The second time we had 4 people. we took pictures and also they were orbs. there could be some dust and moisture particles, but there are some we KNOW were orbs. they were mostly outside and in the school but not in bryce. the were green and white. then when we went to the school we heard a wistling again the same one! from the field. 2 ways that i know getting up there. 1. a Church by walmart. we walked that way it was 4 am and we heard a phone ring! it was too loud to be in the building who knows i guess the building that we walked by is hallow, ull see when you walk past. we heard stuff in the bushes. 2nd way is by the church and by another building, its by houses. and the way i guess is the entance of where u would drive in. it was long way and times our flash light went out and flickered

Go over the lurleen wallace bridge into northport and get off at 5th street. Go through downtown northport past kentuck park. Take a right at R Cardinal Airport Rd. Go down and then take a left onto 64th st. after this take your second right and mapquest calls this also by cardinal airportt rd. then it will be on your left down a long driveway. it is the across the street from a small black church. you can not see the actual building from the street. I hope this helps you get there. I have been once with some friends and I did not see any signs of ghosts or hear anything. To me it was an old abandoned building that i worried would fall down. it looks like a place where gangs or satanists would hangout. have fun!

Suicides were high as they were often murders. With this many violent activities while alive naturally they would be restless in death. The entire place should be torn down----much worse than a prison-- people were prisoners of the flesh as well as of the mind.

It was a hospital of some kind many years ago and is associated with Bryce on the UA campus- primarily because they are both owned by the state. There were questions of inhumane practices at the Gemison Building and it was shut down and stands today with heavy watch by local police. At one point the Bryce Hospital on UA campus was the alrgest Federal facility in the nation and was in trouble because the ratio of doctors to patients. That could be a reason "Old Bryce" was used.

It was the first time I had ever been. We drove in the back way (first left past 84 lumber, between the gate and the tree). It drives by the back of the building, the first thing I saw were 2 smoke stacks so I knew we were at the right place. Driving in the back way was very creepy! There are several out buildings that have alot of growth around them, but follow the road and it turns back to the front of the building. We did not go in - to scary at night for me!

I didn't see anything abnormal. I personally think the reason everyone says bryce is haunted is because it is old, abandoned and an old mental institution. We went downstairs and on all the upstair floors, and then on the fire escape. Also to the old school or nursing home. And nothing frightened me.just saying. I would love to see some footage of creepy stuff going on if anyone has any.. Also for anyone who likes "haunted" places, there is a place called maxwells crossing that is supposed to be haunted by confederate soldiers. It is in tuscaloosa.:)

I went there with 2 other friends, i left the front door open in case we wanted to run out without having to stop and open the door, when we walked out we found it had been closed. with just a couple others, its a lot more quiet and a lot more creepy. we were hearing wierd noises the whole time too. OH, and go with only a small maglight and no other flashlight. we forgot a normal size light, dark and creepy.

The building in the back was not and never was a crematory. It was a coal, then later gas fired steam plant that heated the buildings. The large brick openings were coal trays NOT body trays. This is apparent if you take a closer look. One of the coolest parts of the Jemison building is the cafeteria on the rear side. Go to the lower floor and all the way back. The Jemison Building was originally developed as a home for mentally disturbed elderly patients who were at risk of suicide or other abnormal behavior. It was overseen and operated under the Bryce Hospital budget but was never called Bryce. I did extensive research at the Alabama State Archives and found some pretty fascinating things out. As per my research, there is a cemetary located on the north end of the property that contains about 100-120 graves. I've looked for this but only found overgrown "depressions" where graves might have been.

To the person that posted above this post, can you share some of the research you found at the Alabama State Archives? I went to 'Old Bryce' by myself twice over the past week during the daytime and went through all of the buildings. It is a shame that the sites have been vandalized to the point that they are...especially all of the broken windows, mirrors and ceramic. The only place I did not venture down into was the basement. I had a small maglight flashlight which really didn't light up very much. I didn't need a flashlight for most of the floors/buildings. I did notice tons of wasps everywhere and also birds inside the buildings. I touched nothing and the only thing I took with me when I left were photos and memories. Maybe some of the other visitors should do the same...

I work in mental health and have heard stories of Bryce Hospital all my life.  Many of them are unfortunately not legend but truth. I know several people who were raped and assaulted, one gentleman who lost an eye in a fight, and another who was stabbed.  I also know someone (former coworker), who worked at Bryce (Old Bryce, that is, the newer building, but the one that is no longer in use, confusing!).  He was there before the famous Lurleen Wallace visit that turned everything around, and can tell some terrifying stories. More than anything, this building fills me with an overwhelming sense of sadness, thinking of the suffering that happened there.

She died around 1917. She was supposed to have died in child birth. Since her husband was a poor man, he buried her in pauper's grave on the grounds. I am concerned that Bryce will be sold and that the University of Alabama who want to purchase this land will build over her grave or disturb it.

The Web site stated that bones and fragments of caskets were moved. I am concerned that my Grandmother, Ida Gray Hodges, was dug up. This is a continuation of the message above.

I have had this abilityever since I was 3 years old. I can see the non-living sometimes but mainly I scence evil. My brother and some of his friends wanted me to visit Bryce with them 20 years ago, Please folks understand that I am very serious when I say that there is alot of bad things,terrible things occured there in the past around 1895-1950's. There is an evil in the basement that was so strong it made my nose and ears bleed. Please don't be curious enough to go back. If you have been and nothing happened count yourself lucky. I wasn't so lucky and niether were the poor souls trapped in that place by the ones who murdered them! Please stay away from that place!

The knowledge of the evils that took place there, and what people have done to the building is horrible and saddening. I've had a few experiences, that I won't go into too much detail about here, but I do warn everyone to please be on the look-out for homeless people and others who are protective of their 'home' and could possibly cause you harm. I would/won't go without some sort of protection. Mace, etc. However, the second time I went I had a brick thrown at me from the third-story window.. wether that was a person or 'something' else is unknown, but I do know no one in my group did it. It wasn't pleasent, to say the least.   My question now, however, is does anyone know if it is safe to go within the next week or so? Or is it still heavily patrolled by police after halloween? A couple of my friends have yet to go and we wee considering making the trip.

The hospital to the left was still open at that time, approx 2000 or 2001. She spoke with the security there and one of the older gaurds that worked @ Jemison before it was closed gave us a tour during the day on a Friday the 13th. He explained the full history of the building from the construction to the closing. It was very interesting. He told us the hospital was originally used for black patients and then used for children after segragation. The hosptial was built in part as a stimulus in local economy that resulted in a lot of over building. There is once place where a hole is drilled thru the floor and you can see the thickness, TPD thought of using as a jail and were testing the structure. I went 6 or 7 at night, and I really think the day trip was the neatest.

This is referred to as "OLD BRYCE" because it is a building associated with the actual BRYCE on UA's campus. It was used to house the African American patients (male and female on different floors). Yes, horrible things happened there and many people were killed. Haunted? Probably. The Old Boiler House is located behind the building and was used to heat the facility. It was NOT used to cremate people. The trays you see there were used for coal.
