I worked at Twin Valley Mental Health Hospital (The old geriatric hospital branch of the old asylum) in the early 2000's. Right behind the hospital is another graveyard that the public is unable to access. There are hundreds of more graves there. To the right of that graveyard is a maximum-security lock down mental health facility that houses the most violent offenders. So, because of the security risks it's inaccessible. I have visited the graveyards you visited only the grass was three feet high then. Thanks for the video. And I do have a picture of the asylum that burned in 1868.

There are 3 of these cemeteries all about a 1/4 mile from each other. All are accessible by car. One is off Harper and McKinley Ave. Rocky road by the freeway overpass on Harper. The other 2 are off Buckeye Pkwy off Broad St. Some people say they're hard to find, but they're not. And another untrue thing is people say you have to have to go on foot. All 3 you can get to by car and right to the gate of each cemetery. There are some homeless people in the area of the Harper Rd one so keep that in mind.
