Yorktown Mayor: Memorial Hospital not ‘haunted,’ city still assessing safety

A determination about the Yorktown Memorial Hospital building’s safety will be decided by city officials later, according to a statement issued by Yorktown Mayor Bill Baker.

Baker issued the statement in response to a press release by building owners Fred and Steve Garza-Guzman, who said a recent comprehensive structural evaluation performed by a licensed engineer found the 75-year-old building to be “sound, stable and safe for its current use.” The owners give paid paranormal tours of the building due to speculation by them it is haunted.

Baker said the owners commissioned a structural evaluation as required by the City of Yorktown that is under review by city officials.
