Motts, did you happen to notice the area in the basement, where the entrances said something that prohibited employees of the hospital from entering and that the area was for patients only. Because I cannot figure out why they would not allow employees but allow patients.

This is the basement area i believe..... did you happen to notice the metal set of tracks in the floor, because I followed them and they led to a strong locked door which I could not get open, and I am really interested in knowing what the tracks were used to move. So if you know, please post it.

I was in a similar hallway in the hospital earlier in the night, but there were overturned desks and filing cabinets strewn about...on the ground are many interesting documents which have information from the time about Electroconvulsive Therapy stating that it would cause the patient and his thoughts to return to normal. There were also accident reports about injured patients. The injury reports included things such as patients injuring their hands after punching through windows. I even found one stating one patient had pushed another down the stairs. The Danvers State Asylum is extremely interesting, but extremely dangerous. I also travelled the underground tunnels where there is certainly a large amount of asbestos around all of the pipes and on the ground. There is also a unbelievably large amount of mold convering whole walls within these tunnels. Then there is the collapsed flooring on many floors. So I reccomend visitng, but also being very cautious as the many warnings on the walls will tell you.
