Ward A was the violent ward for the female patients, not the male patients. Just thought I'd let you know.

I have been possessed by God knows what ever since I found my first site about Abandoned Sanitoriums/Sanitariums 2 days ago. I have spent literally 36-38 of the last 48 hours stuck in front of my PC looking at every single link I have found re: such. I have to say that this pic is at the top of my list for THE BEST pictures that I have seen. The reds are gorgeous, and this place looks so serene, so peacefull, but what evil and terrible mysteries and how many tortured souls or tormented ghosts do you think actually dwell within these walls, masked inside them, by an eerie sort of peace that seems to be portrayed. Whats lurking there, waiting just behind those blood red bricks, behind the unnatural calmness that is only seen from tthe outside? I am hopelessy addicted to this stuff now!!!!!!!!! Can anyone tell me where the next sign up is for another expedition? I'll go with anyone whos willing to allow me the chance to tag along!!!!! E-mail me at torisgirl11@msn.com

I grew up a few towns north of Danvers. Just the name "Danvers" conjured terrifying images. My high school teachers used to take tour groups there, but stopped after some patients objected to being viewed like "zoo animals." Thus, I didn't get to go. The way my civics teacher described the dazed patients, the squalor, and the stench probably would have discouraged my attendance anyway.
I used to get the shudders just driving by this place. It seemed to have an evil presence. One thing to bear in mind, "Hospital Hill" is the same hill where the Puritans hanged the accused Salem witches. In colonial times, Danvers was known as "Salem Village."
I thought "Session 9" was a turkey. The voice-over acting on those "tapes" was really cheesy, the acting in general was bad, the plot was a let-down and anti-climactic. I would have made a much darker, much spookier movie!
