Milligville Ga 

Hospitals, especially those devoted to caring (or not so much) for the mentally ill, tend to be magnets for ghost stories and legends. Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, opened initially as the State Lunatic, Idiot and Epileptic Asylum, was, at its height, the second largest such institution in the nation after New York’s Pilgrim State Hospital. The numerous buildings remaining on the hospital campus attest to the huge numbers of patients that resided in this facility, but they also attest to the severe drop in the same numbers since the 1960s.
Many of these buildings have been abandoned and closed, though intrepid and thrill-seeking teenagers have broken in to “ghost hunt.” Jim Miles’ Weird Georgia publishes reports from a few of these teens who saw apparitions and numerous footprints in the fallen plaster dust (the account describes it as “sawdust”) on the floor.
