The perfect picture to capture the darkened history of psychiatric care. These pictures tell more than a thousand words. They are brilliant! Thanks.

You can almost visualize a lone patient sitting in this now vacant chair.

It is frightening how "self-contained" these hospitals were. Didn't need anything from the "outside" and I wonder if the "outside" ever had any idea what was really going on in here...

if anyone has ever seen "In Dreams" with Robert Downey jr. and Annette benning, which was filmed here, the scratches look really similar to the walls in the movie when Annette is freaking out in her hospital room.

Let there be light.......

This pretty much speaks to both past and present.

The sheer magnitude of "waste" you have captured in these photos is amazing. I'm still trying to understand how they just got left behind... To think this room used to actually attempt to nourish patients is now hard to imagine. Thanks again for the incredible photos.

WHEELIE!

Weak! I love this picture. Its truly PRICEless. LOVE IT.

It is as if time just stands still. They were here one day and gone the next. Only a name tag is testimony that they even lived. What a strange time in our history.

the curtains were probably still there from one of the movies that was filmed there in the 90's....

I pushed many a dead body on this trolly to the morgue

This looks typical of many of the wards.
I worked in this place for many years, and know it very very well, including the morgue. the morgue was a seperate building to this one.
most of these pictures do not this place justice. i spent many a nightshift convinced I'd seen several ghosts.
Also, my name is enscribed on the chapel wall and is still there since 1971.

Looks like a teddy that went through hell!!

Are there any remaining buildings?
