My wife and I were walking along the wall between one of the blockhouses facing the presbyterian church we hear two times a voice that said "help me." It was a high pitched voice and when we looked there was no one on the other side of the wall. It is a steep drop and could see no children or teen that could have gotten away that quickly. Strange.

My experience happened in the bathhouse. Cold spots on a hot summer day, and a moment of not being able to move. A feeling that I should have not been in the building. The hospital was an interesting building, it felt like as if it was still being used as a hospital.
