The Notorious Male Ward 7
*The Male Ward 7 of Callan Park Mental Hospital was known as “notorious”. Searching for why, I found out next to nothing. At least, not until I started digging into the patient notes of those who’d been inmates there.

This story is also very much based on a real place. See story notes on TheLanternLibrary.com for background.
