Established in 1874 in Athens, Ohio, the asylum was originally built to provide moral treatment but quickly became overcrowded and associated with harsh conditions, patient neglect, and experimental therapies. This video traces its rise, the daily realities for patients and staff, and the chilling legacy it left behind—including tales of hauntings after its closure. A powerful look at the dark side of 19th- and 20th-century mental health care in America. Information sourced from Wiki, Gutenburg, JSTOR, primary and secondary sources.
