That is a sick pic

I went there yesterday and not too much supernatural stuff happened but these two things did occur. It sounded as if someoneonr was talking to themself but the words were muffled and unclear and none of my friends knew where it was coming from and we were all freaked out. And at one point there was a loud screeching sound but that was it. I heard a story from my friend though that he walked into a room, a homeless man pulled put a gun, pointed it at him and said "get the fuck out now". So yeah there are homeless bitches in that shit. Mad creepy but i suggest going there its very interesting

It looks like a three tier cake with icing on top of each layer, what a neat view this is.

Wow, what an awesome shot this is & the bright green glow is really neat. Motts, this really needs to be a wallpaper, please?

it looks more like a monkey than a cat

Since this hasn't really been updated in a while.. Ill give everyone an update. As of August 13th 2012 they started knocking down building 23 ( the recreation building) which is right behind buildings 7, 21 and 22. They are also knocking down building 23 which was the oldest building on the lot and that house patients when it was open. A few other buildings are going to be knocked down as well, but they arent any buildings worth keeping ( warehouse, old stock house etc). 93 is not going to be knocked down, atleast not at the moment. Apparently the newest hangout over there is building 7 or as the kids call "the cube" and cops now frequent that spot, its also the easiest building to get into from what ive been told. I will be going back soon so hopefully i can have more to update everyone on. :)

Susan Taylor,
You are incredibly empathetic. In my experience the worst thing about mental illness is all the losses you endure. She never lost you though, and she was lucky. Your sister is also a testimony to the fact that people with severe mental illness can live outside of an institutional setting, have a job, and be happy. She must have felt grateful to have you.

I first visited my oldest sister at Kings Park in 1953. I was shocked at the overwhelming people put there, all the families suffering. I knew what her losses were: freedom, a husband, a brand new infant son, a son aged two, a comfortable home- she had made comfortable, her piano playing and singing and amazing sense of humor, her friendships, her athletisism, her way of having fun, her ability to do a good job. I thought that the sum total of all the losses represented there would fill the whole of Long Island. I was 12 years old. My sister was 26 i'll never forget her screams from the bars of a third floor barred window, her two year old crying back. She was a very mentally ill person before she got her medications and was at Kings Park for 32 years. She would go out and work for a while. Stop taking her meds and end up back at Kings Park. There were good times there and friends over the years. There were hard hurtful times there that she had to endure. In 1985 I had her transferred to a hospital near me and she lived seven happy years ending up with her own apartment job and a sister for a neighbor. I am very grateful for the many staff people and workers at Kings Park who did make my sister's life and losses easier. I hope the people viewing the abandoned hospital understand it is a precious, spiritual place. because no one

In addition to the most fabulous photography by Mr. Motts, I am also greatly entertained by the hilarious back-and-forth conversations. Some of their comments are more disturbing than the photos. Love the come backs to ignorance.

My grandmother worked there a long time ago her name was charlotte sampson if any body knows who she is or pictures. I'm very interested in a lot. Of the historey of kings park

Sadly, I see these things almost everyday at my job. It's standard dish equipment, but a little on the rusted side...honestly, I bet that thing still works...

This is a nice shot, Motts. The reflection of the vines in the window, makes it look like it is shattered, like the patients minds that once were brought here for treatment & help.

i got ass in those hallways! adrinalin rush is perfect for climax

walked around this building at night...really dark.. couldnt find a way in. This place is creepy

I got instant chills when I read the "Leave Now"
