The Terrifying Truths Behind America’s Disastrous Deinstitutionalization Movement [Radio Vampiro]

This week’s Bedtime Story on Radio Vampiro introduces a recurring theme: Walls Still Scream. It’s a descent into the forgotten corridors of America’s most terrifying institutions—insane asylums. Through documented history, survivor accounts, government cover-ups, and spiritual residue left behind, host Vampiro peels back the rusted doors and asks the question no one dares: Were these places built to heal… or to hide evil?

From 18th-century medical theories and Enlightenment experiments… to electric chairs, chemical lobotomies, and unspeakable abuse—this series explores the underworld of psychiatric history without flinching. Discover the truth behind New York’s disastrous deinstitutionalization, the screams that still echo through the walls of abandoned hospitals, and the shadowy rise of modern pharmaceutical control.

This isn’t about ghost stories.

This is about what we did to people—and how we’re still doing it.

Abandon all comfort. The truth is not safe here.

Listener discretion is not advised—it’s required.
