Kingseat Hospital, 1932 - former psychiatric hospital, haunted locations, Karaka

Question

Kingseat Hospital, a former psychiatric facility in New Zealand, has gained a reputation as one of the most haunted locations in the country.

As of 2011, there have been over a hundred reports of apparitions within its walls.

The hospital was established in 1932 and, during its operation, it witnessed a higher number of staff deaths than patient fatalities, likely attributable to the increased emotional and mental strain on the workers. Additionally, the grounds witnessed a significant number of suicides. Visitors have reported sightings of a nurse, commonly referred to as the "Grey Lady," who is said to roam the corridors of the hospital to this day.

Located in Karaka, south of Auckland, Kingseat Hospital has been the site of three popular attractions in New Zealand since 2005. Among them is Spookers, which is believed to be the only scream park of its kind in Australasia as of 2011 and has been dubbed the "number 1 Haunted Attraction in the Southern Hemisphere."

Despite its transformation into an entertainment hub, Kingseat Hospital is still widely regarded as one of New Zealand's most haunted locations, as reported by stuff.co.nz.
