Royal Derwent Hospital- Mental Asylum
Location- New Norfolk, Tasmania Australia
As Willow Court grew and expanded over many years so did ideas of better practice and facilities to treat people with Disabilities and Mental Health issues in Tasmania.
Construction started for the new Hospital during the 1950s and was completed several years later. Royal Derwent Hospital consisted of 12 free standing Wards spaced out over a large area. The Royal Derwent Site also consisted of other buildings and amenities such as a pool, theatre, gym, bowling green, Laundry, Kitchen, Steam Boiler plant and a Storeroom just to name a few.
Royal Derwent Hospital cared for a range of people with Mental Health Issues such as depression, schizophrenia, Psychosis, Alcoholics, Drug Addicts, War Veterans, Criminally Insane, Epileptics, Sex offenders, Paedophiles.
Patients that posed a risk to themselves or the community were placed in one of the High Security Wards, Ward 7 & Ward 10; both these Wards had HaHa walls constructed around the parameter.
During the late 90s the new philosophy of De-institutionalisation meant that patients started gradually moving from the wards at Royal Derwent into group homes in the community. Royal Derwent Officially closed its doors in 2000.
Since its closure Royal Derwent has been left to deteriorate and decay with time and vandalism. Recently a developer purchased most of the Wards and plans to knock them down to create a Housing development: the demolition has already started.
In its operation and during its closure Royal Derwent has had a lot of reported paranormal activity, some of which has even been reported about in the States largest Newspaper and News. Australian Paranormal Investigation Unit has dedicated many hours investigating these reports and have since experienced there own paranormal encounters.

Stats indicate that 25% of the clients resided in Ward 7 for many years whilst up to 50% were only admitted for a few weeks.
Currently Ward 7 is on the Heritage list meaning its safe from demolition, however the developer if trying to appeal this.

Willow Court, New Norfolk Tasmania- Insane Asylum
Willow Court takes its name from two willows planted by Lady Franklin, the wife of the Lieutenant-Governor, which were reputed to be two cuttings from the grave of Napoleon on Saint Helena. Willow Court pre dates the well known site of Port Arthur. The complex and the adjoining Royal Derwent Hospital, was the oldest mental hospital in Australia still in use, at the time of its closure in 2000-01. In early years the hospital served three purposes; as a general hospital for the district, an invalid depot for convicts and an asylum for the insane (to serve the whole colony). It remained under military administration until the official Government take-over in 1855. Eventually the hospital became virtually self-sufficient when farms on adjacent land were used to grow fruit and vegetables and produce sheep, cattle, pigs and poultry. At the end of the 20th century, changes in Government policy led to activities at the complex being wound down and eventually closed.

Tunnel under the Asylum- Willow Court, New Norfolk, Tasmania
Tunnel still a mystery
The Mercury- ALICE CLARIDGE March 15, 2013 12.00am
Thank you to the Derwent Valley Council and The Mercury for the Film
THE mystery has not yet been solved, but a large piece of the puzzle behind the New Norfolk tunnels has been revealed.
The Derwent Valley Council has obtained video footage of about 100m of the tunnel, which lies up to 8m beneath one of New Norfolk's busiest streets.
The tunnel was believed to have been built in the 1830s, but no one knows why.

More information on Willow Court:
One thing I also remember is hearing lots of yelling when I used to visit her in the visiting room. There were always nurses running around frantically often with straight jackets in hand. It was a sad and spooky place. I don't think it was based on treatment as they tried to make is sound like -- it was just containment -- get 'these' type of people off the streets and lick them up and make them quiet.

We haven't done a lot of investigation in this ward however, there undoubtedly seems to get something very odd in this Ward. People seem to feel sick in this ward and there is a particular spot which leads to a bathroom where we have heard strange noises on several occasions, One investigator has been reported actually feeling something brush past him. Someone has uploaded a picture of a face on a window in Ward F which is located on our facebook page. This place warrants a good investigation.
