Id love more information on the old Columbus State Hospital for the Insane that used to be in the hill top. Ive exhausted most of the sources I can find online and would love to see what information you could offer!

Most of those records have been destroyed. A lot of bad experiments happened there. For example women that were doing postpartum depression my nanny told me were treated so badly that they became in sane from being there, never came out of there, due to people that wanted to keep them there or experiment been down there on people that we’re just so cruel . I have a great grandmother that endured horrible treatment there for postpartum depression and never ever was the same again. My little sister and I have done a lot of research on this place trust me it’s something you just kind of want to look past. The facts are they brought in dirty scientists on purpose to do their experiments there on people that didn’t deserve it at all.
