Institutions, Magic and medicine?

I’m doing some research for several different projects. I need help finding some good sites or books to do this.
1)Institutions, asylums,etc from the first half of the 20th century and before. I need information on what they were like, treatments, and who was sent there. Also, if you have any local ones that are still around, atleast the building and know some history on it, that would be great!
2)Magic. I’m looking for some sort of black magic, voodoo, whatever that people would have used before 1950 (going as far back as necessary) that would supposedly, somehow, bring together past and present. Or present and future. Not necessarily time travel, but more of an awareness through dreams, psychic visions or something.
3)Medicine, herbal remedies, home remedies etc. What I’m looking for is something used in the first half of the last century that people would have used to cure an illness but in reality the medicine was harmful. No, I’m not planning on using this.
do your own research
I CAN TELL YOU THAT HERE IN GLASGOW KENTUCKY THERE IS AN OLD TUBERCULOSIS ASYLUM. BEFORE IT WAS THAT IT WAS AN INSANE ASYLUM..
IT WAS CLOSED BY MID 1940S.
THE BUILDING IS STILL HERE AND IS NOW A STATE HOSPITAL FOR MENTAL PATIENTS.. I WAS GOING TO GO TO WORK THERE, JUST DID NOT FIT MY SCHEDULE.. THEN I HEARD THAT THERE ARE MANY GHOST STORIES THERE!
