Motts, why aren't there any-photos of the outside or grounds?

hyaaa this iz jst nt even scary hahahahahahahahahahahah lol

Mr. Motts, my name is margaret, and i weas a patient at danvers for twenty years. 1965 - 1985. i was told about this site from my grandson. i just wanted to say that every-one leaving comments says how awful it is that this building should be kept up and remain for ever, but if you knew the things that happened to patients, inculding myself, you wouldhate yourself for ever wishing it. i wanted to tell you a story that happened in this very hall. in 1976 we had a new patient admitted, her name was chloe, and she was very nice. i made friends with her and she had an illness similar to parkinsons. the doctors had decided to give her shock therapy treatment and she wasn't going to have it. one day she was taken into the administration building, and on her way back they told her they were taking her to recieve shock therapy treatment. she put up a struggle, and they beat her, the orderly removed his shoe and beat her on top of the head and in her face. they then took her and gave her shock treatment, and she died. i hate that place, and i never want to see it again. i am currently living in new-york city, and i never will go back there again. i just wanted to tell you my, rather, chloe's story.
thank you,
margaret kinsey

Motts, i feel as though it would be obvious as to why you wouldn't have (security). But, did you by chance see the grey gables, or get any pictures from them. Even a snapshot from the window? Or was security really that much of a problem....

Omg that man scared the crap outa me... I'm sitting here alone and in the dark so I definately just flipped out.

My poor auntie was a patient here in the 1950's, following the death of one of her children she was severely mentally disturbed. Following a weekend break back home, before returning to the hospital and when she was alone she gassed herself . God rest her soul.

Could IGOTMINE be suffering from rectal cranial inversion? I think so...!!!!

I love this website, very interesting photos. One question I have is how dis a claw foot bathtub get into a 50's building? Those tubs are much older than that.
