Wow that shaft is creepy as hell

All - it seems the former resident entry was copied from another site. see http://forums.ghosttow...amp;page=3&pp=10 ) Here is another entry from him:

It seems that you were in A hosp where the children's ward was. Try anything in the nurses quarters its on B campus and the building with the arch walk way) particularly the wing on right side. I used to play in that wing as a child when the hosp was opened and had strange occurances. There are 2 unoccupied MD houses that had lights turn on/off. The first is seen from Glendale Rd. the second is actually a duplex and is closest in to B hosp The duplex on the left side would in the late spring/early summer in the evenings would have music playing. The 2 apt buidlings in the rear of B hosp campus are questionable. Also the baseball diamond, in the mid summer if you look towards the water tower just after sunset around 9-10p), you may see lights. When it rains in mid summer in the afternoon, there is flooding on the B campus along the utiliy rd that leads to the baseball field. After the rain there is waist deep pool of cool summer rain. If that happens, in the tree line along the road the property boarder) there is a path that becomes evident. If it is dry, the leaves of the bushes are too full to view it. The path only seems to be seen after a hvy rain

Thank you for the wallpaper!! I was hoping for this photo to be made into one

i was always curious about pennhurst and wanted to visit becuase i heard it was haunted... is that true?

thats how the stairs to the roof are at cip

THE MILLBROOK PLANNING BOARD
HAS APPROVED PLANS TO DEVELOP
THE BENNETT COLLEGE PROERTY.
the approved developer is going to put
ABOUT 95 HOMES here. they can put
up to 112. what a sport. there is some
outlying property on this parcel, but certainly not enough to build this many,
WITHOUT ACTUALLY BUILDING ON OR
DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO HALCYON HALL'S FOUNDATION, WHICH MUST BE "PRESERVED" UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS DEAL.
in other words, GOODBYE, the building
IS COMING DOWN.
alot of people are not happy about this
development regardless of the building's fate. It is the entire character
of the village that will be affected. This
property has been a sylvan, serene,
park-like setting since before 1892,
and is still now. my god they are gonna ruin another beautiful place with
obscene condominiums!

"Unless your uncle is this wheelchair, no one is talking about him. "

That made me laugh.

yeah, even though it is a distinctly
Tudor /Queen Anne building, i've
always thought it had a real Bavarian
feel to it, the architect kinda specialized
in that look in the 1890's. technically it's
a Victorian, but the feel is really more
medieval /Germanic, especially with
the projecting eaves overhanging
everywhere.you should see it in the wintertime after a heavy snow, it is
just...magical. A blanket of snow almost
takes away the damage of the years...

This architecture reminds me a lot of Northampton State.

yes, all of the balconies had substantial
balustrades, quite beautiful. the
"spindles" are all missing from this
one, no doubt kicked out by gleeful vandals in the 90's. actually they were all
rotted out anyway, and may have been
removed as part of the onetime "too
little-too late" attempts at halting the
deterioration about a decade back.
in any event, i never heard of any girls
[or boys!] falling from Halcyon's fair
balconies! i myself have almost fallen off
it's many roofs on numerous occasions,
but that is another story....

yoo, is there a fine here like there is at pennhurst and what are the chances of getting caught at this place?

I love shots of old, abandoned, dilapidated pianos.

To all who call themselves Byberrians...
Let not one forget that when breaking into active containment areas where live abatement is going on, this is breaking federal laws and regulations. While these laws regulate and govern the asbestos removal industry, they also apply to the everyday person(tresspasser) that breaches those containments. When one considers reigning in the EPA and OSHA, one must also question themselves as to if they are blameless. When one thinks that a violation is being committed, it is wise to also do some further research and make sure they are not also violating federal laws.
Please, do not forget the beloved Poquessing and how Byberrians traipse through its waters covered in asbestos. It's rather amusing that all who act as if they care and are protecting us neighbors are the ones who have been openly exposing us to these hazards for years.
Let's us also not forget the used tyvek suits or used respirators which Byberrians have been leaving deposited along Carter Road for years, for surrounding neighbors to pick up. Check out some regulations in regards to these items and their proper disposal.

[edited personal accusations; let's keep it somewhat on topic -Admin ]

Everything is absolutely spotless. It looks like the place is still in use. Crazy stuff.

I love how you were hiding out on the roof, looking down at the cruiser, and the sucker inside of it had absolutely no idea. Nice work. :)
