Pictures We Took of the Old Haunted Davis Hospital in Statesville, North Carolina ~ 5-12-13
This is a look at the old haunted Davis Hospital on 5-12-13. This is by far one of the most haunted places we have been yet. Here is some photos I took from our second visit there on 5-12-13. We went during the day time and in parts of this hospital it is so black you can not see anything. We carried flashlights with us. While we was there one of our flashlights that had lithium batteries died. Also had to replace batteries in camera several times. As soon as we enter the hospital you can feel the heavy feeling of dread, sadness, and the feeling that we were being watched. We thought we heard voices a few times and couldn't find the source. I had walked into the basement from the outside and was standing there looking at an old baby crib when I heard 2 men talking. It sounded like they were within 10 feet of me. I got scared and hid kinda behind the basement door peeking out and not seeing anyone at all. Then I thought about what the 2 men had been talking to each other about. There was 2 different voices I heard too. One man said Maybe the fuses need to be changed then the other man said in a different voice I have already change those fuses. It's 2013 we don't even use fuses now a days. As I looked around I seen old fuse boxes in there too. In most of the pictures I took in there I caught 2 orbs in them. I also want to say we wasn't walking around stirring up dust either. In some rooms we didn't even go into and I caught several orbs and even images that looked like people. In one it looked like a woman holding a baby. We both saw a dark shadow pass by a doorway on the 1st floor. Those ghost men probably laughed at me hiding behind the door. But it was an awesome experience. This is a look inside the hospital.
Here's some history on the hospital.
In 1920, Dr. James Davis realized his boyhood dream with the opening of Carpenter-Davis Hospital. Located on South Center Street, the hospital was a result of an arrangement between Dr. Davis, a prominent surgeon, and Dr. F. A. Carpenter, an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist. . With the opening of the 35-bed Carpenter-Davis Hospital, Dr. Davis changed this by establishing a group arrangement with assistants, nurses, technicians, and associate doctors.
In the hospital's second year of operation Dr. Carpenter died, leaving Dr. Davis to operate the hospital. While continuing to run the hospital, Dr. Davis began searching for land for a new hospital. He chose a cow pasture near the Wagner homestead on West End Avenue, his grandmother's home. This site would later become the home of his 250-bed hospital. On December 17, 1925, Davis Hospital moved from its South Center Street location to a handsome, new building on West End Avenue. An article appearing in the local paper. In a Statesville paper written by Dr. Davis, he cited some of the firsts that he and his hospital were responsible for, such as:
• One of the first hospitals in North Carolina to use a radiographoscope to view x-ray films. (Radiographoscope was invented by a North Carolina physician).
• One of the very first Emergency Departments in North Carolina to be open and staffed by a physician 24 hours a day, seven days a week - not unusual today, but a significant accomplishment in the 1920s.
• One of the first hospitals in North Carolina and one of the first in the United States to install air conditioning in the operating rooms. Utilizing air conditioning is a standard practice today, but not in the early years of healthcare.
• One of the first hospitals in the United States to use glucose intravenously.
• An early organizer of blood-donor services and had a blood bank very early in its history.
Throughout the years, Dr. Davis continued his quest of excellence in healthcare with the addition of a maternity wing, more patient rooms, and expanded surgical facilities. Unfortunately the largest and most significant addition of a diagnostic clinic was completed in September 1955, just three months after his death. Dr. Davis was credited with performing over 75,000 surgical procedures, a truly remarkable accomplishment. Announcement of his death brought countless telegrams, letters, and telephone messages of sympathy from many Republican and Democratic party leaders, doctors across the nation, and also from the American Medical Association. Dr. Davis was praised as a visionary who gave his whole life for the advancement of medical science. Abiding by his wishes, Dr. Davis was buried in an unpretentious tomb on the south lawn of the West End Avenue hospital. (Upon sale of the West End Avenue property, Dr. Davis' tomb was later moved to Davis Memorial Baptist Church in Wilkes County.) Davis Hospital continued to operate from the West End location until 1981. Over time 17 additions were made. On March 24, 1984, Davis moved 58 patients from the West End location to their new hospital on Old Mocksville Road. It was completely empty by 1985.
Upstairs at the Biltmore House
The top floor of the Biltmore House, George Vanderbilt's fabulous mansion in Asheville, served three purposes: an Observatory overlooking the sweeping Appalachian landscape and adjacent outdoor balconies; the Architectural Model Room housing Richard Morris Hunt's 1889 architectural model of Biltmore House and the female servants' quarters. Get a behind-the-scenes tour of these recently opened rooms which provide an interesting contrast to the more opulent public rooms on the lower floors.

