Old Insane Asylum

     After watching a great deal of scary movies for Halloween, I noticed that being stuck in an asylum is the worst thing that could happen. All the screaming and fighting will definitely cause souls to stay trapped. In Wichita Falls, Tx, there is the White Sanitarium, which is famous for ghost sightings.

     It opened in 1926 as a drug and alcohol abuse treatment center. It is said that some of the medical procedures done on the patients lead to their deaths. Sometime in the 1950's, it was abandoned due to severe floods and remained empty for more than a decade until, 2002. A man named Gilbert Rios, bought the asylum to one day turn it into an apartment complex.

     This is a place where many local people heard of different stories, yet, many of them have seen similar apparitions. By the recreational room, ghosts are seen around a table playing cards, just how they used to when the asylum was opened. If you look at one of the windows, you may catch a glimpse of a women in white watching you.

     Wichita Falls has so many haunted sights that are filled with history, but this one is known to be a place where you can catch more than enough activity. All the screams from the people who died from medical procedures, may drive you crazy.
