4,081 Comments for Norwich State Hospital

Excuse me double posting, but as I was saying. I was watching Celebrity Paranormal Project, and they called it Warson Asylum. They had a nurse talking about the incidents, and this, and that. I honestly think that if it were that known for it's torture, and cruelty. Well, I don't think it would have taken this long for someone to speak up, none the less over a computer, and without a way of leaving a real name. The pictures are beautiful, and I imagine plenty of suffering to the patients happened, but it's happened more so in houses, bedrooms, and down the street.

I have many more photos of the wards, theater, bowling alley, and other places that I haven't gotten to posting online yet

The next "Celebrity Paranormal Project "was filmed here. They refer to it as Warson Asylum. I've lived in Norwich all my life and have never heard it called that.

I would also like to know the truth what was done to patients at the hospital. I heard there is a doctor coming forward doing a public access TV show on the history of the hospital. It wouldnt surprise me if the doctors abused the patients because that was commonplace at that time.

I assume this photo was taken in the Admin building. Too bad they cant open up the buildings for tours.

Motts, planning on a trip back to NSH in near future? Would be interested to see photos of the adminstrator's offices, morgues, tunnels, power plant, employee's club house, cottages, doctors homes, and dont forget Pond View!

This looks similar to the windows from the NSH on the Norwich line - one of the first buildings of the whole campus...built even before the tunnels.

I want to know if any other areas of the hospital are haunted and whether anyone has been in Kettle or Lab buildings lately and how would they be accessed. How do you access the tunnels underneath Salmon building? Anyone have any pics of the boat docks and what were they used for? I assume transport of oil for the power plant. If so e-mail me smilingcorey@yahoo.com

Is that Sam for real? I read on the guestbook someone wrote they worked there also and if you go in the tunnels you will never be seen again.

your site has prompted me to do some exploring of my own this weekend, (carmera in tow) of course, I drive by these ruins ever day, and have always wondered.....

What is really disturbing is the comment made by Sam "fists". Are you saying that you partook in the abuse of these patients? Does anyone else want to investigate the truth or falsities of this statement? This has come to the attention of another web site altogether (your comment) because of the attention NSH is getting with Ghost Hunters and the reality show, Celebrity Paranormal Project. Apparently they wanted to or filmed in this location.

i think it great that utopia is comming i cant wait

It -is- rather depressing that this historical place is going to be torn down and turned into an amusement park. At the same time, it's disappointing, that some people care more about raking in cash from poor sods paying ten dollars for a can of soday instead of preserving pieces of our history that, once gone, cannot be restored.

And to whoever has the argument that Norwich needs some entertainment. I point you across the Thames River, there's a friggin' casino over there. Oh, and don't forget about the -other- casino that's close to Norwich. So there, 2 casinos and you want more entertainment? What, pray tell, is wrong with you?

That would be a great wallpaper!
