A tapeworm without the hooking and sucking mouthparts but a tapeworm nonetheless.Wow it would be really frightening to encounter a tapeworm of that size!

Where did you see these/find out about these Sam?I'm with Lynne.It might be horrible but I'm very curious about these.It rings slightly of an urban legend more than anything factual but then again you never know.

Looks exactly like the entryway at Worchester State

Most likely.

Since this is the enterance of the School and one of the First Pics you would be looking at let me say ..........

The Salesian Order of Preist teach at many schools in the area and all over the Country and World. Yes they are Catholic and this was a Catholic School. The Salesian Order consisted of many Schools this one of them, Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, Don Bosco Tech (now closed) in Paterson, NJ,. So yes this is a Religious school and like many others are coming to an end. I Hope that the Town of Goshen, when they build on it, Keeps some of the Salesain school intake in some way shape or form.

Ew, I wouldn't want to look inside with caution tape on it!

Again asylums display their love for that ubiquitous red-orange.

No relief here.

Must have been some bad constipation.

They might be from asbestos abatement crews.

When the buildings are gone will you tell us what the name is?

As an FYI, the majority of the people who engage in fecal smearing do not do it for attention; they do it because it is something that is not uncommon at a specific developmental level, and if that developmental level is never outgrown, this is more likely to occur. If the person is aware enough to do this for attention, then it is a fairly simple behavior to alter and replace with something more positive (given that as a trainer you are able to ignore what is going on and not inadvertently reinforce it by giving a loud disgusted reaction). If, however, they do it because it is where they are at developmentally you have a much more difficult time changing it, and, in some cases you have to have them wear modified clothing so they can't engage in the behavior while you are working on developing a good training program.

Well, I'd love to see them. I am in contact with some of the people who were responsible for some of the Pennhurst post-closure monitoring, and I am sure they would be quite interested in seeing them as well.

I agree entirely. My first response when seeing this picture was wondering whether I was looking at it correctly because cupolas are usually up pretty high on taller buildings. I think it's a wonderful touch, as plain vents and pipes wouldn't have been anywhere near as attractive. Whoever the specific architect for this place was, s/he really paid attention to some wonderful details.

Dear sam,

im sure if motts didnt like it, he would let us know

love
