St. John - Fiery Hospital

Perhaps the most mysterious and mystical abandoned building of a medical clinic is in Lincolnshire. It bears the name St. John's Hospital. It was opened in 1852 with the aim of providing medical assistance to local mentally ill people. It was not possible to count on large-scale financing, so care for the patients was very weak, and soon after the opening about the institution strange rumors began to circulate. It was rumored that cruel experiments were conducted in its walls on patients in which the staff of the clinic participated directly. Since people in St. John were poor and often completely alone, these authorities did not pay any attention to these rumors.

Soon the patients started complaining about the presence of some invisible forces, which manifested itself differently each time: someone saw the flames, someone heard heart-rending cries. After such complaints, the patient was prescribed an even more severe method of treatment, which often made their condition worse.
All this continued until 1940, when it was decided to move the remaining patients to other clinics. The hospital was decided to be redesigned to a hospital for the military. It existed before 1989, when the authorities made a final decision on its closure. But the oddities did not end there. The workers, who were sent to clean the building of furniture and equipment, told of heartbreaking screams that persecuted them constantly while they were in the building. Also, it was unavoidably followed by a sense of anxiety and a feeling that someone was watching them. Many after the visit to the clinic started headaches.

St. John's Hospital exists to this day and still continues to amaze tourists and passers-by with inexplicable phenomena. Often eyewitnesses saw how from the windows of the hospital bursts of flames, but those who came to the call of firefighters could not find any signs of ignition. They saw only wisps that wandered along the corridors, which quickly dissolved in the walls of the hospital. And to this day tourists who visit this place in search of thrill, note the presence of something inexplicable in these abandoned floors and rooms, once serving as mute witnesses of ill-treatment of sick and defenseless people.
