With the recent video of Sam and Colby exploring the Indiana State Sanatorium, I thought I would share my little short I made earlier in the year.
Hidden in the quiet town of Rockville, Indiana, lies the historic Indiana State Sanatorium. Established in 1908 or 1911, this facility was once a beacon of hope for tuberculosis patients. At its peak, it provided cutting-edge care with fresh air therapy and rest, set against a serene natural backdrop.
As medical advancements led to effective treatments for tuberculosis, the need for sanatoriums like this one dwindled. The Indiana State Sanatorium evolved, serving various roles until it was ultimately abandoned.
Today, its haunting beauty attracts historians and paranormal enthusiasts, eager to uncover the stories within its walls. The sanatorium stands as a reminder of the relentless fight against disease and the progress of medical science.
A great place for a family weekend hunt or exploration, where you can experience a bit of thrilling fear together. Actually, it’s really not that bad—at least during the daytime.
