Don't mean this personally as a slam against the owners of this or any other facility that might just leave lights on regardless of the hazards that might pose... but honestly one has to think that the idea of "oh, well, if it burns down it'll solve issues of what to do with the place or save demo costs" just gotta be in the back of at least one administrator's head, no...? Terrible thought, but look at how these places are treated, left to rot...

So, Brittany, your mother worked there while all of these atrocities were happening (including keeping people in cages in her building), and she didn't feel it was necessary to do something? tell somebody?

I worked as an aide in this building, the Boy's ward on the right--- from 1978 to 81. Loved taking care of those poor souls. I still remember most of their names and wonder what became of them after I left......

i heard the lab building was burned down

They did this at the Met State Hospital in Waltham, MA thats on this website. My grandparents live around the corner form there and they were woken up at 7am to the sound of gunfire and flashbangs going off. The Mass State Police were practicing breaching in the old buildings before they all got torn down

Hi! Just thought I'd chime in :)

I think Motts was on the right track about the power system being connected throughout the buildings. My father is an engineer and frequently works for psychiatric centers throughout New York State (his biggest job thus far was at Pilgrim, I believe--he designed their power plant). Several years ago, although he doesn't exactly remember when, my dad did some work for Letchworth Village, or at least the buildings that were still operational at the time. He mentioned having to go through the abandoned buildings to look at the plumbing and electrical systems, because apparently they're still connected to the rest of the campus. I would imagine that's why the light was on here.

This was several years ago, though, and even my dad doesn't remember the specifics of the job, so please don't hold me to that. I hope I was able to help at all :)

Anyone notice the face in the floor, check out the window reflections. Second window from right, left side of the reflection. My fiancé was viewing these pictures with me after watching Ghost Adventures and saw the face.

Didn't they use to pull out the teeth of little kids who would bite people with that chair? it's sad how cruel people can be when they simply don't understand something... that is what I call ignorance...
