The Kempton Park Hospital ~ A Haunting Story

What happens to a collection of bricks and mortar once it ceases to fulfill its purpose, and begins the slow slide into obscurity? This group devotes itself to the legends surrounding a derelict South African hospital that closed down a little over thirteen years ago. Threads on the discussion board include 'Kempton Hospital Born's', 'The last ever patient?', 'who's the little girl and who's the man that jumped...cuz we saw them', 'GHOSTS' and 'Who knows people that worked there?', to name but a few. The topic 'unqualified doctor' concerns the fake Dr Andre Esterhuisen that once wandered its corridors. Although the premises are guarded at state expense, various group members boast of having made illicit nightly expeditions there and some others post their intentions in wall posts. Some photographic evidence of these trips have made its way to the gallery.

What's great about this group: It gives an intriguing glimpse into the past and legend surrounding an institution.

Update (16 April 2024)
There is a private group Kempton Park Hospital ghosthunt (founded June 2009) which most like is the same group.
