Hauntings

The Ghosts of Ravenspark Hospital, Irvine

Ravenspark, Irvine

Undated reports

The stories come from two lists of Ayrshire ghosts, the local family history society and a regional newspaper series, neither of which names a witness. The site was a place of long-term care for poor and mentally ill people, and hauntings attached to such places often reflect their bleak reputations. The reports are treated here as local legend and nothing more, and no claims are made about any real patient. The coordinates are those of the Ravenspark area.
