Manteno State Hospital

Manteno

Asylum / Hospital High Activity

History & Paranormal Activity

A 1930 psychiatric hospital on the Illinois prairie that became infamous for a 1939 typhoid outbreak that killed 400 patients — spread through contaminated water and ignored for weeks. The abandoned buildings produce consistent EVPs, shadow figures in the wards, and a cholera ghost that appears near the old water tower.

🔒 Classified Field Investigation Notes

The institutional records covering the typhoid response were removed from state archives during a 1942 administrative review — the removal order is on file but the records have never been located.
