"Nobody's Child" is the title of the book Marie Balter co-wrote about her life. She earned degrees from Salem State College and Harvard. She eventually ended up working at the Danvers State Hospital and founded the Balter Institute. Basically she dedicated her life to helping others with mental illnesses. A remarkable woman.

I just watched that movie and that's what has sent me down the rabbit hole. I just saw a documentary on here that she was featured in and they really painted Danvers as a horrific place. One guy spent his life in there simply because he couldn't speak English and people thought he was crazy and they would never get him a translator so he was literally held hostage.

@@josebro352 Actually the trials, the jails and the executions were held in Salem Town ( modern Salem, Proctor's Edge is where the hangings took place ). Also, people from Salem Town suffered from witchcraft hysteria, and the judges were all from Salem Town. The pattern of accusations is quite interesting cause it all starts in Salem Village, and spreads over to Salem Town and other places nearby ( Andover for example ). Salem Village is where everything started, Salem Town is where everything unfolded and where people started dying both for the executions and the rough time in the Salem prisons. Still today in a modern building in downtown Salem, you can find the plaque that marks the exact spots where the prisoners were kept, and commemorates the victims of those tremendous times who died in Jail or suffered from atrocious consequences ( see Dorothy Good ).

There are so many old beautiful buildings out there abandoned. Especially in the New England area. I wish more people (civilians) would invest in saving them.

I really appreciate how the patients’ names are all memorialized. In so many old asylums, there are just numbers, if anything at all. If y’all ever find yourselves in Dayton, Ohio, I strongly recommend Woodland Cemetery. There you’ll find graves of such luminaries as the Wright Brothers, Charles Kettering, Erma Bombeck, and even a Gypsy Queen. There’s also a famous grave of a little boy who drowned in a canal, along with the dog that tried to save him. People still leave toys at the grave to this day. I myself have two friends buried there. It’s a beautiful place. Thanks for another great video!

@@Marlaina I realize that. The one you see from Route 9 is the old one. The newer one and Whiting Forensic Institute is behind on the same campus. My friend’s daughter was making a film for school of the old buildings. It was dusk. Some lights were on, windows were smashed and knowing how psychiatric patients were treated in the old days, I have no doubt it is haunted. My MSW was tasked with getting patients out of the old building and into other placements. She still had the key. I really didn’t want to see it. One of the gallows humor statements about the hospital is if you think someone is acting silly or crazy you say, “Do you want to end up in Middletown?” That’s how it’s referred to. And Whiting Forensic Institute I wouldn’t go anywhere near. Think Hannibal Lechter. That’s who is in there.

The DHS grew quite infamous because it was home to the practice of the pre-frontal lobotomy in 1948. Much of what occurred in those "shuttered rooms" most likely revolved around electroshock therapy. There certainly is a very dark history surrounding this building. On a lighter note, I remember my dad driving us through the parking lot when I was a child shortly after the first bunch of residents had moved in (c. 2008). There was a resident who was leaving the premises in their car and I, idiotic to the invention of tinted windows, was tricked by my old man into believing that the car itself was haunted and was being driven by the ghost of a former patient. I remember going to school the next day and telling everyone the story haha!

Jessica and you were quite correct. What she had in her hand were the remnants of what were two golden dandelions that had gone to seed. In the state they were in when Jessica was holding them, they are known as dandelion clocks. They weren't quite ready to fly, that's why she was struggling to get them to. They are known as dandelion clocks in the UK, because with each blow it takes to free the seeds, you count 1 hour, so one hour = one o'clock in the afternoon, and so on. All the hours are daylight hours as, quite naturally, flowers don't bloom at night. In France, dandelions are called pis-en-lits (peas-on-lee) which translates as wet-the-beds. I believe that the French also call it "Lion's Mane" as the greenery directly under the golden flower resembles a lion's mane. But I'm just an amateur gardener! Hope that helps you both!

Another great informative video from you two, and wow, what a beautiful place. When you were both walking the hallways, I was half expecting you to turn a corner and little Danny Torrance from The Shining was peddling his tricycle towards you trying to get away from the Grady twin girls down at the other end of the hallway. 😱😄

This reminds me of Preston school for boys. Super cool old prison for kids. They give tours daily.

So surreal to see this place renovated and modernized. Session 9 is one of the most effectively frightening movies that was able to use a real abandoned location to it's fullest potential in any modern horror movie I can think of.

The Danvers Historical Society has a wealth of information. The original hospital was treating people and releasing them back into society beautifully then the State started dumping people here and overwhelmed the working system they had and turned it into a disaster. They were not prepared for the overload. The cemetery may seem small for all the residents but, people forget these people still had families and were buried in their family plots. Thank you for visiting, we like it here on the hill.

And, we where it said the end of the hallway, it was the end of the hallway. 🤣😂🤣 We love old beautiful buildings, too. Beautiful Fall scenery: living vicariously through you as I’m in Texas & still like summer here. Fall is my favorite month in the midwest where I grew up…& miss it terribly. My cousin in Maine sends me pressed Fall leaves from her 65 acre estate ❤ so lovely. I miss cozy hot drinks & soup. It is too hot here to enjoy it. Rain drizzles on umbrellas 🥰 (love & we don’t get that here; we get only killer storms or drought 😖). I saw those umbrellas at Lowes & thought it was a great price as they look huge (& our winter is pouring rain season)…thanks for showing it 😁. This journey has been a delight. I’m enjoying it. Cheers & next! 😂❤
