I know one thing, its scary looking

Wendy im home......HERES JOHNNY!

It looks like a deer, probably dragged there by another animal.

the door in the first pic has similar marks on it.

the first door on the right has a hasp lock on it, i don't recall seeing one of those used on a patient door before.

Its a SOAP DISPENSER !!!!!!!!!

Deb. Considering the year that this building was built, the screens were there so they could open the windows to let fresh air in and not bugs.

I just got back from exploring building 93.. Its pretty awesome. Took about 30 mins to find a way in. They did a pretty good job on making sure people can't get in.

I doubt it had anything to do with vandals; this sort of condition is pretty standard in older cemeteries. The process of burial inevitably disturbs the ground, and the dirt that is piled back over the tomb (and on which the stone sits) is not going to be entirely firm. Over the years the soil settles downwards, causing tombstones to tilt, fall over, or even sink into the ground. Added to that would also be the fact that the ground freezes and thus expands in the winter. (Modern cemeteries actually have a stone slab above the tomb, just beneath the ground you actually see, to prevent this).

I like the red of the rust.

I love this one. I like how the blueish green makes the tombstone have an eerie feel to it.

I'd imagine it was also cheaper to dispense with full inscriptions, especially when the liklihood of relatives visiting the site was probably minimal.

I second that, jude. ^_^

At least these grave have somthing on them. I saw an old asylum grave yard before and the head stones were just un marked wooden planks that stood about a foot high.
