Ok, maybe I was trying to be just a little bit of a smart ass... I can't help it that my personal devil happens to sit on my fingers!

To be honest, I'm not even trying to be me these days, let alone you or ~Me. I'm just trying to be.

So, Sketch, you're not trying to be me? (Please note, me, not ~Me).

"People who was held hostege" - chuckle chuckle. :-)

I was there today, four numbing shots. I do believe even my eyeball was numb for a while there. Now that the numbing is over where he shot me is sore as crap. Stupid dentist tried to talk to me while numbing me. I almost bit him.........seven or eight times today. :'( I feel sorry for dentists because of paitents like me, that glare at you when you get near them. But then again if i was the dentist i would laugh in the situation because of the ceartian people (jodi) that cry when getting numbed. Anyways i was there today, in that chair.

The first thing that comes to my mind is everything was just left as it was. For instance, this makes me feel like one morning they got the memo that the hospital was closing down so they get the child from their beds and just leave. No one ever talks about how the abandonment started. Did they just go in one day and grab all the children, shut off the power, and lock the doors. Why are none of these buildings rehabilitated, like what the buildings 'function' was in the first place. I understand that the physical conditions of the building are poor. It just seems so wasteful. Or is it because of the memories that are made while in the establishment? Is that why they don't do anything with the property?

So... it was for people storage? I'm not sure what you mean by "held hostage". Do you just mean held against their will? The same could be said of most doors inside an asylum or a jail. Usually a hostage is someone who is being held against their will to be traded for something else (money, a way out of a situation, etc). What exactly were you trying to say? (I'm not trying to be a smart ass, it just sounds that way...)

no,that door was not used for storege it was used for people who was held hostege

Thanks, Sketch.

No pictures of the "good stuff" though... :(

Yeah, I think thats her name, and she was the only civilian killed in the war, but someone once said a lady named Judith Henry and her two sons died during the Battle of Manassas, the first one, when a shell burst in their cabin on a hill. Something like that. Old records are so hard to prove, even with ultra modern forensics!

Her name was Jenny Wade, and she was baking bread in a kitchen in the middle of a battle.

I've been to Gettysburg, but I didn't get a chance to see the house you're talking about. If you just sit there and close your eyes out on the plain you can forget about all the blood shed there. Very peaceful place! And no, I didn't see any ghosts, but I did get a few strange pictures...

Wasn't she the only civilian killed in the war or something?
(never mind me, my parents took me on a "Civil War" themed vacation...yeah)

In this case, it really looks like rust water...

Yeah, I haven't been to Gettysburg, but heard plenty of stories about phantom black dogs that were sighted, other weird happenings such as unusually ferocious thunderstorms, probably the reason why her blood is preserved is the building material on the walls, maybe the acids or compounds in the mortar were able to create some sort of "binding action".
This is interesting to investigate though, it almost borders on the paranormal.

Darn, I totally beleived Lisa Simpson when she explained this to Bart. I guess I'll have to go farther afield for my scientific education!
