🏥 Built in 1883 to serve Chicago's growing North Side, Grant Hospital expanded from just 13 beds to nearly 300 before closing in 2008.

Today, the former hospital has been redeveloped into apartments, but its ghost stories continue to linger.

Legend says the spirit of a little boy who died during the 1867 cholera epidemic still roams the third floor, while the ghost of a World War I soldier has also been spotted.
