In 1962, Dr. Hans Unger recorded a rare three-LP set of interviews with patients at the Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane, capturing unfiltered conversations about isolation, delusion, faith, and resilience. Drawing from these recordings, newspaper clippings, and the asylum’s history, we revisit the voices he preserved — and the haunting events that followed. Based on original research from the Ladd School Historical Society and Archives.
