Haunted, Abandoned Military Hospital on Corregidor Island

Corregidor Island Hospital

Corregidor Island exists just off the coast of Manila in the Philippines. It is a place of great historical significance, mostly related to WWII. The island was a strategic port that allowed those who held it to rule over Manila and thus the entire country. For that reason, it was a highly sought after base during the war and was seized by both the US and Japanese militaries at varying times.

Many battles were fought on the island and air raids saw countless bombs dropped across Corregidor. Huge amounts of death were experienced and the many structures scattered across the island’s lands were destroyed or sustained tremendous amounts of damage. One of these buildings, which today is left in tatters, is the island’s old hospital.

The Corregidor Hospital was built in 1912 with the purpose of housing medical staff for the treatment of wounded soldiers. The island’s history ensured that this was a busy destination on Corregidor and one that saw many soldiers treated within its walls. Unfortunately, the building was also a destination where many drew their final breaths.

One of the most common reports of activity to occur is of the auditory kind. Cries and screams of pain, assumed to be from past soldiers, are said to echo through the empty, crumbling walls of the hospital. In addition to these sounds of pain and anguish, many have even claimed to hear disembodied footsteps and the normal hustle and bustle of a functional hospital continuing to operate.
