Lima TB Hospital
Lima, Ohio

The Lima District tuberculosis Hospital opened in 1911. It was a
24 bed facility and was one of the first hospitals in the state to treat TB. In
1927 it was enlarged to accommodate the increase in TB patients. In 1957, it was
remodeled to provide room to house 138 patients. At this time patients were
requires three to five years hospitalization for treatment. The name was changed
to Ottawa Valley Hospital in 1960. In 1970, the hospital lost it’s eligibility
for state funding and was forced to close. The building has remained abandoned
since, accept for possibly drug addicts and vandals.

Some interesting reports of paranormal activity had peaked our
interest in this site. A fast moving shadowy apparition running down a long
hall, a ghost of a young girl in white, an overwhelming feeling of sadness, an
eerie feeling of being followed, loud bangs, and disembodied voices.

 It took quite a while to find the building in the dark, NOPSS only investigated about an hour inside the building and then we were escorted out by the police.  The interesting thing is we were glad to see them come for us.  Although we don't have much evidence this was truely one of the scariest places we have investigated.
To access EVPs click on audio file
We are not sure the following is paranormal but it was freightening.  At 56 secs. you will hear the first of a series of loud banging noises.
NOPSS personal experiences:  Female humming, footsteps, loud bang above us and then to the side of us.
