This creepy, and allegedly haunted old tuberculosis hospital on Evansville's West Side opened in 1908.  At that time in the Evansville area cases of TB were high TB.  Open air tents for TB patients opens in 1915 and remained open until 1965.  Soon after the Anti-Tuberculosis Society organized in 1907 in response to an epidemic. A privately-funded tent colony was established on a farm on the city´s west side. Patients seeking a cure were sent to the colony for rest in the fresh air and sun. Soon the camp was recognized as one of the top notch treatment centers in the country.

After 1924, the county operated the facility, which was renamed the Boehne Tuberculosis Hospital, in honor of John W. Boehne, a former Evansville mayor and U. S. Congressman.. The hospital closed as a tuberculosis treatment center in the 1960s.. In  1970 became alcohol rehab center. In  1972 administrators renovated 30 bed and renamed Gilliam Hall, purchased in 1977 with intention of becoming a dorm for USI instead tried to a assisted living home never reopened sat vacant

Main hospital building was razed c2000. In 2012 the old admin building was renovated as upscale apartments

I know a few that have been in the hospital before 2000m and they're not hauntings at this location it is nevertheless creepy.
