This Woman Went Undercover in an Insane Asylum!?

Obscure History Episode 3: Exposing the truth. Nellie Bly went undercover in the Blackwell Insane Asylum on Blackwell Island in the late 1800s and exposed it for being a slave operation that turned perfectly healthy women into lunatics who the nurses and doctors profited off of. Relive her experience as she was terrified she might never make it out of there.

If you'd like to learn more check out Ten Days in Mad-House written by Nellie Bly herself on her experience trapped inside this horror house!
