It's a very scary auditorium at night, and when your light shines on the quote " Poets but not so much poetry it scares the hell out of you

Great pic caught perfict, really scary, horrific, frightening to me any way, can just imagine being there Gushing noises as well.

The Kirkbride is still standing, as well as the large complex across the road, but they have started construction on the buildings surrounding the Kirk.

could anyone tell me what is left of north hampton if anything. i had the pleasure of visiting there in 1986 when i was working for the mass dept of correction, ive been around and photographed all of massachusetts kirkbrides accept for n hampton, its the farthest from me. if anyone has any info id be grateful before three hours of driving.

God, have they made radiators of this design in the past 100 years? This really looks like one of the originals from the 1800s.

me and my friends go in it al the time but we havent seen the mourge or the cafateria because that building is all boarded and cemented up and we havent found a way in there yet but in the regular building me and my friedns found glad bags and theres some christmas decorations still up haha!

Places like this should be restored and re-used for another purpose. Almost painful to look at.

If you visit me, will you forever stay?

Cochlear curves for twisted minds.

A fascinating organic growth of rupturing paint like man-made lichen.

Decay, disruption capture the remnants of splintered lives that ended here.
