A view of the Missouri River and Saint Albans Island. St. Albans is an unincorporated community in northeastern Franklin County, Missouri, United States. It lies less than a mile north of Route 100 about seven miles west of Wildwood. It is near the Missouri River and features high bluffs overlooking the river. The community is on the border of St. Louis County, Missouri. The town also borders a small section of St. Charles County, Missouri which, unlike the rest of the county, is on the south side of the Missouri River. St. Albans was founded in 1837.
But only one has beaten out other types of paranormally busy sites (such as cemeteries and battlefields) to become known as the âmost active location on the east coastâ1: St. Albans Sanatorium. The hospitalâs haunted story begins before it was even built. St. Albans Sanatorium is located in Radford, Virginia. During the 1700s, the cityâs close proximity to the New River Watershed attracted Native Americans and early European settlers alike. Competition over the area resulted in hostilities between the two groups.
