That's a shadow of myself, walking through the hallway and shining the light all around me. Since the light never shines on myself, it creates a dark shadow, as the bunker is completely dark.

No, it wasn't in the pathology building - it could have been a room with a single bathtub or shower.

There's the National Register of Historic Places, but even a building listed there can be torn down.

Death Tunnel was a pretty atrocious movie...

I just read a book called The Death of the Asylum: A Critical Study of State Hospital Management, Services, and Care. It's dated, but provides an in-depth view of the root causes of failures in state-run psychiatric facilities, and may be of help.

Yeah, a guy fell down an elevator shaft in the building that is literally next door to this (the old abandoned post office) not too long ago. It took a few EMTs to saw his body out of the ice in the basement.

There are tons of messages written on the walls of MCS by someone under the moniker of "Catfish."

They are reflections of the ceiling.

Shot this in October, no ice yet...

Much of the walls were destroyed to get to the precious metals in the wires and plumbing.

Thanks OR nurse!

I was thinking the same about the clocks when I visited, but if you go back two photos you'll see a circular remnant above the entrance, which I believe was a large clock. Another one might have also been on the opposite side.

I've only seen rats in inhabited places...

The three at the very end were elevator banks, and there were three more on the left side (only one is visible in the photograph).

Yes peering over the edge of the open elevator shaft from the topmost floor possible is always a bit unnerving!
