This week we talk discuss the horrible details that involves two asylums. Pennhurst Asylum was kept a secret until a news reporter exposed it for the darkness that it really was. What was supposed to be a community of people working together, soon turned into torture, With kids being kept in cages and adults being chained to cribs, it's clear the intentions behind this asylum were pure evil. Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum was supposed to be a place where the mentally ill would go to seek the best help, but this too, would quickly turn bad. What was supposed to house 250 patients soon housed more than 2,000. These buildings have so much evil behind them its no wonder they're haunted. So join us, on this journey into the unknown.
