Hey, I was thinking the same thing... How the note looks so clean and fresh. So I'd guess it was left there by some people who dropped in for a visit... However -- it could lead one to write one hell of an interesting ghost story or something...

Wow. that head picture was... Ermmmm... Interesting? I thought it was the same head, only I thought it was done with mirrors or photoshop. Not chopping it in half. Oh wow. While that is interesting I think I'lll stick with Motts' photos for now.. And to make this photo related, I thought it was bones at first glance...

Do you know, if this room was used as a sleeping room, an office or maybe storage or what?

Interesting. But ewwww, wouldn't that itch or something? Having them crawling around? I guess itching is better than scraping which sounds just awful and maybe there is something like a numbing agent that they use with the maggets? Anyway. neat, but also kinda yucky and creepy.

This brother outside asst. person, I'm guessing, from my dealings with residentual schools, was most likely some sort of dorm parent/supervisor and his job was to insure the students didn't use too hot of water. I'm guessing that if everyone used loads and loads of hot water it would be much money to the school, plus there may be rules/laws regarding resident schools and water temp, so no one burns themselves. I'm sure, or I'd hope at least that this brother person, whoever he was, would at least grant some degree of privicy whilst supervising showers and the temps of same.

Ewwwwwww Gads! That Dr Fear fella gives me the creeps! And you're kidding right? Fear? This is the guy's real last name? Guess it must be as that what he was called in the video. Damn it fits! Is it just me or does that dude look like a living corpse or what? YUCK!

OMFG yeah dude! That pic of that guy who died in the bath and that heater or whatever it was went in with him and nobody found him for a really long time? Gaaaaaaaaaaag! That was totally gross. I think the most gross pic on Rotten (I think they've removed it now) was the set of that guy who died and nobody found him for a whole week, and it was summer, hot hot summer? Now I have a strong stomach, but I nearly puked when I saw that...

Back in the time I went to our state school for the blind, mid/late 80 early 90sfor their summr school program, the old admin/dorm/dinning room building had several floors, ground, which was at the street level. They had admin offices and the like there, then a "basement" that was at garden level I think it is called. The activity room and dinning room nd a bunch of other rooms I never learned the use for were there... Then above the "ground" floor you had floors 1 and 2, which confused me at first because clearly anyone looking at the building could count 3 levels, plus the garden level... At any rate. There were stairs going from the garden level up to the top floor. Not straight up ut short flight a landig, short flight, a landing, ect. ect. We were always housed on the top floor of the building, even the SMH kids some of whome couldn't do the stairs. Which is hy we had the creeky old intreeguingly smelling rattletrap elevator... This thing was so old you had to pull a gate across before it would go anyplace and you couldn't fit many people on it. This is how the SMH kids went down to dinner or anyplace that as off the op floor. Execpt, that s, in case of fire or emergency, neither of hichever took plac hen I as here. If ever.
They, the school, ere required by law to have this thing, some contraption on wheels that you'd restrain a non-amblulatory person into and I guess slide down the steps. I nver got to see this thing in acton but did sk about it and hat was what I was told.

And... LOL OMG, if I'm seeing correctly, which may or may not be the case, this evening, and those ARE the horrid scratchy plastic chairs with the triangle hole out of the back, I too had to suffer them in grade school. I always wondered what that hole was for? Ventlation I guess...

LOL Rome. "Back in that time." This makes me laugh. And feel horridly old.

I bet what will happen to all this stuff when the place closes for good is... Nothing. They'll leave it there and vandels will get hold of it or folks will attempt to make off with it, provided they can untangle all that, for the scrap metal or it will get pulled out and go on the junkheap when and if they pull down the building. Just my thoughts though...

Aaah, was wondering when the lonely chair pic would show up. Very nice!<3

Ug! Small tight places! I would of not done well here if I ha been placed here as a child. I think if I were emotionally unstable, for me, being placed in a small tight place would of upset me even more.

Would this be one of the seclusion type rooms perhaps? And are they planning on pulling this structure down and putting up something like a minimall or parkinglot or are they going to reuse this building for something else?

Wow good shot! My first thought was one of the resident managers doing checks, like at night or something. Although I'm sure it wasn't pitch black like this when this place was functioning...

Please don't think me stupid, but is this window boarded over? And the light is leaking in around the gaps? Very strange feeling looking at his.

Hmmm, there must be some master plans for state run places. Something like the Kirkbrides only voide of any apealing elements used in recently (last 20, 30ish years) because this room sans bars on the window from what I can tell looks very much like the resident rooms at the state run rehab center for the blind's old and now disused dorms...

Those slots look like those food ports that thy show in prisons. They can slide the food in or put hand cuffs on somebody? I'm not saying that is what these slots were... Honestly I don't know what those were, ducts for air? But to me that is what I first thought of.

Yay! A new set of pictures!
It is funny... Not two nights ago I was looking at the story linked on the front page "Hell and Back" and I was thinking "I wish Motts had this place up on his site." I love the fact that unlike a lot of sites that have pictures of old disused asylumns, state schools and or hospitals this site comes compleet with discriptions and comments. Very useful to me because I can't always make out the picture with my bad eyes. It s still very interesting to read the discriptions and comments even if you may not always see the pictures. And the picture I am able to make out, which are mostly those of one main object or well light ones I think are very stunning.

I guess that when they transfered the residents from here to where ever it was they wound up it was just much more easy to buy them all new toothbrushes rather than ship all these? Just a thought? Still. Creepy really... AND I'm a bit OCD and very picky about my personal belongings. I would of not done well if I had to give over my toothbrush. To my way of thinking, I would not of been able to abide the idea and very real possibility that my toothbrush was being housed with and possibly dripped upon from other people, (strangers) spitty, drippy toothbrushes. Yuck yuck nastygross! But like I said I'm a bit OCD and germs, especially public strangers germs are a thing with me.

Fan. Collecting. Well I guess you learn something new every day. I'm still shaking my head over this whole section of comments. I had no idea people collected old fans nor did I know that the fan collection world was so lively. Ah well I guess people collecting old fans isn't any stranger than people collecting old cars or TVs or anything else old people collect...

Fan? Collecting? Oh my! This really is the oddest thred yet that I have read. It has got my head spinning round and round. BTW that is a rather creepy fan. I'd bet, if it ran, a lot of dust and crud would billow out... Also the shadow of the blades is a bit strange and unnerving. It looks like it could remove a finger or two, the blades... Nways...

Yeah, what is that sticking out above the window? To me and my shite sight it looked at first glance to be a tree branch, but blowing up the picture to super large showed no trees to which the branch could be attached. So I'm guessing it's some sort of ariel?

Ahh don't ya know? Nearly every state school and hospital has tall fences all round their grounds. This is to keep the nosey ole' public out so that the workers there can abuse the residents! Okay I'm just kidding. Really though, I think a lot of state schools and hospitals have tall fences like this not to torment the people on the inside, just for security measures. I know that the state school for the blind I attended as a child for summer term had a very very tall fence around the grounds and I was freaked out by it and worried a bit as to my fate but it was explained to me that the location of the school was and still is in a very bad neighborhood and it was, the fence I mean, was for security.

Maybe there is another part to these steps, like a platform or slide that has gone missing?
