Fairfield Hills State Hospital New Town was originally owned by Connecticut Department of Mental Health and operated as a Newtown Psychiatric facility from 1931 to 1995 housing over 4000 patients, twenty doctors and fifty nurses.

The facility was erected to ease overspill from two other surrounding medical centres and was intended to be an institute of care. Red brick colonial style construction was completed in 1950 offering sixteen intake sectors over a vast campus.

Treatments used here included shock therapy, frontal lobotomy and hydrotherapy, all under the umbrella term ‘psychotherapy’.

But was this just acts of evil cleverly disguised?

In 1995 Gov John Rowland closed Fairfield Hills down, many facilities being deinstitutionalised due to high financial costs and overcrowding. Many speculated it was actively shut down due to inhuman treatments and severe abuse.

An underground tunnel connects to the hospital morgue and it is believed the site is actively haunted by spirits of those who died here.

Inhumane barbaric treatments which often led to death is bound to result in some truly disturbing phenomena.

Many who visit this location have reported desperate cries for help, guttural screams and disembodied voices literally swirl around them and dark flitting shadow figures believed to be those unfortunate patients in spirit.

Trauma will residually tie a spirit to a location so it comes as no surprise that this premises is heavy with supernatural density.

Can you imagine being labelled criminally insane, but you know you’re not, being locked in an institution and treated like a human lab rat?

There’s no escape. You’re NEVER getting out! Trauma at its highest level was suffered here.

In 2004 the town of Newtown acquired the property from the City of Connecticut and conserved it as a municipal building for cultural and academic use which even houses a Volunteer Ambulance Corps campus today.

No matter how much you alter a structure, sometimes the grasp of evil is so tight, it defies everything no matter what colour the paintwork.

Point of interest : the building was due to be featured in a film The Madmans Tale in 2007 but legal proceedings prohibited production.
