Some died peacefully, but there are others, like the women thrown from one of the towers by her fellow patients, that haunt the imagination and, according to one visitor, the main building.

Fantastic shot Philip! Thanks for the info on the asylum. Before I read that I thought that this must have been a really bad place to end up in!
