I live right by this place, and have been dying to go for so many years. I plan to go later in the summer, but ever since the fire happened, security and construction details have made it increasingly harder/more dangerous to go. Awesome photos Motts! I may have to live vicariously though them, lol if I'm not able to go
You guys shouldnt go in there........I used to work for the government and when they shut the complex down in 1982 They hired me to go into the adult hospital and inspect it to see how much it would cost to bring it up to code and when I was on the 5th floor stairway getting ready to come down something jolted me and I fell down a flight of stairs........................I am never going back!!!
I did some research and I found out that the 5th floor was where they kept the crazey people after the tubercolosis infection started to die out!!!!!!
Anyone else see something that looks like a ghost of a patient or one of the sacrificed animals? In the very back of the picture before the hallway turns to the right.
Devil Antics I had a great laugh.
Those tunnels were multi purpose. They had to be large enough to do maintenance and they were also designed for underground travel between buildings in all seasons. They were used for patient transport and for us children to come from the shelter to the hospital to eat. They had lights, I was told the adolescents broke them out of bitterness and frustration with the world. When we used them the lights were out and they were not much cleaner and got just as wet. The older kids used the darkness as cover to do their dirty work and keep up the intimidation that place ran on. They stopped letting the volunteers take us children to use the tunnels on the way to eat after one day someone much older terrorized me right at the point where light ran out and blackness took over, I was 4ish and I screamed and screamed and screamed until all the children became frightened in the darkness. I was chastized and punished for it.
