So here it is, the soul and story of the week. The abandoned Insane asylum on Hospital Hill, built in 1856 is scheduled to finally be demolished sometime this spring in order to make room for a new hospital. There are 594 confirmed burials of former patients, but apparently there could be as many as 1,200 people buried here. The reason for the uncertainty is apparently because of incomplete/ or missing state records. All of the markers have sunk below the ground and are no longer visible.
God, the sheer size of this place is incredible! We went late last night, fearful of mostly the 'squatting homeless' that tend to shack up here, and the roaming security guards. We're off to visit again today, perhaps it won't be quite so terrifying in the daylight. Those who have broken into the asylum over the past couple of decades have taken the enclosed pictures.
