Abandoned hospitals are truly the stuff of nightmares. From the long corridors to the rusted equipment, these sites are laden with paranormal activity. These abandoned hospital and asylum buildings exist across the country; however, there seem to be an unusual amount of them in our beautiful state of New York alone.
