Story

The Western State Hospital, in Hopkinsville, Kentucky which was established in 1854 as the Western Kentucky Lunatic Asylum, is an inpatient center for the treatment of mental illness. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. It had a patient population as high as 2,200 by 1950. Improved medications for treatment of mental disorders allowed de-institutionalization and a decrease in inpatient numbers. The inpatient population as of 2004 was 220, from 34 counties in Western Kentucky. Its three facilities employed 650 workers in 2004. Many stories of paranormal activity has been recorded in the upcoming book Hauntings of the Western Lunatic Asylum by author Steve E. Asher.

this place stinks. i dropped my 65 year old father off so hed stop using all the hot water in my house. i came back two weeks later to see if he had learned his lesson and he defecated over himself so much it stained his skin brown. its been an adjustment to us as a family but it has affected his mental state so far that he now speaks in slang and demands we call him jerome.

Sadly I am only 20 years old and been there three times this year in a three month period.. the staff don't care about the patients. My doctor his name is Doctor Buck he was in ward 602 he told me that since I was cutter that I would enjoy the albilfy shot cos of the pain. He also said I was a very beautiful young woman, I found that very unprofessional and very unapporate coming from a doctor towards a patient.. they gave us nothing to do but color, could only go outside where there was a gate more like a cage blocking us from seeing everything.. food was horrible. My roommate on a daily fought with the nurses cause they wouldn't listen.. only if you are on the one on one would a staff pay any attention to you.. last time I went on March 23, 2016 I tricked the staff into letting me go.. the key is to tell them what they want to hear.. they don't care, they're way over crowded and way understaffed.. a staff member don't remember his name but he came in my room one night and tried to sexual assault me I screamed for Mrs. Anna and he lost his job.. but she talked me into not reporting it to the police.. very unclean place

I just received a phone call about my sister. She has been in Western State for a couple of weeks. They suddenly released her without warning. They said come and get her or we will put her in a taxi. When they got there to get her they were putting many of the patients into taxis and sending them on their way. They give the paperwork to my sister instead of her husband. She is just as paranoid as she was and will not let anyone know what is going on. Nobody knows what medicine she is supposed to be on and she wouldn't take it anyway. They refused to get them a doctor to talk to and nothing has been resolved. The situation at home is still dangerous and I guess the only thing they could consider was that Christmas is next week. I wish we had read the other review earlier.
