95. Salem History: Danvers State Hospital (part 2)

Let's wander deeper into the halls of Danvers State Hospital with part two of our three-part series. Things get a bit darker this week as the history takes a turn for the worse with lobotomies, electroshock therapy, and a distinct lack of funds. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, for a chat about how the facility took a turn for the worse. But was Danvers State really as bad as we thought it to be?

We also have a special little chat for you about an upcoming Broadway Play about Salem! Curious? So were we. Special thanks to Valentine and Caroline for your insight!
