dont go to here its borded up and theres mad cops

Very well done shot, and it is "freaky".

I love when nature comes back in to reclaim what was once hers, it is inspiring.

Most of the time it is your mind playing tricks on you, you are the victim of your own imagination. Then other times it is group effect. Your friend is scared, they are acting in a frightened manner you pick up on this and get scared yourself. More to that point they start saying things that put ideas "into your head" and you start buying into it. Then yet again there is the proven fact that the human mind tries to make sense of items or objects. You look at a cloud "hey that looks like ____ doesn't it" or you see a face in a shadow. Your brain has evolved to do this over the years. Children learn what their parents faces look like first… your brain will try to make sense of anything.

Seriously guys and I am not trying to be rude but if their were spooky things waiting to get you around every corner you would hear about it on the news all the time. Simple fact is the world is just much more simple than that.

Amazing shot, the shadows that the vines are giving off make them seem thicker somehow, and more alien and foreign. Simply amazing.

that is the call signal device that is plugged in.

Reminds me of the movie 'Changeling' ...

deffinently went there and got arrested
and it wasnt really worth getting arrested.

Just a heads up. Glenn Dale buildings are patrolled by Park Police and they do make arrests for trespassing on a weekly basis. The place is extremely dangerous from debris on the floors and hanging from the ceilings and there are holes that one can trip and fall. Most dangerous are the health hazards of airborne toxins from asbestos dust.

that is creepy .wonder how deep it is?

Ah! There's a picture of my father's grandmother standing right there. She went to this place in the thirties. Odd. :o

This, indeed, was the power plant and laundry center. The power wasn't for electricity but for steam which is how all the buildings were heated, even the buildings where the workers (like my dad) lived with their families. Every week the laundry workers would come by with a huge rolling basket of fresh towels and sheets for us and we would give them our dirty ones. I lived in one of the apartment buildings right next to the power plant. My father began work at the hospital as a steam-fitter for this power plant.

Folks, really, I grew up there. It was a fully functioning TB hospital. You cannot get TB from breathing in the air. That is just plain silly. I'm sure; however, that you could get hurt trapsing around in abandon buildings, so be careful if you choose to go visit the place. I have many, many wonderful memories and will gladly share about them if anyone is interest.

For instance the star on the hill wasn't erect each Christmas it was always there, just not lit until the Christmas season. My father helped to build it. I was always proud when it was lit; I thought it was so beautiful!

I have been to the hospital several times, probably over 15 times. I love going there and thrill I get out of it. That place will def get your adrenalin going. You half to be really careful in side cause there is asbestos everywhere! I recommend using a little dr face mask thing so you dont breath it in, and be rele carfull to not cut or scratch yourself with anything cause it could turn into a very nasty infection.

The one thing you half to worry about the most it the police. There are 3 Pg County Cops that live rite in front of the main hospital. I highly recommend no going in there during the weekends or during the day. I did get caught up there once on a weekend and they almost locked us up, but in the end i had to go to court and they gave us 20 hrs of community service. But besides that the place is rele cool to explorer. The only building that rele creeps me out is the children's building....i rele think it is haunted in there, I have seen things move and heard a little girl laughing once, and there is this one room if you go in, it feels fine when u walk in, but after u have been in there for like a min, it gets rele rele cold and u can start to see your breath....creepy....but anywho...if anyone ever has any questions about the place send me an e-mail, i can def give you more information about the place and where are good places to go through....oh one thing, if you go you def need to check out the tunnels in the basement, if you dont know where they are go down to the basement go straight to the wall in front of you, make a right than the tunnels will be right there to the left....if you ever want to take the tunnel to the children's hospital be careful cause i half to go in like waste deep water....i have dont it before and it is not fun.....very very cold!!

I WENT TO THIS PLACE IN EARLY OCTOBER WITH ABOUT 10 OF MY FRIENDS AND I ALSO HAD A FEELING LIKE WE WERE'NT WANTED THERE. WE DIDN'T GET CAUGHT BUT WE SAW A FEW THINGS. AS WE WERE WALKING DOWN A PATH (WHICH WAS THE WRONG WAY) A DOG RAN TOWARDS US AT FULL SPEED AND AS IT GOT CLOSE IT DISAPPEARED. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER WE SPOTTED THE DOG BY THE SIDE OF THE PATH AND WE FOLLOWED THE DOG UNTIL WE SPOTTED THE CHILDRENS BUILDING. WE WENT INSIDE AND AS SOON AS WE GOT IN WE SAW AN ADULT SHADOW RUNNING DOWN THE HALLWAY AFTER A CHILD'S SHADOW. EVERYBODY WAS FREAKED OUT AND RAN BACK OUTSIDE THE BUILDING. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES WE WENT BACK INSIDE AND CONTINUED WALKIN THRU THE BUILDING. WE WERE IN THE BULIDING FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES BUT DIDNT SEE ANYTHING ELSE. AS WE WERE LEAVING THE BUILDING WE HEARD VOICES OF A GROUP OF CHILDREN LAUGHING AND PLAYING. IT SOUNDED LIKE ONE OF THEM WAS RIGHT BESIDE ME TALKING BUT WHEN I LOOKED THERE WAS NUTHING THERE. BY THIS TIME I WAS COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT AND WAS READY 2 GO. THIS PLACE REALLY IS HAUNTED SO IF UR INTERESTED IN THIS KIND OF STUFF THEN IT WOULD BE A GOOD EXPERIENCE BUT IF NOT STAY HOME BECAUSE U WILL SEE OR HEAR SOMETHING...
