485 Comments for Manteno State Hospital

I Love this Web Site Motts. Keep up the wonderful work.

reminds me of the high school i attended...but cleaner

These hospitals are going to ruin because of neglect. I feel its better for someone to use them for art ,such as what this person did, rather then leave it for vandals.

It almost looks like they found some patients file and wrote down some doctor notes

These shots are amazing. Has anybody ever transcribed the writing on these walls? I'd be very curious to know what it all says. Normally I'd write it off as graffiti, but obviously somebody really had something to say to go to such an extent.

This place looks like something out of Silent Hill

the same photographer girl that did the Gennie bathroom also painted this room. you can see it soon after completion here:

Lynne, actually I just read that some places did perform ice baths. I imagine that most of the time they were used to subdue a patient who was particularly "unruly". So it isn't an urban legend. Maybe Manteno State Hospital didn't use the method, but there were some places that did.

DSH - you think?......

i was in this room......and never saw writing like this

ceilings are high....10 feet or more....
good place to play checkers

i have been here many times....always have an eerie feel...as if someone is watching

that is art
