Yeah that was really weird. I wish I had moved them out of the shot!

Quite a few large abandoned state hospitals are still partially active, although they have been downsized greatly, and there are numerous smaller ones that still exist.

The New York State archives report that in 1986, NYS had 33 mental health facilities: 23 psychiatric centers for adults; 6 psychiatric centers for children; 2 forensic psychiatric centers, and 2 research facilities.

It would be neat to post some of it somewhere, in a way. Maybe if the children, grandchildren of some of these patients knew this stuff existed, they might want it. Just a thought...it would be kind of labour-intensive to sort it, of course. I was just thinking it might be of value to me if I had a relative who was once a patient....

Do you know how many insane asylums are still in use today in New York?

Cute how the moniter has a post-it note stuck to it...."remember to collect moniter after 20 years"

Is that paper plates next to the table? Hope someone wasn't planning a picnic in here....

Okay, I don't like to say, "Hey, do you see the face in that window" 'cause it's a little cheesy, but.... hey, do you see that face in the middle top window?? I think it's damn creepy, even if it's an illusion

Well the other side was labeled "solution", and sitting outside for all these years, it probably accumulated some condensation inside the jar.

Either it's rust from the bottom of the cap or diluted blood, and I'd bet it's the latter of the two.

Someone probably forgot to shut off the line, and since the windows and doors are boarded or cemented over, no one knows about it. A few extra lights on aren't gonna run up the electric bill for a decent sized hospital enough to notice either.

I'm just surprised the place hasn't caught fire yet.

The scariest shot I've seen on this site. Don't know why, it just looks like it would be deep as hell...or like a hand would shoot out and pull you in....brrrr....creeepy

One of my favorite shots here....this is an incredibly enjoyable site to visit !

Hey, this reminds me of those old zombie flicks where the people are holed up in old buildings, and have to stack shit in the doorway to keep out the zombies.. ....lol...

I would have taken that thing home! It's way too sad and lonely looking to leave behind...... :-( I almost wish I hadn't seen it!!

Makes me angry to see such waste. Somebody obviously must own the property; if they didn't want it, why not sell it dirt cheap to somebody who can do something to it?

Why the hell would anyone still pay to power the place? i can't imagine any sort of work still being done in the shambles it's become...weird..
