The Haunting History of Medfield State Hospital: Abandoned Asylum - THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 33

In the quiet town of Medfield, Massachusetts, a sprawling, abandoned campus tells a forgotten story. Join me as we explore the Medfield State Hospital, a place built on a revolutionary vision of "moral treatment" that ultimately became a tragic monument to a changing world. In this video, I dive into the fascinating history of this former asylum, from its pioneering design in the late 1800s to its eventual closure in 2003. I'll uncover how it went from a self-sufficient community of healing to an overcrowded institution struggling to survive. But the story doesn't end there. We also delve into the chilling paranormal legends that have made Medfield State Hospital a hotspot for ghost hunters. I'll explore the infamous "Weeping Woman" and the unsettling whispers reported in the old infirmary. This is Part 1 of a special 2-part series on MSH...
