this is just tacky and depressing

from the website Joe listed, here's a picture of what this table may have been (sorry, its long)

I was there from 1978-1980, on Ward D.
I remember the relief when I realized the big metal green door was locked behind me and my family were locked out. I was safe, they could no longer hurt me!
Sad to think that I actually felt safe there. Most of the time. There were staff who would provide smokes for just a little feel or a kiss. I learned to manage not to be alone with them.
It would be interesting to have a documentory done of Gaebler. I still have dreams (nightmares?) about running away through the O.T. doors, or hiding out under the basement stairs.
It's so sad to think that I actually prefered being there to living with my family. No wonder I'm still working through PTSD issues! But I would certainly be dead if I hadn't been at Gaebler -- either by my hand or my mother's.
Is DSS doing any better now?

My god, man, I hope you have a pro-quality breathing apparatus.

It looks like a Japanese munitions bunker in northeast China during the War. The Japanese occupationists built numerous bunkers because the Communist resistance are famous for relying on massed artillery strikes to obliterate distant enemy targets. The Japanese thought bunkers would keep them safe. Well, not really, when shells are fired at such a position that they ascend to the sky, then comes down in a completely vertical path.

this whole collection is da bom motts. i love old cemetaries and this one is stunning

i agree joy 1, these beautiful old buildings have gone to waste. i absolutely adore them.

very cool hallucinator

Mr. Motts, I agree with laura; i stumbled upon this website after i saw a ghost show about one of the mental hospitals. i love those hospitals, they are beautiful. i old hotels too. i've been sending everyone i know this website. what i am surprised about is that you have never caught any spirits in your shots, any that i could spot that is. i'm sort of a ghost hunter and live vicariously through others' pictures and i've never seen anything that jumped out at me (haha). even when you did the angel photos with your friend dressed up in wings and a halo, i would have thought doing that would have brought them out. i bet you hear strange noises in these old buildings at times though don't you? you should bring an EVP thing with you.

LOVE THIS WEBSITE!
