Yorktown Memorial Hospital, located in Texas, is reputed to be one of the most haunted places in the state. The hospital, which opened in 1950 and closed in the late 1980s, has become a hotspot for paranormal enthusiasts due to numerous reports of ghostly apparitions, unexplained noises, and eerie sensations. Visitors have often claimed to see shadowy figures, hear disembodied voices, and feel sudden drops in temperature. The hospital's unsettling history and abandoned state contribute to its eerie atmosphere, making it a prime location for ghost tours and investigations.

The Trans-Allegheny Insane Asylum, known for its brutal treatments and poor living conditions, is believed to be haunted due to the numerous deaths that occurred there. Treatments included lobotomies, medication-induced catatonia, hydrotherapy, and more. Many patients suffered or died as a result of these treatments. The asylum, which was overcrowded and understaffed, witnessed several violent incidents among patients. After its closure in 1994, numerous reports of hauntings, including apparitions, shadowy figures, and strange noises, have been documented.
