  scary

  back in 2022, i was a resident in the mental facility at the shelter. I always had a feeling there was something there with me. my peers reported seeing a black woman in a white dress outside but only during the thunderstorms. I remember sitting on my bed reading a book. now im on the 3rd floor and the windows are barred. anyway, i look over and all of a sudden there is this translucent blobby type figure just floating across my window. man I freaked out so badly. another time one of my peers went downstairs to the cafeteria to get our dinner. on her way back to the elevator, where she goes through many tunnels. and theres footsteps following her, theres nobody behind her. she finally gets in the elevator after sprinting and the footsteps were running too. the elevator wouldt close. when it finally did and she came back up to the third floor, she BOLTED out of the elevator. this is surely a really haunted place. and i live there for about 6 months. if you want to learn more stories email me at 27brow_t@union.k12.ia.us

  Creepy

  I had a friend who resided there back in 2010. They were working on part of a wing, and one of the staff made us use this rickety elevator that didn't seem safe ro begin with, and brought us thru a freaking tunnel under the building. Creepy wnough as it is, as we were walking, we heard footsteps behind us, when we stopped they stopped shortly after us, but not the same time and it sounded like womens heels. Once up in the youth wing, walking past one of the rooms, I saw an old woman in realy old wheelchair. Asked why there was an old lady with the kids, and was told there wasn't one and those rooms were all unoccupied.
