La Residencia

Now a nursing home, this building at the corner of Palace Avenue and Paseo de Peralta, was once the community hospital serving Santa Fe.

Many years ago, a little boy died in room 311 from injuries suffered in an automobile accident. Unfortunately, the boy’s father also died in the same car wreck. Today the muffled crying of the little boy is heard so often that administrators try to keep the room unoccupied.

Other paranormal occurrences have also happened in the basement. These only began to occur when the state museum began to utilize the basement to store Indian artifacts. Reportedly, strange sounds are often heard in the basement rooms, so often that some nurses refuse to enter the area. On one occasion, two nurses reported seeing a wall in the basement oozing fresh blood.
