The Basement Full of Forgotten Souls: Oregon State Hospital (Oregon)  
Podcast: Haunted American History
Published On: Tue Jul 14 2026
Description: For more than a century, the Oregon State Hospital has stood at the center of Oregon's mental health system. It was built with revolutionary ideas about healing through sunlight and fresh air, but decades of overcrowding transformed those ideals into underground tunnels, forgotten patients, and one of the deadliest accidental poisonings in American hospital history. Later came forced sterilizations, abandoned cremated remains hidden in a basement, Hollywood's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and ghost stories that still echo through the old wards. Tonight, we uncover the complicated history of Oregon's most infamous hospital.   HAH DISCORD - https://discord.com/invite/bJdbpH3hQm       YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory   TikTok - @hah_podcast hauntedamericanhistory.com       Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠       LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH       Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334   AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S   Ebook   GOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1   KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_   SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316       !!
