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.

The higher we climbed, the more unbelievable this place became. From the upper levels of the abandoned arena, you can see just how massive it really is. Thousands of seats once surrounded this floor. Thousands of people once filled this building. Now, the arena sits completely silent.
