Connecticut State Hospital
By Kate Frank | Category: Abandoned, Damned InvestigationsGetting inside the abandoned sections of this mental hospital is said to be pretty difficult (though I’m pretty sure I could get myself admitted without too much trouble!). Lucky for me, I ran into a bored and amicable State Trooper who let me inside. He then directed me to a cemetery of unmarked graves. I hear the cemetery is haunted. Investigation to come!
Also known as the Connecticut Asylum for the Insane, Connecticut Valley Hospital.

If you want truly damned, then check out the Riverview Children’s Hospital behind CVH. Basically a warehouse for kids who the teachers of CT have given up teaching, counselors of CT have not even tried to counsel, and parents who can’t parent. Preparatory area and launch pad for the next crop at places like Long Lane and eventually Somers… or middle management at some of the state’s least exciting businesses.
The building looks so old, but I’m sure there’s so much history tied to it though. Can anyone please tell me where Connecticut State Hospital is located? Or any information regarding it’s history or when or why it was closed? It would be greatly appreciated!
I love the pictures by the way, I don’t know what it is, but that building just catches me.
The hospital is located on silver st in middletown CT
I would love to go there and take pictures. Do you know who to contact and ask for permission?
Caitlin, I hate to break it to you but this is state property, with strict no trespassing policies. I live only a couple miles from this location. The buildings are also set to be torn down, but there has been a lot of speculation when that actually will occur. To clarify some of the history on this location it used to be a correctional facility for females, and was a mental asylum. There are rumors of a lot of trouble that took place, but the state decided to close it not because of hauntings but rather becacuse they wanted to consolidate all mental facilities. They did just that and now all the former facilities are merged into Middletown, CT. If you are going to try and visit there is a vacant lot not far from the Weslyan Campus facilities but I have not entered the buildings so I wouldn’t know where to go. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
actually the ct state hospital is located on the norwich/preston border heading towards groton, and the highway near mohegan sun
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH THE HOSPITAL ON SILVER ST IS VERY HAUNTED IT IS WERE SOME OF THE FIRST LABODAMYS FIRST HAPPENED I KNOW SPELLING SUCKS BUT OH WELL YOU GET THE IDEAR!!!!! AND THERE ARE MANY STATE HOSPITALS BY THE WAY IN CT.
Mike, yes there are several throughout the state but the one used for this, and the name of the location is actually currently Connecticut Valley Hospital, it is literally right off of Rt. 9. Just so everyone knows though this location is heavily guarded due to the recent explosion at the Kleen Energy Plant.
The hospital on the Norwich / Preston line is called Norwich State Hospital not Connecticut State Hospital. There were a lot of mental facilities in the state up until the mid 90′s and the majority of them are since shut down. Norwich State being one of them. There are also many many institutions across the country that have all been claimed to be the first to perform a lobotomy. Nothing has even been proven as to which one was.
I’ve been there myself. There is definatly a presence of something.
Hello guys, I was wondering if someone could give me information on how to contact the owners of this.
Thanks,
