Kings Park Psychiatric Center - Building 15 - Wisteria House

A Brief History: Located at 5 Kings Park Boulevard in Kings Park New York, Building 15 also known as Wisteria House was built in 1939. Many had believed that this building was used to house the criminally insane and all manner of dangerous and violent patients, but there is no factual basis on this. There may have been violent patients here for a very short period of time ( a few months) until building 21 and 22 was completed. The interior of the building is laid out to appear as more of a drug rehabilitation center, with large rooms broken up with half wall dividers for privacy of patients that stayed there. So it is unlikely violent patients were kept here. The building was closed down in 1990’s and has sat abandoned since and has been subjected to vandalism and graffiti.


Haunted History: There have been many claims that surround Building 15; one claim is that of strange noises being heard throughout the building. Some claim to have heard screams and voices coming from the halls of Wisteria House. People that have entered the building said to have had a feeling of being watched, also feelings of uneasy, dizziness and an overwhelming feeling of terror.
