Northern State Mental Hospital

Today we are going to dig into the dark, moss-covered history of Northern State Hospital, once one of Washington State’s largest and most self-sustaining psychiatric asylums. Built in 1912 and shuttered in the 1970s, its sprawling campus still holds decaying farm buildings, underground tunnels, and a forgotten cemetery marked only by numbers. With rumors of experimental treatments, patient abuse, and mass unmarked graves, it’s no wonder ghost sightings, disembodied screams, and shadow figures are frequently reported by urban explorers and local residents. Join us for this spooky tale!
