Inside Old Bryce State Mental Hospital
A few friends and I decided to take a trip this Friday night into the old and dilapidated annex of Bryce State Mental Hospital near the Tuscaloosa Airport off of Highway 82.
There isn’t much information on the web on the history of the annex but I found a good compilation of the rumors and what is known about the place on the al.com ghost stories forum:
“Actually, what everyone calls “Old Bryce” appears to have been a mental institution built as the sister to Bryce Hospital. Bryce is located in Tuscaloosa next to the University of Alabama.
‘Old Bryce’ was the mental hospital for black patients during segregation, from what I understand. There has indeed been a fire, and the building may be structurally unsound. During wetter seasons of the year, the basement floods, and is impossible to navigate around.
It is not advisable to enter Bryce, as it is constantly under surveillance by the local police, trying to keep trespassers away. It is owned by the state of Alabama, as is the S.D. Allen nursing home that sits on the land adjacent to “Old Bryce.”
Old Bryce was actually called either The Colony or the Boy’s Colony. As for the reason that it closed down, there is speculation that experiments were performed on the patients that may have been inhumane (lobotomies, for instance). But at the time, these procedures were considered legitimate medicine.
Personally, I think the institution was shut down because of desegregation, but I don’t know why Bryce would not use it as additional facilities if that were the case… the buildings were built nearly identically to each other, and they are both owned by the state.”
Since there isn’t a lot of information or video of the inside of this place I decided to post a video of our adventure inside.
Enjoy.

It’s not burned down. It’s still standing, and still creepy as hell. A group of us went there tonight and if you’ve seen the Dexateens videos of Old Bryce, we can confirm the weirdness. There’s definitely something supernatural in there. We were walking down the middle of the first floor, and we hear a whistle just like they did, and then we heard weeping, and a scream. We bolted after that.

@TheBadBoi2009 its where the patient would be put under and the doctor would cut open the skull and remove the part of the brain that they though made the person crazy/insane and alot of patients if not all eventually died from it, thats why alot of asylums are haunted because almost all asylums practiced labotamies even when they were made illegal

A cop told us a story that they continue to hear an old school telephone ring inside of Bryce. They “say” four of the police officers searched pretty much all night for the phone but couldn’t find it. Kind of creepy huh? He also noted that alot of drug deals go down and homeless to kind of get near the spot so it is pretty dangerous. Not to mention it is supposed to be condemned too.
