Medical Building

The OES visited the Medical Building in July of 2003. Located on East Town Street in Columbus, this large medical professional building has been abandoned since 2002 when 4MX Partners bought the building from the US HealthStar Corp. The building served for years as the offices of about 20 doctors and was very outdated and in need of repair. Instead of renovating the building, the owners closed up shop leaving behind furniture, electronic equipment, and medical supplies. Much of the building seemed to be in good shape, but there was obviously some water damage from leaking pipes. Ceiling tiles hang down and the carpet was extremely damp in the areas surrounding the leaks. We were quite surprised to find shelves full of prescription drugs, bandages, and IV bags left behind. There were also tubes of urine and blood left in the lab area and used needles laying on the floors. Computer hardware and software, patient files, and other medical records were left in the building as well. It is not recommended that anyone should try to get into this building as it is monitored closely and is extremely dangerous due to the bio-hazardous materials left behind. Police routinely patrol the area, armed guards are inside the building periodically, and it is monitored by a burglar alarm whenever a guard isn't present. We've spoken with some of the guards who've said they think the place may be haunted. There's a general eerie feeling in the basement and mysterious noises can be heard when it's quiet. Apparently a few people have actually died in the building.
