Consett Steelworks Hospital, located in Consett, County Durham, England, was established in the late 19th century to serve the medical needs of workers at the Consett Iron Company’s steelworks. The hospital operated for nearly a century, providing care for injured workers and local residents until its closure in the 1980s following the shutdown of the steelworks.

The hospital’s history is intertwined with the industrial legacy of Consett, witnessing numerous accidents and deaths related to the hazardous work in the steel industry. This tragic past has given rise to several ghost stories and reports of paranormal activity within the abandoned building.

One of the most frequently reported apparitions is that of a nurse, often seen walking the corridors or standing at the end of beds in what were once patient wards. Witnesses have described her as wearing an old-fashioned uniform and appearing to check on non-existent patients.

Another commonly reported phenomenon is the sound of children laughing and playing, particularly in areas that once housed the pediatric ward. Some visitors have claimed to hear the ghostly sounds of medical equipment, such as heart monitors beeping, in empty rooms.

There have been accounts of a male figure, believed to be a former doctor, seen in the operating theater. Witnesses describe a sense of unease and the feeling of being watched when entering this area.

Some paranormal investigators have reported capturing EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) in various parts of the hospital, with some allegedly containing messages from former patients or staff.

The basement area, which once housed the morgue, is said to be particularly active, with reports of cold spots, unexplained shadows, and feelings of dread experienced by those who venture into this part of the building.
