777 is not quite the "number of God" as much as it is the "number of perfection". Most sequences and numeral systems went no higher than 6 in ancient cultures, so the number "7" was deemed as one above all of the rest.

yes finding it in an asylum like this is pretty creepy. Was it for the pedophiles that like to look at little boys?

Did anyone else notice only certain words are in all capitals. It's probably some kind of cypher.

i have one just like that just a little shorter that I bought at an antique store to put my 18th century clothing for reenactments when I'm not using them. I used to bring the whole thing to put in my tent during overnight encampments

looks like the cat was living up above on the table or at least using the table as a litter box and died suddenly, falling into the drawer causing it to be upside down. That would explain the position of the head if the cat fell in head first. It is obvious the cat was living there for some time. It was probably a feral or maybe the pet of the resident. Most likely a feral that met a natural end and was later contorted when the tendons dried. Another explaination for the open mouth is that the cat had a sudden heart attack and died with it's mouth open a bit and then later the drying process took over. I find it highly unlikely the cat died with the mouth open that wide. Remember rigor doesn't set in right away so the muscles do have a chance to relax a bit before and the body goes limp. I bet this is when the cat fell into the drawer. Ever seen the mummies that look like they are screaming but is just the results of natural mummification?

Is this the very spot where a scene from the film 12 Monkeys was shot? The room looks pretty alike.

suits for burial of residents?

I hate to tell you this but ECT is still in use. Though it might be a little different than it was before. The patients are under sedation or anestesia during the proceedure and are given muscle relaxants. Their brains are then zapped into convulsions. I have a few friends that have had this sort of treatment. While it is used when medications fail, it actually can be effective but can cause memory loss. They don't just get the treatment once it is a series of treatments before it is complete. Might actually be the one treatment that did have some theraputic benefit but was used far too often and inhumanely at first without anestesia or muscle relaxants.

Where's 666?

would love 2 hear your story star!

How scary is that thing supposed to be in a turtleneck?

My daughter takes care of a lady that lived in that hell hole when she was a baby until she was 20 and they shut it down.It was a living hell.

I WOULD NOT TRUST THOSE STAIRS!

I have to say, you are really good at taking pictures. : ) I've taken pics of places, not so many, but a few. Like of a school, and an old supermarket. But I haven't been inside them.
Good work, though. ^^

Abandoned,
I don't think the patient's thought that much
