But like they it's you'll get in big trouble now. So I don't want to send anyone there. But if you were to get permission to be on these grounds, you would see that there's depressions in the field. That's the cemetery where these people were buried side by side, like hundreds of them. It's so difficult. It's weird you keep saying that. I know.

And they're all like side by side in rows, and it's like erosion is happening, so it's starting to show where the graves are. Oh, man. It's very spooky. A woman named Tina Simmons from the Laurel Historical Society, she worked in genealogy. She has done a ton of research naming these people, like finding out who these people were. Oh, good for her. Finding their graves.

And she had found 16 individuals that... Like there's a monument to these people that was finally erected. But she found 16 people who are not listed on that monument. What? That like weren't listed. So they don't know who they are. They didn't even do the monument right? Yeah, like I have no idea. But she found deaths because she found all these death certificates for these people.

These deaths in this institution range from three hours old. So somebody three hours old. Oh, wow. To 65 years old. And the three hours old ones, they said those are very nefarious because that means somebody either entered in pregnant, which was rare, or something happened in there that they became pregnant. And it's like, that's scary. That's like, there was so much sexual abuse in here.

If you are looking it up, sometimes this cemetery, this makeshift cemetery is called the District Training School Cemetery. The first recorded death here, and it was recorded according to the Laurel Historical Society, was 1928. So three years after they opened.

In 1950, this is just an interesting one that I found in a newspaper, two boys, Arthur Swan, who was 16 years old, and Raymond Thorne, who was 17, escaped from the institution after stealing a rifle from an employee's locker.

They left for a night and then Arthur returned the next day without Raymond. The director said he wasn't super concerned when they ran off because especially Arthur was a, quote, regular absconder. So he would escape a lot. Okay. When Arthur came back, he started teasing and hinting that he, quote, knew where there was a dead body. Oh.

They ignored this for a while, but then they called the authorities finally when he started, like, really ramping these things up, and they were able to locate the murdered body of Raymond Thorne, who he had run away with. He had killed him with the rifle, left the rifle on top of him, and just, like, dumped him in the woods. Yeah.

That one was upsetting. This one is horrifying because this nurse never really faced charges for this. What did she do? She was 15 years old. She was paralyzed. She drowned in a bathtub. So a nurse, Elsie Stambach, put her in the tub and then left her alone to take care of another patient, and Geraldine drowned. She's paralyzed. You can't leave her in the bath.

What are you doing putting a paralyzed young girl in a tub and leaving her there? Oh my God. If something happens, she can't move to get herself above the water. That's so sad. What are you doing? This should be pretty common sense. Charges were brought, but they were dropped and she resigned. But like, that kind of shit was pretty regular.

In 1970, and this is really awful just to tell you, a young eight-year-old girl named Joy Evans was sent here because she required 24-hour care and her parents had to work and couldn't provide it. Her mother, Betty, said when she was first sent there, she almost immediately started seeing issues happening.
