The Peoria State Hospital opened in 1901 in the village of Bartonville in Illinois. The asylum was home for the mentally ill for seventy-two years and it provided state of the art care for the time, but it was also the scene of some very tragic circumstances. Many people died here, both patients and staff. Peoria State Hospital is rumored to be haunted and it very well could be for a number of reasons. Bartonville was once Native American land, many tragedies happened at the hospital and the area where it is located is surrounded by water and limestone. There seems to be many fractured spirits here at the Peoria State Hospital. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Peoria State Hospital.
