NEW ENGLAND URBEX (INSANE ASYLUM)

The Norwich State Hospital, also known as the Norwich Insane Asylum, was founded in 1868 and served as a mental health facility for over a century. Once housing thousands of patients, it became infamous for its poor conditions and controversial treatments. The hospital closed in 1996, and its eerie, decaying buildings now stand as a haunting reminder of the dark history of mental health care in America.
