Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital

Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital (Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada)

Although the former psychiatric hospital (the “Asylum by the Lake”) has been closed since 1979, and the buildings are now part of the Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, there’s still nothing like gothic old asylum buildings to fill a morbid heart with contentedness.  And you can visit the cemetery and remember all the poor, misunderstood souls who suffered there over the years. (Thanks to Lady Morgana for the suggestion.)

About Comtesse DeSpair

The Comtesse DeSpair sits in sullen silence in The Castle DeSpair, obsessively reflecting upon the horrible void in which we exist. In her spare time (of which she has nothing but), she collects morbid trinkets and reads voraciously about the history of torture. She stores her trinkets in The Asylum Eclectica (http://asylumeclectica.com/). The Comtesse is hideously disfigured and thickly veiled at all hours. Once, an unfortunate servant caught a glimpse beneath the veil and was driven to madness. The Comtesse loves thunderstorms, darkness, and solitude.
