Were these people buried on the property with number-markers or did any family come forward when they died? So many in institutions are just buried on the property. I've read so many sad stories about that.

All I know, is all I can think of when I look at this picture is how many bodies were laid in there. Kind of scarey but I still would love to tour places like this. My daughters and I used to go ghost-hunting all the time; and look for old abandoned buildings.

Gee, I have a Canon EOS digital rebel. I know my pictures turn out really good but I guess I don't really know how to use it professionally. Guess I better start reading-up on my book!

Just beautiful!!!! Please don't tell me you go to these places alone. What if you get hurt? Who would find you and the worse question is WHEN?

What is in the center of the circle of grass? Some kind of stone monument? I'm sure in its' day, everything here must have been really awsome!

As much as it pains me to say this, please do not fan (groan) the flames of this conflict any further, Fan People. Thanking you in advance, all sides of this, for your consideration.

My good friend Brian here is right. 95% of fans in abanoned buildings will NEVER be used again. If the owner actually does come in contact with the fan(s), it will most likely be thrown in a dumpster or a landfill somewhere.

Plus, most of the fans seen on the AFCA were acquired at thrift shops, estate/garage sales, e-bay, or from other collectors. Not all of those fans were stolen, and who really gives a flying fuck about fair market value anyway? If you can get a really nice fan for cheap, well so be it. Oh, and you're making it sound like the AFCA is a cult... BULLSHIT! The AFCA is no different than Opacity. It's a place for collectors, like Opacity is a place for UEs and those who like abandonments.
