Yorktown, Texas — After decades of abandonment and whispered legends, Yorktown Memorial Hospital has officially entered a new era. On July 8, 2025, longtime paranormal tour guides Stephen Garza-Guzman and Fred Garza-Guzman, founders of Curious Twins Tours & Events, became the proud owners of the historic—and notoriously haunted—hospital.
Originally opened in 1951 to serve the Polish communities of Yorktown and Nordheim, the hospital operated under the care of the Felician Sisters. Though it never reached full capacity, nearly 2,000 deaths were recorded within its walls over 35 years, fueling rumors of malpractice and mysterious occurrences. After a brief stint as a drug rehabilitation center in the late 1980s, the building fell silent—until Stephen and Fred began hosting guided tours and paranormal investigations in 2018.
Now, as official stewards of the property, the duo plans to preserve and celebrate the hospital’s legacy. Their offerings include guided tours, overnight investigations, and private rentals for events ranging from music videos to weddings. Visitors can book experiences through Peek’s booking platform, with additional options soon available at the upcoming yorktownmemorialhospital.com.
“We’ve always loved sharing this property and its haunts with our guests,” said Stephen. “Now, we’re excited to preserve and celebrate its past in brand new ways.”
The hospital’s mid-century architecture, designed by H.H. Moeller Construction Company and architect Leo M.J. Dielmann, remains a focal point of its eerie charm. From the cross-shaped layout to the small chapel, each corner holds stories—some documented, others whispered through the decades.
Curious Twins will also launch a gift shop featuring exclusive books, merchandise, and spiritual supplies, with proceeds supporting restoration efforts including roof repairs and enhanced security. Conservation updates, historical discoveries, and behind-the-scenes content will be shared across their platforms, including TheMorbidTravelGuide.com and social media accounts @CuriousTwins and @YorktownMemorialHospital.
Whether drawn by history, architecture, or the paranormal, guests are invited to experience the haunting magic of Yorktown Memorial Hospital firsthand. As Fred puts it, “This was no longer just a haunted location we visited. It was ours.”
