Trenton State Hospital

Originally named New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum, has a long history of helping mentally ill patients, and harming them.

Opened in 1848 and welcomed 86 patients. The first superintendent, Horace Buttolph, was a good man, and provided an excellent care for the people in this care. 

Then dr. Henry Cotton took over and the horror began. He began his tenue in 1907, Cotton thought infections caused mental illness. 

To test his theories he removed his patients teeths, limbs or any body parts with the slightest sign of infection.

He continued this practice until 1924, when Cotton was put to a review by a peer board. A well respected psychiatrist, Phyllis Greenacre, provides critical reviews and questioned Cotton's work.

In 1925, the New Jersey State Senate held an investigation and found the doctor provided cutting edge treatment and approved his work. He continued killing patients until 1930, when he retired. The hospital staff continued to remove teeth, limbs and organs through the 1950s.

After his death in 1933 a review found his medical procedures killed 45 o/0 ofhis patients.

When the hospital discontinued his gruesome methods, many wings were abandoned and left to fall into disrepair. Still a fully operational psychiatric hospital and a correctional facility remain on the grounds. Currently, the facility is facing its fair share of controversy.

An analysis of State hospital data (by the express-times) from the 2005 through 2010 shows Trenton recorded the highest rates of violence and patient restraint compared to New Jersey's other state psychiatric  hospitals.
Department of human resources shows that 112(71 o/*)  of the incidents occured in the Trenton State Hospital

Space mysteries

I just realized that I always post about earth mysteries, and there is always things related to real stories, mysteries we have on this planet, but...

I always was very interested about space, planets, galaxies, black matter.... And I think that there are a lot of people who like it too, and so from now on, I will add a point in my list and we will explore science mysteries together.

First, and I think one of the most popular things to talk about is, the Black Hole.

What is a Black Hole? How it works?

Is a region in space that exhibit a high gravitation level, that even planets, galaxies, stars and even the light, can't escape from it.

In fact, a Black Hole it's doesn't visible as a thing, such a planet, or star, to explain it, the Black Hole is a part of nothing, a black region, in the space, that is noticeble by a rare activity of the planets, their movement is faster that the usual, because of the high level of gravity, Black Hole just call them like a vacuum cleaner, that makes them move faster by the axis. Just throw a big ball to the bed, and then put around small balls, you will see that the big one attracts the small balls by the gravity. 

   

Goldfield hotel: paranormal activities

I heard about this hotel recently, and this was really interesting, because of using real cameras and sound.

So first about the hotel, a bit of history:

Is a historic building located at the southeast corner at the Crook Avenue (U.S), Goldfield, Esmeralda County, Nevada.

So, what exactly is it that makes Goldfield Hotel haunted?

 Well, according to legend, room 109 is haunted by a pregnant prostitute named Elizabeth. Supposedly, she was chained to the radiator by George Winfield, the hotel’s original owner. He didn’t want anyone to know he had gotten her pregnant and was afraid she’d tell, ruining his reputation. After giving birth, Elizabeth was left to die in the room and her newborn was disposed of by being thrown down the mine shaft, which the hotel was built over. Since that incident, many people have reported seeing her in room 109. They’ve also felt her presence. Several people have even heard loud cries from a baby. Elizabeth may be a well-known ghost at the hotel, but she’s not the only one. Ghosts of small children playing on the lobby staircase have been reported, in addition to a ghost that randomly stabs hotel visitors. 

Even the ghost of George Winfield has been seen.

Many people, who went to analyse this place after, in our century guys, went with cameras to pretend film something rare. And it was, by sound and some happenings by filming.

Dark asylums

Hello, my dear audience, and hope you will waiting for me...!!

Today I will talk about several hospitals, my favourite part od the dark world! ( hope your too...)

1. Letchworth Village

After testing the polio vaccine, this mental hospital sits in ruin.

It was a pacefull, small town fell, and in 1911 is was choosen to be the home of a progressive experiment: an utopian village, where the mentally ill could fins calm and refuge. Nowadays we seem it like a sinister place, but from the start, it was a progressive place: there were a power station, shops, sprawling grounds and places of worships.

Despite such od goos intentions, unfortunately Letchworth Village was almost immediately overcrowded, with the majority of its patients being children. It seemed to follow a trajectory from a "noble-facility-for-healing", to "abusive-humam-rights-horror-show" to finally "haunting-ruins".

The facility was up-front about its intentions to use the patients bas guinea pigs in clinical trials. The most camous case was the experimental polio vaccine, which was successfully tested on an eight-year old boy in 1950.

It was finally closeď in 1996, after years of reports of abuse, neglect and abysmal conditions. We will never know what truly happened in this hospital, but there is an evidence about a mile from Letchworth, a small cementery hidden in the forest off Call Hollow Rood, most of the graves are about the size of a child. In plan of names, the graves are merely numbered.

2. Alcatraz's Off Limits hospital

With an operating room, psychiatric cells, wards with beds, and other resources, a visiting surgeon and specialists gave regular care to the maximum security prisoners, without risking their escape. Medical care was one of the only four basic rights granted to pisoners.

3. Gonjiam Pshychiatric Hospital

It has been called one of the most haunted places on South Korea, and CNN has claimed it was "one of the most freakiest places in the world". Gonjiam was forced to close mainly sue to economic downturns, insanitary conditions and problems with the sewage disposal system, not due to insane doctors or murderous patients.
The buildings stand complete with rushed out machines, hospital remnants, trash, and filthy  mattresses, adding to its creepy and haunted reputation.
