I was very nervous the first time I climbed up there, but since then I've been atop a few rickety blast furnaces and other more unstable structures at great heights, so I was pretty comfortable this time around :-)

No, I've never seen anything weird in supernatural terms.

I know this building is pretty much a goner by now, as they've started tearing the wings off.

I will re-iterate the statement below the photo; there was a memorial that listed each patient's name next to their number...

Yes, I remember there being a corridor leading to a few empty dressing rooms and things of that sort behind the stage.

I took two courses in college but didn't do so well; I wasn't very motivated to learn or experiment until I discovered these places, so I suppose I'm 75% self-taught...

They were pieces of literature I wasn't particularly interested in; I forgot the titles.

No, not here.

140 years old.

They were generic, professionally printed art, many of the same scenes can be found about the different wards of the hospital.

The place looked a lot better before it was abandoned... ;-)

Not to my knowledge...

I believe they were removed due to instability concerns.

They were mostly stone, but yes there were a good number of metal markers.

I can only assume that they were given a general ceremony or prayer and buried in a simple casket; the ones at this hospital seemed pretty nice - http://www.opacity.us/...418_bed_of_straw.htm

Thanks for the info; yes these colors were brought out and shifted from an infrared photo (which is usually all a red hue straight out of the camera).
