3,485 Comments for Philadelphia State Hospital (Byberry)

I am 60 minutes from Byberry.

I would have wanted the morgue trays for work benches etc.

He said he had never been there. But he's sure it must have been a friend of his that lived around there.
Lol, i think he was a bit suprised to see it there though.

I love the site, all the pictures are amazing.
This one jumped out at me because of the word "SANE". The reason for this is that i believe it may have been my uncle (or one of his friends) that painted that there years ago. When he was younger, he use to do alot of graffiti, and that word he seemed to tag all over the city. He even has it tattooed in that exact text style on his leg. I'll have to show him this picture and see if he remembers if it was him.
Thanks for the awesome pictures, im fasinated with old buildings and id love to visit some of these some day. Jim

that fan in the backround kind of looks like the one my boss uses on jobs. wonder if he stole it from byberry.

talk about fu#&ed up

i found a video from 1994 on youtube were you can see all the dores still intact http://www.youtube.com...&feature=related only one was missing but this place was really trashed back then but yea im guessing vandles ripped them off some how

It's strangely peaceful in a suicidal sort of way.

I had a dream about this place... I'm from Nova Scotia and I haven't been anywhere near Philadelphia but I thought I would tell you about it.

I dreamed that I was exploring this place with a group of people. I had a really fancy camera. We wandered down this white cement hallway lined with doors. I went through one door, peered over a wall, and I realized it was a shower stall. It was dimly lit. Hanging from the shower head was a woman's torso. Her flesh was rotting from her body, and a chunk of her blonde hair was standing on end because of the blood. The floor was covered in coagulated blood. I took a picture, we all bolted, and we called the police.

And then some woman and "I" (I didn't look like me) were driving down a highway in a new black Jaguar convertable, lol.

It has been a while since I looked at this paticular gallery, but I thought I would check it out to see if the Byberry hallways matched the one in my dream... naw, the one in my dream was too new looking, but it was pretty freaky none the less.

STAY NEGATIVE!!!!

it looks like a place I could see Helmet or the Melvins playing in.

Wow, i adore this picture. Its just so amazing and the lighting is perfect!
