Here, check this out, it's all about this really cool old hospital called EMS. It was torn down in the early 90s but this sight is run by a guy who used to hang out there in the 80s and loved it there.

I'm just posting this here because the plant growth in this hospital kind of reminded me of EMS.
Thanks Lynne,
Cracked ribs? Ow! It is really amazing that some people think everyone who worked in these places were awful people. You, as staff, put up with far more abuse than the patients do and really, as you said, many times the patients can't help themselves. You care so much about people who wouldn't survive anywhere else.
I don't know if I've mentioned this before but my cousin's wife is a nurse at a mental hospital and she said that some of the worst cases she's seen are PTSD cases. She knew man who had PTSD from his childhood (abusive home life) and he was the most seemingly normal person ever--except when he thought he had to go into a bath tub. He was fine with showers but he didn't like tubs because when he was 8 his stepdad tried to drown him in one. I was told that if he got put into a room with a tub he could actually panic and become violent thinking that he was 8 again and the people trying to calm him down were actually his stepdad. PTSD is a bad illness.
I suppose that, to a degree, people are right when they say that in the past bad people worked in these places and bad things happnened there but, I'd be willing to wager, there were more good than bad people working at these places and in today's world it's almost all good.
Maybe the world is growing up, nevertheless, they have a gem as long as they have you Lynne. :-)
@motts
plz dont feel too save on stairs build of stone. if a wooden floor is going to collaps it will happen slowly and with creak und crunch sounds. but if a concrete floor or stairway decides to collaps right now it will happen by a sudden and without any warning sounds, and fully!!!
Mr. Motts, have you ever explored a haunted place? If you did and you caught maybe something that is way out of this world please post them on this rockin site. Maybe on this site you can make a paranormal gallery. And of course have the comments so the cool people on this site can judge the photo.
