Indiana's Central State hospital for the insane was built in the 1800's, and it became the site of patient abuse that ultimately resulted in its getting shut down in the 1990's.  But what about those approximately 100 years where patients did live...and die...there?  Recently, the city tore down the hospital and the grounds are now the site of apartments and student housing as part of a multi-million dollar effort to build up that part of the city.

There are a few things they couldn't tear down, though.  Like the unmarked cemetery, for instance.  Or the five miles of underground tunnels where the most disruptive patients were kept shackled to the walls in chains.  Yeah, that's all still there.

Join us this week as we talk about the ghosts of Central State Hospital and some of the hauntings surrounding this site of pain and torment. 

We also talk about movies you can start watching now to get you in the Halloween spirit a little early.

Stay scared, folks.
