Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

Dark Windows Podcast Ep. 135: https://traffic.megaphone.fm/AOR3754755435.mp3?updated=1614296817 This week we are going to be talking about the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum or the Weston State Hospital in Weston, West Virginia. This hospital was over crowded and under funded with patients not being cared for properly which allowed for some terrible things to happen. It wasn't just the patients that harmed each other, the staff was also guilty of that too including a "Doctor" by the name of Walter Freeman who earned the nickname "The Father of Lobotomy" and he spent quite a bit of time there destroying peoples minds.
