One of the things that make this site so amazing is that Motts is not a sellout. I understand that trying to make a ton of money off the opacity experience would cheapen and ruin it. I can’t stand ghost hunting shows and pimping the urbex thrill would just be wrong. Every time I visit this site I keep thinking I want more. As much as the pictures make me feel like I’m right there they leave me wanting to go deeper. I guess that’s part of the genius of this site “leave em wanting more” is the philosophy entertainers live by. I’m just brain storming here but I think some kind of virtual tour of these places would be amazing. I hate 3D but if I could see these places on an IMAX screen in 3D I would happily suffer through all the headaches and sore neck muscles that crap technology causes. I’m picturing Motts and James Cameron doing a series of documentaries that win every award possible but I’m afraid that also falls into the selling out, cheapening & ruining trap. I’m guessing here but Motts would probably say if you like it so much go do it yourself. I have been scoping out a few local spots and I have no fear of personal injury or any of the physical dangers and I certainly have no fear of ghosts. My fear is of jail, having spent time there I know it’s scarier than all the broken legs and ghosts put together. Felony trespass is no joke and a certain judge told me he would lock me up for as long as possible if he ever saw me again. I guess the point I’m trying to make is that I am completely hooked and I don’t really know what to do about it. Any suggestions?

Someday, Mr. Motts, your photographs will be all that's left of these places. Eventually they will all be gone. Even if you don't make much of a profit off them, you should be proud that you're recording an important piece of history, and having a lot of fun in the meantime. No one else cares about these places enough to capture their beauty while they're still standing. They tell the story of the people who lived with mental illness at a time when there was little that could be done to treat them. It's a story that needs to be told.

This Larry character is something else. Many terrible things happened in these places, no one is disputing that, but dont go ruining the experience this site is supposed to bring people because you have personal pain over things that took place here. Theres places to argue over this stuff, and in my opinion it isn't here. If seeing this place hurts so bad that you have to hate on people, then dont come here. Its that easy.... Larry.

As I'm looking at this open ceiling, I'm wondering what unsavory critters could be lurking in the rafters and other spaces. Motts, have you had bad experiences with wasps, hornets, bees, fire ants, scorpions, snakes, rats, fighting rosters, or spiders? =8-O
