From my perspective, that door to the right, it looks almost new! Looks so modern, it contrasts with its surroundings.

I would hate I had to be locked up like that and no handles on the inside. What if someone had to get out in an emergency? For instance, a fire?
Gee.

It looks like I am about to walk right through those doors and into the ward itself. It is so realistic.

Why do some mental facilities have wire mesh over the windows and some have iron bars? Just wondering.

what if someone loses their key?

She is thinking...

Where is the Chief... I want out of here... I can't lift this Hydro Console alone... Got to get it through those windows... I want out!!

Ya Ro, remember the suntan man standing under the clock like he was a part of the architecture and he was. All our characters were a part of our hearts. They people who gave us pause to think how we all play a part in this great cosmic chess game of life. You are by no means anything that borders on the term schmucky but as like myself a dedicated romantic.

I am so glad that the mental asylum my sis was in was more modern, however, it did have reputation of being bad. This pix looks so dreary and makes me think of all those souls that were locked up behind those walls.

I truly enjoyed this gallery! Motts, you and Candace truly brought out the ghosts from within that facility! It was awesome! Thank you for sharing this site!

My sister used be in mental hospital and it was so sad to see how many there just stared out into space and when they walked, they did some kind of shuffle and it was as if they were zombies. I think it is the meds that they were on, and makes them semi-catatonic. There was one young girl about twenty=six leaning against the wall, and she could have been Candace's twin from this pix. It is surreal!

I see a lonely frightened woman, yearning to reach out and hold someone close to them. This photo is awesome as all of them are. It is hard say which I like best, because they all wonderful and you and Candace makes the old mental aslum come alive with your photos.

In this pix, it seems as if some melevolent spirit of the past has bashed her head in and threw her in the tub. and that blood is so real looking. This is downright chilling!

This is so realistic! This so awesome Motts! Your site is the only one I really have become obessed with! I am really into Gothic and Candice in this gallery reminds me of a beautiful Gothic spirit angel walking through the halls of enchantment.

This make me think of a spirit that walks the hall of time, walking the mental halls, seeking, watching, waiting, for that someone to ferry her home, and in meantime, she stalks with her bow in hand, waiting to get the upper hand.

Love, love, LOVE this shot!
Makes me imagine a "guest" of the facility from years ago, somehow making his way up to the roof in an attempt to escape. Only to be faced with this.
A panoramic vista of stunning beauty that offers so much freedom & so many possibilities, but is forever out of reach. Because from here, there's only down, not out...
