Stockton Mental Hospital - Remains Removed

In the video clip you will see Ch 13 - TV reporter Kim Bora give an update on what has been happening with the Stockton Mental Hospital Mass Gravesite

The Human Remains of over 42 unidentified bodies were removed from a mass unidentified gravesite which was discovered on the mental hospital grounds in Oct. 2005.

The site manager hired by the Department of Mental Health claims that the remains are over 100 years old due to the fact they found an oyster button and nails with square heads which were known to be from the 1800's time frame.

Until recently when Ms. Tafoya hired a local attorney to serve legal documents to all parties involved. The legal documents stated they were too cease and desist any further handling and discovery on remains located currently in their hands.

The video reports and gives details of a mass gravesite located in an un-marked cemetery, and does not mention much about the lack of professional record keeping by the mental hispital staff.

The mystery is "Why would there be any unidentified bodies OR Unmarked gravesite?"

Watch the video and please feel free to give us your opinion. Thank you.

In the 1900's insulin shock treatment started being practised - pumping the patient with insulin until a coma was induced - and then soon after that electroshock therapy when they used electric chairs and stuff and electrocuted their brains. If anyone has any better information about it that would be nice? P.S. Can I read your story?

[SerpentineRaven]

Lol, that's weird, that's exactly the same reason i'm here... o.o It's kinda hard to find info on how they treated mental patients back then. All i've found out so far is that they did have big asylums in the 1800's with doctors called 'Alienists'. Before that time mental patients were thought to have been afflicted by supernatural things like witchcraft or possessed by the devil or whatever. *

i used to live there at the grounds when i worked at the ccc when it was there. well the point is that when we would get out of work some time we would go down in the tunnels they got tunnels all over those grounds and we found a electric chair, a burner to burn people and other creepy things and thats the truth. we always knew that they were doing bad things to people there and everyone that worked with me always said they had a bad feeling about that place.
