went there a few days ago with a friend of mine. We got into one building but it was really trashed inside. The sun was going down and we didn't get to see much. I did see a few old patient charts with pictures on them, which were really neat. I also found some old boxes of magazines and clothing. It's like the place that time forgot. There was a raccoon hanging out of one of the third floor windows giving us dirty looks and that was the scariest thing that took place. Also it looks like people party/squat there. I was afraid of running into a crack head or a homeless person but I def have the itch to go back again!

That looks like its in good condition....crazy pic

I'm actually going there tomorrow, but the pictures help me not freak out as much as I did yesterday when all we did was stand outside. Did anyone else notice theres like a bed next to the stage though?

The tree branches are in the shape of a heart! I know; it's a little silly that that's the first thing I noticed.

Great gallery. Can't wait for your next one!

im from sycamore,
they really got discarded? the records? ugh that is soooo stupid like a comment i read above the records of people related should get the records if they don't want them make an exhibit on it lots of people would love to read/see what happened to these people and what happened in the asylums. i would like to go visit one but most have been demolished.

Wow. You would have to have a pretty small figure to get into those seats!

This place is beautiful! and it is in pretty good shape.

I can't believe they are still so neat like that.

Would love to have this in my ktichen!

I agree it looks like low income apartments today.

Too bad they are exposed, it would be awesome to see what was on them!

Motts; Live in Weston, WV and we have an old state hospital here in town. Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. It sat vacant for years, but now they are finally doing some restoration, and they also do tours. I was just wondering if you have ever been there?

great barr hall is beautiful

EEEEEK!!!!

someone told me a story about a little boy being thrown off the top of the tower or something similar to that.

haha a few of my friends wrote their names on there ; brigman

theres a reflection in the right door. looks like a little girl

its hard to catch the ghosts and reflections. i was there today with some friends and its hard to capture the reflections.

ooohhhh theres like some shadowyness by the windows. thats cool!

i have no life. im examining these photos so carefully to look for shadow figures or ghosts. the light in this picture is cool.

am i seeing things or can you see like kids or some kind of person if you look way in the back???

Beckky is right. There is some kind of smoke by the right side of the window. Creepy much?

I saw that. It was amazing but when I was there I saw someone sitting there. It was awesome but I didnt have a camera so I couldnt take a picture

I agree with metallic kitty. It looks like she's sitting by a window with her hand on it looking out.

Am I the only person who sees like ghost reflections in the mirror? There's a few. There's one that looks like a screaming face. They're too big to be the face of the photographer so don't say that'a what it is.
