How much of this is myth ?! There were many deaths there... where are the cemetery's grave stones ?

My aunt worked here until the hospital closed.

I am absolutely delighted to be the first like and comment 17 seconds of this video made it worth the entire 11 minute and 53 second watch Nice horses by the way

It’s a good thing most of these places are gone

Excellent interview!

Yes. This is a way of life that needs preserving. My happiest days with my hunter are treasured memories. It's as close to heaven as you can get.

Asylums are some of the greatest buildings in the world right from location and craftsmanship.

I think that alot of people who are MICA, would not fit in this pristine setting..

i see me in a great situation with my video thank you everyone

I was part of the prison project unit in 89 I worked in the boilerroom

Film was produced in 1997

sound too low!

Class of 75. I miss what Medfield was back then. It's still beautiful now though.

How much did they charge?

All of the girls are amazing

I love this video ❤️

Fabulous collection of photos and history. It's unfortunate the cover image of this video is of that awful banner. The history is interesting, but nowhere near 120 years of sunshiney wellness, especially in its last decades when these places stopped being communities and became nothing more than a collection derelict warehouses. 🤮🤮🤮 As a former patient in the 90s myself that banner can be politely described as disrespectful and ignorant. My great-grandfather lived as patient then later worked there as well. He died in 1949, in C-2 where he wrote to my grandmother he was experiencing "heart troubly" . Those grounds have always felt sacred to me because of that connection.

Is this Sooji?

No comments?

Seems lovely

Why would this inspire shutter island?

thanks for this. I am a landscape architect and the albums on Flickr are amazing. thanks again for this video.

A dedicated dad, a loving brother, a caring Uncle, may your compassionate loving, kind soul rest in God's bossom. I love you Uncle.

I worked there, you know nothing, for truth see me

How do I get a hold of the DeWolfs? I’m a direct descendant as well.

Excellent.

Hello! KZfaq removed private messaging so I can only comment here. I am making a documentary tracking the progress of mental health treatments in the 20th century until now. I'm doing so by focusing on the history of Medfield State Hospital. This is for my senior thesis film at Ithaca College. I'm a film major from Needham, MA. I was wondering if I could have the contact information of any of the speakers in this video that are still living. I have been doing a ton of research but would love to learn more from them first hand and interview them for my film. My email is [email protected]. Thank you in advance!

Burning Jeri!!!❤️💙💜😍

It was built as a community. It seems logical that it should be some type of community again incorporating sustainable organic farming and energy use. A few hundred Amish could probably get that place humming in short order! LOL

I am trying to figure out which building that I stayed in back in Nov. 1991 or '92. I had some family issues, and ended up there for 26 days. At first I was traumatized since it was involuntary, and al I really needed was counseling, and I was not causing any real problems for my family. I put myself in their hands and from the emergency room of South Shore hospital I arrived at MSH not even knowing where they were taking me, and thinking it would be a 1 day thing...I quickly settled down after I realized I could not leave, and actually enjoyed it like a hiatus from lifes problems. They tried to convince me that I should try meds, but it was totally up to me. Eventually the psychologist convinced me to try something called stelazine, kind of an old school psychoactive drug. I stopped taking it after 1 day, then of course they gave me meds to take when they released me, and I lied to my parents reassuring them that I was taking "my meds". LOL I knew things they did not know so I did not touch them. MSH was a beautiful place. They even let me walk around the grounds all by myself a couple of days. We had an hour every day that we all got to go outside to shoot hoops. I have not seen the movie SHUTTER ISLAND yet. What an asset for the area. It looks like an Ivy league college campus.

Awesome down-to-earth interview with The Best there is. Thank you Carmine for all that you have done for the many thousands of kids in your wrestling family. The endless effort and dedication you have given year after year has helped them all. You not only made them better athletes, but better people as well.

Wow this is terrific to see. I met Coach Colace pretty much around the beginning of his coaching career when I would stop by to help out during practice (I was in college and my family lived in the area.) Amazing to see Carmine is still coaching, I always loved his approach and how he treated his wrestlers. All my best to you and your family Coach!

THE PRETEEN WINNER IS MY SISTER CHICAGO WAS SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!

