mumm the floor needs mowing again

i see the girl,
its kinda half a face of a girl coming out of the blue room, her head slightly down, with her left hand on her chin and her right hand hanging at her side

I'm surprised to see a wooden seclusion door. Most of the doors I have seen have been made out of steel and have plexiglas
covered with mesh window. Sorry if that last part sounds strange, I'm tired I guess.

I love the way the light casts shadows on the wall and gives it a blue hue. The perspective from inside is supurb and makes one feel that they are inside looking out. I have felt that many times btw.

looks like a pretty small bed!! seems so sad:(

one of my favs!! u do such good work!! love it

looks like a foot sticking out!! great find

Like the way the sunlight streams through the window and casts a shadow on the wall.

Seriously. My bed is WAAAY cooler. I finally have pics up of it. Check 'em out. Look up Phantom Shewolf on myspace.com. It's pretty bad ass.

Isn't funny how silence is always louder than noise?

What happens to the grave sites when these buildings are torn down? Is there any site that you could research the history of the patients? I had a great aunt who was committed to an asylum over a hundred years ago while she was a child. Her condition was diagnosed then as melancholy, I guess today it is called depression. I found out she died at the hospital and was buried at it cemetery. When the building was torn down some forty or years ago they tore up the grave yard and made one mass grave for all the remains.
I sometimes wonder about this young girl who died at the age of twenty one. Being family and all. It's like finding a piece of a puzzle that you did not even know you were missing.

was the little square hole in the door leading to a nurse's station?

Very amazing must be one of my favs

People should let sleeping coffins lie -

EEEEK!!!!
