History
Three miles south of Mt. Vernon, this old abandoned TB hospital was, until recently the site of a haunted house attraction called the "House of Nightmares" during the fall seasons. This building is four stories tall, with more than 90 rooms, and is 40,000 square feet. It was in operation for over 75 years, and was shut down in 1953 due to being structurally unsound. In 1957, it was purchased and repared by the Mt. Vernon Bible College. In the 1980's the college relocated to Virginia, and in the late 1990's it became a haunted attraction for Halloween.
It is rumored that a fatal elevator crash is the cause of the lingering spirits.
