I worked at St. Francis for six years and often experienced things that I could not explain. The records room in on the second floor of what is refered to as the 29 building. Even though the public address system has been disconnected for many years you can still hear static coming from the speakers. On several occasions the ghost of doctors have been seen in the doctor’s lounge on the main floor and I have heard a female’s voice in an empty office in the former adminstration area.

That place is creepy during the evening. My Mom just got home from the psychiatric part and we visited her every night for the past 4 nights. Last night one of the elevators came down from one of the other floors and when the door opened there was no one there. No one had pressed the button for the elevator to come so it must have been one of the ghosts sending us one.

that’s really creepy. my mom got a job there when we lived just near colorado springs. i can’t say my mom was a real believer in ghost, but she didnt say it wasn’t possible. anyway she would come home all the time telling me about weird things that she would see or hear. (cuz i’m highly interested in this stuff!) anyway she would say all the time about hating having to go into the records room and how the elevators would do that exact thing. she never really expecience anything truly substantial, but to hear it from other people is kind of reassuring. But i have one question does anyone remember the story / stories about the nuns. i faintly remember one about the nuns in the gardens. but wasn’t there tunnels from hospital over to the chapel? if you do know these please feel free to email me @ : Cherryblde@hotmail.com. thank you.

lol yea i was borin in that hospital and when i went back there this nurse would always watch me everywhere i went in the hospital even when im sleeping and i rolled over and i looked through the door and she was looking at me so yea i dont rele go there anymore.

I use to work at this hospital, and the stuff there I could not explain… LIKE when you walk into the 29 building, you can hear footsteps behind you like someone was right behind you following you, but when I would turn around no one would be there or anywhere around me, and I witnessed a figure walking into what I came up to a CLOSED elevator.Myself and another co worker were moving stuff onto that floor, it sounded like the door was rattling and when we walked past it stopped then it started up as we walked by. You can also hear someone faintly whistle a tune

OMFG I was born in that hospital and I was so little that i dont remember that much about the hospital but i do remember that when i was like 4 i went there and I saw this nurse and she would creep me out she would like do the same stuff to me when i went there with my mom but instead she would say “How you doin?”

Yah this might help you all out. On the staticing speakers, that is probably because the amplifier is still on although the Microphone(s) was disconnected years ago. In a building like that it isn’t worth the money to find it. Also alot or all elevators are made to cycle by them selves. The Idea is to go to the most common floors and maybe save a possible rider a minute. Also possible vibrating motors (for the elevator and or ventalation and such) could be the culprit for vibrating doors. In these cases the vibrations can come and go for more than one reason.Don’t get me wrong I believe in ghosts, I have lived in Colorado Springs my whole life and have had to many friends tell me where they actually are. And guess what? St Francis is one of them or which ever way you feel about it. lol

Hello, I just got a job at ST.FRANCIS and I have lived here all my life also and I knew many people who passed on at that hospital, maybe I will get to have a reunion there, I will let you all know if I see anything.

This Is Spooky

I visit there every tuesday evening and the second floor in one of the towers, weird stuff has been happening and when im outside ive seen outlines of figures and just, the entire place is creepy.

i was once in there because i broke a rib and at night one night i had a nightmare i looked up and their was a little girl o and sue the result for the elavator was probley some kid wanted to have some fun and he pushed all the buttons

hi, well i have been in that place and when i would go there alot a t night to see my uncle and everything i would bring him things like a cu of ice frome the room beside him and it would be dark and i wasn ttall enough to reach the light so whenever i went in there i wiould see things go past me and even just stand right there behind me for the longest time and you think seein a figure is scary think of one following you home and haveing to go back to just to get them back where they came frome…well its not fun being scared all the time ..

I’ve enjoyed reading your comments. My family and I are planning a trip to Colorado Springs in April 2007 and we’d really like to go to some haunted places. Do any of you know of any haunted tours or places that allow the public to come in? Any recommendations? We (especially my son and I) are believers and are really into this sort of thing.

Shirley im glad that you are coming to see Colorado Springs it is beutiful if you want to see somewere haunted i would advise Cave of the Winds it is really spooky in there

I am a security guard for penrose, and I have never seen anything.I go to that wing/floor of the 29 buliding several time a night. if you do not know what 29 means there three diffrent wings bulit at diffrent times 1975 1974 and 1929 the “29″ buliding is were most of the sightings are or so I am told.

my exboyfrienf was born here. But he said he has heard anything abou ha hospital beinging hunted.

All hospitals are haunted!! There are dead souls/spirits every where! Think about it!

Wow. Did any of you read this?

I’m glad I found this site, but I am becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of proper grammer and punctuation on the Internet. I, too, was born at this hospital. I would love to check it out, but with proper equipment. I always feel uncomfortable asking home and buisiness owners if I can hunt. Because you cannot just walk into a hospital with a camera and tons of equipment. The patients there could be offended, as well as employees who don’t want to be open-minded to ghost hunters. Could be worth the effort, though.

OMG, I had a sleep study done there last year and at the time I told my boyfriend that I didn’t want to stay because I felt there were spirits there, now I know I am not crazy. Thank you !

Brielle that’s funny that they want you to use correct grammar, capitalization, and punctuation and you were complaining about how it bothers you that people don’t then you spelled the word “business” incorrectly! You spelled it “buisiness”. haha

Anyway, I have only been to Penrose one time to visit a friend who had a baby and so I can’t say if this is or isn’t true. I had my daughter at Memorial. Either way it would be really cool to get some actual evidence on film to see if the stories are true!
