The old hospital at Webb City

Missouri · USA · Hospital

Built in the early 1900s, abandoned since the late sixties. People hear gurneys being pushed down the corridors.

This hospital at Webb City, Missouri was built early in the twentieth century and has stood abandoned since the late 1960s.

What people report are strange lights, voices, and the sound of gurneys being pushed along the corridors.

The gurney is a good detail. It is a specific, mechanical, entirely mundane sound that anybody who has been in a hospital recognises immediately, and it is not the sort of thing anyone would invent for effect.

An update notes that the building was being converted into a retirement home, which is a common fate for hospitals of this size and age: the corridors, the room proportions and the lift shafts all suit it.

Webb City grew rich on lead and zinc, and the mining district around Joplin was one of the most productive in the world before it left the ground poisoned.

The building is private property.
