Yorktown, Texas
One of Texas’ most legendary haunted sites is stepping back into the spotlight. The long-abandoned Yorktown Memorial Hospital—a grim, echoing labyrinth rumored to be home to violent spirits—has been officially purchased by San Antonio’s paranormal research group Curious Twins Tours. Their announcement includes plans for ghost hunts, overnight investigations, and filmed events within the hospital’s decaying halls.
A Hospital Built for Healing… That Became a Haven for Hauntings
Constructed in the 1950s and operated by the Felician Sisters, Yorktown Memorial Hospital served the small Texas community for decades before shutting down in 1986. Since then, its peeling walls, collapsed ceilings, and unlit corridors have drawn national attention for an entirely different reason: the dead never seemed to leave.
Over the years, ghost hunters have reported shadow figures rushing down hallways, disembodied growls, and unseen hands tugging at clothing. The hospital’s chapel—once a sanctuary—has a reputation for sudden cold spots and whispered warnings that seem to come from the pews themselves.
Some investigators claim the most active area is the former ICU, where voices have been recorded answering direct questions. Others point to the basement, where equipment has been thrown, batteries drain instantly, and visitors report an overwhelming sense of being watched.
A New Chapter for a Notorious Landmark
Curious Twins Tours says their goal is preservation, not provocation. With controlled access, structural monitoring, and guided sessions, they hope to offer safe encounters with one of the nation’s most intense paranormal hotspots. According to their announcement, future events will include:
- Night-long paranormal investigations
- Small-group tours with historical context
- Filming opportunities for documentaries and paranormal shows
- Restoration efforts to stabilize the most damaged sections
The group emphasized respect for the hospital’s history and the people who once lived—and died—within its walls. But as paranormal teams prepare to enter the building again, many wonder what has been waiting in the dark all these years… and whether the spirits welcome company.
