Hospital Colônia de Barbacena – Brazil

 

Hospital Colônia de Barbacena – Brazil

Nearest city: Barbacena, Minas Gerais

 

Colônia Hospital founded in 1903, was once a psychiatric institution which became known as the site of the “The Brazilian Holocaust” after decades of abuse, neglect, and mass death. Over 60,000 patients perished within its walls from starvation, disease, and mistreatment before its closure in the 1980s. Locals claim the cries of former inmates still echo through the crumbling wards, and visitors report shadows moving in the old dormitories and a heavy, oppressive silence near the morgue. Journalists and paranormal investigators describe sudden temperature drops and whispering voices on recordings.
