Summary
Most people would run from a haunted hospital. Ronnie Dee bought two.
In this chilling episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Ronnie Dee, the man who owns not one, but two of the most haunted hospitals in Tennessee—Old South Pittsburg Hospital and Old Historic Harriman Hospital. Both buildings were once slated for demolition. Now, they’re preserved—not just in brick and mortar, but in paranormal energy.
What drives someone to purchase an abandoned haunted hospital? According to Ronnie, the question isn’t why—it’s who still lingers inside. At South Pittsburg, visitors and investigators regularly encounter a pipe-smoking doctor, shadow figures, and a nurse who swore she’d return after death—and did. These aren’t legends. These are true stories of real hauntings that Ronnie and his team experience regularly.
But it doesn’t stop there. At Harriman Hospital, over 40 volunteers have reported seeing the same ghostly man roaming the halls. Who is he? No one knows—but they all describe him the same way. From unexplained voices and cold spots to full-bodied apparitions, these hospitals may look abandoned on the outside—but they’re alive with supernatural activity on the inside.
This is Part One of a jaw-dropping conversation that explores what happens when you become the owner of places that refuse to let go of their dead. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this story will make you think twice about what’s really behind those boarded-up windows and locked hospital doors.
This isn’t just another haunted hospital story. This is ownership of the afterlife.
