Are the Grounds of This Old Tuberculosis Hospital in Upstate South Carolina Haunted

Between 1930 and the early 1950s, the Greenville County Tuberculosis Hospital treated hundreds of patients suffering from tuberculosis. Several patients succumbed to the deadly disease while housed at the hospital, but the exact number who met their untimely demise is unknown.

A fire ravaged the old building in 2002, and today the site serves as Herdklotz Park. Before the building burned, people exploring the building claimed to hear screams, orbs, footsteps pounding down the empty halls, voices saying, “HELP ME!” or “GET OUT!”, and sobs. It’s enough to make you LOSE your mind!

Some have reported that even rainwater turns red, while houses near the old hospital have encountered shadows inside. The newer park may remind residents of better times, but the patients are still actively keeping watch from nearby.
