Tucked away on the outskirts of Lancaster sits the eerie and long-forgotten Fairfield County Infirmary a place where history and heartbreak seem to linger in the walls. Built in 1828 as a poorhouse, it was meant to shelter the county’s most vulnerable: the sick, the elderly, and those with nowhere else to go. Over the decades, its purpose shifted, housing not only the poor but also individuals struggling with mental illness often in conditions that, by today’s standards, would be considered inhumane.
Whispers of overcrowding, neglect, and tragedy have followed the infirmary through time. Countless deaths occurred on the property, some expected… others far more mysterious. As the years passed and the building fell into disrepair, it didn’t just lose its function it gained a reputation. Visitors and investigators alike have reported shadowy figures, disembodied voices, and an overwhelming feeling that they are not alone.
That’s what makes this week’s investigation even more intense.
CPI traveled straight into the heart of this location, and the anticipation has been building but what really set the tone was the trailer video put together by Chad.
If the video is any indication, this investigation isn’t just another night it’s going to be something unforgettable.
Shoutout to Chad McGinnis for making this incredible trailer!
