The Trans-Allegheny Asylum in Weston served as a treatment facility for the mentally ill. However, it was consistently overcrowded, and staff performed unethical experiments on patients, a common occurrence in 19th-century psychiatric hospitals. Many of those who stayed here never really left, and they make their presence known by crying, walking through the halls with heavy footsteps, and banging.
