An Obsession

Okay so I'm a stumbler addict and upon stumbling one day I came across an amazing website. It was called "The lives they left behind" "suitcases from a state hospital attic".
What it's about
The story revolves around an insane asylum or by today's standards a mental institution. That was opened sometime around the turn of the century in upstate New York. It was home to over 54,000 patients by the time it had closed in 1995.
After it had closed it was discovered "in the attic" over 400 suitcases had been left behind, belonging to patience.
Here is the webpage
They put the suitcases on display in a museum in New York City and over 300,000 people came to see it.
And there is a book written too. And I just got my copy in today. The authors are Darby Penny and Peter Stastny. In the book they took 10 stories from 10 separate suitcases and wrote about each one.

It just absolutely fascinates me. I've always had this sorta macabre persona about me.
I mean for instance:
I love insane asylums - the older one with a history
I have an obsession with cemeteries
I used to watch "Faces of Death" videos
I love anything Horror on DVD
I'm obsessed with Death (not my death but with death itself)

Weird I know..but I'm not a satanist, a witch, or a pagan or anything like that...I'm just any ordinary housewife with too much time on her hands. Don't worry my only child is 19 so this won't affect him.

So anyway go to Amazon and buy the book.
