a group of friends and I went there last night. We stepped into I think what was Nurse's quarters, and later found a window entry into the adult-hospital. My two friends stepped in and explored a tid bit and came back out. We plan to go back there next week. Just wondering if you guys could give any advice on hiding spots, access points, places to avoid (danger), etc. We were blatantly out in the open, surprised nobody caught us, so if you guys know a good backway onto the grounds that would help as well. Is there any map online? Any architectural drawings? Thanks. I am not superstitious, and do not believe in the supernatural. I think this is the ultimate test to make me a believer, my prime drive in doing this.
I dont believe i all this scary shit. But if I had a run in with the paranormal, believe you me i'll be the first one out the fuckin door. Has any one been to one of those rundown prisons ye, that would be sweet to go to
I was recently nabbed for trespassing at GDH and have a court date set for March. Should I find an attorney or expect to just pay a fine and do some community service.??
Was there earlier tonight.....first time. Visited the basement, first, second and third floors of the Children's hospital. There was the funniest graffiti EVER on one of the walls on the first floor....it read "Lions and tigers and bears, OH MY!"....definitely broke the tension.
My granddmother, Gladys Nell Prebble, died at Glen Dale in 1938 from TB. She left 9 under aged children in Charles County, Maryland with a father, who could not cope and signed the children over to Washington, DC. The oldest was my mother, Mary, age 16. She was very lucky and her boyfriend, Joe asked her to marry him. I am Judith and was born 2 years later. Mary was a wonderful mother and from the stories she told me, her mother, Gladys Nell was a loving mother. The oldest son, age 15 ran away and joined the service after hoboing around the country. The five younger children were placed in an orphanage in Washington, DC. The very youngest, a girl and a boy, were adopted and thought to be lost to my mother forever. After my mother married, over the years she allowed her 2 brothers and 2 sisters to come and live with her. This was a life with outside plumbing and lots of country cooking. They were never sorry. Can you believe the two adoptive members of the family found us and there are many happy events with all 9 children. The father, who left them, was an alcholic and became a hobo. He was forgiven and a part of the children's life as an older man. My grandmother, Gladys Nell, was a registered nurse educated in Ware, Mass. She was working as a nurse in Washington, DC, when she met my grandfather, who had been wounded. He was in the Coast Guard and in WW 1. I will never forget my family story. Glen Dale was a sad place and my mother told me how her mother had to leave the children and had the hope she would be healed. Also, I want to say, my grandmother caught TB, by going to work as a nurse during the depression. My grandfather could not find work. If you want to e-mail me....write to Pezjude@cs.com and put Glen Dale Gladys Nell on subject line. History is my main reason for writing this. Judith
