Pilgrim is not big deal. I've worked here for over 35 years nothing is spooky about it at all. People let their imaginations run away in places like this. There are no 7 ft tall women, no screaming voices and no ghosts roaming around the empty buildings. Believe me. I've been in the empty buildings. Sure they are spooky and your imagination can have fun here.

"Ma Specht" still teaches Nursing and comes to Pilgrim with her student nurses. I'll tell her she's remembered-fondly, I hope?

The Body Farm! Wow! I guess this is where my kid will end up during some of her schooling, let's jsut hope that they don't ever allow her to learn from ~Me.

umm...ok, Paris

Very sorry to hear about that, ???. People like you who mention the people who lived in those walls remind us all how real it all was. We have to keep those memories alive even after these places are gone. Thank you for sharing, take care.

What's the crap on the walls and ceiling?

Dear ??????, I am sorry to hear that you mother went through all of that.

My mother died in this place in Oct. '83. To me, her death will always be a mystery... sudden , unexpected, and tragic. She spent 27 years as a patient ,in and out of here. Electric shock treatments, physical abuse, etc. I was just a little kid when it all began for her in the '50's. I visited her frequently during her times here. The sadness and horror of Pilgrim State are difficult to express . Thank god the nightmare is over but the reality still exits. What remains is the skeleton of a real torture chamber crawling with the souls of the lost and forgotten victims of mental and emotional illness .

The top photo creeped me out for a few seconds. But i think it's sad how lonely it is now and how at one time it used to be full of life.

I think the arches make this hallway look a bit creepy.

So, Dr Sketch, you are telling me you want my body! ;-)
