Both of my late parents worked at Pilgrim State. Bob and Ellen Travers. I worked at Pilgrim State in 1964 as an assistant cook in Building 25. I forgot which floor it was.

Yes, a few buildings required some climbing, but not many. Most of the really open areas were heavily spray painted during my last visit.

Yes it's mostly red spray paint or fake blood used in a photo or movie shoot.

The average human has around a gallon of blood in the body, so yes a good amount will come out when you start cutting. It will travel down the channels and into the pipe for disposal.

The "pillow" in the old photo is probably a body block - used under the neck to prop the head up or under the small of the back to position the body for easier access to the torso.

Usually only in inner-city places with easy access to get inside the building; this particular hospital had a bit of an aggressive security force, so it wasn't a viable home for anyone.

wow that is a cooling table for the dead see the holes in it that was so the ice below would cool the body down many years ago i never seen one with weels

I live a couple of miles away from here and have visited it many times.My auntie worked there for years and my nain was a patient there once.If anyone has any questions about the place please feel free to ask.

I bet all this paper weighed a TON! Surprising the floor held up all these years. Oh, BTW, cockroaches love environments like this. =8-O

@ Mitch. No. Blood Borne Pathogens have a life span depending on the substance. For example, HIV will live only a few seconds outside a live human body unless kept under strict laboratory conditions. The Hepatitis B virus can live outside a living, human body, dried, at room temperature, for up to fourteen days. So after all this time, all deadly critters in that vile are long gone.
