Welcome to the chilling history behind the Clayton Hotel in Sligo, Ireland—a place where the past lingers long after the building was transformed from a mental hospital into a modern hotel. Opened in 1855 as the Sligo Asylum, this imposing structure has seen its fair share of unsettling events over the years. In the 1920s, it became known as the Sligo Mental Hospital, later becoming St. Columba's Hospital until its closure in 1992. It wasn’t until 2005 that it was repurposed into the hotel we know today—but, as we’ll see, some of its darker history refuses to stay buried.
In this video, we dive into the ghostly happenings that have plagued the site over the years. From reports of strange sightings during the building’s conversion—from a woman and child in period clothing walking through walls—to eerie encounters in the hotel itself, including flickering lights, malfunctioning TVs, and ghostly apparitions, this once-hospitable site has earned its reputation as a haunted location.
We’ll also explore a spooky personal account from actor Paul Mescal, who shared his unsettling experience staying in the hotel as a young man. A whistling sound, a moving chair, and a slammed door were just the beginning of his terrifying encounter. Could there be more to this place than just a history of mental health care?
There’s even a room that’s been allegedly withdrawn from service due to a high number of "paranormal complaints."
Join us as we uncover the mysterious and unsettling stories behind the Clayton Hotel, where the spirits of the past still seem to walk the halls.
