Josh & Heather Daughrity - Hospital of Haunts
10/11/24 • 20 min
For 150 years, the diseased, the deranged, and the dying came to Lychhurst Hospital for comfort and healing. What they found there was something far more sinister.
In 1844, Lychhurst was built, stone by cursed stone, deep in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia.
Originally intended as an exclusive resort for the wealthy, Lychhurst would suffer through multiple incarnations—military hospital, tuberculosis sanatorium, psychiatric facility, and more—before finally being abandoned to steep in its own sickness, but through all the hospital’s changes, one thing remained the same...
Lychhurst holds onto its ghosts.
The halls still echo with the footsteps of doctors long dead. The rooms resound with the cries of patients long silenced. The tunnels still thrum with the castoff energy of lives long abandoned.
Visiting hours have started. The doors are open, and you are expected.
Come tour the most haunted hospital in the world. Come visit our Hospital of Haunts. 23 Wards. 23 Ghosts. 23 Stories.
At Lychhurst Hospital, we’ve got the cure for what ails you.
Featuring stories from:
Christy Aldridge, Simon Bleaken, Bridget D. Brave, Brooklyn Ann Butler, Lexx Christian, Rebecca Cuthbert, Blaine Daigle, Heather Daughrity, Jason Daughrity, Joe DeRouen, John Durgin, Stephanie Ellis, Joshua Loyd Fox, Jennifer Anne Gordon, Gage Greenwood, Caleb Jones, Marie Lanza, Stephen Mark Rainey, Jeani Rector, Susan H.

A group of students encounter a supernatural terror while on a road trip through Appalachia in this chilling new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the “unforgettable and scary” (Harlan Coben) Chasing the Boogeyman.
1983: Three students from a small college embark on a week-long road trip to film a documentary on roadside memorials for their American Studies class. The project starts out as a fun adventure with long stretches of empty road and nightly campfires where they begin to open up with one another.
But as they venture deeper into the Appalachian backwoods, the atmosphere begins to darken. They notice more and more of the memorials feature a strange, unsettling symbol hinting at a sinister secret. Paranoia sets in when it appears they are being followed. Their vehicle is tampered with overnight and some of the locals appear to be anything but welcoming. Before long, the students can’t help but wonder if these roadside deaths were really random accidents...or is something terrifying at work here?
