Abandoned: Echoes of the Past

Abandoned: Echoes of the Past takes readers on a visual journey into the present-day state of three of America's abandoned psychiatric hospitals. Neglected, forgotten, and slowly deteriorating over the years, these hospitals now stand as a shadow of what they once were. Their foreboding exteriors entice visitors, often provoking thoughts of what stories could still be lingering inside the hospital walls. The hospitals now serve as an eerie, haunting, yet captivating reminder of their often-tormented histories. The images captured by historian and photographer Christie Seyglinski are emotive, thought-provoking, and haunting, as they provide a glimpse into the forgotten history and state of ruin inside these once remarkable hospitals. From once-impressive grounds to their present state of neglect and ruin, Abandoned: Echoes of the Past takes readers on a photographic journey inside these imposing structures.
