Episode 347: The History and Legends of the Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital

Oct 14

The Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital, a public hospital in New Jersey operated for 67 years providing long-term treatment for adults and children, has been riddled with allegations of abuse, neglect and hospital escapees. The hospital was demolished in 2015, but to this day, some say the land the hospital once sat on remains haunted and legend of a murderous farmer occupying the slaughterhouse is still told among those who visit.
