Wow - So glad I'm not alone!

I <3 Lynne...

I wish my work allowed unions.

its interesting (for me, anyway) to read a UK perspective on the issue of release of clients from these institutions to be cared for by the "community" when they closed down, which the majority have. i work with the homeless through choice but my background is in behavioural psych. its incredible for me to see the amount of people with mental health problems who were originally institutionalised in places designed to cope with and assist them now totally institutionalised (and sometimes still raging) in the hostel environment. its like our health ser vice has cast people off for the voluntary sector to deal with because they just WONT assist. community care (imo) was one of the worst things our govt ever did for mental health. i have an elderly (ish) client who is schizophrenic but controlled by a cocktail and depo injections, whenever something alters in her environment she writes letters and signs them off as "shockman".. turns out she was regularly subjected to ECT in one of the hospitals that she was sectioned in.
it just enrages me at times.
i could go on for ages about this venting my various and occasionally confrontational views.. but i wont as im killing for cup of coffee!

A Visitors Couch Maybe?

well done... I went to school in one of the dormitories when they used a few of them until the new school was up and running... I still live in Belchertown and drive through the grounds on a regular basis... it truely is amazing

SATANS HUTCH!

I Agree. I can also see a face. with piercing eyes. and i'm not game to look at it again

Reminds me of a place that used to haunt my dreams during my depression, only the light wasn't there.

It's an awesome photo. Just creepy.

On the rare occasion that they actually put a crazy person in there, these would send them crazier xD

MOTTS
Do you know by chance when this place was last used?

OH GREAT,,,,now im hungry.

there coming to get you barbara!!!!

this is like a tool video,only way awesomer,but i see no one.

That's absolutely freaking creepy. It gives me the feeling that more than one someone has been pushed down those stairs =/

Sweet photo though, the way that it's like the light bits, and the dark corner.

It's freaky. It gives me the impression the walls are coming to meet you. And they aren't very welcoming. If you stare at it hard enough it looks like blood though.

I Love it, in a creepy way
