Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital

New Jersey · United States · Cemetery

Local account holds that the state took this New Jersey land from a slaughterhouse owner who refused to sell, and that he later became a patient in the.

The old psychiatric hospital at Marlboro, New Jersey produces reports of a rotten smell, a whistling noise, and the sense of being followed.

The story told locally about how the state acquired the land is the reason the site has the reputation it has. According to it, the ground had been a slaughterhouse. The state wanted it for an institution. The owner refused to sell, and the land was taken from him anyway.

And then, according to the same account, he ended up committed to the institution built on it.

That is a story rather than a record, and no part of it has been confirmed. It is also exactly the shape of story that attaches itself to institutions people were frightened of, and it should be read that way.

The hospital closed in 1998 and the buildings have since been demolished. The site is closed.
