I'm not sure but I think sometime in the 1970's would be a good guess.

Thank you, I was hoping to get a book printed but the cost to do so is very high... perhaps after I've built up more photos and have some money to spend I will be able to do something like that.

Heh, yeah that was really strange. He looked like a zombie by the time we got to the room.

Well if you're in the buildings all the time, it shouldn't be too tough to find, no?

No they were just as they are in the photo.

This is a ghost picture?

In a small building next to the adult one, I don't know what it was used for.

Well since you asked, I'll voice my thoughts on this...

These old asylums, prisons, and state schools were one of the most horrifying places where hundreds of thousands of people have lived out the ends of their lives and died. Some were sexually abused by other patients and the staff, some of those were children, locked in seclusion rooms and beaten, some even murdered by other patients... I can't think of anywhere else troubled souls would reside.

So in the countless dripping, dank, pitch black basement morgues and caged seclusion rooms of the most violent wards, I haven't seen or heard one thing that would constitute as supernatural. People can pick out all sorts of anomalies within my photos but I can attribute a reason for all of them (so far).

Am I a skeptic? Yes. Does that make me "blind" to paranormal forces? I don't see why it would, but hey, maybe so.

So to answer your question, no, I do not think these places are haunted.

It's when you change the white balance a certain amount so that light from tungsten bulbs looks less orange. The manual for your digital camera should have documentation on changing it.

It's all streetlamps... I took these before I knew about tungsten balancing, so they are all orange!

This building is supposed to be converted into a hotel or something similar.

They're cheap prints, duplicates can be found throughout the wards.

Awww... you ruined the fun! ;)

That's my friend taking a photo, see the tripod?

It also looks like the Hunchback of Notre Dame walking around back there.

Yeah, the floors are cement so it's pretty sturdy.
