worked there back in the 90's. Went on the empty wards on my breaks. Never saw or experienced anything paranormal. Under ward 28, a biohazard room was found with a boat load of barrels stacked in it...anyone who worked 28 right or left stayed sick a lot. The fire place room was one of my favorite areas. Beautiful campus and a shame that demolition is happening.
I still work there 40+ hours a week, just left there less than 3 hours ago in fact. Yea there are some really off things that happen. The tunnels aren't completely off limits to staff if you know the right people to ask. Screams? Yes from patients...but I haven't heard any screams from paranormal things. But the empty wards deemed haunted...I've had things happen. People I've seen and heard them call me. These things happen
I tried getting a simple housekeeping position.. I wanted so badly to work there. but I never heard back after the interview, lol... i guess the lil fella and red headed woman didnt like me! but damn, im obsessed with this place... i would have been an asset to Broughton for sure due to my mild obsession. anyway, im new to the area from Florida... my grandma spent a lil over a year at broughton. ive been curious ever since she would tell me the insane stories of this place. anyway id love for this place to empty out and become abandoned! playground to say the least! take care and God bless!
I was there three times. once on the kids unit and twice on the adult A division. it's haunted. no lie. I would try to sleep on ward 8 and got violently woken up by seizure like activity. I don't have a seizure disorder and all mri that were done there shows I'm OK. I could sleep as long as I was in a different room.
I was a patient for ten days. It is haunted. I saw a man in a black trench coat and hat on the top floor of the main building. I asked the nurse about him. She just smiled and shook her head. The staff there are more tight lipped than any staff of any place I have ever been. Two weeks before I got there a patient was sat on and suffocated because he was still hungry after he ate his tray, he was trying to get food out of the trash can and they killed him for it by sitting on his chest to hold him down. They have a brute squad. If one of the staff press a panic button a group of about six big men come running to take care of any situation. There was blood on the floor every day from fights and abuse.
The never talked about haunting truth of Broughton hospital was' certain staff members were physical abusing the patients' most worked 3'rd shift' women were being over medicated and sexually abused' patients were pitted against each other' the staff would make bets and the patients were manipulated into fighting. Patients were used for punching bags by several of the staff members. Other things happened there that was covered up and kept secret by a certain group of staff members.
My Daddy drove us thru the hospital on full moons and we could heard the screams of the sick ..He worked there and so did my Brother and several of my kin..I have hear and seen plenty
One time when I was at the Hospital, I was visiting my step-dad. When we were sitting in the cafeteria and this woman started screaming and punching herself. While she was doing it the tables and chairs started shaking. And on my way out there was a woman looking out her Window and putting her finger on her neck and sliding it back and forth and pointing it at me. Even tho it freaked me out I still wanna visit the tunnels and stay for a couple of hours at three a.m. and preach the holy word of Jesus.... Anyone down?
Hannah Church- wow! That's a wild experience!! Were you visiting your Step- dad in a cafeteria, or in A on -ward Dining Room?.. Just curious because I used to work there. Thanks!
I also spent 6 months in that hell hole in early 2000s and the worst six months you could hear knocking on the walls coving the old tunnels shadows in the halls late at night and could hear people walking in the shower rooms while in there alone I have so many stories on this place I am 30 this year and still haunted in my dreams of this place other then the beatings they would do I hope at some point they bring the hole thing down
Eric Mintz- Hey Eric, when you were at Broughton, do you Remember which building you were in?.was it the Harper Building?.. If you don't mind me asking..? Thanks!
Eric do you remember about when in the early 2000s? I spent 2 months in the adolescent ward April and May of 2001, we might have been broughton buddies.
I live in the area and frequently visit the old psychiatric building with a spirit box. I captured a name and have tried to research it if there is anyway someone could help. The name was Frank, and I caught it at the door to the abandoned building nearest the old slaughterhouse.
To people who work there, whe the telephone operators are not allowed to talk about it? I am saddened by the demolition. There is so much history there.
morganton is just a weird town anyways, and this place is the utmost weird,even just to drive by it,i have a good friend who is a head nurse there, ima ask her if shes ever seen anything
Looking at this...the way 'nuts' were treated back 50-100 years ago (and today) and I just come apart! I had a friend going through stuff a few years ago If I'd had to spend a week with the old-timers there I would have been going over the edge. What my friend went through was typical divorce, business-failure...whatever that would make most of us go abnormal for a bit. I feel for the mental health workers dealing with the problem with non-existant budgets. Medicate them and turn them loose for the police and hospitals to deal with is like moving the homeless across the street--not a solution!
you are wrong, my mother works there and i have been there multiple times, and can recount on multiple occasions where i have heard strange sounds and seen things out of the corner of my eye...if you really were in the teens ward that explains why, it wasnt added until much later and most of the activity happens in the main buildings...
Harper Building was built in the late 1800's also. The youth weren't originally kept there. In the old days, they put the very sick adults there. My grandmother worked there 30 years& those patients were extremely dangerous!
Broughton is not creepy or scary It may be old but it’s pretty The tunnels were never meant for patients but rather as a way to hide things such at power lines Also Some of the buildings mentioned in this video are no longer standing And the picture or the “entertainment room” was actually a picture of the old chapel
Demolitions are occurring because mental health treatment is $uper expen$ive, has a track record of ineffectiveness, and is just not that important. I assume no better or bigger building will be built in its place to house patients
Okay, no offense, but this is kind of stupid. The reason why you can "still hear screams" is because it's still inhabited. The pictures of how it looked freaking decades ago are totally different than it is right now. This is really ignorant. The tunnels were used so that the patients in A division could walk from one building to another securely, in part due to the fact that the men and the women were kept away from eachother. Also, the adolescent division is completely private.
What do you do with people who cannot control their behavior and thoughts? As far as 'treatment' --the wisdom of the ages is that living things *seek pleasure and avoid pain.* The USA has never given much importance to our country's mentally ill. How much of your taxes do you want to personally spend?
I spent 6 months there, and I tell you that is is haunted
Hey
@daniel bean RUDE!! Don't be so hateful!
Yes, it is.. I worked there 16 years, in alot of different buildings. I never worked at night but I went in at 6:00 am. Spooky but I loved it!!
I spent 3 months as a patient, I had my fair share of unexplainable experiences

