Humid

I know I have a vivid imagination sometimes;-),but what is it just above the ground,beneath the boarded window to the right in the picture?Looks like faces(I know it's probably rust or something)peering out :-P

Bed of Straw

I don't like hospitals,they give me the creeps...okay,people are born in them too,but it's always death that comes to mind when I visit one...

Patient Belongings

cecilia

This gallery alone is the best tribute anyone could wish for.Giving other people the opportunity to snoop in the belongings of others isn't a tribute.So I think Mott's right not to display them.

The evil clown from "It".

Paperwork

cecilia

Incredibly disrespectful to leave records scattered and lying around like this...don't know how old these papers are but some of the people mentioned in them might be alive!

Could very well be the gateway to hell...

Medical Underpass

Particularly the 50`s strikes me as a fascist decade sometimes,nothing was allowed to flaw the "perfect" facade,which I guess was one of the reasons parents left their children at horror places like Pennhurst.I hope we have learned something since then.

Patient Tunnel

Looks like a nightmare corridor from some horror video game.

Wheelchair

As Pjrichard asks,I wonder too why they leave all the inventories behind.It's,in a way,disrespectful,at least if patient's names are still present on records.Here in Europe,modern ruins are rare(abandoned building are torn down),so this is fairly new to me,even if I have been looking around for ruins here to photograph.Fascinating and important pieces of modern history,but very tragic.
I must compliment Mott too for great pictures and a respecful approach.

Very sad and tragic picture;makes me wonder more than ever what happened to the children who lived here.
