security depends on which building you are looking to explore.

Went there today for the first time... I was just wondering if the area across the street is related to this...like the Patriot Hills golf course..
Definately a chilling place to walk around... makes u wonder what it was like in its hayday

Gosh I would love one of those tubs.....but I can't imagine how terrifying and intimidating it could be to a young disabled child or adults with Alzheimers.

The stuff on the ceiling is simply paint that blistered from the moisture that is cracking and peeling....gravity don't cha know.

I was thinking this is the response of staff and patients to the Geraldo expose

cos I would really believe anything that Geraldo said - only interested in ratings not the truth

Last night was the 2nd time my team has come here, but this was my 6th or 7th visit. After about a hour of exploring the 3 levels, we heard some ruckus outside and there were 2 cars and a motorcycle parking next to my car...I was kind of freaked out by other visitors, but they stayed out of the way....Mostly kids who were there to look around or whatever.
We picked up a great Class A EVP, on the third floor of the Reville Building. I stayed in the stairwell, in between the second and third floors with M because I was suddenly seriously overcome with a wave of emotion and became hysterical very fast.
After a couple minutes...i heard commotion going on down the hall...and as i peaked around the corner, i saw flashlights go running by the far end of the hall...turn around and come back.....and then E was yelling my name....
He said that him and B both heard me screaming...even thought i wasnt....and then went to run back to me and the door wasnt there...B said she felt a push right before they came running down the hallway towards M and I. And after listening to the EVP session... right before they start asking questions, There is a female voice that clearly says "Are you here? Are.....You.....Leaving? Hello?"
Theres also a high pitched whistle through out the whole session they said they couldnt hear in real time.

There has been other incidences where E and B has seen shadows or shimmery light holding me, cupping my face and even one instance, comforting me. The spirits/entities like to get in my personal space for some reason. haha.

Just be careful exploring this part of Letchworth. Its falling into bad shape over the last 15 years of neglect. Its crazy watching how things change so drastic over time. The first time I came was only 4 or 5 years after it closed...and it was in much better shape with tons of artifacts........I just wish kids, that are only there to drink or spray paint or destroy things, would stay out of these places.

I want that.

Nice.

Hi JpAnn,
What you describe is familiar. The lack of policy is meant to cover for the fact that people just dumped family members they found embarrassing. Doctors willingly and often would sign papers if paid to,
The Follow you home remark should be more obvious to you as an adult but if it isn't the simple fact is people like that lack positive human contact and emotional interaction. Seeing a positive sign they go after it by instinct. This is how so many abused kids continue getting abused, they unknowing pursue kindness which makes them vulnerable to the unscrupulous.

As a child I played with children at Letchworth as most of my family worked there. grandmother cooked there. Mother worked in M cottage. They wore clothes, had sheets. Mom use to hire girls from there to help with ironing, housework. Grandfather had one of the men once a week, paid him plus gave him bags of soda, snacks, etc. to take back. Same guy, cannot remember his name.
Mom use to say you could hardly keep them out of each others bed. You would do your checks and have to get them separated and in their OWN beds.
She said many of the "girls" in her cottage were put there by their rich families= lesbians, boy-crazy, just acting out. Remember the US really did not have a policy for mentally ill until the 50's.
While the infirmary she said was terrible. and the worse, I remember "Bruno" running up and down the road "driving" holding his steering wheel. You could not wave to them if they waved to you because they would follow you home.
Also, while apparently there were atrocious things done to some patients by some of the facility attendants, doctors, nurses, etc., there were also crimes perpetuated on some in the neighboring community by male patients. cannot say what for the respect of my deceased family member, but use your imagination. sort of like a letchworth gang banger. I get homesick looking at these pictures. Used to bowl at letchworth, went to the halloween party, christmas party, and play with the kids (hey, I was a kid! too)
