Whoa. Looking at it with a certain mind. It kinda looks like a space age 1970s space ship from the inside.

OMG, they didn't say wouldn't it be cool to perform a lobotomy in that hall??? No, they were joking about the persons present in the picture... I think everyone understands that these places had the tendency and ability to do terrible and frightening things. However these things are in the past we cannot change them and being curious about the buildings themselves is not a crime. Trespassing is but that’s another conversation...

I live right by this place, and have been dying to go for so many years. I plan to go later in the summer, but ever since the fire happened, security and construction details have made it increasingly harder/more dangerous to go. Awesome photos Motts! I may have to live vicariously though them, lol if I'm not able to go

HOW MANY FACES LOOKED OUT OF THIS WINDOW? SOME WERE SANE. SOME WERE INNOCENT. SOME HAD BEEN THERE SINCE BIRTH. SOME HAD BEEN INSANE. SOME HAD BEEN PREGNANT. SOME HAD CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK. SOME WERE HANDICAPPED. SOME HAD MISSING LIMBS. ALL NEVER GOT OUT ALIVE. SOME NEVER GOT OUT DEAD AS THEY WERE BURIED WITHIN THE PERIMITER.

BUT REMEMBER HOW MANY PATIENTS SUFFERD ABUSE AT THE HANDS OF OTHER PATIENTS AND FORMER EMPLOYEES AND ENDED UP AT THE BOTTOM OF THESE STAIRS! REMEMBER PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS HAVE A DARK AND DISTURBING PAST THAT SHOULD BE RESPECTED AND NEVER FORGTTON.

NO JOKE! THIS IS A HOSPITAL WITH A LOT OF HISTORY TAILS AND SAD SAD STORIES THAT WOULD BREAK THE MOST HARDENED OF MEN. WHAT HAPPENED IN PLACES LIKE THIS IS HARD TO IMAGINE, YET WHAT DID HAPPEN HERE IS TRUE AND SHOCKING. BEATINGS, RAPE, MOLESTATION, ELECTRIC-SHOCK TREATMENT, LABOTOMIES (AKA BRAIN SURGERY), PSYCHIATRIC EXPERIMENTS ON LIVING PATIENTS WITH NEW DRUGS (200 YEARS AGO+ TO 1990) NEW "THERAPIES" NEW "TREATMENTS" MOST OF WHICH WENT HORRIBLY WRONG LEAVING THE SUBJECT PATIENTS WORSE THAN THEY WERE, CABBAGE LIKE AND OR DEAD. IF THIS WERE YOU WOULD YOU JOKE? PEOPLE FORGET.....BROADMOOR STILL USES THESE TREATMENTS TO THIS DAY....PATIENTS MAY HAVE IT CUSHY ACCORDING TO NEWSPAPERS BUT FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE CAN NEVER BE ANYTHING BUT THE TRUTH!

THE OLD WOMAN YOU "SEE" IS INFACT A FORMER PATIENT!! SHE WAS BORN IN THE INSTITUTION WHEN HER MOTHER WAS PLACED THERE AS A RESULT OF PREGNANCY OUT OF WEDLOCK.
THE LADY HAD THE QUATER MILE CORRIDOR NAMED AFTER HER ON HER 80TH BIRTHDAY. SHE DIED IN THERE HAVING NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE HOSPITAL GROUNDS AT THE AGE OF 92.
