Psychiatric hospital cemetery

That is a sad place. I guess it is true, we are all just a number (and apparently have been for a long time according to that headstone key).

If they are going to put a tomb stone up why not inscribe the name? That seems odd they’d go the distance, almost.

Maybe it was a privacy thing or a cost saving measure. Half of the "stones" are steel which they stamped with a number. Thanks for looking

Sad site. Some of the people seem to have died on the same day or a few days a part. Wondering if there was some kind of epidemy in that hospital.

That's so sad.. Go through all that and be buried there too, as a Number.

Thanks for posting this.

Wow! That is a very familiar story I suppose. Just insert the name of your nearby asylum. Thank you for the link. GM

Sgt Young in that last video, its a disgrace we allow this to happen.

Yeah, I agree with the bad mojo thing. I would be afraid to dig there. Who knows what went on there before? I could only imagine.

We have an old Psych. Hospital used as a MAX Security PRISON in Virginia; visited there, when it was a PH... CRAZY! As a prison, it was HAUNTED, & inmates HATED it! Warden lived on the grounds...

I knew John (the Warden), personally; his was a Medium Security Prison. Inmates hear whispering, foot-steps "padding around", "ppl" looking into inmate rooms & "pod areas"... SPOOKY STUFF! ANYWAY...

Yes that is sad. Pretty much every state had these large hospitals for the insane. That is what they were called back then. Georgia's main insane asylum was a large cluster of old 3 story brick buildings in Milledgeville, GA.

In the 70's and 80's they closed them all (budget problems) and not those troubled people are simply out on the streets as homeless people. At least back then we tried to take care of them.

Connecticut was bad and wrong in closing down many psychiatric hospitals into the streets.
