Haunted Asylum Magnets
Description: In 1982 the Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital (or 곤지암 정신병원 / Gonjiam Namyang Neuropsychiatric Hospital) was established outside Gyeonggi-do, South Korea by a Mr Hong. The original building was just over 11,000m and spread across three floors. Sometime during the early 1990s, an additional two buildings were added, which increased the size by another 500m. A short time later in July 1996 the hospital closed and was left abandoned and unmaintained for over two decades. Nefarious rumours began to spread about the hospital’s closure and ghost hunters and urban explorers began flocking to the spooky site in droves. Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital quickly gained a reputation as one of the top three haunted buildings in South Korea.
