I spent 6 weeks at san haven when I was 2 years old. I had TB. The year was 1959. I can still remember a lot of my time there. We also have some home movies of the place. Reply...

I took a tour of San Haven while at bible camp in the 60s when patients were still housed there.  Can still hear them from behind steel locked doors, reaching out at you through bars.  Hydrochephalus commonly called water heads back then.  A very disturbing place and I would bet it is somewhat scary to go there alone in the dead of night exploring.  I dont believe in haunting spirits but believe I am only human and could be wrong.

Hey Rey - long time - no I.M. !!!!  thanks for sharing your story about San Haven, I could listen to stories about it all day!  the people that went up there last fall don't have a t.v. show, but the website where I found their info was iamhaunted.com, but the last time I checked the website, the lady who had done the write up about what they saw at San Haven had closed her account.  I started an account with them, just so I could send her P.M.'s and ask her ?'s about San Haven - BUT, evidently there is some fighting amongst the "Ghost Hunter" groups in North Dakota and she thought I was a Ghost Hunter trying to get some tidbits of info and then scoop her on her story - Ha Ha Ha Ha!  I'm not into ghost hunting or the paranormal - just enjoy reading about the history of San Haven and visiting what is left there. You should write some more stories of what you remember from when your Granparents worked there - I would really enjoy them!!  My sister went to San Haven during her time in nurses training and she vivadly remembers the "water head babies" too - she said there were soooooo many of them.  Reply...

The placed closed in 1987 the residents were placed in Grafton. It was a very beautiful place with green pine tree all over. The front of the building where visitors and worked enter....there was round circle kind that flowers blooming right in the middle of it. The grounds and the building and that time were very well kept. They had these big wooden swings that seated two people visitors could sit on we would sit there and you could hear the patients moaning and crying. When you entered the main entrance of the building there was a nice stair case...my grandma was a cook in the kitchen. Her and my grandpa lived in apartments that they had at the San. Many of local employeed worked there. There was a playground there it was alway nice and green. There were garages for the renters. Also in their apartments were well kept. My father worked there for eleven years and my mother worked there for eighteen years. I remember the first time I saw a what they called a water-head baby I was young but I was scared. My father worked the 3-11 shift and we woul have to drive to the back of the San to pick him up. I know the people now that live behind there. I went for a drive by there once and its hard to believe of the sheer beauty this once held. It was stated the kid that got killed was from playing around in shutte in the evening. People went and tore copper and all sorts of things with value once it closed. I would not want to live behind there. There also was a commisary store with and place where people could send out mail. In the far back they had a powerhouse there I had a cousin that lived there as well. We would go through the under ground tunnels from the kitchen to where my grand parents lived. Very sad it had some memories there for me. I would not of ever imagined it would turn into something so destructive. And if anyone knows who went up there if it was ghost hunters or whatever if they know the segment or find the website please let me know I would interested reading up on it. I did a search but did not have any luck. Reply...

cmaejames:  Wow, glad you posted...........I wondered if this topic would ever come back around!

Last fall some people did quiet a bit of exploring up at San Haven, somehow they got in contact with someone who was able to grant them permission to be on the property - LUCKY! They have a website called "I am Haunted".  I don't go up to San Haven to ghost hunt, but more to get a feeling for what the place was like back in the early times when it was a T.B. sanitarium.  It truly is a mess now, last time we were there, some of the cottages had been burned down, and I'm guessing that was to try and clean the place up, but I missed seeing the cottages as they had been the first time I was there.  The artesian well that runs out of the pump house is pretty cool to see.  There is a lot of dangerous stuff there, asbestos, open elevator shafts, collapsing floors, shifting buildings, buildings with no roofs, holes in the middle of the sidewalks that covered the tunnels, broken glass, etc.  But if I could get in today I would be there in a heartbeat with my camera!   I have found out a lot about San Haven by researching and talking to people who worked there and there are a lot of specific things I would like to back and look for - we found one of the morgue coolers in one of the Infirmaries,(way doen in the lowest level - no windows - complete darkness) but I just found out that there was also a morgue in one of the other buildings that we didn't find the two times we were there.  I also was told that the Chapel still exists in one of the buildings - we were never able to find that. I think the person told me it was in the Childrens Pavillion - but I have been through that building twice and didn't find it. 

cmaejames if you read this and want to I.M. me, here is my I.M. :

sneakycat89@hotmail.com

I don't check my I.M regularly at this time of the year, but we are hoping to try and get up to San Haven in the next month.  I know we aren't supposed to, but we don't go at night and we don't go to vandalize (there is really nothing left to vandalize - which is so sad that it's sooooo trashed).  But walking around the grounds is peaceful, the trees are gorgeous, and the view from the very top of the tallest Infirmary is spectacular!!!

