Suitcases from a State Hospital Attic

[redrum]

Also found this amazing site that some of you may have already seen, but its definitely worth a look for all the asylum heads out there. It documents the discovery of patients suitcases and their contents found in the attic of the Willard Psychiatric Centre in New York which closed its doors in 1995. Some evocative reading.........

cheers for that,
very insightful and kind of puts some kind of human element into what now are more than likely empty derelict buildings...

very nice find.

What was it like to spend years in a mental institution, shut away from a society that wanted to distance itself from people it considered insane?

be nice to see a more balanced introduction sometimes though eh!
