Eerie images inside abandoned hospital reveal leftover blood specimens, rusting operating table and rotting BODY PARTS
THESE haunting photos show the crumbling remains of an abandoned hospital filled with leftover blood samples and rotting body parts.
The eerie Charity Hospital in New Orelans, Louisiana, was one of the oldest in the USA before it became a casualty of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Since then the building has become rotting and decayed with forgotten flesh and body parts littering the spooky abandoned wards.
It was founded on May 10, 1736, by a French sailor and shipbuilder whose dying wish was to fund a hospital for the poor.
But after it was flooded by devastating Hurricane Katrina, the decision was made not to rebuild the 2,680-bed facility so it has since fallen into a mouldy state of disrepair.
Rotting fingers and toes are strewn across the wards, while vials of blood have been abandoned.
A creepy derelict autopsy theatre in the hospital's basement is yellowing and decayed with an operating table rusting in the middle of the room.
Hazardous chemicals have been piled up in the decaying hallways and mouldy wallpaper is peeling from the endless corridors.
Rusty beds and medical dummies can also been seen placed on the filthy, flooded ground in the spine-tingling photographs.

Last Christmas, the hospital was shrouded in mystery after a spooky image of a tree shining from the window took the internet by storm.
The eerie snap was posted on Facebook by Lisa Walley Staggs, a nurse who works at the medical centre directly opposite the deserted building.
