I found this eerie article on brainpickings.org about photographer Christopher Payne who has documented the afterlife of 19th century insane asylums – hauntingly beautiful buildings and fascinating glimpses into the lives of the people who lived there and what remains of these institutions now. You can read the rest of the article here. All images from Christopher Payne.