I also live near Dunsith, maybe 20 miles away. I've only driven by the hospital but it's so trashed. There was no murder there...only a kid who fell down an elevator shaft. They were up there at night I believe and it was an accident. I remember hearing about some kind of Ghost Hunters checking the place out and a friend told me they found a lot of things. I have some friends who recently went there last summer. It was during the day and they have pictures posted on their myspace account. No one is allowed to enter the place, but people still do it. I'd love to check the place out but I don't know if I could go at night! Reply...

blmo:  You sound like a smart person and I respect your opinions but,  as far as rules of engagement go there are none when it comes to killing someone who is out to kill you.  As far as second guessing if you kill anyone in self defence or NOT in self defence you WILL spend the rest of your life second guessing that action.


In times of war I still think a draftee will be more apt to get the job done and come home.  These skirmishes in the mid-east is not a war and have no bearing on the way I think.  I understand how you feel and to fight for a government and a way of life with ones hands tied behind their back is not a war,  its a Match.  In Vietnaum we learned that lesson.  If you have a military intervention it should be fast, swift, to the point and get it over with the use of all weapons at your disposal. 


The country that calls itself the most powerful nation in the world and is scared silly to use the nuclear arsenal which makes us the most powerful nation is not the most powerfull nation it thinks it is.   Personally I would have used a NUKE along time ago.  


No i didnt forget Japan but the rest of the world apparently has. 


This nation should be feared ENOUGH NOT TO EVER be attacked again.

In Hitlary’s statement “village” is “government”.


It doesn’t take a government to raise a child, it takes a family. Contrary to what PBS tries to imply, a family includes a father. You cannot have a family without a father.


We send our kids to private schools because we don’t want the government influencing the beliefs and values of our kids. We want to instill them with our values and our beliefs not the governments. I don’t want them to serve in the military so that their values can be shaped.


I approve of them serving in the military under their own free will if they feel that they are fighting a threat to their freedom or property. In fact I will tell my kids to avoid the military at all costs unless such a cause comes along. Then join.


Our family knows firsthand the sacrifices that those who serve in the military make. I will point out my sacrifices and the sacrifices of our family to them and point out that they should not join the military unless the cause would be worth at least that sacrifice. Their family will share any sacrifices that they make.


That is where a free society breaks down and where fascism creeps in. You apply a set of rules that infringe on everyone’s liberties to compensate for the ills of society created by a few. You empower government by giving up individual rights and liberties in an attempt to try to create a utopia. Man cannot create a utopia.

Where are the Fathers?    As Hillary wrote "it takes a village".  Maybe it does. Reply...

Show me where in the constitution that it says that it is the role of government to turn boys into men and to teach them discipline. It doesn't.


 This is the role of fathers. We don't need government taking over more of the roles of fathers. Welfare has done this and look at the success of that mess.

We can be free.... but with responsibilites.   Learning to protect our country when called upon is a responsibity.


We have about 10% unemployment, and more with young people.  Maybe some of those young people should consider joining the service and getting an education.  


thanks obama for this high unemployment.  :(

"How can we say that we are free if we can be forced at gun point by the government to serve in the military?

If people are free, they will stand up to protect what they have without a draft. Perhaps freedom is the best substitute for a draft."


Excellent point, blmccar.  I agree with you on this point!

I am not seeing military service as a negative... If girls were drafted in 1969 I would have went.   Most men in this society need dicipline.  You will get it in the service.


I am not against a draft.   Never have been, haven't changed my mind on it.


Lets rememeber this is a society with men in the families,   a society that has  single women getting paid to have more babies.  


We have caused this problem,  draft would help to make real men out of  delinquent fatherless youth.

Rugby,


You may have a point. How can we say that we are free if we can be forced at gun point by the government to serve in the military?

If Hussein gets his cap and tax passed, socialized medicine passed, gives amnesty passed, free homes passed, forces me into a union, and raises taxes to pay for all of this then no. Hitler or Stalin could be sending landing craft to our shores and I would still be opposed to a draft. They would be subjecting us to the same thing that our government is subjecting us to, so what is there to fight for?


I would join the military of my own free will and fight to protect my freedoms and my prosperity as well as the freedoms and prosperity of my family. If Hussein takes away our freedoms and our prosperity, then he is giving us what any two bit third world dictator would give us. There is nothing left to fight for.


Another factor is these silly rules of engagement. I could do something that I believe at the time will save my life or the life of a fellow soldier and then end up in a federal prison for the rest of my life. The heck if I would play under those rules. These rules would have to go before I would consider joining. I would have to be allowed to shoot whoever I feel that I need to shoot, whenever I feel that I need to shoot them and not be second guessed by anyone but myself.

Lets add the word Unless.  No draft you say  UNLESS  we need to call people up in a World War situation.   Is that fine with you, or no draft, not ever, no way, no reason?? Reply...