:)

This is where the New Mutants movie was filmed. Without that a lot of people wouldn't know about it.

I did my psychiatric training here during nursing school. I have great memories of patients and the orderlies that worked with them.

I was sent to Medfield State Hospital when I was 16, worst part was they never did find or say there was anything wrong with me I was sent there from a childrens hospital because the age limit was 16. yet it was very strange that they never did pick up on me being ADHD or having insomnia so both went untreated until I reached the age of 40 now isn't that just great all the social workers and hospitals and residential schools and what did they do they never helped in my life they over looked everything and basically did nothing but destroyed my life. guess they just picked and choose who they wanted to really help

can you still walk the grounds there?

Different kind of farming

This guy is a HOTTIE!

Medfield State Hospital should had never been shut down. Well at least that's how I feel. I was a patient there at one time. In 1983 I came down with PTSD shortly after the Grenada invasion (operation urgent fury). It wasn't the conflict that caused my disorder but rather it induced it to come on. I have dissociative identity disorder (DID) and PTSD is DID's bed fellow. Because the Grenada conflict wasn't the actual cause for my PTSD I did not receive military medical benefits. In words semper fi went out the window and I was on my own. As a civilian I was in and out of private clinics which didn't help because I was among patients who had no real problems. Whiners they were to describe who pulled out their blue cross blue shield insurance for minute problems. Then in 1985-86 I cannot remember the exact year, I was a civilian with no job or health insurance and I lost it mentally once again and was sent to medfield state hospital. When I first arrived I remember thinking about the movie "one flew over the cookoos nest". But after one or two days being there I realized it was not at all like I thought it would be. The staff was great, the food was good and the acreage and trees and the charles river was a place to find peace. And the patients, I was among those who had real problems and therapy wise it was good because would talk to each other. Medfield State Hospital was where I finally got on my feet again. It didn't cure me but it reclaimed my sanity. Again they should had never shut that place down. While I was in the military I was psy-ops. When dissociating I was very intelligent and in words knew how to walk the jungle. I helped out some patients there and the staff gave me a nickname. They called me Dr. Jack. I knew former disgraced FBI John Connolly and a few of his FBI co-workers. While there at the hospital there was a building where the insane and criminally insane pre-release patients were kept. One criminally pre-release victim um monster being held there was going to be released within a couple weeks. He was in the news back then. He was in his early twenties and he killed his entire family. The FBI believed he was a phony and so they used me to see if whether their theory was correct. I met him playing myself as a mentally disturbed moron and I discovered that he was a deceiving sociopath/psychopath who knew what he was doing when he murdered his family. Even after I proved he was a phony law and justice could not do anything because of double jeopardy and he was released. Within months after his release he murdered a married couple. The FBI used me again and I was wired with a listening device. In the town of Walpole in the parking lot of the plaza when Hannafoods if I spelled it correctly is located today, this murderer arrived with his girlfriend and he spotted me as I walked through the parking lot. Immediately he came over to me just to tease me again. To make a long story short I got him to spill his mouth and incriminate himself. He told me he had trophies of his latest victims. He also told me that he had a bottle of window cleaner inside the trunk of his vehicle which he took from his victim's home after he killed them. He thought he was clever while talking to me indirectly about his crime. He thought he was talking to a moron who wouldn't understand. But what he did in fact was connect the dots while law enforcement nearby was hearing everything. They arrested him there in the parking lot. On the window cleaning spray bottle they found the fingerprints of the woman who he murdered along with her husband. At his home they found jewelry and other items that he had taken from the couple he had murdered. Well this murderer was found guilty this time and was sentenced to life without parole. It was reported in the news. Well once again today I am unemployed and uninsured and I'm searching. That is why I found this youtube video. If I could only find my former medical doctors and records from medfield state hospital. I need proof of my disorder! Nobody believes in DID and in fact nobody believed in PTSD until around the mid 1990s. Former FBI agent John Connolly can no longer help me since he himself is in prison and I cannot remember the names of all the other law enforcement figures I once knew due to dissociative amnesia. Oh well I just try to hang in there. Well anyways and once again, they should had never shut down Medfield State Hospital. Chow
