Looking to Get Spooked Out? Check out the Undercliff Sanatorium in Meriden

It’s that time of year again; time to get creepy and explore haunted places.

Look no further than the Undercliff Sanatorium. The name in itself suggest a certain creepiness aspect to the place.

The sanatorium formerly served as a hospital treating children with tuberculosis, according to Damned Connecticut. In 1956, the facility began accepting patients with mental disabilities and remained functioning till 1976.

With the number of people who have died on the property, there have been several sightings of ghosts. People have allegedly heard the voices of children at the property laughing and crying.

Unfortunately as it is state property the sanatorium is off limits to the general public, which in this case might be a good thing. Not to worry, there are plenty of other, slightly less spooky spots in Connecticut you can check out.

The state has an abundance of haunted places and is also the home of Lorraine and the late Ed Warren, famous demonologists. The Warrens have worked on hauntings that have inspired the films Annabelle, The Conjuring, Amityville Horrorand many more. Lorraine continues to lecture with her son-in-law.
