St. John's Hospital, United Kingdom

From series “The Most Mysterious Buildings (Houses, Palaces, Castles) in the World”
Year: 1852.

Back o topic of abandoned hospitals, it’s certainly worth to mention St. John’s Hospital situated in Lincolnshire. It was opened in 1852. The hospital was initially focused on the mentally ill from the local poor. Obviously, local doctors didn’t even try to help people, dozens of years incredibly cruel medical experiments were hold there. The hospital has been working more than a hundred years, and in 1989, the local authorities decided to close it.

The workers who were hired for the removal of equipment from the hospital had to pass through some of the most horrific days in their lives. According to workers, eerie cries heard in the walls of the hospital couldn’t be compared with any other; the most frightening fact is their inexplicable origin. After the hospital was closed, firefighters repeatedly came there, as there were many reports about fire in the abandoned building. Fireguards didn’t find traces of fire, but they were able to see a few obscure lights that quickly disappeared.

It’s noteworthy that many patients witnessed paranormal phenomena and told doctors about suddenly erupts into flames and chilling screams, but nobody listened the words of mentally ill patients. Tourists visiting the hospital today often complain of sudden panic attacks and headaches. The St. John’s Hospital is reasonably considered one of the darkest and most mysterious buildings in the world. Next - Crenshaw House

Top destination around St. John's Hospital - Lincoln

In ancient times, a fortification was raised on the site of the modern city. That fortification belonged to the 9th Roman Legion. The first colony outside the fortification was established in 71 AD and named Lindum. This was a popular place to settle for veteran soldiers. During the archaeological excavations, scientists discovered many proofs of the ancient city that was here. They found a cemetery, several baths, a beautiful fountain, and other ruins of the former Lindum colonia. During the Middle Ages, Lincoln was one of the five Danelaw cities. Thanks to its location at the crossing of several important trading routes, the city was prospering and developing quickly.

At a certain time in the history of Lincoln, this city was minting coins. When Wilhelm the Conqueror came to England to fight and make this territory his own, Lincoln was one of the first cities that attracted his attention. The city’s location on a hill was one of the reasons for this. It was simple and convenient to control the surrounding territory from Lincoln, and so the Norman ruler made an order to build fortifications and a castle on the hill. The first railroad appeared in the region in the 19th century. It connected Lincoln to other regions of England. Starting from that time, the city became an important center of the steel industry.
