Well said, Barbara

Yeah. It's just a bed. I think it may be how the pillow is placed that would be giving someone a bad feeling about this bed. I dunno. It's just the first thing I noticed and I did not like it there at all.

u see how they are in alphabetical order if they left the place in shambles at least one thing is orgonized

Hi I have worked at Danvers State Hospital for many years you took greaat pictures it brings back so many memories

THIS PIC IS AMAZING <33

Somebody got the MiracleGro and the floor wax mixed up again.

I've looked at that picture 4 times, and it STILL looks like it's throwing up a two-handed devil-horns sign.

thats definatly a step down transformer, i live in the uk and theres one just like it at the top of my street.

I love this web site its soooooo amazing and it helps you see how the people suffered when they were in there

ummm...were' not gaping at the concept of the asylum, nor of the people that resided and worked there. It's about the building and its architecture. It's about the beauty in the decay. There are also pictures of abandoned factories and such here too, its not jsut asylums.

In addition, we look at these things with utmost respect. Many of the regulars here work in the health care field themselves. Some even worked in the places pictured.

These pictures are taken to preserve beautiful architecture that is no longer inherent in many structures built today. They are taken to display the beauty that can be present in decay. They are taken to remember the forgotten. It's not a farce.

What is this shit about? why are you taking pictures of asyums and people are saying how beautiful they are? thats sick, asylums are for helpless people, thy're not beautiful..

excellent photo...

I was just there today...people with TB have to have entertainment too...did you get permission to go in there...me and my friends almost got sitations for being there at night but the cop was cool...i wanted to do a school project on it but after almost getting arrested i dont know if i want to go back

Good friggin-ness. Take a moment to appreciate the picture and stop with the ghosts crap. Good Lord! Can't we just enjoy a wonderfully captured moment and take it for what it is?

Thanks for the reminder and for all the information on these boats Jim!
