wow thats an awsome shot its so eerie like i love it ...everyones quoting pink floyd and i love it :)

There is a bathtub in the school because the "students" were mental patients who lived here. Here in New England, state funded institutions were called "State Schools" or "State Hospitals". We still have one in Wrentham,MA that used to be called Wrentham State School..It's now known as the Wrentham Development Center

I wish I had one of those. In black of course.

Woe to you Oh Earth and Sea
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number
its number is six hundred and sixty six.

I lived alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind

What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me

Cuz' in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair

The night was black was no use holding back
Cuz' I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
was all this for real or just some kind of hell
666 the Number of the Beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were phrased
as they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires are burning bright
the ritual has begun Satan's work is done
666 the Number of the Beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
but I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
they seem to mesmerize...can't avoid their eyes
666 the Number of the Beast
666 the one for you and me

I'm coming back I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course

this door looks very unforgiving...i want to go inside...its gorgeous tho

Evokes feelings so complex that my vocabulary founders upon the crags of my awe.

What about the Raleigh?

So is "woderful"*sigh*.

"Sombre "is a woderful word where I come from.

FART? You would write that on a dish?

Mr. Motts,
I'm sure that Candace is a lovely girl, but I feel that putting a person into these pictures that you take is a subtraction from your brilliant art. I've been checking into your galleries for some time, and the shots that you have taken until this point are breathtaking...adding people to the photographs takes away from the beautiful desolation of the hospitals themselves. I am a fan of your work, but I hope that this is not an avenue that you continue down.

on some of the tunnel walls people left interesting saying like, The sun is not yellow, it's chicken, and another that said "Life cannot survive in an institution. How long they had been there could not be determined

interesting that chair is still there, friends of mine and I used to frequent the dever school on many occasions about 5 years ago. There used to be laundry in that shute till we pulled it out and someone decided to try and climb up in there. Not a very wise decision i might add. Thank you for this site and making remember my experiences in this very haunted, sad place

i love the lamp post...

wow... this one is amazing...
