The Vermont Police Academy in Pittsford is widely rumored to be haunted, with many of the ghost stories linked to its previous life as a tuberculosis hospital. The facility was built in 1907 as the Vermont State Sanatorium, a hospital to treat people suffering from tuberculosis. For several decades, it served as a hospital where many patients died from the highly contagious and deadly disease before effective treatments were available. In the mid-1970s, the property was repurposed and became the Vermont Police Academy. The Nurse: One of the most common tales involves the spirit of a former nurse. According to legend, she died of tuberculosis after contracting it from her patients. Her ghost is said to continue her duties, roaming the academy's hallways as she did during her lifetime. Academy recruits and staff have reported numerous unsettling occurrences over the years, including cold spots, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures. The police academy's reputation is so well-known that it has been the subject of paranormal investigations and featured on podcasts such as New England Legends.
