I'm pretty creeped out reading these things but not surprised. I think I remember hearing about a face in a window too many years ago but so may stories of hauntings in Baytown over the years, no telling whats true or whats made up. Creepy stuff though. Does anyone know what floor the babies were born on? Or maybe a list of staff? Just curious.

It used to be a beautiful building that, from the backside, overlooked a nice field, bayou and a park. Now it's nothing more than an eyesore and, in my opinion, is too far gone for a rescue attempt. As one person mentioned earlier, it is an attraction to the homeless (in Baytown about 98% of them are crack/meth-heads). The druggies bring along with them more crime and filth that has already been taking over what used to be a nice town. This hospital is nothing more than a great memorial, representing all of the decent people who have been forced to move out of the used-to-be-nice neighborhoods so they could live somewhere that isn't overrun with crime and dope-fiends asking for money. The hospital should be demolished. Bottom line. Building a satellite police station there would be a great start to eliminating the cancer that is overtaking Baytown. Also, I noticed yesterday (9-23-13) that someone boarded up all of the Windows. Someone commented that the grass had been cut, possibly for construction. Sorry, no construction. There's a guy that cuts it about every week or so. I guess a manicured lawn is supposed to distract us from the filth and ruins towering over or neighborhoods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304841.post-12605721040232094782013-04-04T09:38:34.688-05:002013-04-04T09:38:34.688-05:00Was born there Halloween night 1959.

I myself was born in this hospital back in 1974 and unfornately have my birth certificate to show for. I as a performer and entertainer have sang and entertained for the hospice patients many of times. I did this because I felt it was a healing,and caring thing to do for the patients and family members to enjoy while they coped with there last moments on this earth. I used to work as well in this hospital, later on went on to be a receiving clerk for materials mgmt. I can't really say who is at blame for letting such a remarkable historical place as this hospital is and was run so far into the ground.
