The Haunting
North Texas State Hospital is an active state psychiatric hospital campus in Wichita Falls, Texas, not an abandoned asylum. Its ghost stories usually come from patients, staff, and commenters describing old buildings, figures in windows, a woman-like presence called Nightingale, and unsettling dorm or hospital-wing experiences.
The Handbook of Texas says the hospital was established by the Thirty-fifth Legislature in 1917 as the Northwest Texas Insane Asylum, with first patients admitted on January 31, 1922. It later operated as Wichita Falls State Hospital and became part of the North Texas State Hospital system. Because it is an active medical facility, access is restricted and privacy concerns should be emphasized.
Reported activity: Reports mention floating figures in halls, a haze passing through a wall, figures in windows of closed buildings, and stories around an old cemetery on the grounds. Skeptical and non-paranormal comments appear as well, so the entry should frame the haunting as institutional folklore rather than verified fact.
