Ep. 56 Danvers State Hospital

from Oy with the Terror Podcast · host Oy with the Terror Podcast

Welcome back! Today Sandra and I combined efforts yet again the dive into the horrific history of Danvers State Hospital. Think of One Flew Over a Cuckoo's Nest, but without Jack Nicholson. Hear about the severe lack of funding and resources provided by the state of Massachusetts. This ultimately led to a sharp decline in the patients' care. The hospital fell into such bad shape that patients were buried in nearby cemeteries with numbers as markers instead of their own names.  Sandra talks about the ghosts of Danvers State Hospital. From seeing creepy shadows, to hearing disembodied voices. It is no secret that a place with such a sad history would still have patients that have not checked out yet.
