Welcome back, Spooky Squad, to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour.In this haunting and thought-provoking episode of Scream & Sugar, we join journalist and spooky sleuth MatthewâŻBerrey as he unearths a lesser-known chapter of Northern Nevada history: the mass burials on the grounds of the former Northern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services (NNAMS) campus in Reno. For decades, the campusâoriginally established in the late 19th century as part of Nevadaâs institutional mental healthcare systemâlaid claim to a cemetery where hundreds of individuals, many forgotten and unidentified, were laid to rest. Matthew takes us behind the scenes of the research: the historical context of the asylum system in Nevada, the working-farm and self-sufficient model of the institution, and the shadows cast by minimal record-keeping, unmarked graves, and, maybe, institutional neglect. Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, yâall!Case Notes: http://friendsofnorthernnevadaadultmentalhealthservicescemetery.com/powerpointpresentation.html (need to use wayback machine)http://friendsofnorthernnevadaadultmentalhealthservicescemetery.com/cemeteryhomepage.html (need to use wayback machine)https://historicreno.org/media/custom/docs/FPv14n2.pdfhttps://www.historicreno.org/media/custom/docs/FPv13n2.pdfhttps://www.historicreno.org/media/custom/docs/FPv12n3.pdfhttps://nvtami.com/2023/08/06/nevada-insane-asylum-the-desecrated-cemetery/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scream-and-sugar-true-crime-coffee-hour--6015946/support.This content is not appropriate for all listeners; listener discretion is advised. PS.
