#1 Welcome to Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital
Gonjiam is located in Gwangju, South Korea and is notorious for its ominous title as one of the creepiest places in the world. The place reeks of insanity, and we give you a behind the heavy metal doors look at this house for the crazy.
#2 Twenty Years of Mystery
The walls in Ganjiam Mental Hospital could tell stories that would make the bravest men cringe, and nearly twenty years ago its inhabitants deserted the premises. The reasons why are not completely clear, but the possible explanations are wide ranging and all ghoulish.
#3 The Inmates are Running the Asylum
The most popular tale explaining the desertion of Ganjiam is that the head doctor, who was insane himself, held his fellow crazies as experimental subjects, torturing them as he saw fit. He then fled to the United States some time around 1996, if you believe the story that is.
#4 Not Exactly a Welcome Home Party
The front gates at the former psych detention facility are good indicators of the type of people it caged in, draped with barbed wire and rusted orange. It is now closed to the public, but some still manage to find their way inside.
#5 A World Wide Problem
The number of mentally ill in the world are only growing as we learn how to properly diagnose problems that were previously chalked up to "insanity" only. Seeing these type of mental hospitals are not only creepy and eerie, but reminders of how the crazies have been cast out from society, not treated properly.
