I don't think whoever wrote this ever grasped the irony of the statement. With these photographs and all who see in person the buildings, the words make perfect sense. We can all see you (the buildings) dying.

I grew up near this hospital. I spent observing this site from Commack Road when I was young. I recently met a nurse that worked in this hospital many years ago and she told me that all the scary stories that we heard as youngsters were all true.

WICKED!!! Mr Motts, didn't u feel that there was maybe a message there for u??

I wouldn't be going up there, broken ladder or not. Mr. Motts, there is only so far u can go. That would just be Waaaaaay toooooo far.

i absolutely love this stuff, i mean it is horrible that this is happening and tha this stuff is being left behind.it almost adds to the eeriness of buildings when things are left behind. i know an old hospital in jersey is left almost untouched. the tables and bedds are there, medical records, surgical equipment laid out on the tray infront of operating tables, doctors white lab coats, everything. it looks like they cleared out fast. i am planning on going to as many places as i can this summer and exploring them all, i'm going to take pictures and videos as much as i can, if anyone has any places to go please let me know, i'd also be more than hapy to share pictures and or videos i take while on one of my trips. please contact me - weirdgirl11491@comcast.net
if any of them places happen to be in jersey that would be absolutely amazing! not just mental hospitals, anything really. thanks

Too bad this place looks pretty trashed. It must have been spectacular in its day

In every photo I see of that place, no one ever shines a light into that hole and takes a picture of whats on the other side

Hello having lived in md for 40 years i remember the old hospital as a kid my mom would drive by it on the way to shelby beach! My dad played golf there to i remember it well as he told me what it was used for... Never heard of a lot of what i read here i know it just as the old hospital thats close.. Now in 2007 i find it a bit funny of all the ghost stories ect ect true or not as a historical place it should be saved restored and use for something.. Inever did go and wander around the place as . Did drive by many times and now with the web great to see its still around..

its a type of paint called portafleck, basically a base coat with some different colour specks in it that all come together in the one tin(the base coat is water based emulsion, and the specks are oil based, so the two dont mix, this is sprayed from a special spray gun, all in one go, base and colour specks and then when dry is glazed over with a seal. its a quick and cheap option. the paint is cheap to buy and as its sprayed on, isnt as labout intensive to apply, making it popular for covering large wall areas. in fact it tales longer to mask off windows and doors than it does to paint the walls. very popular in hospitals schools and public buildings.

i whold take some books

For some reason, when I saw this photo I imagined the voice of a very old woman saying "Once upon a time, in a land very,. very far away..."

I have a tear in my eye as I looked through those pictures. I remember the hall befre it was fir damaged and left to go to ruin, it was an amazing building, and the hospital, my mother worked there in the early 70s my farther would take us there to pick her up from work, we would run around the hospital and grounds. It is such a shame to see it like it is in the pictures, even though now it is a housing estate.
