3,485 Comments for Philadelphia State Hospital (Byberry)

I am with Motts and other posters not to sound like MR Byberry but out of all the times i hung out there and the years i spent in there, i never had a super natural experience. I don't know if people realize it but people PURPOSELY would mess with people who clearly didn't know their way around, no i personally didn't i thought it was wrong since at one point i didn't know my way around but i got lucky and met a group who really knew that place better than most of their homes haha. I remember a specific person who would catch people and did the blood curtailing scream, quickly change spots then do it again making the person or group think it was coming from all around them...

This is a really good picture of it.... Nice job.

This was toast right after i started going in there luckily i got to see it a couple times...but it wasn't one of our chill spots at the point when i got there, it was so messed up their were better spots. Just glad i got to see this and a bunch of other spots before they got ruined.

Awesome picture man.. As alot of people have said they are dead on where they say it is.... well WAS. god i miss the good ole days of hanging out in byberry atleast 4 days a week and either exploring some days others just hanging out with good people. If ya haven't picked up on it, byberry had almost like a family in there a bunch of people hung out in there constantly. it was a fun place to wander, chill, TRIP, Explore have a great time. Even after years of chillen it never seemed to get old, always good times. I miss byberry alot now looking at these.

Man, People had stencils and would spray em everywhere. It wasn't a patient... I was in there ALOT and yes i will admit it became a hang out. Everyonce in a while though we'd do our wander around and see if we could find new area's we never saw before they got burnt or cut off or the catacombs which would flood so ya could only get into them certain times. Awesome Pictures i appreciate the photography being a huge black a white fan. As Someone else said up there, People who commonly hung out in there would do stencils, Write their names THOUSANDS of times, Mess with people,ETC. The thing was when ya knew your way around ya could do whatever under places got burnt and ruind...

Surreal...yet so real! I remember.

Was it possible to go from the laundry (S-8) all the way under Southampton RD and get to W-7 by using the tunnels?

it would still put that perfect diamond shape on a ice 16 oz steak

Did anybody else notice that somebody wrote "Alcohol ruins lives" everywhere?

Radical Ed or Motts, or any other Byberrian. I know they demolished these buildings years ago, but does anyone have a pic of the pool ? Of all the great pictures, I can't find any of the pool! Rad Ed, cool you put a metal touch to the tag!

I had friend who climbed that pipe to the left to get to the roof

if you take a right turn youll go to a tunnel under ground to the shock treatment room

I use to visit in 85 the best place is to go is the tunnel under the cemetary

This brings back memories. I still have 2 glass bottles from this room, a small one and a medium one. =)

if anyone reads these comments still i can recommend the 'scared' shows from byberry (how funny to see Radical Ed wandering past in one of the corridors) and Danvers. they're on youtube...
