Cabinet of Curiosities 3 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781892523938)

CABINET OF CURIOSITIES 3 THE HAUNTED HISTORY OF AMERICA'S PRISONS, HOSPITALS & ASYLUMS IN 20 OBJECTS When compiling a list of America's most haunted places, prisons, hospitals and asylums are among the most prominent locations to be found. The amount of trauma, pain, and terror experienced by the men and women locked behind cold steel bars, trapped in beds that will undoubtedly be where they take their last breath, or shuffling down corridors in a state of confusion and madness leaves an indelible impression behind. The horrible events that occurred to send people to such places, combined with the terrible things that happened behind the walls, often cause the spirits of dead to linger behind. America's prisons, hospitals and asylums can be terrifying places - for those in this world and the next. In this new collection of relics from Troy Taylor's Cabinet of Curiosities, readers will take a startling and often unnerving look behind the locked doors and high stone walls of the most haunted prisons, hospitals and asylums in America. But this is not just another book on haunted places, but a chilling history of the items that will be forever linked to crime and insanity in our country's history. Each object - from the mundane to the inexplicable - tells a lost, forgotten or forbidden tale, revealing the eerie background of locations the reader only thought they knew From cell door keys to a wooden gun, a plaster head, electric chair, cooking spoon, autopsy table, lobotomy tool, scalpel, an unexplainable stain that refuses to go away, and much more This is the scariest entry in the series so far, but come inside and take a look around - just be careful not to let the door lock behind you on your way into the cell
