this would be a good place to trip on acid..you'd prolly die.
but for real, this place looks fucking creepy as fuck. not even gonna lie. i imagine waking up here in the middle of the night, all alone, like in the tunnels or the morgue or something. and i'd be SOOO fuckin scared i'd prolly just have a heart attack. for real. scariest shit ive seen.

Its a pump pit! Either sewage/medical waste or sump (ground water). Standard in commercial buildings

Sean or AL- if you get written permission, I would love to go! I've done legal urban exploration before. E-mail me! writesocrates@yahoo.com

We went here one night a few years ago i layed on one of these. creepy

This place is definately haunted and has a presence...The first time we went, we were outside of the building thats in front of the police station and we heard loud banging coming from inside of the building.. the thing is, the building is boarded up, so no one can physically get inside... The last time we went, We were at the main building and we heard something moving around inside, so we left out.. we were in the open field and heard crackling right next to us so we started to ru out and the crackling followed us.. It clearly sounded like footsteps..Since then, my friend's perfectly healthy son has had a few attacks where he'd black out and we all have been experiencing reoccuring nightmares.. Also in the woods behind one of the main buildings we heard screaming.. not sure where it came from... If you guys want a really good scare, you should walk along those steps where the exorcist situation happened (in Georgetown DC).. We walked up the steps and heard something following us up the stairs when we approached the house where the posession took place, the door was wide open... This was at 4 am and no one came in or out of the house.. we stuck around for about an hour and the door remained open...There's a presence there as well.... If you guys want to know about more haunted places, comment on the post and i'll be glad to share info!!

is it true that police guard the hospital? if so why? i mean whats the reason for it

yes i was wondering what kind of danger is in this place? i have been ghost hunting for a while now and it has always caught my eye. from what i hear there are cops and dogs on the property is this true? i understand your point about not tearing it down its beautiful and the history of this place is amazing
please get back to me with any more info.

thank you for your time and take care.

I would like to know who will do the asbestos abatement?

cool pic

I have never been in the buildings but driven around the perimeter and talked to the police trying to find out about the place. One of my friends had a brother who spent his life there because that's where people were sent when there was a big TB epidemic. From talking to the curator at the Duvall Mansion, I was told that there were tunnels that connected all of the buildings so that staff, patients and supplies wouldn't be exposed to bad weather. The curator said that there was a mob-style murder in the tunnels in the 60's and the tunnels were shut down, so in the 70's the DC government turned it over to MD because they hadn't taken care of it. People went through stripping copper pipes out and stealing whatever equipment they could salvage. It became a spot for criminals as well. Police are there to keep people out so that if someone gets hurt, they can't sue MD. The place is a death trap because it hasn't been taken care of. It was a mental hospital BEFORE the TB hit and also a regular hospital.

Sean - Please count me in if you get permission. My aunt died there in 1944 at the young age of 18. I'd love a chance to photograph anything I could without getting busted. I'm in Bowie. Please email me @ ca2112sd@gmail.com Thank you! AL
