I have to agree with vapor. Very alienish

session 9 is a great movie, thats how I heard of Danvers,,,Mott, you are crazy for going in there, but in a good way of course.....

EXCELLENT LINK, JIM H. THANKS!

But shouldn't the "captions" be under the appropriate picture? It looks like Green is under the blue room and Blue is under the green room. It would confuse my 2 year old.

I need to get out more.

Wow, yes definitely great to see the chapel back then, thanks!

I taught in this room from 1965-68. About 75 of the students still keep in touch on the internet. It's spirit lives on !

Actually, the original owner of the Estate had the tower built so he could watch the trotters race at the track in Goshen.

I'am almoust sure that the upper left is James Hetfield from Metallica and it must be dated before 1991

I grew up in Baltimore and it was a special treat to go to the Enchanted Forest! I remember thinking it was such a long ride from Catonsville to Enchanted Forest...."Dad, are we there yet?!!!"

Flashlights.

It was built 1874-1878... the Danvers State Hospital link up top has some historical information and current plans for the site. http://www.opacity.us/site22.htm

The morgue was in a small separate building, this photo is from the CTG.

The missing shingles on either side are probably not mere coincidence, there was a big fiasco a while back where people were throwing them off the roof, I don't know much about it.

Sorry Moe, I don't have photos of the Gables!

In the early 80's I found an abandoned cemetery, and while exploring it, I came across one of these fenced-in trees.

I returned to the area in 2001, and found it cleaned up a bit, but many headstones were still laying on the ground in several broken pieces, and the tree was still fenced in.

Jim H, thanks for the link. Seems hard to believe that such a beautiful building could quickly fall apart as quickly as it did.
