      Nicely done fellas. My Great- Grandfather was the Artist Molly Stark, who created all those beautiful murals & sculptures inside at one time. Lots of it ended up Auctioned off at the Art Institute Downtown by the County in the early 2000's. His name was Charles N. Greene.

    I did my clinicals for Nursing here in 1989. My first day there I thought it was the spookiest place I had ever seen! Early morning, the sun not quite rising, and a foggy mist surrounding the building!! I can still see it!! I wrote my first English paper about this place. When you are there it's unforgettable. All these years later.

    "`1 in 7 people had died of TB" It's so weird because I had to write a bunch of Halloween stories for an event last year, and I decided to make one of them a ghost story about a girl who died of TB and the local superstition that sprung up around the disease, and it got rejected because the people running it didn't think TB made sense and was "too weird" to be historically accurate or interesting. I'm like "wth planet are you living on??" It was an adaptation of a story from real life. smdh There is an old TB hospital at our local medical school and it's haunted AF.

      So many people these days have lost their sense of history. It's gotten much much worse in the last 5 to 10 years. They've been told that Covid is the most horrible thing so they know about these other pandemics and flu's but in their mind they just don't match things anymore because they are so busy with now and pushing forward. it's something that you can actually watch in a number of places in a lot of people. Without that connection to help them conceptualize these historic details they have lost most real understanding. i really wish more people would study some of their history rather than just be obsessed with making history or fixing history based upon what somebody else says must be wrong with it without really learning their history either.

    Reminds me of the Waverly Hills sanitorium in Louisville, KY. Nowadays they have "ghost tours" of the old place but to me that just seems highly disrespectful to the folks who suffered and died there. One doesn't know but folks visiting on these tours as a lark may have had a relative in the past who was confined there. My half brother and all his side of the family are from, or still live in Louisville. I lived there as a child and I'm quite sure in my neighborhood (Okalona) that my neighbors probably had relatives in living memory that were there that they personally remembered and cared for. I think the best thing they could do for that place would be to demolish it and turn the grounds into a park, with a monument to the folks that died there placed where the building is now instead of continuing to let it rot away until time and the elements do their slow work.

      Are you referring to demolishing Molly Stark or Waverly? It's been discussed on the future of Molly Stark and one of the concerns is making sure the architecture isn't lost. One of the ideas is to build something for the parks there and use the arches and balconies in the front in the building as part of their front wall and entrance. I haven't heard since Covid any new plans or if that plan is moving off the brainstorming table and into a feasibility study.

    What an amazing building! The architect should be applauded. How sad that it has deteriorated to that extent. After we were all immunized for polio, then, our parents would hide us away if there was any talk of TB. For my first job we needed a TB test and work permit. I remember that twice a year all the teachers were tested by the county nurses. If I remember right any health care workers, teachers or food handlers had to be tested at least once a year, but, quite often twice, and that was up to the middle/late 60s.

    I'm a retired nurse, and have enjoyed your story! Thank you. I like the part where you tell of ghostly noises and sightings of the man in the brown suit. Everywhere I have worked has their own ghost stories to tell of patients who have passed away, or old nurses, administrators, etc. Your program is great and I enjoyed every minute of it.

    There is an old TB sanitorium in Louisville KY, where I grew up, called Waverly Hills. It's very well known, and it's being preserved now, thankfully. It really intrigued me as it has almost the same story as Molly Stark, being first a TB hospital, and then a state-run nursing home, among other things. I've heard the nursing home at Waverly was a terrible place to be. I've been to Waverly a few times, and it is definitely creepy. I would not want to be there at night. I can only imagine Molly Stark is the same way. Wonderful video. Wonderfully written. Fascinating.

    I lived less than 3 miles from Molly Stark Hospital. Most older people said the word in hushed tones. I got my TB and Polio vaccinations there in what would have been at the time the administrative buildings. (circa 1960). A co-worker I had years later, had taken a job there and ended up quitting because of psychic phenomena. Heart breaking to see it now in this condition. The phenomena, was absolutely true. I've seen them myself.

      Another local here. I find the stories for her and for Massillon State Hospital both mesmerizing. Both hospitals were built to be beautiful and both are now in sad repair. I'm not sure what Heartland plans to do with the buildings that remain at Massillon State, but I hope that the park concept that was originally planned and used when it was built can be used again. I like how the statue of the saint was moved to the Cherry Street Catholic Church near 21and is in a shrine there. So much history in Stark County that many of the younger gens don't know about.

Where I grew up in Asheville NC there was a place called Appalachian Hall it has served many purposes first a TB hospital, then during WW11 they sent soldiers to R&R there then it became a psychiatric hospital. It closed in the latec1980's and stood vacant now it is very VERY expensive condos. A date and I went there one night during renovation and we were the only 2 living people there. We saw a shadow person and heard some strange noises. We quickly decided to leave! LOL! But I am glad the building was saved! Patricia Gambino Harrington

Kind of reminds me of a haunted location east of Charleston, IL, called ASHMORE ESTATES. Been there a few times but was unable to get close to building because private property issues but there is a parking lot close enough to the building to get some good exterior photos. On one visit I may have "captured" something pm a photo, but not quite sure.

The only thing that needs to change is, have your music sound down a little bit. It was at times being a bit louder than you while you were talking, which I really hated.

    I really enjoyed this video. It gave lots of information about tuberculosis that I hadn't known such as some of the well-known people and celebrities who died from TB. I worked in a hospital in a non-medical capacity for many years and never saw patients, yet we still had to be skin-tested for TB every year. I've read that there are the super antibiotic-resistant strains of TB out there now that simply can't be cured. That's so frightening. Thanks again for another excellent story and I'll be checking this channel for new content. Please stay safe. 🙂

    My dad had TB. He was in a sanatorium for 1 year in Asheville, NC. 1960. He was always embarrassed about having TB.

      Sorry to hear that Lisa. Nothing to be embarrassed about but there was definitely a stigma then.
