Base Camp Lindsey is a non-profit organization whose mission is to end veteran homelessness. They purchased a former nursing home in 2020 with the hope of refurbishing the building into a homeless shelter and support center for homeless veterans of our armed forces. They will offer beds, food, clothing, and other support services to help these brave men and women get back on their feet and improve their lives.

The building was a nursing home from the mid-1960’s until 2007, when it was closed amid rumors and allegations of resident abuse. Information given to us indicate that the resident weren’t even being fed during the last weeks that the nursing home was open and that some of the kind nurses were bringing food in at their own expense until the residents were relocated to other facilities. There is a death ledger from the mid 1990’s that shows over 400 deaths within a two year timeframe.

Since Base Camp Lindsey purchased the building and began renovations, there have been numerous reports of disembodied voices heard in the halls and resident rooms, shadow figures in the nurses stations, administrative offices, and kitchen area, objects moving on their own and unexplained noises such as footsteps, metal clanging, and sounds of people eating (silverware scraping against plates). Many of the volunteers report the feeling of being followed around the building while they haul out construction debris or the feeling of being watched, as well as being touched, pushed, having their hair pulled, etc.
