Electroshock, ice baths, straightjackets… and silence.

In this chilling episode of Vivid Nightmares, we step inside the South’s most infamous asylums and state hospitals. Once meant to heal, these institutions became nightmarish places of confinement, cruelty, and—some say—eternal unrest.

We uncover the disturbing histories and ghostly legacies of six forgotten facilities, where the cries of the lost may still linger in the halls:

• 🏚️ Central State Hospital – Georgia
• 🧠 Old Bryce Hospital – Alabama
• 🕯️ Lakeland Asylum – Mississippi
• 🩺 Tennessee State Hospital – Tennessee
• 🧊 Florida State Hospital – Florida
• 🫥 Eastern Louisiana State Hospital – Louisiana

With a mix of historical records, firsthand accounts, and haunting legends… this is one descent into madness you won’t forget.
