Photo 13 May Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. Opened in 1864. Closed in the 1980s. One of the largest insane asylums in the US. We just took an awesome ghost hunting tour. Met jack the cook. Creeptastic. Some of the reasons for admission: Brain fever. Disappointed affection. Fall from horse. Fell from horse in war. Fits and desertion of husband. Laziness. Masturbation and syphilis. Masturbation for 30 years. Loss of arm. Over action of the mind. Vicious vices in early life. Greediness. Religious enthusiasm. Medicine to prevent conception. Gastritis. Ill treatment by husband. Moral sanity. Parents were cousins. Yep…you read em right. Ghost hunting, commenced. Thanks, West Virginia.
