The Old South Pittsburg Hospital is considered a paranormal hotspot, drawing ghost hunters for decades with its history of deaths and stories of activity. Numerous paranormal investigations at the site, which closed in 1998, have documented reports of physical and audible phenomena, as well as encounters with specific entities. Dark, unexplainable figures have been frequently seen by visitors and former employees walking through the hospital's corridors and rooms. In addition to shadow figures, full-bodied apparitions have also been reported throughout the building. Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) captures and voices heard with the naked ear are common, including cries of babies in the nursery and whispers from other areas. Visitors have reported hearing inexplicable footsteps, knocking, and the slamming of doors, especially on the upper floors. Furniture, hospital beds, and medicine carts have been seen moving on their own, and smaller objects have been thrown through the air. The ghost of a young boy, reportedly named Buddy, is said to haunt the third floor. He's known to interact playfully with visitors, and some have played games with him. He is believed to have died from a snakebite. This is one of the most active and sought-after locations for paranormal investigations. The ghost of an elderly woman who died from complications of dementia, Miss Nellie, is said to haunt her former room. The spirit of a friendly but misunderstood caretaker, named Jim, is believed to remain in the building. Some investigators have reported encountering a menacing spirit that specifically attacks women.
