WOW! thats relli interestin id love to go n visit.

the random boarded up houses in the main park aren't haunted(and a lot harder to get into) but ht emain building.....the really really big one that you can't miss is quite haunted but is still really awesome to get to the top in.

I spent hours walking all through Dixmont with my friends and saw some really wild things in the pics we took. The tunnels were the eeriest feeling part of the property to me.

this would make a great album cover!

it's hard not to see glowering sentience in that window

wow! As far as institutional murals go- this is pretty creative. loving the over-head foliage

I'm guessing dust, mold, maybe a little asbestos.

What are you asking Alice? Are you asking what they are? If so "suicide screens" as they have been called were mesh panels installed on the sides of staircases to prevent patients (not just suicidal but all patients) from jumping over the edge and falling to their death or getting a serious injury. They are not too common in modern hospitals because of the use of elevators and better stair design. Here is a photo Motts took to give you a better idea:

These things get personal because some people are passionate about what they do. Lynne (That’s LynnE… it ends with an “E”) has been a mental health professional for over 30 years now and does have an idea about what she is talking about.

Tried has had a few bad experiences and suddenly all mental health employees should go work at McDonalds because the pay is the same. Right… that’s a plan that will make the world a better place…

A very inspiring view... I'm upset I'll never get to see it in person :(

Suicide Screens? anyone, just wonderin
