This Creepy Asylum In Georgia Is Still Standing…And Still Disturbing
One of Georgia’s most infamous asylums–Georgia’s Central State Hospital in Milledgeville–is still a point of fascination for many Georgia residents. Once the largest mental asylum in the state, its empty halls are quite disturbing….yet fascinating. Look at these 25 photos inside of its walls:
Central State Hospital opened in 1842 as Georgia's first psychotic hospital.
Its names include "Georgia State Lunatic, Idiot, and Epileptic Asylum" and it was also known as the "Georgia State Sanitarium and Milledgeville State Hospital."
The hospital closed in 2010, however those interested in learning more about this asylum's history can visit the Central State Hospital Museum in Milledgeville.
Aren’t these photos simply haunting? There are so fascinating! Thank David Scaglione who shot these amazing photos of this haunted, deserted place. He truly captured the essence of Central State Hospital. Do you know of any other abandoned asylums here in Georgia? Tell us about it in the comments below.
