What makes old insane asylums so creepy?

Asked by Jeremycw1 (1370points) March 25th, 2011

Old mental hospitals and insane asylums from the past (1890’s – 1940’s) always seem to be very creepy and… strange. Is it the fact that mentally ill people dwelled the halls at one point in time? Or the painful torturing procedures that took place in the facilities? What do you think makes these asylums scary? Or if you don’t find them to be scary, why not?
