Somtimes kids do stupid things.

ok
, fun is that why they are so destructive

It looks like kids were having fun in the old hospital on the hill.

There were many forms of hydrotherapy.The different methods were used to stimulate or sedate a patient,relieve pain and insomnia,stimulate perspiration to eliminate toxins.Varied water temperature produced different effects on the patient.

Whats up with Randall?

They are leaving the graves, they cant touch them, well, i think they can clean it up, but thats it.

because there is a ghost under it.

wicked creepy, ive been up ther before

Heh I always get confused...

This was shot from the admin tower, looking towards Beverly Airport.

If their Corona is half filled with cigarette butts then they've already finished it Randall, but nice try.

Perhaps you should direct your disapproval towards their wicked smoking habit instead of them visiting an abandoned building.

Whoa, Randall - chill. It would be a little warmer than out on the street or down by the river where a lot of them currently are (those who have survived living on the streets, that is). I assume you are down there handing out blankets and sandwiches, right? If not, don't come here and give us your own personal guilt trip. This is an urban exploration site - not a personal flogging spot.

Perhaps,before you unroll your sleeping bag and finish off your corona,you may want to take some thorazine or meloril and feel a little like the person who lived in that room felt.

I wonder what most of you would write if you were a patient at Danvers in the 1950's - 1960's.How would you like to be totally disabled with mental illness and confined to a hospital with thousands of very sick people.Some people spent their whole life there.

Was that shot looking towards Boston? Looks like it was. If that's the case did you shoot from J,I, or H building? If not then you got it backwards.

I once suggested at a staff meeting we sponsor bungee jumping from the water tower. It got me out of further staff meetings.
