Maybe X's tag areas that have had the fixtures and fittings removed. I have seen this in old prisons here in Australia. When they remove the furniture and handles and copper piping (which is expensive) they tag it as stripped.

Aaah, when there's life in a building, it's just another nursing home full of elderly folk. After they've gone, the myths and legends and gossip starts. When I clean out the drawers at work I find pics like this of our dearly departed. We all do a fond "hey, remember this guy...?" and then we stash the pics somewhere else. It seems like bad karma to throw them out. Probably fell on the floor when they were moving the furniture out.

Thanks Mr Motts for clarifying that. I got all excited for a moment... The lighting is magic. I have just seen the DVD here in Australia (Session 9), a friend bought it for me for Xmas because I rave about your photography. She got sick of me saying all thru the movie "but Mott's lighting is sooooo much more atmospheric!! " Anyway, suffice to say the psych nurses here in Australia love your work. Bless.

Navi and Long Island Irish, the coffin liner in this day and age is metal, used for vault burials, and when transporting a casketed body or putting someone with an infectious disease in the ground. The concrete liner would be the grave liner itself into which the coffin is lowered. For a coffin of this age, maybe the liner was another simple wooden box, or could have been metal sheeting.

So, is that a shadow ghost, or part of the movie or a trick of the lighting???

Doesnt look like a hydro tub to me. Just looks like a normal tub and shower. Hydro tubs of that era usually had like a headboard attached with various gauges and dials, and a fixation point for canvas sheeting over the top.
