I keep noticing the light fixtures, they're so perfect and the celing around them has crumbled away over the years.

I love your caption as much as the photo, Mr. Motts. Do you write at all?

I love the tree outside the window. I've kind of got a thing for skeletal trees. This one looks like it's grinning.

Wow. Just stupendous. That gallery was a tour de force of amazing photography.

I love the slight angle. It gives that feeling of motion, almost like someone is running as fast as they can from whatever. Pretty eerie and I love it.

Whoa... thats freaky. Jenny hit it right on the head with the reference to The Changeling. (from a paranormal freak's perspective) It is sooooo eerie. This is brilliant. Every time I drive through Worcester I see the Admin. Building. My mother used to work there and she had her experiences too. (from an artists perspective) the lighting and the angle the chair is at makes for an amazingly dark, morbid photo. Did you change the position of the chair to fit your shot?

Hey Mouse, the haunted house opened last night.

Yes mary hight, people do visit. It's a haunted house attraction.

Hey someone, go back to Pennhurst. They fixed it up, and it's now a haunted house attraction.

I meant Channel 29

Hey everyone... I saw this place on TV twice last night: once on Channel 27 at 10:41 PM, and again on Channel 6 at 11PM. The haunted house officially opened last night. Admission is $25. I wanted to go, but my family were all to scared to go with me. (I thought it was pretty cool.)(They were freaked out by the clips that were shown on TV last night. They didn't want to go to the one at Eastern State, also. Eastern State's closer to my house than Pennhurst. Eastern State's about 17 minutes from my house and Pennhurst is about 43 minutes from my house). Also, Eastern State has free admission. If anyone can take some pics of the haunted house, that'll be cool. Both are open on weekends until Halloween.

Isme this was turned into a haunted house instead.

These pictures look like something out of a movie... Silent Hill creepy!

This was not a psychiatric asylum. It was a tuberculosis sanitorium.

Remember that this was a tuberculosis sanitorium, where small children and adults died from TB. The sanitoriums are no longer needed and disintegrate because man has found a cure for the disease, if we choose to use it. The architectural elements and miscellaneous objects probably remain because memories of the dead and dying are not pleasant, and we don't want to return there to pick up unimportant material objects. If we let the disease once again take hold, these sanitoriums may take on new meaning.

Food for thought.
