Staff At Colorado Special Needs Facility Blame Abuse On “Paranormal Activity”

Confronted about abuse at a Pueblo, Colorado special needs center, the staff had a novel defense: “paranormal activity.” That’s right, ghosts scratched words like “die” and “kill” into people with severe disabilities.

Among the paranormal activities was a patient burned by a hairdryer.

The Department of Human Services oversees the Pueblo Regional Center which released a statement reading that it will “continue to improve staff training in a number of areas.”
