Three miles from downtown Indianapolis, a manicured “campus” hides a mass grave and a machine that once swallowed thousands of lives: Central State Hospital, the Asylum of the Seven Steeples.In this episode, we trace the utopian Kirkbride dream as it curdles into overcrowding, malariotherapy, brain jars, tunnels, abuse scandals, and redevelopment built on top of the dead—until the soil itself spits bones back into the daylight.Some places don’t get haunted.
