The Royal National Hospital was opened in 1867 to deal with tuberculosis and other chest diseases. Again, the climate of the area was an important factor in its choice of location. The Hospital continued its vital work rehabilitating patients for over a century, until advances in medicine and the decline in these diseases resulted in its closure in 1969.
When the builders in 1969 were told that they were going to be knocking it down, strange things began to happen. The machinary they used broke in unusual ways. So, the builders had to use their hands and other tools. Halfway through, one of the men claimed to have seen a little girl in a night dress, standing with a teddybear in her arms. Then she slowly faded away.
It's now a garden place where you can walk around and that, and there have been more reports of sightings and strange goings on. I myself have been there, and I'm still sure to this day that I saw an outline of a ghost coming towards me.
