| Old Bryce Asylum & Jemison Nursing Home Northport, AL |
History of Old Bryce Asylum and the Jemison Nursing Home
The Alabama Paranormal Research Team was given a rare opportunity to investigate the Bryce State Mental Hospital. Now
abandon A.P.R.T. & D.C.P. (Druid City Paranormal) got together with a few guest investigator to document paranormal activity
associated with Bryce. The simple structure of the building is that of intimidation. Large and over powering the hospital is 3
stories high with a sub basement. Also located on the property is an abandon nursing home also said to have paranormal
activity. The investigation of this establishment was a true honor to be able to travel back in time to the days of Bryce being
an active and working establishment. A.P.R.T. would like to Thank Liz Chandler of Druid City Paranormal, our guest reporter
and members of the Northport PD for helping us conduct a safe and productive investigation.
THANK YOU!
Bryce Asylum is the oldest mental asylum in the state of Alabama. During the working days of Bryce patients here where
treated well in the beginning. Due to cut backs, under staffing, and over crowding, Bryce as well as the Jemison Nursing
home where forced to close there doors. Segregation in the early 60's made life for black patients here very difficult, though
slavery was long abolished segregation laws allowed the center to force black patients to work the surrounding farm land. If
living in bad conditions wasn't enough adding to the hardship by having to work long hours, in already bad conditions made
the circumstances of some patients at Bryce and the Jemison center a terrible place to be. I can honestly say aside of the
paranormal activity that takes place here, it's truly a sad and painful place. With lingering feelings that seem to live in this
place it's not a wonder that there are some really bad things still left here. Outside investigators have reported being pelted
with glass in certain location inside the Jemison center as well as a dark and demonic force that seems to lurk inside the
surgical areas. I don't recommend this investigation to just anyone. Only a very experienced and open minded persons
should take this particular case.
Investigation of Old Bryce and the Jemison Center
Bryce Asylum and the Jemison center (abandon nursing home) located just across the street from Bryce. Are definitely at the
top of the list for places with paranormal activity within the state. Our investigation turned up a tremendous amount of activity in
both buildings. The nursing home seemed to be almost alive with activity seemingly breathing at times, we witnessed many
disembodied voices, shadows that moved in the dark, stigmata, ETC. The first episode of activity took place in the surgical
room inside the nursing home. As we sat and waited for reactions to our questions we experienced direct responses to our
questions by the asking for entities to walk toward our K2 and Tri-field meters, and upon request our meters would register a
reading off our charts. These electrical spikes where very common within the buildings.

Non Paranormal photos and information
The surgical room was by far the most active location in the Jemison Center. The Old Bryce Hospital is in terrible condition and
unsafe. Asbestos and other hazards like mold and unstable structures make the Old Hospital a very dangerous place to
investigate. Also I recommend getting the proper authorization before entering the location at any time. The location is marked
with Trespassing signs and Bryce Security along with Northport PD does patrol the area regularly! You can be arrested for
trespassing here so PLEASE, DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION WITHOUT THE PROPER AUTHORIZATION!
