Old Northwest General

[JJrakman]

I'm looking for more historical data on this place and also any more haunting accounts. This is the only thing I could find online.

Milwaukee - Old Northwest General Hospital - A former worker reports On the top floor there were dozens of times that voices could be heard, women crying, ceiling tiles moved about. There was no one in the ceiling, no place to go. Often we could hear dogs barking inside the building. A security guard quit after seeing a person running and then disappearing into a wall. A doctor was murdered by his jealous wife in that area. Also, the top floor of the facility performed abortions on young un-married women. Also the ICU was on that floor. Footsteps could be heard on the main floor when they where the only one in the building, and voices from behind closed doors in the old emergency room.

It is located at 5310 W. Capitol Dr.

Any additional information anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.

Now this would be cool to do, Jaeson. (BTW...nice to see you here). I always have free time at work, so if you want I can help you out with that.

I found a site that listed at least some type of information. Stated that it was opened in October 1965 with a 154-patient capacity back in the day. So that's a start.

Also found this site with some specs on the type of personnel it had:
