our old xrays used to be collected by a company that paid the hospital for them.... the reason they collected them was to cash in on the silver contained in the xray print.... I'll bet thats why there are none left at byberry

RadicalEd, Thanks so much for posting that link.
I read the entire web site, her talent was totally amazing and her life was totally tragic!
It really puts things into prespective when you think you have it bad and then read a story like Anna's........
She probably will never know that her coming forward helped so many others form a similar fate as hers......

Well, *I* see a severed forearm next to a can of natural light on the right-hand side of the page. Are you going to tell me that I am mistaken?!

Seriously, I don't ever see anything in these pictures (except for cool buildings), but then again, I'm not a ghost hunter.

I was there when this pic was taken and climbing on the roof here is an excercise in silliness, especially on a 94 degree day.

I have to admit once my friends and I went into an abandonded state hospital and almost got lost it was the scariest moment of my life I really didn't think we were going to find our way out. There were hallways going left and right straight ahead and it was pitch black in there. The next time we went in we did bring a can of spray paint but we just made small circles so we would know how to get out. We did not spray an entire wall or anything like that.

The photo is chilling.
It is such a shame that individuals deface the surroundings with their nonsense.
Thank you for the photos.
