I love reading the comments.eerybody is so interesting.

Sir, I've spent years in some of the very rooms that you have captured. A lot of humanity has transpired within those brick walls and your photographs have an aura-like quality. If you used film, I'd like to correspond.

This area is clean because it used to be the porch. Looks like C-2. There was no paint or tile to get funky. slamviche@yahoo.com

I was Staff. The stories from the old-timers and lifers (both patients and staff) would be a liability lawyer's wet-dream. We are talking medical and pharma experimentation without consent for starters. On the other hand, I saw ECT (shock treatment) conducted first-hand and it helped the person's quality of life. They did a load of lobotomies in the "Medical" building. slamviche@yahoo.com

I think it looks like a straight jacket too.

I am so intrigued by these abandoned buildings, and the photos that all different visitors are able to capture. I am so curious about the metro and the other hospitals in that area...even the few that were abandoned but are still standing on the Mcclean campus.
I am currently at school right near the state hospital in Northampton, MA ...I think I will be venturing over there to poke around soon. Great photos Motts - I will keep checking back to see what new items you post.

me and my friends just snukc in there 2night or this morning what ever u wanna say...and we got through a building that said A somthing on the siide and went through the basement and found te tunnels but kinda didnt have the balls 2night to go through them with just the 3 of us....and then we got out and hid behind a tree with a bunch of bushes staring at a security booth wich i now kno there is security bescuase they drove staight passed us with there lights on while we were smoking our cigerettes and hiding in the bushes...but we found what it apears to be a floor map in the basement but not sure to building it goes to.....were goin back either 2morro night or next weekend...sooo ull hear from me then...ooo ya and we were looking at this bulding wich i cnt wait to get into....but all we really wanna find is the medical building and all of the files wich are somewere in this creepy fucking hospital....

believe it or not, the light near the red door seems welcoming to me. I like, wanna run to the light and get the hell out of the rotting area and out of the unknown, you know?

ok, I'm usually not easily intimidated, even some of the creepiest pics here only give me a little chill, but this? haha THIS?? I don't think I've ever seen anything so damn scary in my life... I wouldn't go down there for anything!!

It's so sad that such a beautiful place could be going to ruin.
