Eloise Reconsidered (part 1) | The History without the Haunted
Update: 2025-08-04
Description
Before Eloise became one of America’s most haunted hospitals, it was a place of innovation, heartbreak, and resilience.
In this first part of our two-part series, we explore the origins of Eloise, from its muddy beginnings in 1839 Detroit to its rise as a sprawling medical city.
We’ll uncover:
- The story behind the Black Horse Tavern and the land’s purchase
- Eloise’s evolution into a psychiatric, TB, and general hospital
- Groundbreaking therapies and medical firsts
- The haunting truth of the Eloise cemetery
- Why Eloise remains a cornerstone in paranormal investigation
This episode is a tribute to the lives lived—and lost—within Eloise’s walls.
🎧 Part 2 will explore the hauntings, legends, and firsthand accounts from those who’ve worked and investigated there.
