About this episode

This episode explores the history and haunting of the White Sanitarium in Wichita Falls, Texas.

The White Sanitarium, also known as the Old Insane Asylum or Dr. White's Sanitorium, is a historic building located in Wichita Falls, Texas. Founded in 1926 by Dr. Frank S. White, a former superintendent of the Austin State Hospital, the facility was designed to provide a more humane, home-like environment for patients with mental illness, tuberculosis, and substance abuse issues…contrasting with the harsh treatments common in the early 20th century!!! https://texashillcountry.com/old-asylum-most-haunted-north-texas/ https://austinghosttours.com/white-sanitarium-wichita-falls/ https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/local-news/new-owners-have-big-plans-for-old-white-sanitarium/ https://austinghosts.com/white-sanitarium/ https://koolfmabilene.com/abandoned-asylum-texas/ https://search.brave.com/search?q=White%20sanatorium%20in%20texas
