i realize this is a bit dated now but i just came across this site. i grew up in warwick and went to rp every summer. i also worked on the first year of Halloweenland. i can confirm that the house of horrors was definitely up and running as i was there to help get it going. being in the room where the car dropped down that hill, standing on the floor between tracks with the cars running was a surreal experience. there were limitations as to what we were allowed to do after the inspection (that crippled the park). we were not supposed to have live actors in the house, but some of you may remember, we did it anyway. the inspection i'm referring to shut down about half the houses that were already built and not allowed to open. i worked on several of them. i remember emery p as well as a few other people i had worked with a few years earlier in march of dimes haunts. did anyone get to go in the funhouse? that was one of the better houses that got shut down. it was functional but not allowed to run because there were no sprinklers (which was the same reason for most). someone would go into the crowd and select a few people to bring in. shady? all in all my experience at halloweenland turned me off from haunting all together and i left the scene. i have recently returned and it's nice running into old friends. for example, james of nightmare gallery (his house was to the left when entering the park) has moved his event to salem ma, where i now live. as for what i'm up to or who i am, i value my anonymity... but look for The Black Spot in the providence area this october!

You should have seen my mom's face when she was "innocently passing by" I was lucky not to get grounded >.<

The organ is probably no longer there. That is a facade. The organ was behind. The passageway was probably to access the organ for tuning. There are still many pipe organs around and many people that play them. This is beautiful. Too bad it is in such sad shape, but it does have a beauty about it, even now.

Hi, went to see the 50's movies in our 1968

Is there a Rutland, Mass or a VA. Hospital, My grandfather died in one of TB
in the in 1940 to 1944
I live near The Norwich State Hospital, my aunt retired from that in the 80's and I did a class paper in the 70's on The Mansfield State training school. All In CT.
Thank You.

what part of the hospital was this?

i am very jealous right now. until they started demolition the rotunda had already caved in. the closest i came to it was a hallway where i could kind of see through inside of it

i swear, i've been inside atleast 20 times and could never find half the places or things that you have.

ahh i've been right in that spot.

How could you know that that box was inside the cornerstone, of all places? Or do they always put things into cornerstones when constructing buildings? Very interesting nonetheless.

The Concrete structure inside the hole is called a "Turbine Pedestal" sort of like a table that supports the Turbines and Generators. Even though the plant was shut down the Turbo Generators and other equipment is still in good condition and sold to other plants or factories and often the only way to remove them from the biulding is to make a hole through the wall.

Another amazing set of photos Motts, Keep the great work coming!!

This is my favorite of the set also, reminds me of two old people, the chairs I mean...

Freedom was just out of reach

I love the glowing door pics
