This Is My Story!

My name is Josie Woods and I was held against my will in the Chester Terrace Sanitarium in the town of Port Angeles, Washington from 1969 to 1976. I lived in isolation for years, tormented by memories of the day I stumbled on a doorway between two worlds. From that moment I fought for my sanity, my life and the child who I held in my arms.

I’m dead now and I linger within the walls of this sanitarium which has long since been closed and abandoned. I died afraid, alone, abused, over medicated, neglected and mis-diagnosed but most of all disbelieved by everyone of what I had encountered and faced.

This is my story.
