River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm. Hundreds of thousands of people walked out of Lifespring as true believers, convinced that the seminars had the power to change the world. ...

Midwest Madness: A Haunted History of Iowa's Asylums

Happy Halloween listeners! This week Amber takes you inside the five historic asylums that served the hawkeye state for over a hundred years, some still in operation today.
Without a doubt, asylums have a torrid and tainted history of abuse, over-population, mistreatment, and misunderstanding of the mental ill. Within the labrinth hallways and grandiose monuments, patients were shuffled around like cattle. To further this point, most remained just a number after death, if they were even given that diginity. It is said that most were just buried in unmarked graves scattered on the properties.
With all that residual trauma coiled beneath the veneer of treatment, is it a wonder that many of these places are speculated to be haunted? Listen in as we explore the possibilities.
As a society, we have made mistakes when dealing with mental health issues, but we are ever evolving in our understanding and therefore, treatment is making progressive leaps forward all the time.
If you take anything away from this episode, let it be the very personal stories the hosts tell of their mental heath battles and how important it is to seek help if you need it.
