my mom is an ex employee of pigrim state she worked there for almost 15 years.She used to pick up the dead bodies from all over the grounds then bring them to this room.Then they would go in the refrigerator, which is right behind that metal bed in the pic.From there the mortician would put them on that table, drain there blood out of there bodies, pull out all experimental parts including brains and organs (which from there my mother took the brains to the world trade center, she did a lot of the driving for patients and other things she was friends with the mortician whose name was fred), they took a lot of the bodies over to the cemetary that was also on the grounds called the cemetary of the good samaritan.She told me it was really inhumane how they would bury these bodies sometimes, being alot of the time patients had no one who cared for them no family or anything, anyway they would bury them in heavy corrugated cardboard boxes and move them by forklift through the center to the cemetary.And sometimes the boxes got damp from the moisture in the top shelf of the store house (she doesnt remember the number of the building but it was located by work control which she thinks was building 36) and sometimes the bodies would fall through the box and between the forks of the forklift.She said this was rare but it happened sometimes.Anyone who reads this who is also an ex employee who knows what she is talking about is gonna know she was either a groundskeeper or garage help.But she said it was a screwed up place it was a disgusting place and a horrible place to work or have to call home.I live 20 mins away from all these buildings so she takes me on tours sometimes, shes got a lot of experience and she was like the only she there so any other ex employee...your probaly right about who your thinking this woman is.she worked ther 1976 to 1989.good day guys.

Lynne's right, mentally disabled, disturbed or retarded people are the same as everyone else, just a little different, and they still need respect and love.

Looks amazing, and an awesome quote.

Wow, its so creepy. I want to go there, god I would love to take a trip round there. Shame its not there anymore tho. i love scary things, id love to stay there overnight and see if anything creepy happens...

It looks so horrible, yet so (whats the word) um refreshing. id love to take a bath in it although it does give me the creeps. Anyone got any interesting stories to tell about it... would love to hear one.

went here today for photo class. broad daylight no one said anything to us. truly amazing. the only difference is now it so easy to get inside ..........the doors are litteraly riped off there hinges just welcoming you in!

I work here as a recreation therapist for the past 3 months,, so far nothing too haunted looking or sounding in the active wards that are being used. Cool place to work b/c of it's amazing hsitoric value.

I work at Pilgrom now, it's a really cool experience to be working in a place where there's such an amazing history. It's an eerie but cool feeling to be where so much has happened in the past. Kinda spooky to think of the loss of life and agony that took place here. I'm proud to work at PPC, it's a place of history