Id really like to check that out i live close to here and use to go to day care here back in the day always have wanted to go into the tunnels
i worked there for a couple yrs that place is beyond haunted
Aside from having this book, one of my cousins is a former Broughton orderly. He's told tales of strange goings-on for decades.
just got discharged from here, scary ass place no lie ...

That's so sad! Glad you're ok.
@@missvela9535 thank you. I found the Lord and my whole life has changed. I'm happier than I have ever been.
@@nanab1579 That is awesome. God can completely turn anyone's life around. 🙏
I remember when that happened to that poor patient. Sad.

My Daddy drove us thru the hospital on full moons and we could heard the screams of the sick ..He worked there and so did my Brother and several of my kin..I have hear and seen plenty
My patents drove us through there in the early 70's & we heard screaming too. They had the windows open back then. It was scary for a kid!
*parents

Of the beatings?! Plz elaborate. I'm guessing your talking about nurses beating patients. Did that happen or did U witness it here?!
Eric Mintz- Hey Eric, when you were at Broughton, do you Remember which building you were in?.was it the Harper Building?.. If you don't mind me asking..? Thanks!
Eric do you remember about when in the early 2000s? I spent 2 months in the adolescent ward April and May of 2001, we might have been broughton buddies.
There were no beatings there in the 2000's. lol
Maybe in the old days.
Wonderfull video. Loved the first book and can't wait for the next. Much love and good luck on future books.
My brother pulled year there...still tormented
ive almost been sent there a few times..... i have had a tour....its really pretty and i wouldnt really mind being there honestly
I live in the area and frequently visit the old psychiatric building with a spirit box. I captured a name and have tried to research it if there is anyway someone could help. The name was Frank, and I caught it at the door to the abandoned building nearest the old slaughterhouse.
Where might one find a copy of that "Grave and Death Register"? I have an ancestor who died here in 1894.
it's rather eerie to me because i almost got sent there years ago. kinda makes me think how lucky i am
To people who work there, whe the telephone operators are not allowed to talk about it? I am saddened by the demolition. There is so much history there.
Amen it could have many other uses

My grandfather died in Broughton back in the 50's.
I was admitted there several times back when i was a teen
I want to go...Big Al...seriously.
Has omargoshtv been here yet????

Adolescent wards in the Harper Building are also haunted.
Harper Building was built in the late 1800's also. The youth weren't originally kept there. In the old days, they put the very sick adults there. My grandmother worked there 30 years& those patients were extremely dangerous!
Broughton is not creepy or scary
It may be old but it’s pretty
The tunnels were never meant for patients but rather as a way to hide things such at power lines
Also
Some of the buildings mentioned in this video are no longer standing
And the picture or the “entertainment room” was actually a picture of the old chapel
It is videos like these that causes people to be even more weary about seeking help and going places such as Broughton
@@desilov3096 tunnels were there before there was power there.
@jessyjessboo if ya dont mind me askin what did you go for?
@jessyjessboo you stayed there? what were you there for?
wow im watching the haunted in animal planet, during commercials im watching this :)
Mom work there and now works at the new one because the old one is shutdown
I didnt kno it was that old i knew a few people who went there
they were talking about the uninhabited parts smart one...been on the grounds alot and can say that at night this is somewhere i would HATE to be
The new one is even haunted
Hate to say it but i spent many years in that place as a kid was creepy
If you built a complex for 5000 patients OR prisoners, you could fill it up in a month. This is the problem.
