Hospital of the Thorax of Terrasa
Human phenomena paranormal, strangers satanic rites, suicides, corpses, actors and directors of cinema witnesses of mysterious events. In Terrasa, to the outskirts, in the highway that goes towards the town of Matadepera, one is what was the hospital of the most important thorax of Spain. Its ruins as soon as they suggest what dismal one was its happened. In their environs of the hospital several abiertos places exist of which the entrance is possible. The hospital counts on a asilvestrados chapel that are in ruins and gardens that contribute to give a ghostly aspect him, and more when it knows that it was scene of numerous suicides years back, when the hospital worked.
During many years it was the destiny of victims of pulmonary diseases. It was let to them single and isolate to avoid the contagion. The patients of the Hospital of the Thorax came from all Spain, the hospital belonged to the Ministry of Health. The hospital was inaugurated in 1950 by Francisco Franco, in the Fifties got to shelter 1200 patients, essentially afflicted of cancer of lung and tuberculosis, fatal diseases at the time. The hospital granted the award of being the sanitary center of all Spain with greater number of annual suicides. The interns sent themselves to the emptiness from the windows of the ninth plant, falling to a back garden of which ´´la had been called him jungle due to the shouts that were used to listen of the people who committed suicide and those of those interns who shouted phrases like ´´ya have fallen another or other that to wire drawing . Day to day, the retinas of the patients were made an impression by the images of the bodies flying towards their destruction. The fallen ones continued living in the memory of the interns. The distance seemed to influence negatively in the psychic state of the majority of the patients, who felt by chance left by their dear beings. In a certain sense they were right. Many, those that lived in moved away parts of Spain, could not pay to the displacement and the stay in Catalonia, and other many did not go to the hospital by fear to be infected. This brought about a psychic and depressive state for the interns, and adding its evil been of health, sometimes this constituted a lethal combination that it urged to them the suicide.
The interns lived in perpetual psicodrama collective in which the death was the unique protagonist. They began to circulate histories of of which they appeared old passed away patients that they went by the nights to visit his companions. One does not know if these experiences were real and objective or fruit of the suggestion by the oppressive climate that was lived. Sometimes the appearances were not of passed away interns but of more sinister personages, like ´´ the nurse of the death or the translucent patient that took a walk by the garden dragging the feet while it took an oxygen set. Who knows if it would not be creations. Ever since it closed his doors, in the middle of the eighty, they began to florar testimonies of which strange things happened there: steps were listened to, saw shades cross furtively The place became o'clock of peregrination for the finders of the unusual thing and there many have been obtained psicofonías.
At the moment the hospital is to a large extent closed, in the hope of works of preparation that changed their face for always and, with luck, will erase the horrible stigma that survives in that one place. Only there is a part that is in operation that is the one that has the cinematographic producer Filmax has used that it to make runnings of its films, and another deep psychic disabled wing where is the residence for the Pineda, that belongs to the Catalan Autonomous Government and has capacity 62 residential places. The place belongs to the city council of Terrassa and to the Catalan Autonomous Government of Catalonia, which it has signed an agreement to realise the project of the audio-visual park in the old hospital of the Thorax, whose surface will be of about 60,000 square meters and the cost of the project ascends to about 35 million Euros, of which the Catalan Autonomous Government will contribute 8.5 million and the rest they will be obtained by means of a banking credit mortgaging the own hospital.
