Bedlam: The True Story of History's Most Infamous Asylum

For a penny, you could watch them scream. Bethlem Royal Hospital known to the world as Bedlam was where London sent its mad. For over a century, it was also one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. Nearly 96,000 visitors a year paid to walk the galleries, poke inmates with sticks, and laugh at their suffering. This is the true story of history's most infamous asylum. From its origins as a medieval priory to its transformation into a theatre of cruelty. From the chains and spinning chairs to the reformers who finally exposed the horror. And from the patients—the political prisoners, the inconvenient wives, the genuinely ill—who suffered inside its walls. This is why "bedlam" became a word for chaos. This is the darkness we'd rather forget. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 — The Penny Show (Introduction) 00:06:35 — Chapter 1: The Priory of Bethlehem 00:18:24 — Chapter 2: The Theatre of Madness 00:34:19 — Chapter 3: The Inconvenient 00:41:47 — Chapter 4: The Treatments 00:53:38 — Chapter 5: The Architecture of Despair 01:01:33 — Chapter 6: The Light 01:08:33 — The Ghost of Bedlam (Conclusion) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY FIGURES COVERED: Margaret Nicholson — The woman who tried to assassinate King George III with a dessert knife James Tilly Matthews — The tea broker who documented the "Air Loom" mind-control machine William Norris — Chained in an iron harness for over nine years The countless "inconvenient wives" committed by their husbands ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 Subscribe to The Midnight Archives for more deep dives into history's darkest chapters. #Bedlam #DarkHistory #Asylum #MentalHealth #TrueHistory #Documentary #BethlemHospital #History #MadnessHistory #VictorianHistory #LondonHistory #TheMidnightArchives
