There's no there there!

did you feel any ghostly or weird things when there?

i went last weekend with a friend, but we got caught about to go over the fence, so we were worried about jumping the fence cuz so many security/police people were driving around at the time. we're planning on going back in the future though

this looks like a building version of a halloween pumpkin, very spooky

I was wondering if anyone had any information on this place. im actually about to go there this weekend for the first time.

"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? Bring a Black & Decker, some 6" stainless steel screws, some rawl plugs and some struts or this thing's gonna...**CRASH**...aww, crap."

i am learning about edword jenner and how he created a cure for smallpox

DOOOOOOOM metal!!!!

this looks like someting from supernatural

I remember going to Welfare Island about 1960 because my maternal grandfather was a terminal patient at Bird S Coler hospital also on the island. My father took us to the end where the old hospital was and he seemed to be very interested in the old bldg but didn't share why
It was 30 yrs later as I did a family tree that I discovered that my paternal grandfather died at Metropolitan Hospital in 1935
In 1961 there was still debris from the old hospital around like wooden wheel chairs and old equipment , probably because it really looked like a haunted house in those days

Hanted Mansion w/o light maybe?
