Hidden areas of the State Lunatic Asylum in Harrisburg PA.

Start of a new series exploring historic areas hidden around the state of Pennsylvania. If you know of a little known, hidden location, please send it my way. The Harrisburg State Hospital was created as the Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital and Union Asylum for the Insane in 1845. Between 1893 and 1912, the campus was rebuilt following the "Cottage Plan." The movie, Girl Interrupted was filmed here in 1999. Some signs were left after the filming and are still there today. The Hospital closed on January 27, 2006. #movielocation #abandonedasylum #girlinterrupted #hiddenhistory #abandoned #angelinajolie #brittanymurphy #wynonaryder #claymoore #psychiatrichospital #pennsylvaniahistory #harrisburghistory #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #sociopath
