Behind the scenes

 * The Parsons State Insane Asylum is based on the real life Danvers State Insane Asylum.
 * This could be a reference to the song "(The System of) Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether" by The Alan Parsons Project. Based on the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name, the story revolves around the inhabitants of an insane asylum.
 * The name of the asylum could also be a reference to the insanity defense. In 1887, the case Parsons v State of Alabama, it was said that an insanity defense could also succeed if the person ‘‘has lost the power to choose between the right and wrong and to avoid doing the act in question, such that free agency is destroyed’’. A clear reference to Lorenzo Cabot and the artifact that took over his brain.
 * The patients records found on Jack's office terminal show that the asylum once held a vigilante named "Nightwar", a woman who only wore black leather, and a murderer who was always laughing. This might be a reference to the characters of Batman, Catwoman, and the Joker.

Bugs

 * If the asylum is visited before meeting any of the persons involved in The Secret of Cabot House, Edward Deegan will eventually approach the Sole Survivor at Bunker Hill to start the questline. During this conversation and later ones it might be possible depending on the prior actions, that he will act like having shot up the place even if heeded the asylum guards' warnings and left in time to avoid a fight with them.
