Real Haunted House

Mental Institution for Children

Meadow Vista, California

This site, which now lies deep in the woods, was once a mental institution for many “crazy” children in the 1930s. There is also a hospital associated with the abandoned cabins that lies 10 miles away. The children, who were violent or depressed, were sent here for treatment. Children who misbehaved were strapped to the beds with belts and beaten until they were unconscious. Many the children were killed and due to this cruelty, the facility was closed and the gate around the hospital’s perimeter was chained closed. Many have seen not only lights in the windows, but shadows of children as well.

That is terrible but all jokes aside that should be a haunted house that you could visit at halloween.

I was at a friends house one time, you know the whole spending the night thing back in high school. Well anyways she lived in an old house that used to be an army hospital. So to get to the point we lit a candle and you know what they say about the flame on the candle, right. Well if not they say if a spirit is near then the flame on the candle will shoot up about two inches or three. Well the candle did just that and then it went right back down. It was really creepy, but after that happened we decided to go to bed. All throughout the night I kept hearing strange noises that you usually don’t hear in a normal house. There were drawers slamming open and shut, screaming, and you could hear metal banging together. The next morning I got woke up with something or someone pushing on my back. I turned around and no one was there, thats when I looked over at my friend and she was still sleeping, so I figured it couldn’t have been her. Well that is my story about what I have experienced. You can write to me and tell me what you think about what I have told you at Ch.arlyne21@hotmail.com
Thanks for listening/reading.

Well, first off why would you want to go to a place with so much great depression, violence, and massacred little boys and girls. I will tell you all something my Great Grandmother worked there as one of the head nurses. When kids were blind or whatever, the head nurse Dr. Flink, he thought if he shoved ice picks in their eyes it would eventually help them regain there sight. Well After about 1 week or so they would die. My grandmother tells me stories all the time. The adress is 5776 Ellenburk Drive. I’m literally begging you not to visit, I have a scar on my back from when I got to encounter with a young girl, she said her name was Elonora..Creepy..

Kandy is my big sister I’m 15 shes 17, what she is saying is all true.
It all started on halloween night. 12:43 P.M..I got dared to stay the night there by Kandy, well knowing me if you dare me to do somethimg I will. When I arrieved nothing happend for about 35 minutes, as soon as i got to the 2nd floor I started feeling uneasy. I couldn’t believe my eyes but I saw a little girl about 7 or 8 years of age maybe. She was wearing a pale pink silky dress saying ” Torie, please help me, free me, I know you, you’re grandmother was Marie, she was awful, she helped trying to dig my eyes out”..Now she was ragging and screaming to the top of her lungs at me “let me out of here you bit**!!!!”.. Then she looked at me and
I felt a great depression…She died of lukimia? I think it’s cancer lol. But I live a few miles away from there. That is a place I will never go agian.
