The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum | Marks Unexplained World Podcast (Ep. 153)
The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum was a psychiatric hospital located in Weston, West Virginia and known by other names such as West Virginia Hospital for the Insane and Weston State Hospital.
The asylum was open to patients from October 1864 until May 1994.
The lack of proper care and access to sanitation led to a large number of deaths at the asylum, while the official count of patients who have died in the asylum is not available, research is currently underway to determine an accurate count, Weston State Hospital expert and historian, Titus Swan, estimates the number to be in or above the five figure range.
