It's a raccoon. Possums have a prominent ridge on their skulls, and they do not have hairy ears. The paw protectively guarding the plastic lid from a Roy Rogers beverage cup (!!) does not have a "thumb" like a possum. It has 5 long, straight, raccoon toes.
This is one of my favorite pictures on this site so far.The Roy Rogers drink lid is arguably the best thing about it :D

I hear that they are planning to build houses,where the old asylum now stands.You can pull down a building,but i am sure that the spirits of the patients,that once lived there,are not likely to leave there.

that is so scary! fantastic pics all of them.

I take care of a woman who is 96 years told and her husband used to be a Dr. there in the 60's/70's. She has some interesting things to tell of the place. These pics are fantastic. I wish I had the chance to see the place.

Thank you for conveying the beauty I found in these places growing up. Wonderful captures!

This looks like the anathesia machine we have at the vets office where I work.

Everything in this place is broken. Broken minds, hearts, buildings. How sad it all is.
