In this episode of the Say What Again Billy? Podcast, Spooky Season continues as Billy and Bobby discuss one of New York’s more under-the-radar spooky locations: Kings Park Psychiatric Center.

Opened in the late 1800s on Long Island, Kings Park grew into a massive psychiatric facility that housed thousands of patients at its peak. Like many institutions of its time, overcrowding, understaffing, outdated treatments, and deteriorating conditions eventually became part of its troubled history before the facility ultimately closed in 1996.

Billy and Bobby dive into some of the darker stories surrounding Kings Park and compare them to other asylums and psychiatric hospitals throughout the United States. Many of these institutions seemed to follow the same blueprint for disaster: too many patients, too few staff members, questionable treatments, and conditions that became increasingly difficult to manage.

And where there is a dark history, paranormal stories usually follow. The guys also explore some of the reported hauntings and eerie legends connected to Kings Park and ask whether the suffering that took place there may have left something behind.
