The best time to come down here is during the early summer right before the sun sets. If you face the front facade of 93 the orange glow of the setting sun lights up the windows from behind. It looks as if the wards have come to life again, windows ablaze, perhaps as it once looked before the closure of this facility. This is a beautiful, albeit saddening place.
your photos are umbelievable. I forgot how much i loved this site you photos are what inspired me to come back here years ago...I think i might go back for a trip soon
My grandfather worked for AT&T and he was sent to fix phones at this hospital. There was a patient there who thought he was the Easter Bunny and followed him throughout the building while he went to work on the phones.
No its not that scary I found but its fun scaring the crap out of people by throwing things out in the halls, every floor is like identical, somebody said they heard footsteps , shouting and a walkie talkie, everyone was scared and we wanted to get out, cept me, I didnt get to the very very top of the tower part, but one ladder down, You can see so much for that location its actually quite amazing
Ugh these old galleries are quite sloppy, my apologies. This is looking at 42, the central kitchen - however I am unsure of which group the photo was taken from. I assume it was from 43.
That room was used to strap down kids who acted out according to them,( the orderly) ,the abuse, rape and daily beatings were insane,
Some of the pictures on the walls where painted by a guy who claimed to create Skippy peanut butter or some crap. But, he could paint!
NOBODY would EVER tell the truth about what really happened there!
They would be jailed for life!
God help any orderlies if they are still alive, If I saw one I would run him over. AND the nurses where no better.
