Georgia's Abandoned State Mental Asylum/ Milledgeville, Georgia, known as the Central State Hospital

Want to visit? The abandoned buildings of Central State Hospital, now in a state of neglect and decay, once comprised the largest mental health facility the world had ever seen, with more than 200 buildings on 2,000 acres.Georgia's state mental asylum located in Milledgeville, Georgia, now known as the Central State Hospital (CSH), has been the state's largest facility for treatment of mental illness and developmental disabilities. In continuous operation since accepting its first patient in December 1842, the hospital was founded as the Georgia State Lunatic, Idiot, and Epileptic Asylum, and was also known as the Georgia State Sanitarium and Milledgeville State Hospital during its long history. By the 1960s, the facility had grown into the largest mental hospital in the world (contending with Pilgrim Psychiatric Center in New York). Its landmark Powell Building and the vast, abandoned 1929 Jones Building stand among some 200 buildings on two thousand acres that once housed nearly 12,000 patients.

Milledgeville is a really strange place with quite a few weird things to happen there over the years including an egyptian cult and a murder involving a voodoo doll that was found in the hospital just a few years ago. There's also a lot of tunnels that run underneath that compound.

Yes, I've heard about the underground tunnels. It's very creepy and, yes, strange. 😳
