Horrid rumors started to circulate during the 1950's.
Anyone who dared to speak up was found dead.
Cause of death was labeled accidental suicide by misadventure.

The gears are turning in someone's head.
Someone is formulating a moneymaking horror film.

Stranger in the Fog.

It's "Pat" from Saturday Night Live from New York
starring Julie Anne Sweeny, December 1990.

That's Pat !

Some of you are right about the jail but most are wrong. I was there everyday of the demolition and took over 350 photos as I walked every foot of the place. I have a cell door and the guard shack door (the only one of its kind used there) that I got during demo. I have a handle used to pull to lock the cell doors of one row simultaneously. Heavy brass. I have several bricks which contain the name of the brick company that cast it. Went into the underground areas before they became buried
Anyway an experience I will never forget. A great memory

do you know if it’s still up?

These pictures are quite disturbing. I used to work in some of the group homes and heard about what the clients went through. Being abused, molested, etc. It's morbid

I'm impressed. The room is very clean and that couch looks to be in good condition still. Great photo.

It reads "Toots," it was a metal piece made by a graffiti artist for his girlfriend.

Hi Stacey, I wasn't able to photograph the place before it was trashed, however there are images of the hospital in operation on the main location page:

This is really sad they were going to save this but it bunt down and the were going to SAVE IT .This WAS hudson river state hospital its no more very sad

They could gut the inside and make condos and keep the beautiful structure and medical building its build like a fortress many layers of brick

Neat
