ive been there. intense..

This kind of places give me the chills only because I'm claustrophobic =

Beware of holes, hahah.

LOL disregard that, I was thinkin' bout Henryton. Henryton's bad ass... Especially with that Civil War era tunnel 'round back :)

I went there with about 5 or 6 friends of mine back in '05. We went up the train tracks around the back. We walked for about a mile or 2 and it was cold as fuck going through the tunnel. We arrived behind the back of the adult hospital and walked inside. I remembered seeing signs that read, NO TRESPASSING and ASBESTOS WARNING. The hallways had holes in the floor and walls everywhere, and I remember being on edge, hoping to God that cops wouldn't see us. I saw this dead vulture that was hanging from a wall with blood smeared around it. That shit scared the fuck outta me. It was like somebody had performed some kinda ritual or somethin. I don't think that we were the only ones there that night, either. I also heard other people screaming and acting stupid around there... Like the cats I was there with weren't? lol We explored the laundry room, which still had beat up and overturned dryers in it. Also, we went into an office, or a room which was on the 2nd floor. There were old newspapers EVERYWHERE from the late 70's and early 80's. I saw a few bed frames with jutted coils. I tried hard most of the time to keep from breathing in the air, as it was stuffy anyways that day, and the asbestos warning really freaked me out. I saw the former patient rooms that were derelict with ripped out toilets, and wiring strewn about, and the aqua colored tile... which I always associated with eerie, outdated hospitals. It certainly was a creepy experience, fun nonetheless, though. There was a full moon out that night, and I remember the back of the building looking beautiful with the moon reflecting on parts of the windows. Really eerie, but really beautiful stuff. Lord knows it'll prolly get demolished some day, and with all the cops that are there now, no doubt it was a great priveledge to say that I was able to see what I had saw so recently, and without getting caught. Heh-heh, I even had a dream about this place about 2 weeks back... Scared the fuck out of me. In real life I was with a few people... In the dream... I was ALONE. I saw shit in there, I hope nobody will see in real life. Glenn Dale is one place you DO NOT want to go to ALONE. ;)

I too had been wondering what these obscure cupboards where used for. They are accessible from both the hallways and the patient rooms; The only conclusion I could come to was that the metal brackets may have been used to hold boxes of sorts in place, to be heated or cooled. I'm sure they must have been used often to have been accessible from both the rooms and the halls, to enable a nurse to remove it's contents even without entering the room.

So interesting.

My mother was a patient there in 1954-55 with TB. She also conceived my sister there with an employee. We would welcome any information about how to find out any information with regard to male orderlies employed during that time.

Any information would be helpful. The employee would be a male African American.

Again, my compliments to the photographer. The perfect image to correctly capture Heart Ache, Fear, Dread and Curiousity all in one.

Beautiful Photography indeed.

There's a washington post article "Quarantined" about this woman and her mom, who was at GlennDale inthe 1950s. Only legit article i've seen about it. Google the title to see it. it came out two years ago i think.

People I know in the PG County government tell me there is a "feasability study" in progress, and that nothing will be done to the site for at least a year
