Rolling Hills Asylum

Open since 1827 as a county poorhouse, Rolling Hills took in orphans, the mentally ill, widows, and minor criminals. A woodshop on-site made coffins for the dead, who were buried on the grounds. Over 1,700 deaths were documented before it finally closed in 1974 — with hundreds more in unmarked graves.

Rated the second most haunted site in North America by Haunted North America, Rolling Hills has been featured on Ghost Adventures and Ghost Asylum. The most famous spirit is Roy Crouse, a seven-foot-tall man who lived there from age 12 until his death in 1942. Roy likely suffered from gigantism and was sent there because his prominent banker father considered him an embarrassment.

The "Shadow Hallway" on the second floor consistently has dark figures walking in and out of doorways and crawling across floors. In "Hattie's Room," an elderly blind woman's voice yells "Hello!" The basement still has iron shackles used to restrain patients, and the morgue remains supernaturally active -- ghostly voices and objects moving on their own.
