Irqah Hospital
Defunct hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irqah Hospital (Arabic: مستشفى عرقة), also at times Ergah Hospital is a now-defunct and abandoned health care facility in the Irqah neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Completed in 1987 as a private medical facility, it housed a number of Kuwaiti families fleeing the Iraqi invasion of their country in 1990 and later on treated combatants during the Gulf War. It was reopened in 1993 when it was rehabilitated as a hospital and functioned for nearly 8 years prior to ceasing operations around 2001.[1] It is considered to be one of the most haunted sites in Riyadh[2] where several incidents of unusual paranormal activities have been reported by residents living in its vicinity.[3][4]
