This is the second part of a two part episode, make sure to listen to part one first (we pick things back up at The Waverly Hills Sanatorium and the beginning of the episode won't make sense without listening to part one first)!Ali finishes telling Ash about the horrors at The Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky, and talks about two of America's other most haunted asylums. The gals take you to Pennhurst State School and Hospital in Spring City, Pennsylvania, and Eloise Psychiatric Hospital in Westland, Michigan. Shock therapy, hydrotherapy, lobotomies, unsanitary conditions, violence, abuse, corruption, ableism, mentalism, ghosts and more!
