Tucked away along the shores of Seneca Lake in New York, the Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane once housed thousands of patients—many of whom never left. In this episode, we explore the haunting history of this massive institution, from its founding in 1869 to the eerie discovery of hundreds of abandoned suitcases decades later. Was Willard a place of care, or a prison for the unwanted? We’ll uncover stories of the people who lived—and died—behind its walls, and why its legacy still chills visitors today.
