1,382 Comments for Dixmont State Hospital

I came here for the pictures. At first, I didn't even notice there was comments below the photos. When I started reading them, it became addictive.

I found out that (almost) every detail in (almost) every picture is brought to my attention. Little things I missed, like dead flies on the floor are suddenly brought to my attention. Even the most mundane photo, such as a door saying 'Drug Room' will have fifty comments. All worth reading and being sad, funny and ed-u-cational all at the same time. You can't get much better than this.

Maybe the paint on the room walls is latex? Latex doesn't peel I think? Or maybe I don't know.

My friends actually did the spraypainting, as well as a few of the red pentagrams. They did it to scare a local radio station, B93.7 when they went there. They made them leave because they would spraypaint pentagrams in rooms they just left so when they came back they got scared crapless.

I don't know why, but I think your stairway shots are my favorite Motts! I think it gives a feeling of anticipation not knowing what awaits upstairs or downstairs.

Lets not forget this place has been shut down for some time. Not all the damage you see was done by pacients...

God in heaven, my derbies!!!!! =8-o

Jude,

[stunned silence]

beni, you haven't seen some of our butts (lucky for you, too). :-(

He may have, since he always takes great pics and all angles.

And I guess it's fitting as the space belonged to her in the first place.....

I got a chance to get some "last time" pictures at Dixmont about a week ago. Logged on today and looked at the news, it's a good thing I made it there, it burned today, pretty extensive: http://www.thepittsbur.../5266625/detail.html

The more I look at it, the more it reflects exactly like it's glass of some sort.

Ooooh baby. ;)

I think Motts has another eye in the back of his head too. Just like mothers do. So we'd best all behave. :)

I like the floor. The fallen ceiling tiles are being absorbed by the floor, or so it seems.
