Like a near-death experience.

I only hope those who lived here ever got to appreciate the view or did it just make them wistful?

These murals look deranged. What is up with the artwork found in psychiatric hospitals. It makes me mental to look at it!

The perfect picture to capture the darkened history of psychiatric care. These pictures tell more than a thousand words. They are brilliant! Thanks.

You can almost visualize a lone patient sitting in this now vacant chair.

It is frightening how "self-contained" these hospitals were. Didn't need anything from the "outside" and I wonder if the "outside" ever had any idea what was really going on in here...

Let there be light.......

This pretty much speaks to both past and present.

The sheer magnitude of "waste" you have captured in these photos is amazing. I'm still trying to understand how they just got left behind... To think this room used to actually attempt to nourish patients is now hard to imagine. Thanks again for the incredible photos.

It is as if time just stands still. They were here one day and gone the next. Only a name tag is testimony that they even lived. What a strange time in our history.

BOLO FOR EVIL DOERS. FORWARD ALL SIGHTINGS TO YOUR DISTRICT CONTACT. WE WILL BE CONDUCTING AN EMERGENCY SWEEP ON 2/14/2008 IN SECTOR 22 ZONE 4 SUB STATION 223. THIS IS A MANDATORY MEETING.

i see one of those poor artists have stolen two of my best ideas, "ode to mustard" and "a prelude to relish."

zee mirrors are not broken because zey aren't really mirrors. zey are portals into zee afterlife and zeir trinity is zee secret to zeir endurance. zeese mirrors zeem to be full of trapped zoulz, zee soap dizpenzers are re-inztalled bi-monthly to baffle explorers and amateur photographers.

Motts, I've been looking at many of these galleries, and they are absolutely beautiful. I am amazed at how many dilapidated buildings stay standing for that many years.

I hope to visit and photograph a few before my years are over. And if at all possible, get to a point in my career in which I can make a music video in one of these marvels.

I thank you for posting these spectacular photos.

This gives the eerie feeling that something terrible has escaped! After seeing this, I would've been extremely paranoid.
