State Hospital South Cemetery - Blackfoot ID Real Haunts

The State Hospital South Cemetery in Blackfoot is Idaho's oldest mental institution. It was formerly known as the Idaho Insane Asylum and was home to many horror stories when it first opened over 100 years ago. Its patients were tortured and were buried in unmarked graves and left to decay. Today, the exterior is much cleaner, however there are reports of hauntings within the main building. Many believe the ghosts are those of the tortured souls who once resided at the institution. There have been reports of these ghosts wandering the grounds at night and eerie orbs and noises have been known to come from the cemetery in particular.
