Opened in the late 1800s, Overbrook was designed as a progressive facility for treating the mentally ill—but over time, it became known for overcrowding, patient neglect, and mysterious deaths. This video delves into the asylum's early promise, its descent into chaos, and the many ghost stories and urban legends that followed its closure. A haunting look at how forgotten institutions reflect the darkest corners of mental health history in America. Information sourced from Wiki, Gutenburg, JSTOR, primary and secondary sources.
