Neat photo, a "ghost" like picture.

Welcome back, always enjoy your photos. Sounds like some people kept their sense of humor, which must have been very difficult in a place like this.

Thanks Motts. Have you got any trips to Fernald?
Way back when I first found opacity someone suggested a book to me which was about Fernald. "The State Boys Rebellion" It is the closest thing I have ever found that describes what I endured donw to some of the quotes being word for word what was said to me as well as the rumors and threats made at the Essex County Isolation Hospital. If you can believe it what I endured was worse. I found this excerpt from the book.

Built before electricity Mica

Such a waste to let it decay

The sophistication lacking in evaluation of patients made any effect on outward behavior seem like bone deep cure/solution. Thus allowing psychologically brutal methods without taking into account such factors or discounting them if they came up.

Radiant heat?

Still have that old timey barbershop quartet piano music played in Family Guy cut aways running through my head since the last pianer

I think it functions more to let damp evaporate than prevent rodents getting in.

did ya miss the light fixture Mica?
