<p>The Mississippi State &ldquo;Lunatic Asylum&rdquo; opened its doors in 1855, right before the Civil War. That timing would shape the next 80 years of the old asylum&rsquo;s life. Almost 30,000 patients would pass through its doors. We know some of their stories, but what about the old asylum&rsquo;s?

And Dr. Jennifer Mack reveals that not everything that got buried in the Yazoo Clay stayed a secret.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
