The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.

The State Home at Eldridge 2024 Aug 30
On the topic of insane asylums, I don't believe in haunted buildings except here, at the home founded as "California Home for the Care and Training of Feeble Minded Children." They even called the town its in "Eldridge" – and you though Lovecraft was making this shit up. Buried in the woods, the place is positively eerie. Don't believe the lies on this historical society page, the real history of the facility is as full of abuse and horror as it looks, although it took until 2012 for the state to finally shut the place down. Jack London even wrote an escape story about inmates of this place.
