Can you share a particularly creepy Arizona State Hospital ghost story?

One common ghost story is about a former patient's apparition seen in the old hallways. Legend has it that this patient had a tragic end at the hospital and now haunts the place.

One of the more terrifying stories is that of a young patient who was said to be possessed. The staff noticed strange behavior like speaking in tongues and having superhuman strength at times. They tried various treatments but nothing seemed to work. The patient would often have fits during the night, screaming and thrashing about in a way that sent chills down the spines of everyone in the ward. This story was passed around among the staff and other patients, creating an atmosphere of fear and superstition within the hospital.

There was a story of a patient who was wrongly diagnosed and locked in a solitary confinement cell for years. He was left in the dark, with minimal human contact. His mental state deteriorated rapidly, and he started to self - harm. The staff did little to help him, thinking he was just being difficult. It was a tragic case of a life ruined by the system of the hospital.

A particularly spooky Ball State University ghost story involves the campus chapel. There was a young couple who used to meet there secretly in the past. One day, the girl was waiting for the boy, but he never showed up. Heartbroken, she took her own life in the chapel. Since then, people say that on moonlit nights, you can see the figure of a girl in a white dress wandering around the chapel. Some have also reported hearing soft sobbing coming from inside the chapel when it's locked and no one should be there.

Often, these stories originate from the high emotions and traumas associated with hospitals. Deaths, especially unexpected ones, create an atmosphere of unease. For example, if a patient dies during a difficult surgery, the shock and sadness can fuel the idea of a ghostly presence. It could also be due to the old and often spooky architecture of some hospitals, with long corridors and dimly lit areas.

Sure. I heard about a woman who went on a date with a man she met online. During the date, he kept staring at her in a really intense way that made her uncomfortable. Then, he started talking about his ex - girlfriends in a very negative and obsessive way. He even mentioned how he 'dealt' with one of them when she tried to break up with him. It was so creepy that the woman made an excuse and left as soon as possible.

Sure. A firefighter was called to an old, burned - out building. As he was exploring the upper floors, he saw a figure in the corner. But when he shined his flashlight on it, there was nothing there. He heard a faint crying sound and his radio started to act up with static. He quickly made his way out as he felt a sense of dread.

Well, there was this time when I was driving in a thick fog at night. I could barely see the road in front of me. I heard what sounded like a child crying outside my car, but I couldn't see anyone. I was so freaked out that I stopped the car for a moment. Then the crying stopped. I quickly drove away, not wanting to stay there any longer. I still wonder what it could have been.

Sure. There was a man who met a woman on Tinder. She invited him over to her place. When he got there, the place was a mess and she had some really strange looking items all over. She then started talking about some really dark and disturbing things she was into, like collecting dead animals. He got out of there as fast as he could.

Well, there's this BuzzFeed story about a kid who refused to go into the basement. When asked why, he said there were 'cold hands' that would grab him down there. The family thought he was just being imaginative at first, but then they started to feel a strange coldness in the basement too. It was really spooky as they explored possible reasons from a drafty old house to something more paranormal.
