I think its more along the lines that maybe... The windows are broken right... And the vines are growing up the buiilding... And beggining to grow towards the inside of the building... Maybe ?

I was thinking the same thing. Get out the skates and play some hockey. Fun!

Who's in the photograph? A freaking ghost! Whoa! I jest of course, but it really does look like someone is standing or sitting on the right of the stairs near the wall with dark hair and really loose clothes. Just the way the different textures on the stairs line up, I imagine, but it caught me off-guard when I first noticed it.

That hose thingy looks like one of those banana slugs you would find in the woods in Northern California. No foolin' they grow to about a foot long. Yuck. I almost stepped on once.

I wish things were still Shhh! The last 3 times I've been to a movie theater there has been some dumb-a who thinks it's a good time to talk on his cell phone. ugh.

WWLT?

I don't find it creepy. I think it's rather relaxing. Like a lush forrest on a quiet summer afternoon.

Lynne - If I were a ghost I'd run away from you.

You mustn't forget that these mental hospitals held mental patients in them. Some patients were a danger to themselves and to others so certain steps have to be taken to ensure that they and those around them are kept safe. The bars over the windows were not a way to imprison someone inside the institution, but were a way to keep them safe from harm. I am uncertain what story this room is at Danvers however even a second story fall from a building can be fatal.

The curtains over the windows were not an attempt to be sketchy but were an attempt to make the atmosphere for the patient more pleasant. You mustn't automatically assume things from how you initially see them.

If you were a patient at this hospital and you were unable to control yourself like you do today would you not prefer that the administration take steps to keep you safe like putting bars over your windows so that you wouldn't be able to just crash through the glass and falling to your death and certain bodily disarrangement? And then wouldn't you appreciate it if they took it a step more and tried to make your settings warmer by adding curtains in your room? I think you would.

So please try not to be so narrow minded and think things through before automatically thinking torture and human destruction.

its like jail for crazy people. i dont know whats more strange, the bars, with the curtains...or just bars. very sketchy..

I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU CANT GO!!!
