Las Fantasmas de Santorio Carlos Duran

Cartago, Costa Rica

Named after its founder, Dr. Duran, the old tuberculosis hospital built in 1915 is thought to be among the most haunted buildings in Costa Rica. Back in the days when it was a hospital, it had become home to tuberculosis patients, lepers, and the mentally insane, among others.

The building is abandoned now and under constant guard—during the day that is. There are not too many people who would willingly subject themselves to the haunted complex in the evening hours.

Stories prevail of the inhumane treatment of patients, who found themselves imprisoned in the facility. Perhaps their torment and suffering continues today, because numerous ghostly apparitions have been sighted. The echoes of voices have often been heard. And coins have mysteriously appeared out of thin air, thrown from what were previously patients’ rooms. One repeatedly encountered specter is that of a nun. Many visitors to Santorio Carlos Duran have witnessed her presence. In fact, it’s been said that one time a journalist doing an article on the old hospital spotted the nun upon her arrival and began interviewing her. Later, when she was discussing the interview she’d had with the old nun, the journalist was informed that the nun she had been interviewing was no longer among the living.
