Do you go to these places alone? My god that is one hell of a picture. It's like Munsters meet Qeen of the damned.

I agree, but it's my brother's problem. He didn't keep it. I think it creeped him out, and rightfully so. But none of my brothers are ever normally creeped out by anything. (except the little one) I'm not sure what he did with it but this happened over four months ago.

I have always liked black and white pictures. I think it was an excellent choice for a building with this kind of rep.

EXCELLENT PIC MOTTS, LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PLACE TO NAP, THEN CONTINUE ON YOUR JOURNEY.

Where I work they have some real skeletons that apparently used to be used in anatomy classes when medical students did internships out here. I don't know for sure that this is what you saw at Danvers, but it's a possibility. My take is that you should either call the police anonymously if you think something bad happened (they can check out a lot of things these days with forensics, even if a crime was committed many years ago), and if it turns out it was a hand from a teaching skeleton, it would certainly be respectful to ask to have it buried.

My two cents.

Money grubbing bastards this place should be restored as a historic reminder of the treatment of the mentaly ill in this country.and guided tours should be given.

just like visiting the titanic..

I work for the firm that is contracted to perform the demolition of the site. The photo above is of glove bags. Its a bag with 2 sleeves and gloves attached used as a method of asbestos abatement.

The tub was designed to be placed against a wall. The tile was put there to cover the exposed "wall side" of the tub. I guess it was easier to get patients in and out with access to both sides.

Cute

Where is the light coming from and did you know that thing was down there when you took the photo?

If you've ever slept on that thing no wonder you need a nice warm jacket and pretty white padded walls.

Oh ughh disgusting...I guess I don't wanna know how that got there...or maybe I do (curiosity killed the cat, ya know!)

Is that a mirror at the end of the corridor? And HOW many times have you been to that place

I wasn't there. My brother brought back part of a dirty wrist bone and what looked like the ring finger and the pinky in a plastic bag.
