I can make wallpaper out of any of your pictures, Mr. Motts! ( to be taken as a compliment, NOT a restraining order!!!!)

First off, gotta say hi to everyone! I've been a lurker for a while, but finally had to comment!. Mr. Motts, Love the site, you do what I've never had the courage to do! Thank you for bringing these places back to life.

Oh, and Rekrats! I'm glad you liked Pittsburgh! That's my city! :-) And also home to one of Mr. Motts' other locations- Dixmont!

Lixi , you've got that right! (in the glow of a green-"green light"! sorry i'm slap-happy today! :)

Pauline, i am so sorry. :(

please excuse my spelling,
this place was a psych ward many years ago its very old i would not believe this building was special to anyone excpect for the people who recieved thier paychecks for the time they spent there. sure some people might have wanted help but alot were there against there own will. and the horrible procedures that occured on patients such as lobotomies where there would drill through there skulls or go through the eye socket to sever brain tissues and kill, people electroshock therepy, and neurosurgery where they messed around with the spinal cords and signals your body natural sends up and down ur body. this place opened 1885 people were'nt treated the best. so whats so disrespectfull about a little spraypaint graffitti or ART. most of you are ignorant ---holes that just open ur f--king mouths. and let sh-t spue out

strip searching?????? lol

hahahahha! her lips are puckered up.....motts you look like you're ready to make your escape!!!! :))

Sir - you should take one of those small dictating tape recorders with you when you go on photographic trips. That way you can "talk" your notes for writing down later on in the future. And who knows, you may even capture a few EVP's! I took one to a cemetery I was photographing and later on when I played it there were some odd sounds that I couldn't explain.

Got My Vote

This seems to be about as random of something that can be found in an abandoned building. Icant wait to see what will be next

it is, greenskulker! A very large body it would have been though :)

Good to the last drop!

The light streaks are from a flashlight lighting the scene, as it was pitch black in these basement rooms.

I expect to see Juliette Lewis pop up in the next room.....and I hear Melissa Ethridge in the background....

Eek, im expecting her to look up and have no eyes......I love these pics they really bring out the feeling of the place.
