I feel that they mean the lambs are the children and they are going up to heaven. They are the little lambs of God. The two at the bottom I think that who ever colored this is saying the two are mean and they stay there in the pit of hell or penn hurst. If you notice they are traveling up the side of the rainbow. That is just how I feel.

MY SLEEP # IS 4......

The "ghost" face in the bottom right is cracked glass. The red tee shirt is another person. Always look for the rational explanation first. I'm with "PARENT"... these shots should not get you all excited; they should fill you with grief for what was done to the innocent people who lived here. I work with people with mental retardation, and these places make my skin crawl...no ghosts necessary

I dont thinjk this was originally "meant" as a shower at all.. In my old school, built in the 50's the custodians 'closets' had similar enclosures that they filled buckets in and washed things out... Maybe it was converted for other use after.... ??

all i can say is wow my mother was in a mental hospital for year's and now she is soooo freaked about even going to the doctor's for any thing she had been shocked in there aswell as meny other thing i don't wish to air out here but it is bad and it was in ont canada

this is an amazing picture

Scary

I just saw the A&E special...extreme paranormal...it was scarey..my son an his friends went down there this past summer an they got some very very freaky pics...if you would like to see them email me at xsunxshynex73@yahoo.com...i will send them too you....

If your baby was born with a problem...or your child has a problem as parents you have to deal with it , your should love your baby and child, remember they were not asked to be here..I think this is so sad and you know what else is sad that the parents can take there babies and childen there and walk away they have no heart.I would not beable to live with myself if I did that...they sure don't have a HEART !!!!!

it looks like a child holding on to the railing with his right foot up a little

does anyone see what looks like a small figure sitting in the right hand corner of the room by that board propped up against the wall? It looks like a child sitting down with knees up against chest.

The pictures are chilling and extremely sad.

my mistake, it was the old bridgewater state hospital (which is still in use today) not Braintree

If u all find this interesting you should watch the movie Titicut Follies, it was filmed in 1967 at Braintree state hospital in Ma. Ma. banned it from ever being shown because it showed the abuse and treatment of patients, the state was ashamed, they wanted all copies destroyed, as allways a few made it out. Very hard to find a copy but if you look hard enough you'll find one. You will find alot of simularities. But even in the 18oo,s people hid theire children with disabilities up on the 3rd flr. of their homes, complete with sound proof and escape proof, and destroyed the birth certificuts. Like everything else thank god we have learned by trial and error and have corrected our wrongs!

For a bunch of toilts thats creepy.
