The Lunatic Fringe Part 1

from As the Skeleton Key Turns · host Skeleton Keyturns

In episode 3 of As the Skeleton Key Turns, we unlock the rusted doors of two of America’s most notorious asylums—places where the walls listened, the halls echoed, and sanity was often lost to time. From the looming stone corridors of Greystone Lunatic Asylum to the sprawling, shadow-soaked halls of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, these institutions were built under the ambitious Kirkbride Plan… and haunted by its failures. What was meant to heal instead became a nightmare of whispers, isolation, and restless spirits. Join us as we step inside—where history never sleeps, and neither do the dead.
