This is the month that Avalon will do its "trick." Iv'e been looking at some sites-the Danvers Preservation Fund for one.... because all this Danvers activity is in the works, I'm not finding alot of up to date info.--as in to the hour! Is it' too late :( I see Avalon has millions of dollars and the DPF has, well pretty much nothing to work with. There is a site and group dedicated to preserving cemetaries located on hospital premises...the Danvers before and after pics of these overgrown areas ( the pics are from years ago), and the post weeding , mowing and pruning pics of the the Danvers cemetaries (there are two apparently) is quite impressive. The local paper for Danvers had pics of past patients groupng tearfully with these dedicated people to try to save the grounds. There is alot of information out there mostly sad -- it's very overwhelming. And now, considering the present catastrophe in the south. A simple solution to many questions pertaining to saving these buildings would be: Preserve what is historic or unique or beautiful. What will and can never be reproduced again....
By the way, I recommend the movie "Session 9", in DVD format - -not for it's fictional story, but for all the footage of the Danvers grounds and buildings (though some scenes were staged, it's the real building I believe--Mr Motts would have an idea : )) The special feature info is interesting.

My friend and his wife are stained glass artists. They also do restoration. They would crap twice and die to see this left to its fate.

Does anyone get a creepy feeling that some of the clothes still take on the shapes of the pacients that used to fill them?

Whooooaaaaaa. Talk about a flashback! I was met by a sight like this in an old house once. To quote Spicoli, "Good thing I had fast reflexes"

I was hoping he didn't take my beer either. I needed it at Byberry last Sunday!

Well, if it looks cleaner then you remembered, then its quite possible that something was there distorting your view on it... and the camera actually shows the realness of the image.

Oh damn... looks like they had a calender and were scratching away the days as they went.

Im a fire fighter and not too long ago I responded to a place and went inside for the odor of gas... well, it kinda looked like that, and creeped me out enough to leave.

I hope those are rust stains...

I think I actually see something on the floor all the way at the end... kinda like a body being propped up on its front arms.

Does anyone else see a hand in the top left corner of the picture, in white?
