User-identified as an abandoned hospital in Taif associated with local ghost stories; none of the supplied sources corroborate the site's existence, location, history, or any paranormal reports.

The Haunting

This entry documents a user-named site, 'Al‑Diri Hospital', described as an abandoned hospital in Taif with local ghost stories. The supplied research materials contain no references to this hospital, to Taif, or to paranormal activity connected with a hospital in Saudi Arabia. Key details about the site's official name, alternate names, location, construction date, ownership history, current condition, and any reported phenomena are not present in the provided sources and therefore cannot be verified here. The source set includes unrelated materials (an excerpt from a Wikipedia article about Haji Ashaari Muhammad/Al‑Arqam, two CIA archival documents concerning medical/parasitological research unrelated to Saudi Arabia, and an audio archive of Quranic recitations/Roqya). While the Roqya archive is culturally relevant to Islamic spiritual healing practices, there is no explicit link in the supplied documents between those recordings and this hospital or any local folklore about it. Because the primary materials do not mention the named site, any historical narrative, list of reported phenomena, or assignment of local meaning would be speculative beyond the supplied research notes. Further research is required to substantiate the existence and folklore of 'Al‑Diri Hospital': recommended sources include local Saudi news archives, municipal and land records for Taif, Arabic-language folkloric collections, satellite imagery of Taif for abandoned medical facilities, and first-hand witness interviews. Until such corroborating sources are provided, claims about hauntings or specific events at this location remain unverified.
