Abandoned Kuhn memorial state hospital and haunted looking state mental hospital located in Vicksburg Mississippi. Old brick building. The site is known to have paranormal activity. Kuhn State Hospital started life as Vicksburg's City Hospital back in 1832, in response to a smallpox outbreak. It took its place at this location, then a suburban estate with 'a substantial house' in 1847. Run by Dr. George K. Birchett, and later his son, grandson, and great-grandson, the hospital served wounded during the Civil War and suffered the deaths of 16 doctors and 6 Catholic Sisters of Mercy during the Yellow Fever of 1878.
