Mellaril? With all the current black box warnings? I don't think so ...

TIME FOR YOUR MELLARIL

its too bad you never got shots of HIGH POINT HOSPITAL IN GREENWICH CT BEFORE IT WAS BURNED DOWN

I wish there was a way to keep it from being demolished. It is a beautiful piece of history, and I loved seeing the grounds on my walks.

excellent photo...
there's no way back...Love this photo

I love this photo!
great work.... =)

I recognized the seal and elms almost immediately. Living in Connecticut almost my whole life has done that to me.

beautiful shots. I just can't get over how amazing they all are.

hey motts im only 13 years old and my mom is tina j. and we both love your site to death. we consider your site the best entertainment their is. and is what we take the most intrest in. see we even been exploring in places to like bryces insain asylem. we love going in old places like that. thats why we like your site cause it takes us places we can't go

I LOVE this site. I think it is great how everyone is trying to figure out what this "thing" is. I admit I have NO idea what it is but I have sure enjoyed reading about the chickens, the dead bodies, the crud on the floor, the bread baking, etc. Too bad there are no sites dedicated to trying to figure out what certain objects are. This is kind of fun!

When I was at UConn back in the day, a couple of my dorm friends were pysch majors. They actually visited the State Hopital a few times for clinical research . They worked with sex offenders that were held there, so this may be the building? or not?

i just thik its weird how the bed looks in such good shape for how old it is and the clean spot underneith the bed..

I know MOST of the people from Norwich,when
the hospital was open,wanted it closed.The typical "Not in my backyard" attitude.They wanted
the insane taken care of,just not here.To them,if
the place was torn down,and rebuilt on,it would be fine.I'm kinda surprised the local Casino's haven't acquired the property,I do
know they tried very hard to get it for parking.

I worked here for a mechanical contractor in the
early 80's.They would release people from here
without them having anywhere to go.They would
walk to the city of Norwich,and the people in Norwich would be VERY unhappy.I think that had a major bearing on the place closing.I lived in the CITY of Norwich from 1962 to 2001.

poisonousxbeauty- your comment rings true. i spent a year in a hospital (self-commited) and i felt very safe inside. the outside world was just to much and it seemed everyone was out to get me.
