The world is more mysterious than most people are comfortable imagining. We cross paths with the mystical from time to time and may not even notice it. If we do, we quickly return to our usually mundane daily existence. But what if we not only acknowledged the unknown, we investigated it and spoke with those in the know?

Are the Grounds of the Danvers State Hospital Haunted?
Is the former Danvers State Hospital in Massachusetts one of the most haunted places in America? Some say yes—and they have the EVPs, apparitions, and ghost stories to prove it.
In this episode of Ghostly, Pat and Rebecca dive into the dark and tragic history of Danvers State Hospital, once known as the “Danvers Lunatic Asylum.” From its controversial treatments and underground tunnels to its eerie connection to the Salem Witch Trials, Danvers has long been shrouded in mystery and fear.
Hear firsthand accounts of ghostly encounters from those who lived on the grounds, including the chilling story of a scowling woman in the attic. Discover the tales of full-bodied apparitions, unexplained screams, and mysterious fires. Was it just the trauma of the patients that left a psychic imprint—or is something more sinister at work?
As always, Pat gives the skeptic’s take, while Rebecca brings in the believer’s view. Then it’s up to you to decide: Is Danvers State Hospital haunted?
Vote now at ghostlypodcast.com/polls and make your voice heard!
Episode Highlights
- History of Danvers State Hospital and its link to the Salem Witch Trials
- Personal ghost stories from former residents
- EVPs captured during investigations
- Theories about the underground tunnels and Kirkbride Plan
