A child's garden of morgues-can you beat that.........

well,ah,thats........
not..............
strangest thing,
but its' a beautiful thing :
as I had stated before,I love murky underground water.So strange though..
Regarding the comments about flesh on the bottom,in tech school(yes,1971)the young man who sat next to me told me of an experience one summer in an outdoor pool.
He said he felt something when he dove to the bottom.He dove to the bottom again with his eyes open and found a blueish bloated body on the pool floor.He reported it to the life guard.No one had been reported missing.
Regarding the comment about suction on a stream bottom,I knew a girl in Sunday School(yes,1968)who drown that way.It took me decades to track the story down.It seems Bond Bread on the hill overlooking Tacony Creek(Phila.)at times took in water that way.
She was about 13.Her brother hanged himself in a Florida jail cell the summer before.He was 16.
I'm surprised at Lynn's comment about institutions killing people and cutting them up,though its' true (don't forget to experiment on them first!)

Why do they have to call it, "Mouth" gags?, why not just gags? how many kinds of gags are there..?

The water tower reminded me of the Martians in The War of the Worlds.

Here's another freaky picture of this hole I found..... (I still like Motts picture better though)

Nothing that has a historic background (like these places) should be demolished, no matter how bad a shape it is in; people should try to preserve the history. And its a sad day when people do knock places like this down just to built houses or offices.

I've been looking at this site for the past 3 days and that is the only picture that has made my stomach knot up.

omg Motts, I love your pictures so much! they are amazing! Glenn Dale is my favorite abandoned hospital, so I enjoyed these pictures very much. I must say this might be my favorite picture of Glenn Dale. It does look like someone ran and jumped out the window. What's kinda weird is the first thing I saw in my mind when I looked at this picture was a girl about 12 yrs old (that was a patient there) that ran and jumped out the window and almost died! It was really weird. But it was only in my head.
I really badly want to go to Glenn Dale but i don't think I will ever get the chance. Who has been there before? How cool is it? I bet it's really cool.
Well, keep up the great work Motts!

its a refrigerator or sumthin

I went there last summer with a group of friends at night. We were nervous but we drove right on the grounds past all the No Trespassing signs. We stayed maybe an hour, We got pictures. It was cool, But thank god we didn't get caught. We didn't experience anything unusual but it was very scary.

To my understanding this place has been empited out since 1981 or 1982.

I wonder if they're preserving it as a landmark or perhaps plans to renovate it someday. Then again, perhaps it's in too bad of shape to consider renovating and maybe should be demolished.

I'd love to see some photos of this place while it was still in operation back in the day.

I can't help but feel so curious when I drive by it and see it in its deformed shape.

You guys ever wonder things like,

Who was the last body removed from this freezer? What kind of conditions did he suffer from? Does he have any family still alive? What kind of person was he?

Think about that all the time when I look at these photos.

You'd probably gag to death if you drank that water.

This is it.

In my senior year of high school I remember sitting in front of this very door (in the car with a group of friends) with the lights out and the engine off. We sat in total silence and I just remember feeling like somebody was watching us from the windows above. It was kinda weird.
