I love your site! All the buildings are intriguing, and your photos are awesome! Have you ever felt a presence at these places? Im sure the Ghost Adventures guy, Zack Bagans would love to explore. Thank you for creating this site. I've enjoyed it a lot.

I work with some of the old residents of this institutions. They have told me some terrible stories of what happend here. And yes all of them have been sterilized.

Hee hee I know Dr. Seidman- he's a brilliant researcher still on staff at MGH.

It would be insanley creepy if the place was haunted and something other than human wrote it

OMG I teach this right now... social pragmatics curriculum baby!

I used to work with autistic children and we uses Applied Behavioral Analysis to teach them, and we used task analysis to teach these self help skills. Kind of a rustic form of the ABA used today but at least someone was actually teaching!!!!!

Beautiful railing. Such a shame to see it crumble like it is.

On the door in the back, the shadow almost resembles a hand.

Have a seat and tell me how you are feeling today.

When I first looked at the glass I thought I saw an angel shape in the glass.

Could've used that chair to push my mom around in after her little accident.

Love the colors.

NIce gallery Motts.

That's one ride I wouldn't want to take.

Paging Dr. McSteamy!

The perfect accessory for any outfit.

it looks like a child holding on to the railing with his right foot up a little

does anyone see what looks like a small figure sitting in the right hand corner of the room by that board propped up against the wall? It looks like a child sitting down with knees up against chest.

The colors are amazing. Love the purple and green.

Both dolls look like they are scared of something. Not happy at all.

if you still go on your horses over the site, i think i may have seen the prints from your horse

i would like you to email me if you can please

thanksss :)

the stair case was destroyed yearrsss ago in a fire, (arson)


been there twice in the past two weeks, less than a year ago, it looked like they was doing work on it, they had fixed the fence around it and had 2 security dogs guarding it


after going there two weeks ago, the fence is once aain broke, the two secutriy huts that were thtere have beeen burnt, a caravan that was also there has been totally burnt

what appears to have happened is that new scafolding was put up, inside and out, and then jsut left

ladders fromthere are all the way up where some old buidlings used to be, some of the scaffolding has been destroyed, and some of the building has decayed even more, so that some of the building work has falled onto some of the scaffoliding and managed to break it

i have pictures , if anyone would like to see then, drop me an email at heather_harvey_@hotmail.co.uk

i still recon bovis ( the people who bought the land and built on it) have installe the scaffolding to make it look like they are doing work on it, and are jsut going to leave it till it is decayed so much they cannot restore it

they have restored the gothic bridge tho - i have pictures of this also


but whilst i was there today, we noticed blue flashing lights

and from across the lake we could see firemen on the scaffolding and 2 fire engines

not sure what they were doing

couldnt tell if there had been a fire there today or not as we couldnt smell any smoke, but the fire could have been out by the time we got there, hopin to go up there soon to see if theres any signs of what went on today

Those of you that are having a fit about the writing on the walls would do well to look into the story behind it before spouting your mouths off. The story written on these walls directly ties to someone that was once a patient kept behind those walls. I think it is a wonderful tribute to her and the other lives ruined there. Would you rather see curse words tagged by vandals?

I have a current update about the hospital property for those that are not from the area. The most recent development agreement has fallen through. It was going to be luxury shopping, condos and a golf course. If there is not something in process by the end of the year, the property is going to have to be turned back over to the state.

WOW you get to shower on Wednesday only it seems. And yeah it was most likely written by a staff member.
