my boss said when he was 18 he used to explore the grounds quite often, from what he tells me there was a murder in that room and someone painted it black after it took place......just what he told me
Hello having lived in md for 40 years i remember the old hospital as a kid my mom would drive by it on the way to shelby beach! My dad played golf there to i remember it well as he told me what it was used for... Never heard of a lot of what i read here i know it just as the old hospital thats close.. Now in 2007 i find it a bit funny of all the ghost stories ect ect true or not as a historical place it should be saved restored and use for something.. Inever did go and wander around the place as . Did drive by many times and now with the web great to see its still around..
I went there last night...we had to walk thru train tracks to get there...i didnt know you could drive to get there. It was creepy because it was at night but we didnt see any paranormal activity. However the night before a friend of mine went and said there was a dead falcon where the satanic writings were. We didnt get too far into the building because we were creeped out but we plan on going again during the daytime. We heard what sounded like a 4wheeler riding around outside the grounds. It is definitely an awesome place to explore.
i drove by glen dale last night to see if the buildings were still there and they are as creepy as ever. i often went to glen dale from '87-'89 and I'm sad to say i'm responsible for some of the destruction but at sixteen it was fun to smash windows! I heard all the rumors of it being an insane asylum, 'halloween' type stories of someone going crazy and murdering everyone, weird 'x-files' type disease outbreaks, and the tb story. but honestly, in the state that the hospital was left in, it was very easy to believe the more outrageous stories. We would find wheelchairs, boxes of medical gloves, hypodermic needles, stethoscopes, etc.. The older kids claimed to have found straitjackets but I never saw one. anyway, it was left as if something really fucked up happened, and at the time it was seized US property and not county property and was a federal offence if you were caught and not a county offence, contributing more to my 'x-files' type conspiracy. I never saw anything 'supernatural' but there was always creepy things happening. we would often find satanic graffit and mutilated cats and dogs. we would find blood stains in the morgues, and i found a bloody, fleshy crutch once but i always attributed them to satanic or wannabe satanic pranksters. I'm so glad this site is here. the visits to Glen dale are imprinted in my memories but seeing these pictures is really something else.

we went all around Glenn Dale with our team of 11 people and when we were leaving from the little park we werent even on the property and some dick headed cops pulled up but we made it out of there with only 2 people with $500. fines and when the court date came to the cops never showed up
