Kendall's story is a piece of a mosaic as intricate as St. Fillan's stained glass windows. Dr. Macauley MacLaren, hopeful that the new methods of Freud would cure his mother's madness, founded the hospital, named for the patron saint of the insane, in 1898. The Victorian hospital holds secrets, set in its shadows a century ago. Exploitation and experimentation, as old as the lobotomy and as modern as managed care, add to the tale. This eerie place is where things go bump in the night, and staff and patients alike have an unfortunate propensity for a premature demise.
