▲The state of Michigan, US, is beautiful and enchanting. It is known as the center of car production, but it is also famous for hosting car racing competitions.

▲

However, Michigan is even more famous for its innumerous ghost stories.

This gallery outlines just one of these stories that takes place at Traverse City State Hospital.

▲The psychiatric hospital opened its doors in 1885 under the direction of Dr. James Decker Munson.

▲As the first supervisor of the hospital, Munson thought that therapy was equal to beauty.

▲Dr. Munson prohibited the use of straitjackets.

▲A few years later, the hospital started treating people with drug addictions.

▲It also treated patients that were victims of disease outbreaks, such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio and the flu.

▲The hospital even broadened their care facility to include the elderly.

▲Despite Munson's theories, there is evidence that experiments were performed on humans.

▲Some of the experiments included electroshock and lobotomies.

▲Maybe Dr. Munson had no idea what the hospital would turn into. Did the experiments even happen?

▲The hospital closed its doors in 1989 and the building was left abandoned.

▲It seems that the ghosts didn't die with the closing of the hospital.

▲Some believe that the souls of the people who suffered the torturous experiments are imprisoned inside the hospital walls.

▲The building started being renovated and reconstructed in 2000.

▲People working on the construction project reported hearing unidentifiable voices.

▲There are also reports of lights blinking unexpectedly.

▲There are even some who claim to have seen shadows drifting through the hospital.

▲Reporters who visited the site to conduct interviews say they captured inexplicable voice recordings.

▲Another recurring story involves the laundry room.

▲It's common to hear or see the doors shut on their own.

▲Another report from the laundry room is the sensation of being watched.

▲There is always the question of whether the stories are fantasy or truth.

▲

In order to find out for sure, you can take a guided tour through the building.

▲

In order to transport the patients comfortably while also making sure there was no contact between them, they used an underground tunnel.

▲

There are reports that a 'portal to Hell' was discovered inside one of the underground passageways.

▲

Doors that shut on their own, blinking lights, unidentified voices, and shadows, have all been reported from the Traverse City State Hospital, an old psychiatric hospital in Michigan, United States. Are you ready to hear the details of this story?
