is it true that some woman was murdered by another patient here? if so is it accompanied by paranormal activity? is it haunted?

Labelstar's don't know what he's talking about. Mad Funny that everyone besides Goddog, radical ed, urmom, and coman dont know what there talking about.

The gym was located on the East Side, not in main complex. The East Side is across the Blvd. It was a small building with glass on both long sides and doors on ends, small office also at one end.

In the basement of W-3 there were many interesting tunnels and sub-tunnels. These lead to the Kitchen across the small street , to W-6 and ?? because even in the 70's there were some sub-tunnels locked off by metal gates.

This small auditorium was on the ground floor in the office side of W-3. It was used by the Education Dept. for lectures and conferences.

Furey Ellis Hall was the large auditorium, it was a stand along buliding, used for Christmas shows, etc. A smaller auditorium was in W-3 in the section used for offices by the Education Dept., it was used for confereences. In the basement of W-3 was a medical auditorium used for autopsies.

W-6 has a long history. At one time the "East Unit" relocated there. It was last occupied by the SMRU who moved there from C-8,9&10 in the summer of 1988. Last patient left in February 1989.

There was a gym on the East side of facility. It was a one story building with glass on both long sides and a small office at one end. I worked at Byberry from 11-71 to 2-89.

I had a aunt that worked for Byberry from 1950 to 1952.

Wow, very interesting, the reason behind the curved hallway... I'd of never thought of the curve as a mesure to prevent beds being placed in the hall.

Is that the infirmiary?

I agree with Scott it isn't scary.

IS THAT OXYGEN?

yeah, it looks like sherm. it's probably some ANTIpsychotic (or a fluid sample).

It looked better when they where tearing down Byberry it didn't have all the weeds right ?
