Riverview Hospital is known as one of the most haunted mental institutions in all of Canada. With a history spanning over a century, it's not surprising most believe this. In this episode, I explore the history of Riverview and the treatment of the mentally ill in Canada back in the first 50 years of this institutions operations. I also share why I believe many people think the sprawling grounds of Riverview are haunted to this day.
