Episode Details

Step through the broken door of St. Brigid’s Hospital, where Michelle McDonagh’s childhood memory of her uncle—slumped, drooling after electroshock therapy—became the spark for a haunting, fictionalized journey into Ireland’s forgotten psychiatric past. Walking through the abandoned halls, she uncovered scattered patient records and whispered stories of lives erased by silence. This isn’t just history—it’s humanity. With raw honesty and vivid detail, McDonagh resurrects the voices of those confined within these walls, turning personal obsession into a powerful reckoning with the cost of institutional care.
