Strange that there are no lamps. And no sign of any fixtures in the ceiling. Hmmmmm. Like the light at the end. it is lovely.
Abandoned curtains look so melancholic! Why these two??? In pretty good shape, too. Amazing! They are on the floor. Awesome find.
Thank you.
Big low windows and light from three directions! This was a lovely room back in the days.
Thank you!
Good picture, i like. Food for imagination.
Cheerless & dreary & dejected, and it even looks Cold! This was not fun! The hanging lamp is different.
Picture is good; i like: :)

These bottles and tubes were obviously used in medical situations, however the same equipment was used for gravity flow of the fluid used in the embalming process. In the days before the electrical embalming pumps, hanging gravity-flow bottles were used. Kinda creepy, but the glass cleans up well, put in some new tubing, and you have a wonderful Vodka dispenser!

Absolutely lovely photo. So glad you captured it before it was gone.

oh and to the people who do not know, it is haunted. Greatly. A lot of screwed up experiments happened in that place. I can feel them, they're still there, and angry. I really could care less who believes me or not, I'm also a psychologist and know what I do. The buildings couldn't be restored because of the structural damage. Also it was costing Northampton about 1.2 million dollars a year to heat the place so it wouldn't crumble naturally. But honestly they could probably make that back in tours for people. haha. Oh how i miss the buildings....there are so few that still stand. Along with the tunnels. I don't think those will ever be destroyed.

I have lived in Northampton my entire life, and drove by this place all the time. I just went into the last standing building today, well, one of the four smaller buildings left. It was incredible. I'm not a big believer in "orbs" because of how many have been debunked, but my pictures today....could definitely change that. It was incredible. They were all different colors, and are not in every photo. I am a sensitive, I can read people, and feel the dead. It was amazing being able to connect to them in a similar way. We're both angry that this beautiful building with such rich history and mystery are being torn down so ignorantly. But sadly there is nothing I can do. I hope the dead can move on, the place has an unmarked burial ground that I stood on many times. they stopped burying the dead without families in the 1920's and after that used their bodies as medical school cadavers. wrong, if you ask me. Some buildings are still left, I urge you greatly to take a trip to see them. They probably won't be there much longer.
How 1940's looking! I want one!
I could use one of those to make iced tea in

This was I think in the movies filmed there. And to the right of it was a huge cloth tarp hanging that the movie set left. It's the room we climbed out of to leave.

We came out a second or third story door climbing down by rope when we left because we were spotted by security and chased but not caught.

I think that's right where I went in, in that corner there is a door overhang and we went in the windows.

With the bottom floor boarded it was hard to see but extremely fun when we were on the second floor and other floors looking down. We climbed in on the second floor above a door overhang through a window. Most floors were rotted and gone so you had to stay by the wall in case the floor gave way. And when you are below looking up at the floor you were just standing on it was neat to see how weak the ceiling was because it was the floor you were just on. The deterioration and rot was extreme.
