Motts, Why are you so awesome.

I just love the art on the back of the stage. Everytime I see this picture that is the first thing I see.

Awsome! Awsome! Awsome!
Your web sight is by far they best on the subject of asylums I have ever seen, I would like to talk with you about a film script that I am writing,
email me bvofilms@localnet.com, Shawn

If anyone has button I would love one!

Rednek is just some stoner dude that hung there for a brief moment in time. Wierd guy.
Buck is the caretaker of Byberry. He knows it inside out and in the dark. He's more in tune with this place than anyone I've ever met. It's fuckin' scary. He shows up and disappears from and into the thin air like a phantom. This dude could definitely kill you silently and slip away like the fog.
I drink beers with him whenever I see him, he's one cool motherfucker.

some say in this dentist station they would yank your teeth out on contact!!!!!!!!!

does anyone notice that buck and redneck are taged in almost every pic : x

Algae, maybe? Either on the windows where the sunshines in or on the walls themselves.

As long as it stands, the Philadelphia Police will be patrolling the grounds.

The only hallway that's flooded is the one that goes past the "C"s and goes under Southampton Road. It been flooded forever. It goes right smack into a cement wall construction workers put up years ago.

i been there n i didn't see anything but if youre there, u can feel something that gives u the icy chills down ur neck. i was too scared to go certain places, u do hear things too.

nebody know if the basement is still flodded n if the underground passages r blocked?

nebody know if the cops still patrol there?

For some reason, duriong the day, light appears green in many parts of Byberry. Motts has a few pics here with greenish hue all taken during the day.
