    Seaside Center, like so many other large expensive to run facilities was closed due to the cost and nothing more. The smaller group home type residences have since taken it's place. It's not haunted, just an old building that we should revitalize rather than building new ones....

      It's not likely to happen, it's state owned property and it would be too much of a liability. A vagrant took residence there several years and was found dead after falling through two floors. Not a good place to explore unless you enjoy either a stay the crowbar hotel or you have a death wish.
