With all the landslides and demolition, were the rumors of unmarked graves found to be true? Were there any human bones found? If so, did the media report on it? If not, was the media paid off by Walmart to keep their mouths shut?

I thought the labels said "sick room."

I'm going to say '80s on this one. Yes there are '70s elements such as the fake 'fro on the blond fellow and the turtle-neck on the woman on the right. The reason I'm calling '80s on this is because of the lapels on the shirts that have them and the width of the tie. The lapels are smaller and the tie is narrower -- as they were in the '80s rather than the wide style of the '70s. Also all the pants are solid-color, no plads or stripes as would have been seen on at least one member in the '70s.

The decaying paint above the windows peculiarly resemble eyebrows ..

Wally world sux....They actually built over a native Ameriacan burial ground in the Chattanooga area......(Cue theremin!)

THats it, Motts. Im mad! theyre turning this place into Wal Mart? *Eyeroll*

i love it

Its very different with English made! American builds each drawers level with each doors. English builds each drawers level just in one door

wow, thats awesome

i love the second comment lol

wow, what an amazing looking place...

Even Though I Just heard about Dixmont I wish it was still there.
Wouldnt that be funny your shopping at the new Wal-Mart and you see a ghost in a Wal-Mart Uniform Saying "Wal-Mart Save Money Live Better".
I Will miss Dixmont.

You know, Motts, I know this is an old gallary,.. but I was SO extremely interested into this hospital/ruins phase.. my grandma worked at the psych hospital in utica, ny.. the old main one that i ventured into so many times.. i remember hanging out and going on outtings with her patients.. shes no longer alive and a lot of her old residents/patients arent either.. now IM a nurse, and I've been ill enough to require psychiatric hospitalization .. and I've worked with some of HER old patients.. and It's just so numbing and eye opening to think I was so 100% skewed in my beliefs one way and now I totally think so much in the other direction and part of it was spawned by your photographs.
I think you're cool enough to understand what I mean but it's really surprising what most of your viewers have to say!! God damn. P.S. I push every single drugs ever listed on this site plus some. It isn't barbaric or inhuman... you try getting attacked by someone psychotic or mentally imbalanced. better to give an IM injection than to have the potential well being of staff and other residents at risk.

definitely a very dark, depressing palce

Amen Larry D.

I was in psych hospitals, and I have had my share of really BAD employees (staff) who really did NOT give a crap about us...but most of my experiences were positive and I am much better for them now.

Lynne and Motts -- you are my heroes.

Don't argue...you have my undying gratitude and respect. :)
