For nearly 100 years, the institution was said to be a safe haven for the impoverished and disenfranchised.

In the 1890s, a cruel and sadistic overseer named William B. Cage took over the institution.
He was known to beat the inmates and he was even accused of chaining individuals in the basement rooms where he allowed them to starve as punishment for minor infractions.
Interestingly, all of the inmates who made these reports disappeared from the records.
Were they sent away, did they move or were they permanently silenced by Cage is uncertain.

Today, employees and guests report unexplained footsteps and many have witnessed full-bodied apparitions.
