Shadows in the Asylum

<div>In September of 2004 Dr. Charles Marsh arrived at the Kriegmoor Psychiatric Institute in Bayfield Wisconsin anxious to take on his new duties eager to distance himself from the scandal that had forced him to resign his previous post. Among the patients assigned to Marsh at this time was a young woman named Kari Hansen a college student who had suffered a nervous collapse during a school-sponsored anthropology dig a year previously. Subsequently Ms. Hansen began experiencing what hospital records referred to as a series of vivid hallucinations; her own words described visions of an alien intelligence a heretofore unknown kind of life form which appeared to her as shadows often of indeterminate shape occasionally taking on the form of man. Dr. Marsh came to believe these shadows were real.<BR><BR><i>Shadows in the Asylum</i> collects for the first time anywhere Ms. Hansen's patient records as well as records belonging to a number of Dr. Marsh's other patients and the related historical evidence that led the doctor to his astonishing conclusions to present a bizarre story of insanity that blurs the line between fact and fiction.</div>
