Who knows of this or has been? I went many years ago during the Caterie Days. Not sure how no one was ever arrested from trespassing but I used to go a lot for the thrill. Does anyone recall the name of it? I'm interested in the history so I can find out if it was really haunted. This place was crazy.

In Port Allen? Where is it located? Or are you talking about the old River West in Plaquemine?

I bet you're thinking of Plaquemine. There was the old Spedale Hospital, which closed and later reopened as Caring, a youth place. It closed several years back.

Was in plaq walking distance from a church.... Think there was a nursery in this hospital but could have been a mental one as well. Trying to get the story straight lol

You should go check out the asylum hospital north of Baton Rouge. I think it's near the tiki tubing place. Always wanted to check that out.

River West in Plaquemine, AKA Killer West

And as someone else corrected "killer west" was not renovated. No one will touch that place because it had such a bad reputation when it was open. The built a brand new facility on LA1.
