St. Elizabeths Hospital haunted-house reports

St. Elizabeths Hospital, a large historic psychiatric hospital established in the 19th century, is frequently mentioned in local accounts of unexplained happenings, with stories from former staff and urban historians about noises, apparitions, and other odd experiences in vacant wards. The complex's long history of mental-health care and abandonment of some buildings has contributed to its inclusion in books and tours focused on haunted or mysterious sites in Washington, D.C. These reports are anecdotal and part of local folklore rather than confirmed paranormal evidence.
