Wood County Asylum

Opened in 1910 with 250 patients and 19 staff, this asylum used electroshock therapy and bloodletting until it closed in 1974. The building is gone, but the site still draws visitors.

Despite the building being razed, staff at Marshfield Scrap Company on the former asylum grounds still report ghostly occurrences. The most commonly seen spirit is a skinny teenage girl with long, straggly black hair who appears in windows and within the remaining tunnels. The land itself seems to hold the trauma of decades of institutional suffering.
