The Missouri State Pen operated from 1836-2004 and is reportedly haunted AF. With all of the emotions, suicides and murders within the walls for 168 years, it is not surprising!The prison held 4,900 inmates at its peak, meaning some cells held 8-10 people at a time.39 individuals were gassed there and the last one was executed by lethal injection. Out of the 40 who were put to death there was one female named Bonnie Heady.https://www.missouripentours.com/https://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/state_news/buried-prison-cells-unearthed-at-state-penitentiary-are-reminders-of-brutality/article_e8c7db66-fc3d-11ea-ad44-2b9ebcc54c9e.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONr5EKxOZSA&list=TLPQMTAwNzIwMjTLnHJaOGrodg&index=2https://www.facebook.com/missouripentourshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzaxIWpzbWIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgJ0mYVKpKQ (VR Headset!!)LinksTheme Song⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWoWttNbr5o&list=TLPQMjcwMzIwMjQjjwdgOsOupA&index=2⁠ SoulProdMusicOur Patreon⁠patreon.com/HistoryandMysteryKCPOD⁠ Get access to bonus episodes for $2 a monthSocialshttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/laura4884⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/988442048784892/⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historyandmysterykcpod/⁠[email protected]/@HistoryandMysteryinKansasCity Hosted on Acast.

We went on a field trip!The State Hospital for the Insane No 2 opened in November of 1874 just east of the city of St. Joseph Missouri. It started out with 275 beds and only 25 patients and was open for 127 years. The patients worked the land, tended to crops and livestock and the hospital only had to buy seasonings. In the early 1950’s the asylum had almost 3,000 beds and housed a variety of individuals. They had the criminally insane, people who were just depressed to the people who were just annoying to their relatives.Theme Song⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWoWttNbr5o&list=TLPQMjcwMzIwMjQjjwdgOsOupA&index=2⁠ SoulProdMusicOur Patreon⁠patreon.com/HistoryandMysteryKCPOD⁠Socialshttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/laura4884⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/988442048784892/⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historyandmysterykcpod/⁠[email protected]/@HistoryandMysteryinKansasCity Hosted on Acast.
