Fairfield Hills Hospital

Fairfield Hills State Hospital was dedicated in 1931, took its first patients in 1933 and closed in 1995, housing thousands of patients at its peak. The Town of Newtown bought the 185-acre campus in 2004 and has been redeveloping it since; the campus has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Local reports, covered by the Newtown Bee and other area press, describe a recurring figure known as the "White Lady" — a small, pale woman seen glowing faintly at the windows of the campus's remaining institutional buildings.
