How many little hands touched those books and where are they now..............

this picture has a creepy feeling to it, as if some one or something is waiting for just the right time to jump out and scare the hell out of some one (me)
great shot!!!!!!!!

I find this picture very disturbing to look at.

I've heard of these before - what are they used for?

The classic Hitchcock "Vertigo" shot. Amazing and beautiful.

Sadly the condition of the documentry isn't in much better shape than Pennhurst itself, the Audio is impossible to follow at times. I see there is a Pennhurst Documentry in the works, perhaps some restoration will be done.

there is a NPR interview online at :

Michael D'Antonio and Fred Boyce one the former "State boys" at Fernald are featured, this would be very interesting to anyone who wants to understand better what went on in places like Pennhurst.

Welcome home...sanitarium!!!!!! *cue guitars*

Cold and creepy. The undisturbed nature of the snow underscores that there's no life here, and hasn't been any for a very long time. One of the best shots on this whole site.

This is a very creepy shot!

that's not a guage, those are guages on top, that is the temperature recorder. those colored arms are styluses(pens)and the whole wheel moves ina circle, it works like a record player, with the styluses moving around to record tmeperature, the circle is a paper wheel that is meant to be changed after each use

I believe it's supossed to be a picture of the main building

this isn't a chair it's an old amsco 1080 model or table. I could def use parts from thsi table as they are hard to come by these days

Is the morgue still there, is it possible to get part sform there (ie the doors, tracks, stops, handles, etc?) I do alot of repair work for the city medical examiner's(OCME) and queens, brooklyn and bellvue still have the old equip which is hard to come by.

lol i want what Sue is smokin =P

Holy $#!^ do you know how much that tub is worth!!?? Jeebas remind me to go yoink that when i build my new place...
