Hey Glenndale Explorer, If you can help to, that would be cool. We wanna go sometime soon, so any help would be greatly welcomed , Thanks

Hey Ryan, So what's your fool proof way of getting into the place, I have never been, and me and some friends want to check it out.

Been there about 7 times. Last time I went alone. I have some decent pictures and in the 7 times I only saw Police once and had three strange occurances.

One, on the right side of the children's building, someone snickered. It cam from above, it sounded very evil, and nothing else happened until we got in. When in the building, we heard the loudest crash, like someone kicking an old tin gas can above us. Then nothing for the rest of the time.

On another occasion, when invading the larger building, my friend and I amde it to the top where the gear system ran a "dumb elevator" system. We heard from several floors below and deep grunt.

I am not saying any of these wasn't a real person. But when you are there, there is an opression. The feeling that not enoguh good things happened there to offset the bad things. It feels as if you are being watched, and I am not talking about police.

what did he look like, when was this

my friends and i have been in the hospital many times. the latter of the many we had a ghostly experience. we we walking through the adult ward and felt a large vibration, kinda like a quick beat from a powerful bass. we all stopped not knowing if we really felt it. thinking it might be cops we started to run alongside the back of the building as we ran by my brother and i both looked up at the 5th story window and saw a young boy watching us out of the window. i stopped and pointed, the boy stepped back into the darkness, he didnt seem to have a light or anything but i guess he could have been another explorer. theres something wrong with that place.

This is a great pic. Its really creepy. Does anyone know for sure if Glenn Dale is haunted?

you all are idiots. You better hope I never catch you guys up there.

It was probably your reflection......smoke another one dude. ;-]

OMG! there's another patty! guess I'll have to use an alias. hey patty, wish I was with you guys, but I'm in the midwest.

yea me and 2 other friends went up there on august 19th i belive it was. it was after a redskins pre season game. anyways. we were drunk as shit and were dumb enought to park right at the mouth of the community and walk up the hill to the adult ward. well we "sneak" all the way up to the front door of the adult ward and i guess the cops were changing shifts and we saw some headlights so the 2 of us bolted to the big pine or w/e tree and my other friend was frozen in his tracks at the door so i ran back to get him. we hear someone coming so i laid down by a bush and he just found a spot near me. yes the cops use night vision because thats how we found my other friend. well he took us back to the car searched us and all that stuff. got our id's and told us that if we ever came back again that he would fuck us in the ass! no joke at all! the only reason he let us go i think was because we were all fire fighters and he was just gettin off his shift. it was like 2 or 3 in the mornin. well anyways he chewed us out for a good 30 to 40 mins before he let us go. well that was my experiance. if u want to know more about it or about glenn dale u can call me. [edit: please don't post phone #'s]. ive been up there many times and only caught once.

Man, I now know how to easily keep kids out of exploring urban ruins... get a "Halloween Sounds" CD, stick it into a player on repeat, put it somewhere in the building where it will echo just enough to sound like the place is haunted.

I'll bet it works better than any alarm or security guard alive.

i went there wit my friends and it scared the hell out of me! it was raining and cold, never go back again. plus we wrer skipping skool.

I was in this fuckin hall. it was so freeaky..i saw red eyes in a window!

My Mom was at Glenn Dale and I'm trying to contact former patients and staff for magazine article. Please email

Damn...this is awesome. I moved to an old white farmhouse and this place was just through the woods a bit and just below the hill leading to the front entrance I think. I don't know if the old house is still there but our landlord's name was Gaylord something or other lol.And our house was 2 story and very old...even before the hospital was built. I used to go and explore and play army in that place approx. 20-22 years ago and the basement at the time wasn't flooded.It held a nurses station and rubber rooms. I remember lots of strange things and encounters and I had a dream about this place and have been thinking about it since so today I began looking for it. It was used as a training ground for paramilitary when I lived there.And I found documents saying it also help German POW's at one time during WWII. The place has a draw on me that to this day I still can't figure out. I WILL NEVER forget my experiences there. Like once I walked into the library and there was a rocking chair rocking by the window by itslef in the middle of broad daylight. You can actually feel the suffering coming from the basement like some tangible emanation, the halls were so very dark and the history in that place is surreal. If anyone wishes to talk to me you can e-mail me at odawamc@aol.com. I have stories and witnesses. I took my mom once and she would never go back again so I used to have to sneak up there alot by myself as a boy of only 8-9 yrs old. After seeing the pictures alot of memories came flooding back.
