The Paranormal:
The sheer weight of suffering and loss at the Sanatorium is palpable, manifesting in persistent paranormal activity.
Many visitors report an unsettling, pervasive sensation of being watched as they move through the deserted rooms, often accompanied by intense emotional energies—overwhelming feelings of sadness, fear, or anxiety localized to specific areas.
The most notorious activity often centers on specific figures and locations. In the massive Adams Hall, phantom footsteps are regularly heard, echoing up and down the stairwells as if staff or patients are still making their rounds.
Elsewhere, the chilling soundscape includes disembodied voices and whispers captured on recording equipment, but even more disturbing are the residual echoes of the White Plague itself: the sounds of coughing and wheezing, suggesting the lost souls of patients are still checked in.
Investigators and guests alike often report glimpses of shadow figures, fleeting dark shapes moving just at the periphery of vision in the long, shadowy corridors.
More tangible are the reports of the "Doctor's Ghost," a spectral figure said to haunt the halls, eternally bound to the sick and still making his rounds in the dark.
This activity is often accompanied by inexplicable cold spots—dramatic and sudden temperature drops felt deep within the abandoned patient wards and the extensive, miles-long network of steam tunnels beneath the buildings.
Finally, one area famous for its activity is the laundry room. Even when the facility was operational, workers reported baffling poltergeist activity there, with items being moved, objects tossed across the room, and machines activating themselves.
This disturbance is often tied to the apparition of a woman seen wandering the campus, possibly a former worker still clocking in for her eternal shift.
