The owners of Yorktown Memorial Hospital who lead paranormal tours of the historical building say they are baffled by the City of Yorktown’s recent decision to halt their operation.
The city posted a notice on its Facebook page Friday, Aug. 22, saying, “The city has officially deemed this building unsafe for occupancy under Section 116 of the International Existing Building Code (as adopted by City Code). Due to the risk of structural failure or hazardous conditions, this property has been posted with a notice that prohibits any public entry or use.”
The owners, life partners Stephen and Fred Garza-Guzman who operate Curious Twins Paranormal and Ghost Tours, said they bought the building earlier in the summer after guiding tours through it for six years while it was owned by another party. The hospital has long been rumored to be haunted.
