Location:

The old Saint Mary Louise Hospital Building is down the hill from town and is the only large building in the area near the lower part of the town's cemetery. It is clearly visible from the town and the Virginia City cemetery. You really can't miss it, and it's at the end of a street.

Manifestations:

The old Saint Mary Louise Hospital Building - has several supernatural occurrences. Several involve "The White Nun"- This Nun, when alive, was in charge of the hospital operating room, and died under suspicious / mysterious conditions, sometime in the 1880's.

A) In recent years, this White Nun has been seen floating down the former infirmary's hallways, inspecting the rooms, and can be seen looking intently out a second floor window, maybe looking for the next wagon load of hurt minors or sick children.

B) Sometimes, usually late at night, the White Nun has been spotted on the bottom step of the front staircase of this same building. At the top of this staircase, one also sees at the same time, a little boy with iron braces on his legs, who is visibly scared of falling down these steps. The Nun immediately responds to the scared child, and hurries back up the stairs to comfort this polio-stricken boy, and looks around plaintively for someone to help them.

C) Sometimes, on occasion, people have seen the silent, ghostly reenactment of the horse-drawn hearse, drawing up to a far, out of the way door of the hospital building, to collect and carry away the corpses of the dead. The coach sways, and the horses snort, but no sound is heard.
