Uh mark this is an abandoned places exploration site not a horror site.Some of the pics on here are eerie true but that isn't what this site is about.

Jude... I agree... ;-)_

If it wasn't for session 9, I wouldn't have found Mott's site, the description on the back of the vid said "Abandoned" and "Mental Hospital" Thats all I needed to read to rent it, I watched it once, and then ordered it on DVD, and here I am!!! I guess I need to thank Brad Anderson!! ;-) (And Mr. Motts for bringing me the "real" Danvers!!!) ;-)

I really like the linear style of this one. It seems surreal, like a gingerbread house or something. Also, the addition of the black and white make even the plants look fake, like frosting.

It's a water tower, dummy. Who said it was supposed to be scary?

THE AMOSKEAG MILLS IN MANCHESTER, N.H. ARE THE BEST EXAMPLE IN AMERICA OF HOW THESE MARVELOUS HISTORIC BUILDINGS CAN LIVE ON.

"Another popular "spa treatment" to calm agitation was hydrotherapy, which was more than a nice warm bath. For instance, one practice was to wrap an agitated patient in cold (50 degree), wet sheets. A very disturbed patient could be placed in a continuous bath 18 hours a day for 2-3 weeks"”or whatever it took to change the aberrant behavior. The dangers of hydrotherapy were hypothermia, convulsions, and even drowning. "

not even scary

Fantastic shot! It looks like the devil himself punched in the top of the knewel post.

What I said may have been taken a bit out of context. I don't want to see these buildings torn down and replaced with something else. I'ld like to see them restored and used as something else. Sitting as they are now, they will eventually fall apart and come crumbling down.

Veery good! I've been waiting for a new gallery! I must say you could do this for a living!! Keep up.

is that like "Return of the King'?

Hey, Ed, I have a five year old...I could USE one in MY car!!!

<It almost looks like the "dark" is dripping down from above.....YIKES!>

The demons have escaped!! So it must be safe to go in!

"In a curiously out of the way place..." That makes it that much creepier... So large, and UUUUGLYYY...Makes you wonder just what went on in that room....Is that just a board, or an examining table?
