One word: a-n-c-i-e-n-t!

This picture prety much depicts everything about my life right now. Empty. I love this website and all the pictures are awesome. I admire the obvious dedication you have to your photographs. ^ ^

I am very interested in any information anyone has about belchertown state school, I've been taking pictures there and researching it for a while. I'd love to know more about the place from former patients and employees if possible. Or any suggestions on how to get more information, please contact me at http://www.facebook.co...p?id=100000074927432

but please leave a message telling me if you're interested in talking or seeing my photographs, I don't except random adds.

I love how the whole pic is slightly askew.

It is now 2011 and most buildings are still safe (for the most part) to go in!

now if you go in the cieling is falling apart. and there's pools of water everywhere. its not as pretty.

Oh, I remember these bad boys from my school days. You almost needed an engineering degree to thread the film through the sprockets. If it wasn't done correctly, the film would get stuck and the bright lamp would burn a hole in it.

its amazing what happens when people just stop using something and leave, when someone simply stops mataining it falls into such a state of dissaray and mayhem its crazy. The fact that nature is responsible for all of this is pretty amazing as well.

It almost looks like the Grin Reaperi n that window -- you can almost see the hooded skeletal face.

OOOOooooookay...methinks I will be going to watch some happy tv now. *Spooked out*

THis reminds me of the chairs in the auditorium in my daughter's school! She is in 6th Grade and my husband (her father) used to go to that school way back in the 1970's! I think it was a high school back then (9th - 12th Grade) and when we went there for Orientation at the beginning of this school year (2010) he said it brought back a LOT of memories! The school looks a lot like he remembered it. Wow.

Look just above the staircase: doesn't that dark spot look like a human head?

If you listen you can hear the voices of students past. The laughter & the tears, the joys & the sorrows. Amazing photo Motts.

I go there every few weeks with friends. they are starting to crack down on that place. police are in there more often becuz idiots dont just search the building they want to destroy it and ruin it for the people who want to just look around. but its really crazy in there. everything is just demolished and decayed. Northampton State Hospital is awesome too, there is still a few buildings that are accesible. there is one way in the back across the street from where the main hospital was. the NSH is better to go to, a little more creepier

its amazing that it looks nothing like this anymore, i wish i could have seen it before it go so bad
