The empty, imposing structure of the Sheboygan County Comprehensive Health Care Center is typically mistaken for the Sheboygan County asylum, which was located elsewhere. Built in 1940, the building was used during WWII to house POWs who were put to work in the fields. It was later used to serve the mentally ill, disabled, and elderly.
The hospital closed in 2002.
Visitors have reported hearing a young girl humming a song, being touched and having their hair pulled, loud bangs, doors slamming, whispers and screams. Numerous nurses are said to have committed suicide in the hospital throughout its operation. A 2020 episode of Destination Fear explored the building, including the tunnels, surgical center, and morgue. They photographed what appeared to be a large shadow figure in one of the tunnels.

The Sheboygan asylum is private property and no trespassing is allowed. You can visit the hospital by joining one of the ghost tours conducted by the Fox Valley Ghost Hunters, who also host paranormal investigations at the Old Glenbeulah School.
