Exactly what I was thinking Kevin A.

well if they wasnt crazy wen they went in they sure were wen they got out....that bathroom had me thinkng!

I tried to get in for a photo shoot and the owners wouldn't even return my call. The preservation unit was all for the photo shoot there. But sadly we could not get permission to go in.

I've only seen this type of shirt in old movies. This is realy creepy!

I have been fasinated by this buliding since I saw it on an episode of Ghost Adventures. The horrors that this buliding experienced is devastating, but I think that it would be a interesting place to just be inside of.

wat is with the apperition on the left of the screan maybe it was a patient trying to find its way out

it looks like one of the seven dourves

this looks like a old shower room were they would walk down the stair well and take really long showers

maybe it was a place that the children would be sooooo bad that they were tourtured with the toys that they wished that they had but did not

i think that all childeren should be able to go outside and play so that they don't become more retarted maybe that is the reason that a lot of people there were mentaly retarted

so do i it is really sad sad sad sad sad sad

i wouldnt go bymyself thoughh

i think i might be doing a project on this but i need to interview people, who might you suggest to interview. i mean i dont really know if anyone would know but i am stuck and need help. Also were there just mentally retarded or were there actually people with mental illnises or both. i have been here before, i went to the haunted house but i wish that i could go bymyself because i didnt like the haunted house i thought it was to over done with decorations and was kind of cheesey. i think it would be amAazing to go with no decorations because i love haunted thingsss. thanks (:

As I sit here reading all your entries, I think of my 12year old Autistic daughter, different place, different time she could have been sent there. I can't help but wonder how many kids were sent there like her that had so much to offer but were never given a chance. So sad!

thats a lot of typewriters i think that they would let the 3% of people that they teached there try to learn how to type
