I live on the grounds of the hospital now where they have built new apts. They do plan on tearing this down in about 2 years or so.Sad.

Oh the desparate lasses that I have know with the slices on there arms and stomach and most areas on there mutilated bodies. How sad and how the empathy flowed from me for them. Bless there tormented souls.

This pictures certainly looks medieval.
Does it remind anybody of knights, dragons, trolls, fairies, and elves?

this picture is so very disturbing, but so artistic!!
you really have some talent, keep it up man!

i began x-ray school in late 1977. we had old equipment but none that was quite this old. the extending metal arm w/the cables to the left that end w/a metal disc mounted on what looks like a cone-shape- that device on the end is the x-ray tube itself. the vertical square beam coming from behind &over the top of the box is how you move the tube up & down. it probably also rotates. the knobs you see are how you set the machine. i think this is an old portable machine, probably from the 60s.
those things were hell to push!!

thank you, johnny mac, for posting what must be the thoughts of many caregivers in all aspects of health care.

"Come out, come out, where ever you are...Thehehehee.."

"Okay.. No more miss nice angel.."

Thanks! The sounds of dripping water usually echo throughout the place. It's always very quiet unless it's a windy day; then you hear the wind howling through the structure, panes of glass rattling in their frames, and doors slamming shut and creaking open.

Some of the more unpleasant noises I've heard quite a few times: the crunch of tires on gravel from a cruiser patrolling outside, the thumping and screaming hiss of steam through semi-active tunnels, the noises of construction workers and hospital staff working just outside, and the heavy boots crunching along the paint covered floor as you're hiding out from the officer looking for you!

Motts, the visuals are phenomenal but what do you hear... when you're listening.

One of the creepiest and disturbing pics I've seen. So much unsaid. Great!

the entrance to hell...must have been what people saw when first seeing this...basements have always been... well...you have to get into movies Motts. Session 9 could've benefitted from your vision!

the grass almost looks like algae or some disease coming to take over - great pic

Sorta like going to wake where the subject has been dead for at least a decade.

one of the walls of the rooms had deep finger nail maks and finger nails left at the end. some of the things seen were to much believe as fake
