Aaaah! That explains it! :-)

Eeeek!!!!!!!

You feel the difference because its the temperature of the people who died in the tub vs the real temperature. patients were sometime drowned during "therapy". so it is their souls that make the tub so cold.

I know the entire story behind Pilgrim. Pretty much if they haven't written it on paper to the press i know what happened. i do hope everyone looking at these pictures knows that Pilgrim has to this day the highest death rate of patients. The director of Pilgrim was killing random patients. They would preform "treatments" on the patients til they died. It was extremely grusome. The Halocoust has nothing on what happened at Pilgrim. Death was occuring so fast that the same people sat in the morgue because it was to much work to keep changing out the bodies everyday. There is a cemotary at Pilgrim and then there is "the site" where all the bodies were put. I really hope no one thinks i am making this up, because my greatgrandfather (who is still alive) was the head contractor/election of Pilgrim,(he watched out for the plant and the building) the director ordered him to not built certain places because that was seperate ground. The director also told my greatgrandfather what he was doing to patients, but never why.

I found this site trying to locate my transcripts from 1974. That was my class in the photo of the student library. These photos brought back amazing memories. It was scary then, definitely worse now.

VERY SWEEEEEEEEEET PIC!!!!!!!!

You can drive by this building with out any problem . The road by it goes to the Heartland industrial park . It goes by the shops and leads right into the powerhouse I drive by it everyday on the way to work . at dss

My dad worked in the store house that is right near the powerhouse . I have videos of the parking lot between warehouse and shops that is now all overgrown. My brother still works there on one of the wards. Great shots any of the old Edgewood building .

In Sweden we have autopsy rooms like the one in the picture, though most use refrigerator rooms and not boxes, and a few are still in use...
(I am a post-mortem technician!)There ARE places I don't want to work overtime at night.

it sucks cus they borded up EVERYTHING.now when I go there I cant even get in....but i know someone that works at the still running part of the many buildings that are still there
