im just waiting for that little girl from the Ring to pop out of one of the doorways

makes you wonder if they did get out :evil grin:

It looks like a deer, probably dragged there by another animal.

the door in the first pic has similar marks on it.

the first door on the right has a hasp lock on it, i don't recall seeing one of those used on a patient door before.

Deb. Considering the year that this building was built, the screens were there so they could open the windows to let fresh air in and not bugs.

I doubt it had anything to do with vandals; this sort of condition is pretty standard in older cemeteries. The process of burial inevitably disturbs the ground, and the dirt that is piled back over the tomb (and on which the stone sits) is not going to be entirely firm. Over the years the soil settles downwards, causing tombstones to tilt, fall over, or even sink into the ground. Added to that would also be the fact that the ground freezes and thus expands in the winter. (Modern cemeteries actually have a stone slab above the tomb, just beneath the ground you actually see, to prevent this).

I like the red of the rust.

I love this one. I like how the blueish green makes the tombstone have an eerie feel to it.
