This one is pretty cool, almost eerie... I like the composition of it, not too busy yet a still moment of a probably busy night...elsewhere. Just astounding in its presentation, almost like a postcard snap...

Wow... This retake is like a really well-done remastering of the original. Still reminds me of the house in the Amityville Horror, but kind like its evil relative... Or looking like the reason for the whole haunting in the first place...

Holy sweet Hannah!!! Wow... I mean that is a perfect shot!!! Looks so evil... So classic... Like it wants to take whoever's soul who enters it... Just. Blown. Away...

Now this looks like it could have been used as an establishing shot for a Classic Clunker (or quite low-budget) horror film... Very well done!!!

Wow... This looks like another one of the high-speed pics snapped about a trillionth of a second after detonation of a nuclear device... Just outstanding imagery here...

I like this one... The entrance in shadow makes me think of the horse carriages pulling up with another involuntarily commited lunatic... Or maybe voluntary...

Wow... Don't comment on the panorama's (no offense), but this one deserves one... Composition is excellent, but while there is indeed a little blurriness, it is to me a bit grainy really... Again a great shot!!!

Woah... Truly excellent and eerie at the same time... Albeit a bit jarring in a weird sense as the IR filter puts the image in a sort of mismatched state... No fault of Mr. Kirsch of course. Just turned out that way...

This is a truly stark yet beautiful image... Makes me want to listen to Welcome Home (Sanitarium) by Metallica...

That is indeed *not* a mimeograph... Those were much smaller and indeed that ink smelled so good... Which probably explains *quite* a lot... LOL!!! Of course in an alternate universe there probably was an outcry over the "Paper Sniffers" which led to its demise...

Looks like indeed a Linotype plate. Those machines are quite large. This more than likely was used to print a newspaper circulated around the asylum... It looks like it was indeed about someone undergoing a surgery and the word "winter" can be seen, leading me to conclude roughly this was used for an in-house newspaper.

That is one *scary* shot... The round windows look like eyes, and it reminds me big time of that house from the Amityville Horror. Not to mention it looks like its *daring* you to step across. This is the one main reason they try to keep people from exploring these places...

Very interesting... The "face* is indeed a reflection, not a spectre. Some pics of UFOs that have been taken from inside a well-lit room very close to a window (lens being like less than 1' away) are sometimes merely reflections from the lights in the room. (but not all)

Looks like a secure storage room... Probably a drug room... The dial in the middle seems to support this. Need more concrete info, but drug room might be right...

Really excellent shot... Looks like stumbling into a secret lodge room or something close to it... Eerie and classic at the exact same time..
