I'm with Clarabell and Sayward; my reaction was so strong i finally had to comment. i haven't seen the other one you guys are referring to, but if it's as baleful as this image i almost don't look forward to it.
almost. to evoke such emotion with a photograph is amazing. i stumbled upon this site through my interest in urban exploration, and until now never realized the artistic value of these old, forgotten places. really good stuff
Quit weeping about the grafitti. To high school kids it's just a place rumoured to be haunted; a place you can leave your name for other classmates to read so they know you had the guts to actually do it. To us elders it's a place of loss with a colourful history. But that's life: it doesn't matter how important you or the place is, it'll still be tagged, demolished and forgotten. Just like the rest of us.
what areas are safe to explore on the psychiatric hospitals ground i want to do a project on the place and i want to check out so neat things like what they did there and destroy all those weird rumors like what is a good building to visit thats safe and has cool things to check out and what wings to aviod
I was a couselor at Gaebler on two different occasions and I always wondered what became of the kids that were there. There was a little kid by the name of Gerry Young and he was transferred to Amesbury. He was only 11 years old at the time originally from C-town. I always felt bad for these kids that had to endure what thry did and tried to make life a little easier for them. God bless them all and God forgive those who did not genuinle care about those kids. I am thinking of writing a book about Mass. Mental Hospitals the pros if there were any and cons!
The last place I was in had these brightly-colored, square plastic chairs like the ones you might see in preschool, only adult-size. They were always cold and uncomfortable.
Nothing has changed much. This is the same sort of schedule we had when I was in the hospital, though "recreation" often meant sitting around the courtyard or walking around the gym or just watching movies.