Currently owned by the aforementioned Country Club, and built for Margaret Vanderbilt Shepard, this Briarcliff Manor, New York dwelling has plenty to offer. Inside the huge Georgian Revival façade lay 16 bathrooms, with 65 rooms all tucked into 3 main stories.

The first is that the house is being made of an insulated concrete form with a few proprietary materials like the University of Michigan developed Helix steel fiber.

Another New York Manor to make an appearance on the biggest homes list. Indian Neck of Oakdale, New York was created for Frederick Gilbert Bourne in 1908 and now belongs to St. John’s University under the name Indian Neck Hall. Made for the man who worked as the president of the Singer Sewing Company, often cited as the first big international corporation and the first to install a company wide installment payment plan that has become the standard for telesales.
7. Florham
If it’s Baroque (particularly English Baroque), don’t fix it. Another Vanderbilt estate found and found in Madison, New Jersey, Florham’s 110 rooms take up 80,000 square feet. Another McKim, Mead and White creation, the façade of this building simply exhudes a grand aura, and the inside includes multiple renaissance fireplaces and a ballroom after the Louis XV style.
6. Meadow Brook Hall

5. Shadow Lawn
Making it halfway to our list of the biggest houses in America is Shadow Lawn, located in West Long Branch, New Jersey.

4. Winterthur
Library, the former home of Henry Francis du Pont is now one of the largest lands registered as a U.S. Historic place in Delaware.

Currently, 175 rooms of the 96,582 square foot house are open to public viewing
3. Arden House
Making to the 3rd spot on the largest homes in America, the Arden or Edward Henry Harriman estate is a whopping 97,188 square feet on 450 acres, which at the Harriman’s height of prominence was extended to 40,000 acres. A former railroad head, Harriman and his wife Mary centered their house in Harriman (who would have guessed?) near Newburgh, New York.
2.The Biltmore House
Topping off our list of the top 10 biggest houses in America is yet another Vanderbilt house, this time in Asheville, North Carolina. Developed by Richard Morris Hunt, this house at 135,280 square feet is about as big as you can get.

These include four floors, a Bachelor’s Wing (Billiard and game rooms)
1.Oheka Castle
Runner up to the largest home in the United States is the appropriately named Oheka Castle. Built in Huntington, New York and ranking in at a jaw dropping 109,000 square feet, Oheka has been the home to many a stately event. Built for the German investment banker Otto Hermann Kahn (from which the name derives), it has been a favorite of many Hollywood directors for a scenic shot or two, being featured everywhere from Citizen Kane to Cruel Intentions and sports over 125 rooms within it.

The Breakers
Within 20 years of the end of the Civil War the United States had emerged from economic ruin and begun its entrance onto the world stage. The 1880s and 1890s saw an explosion of industrialization, discovery, innovation and economic change. Wealth brought social change and the opportunity for the exploration of new themes in American fine and decorative arts and architecture, nowhere better expressed than in Newport, Rhode Island. As this podcast documents, Americans today can revisit this era at the properties of the Preservation Society of Newport County. This podcast is an excerpt from a 48 minute documentary available online at or at any Newport Mansions Store.
