Hah you know what now that i think about it.... Goddog, me, and a few other people sat on this porch which is why the chairs are set up out there....

each time i click on an image from your site i say this is the best one. and i am at it again. total visceral reaction. a shudder moving through my body. as if your eye was stalking/waiting for the colors to line up to their perfection around this monolith. awesome.

This is an image of a childhood no one should have.

That room has a very foreboding and wicked feel to it.

Like everything else in this hospital this picture alone is a little disturbing.

What should have been years filled with climbing trees,laughter,waiting for Santa Claus,amuesment parks and all the joy and sunlight in the world were spent in this horrid place.

A playroom of insanity and pain.The innocence and corruption like some one else said with that hideous,multi eyed,thing staring down on them.Poor kids!

I don't know what to say about this.It makes you feel something.The saddness of them trying to give bright and cheerful images to children trapped in this nightmare world.If this place isn't haunted I would be very,very shocked.All the suffering and negative energy in those walls.

It's disturbing but it definitely has some emotion behind it.That picture does more to a persons mind than a thousand horror movies could.

I can almost imagine myself as one of these patients,staring out at the world that has forgotten me and knowing nothing of the outside.

Obvious Alien influence, Did you see any capacitors upstairs ???

It looks like most of these places had really beautiful entrance halls. It's almost like they wanted to decieve the parents and family members who dropped off thier children, etc. They wanted the family to think that they were dropping them off at a beautiful and respectable place.

I agree with Ilaynay.

I know that when I am stressed or depressed or practicly haveing a nervous breakdown, sitting next to a window and just looking up at the sky calms me down a bit.

LoL I keep expecting not to see anyone in these shots, so the odd time that you are in your own pictures I am not expecting it and I practicly jump out of my seat at first glance.

*takes deep breaths and moves on*

My in-laws have a very old house that this picture reminds me a little of. That house has so much history! When my in-laws and my husband moved into that house they found old slides that were labeled and dated from the early 1900s. They also found old newspapers that were used as wallpaper when they went to replace the walls. Even more recently than that a cult lived in this house. The place has alot of interesting history, some of which we don't know about yet, I'm sure.
