Danvers State Hospital - Danvers, MA

Happy Halloween B-oo's Crew! This Halloween we travel to Massachusetts to visit the worlds most notorious asylum, Danvers State Hospital! A Kirkbride building known as "The Kirkbride, The Witches Castle, Hell House on the Hill and The Castle on the Hill". There are many places that claim to be "The most haunted," but Danvers, being the inspiration for H.P Lovecraft's Arkham Sanitorium and then becoming the model for Arkham Asylum in Batmnan, seems to hold that title!
 Also known as the birthplace of the prefrontal lobotomy, Danvers was built to be a gentle care facility, but by the 1930's that would all change. Straightjackets, electroshock therapy, hydro therapy, lobotomies and many other "treatments" were used here....including the "Spread Eagle Therapy!"
This is truly the house of horrors. SO get ready B-oo's Crew, because this one will have you re-thinking going to the hospital!
