Investigated on
Malvern Manor was built in the late 19th century as a small-town hotel near a railroad station. For over 20 years it thrived, offering travelers a place to rest. As automobiles became more popular business declined. Eventually, the hotel shut down. Later it reopened as a convalescent home, taking in patients with alcoholism, schizophrenia, and other mental illnesses. The facility was poorly managed, and patients suffered from neglect. Stories of abuse spread, hinting at the dark conditions inside. Over the years the manor gained a grim reputation, tied to the suffering of those who lived and died there.
Many claim Malvern Manor is still haunted by its tragic past. Grace, a patient with multiple personalities, is said to be one of its most active spirits. Visitors report hearing her voices, including a deep male one shouting warnings of the devil. Another spirit is a woman obsessed with her looks, seen pulling out her hair in front of a mirror. The darkest presence is an inhuman force, possibly fueled by years of abuse, lurking in the rooms below the attic.
