Episode 27: In this chilling episode of Slice of the Paranormal, we uncover the shocking history and lingering hauntings of the Trenton Lunatic Asylum—the first institution built under the Kirkbride Plan, spearheaded by mental health reformer Dorothea Dix. While her mission was to create humane treatment for the mentally ill, the asylum soon fell into the horrors of overcrowding, abuse, and brutal medical experiments. One of its most infamous figures, Dr. Henry Cotton, believed madness stemmed from hidden infections—leading to gruesome procedures where patients had their teeth, organs, and even limbs removed in an effort to "cure" them. Many never survived his horrific treatments, and their restless spirits are said to haunt the asylum’s decaying halls. Some claim even Dr. Cotton’s ghost still roams the institution, tormented by the echoes of those he harmed. Is the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital still haunted by the souls of the abused? What can we learn from its dark past? Tune in as we explore the history, hauntings, and legacy of this infamous asylum. ⚠ Warning: This episode contains disturbing historical accounts of medical malpractice and may not be suitable for all listeners. #TrentonAsylum #HauntedHospitals #ParanormalPodcast #KirkbridePlan #GhostStories #MedicalHorror #TrueCrime #SliceOfTheParanormal
