I've been four times; twice in daylight and twice at night. Each time, the easiest way is [admin edit: entry information removed]. Do this quietly, using your cell phone as a light until you get on the grounds, and you shouldn't really have a problem with the park rangers. They live in a trailor in between the Adult and Children wards, and rarely venture inside the hospital. I won't lie, Glenn Dale isn't for anyone, especially at night. The last time I went, we saw a light in the fifth floor windows behind the Adult building. We went inside anyways, through a downstairs window next to the adult morgue, and got to the third floor. Twice in about five minutes, we heard and felt the entire building shake. We smoked a little weed before going in too, so it was just too much to take. I would reccomend going in daylight before going at night, absolutely. If you think you can handle it, get some shoes you don't mind getting wet, and try to get down into the SECOND children's basement. It's hard to find the stairs, because most is flooded out. It leads to the children's morgue, some abandoned beds, and the Children's ward entrance to the underground connecting tunnels. Another one of my favorite parts of Glenn Dale is the powerhouse. There is a sixty foot ladder on the wall going up to the catwalks and eventually the roof. It's exhilerating if you can make it to the top. I would highly reccomend to anyone who hasn't been here to check it out if you can handle it.
Death is something to not only be mourned but celebrated as well. As a Pagan I believe that the body dies and the soul keeps on living and we keep going through rebirths.
yeah.............i remember this place i come 2 the hospital about once a month and i always walk down this hallway.every time i do i always feel like im being followed
the police caught me in there once.................alone and i was about 2 get into trouble but i told him that i was a solo paranormal investigator and he believed it!
I lived at Glenn Dale Hospital. My father was the Hosp. Admin. Some other "former resident" wrote in and was wrong on his "facts" so I doubt he really lived there. It was not a scary place. I was never afraid living there.
I am 44. I grew up in Glenn Dale. When I was first born, we lived close to the hospital, at the USDA ste - next door. While the hospital was still open, my church childrens choir (including me) sang Christmas carols for the residents - this was after it became a hospital for the indigent. Some of them were scary to look at. Years later when I was a teenager, one of my high school classmates lived in one of the apartments. Her mom was a nurse there. I remember a party my classmate threw there and the only reason I was allowed to go was because her mom was a nurse. Mom wasn't there - but there was a lot of herb and sex - 1979. I had sex with my b/f once up at the water tower, during the day, in the tall grass. That was just up the hill from the bus stop on 450. I was so nervous because I thought someone would see us. Here's a coincidence - as an adult, I went to work in a tuberculosis clinic in the county Health Dept in 1981. Stayed there for five years. God, I feel old.
