The Old Carson - Yaren Obando

A friend told me once about a supernatural event that occurred about five years ago to his older brother, while working as a part-time security guard in one of his graveyard shift at an abandoned hospital.

The Ft. Carson hospital and mental clinic that is located in the outskirts of Colorado, was once a facility used to keep German and Italian prisoners of war. The facility was closed around 1961 and demolished a couple of years later to build this so called hospital. The hospital has now been closed for more than twenty years and still is being patrolled by authorities to keep homeless people out. ('Warning trespassers will be prosecuted").



Supposedly, the events started the second night he had appointed to that location. At first, a light in the third or fourth floor went repeatedly  on and off. As done daily his brother went on his hourly check when he noticed the anomalies in the building. Intrigued because the building had been with no electricity for an undefined period of time, he quickly reported to his co-workers what he had seen.

The security's protocol was not to intervene but to inform the police right away. Search dogs were dispatched on the building in hopes to find answers, which were never found. To counter this situation, the personal was sent to permanently lock all the doors of the building, and  nobody could enter the hospital.

The next night, the situation worsened. Lights flicked and they could hear door slamming from a distance. Unlike before they decided to go themselves instead of informing the police, and to their surprise all the door remained securely locked. As they search inside the building,the scared brother tried to switch on the lights unsuccessfully. All of the sudden they began to hear weird noises coming from the walls of the hospital, and the lights unexpectedly turned on and off a couple of time before their eyes. The frightened employees rushed out of the building. After all of this my friend's brother immediately quit his job, and a couple of days later the security company resigned the contract with the owners.

Based on further investigation and evidence found, authorities concluded that in the building something strange was happening. They never established whether paranormal activities were taking place, or if the hospital was haunted. Which is not unusual at all, over time odd stories and events like this very same one have taken place around the world. It s common for hospital to experience this kind of unfamiliar incidents due to all the fatalities that occur there. Souls of the dead mourn around places like hospitals for various reasons, whether is to seek revenge and torment people or to take care of undone business. So far there has not been any more information regarding The Old Carson, and what occurs inside.
