Okay, who else wants to give their age away by stating that they, too, once sat their tush in a chair exactly like this one?

Isn't it amazing how many people have posted a comment that has absolutely no important info. whatsoever? It's just a bunch of rambling and silly comments. I know my comment has no significance either, but it does become annoying when people think this website is for silly jokes and useless information.

I'm sure many of the patients consistently felt a storm upon this asylum.

Ever wonder how many people actually were in that tub? Ever wonder how many people actually had an "accident" in that tub?

The door in the background says "keep out" and I certainly would!

Think of all the patients that were involuntarily placed in this tub. Think of all the patients that were placed in here and they didn't even realize it due to their mental state.

I understand that glass windows were needed to keep an eye on patients, however, what a danger that was, as well. It doesn't take much for a patient to slam their fist right through the glass.

Motts and crew: I sincerely hope that you are armed for your own safety when you walk into these abandoned buildings. Your photography is simply phenomenal, but you have to be super careful due to drug attics who will do anything to get their hands on some $$$.

How sad it is to know that what someone once considered important, perhaps even precious, was also considered to be insignificant and worthless by others.

If you want your child to grow up mentally disturbed then simply expose them to clowns.

Gay Pride, how appropriate in a clandestinely way....or not?

Any chance that the boy who allegedly plummeted to his death may have been raped/molested and was about to spill the beans, so he was murdered instead?

The use of freezers/coolers is to aid in slowing down the process of decomposition, but don't be fooled into thinking that the bodies still won't smell. I have never been inside a cooler or been near a freezer that isn't funky and that's considering I have olfactory problems, so I can't pick up smell as acutely as most people. I can only imagine the stench with this kind of freezer.

This pic depicts the freezers in the background as warm, toasty and inviting crematory ovens.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been a "forgotten body" in some of these abandoned places. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bodies that go unclaimed by family and considering that some of these places have left behind a lot of forgotten biohazard stuff, it wouldn't be a surprise to find human remains.

You'd be surprised to know how many embalmers wouldn't mind eating a quick snack in the same room they work in. Of course, they aren't allowed to do so, but who is there to report them?

For those of you contemplating on calling that number (assuming last digit is 0)....don't. You'll only end up disturbing a young man who has now been assigned this number by the phone company, and no, he is not a ghost.

Pardon my ignorance, but why would this building have both an antique wooden wheelchair and a more modern fold up version? Was there a reason to why they kept such old versions of a wheelchair in use?

Fabulous photography! Thank you for providing us with crisp, clean photos. I have visited other sites where so called "ghost hunters" have taken photos, but they all seem to "mysteriously" have orbs and hazy apparitions. Yours, however, didn't. Hmmm....
