Asylum Games

The concept of asylum for people who were considered "distracted" started in the late 17th century with most patients being free to roam the confines of the dedicated building, but those considered dangerous or disturbed were often chained to prevent harming themselves or others. Throughout the 1800s the number of asylums grew exponentially, not least, it is conjectured because of the vast sums of money offering such care could earn their owners. Inevitably such asylums became targets of whispering campaigns and fear with many of a paranormal disposition sure that the horrors that occurred within their walls had left a psychic imprint.
