its just torn curtains but at first it did look like people

weird how everything else gets trashed but curtains stay!!! heyy...those curtains would match my bright blue walls in my room!! i would wash them first!!

looks like someone got a hold of the wiring for scrap.

i had a friend in mexico who tried to close the valve on one of those things while having grease on his hands...they knew it was him because of a gold tooth they found a block away from where the accident happened.

How could you know that that box was inside the cornerstone, of all places? Or do they always put things into cornerstones when constructing buildings? Very interesting nonetheless.

Very interesting reading, Ben B!
Thank you for your comments.

I love old radiators

I would love to be in there.

LOL! Good one Lynne ;)

I totally agree with you kanon.

Speaking of graffitti in remote locations, I've noticed that where I live there is a pattern of graffitti being made in as hard to get places as possible. Like for instance, in an abandoned building from the old asylum in the town next to mine there isn't that much graffitti inside the actual building apart from one cell that is locked and also full of tags which you can see through a small window in the door. All other cells are unlocked and open (did I mention that this was the maximum security building as well?). Another place would be under one of these huge roadbridges that crosses the big river that runs through the city. They climb out a long way on the supporting I-beams underneath and do graffitti. And while standing on those I-beams you got about 10 inches from the center and out of the beam to stand on and from there it'd be about 15-20 yards of free fall down into the icecold and streamy water below.

Oh... A set of pics from Waverly Hills would be so wonderful to see here! I have the movie Death Tunnel that was recorded there and I really love the surroundings seen in the movie. Both inside and outside of the building.

So it'd really be a pleasure so see some more stuff from there!

Now, why is it that just because some places are decayed they seem to be almost automatically haunted according to some?

Wow... This picture is enchanting! I absolutely love it!

I kind of wonder the same thing as Jim does, but I think that the answer probably is the streets, unfortunately...

It just makes me so pissed that everywhere it seems no one cares about the mentally ill anymore, just throw 'em out, close down and "save" some money.
