605 Comments for Marlboro State Hospital

i agree Grace, surely they had records of what patients where in what rooms, is that the room numbers on the graves?

you pics are awsome motts you really know your stuff i spend hours on here looking at them all, and i do it b4 bed i shouldnt but i do, may be my dreams will inspire me as im determind to write a book based on some of the dreams i have as they are truly bizzare, i have one vivid and over active imagination, needless to say it would be a gruesome horror story , not that your pics are they are fantastic but they do set the mood!

WAVERLY HILLS SANATORIUM, theres one for ya motts if ya allowed ( not that you need to be ;-)
the pics from there would be great, have you ever thought of coming to the uk and digging up anything we might have that we know nothing about?

It looks like more than one person's handwriting.
I agree with MissValentine.

they are seen as only a number...

If you think about it [I'm not sure how Europe goes] but the US government does apply a number to each and every person that is born here. We are simply names to the people whom we know & are loved by, by the government we ARE simply a number.

Once death occurs, only those who remember us can account for our names... the government still think "000-00-0000" is dead, not "Jane Doe" [ps, nowadays for tombstone graving it is up to 95$ PER LETTER, can you imagine what the price was then? esp with a psychiatric hospital which I'm sure was not given the correct money for anything!]

This reminds me of the same sort of grave yard where the soilders are buried in [that are unknown, and whatnot?]. Such neatly lined up.

Died fighting, and yet no awards given here.

Nice shot Motts....may they all RIP.....

It doesn't look like it would be too comfortable....its almost scary in some ways...but we did get the sad lonely wheelchair......Nice picture Motts....

Nice picture again , Motts. I too wondered why all the doors are left open. Its interesting but kinda creepy too.

master peice.

I will in all likelehood be in a poor grave myself.
I think that when I die, my body is just fertterlizer, to re-plentish mother earth for other life to grow!

Or possibly...since the note seems quite new...someone got locked up on purpose for some reason....maybe you guys should chek out whats behind the locked doors....

Then of course we have the issue with the locks...they´re probably on the outside so I do not think that someone got locked up accdidentally.....it is all written by the same person....could be a multiple personality disorder....(look at the "t"s, "E"s, "h"s

For some reason I wish you had gotten a pic of #1 and the last or highest # in the grave yard...........

As usual, you are amazing in your ability to evoke a huge range of emotions from a single shot! Bravo!!
