Obviously, but usually people have reasons for sneeking into hospitals in the middle of the night.

Alberta Hospital is actually haunted.

Not true on the doctor suicide part.

You want to talk scary though? When my mom was fresh out of nursing school way the fuck back in the 70's she was in charge of the entire psychiatric ward of Alberta Hospital for the night shift. That's back when they still used shock therapy, she's got a whole lot of fucked up stories. You couldn't pay me enough money to go there

Hey Edwin,

There was a tour I went on last year just before the end of August. The tour started on Whyte ave and went for about an hour. The tour covered alot of supposed places that have a haunted history on Whyte and with in a few blocks of whyte.

It is a walking tour and the cost is $5.00 per person. It was worth it. Nothing really creeped me out though, but alot of interesting information.

I can not recall the name of the tour but when I do I will post up. I plan to go again this year.

FYI: They STILL use "shock therapy" AKA: ECT or Electro Convulsive Therapy, at Alberta Hospital. They also happen to have every major building on the grounds connected by underground hallways... Now THAT is freaky!!!

How do I know? Used to drive a friend up there weekly to visit his brother who happened to be going through ECT at the time.

I guess ECT really screws with you're short term memory... he couldn't remember his name/number/address/date/family members/etc

I don't suggest going out there to check out the underground hallways after hours because the entire place is wired with Pan Tilt Zoom camera's, inside AND out.... But I couldn't see why one couldn't go out during the day and check it out, just act like a visitor!

Unreal creepy place.... Some building worse than others plus there are abandoned barracks type buildings in an abandoned neighborhood way in the back40 that you can drive to... paved streets and stuff.

Just so you know...:)

this no crack house it's really haunted i've been in there. don't believe me? then go in there, i DARE you.

The old thread.

I could be wrong, but it seems like some people are confusing 2 hospitals in this thread. So just to be clear...

Alberta Hospital is operational and populated psychiatric hospital, but it does have some abandoned buildings. It's just off Manning Drive on the way to Ft. Sask.

The abandoned hospital with a security guard and frequent police patrol is near Westmount mall. I forget the actual name of it.

No doctor ever commited suicide there although one did die of a heart attack while on duty.

She said the elevator thing is a crock of shit, it's still all key controlled and she had never heard of anything.

I thought they didn't use it anymore, but I just talked to her about it and was suprised to hear her tell me they still did!

Said it really, really seemed to work for severely depressed people. Her very first day at Alberta hospital the first thing she had to do was hold a guy down while he was getting zapped :eek:

I also asked about the hallways, she said it was for patient transfers and also for students to get back in their dorms without getting soaked/frozen in bad weather. How are you gonna dress up a patient on a strecher for cold weather, nevermind push them across the grounds covered in snow and ice. She said most hospitals with multiple buildings have this.

Here's about the best story I could actually get her to tell me. When she was just finished school and working there, she was running a psych unit, it was in the 9 building and it was for the really violent, really fucked up people. They had summer kids from the University there from the nursing program helping them out with medial shit, just a summer job. There was one guy there who was in a bad motorcycle accident, lost a leg, paralized in the other, whole body burnt and scarred and gross (she said think of vanilla sky but without the money) and his whole family basically disowned him and he had nobody, and was mad depressed. They used to roll their own cigarettes because they were poor, it would get cut into one long roll and then you'd cut it with this cutter. People like this nutjob weren't allowed to cut their own normally. Some university kid gave him the cutter and forgot to get it back. That night my mom was going around doing final checks before she left and found this guy in his dorm room maybe a minute after he slashed himself, but he didn't do it across the wrists (he had tried that before and failed) but managed to slice all the way down both his forearms and half way across his neck before my Mom found him. She said she'd seen worse, but didn't really feel like talking about it. And to this day, she still doesn't like motorcycles because of that.

twisted.. lol

lol my mom see's that kind of shit daily..
shes got some good stories

~30oZ~
well I found the hospital last night, i never went in or anything because there was a K9 security car right up my ass lol so I drove around it for a bit and then left, I'll be back to check it out but damn that thing is huge. You guys actually went into that thing at night?:eek:

FAMILY GUY
I used to deliver pizza there years ago. It is a very creepy place. I would have to take a road that would go around somewhere in the middle of the complex. Of course it was always around 11:30 PM, so it was always dark.

I went to a presentation done by ghost hunters at the Library last week.

The presentation was disorganized and not very infomative. With that being said, there were some good shots of houses around the city and grave yards with ghosts in them, however they were not as clear as I would like.

The most entertaining part about it was some dude who was 60 who was going on tangents on how we are "all insane" and this is all some sort of obscure reality we are living in, and we are not living, etc. I had to bite my tounge as I was about to burst out laughing at this guy.

The ghost hunters did have some impressive survaliance equiptment though that we got to see and play with.

I tested it on myself and sadly...I am not a ghost. :lol:

As an FYI the Edmonton Ghost Tours has kicked off again. I was there last year (or the year before) and it was well worth the $5.00 spent. The host was very knowladgeable and informative.

i remember back in high school during summer school at Scona one year, a bunch of my friends and i used to go sit in the drama hall way with the lights off and see things move under the doors when we were the only ones there.we would sit on the stage in the dark in a little cabinet hear people walking across the stage or people laughing when everything else was locked up, the elevator light used to go on and off. i still have some pictures from that. there were some "orbs" in the pictures above or to the side of the girls.

also: freemason's hall is haunted.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but it is Halloween!
Apparently a few friends want to go around and do something stupid. A few years back there was an abandoned ski lodge up North of Edmonton. It provided some kicks and I'd like to give it a second go, unfortunately the directions there have eluded me.
Anyone on here might know what I'm talking about?

Iv worked Hospital Security for both University of Alberta Hospital and Caritas (still a casual)



Aberheart Building Iv seen the ghost 2 times and had a door slam on my face another time. Link

It used to be a pallitve care hospital and TB care, built in the 30's I think. We used to have to patrol it in 4hr increments ALONE in the middle of the night . All my experiances happened minutes within 230am though. Its now renovated so it really isnt that scary but when I started it look like somthing from Silent hill. Everyone who has worked Security or Housekeeping has stories of this place. Keep in mind though I worked there for 6.5yrs and only have a couple stories.



The Edmonton General has a wing that gives you a pretty bad feeling and is UBER creepy. Iv only worked 2 day shifts there so I have no exciting stories.


Neither one you can explore though but they are pretty scary.

You will get arrested if you break into either too (just so ppl dont try and check it out).

UofA tunnel system is scary as hell too (again think silent hill when shit goes to hell). dont know if its haunted but its sure creepy.
