This time around, Renni Pollock, host of COMPANY MOVE joins me to discuss her Hometown nut house, The Peoria State Hospital in Illinois. Its history is actually one of inspiration & good, ethical treatment during a time when State Hospitals were notorious for basically torturing their patients. And of course, it's haunted too. We also discuss the Dammasch State Hospital in Oregon, which has a much more sordid past & downfall but what exists on its former grounds is interesting to say the least.

STEVEX is also back at the end of the episode to give his Denver Airport Update!
