Would have made lovely apartments but I guess they would rather use dry-wall. As far as the "haunting thing", I don't care WHERE you live, there is history everywhere. How do you know what's happened where you're living now?

Janice, you can BUY the slate tiles off of ebay for $9.99 a piece but, so sorry, that doesn't include shipping or handling.

Maybe they were telling you that you shouldn't be poking around in there.

Wow, they must have missed this; nice mahogany wood to sell on ebay.

I can not believe the nerve people have to try and make a buck off of selling BRICKS, SLATES, BUTTONS, and whatever off of this hospital on ebay. Out of curiousity, I went on that site and my mouth literally fell open. People in this world are so money-hungry, they make me sick!

I have been in it, around it, on top of it, and find it the most beautiful of buildings.The use of it was not what was intended. Dr. Kirkbride tried to help the mentally ill with fresh air, farming, and relaxation. We got in the way with greed and stigma. That was their home. They are in the cardboard boxes now, parks, gutters, etc. And their illness is no different than someone with cancer or heart disease. It's biologically-based and affects the brain. We need to help them, not fear them.

C ward has been torn down, all that is left is the water tower. The only thing that they will keep is the main administration section and one ward on each side.

Again, this looks like some old town, sort of on the lines of what Celine says. Not that anyone would want to live in a haunted ex sanitarium, but could you imagine the housing problems they could solve? LOL!!! There's a lot of room in those old buildings! I wouldn't want to because of the haunted thing, but, ...well, I was just saying. LOL!!! :D
