The centre at Anna

Illinois · USA · Haunted site

Figures are reported running, and standing in the windows as you drive past. A man walking the service tunnels felt a hand on his back.

The state facility at Anna, Illinois has been reported for decades, from inside and from the road.

People describe figures running, and figures standing at the windows as they drive by. A man walking the tunnels beneath the site felt a hand on his back. The residential cottages produce accounts of nurses and of former residents.

This entry needs a word of care. The people whose lives were spent in institutions like this one had psychiatric conditions or developmental disabilities, they were placed here by others, and many never left. Illinois institutions of this era have a documented record of neglect and worse, and the residents were the ones it happened to rather than the cause of anything.

Anna's own history includes a town reputation that residents have spent a century trying to shake, and it has nothing to do with the hospital.

The centre is active, houses vulnerable people, and is closed to visitors. Driving past to look is not acceptable.
