This North Dakota Sanatorium Is Among The Most Haunted Places In The Nation
There’s no doubt about it: North Dakota can be a pretty spooky place. To celebrate this high strangeness that’s uniquely our own, let’s take a look at one of the spookiest places in North Dakota, if not the entire country. This terrifying place will send a shiver down your spine just by its appearance alone. This is considered the most haunted spot in the entire state, and you’ll want to stay far, far away from it…unless you’re like us, in which case, you’re going to want to check it out if you ever get the chance.
As mentioned before, the San Haven Sanatorium is on private property, and due to the neglected nature of the buildings, it’s highly dangerous to visit. We do not recommend exploring it yourself. However, one cool way to experience it without ever stepping foot in it is this eerie yet awesome drone footage taken on the grounds. Creepy stuff – we love it!
