Rad Ed, haha nice work, too bad its since been demolished.. we always knew that's what eventually would happen anyway... too those of us who wander those halls late at night drinking, smoking, joking, pretending to be the little rebels we all are inside. it was ours... a place were we felt like home, and in that it kept us from doing the above activities in neighborhoods. For some of us it was a contest, a navigational system.. hey i've been here... and i know you were there.. lets try going here... haha well it frivoulous now, our
escape is gone... but our memories live on..

GoddoG you removed the Byberry website - why?

if u only knew what those pt's went thru.......the abuses its right ou of a Poe novel

i worked there iback in 86 tis an evil place and yes a murder took place there horrible abuses to pt.s by staff, etc... and underground tunnels which were used for.........interesting purposes

i hate when people try to see or make something scary up by just looking at a picture. simply because of the history of the place. don't always suspect something scary will be caught on camera just because many buildings have a "dark past". if you carefully at this person supposedly standing far off down the hallway, you can obviously tell it's another window. either the sun was setting and the sun was hitting another direction of the building. there was some sheer curtain there, or again with the direction of the sun the shadow of another part of the building grew and it shaded that part of the window which explains the color of the light going through that window.

read the bible skye, 666 is the number of the beast and 999 is the opposite

Old thread I know, but older X-ray film is also handy for opening locked doors. And no I'm not going to tell you how I know, either.

I was the singer of that band and its so funny to hear that... We had rolls of them... Our drummer had a huge mix-matched kit with THOUSANDS of
"doublechecked" McDonalds stickers on it... We even had a gig at the Troc where they made us clean up the stickers our fans riddled the front of the stage with...
We LIVED in Byberry. I have piles of pics of us in there... You guys are the BEST for putting up this site...

I thought it was a diaper.

And my kitchen had those tiles once.
