What do ya think? Now we have a story line. My guess it could turned into a t.v. series with real life stories. Whoopee, a new reality series. I don't think so.

your work is great!she looks like kristen dunst with long black hair

amazing work...fascinating...should be in a gallery

Thanks for sharing, dee dee. I'm glad that you overcame a lot, and that you are doing well now!

Now we know where they got the workers for the Big Dig.

Yes, the bed does look suprisingly comfortable. Nice and firm. I guess it all depends on what "sleep number" you are.

i once walked the halls, tunnels and grounds....did you ever stop and listen to the wind? Are you sure the wind is what you are hearing...dee dee sd in a few pictures back that the souls will remain..do you thinkith this is true?

the souls walk, the souls speak..the souls will always speak...who will listen to them? Take the bulidings away, the souls will still haunt in good ways and bad ways..BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS WANT TO BE LISTENED TO!!!

I lived here for a year....I ws not crazy, I was not insane....I was living in a world of deep pain and anger..i was lashing out at anyone and everyone...STRANGE BUT TRUE....Northhamton State Hospital saved my life!! I saw what would happen to me if i did not deal with my internal pain..my family secret...I also saw what would happen to me if i did deal with and come clean about my hidden past...so I spoke out of my abuse, I let the staff, doctors, mha"s and my therapist know everything...I screamed, yelled, cried and then I healed
my heart and soul. I grew up,I stopped self abuse, I no longer hated men, but grew to trust them...If the walls of Northhampton Hospital could talk..my story would be told..as I am sure the story of many others would be told, good, bad happy and sad...in my case the hospital was a blessing...in the case of many others, the walls of the hospital is where lives ended, via mind insanity, suicide and or just natural death.

Johnny Mac, I think that it would be fabulous if you joined, you do have so much to share with all of us, and you talk about your experiences with such, love for what you did for these people who depended on you!!! please think about it!! :-)

Weasel, not sure how to deal with a whole mess of forum. I loved that whole bedeviled place and it holds so many memories in my life. I was an itegral part of it all and to this day it predominates many of my dreams. It's haunting but not unpleasant. Faces and places go from my life of dream time to my life in real time. Sometimes it's difficult to discern what important and what fluff. It's a wonderful website and gives me an outlet for expression. Guidness, probably.

I'm not going swear that this happened, but I believe that I got laid in this room for the sheer hell of it. This even scares me.

I think I had a bowl of that as an appetizer last night when I went to a local restaraunt. Mmmm, good.

Looks totally digital to me.

These we're offshoots of the main tunnel and held those little ledges that one can see one the left hand side. I surmise that these places were the oldest part of the main bldg. complex and might have held patients. I also remember that just away from these funny little cretches that in the main tunnel that there semblances of nursing stations. Can anyone give me a take on this observation?
