Byberry... the mere name sends shivers down one's back.  A modern day horror story where unspeakable things happened, myriads of movies and TV shows (Asyym, the second season of American Horror Story always comes to mind) have been spawned by this hospital alone.
And how? Why did something that started in 1907 supposedly as the model and at the forefront of the new age of medical facilities for treatment of the mentally "indigent" grow into something that became the ultimate in folklore for all that went wrong with psychiatric world, including unspeakable horrors that grew legendary until it became nothing more than a broken down facility made for fodder of ghost stories and haunted houses.
Also joining is  Carolynn Kingyens who tells a beautiful poem "The Northerners" in place of the artistry of a past patient, Anna Jennings, who became one of the most INfamous of patients for all the wrong reasons.
Also at the end, we discuss Byberry and how it affected both of us as Northeast Philadelphia Girls who lived there at the forefront of it all.
Byberry - one of those places where one name says it all.
