i bet the patients tried to tear a little down, at least it looks like that (see the bit on the floor? )

great ; beautiful

it looks like bright, tormented spirits are in there

looks like many nails have scratched along the walls

i can almost hear the piercing screams

I was there from 1978-1980, on Ward D.
I remember the relief when I realized the big metal green door was locked behind me and my family were locked out. I was safe, they could no longer hurt me!
Sad to think that I actually felt safe there. Most of the time. There were staff who would provide smokes for just a little feel or a kiss. I learned to manage not to be alone with them.
It would be interesting to have a documentory done of Gaebler. I still have dreams (nightmares?) about running away through the O.T. doors, or hiding out under the basement stairs.
It's so sad to think that I actually prefered being there to living with my family. No wonder I'm still working through PTSD issues! But I would certainly be dead if I hadn't been at Gaebler -- either by my hand or my mother's.
Is DSS doing any better now?

background this one pls

george, i miss you.

I've never seen this when I've been inside, but those radiators are worth way more than $10 per coil. Those could net much more money in an antiques shop, and most likely used to help restore an old house. Old stoves and radiators aren't just "scrap metal". If anyone ever runs across one in good condition, take some good pictures of it and ask your local antiques guy if its worth anything! I did that and made $200 off an old stove from a demolition job... who knows what it sold for!

To the person "yomommaaa" who recounted her visit inside- I have heard the same heavy footsteps sound on two separate visits on the 3rd and 4th floors. The thing I am not happy to hear is that you took the keys from the box by that window- if you believe in ghosts that is a VERY bad move. Never remove property from a 'haunted' place. Also- you may have tripped an alarm in the building. I an 99% sure there are motion sensors in there.
And to "heather"- Something in a mirror? Wow thats something else! There is what appears to be a face in one of my pictures near my friend's shoulder as if a figure was behind him. We aren't sure if its a reflection or what it is, but it really does resemble a face so its plenty creepy. I also caught a lot of "orbs" (little unexplained dots of light) in many of my pictures. In the ghost hunter websites and such they are supposedly evidence of ghosts.
GOOD LUCK everyone, and don't get arrested, as the trooper HQ is only a 5 minute drive down the road!

I live 5 minutes from this historic landmark. I've been inside this place both in daylight and at night. I can tell you I'm not a firm beliver in ghosts but this place may very well be haunted. As a lifetime resident of millbrook, ny, I know many rumors that have floated around town about this place. I have many pictures of the inside but I can't share them because most show myself and my friends and with this being such a small town I could easily get myself or them in trouble.
It is twice as creepy inside and in very bad shape. I've been to almost every somewhat safe accessible area and yes its something worth the trespassing citation if I had been caught. I heard there is now a "silent alarm" security system with motion sensors in the building so I doubt I'll be back inside anytime soon. Also with every passing year the condition of the old wooden floors gets worse, and some are VERY dangerous. The main stairwells and hallways are VERY sound however. This building is absolutely massive and would take many hours to explore it and take it all in. This place is amazing. If I ever go back I'll try to get some non-incriminating pictures of the inside and send them in.

Your photos are amazing! Thank you for posting them. Hope you never take them down!

This is where I fell and died
