Wildwood Sanitarium – USA

Nearest city: Salamanca, New York

Opened in 1906 as a holistic healing center, Wildwood Sanitarium treated tuberculosis and nervous disorders before becoming a private residence and later a boarding house. Its history of illness and loss left a heavy mark—visitors report full-bodied apparitions, children’s laughter echoing through empty halls, and shadow figures crossing the upper staircase. The spirit of Dr. Henderson, one of the original practitioners, is often sensed pacing the examination rooms, while séance sessions have captured whispers mentioning “the cure” and “the lungs.” Investigated by Paranormal Lockdown and Destination Fear, the building remains active enough that its owners now run controlled overnight ghost hunts documenting near-constant EMF spikes.
