I went there last week. The rustwater is still there. no cup... but a decaying battery. There were some stairs that lead to a lower level right near the morgue. but when we went, it was raining really hard and there had been a 10 day rain shower that flooded it up to our knees... Kind of funny. my friend Aaron and Julia and I didn't want to go into the water. Aaron and I look at eachother and I said "Fuck that" And the girl Julia we were with actually went into the water with no shoes on. We got it all on film, but the lighting was bad, all we saw was a really long hallway with a freaky cage on one side and another hallway on the other. It looked freakier since it was under 3 feet of water. I really want to go back with Trashbags.

its an inviting nightmare... the way the doors are almost but not quite all the way open suggests that they are in the process of opening, like its a ghost story, and the ghosts want you to come this way. brilliant.

This shot is made even more horrific by the fact that the door is partially open: one would expect a "violent ward" door to be closed fast. This view leads the viewer to wonder: has someone got out, or am I being invited in? An unpleasant thought, either way.

Looks like the violence finally worked its way back out....

All right! Another veteran! Please tell us some of the history when you have time. A lot of people seem to think all we ever did in residential facilities was ECT and lobotomies. Well, that's after we drugged and restrained them, apparently. :-)
