You can do an autopsy, scrub up and play a quick game of b-ball !

The small vials were some kind of "cell activator" fluid that were blood-colored but I'm pretty sure after a decent amount of time (a day?), real dried blood turns a rusty brown color.

Im pretty sure that is blood, but as Motts stated it was put there after the closing. There were small vials of blood kicking around in there but Im not sure where they came from

Gotta be quick ; )

Thanks for the offer though!

This machine is an Electroencephalograph (EEG). It was used to measure brainwaves, the amount of buttons and dials on it is staggering.

Quite a few large abandoned state hospitals are still partially active, although they have been downsized greatly, and there are numerous smaller ones that still exist.

The New York State archives report that in 1986, NYS had 33 mental health facilities: 23 psychiatric centers for adults; 6 psychiatric centers for children; 2 forensic psychiatric centers, and 2 research facilities.

Do you know how many insane asylums are still in use today in New York?

it's a simple subject, but the picture is fabulous!
