Glenn Dale Hospital

[Undertaker]

Near my home town is the old abandoned Glenn Dale Sanitarium. Back in the 1930s and 40s, the hospital was a sanitarium for the treatment of tuberculousis. After TB was pretty much disappearing, the hospital tehn became a hospital to treat the criminally Insane. The hospital then closed in the 1970s. The hospital is listed in the Wierd Maryland Book and other sources. Unfortunately, it is off limits to everyone and is heavily guarded. Many however have sneeked in and explored this great site. The buildings are large, big and deteriating fast. Loaded with asbestos, it is dangerous to be around the stuff! Believed to be haunted with lots of long dark catacombs, hallways, rooms with old operating tables and a morgue! At one time some rooms still had hanging prostetics hanging up. Much graffiti and evidence of Demon worship and other activities. As a fireman, I have been to this facility for a building fire. But would love to explore this place if it were possible.

The Glenn Dale hospital is located in Glenn Dale, Maryland in Prince George's County Maryland. A suburb of Washington, DC! This place is well documented on the internet and thier is or was a neat Youtube on it!

Sounds good. I'll do some reading online about it.

I once got into an abandoned old mental hospital near where I live here in South West England with some friends. It was opened in 1933. I wrote about it on here a few weeks ago. It was really eerie. It's supposed to be haunted too.

If it's been closed for such a long time, why is it still guarded and off limits? Is this a Thackery Binx situation?

Its owned by Washington DC, But the facility is in Maryland. Its guarded because DC doesnt know what to do with it and the buildings are crumbling dangerous and asbestos bound. I guess it is a liability if people come visiting? But many do sneek in! That is all I know about it???

What size building is it? Do you happen to know if it's a Kirkbride or not?

[Pumpkin56]

Totally a Thackery Binx situation

That sounds like it would be fun 'haunted road trip.'
Where is Glendale?

If I don't try to get inside, it shouldn't be a problem. As for where it's located, that's going to have to wait until I have more money to travel by.
