A haunted hospital in the pristine environs of Abbott Mount in the Champawat district of Uttarakhand, India is the stuff of spooky stories and films. Local myth has it that a derelict hospital building is haunted. A Dr Morris is said to have done bizarre experiments there and his patients or victims now haunt the place.  It is believed that the Morris Hospital was established in early 1900s. The place has all the ingredients — a haunted hospital, a neglected church and a graveyard — to create curiosity. Villagers tell the tourists about the supernatural forces operating during the night. The ghost stories used to keep people away from the mansion! But, off late, tourists have started invading the spookiest place. Earlier, they used to watch the hospital from a distance, but now visitors enter the premises to make videos and take photographs. The social media publicity has turned Abbott Mount a popular tourist destination with a large number of youth visiting the place on weekends. It has also helped the place break the fear barrier.  More than the hospital, Dr Morris became famous for conducting experiments on his patients suffering from fatal diseases. The Doctor from Abbott Mount established a special ward called ‘Mukti Kothri’ where he used to shift his seriously ill patients. Many say that Morris used to predict even the death of patients. There are many stories about the doctor and hospital of Abbott Mount. English men John Harold Abbott established the hill station in the British era. He wanted a retreat from the tiresome life of the plains. Though this was established during the early part of the 20th century, but it has succeeded in keeping its identity till now. Abbott Mount is a hot spot among picnickers. Now even the Kumoan Mandal Vikas Nigam, a unit of Uttarakhand government, has recognised the tourism potential of the area and has established a guest house there.  sources: https://www.thestatesman.com/travel/abbott-mount-social-media-bringing-footfalls-haunted-mansion-british-era-1502564709.html https://www.ichowk.in/society/experience-of-a-writer-in-mount-abbott-the-most-haunted-place-of-india/story/1/5282.html https://uttarakhandtourism.gov.in/the-haunted-hospital-of-abbott-mount-in-uttarakhand/ https://vagabondimages.in/2018/08/12/whispering-winds-hovering-clouds-and-a-ghost-which-wasnt-there/ http://ohthatbuzz.com/story-of-mount-abbott-lohaghat-indias-most-haunted-places-to-see/ https://www.patrika.com/miscellenous-india/indias-most-haunted-place-lohaghat-uttarakhand-2490810/ https://lithub.com/tigers-dont-eat-humans-so-why-did-this-one-kill-over-400-people/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/abhishek-tiwari007/message
