Sexy...

i must agree with motts on this one. i havent been to as many places as he has been but ive been to my fare share of dead buildings and such. i do belive in the paranormal but have never heard or seen anything that would lead me to belive that any of the places ive visited to be huanted... ive also been to these places during the day and at night and still nothing that couldent be explained with a little investigation

Well since you asked, I'll voice my thoughts on this...

These old asylums, prisons, and state schools were one of the most horrifying places where hundreds of thousands of people have lived out the ends of their lives and died. Some were sexually abused by other patients and the staff, some of those were children, locked in seclusion rooms and beaten, some even murdered by other patients... I can't think of anywhere else troubled souls would reside.

So in the countless dripping, dank, pitch black basement morgues and caged seclusion rooms of the most violent wards, I haven't seen or heard one thing that would constitute as supernatural. People can pick out all sorts of anomalies within my photos but I can attribute a reason for all of them (so far).

Am I a skeptic? Yes. Does that make me "blind" to paranormal forces? I don't see why it would, but hey, maybe so.

So to answer your question, no, I do not think these places are haunted.

It is most definately beautiful. I also have a love for exploring abandoned buildings.

However, I must ask - do you feel that any of the places you visit are haunted?

Looks like either you caught an entity, or someone got in the photo and moved real quickly while you snapped the photo

I love it when Motts posts something with which I can relate. I'm a molecular biologist, and I study how viruses interact with receptors on the cell surface. I frequently use chlorpromazine in my cell culture experiments because the drug completely impairs one of the uptake pathways that the viruses normally exploit. Being a neuroleptic drug, everyone in the lab that handles it must observe strict safety protocols.

That's me lighting the hallway.

Is that shadow meant to be there because its very spooky

This is the "Motts" of chairs pt 2

This is the "Motts" of chairs.

It IS a pretty wonderful shot. isn't it? The lighting and the angles of the barred windows is fantastic.

I love the angle on this shot . . .

I don't know why but this shot reminds me of some kind of surrealistic carnival's ticket office. Awesome shot!

This shot makes me wonder what's at the top. It's Awesome!

It looks alive somehow........
