Photographer Thomas Windisch Explores The Abandoned Mental Asylums Across Italy
These images of abandoned hospitals across Italy are not for the faint-hearted.

Photographer Thomas Windisch, 32, of Graz, Austria, said the asylums, located in top-secret spots, can get very creepy when there aren’t many people there with him.
