Originally opened as the New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum at Morris Plains in 1877, the 1,000-acre property once held more than 7,000 patients and has been known as one of the most haunted places in the state for quite a while. The alleged torture, maltreatment, and abuse inflicted upon former patients has been avenged via countless ghostly apparition sightings (including that of a young girl in a pink dress), a greenish light for which the source could not be identified, and all kinds of other eerie occurrences that have repeatedly made visitors’ skin crawl. The hospital even inspired a 2012 horror film, Greystone Park. After existing for almost 140 years, the hospital was demolished late last year, and a new facility has been built on the property. However, as any good ghost hunter knows (and some have already confirmed), this won’t get rid of any of the entities within.
