when i was three years old i went to the ladd school and was put in an observation room (it was 1985) they asked me what i saw and i said, "a black lady." (i could see ghosts and i can still hear them.) As soon as the words were out of my mouth all the doctors at the table observing me stood up and a nurse ran into the room and scratched my arms until they were bloody. They told my older brother that i did it to myself and kept me there and gave me electroshock for 23 days straight. When my brother found me, i was strapped on a gurney in four point restraints with them giving me injection in my thighs, now mind you i was three years old. They definietly tortured people worse than me though but they were also obviously scared of a little three year old telling somebody about someone they had killed.

Chris L. I think you are thinking about Cresent Park. They had the flying fish. Or was that Jolly Charlies in North Attleboro. I do remember the flying fish. I also remember this wonderful place. Rocky Point will forever be part of my happiest memories as a child. Just like Christmas, but in the summertime. RIP Rocky Point.

i think i used to live right next to this place, it looks very familiar and there was no photography allowed even outside in the graveyard part of the property...so it's a risk besides breaking in to the chapel.

this is so insanely beautiful.

i've seen many victorian/jacksonian graves that simply say "mother" and "father" in pairs in old graveyards. how sentimental....

this whole place...would be a perfect location for a film....

this looks like a sling for moving embalmed bodies...into their coffins...?

i was in the abandoned dormitory building at a boarding school on mission hill in boston and it looked just like this...those long boarding school hallways with rows of identical doors!! and always a radiator at the end.

_______________wow.............

i remember my grandfather took me to an old train station here in pittsburgh a few years back. it hasnt been used as a train station in a long while but has restaurants in it now. he told me that the skylights in the building were once covered during one of the world wars. i dont remember which ww but he said buildings that were at high risk of being attacked during the war boarded up their skylights, i suppose for saftey reasons. just an idea.

It is scary that doctors and nurses, heck people, did this to other human beings. I encourage everyone to look into the Willowbrook State School, in New York. Here is a letter from someone who worked there http://www.thecrimson....icle.aspx?ref=120007

It's a shame that such an interesting and once spectacular building has to go to waste like that. It had the potential to be so much more than a mental hospital, and now look what it's come to...

Maybe it really is an old man' s face, hey you never know.

And you thought YOUR room needed redecorating?

those stairs r much more worn down now
