As a child in the 1960's I remember my poor mother going in and out of Norwich State Hospital. My mother had a thick Brazilian accent as well as mental illness and emotional instability. She always told us horror stories of receiving electro shock therapy as well as being put in a bathtub filled with ice. Any pictures of the hospital reminds me only of her deep suffering there. Because us kids were so young we were only able to wave at our mother up in a window. How sad. I don't believe she received very much compassion there.

my last posting was a little INFLUINCED.buti am 47 years old and still intranced by this place. i was raised i n the area and used to explore the old side when it shut down.junod playground used to be almost connected to the old grounds of the hospital .Goddog knows.the last com sounds like shes pissed for notin

its o2 i weld alot same as oxy acetylene torches

oh ya, this is my favorite one. lol

I just want to say that I've seen every picture there is to see in this entire sight and have spent literally hours reading the comments following each one. I've kept my comments, questions, and critiques inside for so long and when I saw this series I was overcome with so much emotion.

I actually am writing a book about a girl in a mental hospital and had already starting writing it before I discovered this site. So, to get in the "mood" before I write, I look through this site, especially Cupid's Demise. I know what it's like to feel like her. All the eerie images of the psych wards that you guys commented on being "scary" I have seen and often have nightmares. Writing this book is my only way to let it all out and share it. I need to.

I just want to tell you Motts that I've looked through many, many abandoned asylum galleries besides yours and personally I like yours best. I wish I would've put more input to this site when I spent my time going through the site slowly on a 56k modem (talk about dedication) but I was always to lazy and worried about rambling on to much and boring everyone else (like I'm probably doing now), but you have put so many wonderful photos in here that I just had to say something. So in replace of the comments I probably would've put on every page, I've breifly compiled it into this long ass corny rambling. Thank you. ^_^

I have to agree with Van Gogo, except the trip may encourage then considering the places just scream to be explored.

hey 'mom that cares' you do realize that they will most likley give you a warning for trespassing or just escort you off the property. Most cops dont want to do the paper work that is involved with that kinda thing.

Again, this looks like some old town, sort of on the lines of what Celine says. Not that anyone would want to live in a haunted ex sanitarium, but could you imagine the housing problems they could solve? LOL!!! There's a lot of room in those old buildings! I wouldn't want to because of the haunted thing, but, ...well, I was just saying. LOL!!! :D

You know, this photo looks like it is an ariel shot of an old town or village! LOL! Man these places are big!!! What a shame to lose them! <:(
I'd like to have one of those weather vane thingies if they're going to throw them away, tho! ;) What, are they copper?

hi mom. maybe you need to be first when they reopen

hey "mom that cares " check out my screen name and see how it applies to you. if you dont like whats going on here dont come here. we all like it on some level so leave us alone.

I've been browsing the photos of these places and reading the posts... you're some interesting folks !:)
This really sucks, what a neat old, albiet, I suppose, haunted, building.
>sigh< Everything was so important at one time, now to be returned to dust. :(
This is my first post.
Wonderful photography by the way! :)
