Yeah, it separates. Red blood cells turn black and the plasma is gooey and yellow. That's with air contact. The substance in question is sealed, but to what degree? I believe blood is possible. They weren't as careful about disposing hazardous waste then as they are now. It's apparent by what was left inside the building to rot that it was a reckless abandonment. If it is in fact blood, why not tainted blood?

Great picture! Looks like some one got a little happy with the torch. I especially like what appears to be a hand print "clawing" at the light switch. I'm glad to see there are others who compare these scenes to Silent Hill. That's exactly what I was thinking!

This is clearly a different room than in the old photo. Look at the radiators and the space between the outer windows. By the way, Starlight, you are right about the temperature. Operating rooms are kept cool these days, but back in the day they were kept warm.

The blue windows are hanging from a support on the inside of the room. They are there to block the sunlight, kind of like shutters. You can see in the original picture what the outer windows look like. They don't have the mullions because there are two sets of windows. The support for the blue windows was probably added while this was a geriatric facility.

That is a horrible color and that light fixture is really creepy

We roamed then and we roam now. Some are locked down and some are mixed right in society. We are protecting our sacred ground fom the evil doers and desecrating vandals. Urban explorers are welcomed and all others are not. You pass us by every day and we know who you are but you do not know us and you never will.

that chair is scary. The feet pieces creep me out.

I don't know why, but I LOVE this shot. Always impressed with your photography Motts.

Went to visit my old high school in Leominster Ma. and took a tour around it. It's located in a nice neigbhorhood that surprised me that it had been left to decay and insult. I looked in a window and saw pitch black and the smell of decay and nastiness. The outside of building was in pretty good shape, but obviously the inside had been left to the pidgions and collasping floors and ceilings. I could tell it was a Leominster politcal thing, and the city didn't have balls to take and make it in something great and long lasting. I don't live in this city any longer and am totally disapointed in there lack of forethought to make this old school and permanent addition to a city that needs to perserve there old strucures and make them an attraction to coming generatioins. LOSERS:

Burned. In all of hearts of hearts, it will be burned forever. For whatever happened there or not happened there, there was a lot inspiration and a whole mess of desparation. You will always be the man, Motts.
