点评:My Husband and I decided we needed a Morbid Curiosity trip so we decided to travel from Eastern Tenn to Weston to visit the Trans Allegheny Insane Asylum. We were greeted by Asylum staff and led us to a waiver to sign for the 3 tours we wanting to take. Paranormal, 1st Floor and Criminal Insane tours. Our Tour guides were Cayleigh, Nick and Bryce. They were very thorough on their knowledge to the Asylum. Thanks for making the trip memorable.
The hospital started construction back in 1858, 1st patient arrived 1864 and construction completed 1881 and operated until 1994. The hospital is know for its history and Paranormal activity. There are many patients that are mentioned who were housed there over the years that are known to make their presence through, slaming doors, laughing, shuffling of feet, running and playing with toys. Gifts and Tokens are left by visitors. We even left one for Lily an 8 year old girl. The Doctors and Nurses quarters were in the main building until such time there was an overflow of patients, then they had to move to other builings. The tours took us to other buildings on the property that housed the Criminally insaned, men and women's wards as well as laboratories where lobotomies, hydrotherapy were the main source of therapy during those times. Reinstrates were confinement cages, 5 point restraints, spinning chairs were used.
翻译:我和丈夫觉得有必要来一次充满“猎奇心理”的旅行,于是决定从田纳西州东部前往韦斯顿,参观跨阿勒格尼精神病院。医院工作人员热情接待了我们,并让我们签署免责协议,以便参加我们想体验的三项导览项目:灵异现象之旅、一楼参观之旅以及罪犯与精神病患者参观之旅。我们的导游是凯莉、尼克和布莱斯,他们对这家精神病院的历史与背景了如指掌。感谢你们让这次旅行如此难忘。
这座医院的建设始于1858年。第一位病人于1864年入住,医院建筑于1881年完工,并一直运营至1994年。这家医院以其悠久的历史以及种种超自然现象而闻名。多年来,曾有不少病人在此接受治疗;据说他们的灵魂至今仍活跃在院内,表现为关门声、笑声、脚步声,甚至有人看到他们在玩耍、玩玩具。访客们也会留下礼物与小纪念品。我们甚至还为一位名叫莉莉的8岁小女孩留下了礼物。起初,医生和护士的住处设在主楼里;后来由于病人数量激增,他们不得不搬到其他建筑中。参观过程中,我们被带到了园区内的其他建筑,那里设有收治精神失常病人的男病房和女病房,还有实验室——在那个年代,脑叶切断术和水疗是主要的治疗方法。当时使用的约束措施包括禁闭笼、五点式约束带以及旋转椅。
