Heh , Pass By Here All The Time What I Find Strange Is How Theres A Light Bulb Sticking On Th eWall On A Shack And I Wonder How Is It Still Running.

I think the producers of "Life Without People" would be interested in this place.

The ceiling looks like the bottom of a UFO. Wonder what that light looked like.

I was just about to ask in the last frame how you lasted down here with no breathing protection. Especially when you said the flashlight lit up the spores floating around. Risky at best.

Wow that's cool. I'd have been hard pressed not to just go ahead and open that bottle of fizz. Wonder what's in that box to the left, more booze?

I'm just over 40, been building computers for 20 of them, and even I didn't know what a Telex was until hitting the WiKi. Long story short on this thing: the world's first texting phone. Very interesting.

Nice new photos! Really enjoy your photography

"Get in, Get out" - that's probably what the feller waiting for you to bend over for the soap has on *his* mind....

There was a 1990s US Justice Department study of 15 states that showed 67% of former inmates released from state prison had returned at least once in the following three years. I haven't seen a study about federal inmate statistics. But that number jives with a California study that showed 70% of its state inmates returning in the first three years.

I'd like to know the return rates between first timers, second timers, third timers, and so-on. Many hardened long-term criminals actually feel more secure in jail and do a crime after release to return to what they've known longer: being securely confined than being free with life's risks and trying to cope with the outside world. Sad when you think about it.

I am amazed that the castle has managed to stay in "pretty good" shape for what it has been through...

I envision a Victorian lady sitting here reading a book while watching her children play in the garden...

The fireplace looks dramatically smaller just because the mantel was removed (most likely by salvage thieves). The huge stone support beam in the firebox would have been covered by a heavily carved mantel. I agree with the above comments that most likely a giant mirror was used on the over mantel to reflect large amount of light into this beautiful room. I can see how beautiful it was in my head!

It's broken but it can also be restored. Ive done work like this and that railing could be restored. It is amazing the type of restoration products are out there today...

I can see it now....Wonderful fairy tale castle for sale with beautiful details...slight restoration needed...

If the city does decide to take this building down I hope at least they try to salvage of all the beautiful architectural details it has. I just think its crazy that no one could find a new use for such an amazing building of this quality.

When train travel made you feel like royalty...

Absolutely beautiful..this type of stonework is never seen anymore. As a Historic Preservationist it makes me physically upset that these buildings are left to fall apart...

i am on a psp right now so it takes forever to type anything.i would like to go fishing with you off the back of the boat just as long as you bring the food.

I'm glad you like my drawing.

been there many times. I have had quite a few personal experiences there with cold spots in the main hospital building. As well as sensations of being watched or followed through some of the tunnels. It was a great place to go explore until the security became to tight. Best way to enter [information removed as per site policy].

I drove around it a few months back for the first time, and it was the scariest thing that i have ever seen. I totally felt like I was being watched by someone in the towers. I kept looking through the windows expecting to see a ghost or something. Such a scary place.

Eery that every door is opened to the same exact angle. Did you do that?

Oddly most of the fallout signs I've seen in intact buildings have corroded or worn out to some extent. This looks like nothing has touched it.

Every trip must have the wheelchair. :)

The very familiar lone wheelchair.
