| | | Hello, I am faced with an opportunity of a lifetime. That is to purchase a 5 story abandoned hospital. This is an amazing structure, featuring older sections dating back to the late 1800s and newer sections dating back to the 1940s. This building has 2 elevators, 3 elevator shafts, an extremely creepy basement. On top of all of this, it is the most haunted building in town. The biggest issue is making it work financially. Taxes are $9,000 per year and then there is the purchase price of the building. One of my thoughts is to set it up as an urban explorers club type of thing. Leave it as-is, and for a monthly membership fee, have access to take pictures and explore. On top of this I think individual tours would be profitable too along with a "Haunted House" on halloween. Would there be enough interest in this project to pull this off? Any ideas or thoughts? You can contact me at 1-406-458-7021 Pictures are located here: http://www.elkhorn...e.net/hospital.htm

| | | All these people saying it's a horrible idea because "no one would want to pay to explore and take photos" are wrong... Look at places like Waverly Hills San, which does tours and photographic tours. Or Eastern State Penn which ALSO does tours, ghost hunting, etc. Hell even a guy on UER charges for tours out of Traverse State Hospital. I'm sure you could make it work, but talk to the groups that run those places and see how they've structured themselves financially, how they've advertised, raised money, etc. It wont be easy, and you'll have to put a LOT of capital into making sure it's safe for people to go through (abatement is probably the first thing you need to get done). But it is totally an option, and an exciting one at that.

| Those places are banking on the haunted angle and were known for such before being opened to the public. That's the rub here.
