Episode 144 - Cresson Sanatorium and Prison - Part 1

Mystery History Podcast

In this episode we talk about the history of Cresson Sanitorium and Prison, where Alli did a paranormal investigation over Memorial Day weekend.

This facility is a paranormal trifecta starting as a tuberculosis sanitorium, then changing into a mentally handicapped hospital, finally turning into a correctional facility.

We discuss some famous prisoners that were housed here along with the terrible atrocities that took place in solitary confinement ultimately leading to it's closure in 2013.
