Croydon, London
The infamous Cane Hill Hospital opened in 1883 as a mental asylum. The main part of the site closed in 1992 and has been derelict ever since.
Security staff and those who have visited the abandoned building have reported seeing the figure of a man wandering around in the trees near the hospital, others have seen dark shadowy figures walking the hospital's deserted corridors.
