San Juan de Dios Hospital

Santa Ana · El Salvador · Hospital

In the hospital's burned-out old wing, once used as a morgue, a nun who took her own life still walks at night.

The San Juan de Dios hospital in Santa Ana is among El Salvador's oldest medical institutions, founded in colonial times and marked by epidemics, earthquakes and a devastating fire. In the fire-scarred section of the building, long used as a morgue, staff tell of a nun said to have hanged herself there, who has appeared at night ever since. Night staff and patients speak of footsteps in empty corridors, weeping, and the sense of being watched in the oldest wards. The stories have made the hospital a fixture whenever Salvadorans list the country's most haunted places.
