History & local legend
Harrisburg State Hospital opened in 1851 and closed as a hospital in 2006. Its large campus subsequently included office space, and one of the more specific accounts of unusual activity comes from someone working in an office there rather than from a hospital ward.
Researcher John G. Sabol described the experience in his book Haunting Archaeologies, quoted by Harrisburg Magazine in October 2018. While he was working, the volume on his MP3 player would increase without him touching the controls. He said he could see the device’s blue indicator illuminate at the same time, just as it did when the volume setting was changed manually.
