We're keeping it "light" this week with a terrifying ghost story! The San Haven Sanatorium in North Dakota was built in 1909 and housed many patients of TB and mental illness. Due to overcrowding, the facility was sadly understaffed which lead to neglect and the mistreatment of patients. Ultimately, this lead to the facility's shut down in 1987. Ghost and other negative energies still roam the facility crying and messing with those who dare to enter.

In 1834 a fire broke out at the grand LaLaurie Mansion on New Orlean's Royal Street. The fire was shocking but not for the most obvious reasons. The fire brought Madame LaLaurie's atrocities against her slaves into the light. The citizens of New Orleans were shocked by the extreme cruelty in which M Delphine LaLaurie treat these poor souls.
