I am in the process of writing a book about ghostly experiences at a psych hospital I work at, as well as some history of the place. There will be no names mentioned, except the name of the Hospital. All historic information I am using about it is public knowledge. So what, if anything, could be the legal implications of me writing this novel?
As long as you don’t make and slanderous or libelous claims about the hospital, you will be fine.
I would suggest, however, that you change the name of the hospital. It is not necessary, but for the sake of the reputation of the facility, it would be kind.
