Well spoken, Florida Jen! I admit I am one of the bad ones who generalizes about people who look for afterlife stuff. In fact there are people who seriously want to explore what they think might be indications of an afterlife and this is a different group from those who either want to use the afterlife stuff as a springboard for the old Boy Scout hold-the-flashlight-under-your-face- and-tell-stupid-ghost-stories-and-scream- like-Nancy-Kerrigan-while-getting-your-friends-to- pee-their-pants or the ones who are "certifiably unusual" and are, quite frankly, a little beyond the pale themselves already. I am a skeptic because it seems like after multiple decades in the business I ought to have seen SOMETHING by now that's unusual. Well, something unusual other than myself, that is. But if people are looking critically at evidence I applaud them and am sincerely interested in their efforts. Anything done empirically is fabulous. In my humble and unsolicited opinion. :-)

don't leave your engine idle!

Storage. There was extra space under the dormers, so this was an economical use of that space.

I think the red and blue book is "Developing Your Language"

Any information or pictures from the Concord or Raleigh Hotels. I have great memories from both .

I'd REALLY be interested to see a historic pic of this room..

Ok I just found this site a week ago and I need to comment on something that was posted late last year.

I'm gonna assume the *Lynne* roll here =)

Ghosthunters are actually quite professional in what they do. Yes they believe in paranormal occurances, however when they investigate a site, they do it with the intention of "debunking" so-called hauntings instead of blindly validating them. They are their own toughest critics and in no way are they "asshat" nor do they pee on anything they're not supposed to. Just because they believe in something that has yet to be proven, does not mean they are charlatans or fools.

Sorry for the rant but everyone else here is so passionate about respecting the staff and patients and not assuming that these places are lairs of torture, so now I can speak up for something that I'm passionate about.

No disrespect intended and I think everyone here is just wonderful...especially Lynne with her pillows! =)

Motts, thanks for the links. Though it's so sad to look at the Kirkbride in such a state - I hate buildings that are half gone. It's like they've been amputated somehow.

Oh snap - it does! Except we always had stalls, albeit nasty ones.

I was under the impression that a graveyard cannot be relocated until the last body has been laid to rest for 100 years. If that is indeed true, Danvers should be OK.

Wow I'm looking at this calendar and thinking on June 28, 1979 it was my husband's 4th birthday...I wasn't even born yet. That's just amazing and also a tad unsettling! =)

Looks like a bathroom from a girl scout camp.......

There are two cemeteries on the property, I know one has been cleaned up and a memorial set in some time ago, not sure about the status of the other.

I don't think anyone plans to relocate the graves, so they will probably remain where they are.

John Archer has one, although I don't know much about the transaction. He is standing in front of the detached spire in this news article photograph - http://www2.townonline...2221&format=text

Also found some shots of another spire and the metal ornament that everyone wanted to have, they look to be ready for auctioning off. There are some photos of the Kirkbride being gutted on the second page as well. http://community.websh...lbum/551863350xjSrDw
