It was used as the hospital for employees of the Santa Fe Railroad, later used by a medical collective and then pretty much vacant and abandoned to be used as a filming location.

It has hallways, patient rooms, O.R rooms, morgue, etc. I've spent many hours there filming, many times past midnight. We even shot a Schwarznegger film "End Of Days" there where we crucified a "Priest" and dangled him from the ceiling, blood dripping down onto his bed.

Anyway, I'm channel surfing and they had one of those "Ghost Hunter" shows on and were doing a 2 hour special on this place. They had the usual "ectoplasm detector" and the tape recorder with the garbled "Get out!", you know, the normal crap.

Point is, I've spent easily over 500 hrs there at all hours, wandering the halls and hadn't felt nary a cool breeze much less some shadowy figure darting through the halls. Maybe there are ghosts but there sure as Hell aren't any in that joint.

They're more scared of you than you are of them.

I haven't spent that much time in anyplace that's old or seems likely to have ghosts, but what the hell, I'm nearly 50 and I've been around. Yep, I must be scary to ghosts as well. It makes me a little sad.
