The 1839 poorhouse—where 7,000 patients stayed.

A site in Westland, Michigan, Eloise is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The 1839 poorhouse—where 7,000 patients stayed. The presences in its file go unnamed: the patients, the record says. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. The site is open to visitors.

Eloise is the city — the 902 acres that were the campus, the 10,000 who lived there. The poorhouse was the '39 — the Wayne County that's the origin, the daughter who was the name. The treatments were the edge — the x-rays that were the first, the lobotomies that were the dark.
The cemetery is the 7,100 — the numbered bricks that are the markers, the unnamed who are the dead. The closing was the '84 — the psychiatric '79, the haunted attraction that's now. Eloise is the self-sufficient — the fire department that's the town, the railroad that's the internal.
The file keeps Eloise: the 1839 poorhouse, the 10,000 patients, the 7,100 unmarked, and the city.
Eloise is the archive's Westland file — the city that was a hospital.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Eloise is the archive's Westland file — the self-contained asylum.
A hospital keeps its cemetery — the file's suggestion being that Eloise's hold is the city: the 10,000 who lived, the 7,100 who are numbered, and the '84 closure that's the haunting.

The name travels further than the proof; the sightings keep renewing the lease.
