605 Comments for Marlboro State Hospital

I was a assistant facilities engineer @ Marlboro back in the late 70's thru early 80's. I worked on all the mechanical systems for the entire facility and as such I was one of the very fe that had access to every single area, so I can tell you that I saw it ALL during my term of employment. In all fairness to the medical/psychiatric staff, most were very caring and professional individuals. In regards to the patients/residents...most were deeply disturbed and pretty much non-functional and some you wouldn't ever turn your back on because they would straight kill you! But suprisingly, there were many there who by today's standards were extremely normal and very good people Haha. To sum it up from my experience...Marlboro harkens back to a time when we as a society sequestered those individuals who posed a very real danger to themselves and others, where now they simply walk among us...

i Worked at this hospital for 5 years in 1965 - 1970. At times they were better off when they died cause what some of the aids did to them. Slapped them around etc. Even the head doctor was horrible. When he did an exam to the females he did more then exam. Who knows what else went on in that place.

There are so many of them :|

Marlboro, New Jersey, Marlboro State Psychiatric Hospital, being torn down so history will forget the real stories here.

everything about this place is true! and worst!

There is more here than anyone knows.

The hospital likely didnt use a marker #666 for the same reasons hotels dont have a 13th floor...superstition and such

Maybe its the marks from the guy who wrote that note before? The one who got locked into one of the rooms?

Theres sratches below the door's window,but,seeing as theyre on the outside,then it's likey made by someone else

'How' is the first word the person wrote to start the note. When he realized that wasn't the way he wanted to start the note, he turned the paper around & wrote a new one.

Amazing!

Wow... Weird seeing this place again! My daughter started working there in the 90's, soon after they filed a report on this place. She was so eager to help wherever she could. She said at night, she'd go to peek through the square windows on the door. Fantastic photographs!

amazing shot. I wanna explore one of these institutions so bad!

It's just common practice to avoid numbers of bad omen, even in today's world. My guess would be that there was never a patient #666. Just like buildings missing the 13th floor. (In china it's usually the 4th & 13th floor missing in commercial buildings. 4 sounds like death or die in chinese)

Anyway, sorry to post dribble in an old gallery. Saw the updates, glad you're back!

Where is this located at in Marquette?
