Madness in the Halls

Description

The author of Haunted Prisons and Haunted Asylums spent years researching both the history and paranormal tales associated with mental institutions. During the writing of previous books the author discovered and archived hundreds of old photographs of horrific procedures and treatments of the afflicted in sanitariums, as well as tuberculosis wards and genetic sterilization institutions. Primarily composed of turn of the century photography, this companion book to Haunted Asylums is a stark and sobering look at how those in charge of caring for mentally ill patients committed unspeakable acts far worse than what the residents already contended with before entering the doors of these institutions.
