Arizona State Hospital legends

The Arizona State Hospital, a long-standing psychiatric hospital campus in Phoenix, is located at 2500 E Van Buren St and has been the focus of local urban legends and ghost-story accounts tied to its history. Newspaper articles, local books, and ghost-tour narratives frequently cite the hospital in discussions of paranormal sightings and unsettling experiences reported by visitors and former employees. Such reports are anecdotal and often referenced in Phoenix folklore rather than established fact.
