wow is a way this kinda look a little sinister and neat att at the same time...

last night i was inside the middle freezer in the morgue... it was scarry as shit... then we got caught by the cops but they just gave us a warning

this picture is great u are an artist and i respect u

Looks like a place to go into and never come back.

when i was there there was so much graffiti that it takes away the point of it being scary. you can tell so many people have been there. there is beer cans all over the floor, and packs of cigarettes and even sodas and stuff, and its not scary because you know that people put stuff there. i walked into a bathroom and there was nooses hanging fromt he stalls, but it wasnt scary because they were all in a row, and had a liter of pepsi and a pack of cigarettes underneath it. now that defeats the purpose. but yes the person 'Phantom' is on the walls and stuff in pennhurst a lot. i've never seen the sally and shadow one, but i wil be going bak to look for it.

i was just there at pennhurst, and this is the picture of Devon Hall. pennhurst is not as creepy as people put it out to be, they say its haunted and i have yet to experience anything in that sort. its just dark and sorta scary because of how dark and cold it is. other than that its really not a horrible place. i'm going back again to check out more buildings theres over 30 buildings and i've only been to 3. including this one right here, i've been on every floor of this building, and the underground tunnel leads to a building that is 3 buildings away from this. i would recommend going and checking it out, because it's neat. go at night if you wanna be scared a tad :) i went with a ton of friends and cant wait to go again. check it out. i'll post mroe once i go again which is soon.

This building will look great once it is all cleaned up and the gardners are brought in.

Man, this is one of the best shots I have seen in this building. Nice work!

Motts, if you ever get the chance, send me over an email. I have a few ideas:)

This picture is really pretty, the way the light streams in through the hole in the roof and how the brick wall seems to light up. Very nice.

That crank on the end of the bedframe, although I know it was used for an innocent fuction, gives me the heebie-jeebies. It makes me think of ancient dental tools that resemble torture devices more than they do therapeutic instruments.

Something about this corridor seems so closed-in and claustrophobic. Maybe it's the way in which the paint is peeling, or perhaps the hallway is just really narrow. Also, the doorways seem to be very tall, and it could just be an optical illusion.

Perhaps the wooden planks were placed over the tops of the heaters so that the kids wouldn't stick their fingers in them and accidentally get burned. They may have also functioned as makeshift shelves for holding personal belongings.

Awesome shot. I love this one.

This building, or the way it's depicted in the photo, looks very collegiate. Maybe something from Harvard or another Ivy League institution. It almost looks like it could still be in use.

What a waste of perfectly good books! Granted that they are somewhat dated, but they could've been extricated from the buildings when they were abandoned and donated to some schools that don't have a lot of money. There's no sense in leaving them there to rot in a forgotten heap. How sad.
