I don't how they let you in there but I would love to go take some pictures of my own in there only if I could get in legally of course.

Any ideas on what this may be? I can't seem to find it and would like to learn more about it. Thanks!

Yes, Grumpy Ole Artist, I have had "Home By the Sea" by Genesis going through my head many times while looking through these galleries. Plus a few times doing my own exploration. Of course I am a long way away from a sea...

Thanks Pookie. I was actually at this place http://opacity.us/site...olation_hospital.htm There was the original hospital in back of this building and that is where the Children's Shelter was. We ate and bathed in this hospital building. I tell some of the story in that thread.

I worked at Fernald and periferally at Met State and when I'm on the grounds I think about all the misery with small oasises of compassion.

Hello, I am interested in some more Pictures of this ceiling, I am a plasterer from Germany an I have a client that like the Decor and would like that i copy it. My adress mail@sebastian-rost.de my homepage www.sebastian-Rost.de. Thanks a lot for an answer, best regard Sebastian

I usually do not don these items unless I start crawling around particularly nasty places, such as steam tunnels, sewers or bell towers. 95% of the time, these kinds of places are just dusty.

This main building burned down some time ago, but I'm really not sure what's going on with the property these days.

Hi Charlene, thanks I'm glad you enjoyed them! All of my older photos are still here, just in other galleries under the main NSH page: http://opacity.us/site...n_state_hospital.htm (scroll down and they are under the historic images)

Flushed, I am so sorry they deleted your comments and memories, and I don't believe for one minute that your stories weren't true, people just seem to find it really hard to believe that things like this went on behind closed locked doors, that place was worse then jail. OMG!!!! just makes me so angry that someone who doesn't even know you or us could be so mean and nasty....I pray people like that,never have to experience what we did and I pray if they have kids that they don't ever do to them what our parents and the dept of mental health did to us.....

Good to see that opacity's resident unmedicated schizophrenics are back in the saddle again.

For the other viewers: please be aware that militant and wildly overblown victim stories blamed on psychiatry is a standard delusional paranoid symptom of schizophrenia known as "delusions of persecutions" and "delusions of clarity". Despite being unable to compose a sentence without emotionally-overwrought word salad or confabulation, they are utterly convinced that they are persecuted victims of a vast legion of trained torturers, who (fascinatingly) are THEMSELVES insane and belong in a psychiatric hospital.

Please don't feed the nutjobs.

"I was put in restraints in the seclusion room. I lost touch with reality and thought I was paralyzed. I thought I had died and gone to hell. They left me alone in my pain."

You were an acute schizophrenic suffering from a psychotic break, aka "losing touch with reality". They "left you alone in your pain" because you were unfit to be around other human beings (or yourself) in that condition.

I don't condone psychiatric abuse, but knock this garbage off about every use of restraint being intended to torture an innocent victim. Every paranoid psychotic I've ever seen forcibly restrained said the same thing "RAPE! ABUSE! TORTURE! MONSTERS! HELLLLP!". It doesn't mean their fear and indignation isn't real, but it is the product of a badly diseased and disordered mind which cannot be counted on to perceive the real world accurately.
