My Great Grandmother owned a house in Port Townsend, WA that was a hospital in WWII. Dark rooms, surgery, the whole works...
415 Harrison Street was built in 1871.
I spent quite a few of my kid years there with my great Grandmother, and I can say.. yes, yes indeedy. We've seen and heard things there. Like the crying babies...
The house was sold in 1998 to a couple who had planned on restoring it to it's original form, or much like it.
A couple months ago, my GF and I went to PT. We drove by, and I decided to stop because the couple was outside. They were very happy to see us, too.. told us that MANY of the people who had a connection with the house had been by... like the last nurse when it was a hospital, her daughter took her there for Mother's Day a few years ago...
The house has a helluva history. I was suprised to see some of my great Grams old furniture there, too.. like the old wind organ.
After a while of talking to the couple and being shown some of the renovations, I asked about the "goings on" in the house.
They didn't want to talk about it.
When I called my aunt later that day to tell her we'd been there, the first thing she asked was if they said anything about the crying babies.
