this week, we peel back the layers of America's most historically significant psychiatric institutions. Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg, Virginia.
While our focus this episode is on the hospital's history, its colonial roots, reform movements, and modern-day transformation, we do banter about a couple of spirits who may still wander the hospital. It does make you wonder what other energies linger in a place that has seen centuries of suffering and hope.
Tune in for a thoughtful mix of historical deep dive and just a hint of haunted curiosity.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
