But, one form of therapy that was definitely practiced which had no semblance of torture and in fact was meant to help provide rehabilitation, involved the establishment of a dairy nearby the hospital.
Patients that were able participated in working at this dairy, taking care of the animals, and growing vegetables. The food produced from the therapy programs at this dairy went directly to feeding the inmates and staff at the hospital.
Sadly in the s the hospital closed the dairy, simply abandoning the buildings. By , the hospital also closed, and was left slowly falling apart until fall of when the campus reopened as California State University Channel Islands. In the college added on the acre piece of land that contained the dairy and incorporated it into its holdings setting it up currently as a park with hiking trails and other amenities.
For something like fifty years the buildings that made up the working dairy have been left in some sort of state of arrested decay. Now due to extreme vandalism and tagging, the two main structures are behind fences and the park is heavily patrolled by people on horseback.
One structure is clearly a barn like building although it has a skeleton appearance to it now. The second main building had several rooms, all of them heavily gratified. Ceilings and walls have collapsed, but still the structure is very much a maze of vandalized rooms and graffiti painted passageways. EVPs are quite easily captured there, given one has the right equipment, and an unusual variety of noises have been reported. Footsteps and the rattling of chains? One wonders if perhaps the cows and other dairy animals are still present in a spectral form.
At various times around the country, the spirits of domesticated animals such as horses and dogs have been spotted by intrepid ghost hunters. They are typically even less corporeal than the ghost of a human , with the notable exception of a few particular intelligent and loyal dogs.
At the Scary Dairy, it seems entirely possible that the tight clustering of animals combined with the psychic activity already present. Such a confluence of ghostly energy could potentially allow for at least a few of them to remain on the scene, albeit in a diminished form.
Unlike the human victims of the Scary Dairy, these spectral cows and other creatures are almost certainly harmless. These innocent creatures may no longer be truly conscious, but they certainly still feel pain and confusion, and likely will for some time to come. The dairy was run by staff members and patients of the hospital as a form of a work experience program and to help bring in some additional income for the hospital.
The dairy was closed in the s and, eventually, the buildings fell into a state of disrepair, falling prey over the decades to vandals and taggers. The old dairy is said to be the site of all plethora of supernatural activity. Ghost hunters and paranormal investigators have come from all over the world to visit the site. Many have reported numerous cold spots, especially around the tanks that still stand just outside the main building.
Small objects left lying out, especially keys, seem to invariably be found moved or missing when their owner returns.
And a few people have even reported seeing them move on their own. Who are these ghosts? Well, rumors have it that the site is haunted by the ghosts of more than one unfortunate patient who met their end at the Mental Hospital and perhaps even a few of the former livestock.
