Do you remember which hospital that was? In the one in the Buffalo they attendants sleeping on the same wards as their patients, so it must have varied from place to place.
To heather, no we don't ride over there now and haven't done for a while cause it got too dangerous for the horses. When they moved the security from the Chapel Lane end of the homes the vandals got in and the scap people so there was lots of stuff thrown all over the roads and all the metal drain lids/ manhole covers were taken leaving
large holes everywhere some of which were covered by grass so we had to stop. The authorities then had to seal the place up to stop the gypsies getting on so that also stopped us but from what I've heard they are supposed to open the Chapel Lane side up eventally as a country park as Bovis have no permission to build on this side but weather this will happen only time will tell. If it does then perhaps I'll ride round there in the future. At the present time the hall is still in a terrible state and nothing more has happened to the lakes or grounds, Bovis still plod on building their over priced tin pot houses on the other side, God knows who is mad enough to pay £260.000 for a 3 bedroomed terrace house with a postage stamp garden!!
Jiff I can't remember his name off the top of my head but will find it out for you and post it, I really wonder if the man who owns the hall or the council will ever put it back to how it was!! Very sad but I'm not confident it will ever hapen.
Well security there are far more ghost than just the grey lady and people will never stop talking about them just cause your night guards not amused!!! They've been there alot longer than you and will still be there after you've all gone.
Watch out for the rather large man who appears just over the bridge in and around the old farm, I've seen him a couple of times, very creepy!!
Hope you have a good night!!
Hi Matt and Serenityjane,
I know definately that Most Haunted investigated at Denbigh Asylum (North Wales Hospital) and Motts had already photographed there before their investigation cause thats how I discovered Opacity, was watching Most Haunted and looking on the net for photos of the Asylum. All I can say is thank you Most Haunted :)
I'm sure Ghost hunters have been to a couple of places that Motts has photographed but I couldn't be definate with the names.
Great gallery again Motts, photo's are totally stunning, absolutely love your web site. Thanks :)
Hey, great stuff here! i live in Wilkes-Barre/Kingston and I was never in the Sterling! They actually never demolished the entire building.. maybe half? A lot of people have used the fire escape to get in I hear? Thanks for the posts!
haha i was there to night and theres no motion detectors ive been there 5 times been to the roof and the tip top roof theres never been anycops that hav came as i was there or anything
I'm currently taking a course on the history of psychiatric medicine, and from an old Kirkbride blueprint we viewed, it seemed that the top floor was quarters for attendants. When the hospitals were built, attendants didn't sleep on the same floors with the patients.
