History
Built in 1720 this country house used to be a prisoner of war camp but went on to be used as a home for handicapped children and later as a military and civilian hospital. It remained in military use until 1944 and in 1948 reopened as a psychiatric hospital. The building was eventually sold in 1991 and plans have been made for its demolition to make way for new housing.
Paranormal Activity
This old psychiatric hospital is famous with locals for having an eery feeling about it. Doors have been known to slam by themselves and strange whispers and noises can be heard in various areas of the building. Switches have been known to come on by themselves and cold spots appear in various locations for no reason.
