While many of us remain skeptical of the paranormal, Halloween is the perfect time of year to indulge in a bit of spooky excitement and fun.

This sizable complex boasts a unique and fascinating history. Eloise first opened its doors in 1839 as a “poor house” and farm and eventually operated as the largest psychiatric facility in the United States.

At the height of its operation as a hospital and sanatorium, the property was home to a whopping 78 buildings. Today, most structures have been abandoned, demolished, or entirely repurposed.

While it’s important to acknowledge the reality of Eloise’s history as a facility for people suffering from mental illnesses, there’s no denying the sense of eeriness that abounds throughout the grounds.
