Glore Psychiatric Museum
_
Once a ward of the St. Joseph State Hospital -- known or as we call as they called in back in 1899 Lunatic Asylum, built to keep them contained. And eventually turned into a prison.
The museum sits just outside those prison walls and fence. The original museum was started in 1967, by George Glore, an employee of the Missouri mental health system.
Some of the treatment for mental illness which is on display such as -- witch burnings and devil stomping; Bath of Surprise, a gallows platform that dumped a patient into icy water; and a working model of O'Halloran's Swing, in which strapped-in patients spun at up to 100 RPMs, completed by the giant patient treadmill.

Video recording taken with Brad inside using a laser temperature gauge. At first the temperature was all over the place and not moving at time but towards the end of the video we asked the spirit with us to raise the temp to 70.0 and back down to 68.0 if it wanted us to leave....so once the spirit responded we indeed left the morgue.
