Eloise Mental Hospital
Westland, MI
August 8, 2003
Eloise is an abandoned mental hospital. It is said to be very haunted. No one can seem to get permission to investigate inside anymore. One of the buildings is now being used, and we were asked to leave the parking lot by a security guard. We said we were just taking pictures and he said we weren't the first. It was raining that night so I am not sure it what was caught in these picture could be effects from the rain. Links are added to this page to check out more info on Eloise.
In the town of Wayne, MI (suburb of Detroit) there is a building presently called The Kay Beard Center, operated by Wayne County Social Services. This building had served as a mental asylum for women since the 1930's, known as "Eloise Hospital" up until the 1990's. They currently use only the bottom floor as a day care center and various administrative offices.
Employees have reported strange ocurrances here - unknown people walking about on the upper floors, talking, screaming. These reported
incidents had recently aroused the curiousity of a local TV station here in Detroit, WXYZ channel 7. They sent a camera crew along with
investigators in the paranormal to see if they had a story. They were not disappointed.
In addition to many eyewitness accounts, the paranormal investigators shot dozens of polaroid photographs as the tour was being
conducted. Most photos revealed these little "orbs" floating around all over the place. They then interviewed a photography expert to attempt to explain these orbs. After xamination, his conclusion was that the orbs appearing in the photos were not of external origin but rather objects present at the time of the photo. But perhaps the most compelling part
of this expose was the actual news footage shot out of one of the windows towards an adjascent wing of the building (closed). One can clearly see the face of a woman staring back from one of the upper floor windows
