Weasel, not sure how to deal with a whole mess of forum. I loved that whole bedeviled place and it holds so many memories in my life. I was an itegral part of it all and to this day it predominates many of my dreams. It's haunting but not unpleasant. Faces and places go from my life of dream time to my life in real time. Sometimes it's difficult to discern what important and what fluff. It's a wonderful website and gives me an outlet for expression. Guidness, probably.

I'm not going swear that this happened, but I believe that I got laid in this room for the sheer hell of it. This even scares me.

I think I had a bowl of that as an appetizer last night when I went to a local restaraunt. Mmmm, good.

Looks totally digital to me.

These we're offshoots of the main tunnel and held those little ledges that one can see one the left hand side. I surmise that these places were the oldest part of the main bldg. complex and might have held patients. I also remember that just away from these funny little cretches that in the main tunnel that there semblances of nursing stations. Can anyone give me a take on this observation?

perfection.

tonite....im going to video tape my experiance at the foxboro state insane asylum with my friend. wish us luck....

The mouth gag ensured that the patient's mouth was immobilised during an exploration or operation on the mouth, trachea (airway to the lungs), larynx (the voice box) or the oesophagus (the gullet). When the finger holds are brought together the instrument opens. It works like a pair of scissors, only backwards. There was also a smaller version for use on children.

As said before, they would perform experiments on them because they thought they were insane and useless to the world. Thus, they could be a medical discovery when experimented on. Most werent really insane either, alot autistic and a bunch just got a few "problems".

Whoa! Uhg, bwah! Cool distortion.

If you look at the blue wall falling apart, it looks like a map with all them peelings in it.

I was a patient there. I know what the mouth gags were for. They had nothing to do with ECT, but you folks go on with your fantasies. Heaven forbid anyone should intrude with facts.

Check out the deteriorating walls!

I dont like toilets that low though; it makes me suspicious...
