The most haunted sanitarium

WAVERLY HILL SANATORIUM
I have received so many messages requesting me to make this post. After looking into it, I realized why.
The hospital was always dedicated to the treatment of tuberculosis patients, a disease that was fairly common in the early 20th Century.
It is estimated that as many as 63,000 people died as the sanatorium. Those deaths coupled with the reports of severe mistreatment of patients and highly questionable experiments and procedures are ingredients for a haunted location.
One of the most famous things about is the death tunnel. So many people were dying because of tuberculosis, that this tunnel was used to carry the bodies out without other patients having to see them.
In room 502 (episode feature in ghost hunters), it was said that there was a murder/suicide of a nurse.
Legend says the nurse found out she was pregnant by the owner of the sanatorium without being married and had contracted tuberculosis, so she hanged herself with a light bulb wire outside the room she was in at the time.
Ghost investigators who have ventured into Waverly have reported a host of strange paranormal phenomena, including voices of unknown origin, isolated cold spots and unexplained shadows. Screams have been heard echoing in its now abandoned hallways, and fleeting apparitions have been encountered.

Pulp don’t know much about biology or French
Original post here. Cthulhu alone knows what sort of medium this madness originally appeared in, but the illustration has two captions, the first in French:
Gorille enlevant une femme. La Gorille est un singe de taille gigantesque, habitant les fôrets équatoriales de l’Afrique. Sa taille est haute d’à peu près et
sa force égale à celle de plusiers hommes. Le tableau exposé à vos yeux représente un de ces terribles animaux qui, après avoir attaqué un homme et une femme, sur la lisièrie de la fôret, tue le mari et s’enfuit dans l’intérieur du bois avec la malheureuse femme, et annouie entre ses pattes redoutables.
And another in English.
Gorilla taking a woman away. The gorilla is a monkey of gigantic nature who inhabits the equatorial forests of Africa. His height is that of about six feet and his strength that of several men put together. The picture on exhibition here represents one of those terrible animals whoafter attack a man and his wife, on the outskirt of the forest, killed husband and ray away into the depths of the forest with the woman lying between his dreaded paws senseless.
