- 2: Beechworth Asylum: Human Experiments
Like many asylums before the twentieth century, Beechworth has a dark history. So little was known about mental health then, that most of the treatments administered to patients would be considered torture by today's standards. Shackles, chains, electrocution, lobotomies, being submerged in cold water being purged and bled were just a few of the many things patients endured, and according to records, most of those admitted to Beechworth never made it out alive, in fact, it’s reported over 9000 patients died while staying at the facility in the 128 years it was operational. Beechworth was ultimately decommissioned in 1995, but it remains, to this day in its original condition. It’s now known as a hotspot for paranormal activity as the ghosts and spirits of the mistreated patients continue to roam the halls today, still unable to escape, even in death.

23 min - 1: Trapped Souls: The Iroquois Theatre
This week I am taking you to the Iroquois Theatre where a horrific fire broke out during a packed show just after Christmas. Six hundred souls, mostly women, and children, were tragically killed in the deadliest single-building fire in US history. The theatre has been rebuilt and rebranded a few times over the years, but one thing has always remained, and that's the ghosts and spirits that are said to still haunt the area today.
