Sanatorium

The paranormal investigation conducted at the TB Sanatorium was at the old Nyberg Building. The construction of the Nyberg Building was started in 1938 and finished in 1941. It is 528 feet long, five stories high and had a 512 bed capacity.  At one time it housed doctor's offices, laboratories, x-ray and pneumothorax rooms, employees' cafeteria and kitchen. A morgue was located on the 5^th floor.

As the TB sickness grew in Arkansas so to did the population of the sanatorium. The people came to the hospital to receive the cure but because the cure had not been fully perfected most died. There have been many stories of apparitions as the workers went about their duties. For the most part the stories have centered around noises, moans and footsteps. Once in awhile the shadow of something crossing the hall or a flicker in the corner of a persons eye would start a good story. Because of the stories we were allowed to spend the night in the old abandoned sanatorium to gather evidence of a haunting or to dismiss the stories to an overactive imagination. We gathered enough evidence to conclude that the old Nyberg Building is paranormally active. Spirits are present on all floors but the most active is the third floor especially on the end where prisoners were housed.

Photos

During the July, 2007 investigation, this picture was taken of what appears to be a small spirit peeking out of one of the rooms on the 3rd floor. The investigator that took this picture had been seeing something that he felt was a child peeking out of the doorway at him. When he felt the presence again he took this picture. It very clearly shows the shape of a small human form standing in the doorway. Pic by JP
