The Haunted Randolph House of Pulaski Virginia

The Randolph House in Pulaski, Virginia sits on a quiet ridge like a shuttered stage, its windows clouded, its hallways still holding the faint echo of lives passing through. Long before it became one of Pulaski County’s favorite ghost-story backdrops, the building began humbly in 1926 as a seven-bed hospital. In those days the region was growing, rail lines hummed, and Pulaski needed a place where miners, factory workers, and mountain families could seek treatment without traveling to Roanoke.

By 1965, the little facility upgraded to the name Pulaski General Hospital, reflecting its expanding role. Its narrow wards and white-tiled corridors saw decades of births, losses, emergency surgeries, and long recoveries. But the building was small, aging fast, and by 1973 its hospital chapter closed. For a year it sat silent, that eerie kind of silence old medical buildings know too well.

In 1974 the doors opened again under a new name: Randolph House, a retirement home. For about 30 years it served Pulaski’s elders. Staff and residents spent their days in warm routines, but behind that normalcy came the occasional whisper of “strange things” around the facility. Some longtime Pulaski locals insist the building was already known as a place where time felt thin, as if the past still walked its halls.

When Randolph House eventually closed, the property slipped into vacancy once more. And that’s when the stories really started spreading.

Local Legends and Reported Encounters

Since releasing your video, the flood of messages you received matches what many locals have quietly shared for years. Folks who grew up around Pulaski, especially those who wandered close during its abandoned years, talk about:

The Shadow Figures

People report quick, sharp movements inside the building at night. Shadows that cross from window to window as if on an endless loop. Some claim they’ve watched a figure on the upper floor halt mid‑stride, then dissolve like dust in sunlight.

The Woman in the Skywalk

One of the most repeated stories involves the enclosed walkway that connects the two sections of the building. Drivers passing below say a woman frequently appears in the center of it, looking down as if checking on someone arriving. She vanishes the moment headlights fully illuminate her.

The Nurse Who Doesn’t Belong to Any Era

Visitors have described a woman in an old-fashioned nurse’s uniform drifting between patient rooms. Some say she walks with purpose, as if still tending to someone who hasn’t been living for decades. She leaves no footsteps. She’s gone when you turn a corner. Many believe she’s a remnant from the Pulaski General years.

Murmurs and Movement

People exploring the property have told of hearing soft rolling sounds inside, like old hospital carts being pushed. Others mention the unmistakable sensation of someone standing just behind them, even when the building is completely empty.

Our Visits

Both times we filmed at Randolph House we felt the same thing: a tight, almost watching atmosphere. It wasn’t threatening, but it clung to us like the building wanted to see who had come calling. Doors sighed in the wind, empty hallways breathed their cool drafts across the thresholds, and the whole place felt alive in its own quiet, abandoned way.
