Nah those are ceiling joists. Once the skylight glass was busted out, the weather washed away all the materials that made up the interior ceiling... probably plaster and lath.

and to the person who states they worked there and there were no children under 18 you are so very very wrong, and should do some research before trying to call someone on a very heartbreaking truth!

Wow, first off, Motts I love photography, its simply a side hobby for me and nothing near as powerful as your stuff, but the comments Im reading, I knew there was some horror stories, but as a kid I believed them to be made up like the stories of Mt. Misery. As a dumb kid I trespassed onto these grounds and some of the things I saw I just told my brain it was other dumb kids messing around, it was a whillllllleeee back, but I remember building 22 I think, I know it was a childrens ward, I remember Disney Characters on the walls, and a chalk board with the saddest most heart breaking scribbles, God help us, save us, things like that and I just thought it couldn't be real, the what seemed to be blood stains, I thought surely those who operated these buildings would never have let it be seen in this condition that lawsuits would have been a sure thing if this had been real. To anyone who had to experience these places by force my heart truly breaks for you, I am so very sad that as a kid, I possibly may have disturbed some souls that will never find peace, and I do hope with all my heart that you find yours, your safe now. I am very very sorry!

Wow, there is a show on SyFy called stranded that recently has me reminiscing about my thrill seeking childhood. Talking about the show with a coworker today led to telling stories about sneaking onto the grounds on a few scary stupid horrifying occassions, this loading dock was the first time we had ever been, we were standing up there trying to poke our flashlights inside when the flash light was torn from my friends hands whether it be by a bum or paranormal has still been undecided but it scared the hell out of all of us, we all turned and ran and lucky me ran right off the side of the loading dock twisted my ankle and was left terrified hurt and all alone! I remember hoping to get caught by the cops so they would just bring me back home safe and sound! Dumb stupid adrenaline junkie kids, I guess it was better to be addicted scary thrills than drugs and such though. Stranded is a pretty great show though for anyone interested in paranormal activity, wednesday nights, I didnt sleep a wink last night!

1st to Mr Motts. Thank you for these galleries. because of this web site I'm slowly learning how to see something in more then one way.

2nd to all people who visit here. your comments make this grade A site a A+. have yet to find a gallery that you guys didn't make me laugh, think, or to see something in a different light Thank you.

At times I can feel your presence mixed in with the ghosts of the past .

Now a moment of silence for all who was there in the past (good or bad) and the one who are still there(




). thank you.

Thanks for making my day Sir Motts! Great Gallery as usual.

I'm a document guy here too and find old paperwork fascinating

If I had to live there, I'd try and fix the place up a little

ashes to ashes, rust to dust

I don't think I want to know what went on in that room
