THE KATAHDIN MENTAL INSTITUTE
Est. 1905. The Katahdin Mental Institute was built by Great Northern to help aid those mill workers that began going mad from the grueling hours of working in the often damp and cold woods. These men were gathered up and housed in the institute and away from the general public for the safety of the town. Many of the men would undergo frontal lobotomies in the institute's basement to alleviate their psychosis. Screams could be heard throughout the building's air vents causing many patients to believe the place was haunted by demons out to get them. Rarely would a man that was committed to the institute ever escape to the outside again, dying inside its walls.
