I had polio in 1952. Paralyzed from the neck down. My diaphragm was paralyzed so my lungs collapsed. I was in an iron lung for 2 1/2 months. Many people who were in them, were "weaned" off of them so the diaphragm muscle could strengthen itself. I'm 64 and my breathing is sometimes shallow in very humid air, but by God's grace, I'm still kickin' with no breathing apparatus needed!

There is a set of pipes in the background, near the middle that look like a person. The pipes look like blue jeans, there is a dark section above that for the torso and a light spot for a head....

It's one thing for a PERSON to shun another person but when a CHAIR suns another chair by being left that way, that's when you know you've seen everything .

*shiver* Belchertown State School For The Feeble-Minded. This place is creepy. I went there when i was in high school just to walk around, there was all sorts of creepy noises while my friends and i were there.

It hasn't been open for at least 20 years now. It was a Mental Hospital back in the day, and pretty much since it opened, they treated their patients like crap. some of the new articles are online about it. it does have a creepy vibe from photos, but being there is absolutely freaky!

I'd like to know how many patients were hurt because of staff...

Slowly making my way through the site, gotta say it's great work! I love exploring old buildings. This shot reminds me of the movie poster for "The Thing."

As an organist myself, I'm wondering what happened to that organ.

Oh my! There is something so sad and forlorn about boarded up windows, a signal of despair, failure, loss and grieving, and the building or the house crying:
"Please - don´t destroy me...leave me alone....let me be, until we sort this out"
It actually looks nicer if something is done with the boards. May be someone, the owner, really cared wholeheartedly at the time of the abandonment. This is such an unhappy gallery. Well done, Mr. M. Be well and safe.
