I have goosebumps looking at these. Seriously.
: (

Motts, is this where the fire was?

I agree, Truckie. All of these wonderful pics are showing the pain and sadness of the people that were there.

My bet is those scratches were made by the poor souls that were locked in there at the time and it was their only way of showing their anxiety and fear.

This is probably where they put the patients that acted out. And they probably stayed in there til the dang nurse or whoever so fit to let them out. Jerks.

"That said, there are rumours that a lone hermit lives (or lived) on the Duke of Lancaster, the remains of a beached liner on the Welsh coast. That is what you might call 'extreme squatting'..."


That was me back in the day. But now I live on a nice boat of my own. Who says the homeless are hopeless ? ;~)

Look at the condition. Would you take it? LOL

My local Wal*Mart was once a peach orchard. I can still picture the rows and rows of peach trees.

Too cool matey!

Great contrast! I don't think I'll ever be able to shop at this Wal Mart when I visit home. It's too depressing to think about. I don't guess the corporate Wal Mart "big shots" will even put up a plaque or memorial to this sad, soon-to-be gone place.

Pretty amazing that a mattress even remains.

Thank you Motts! I've been waiting! I was lucky enough to go on a school field trip to Dixmont when I was a youngster. I know, what a strange field trip that was, and I know I'm showing my age! The only thing I remember was that the clients were scary...I was too young to remember anything else. And too foolish to realize that the clients probably weren't too terribly scary at all.

Something about the lines running down the roof and the red of the bricks just scream "pain" to me. I can almost feel the patients in this picture.

That modern Exit sign just doesn't quite fit in, making this picture evn more haunted.

wow, thats really deep
