What kind of camera took that picture? it's breathtaking.

Not that I want to burst your bubble, but when living beings die, they begin to lose moisture and rot. At some point during the process, the skin and tissues recede, which is why people used to believe that hair and nails and teeth grew after death, because they actually just became more visible.

Fantastic pictures. I've seen Ladd School, but only in the dark. it was refreshing to see it from someone else's point of view. it's too bad you couldn't have caught other buildings on film like gym which was probably the creepiest building before they tore it down. Very nice work.

How long ago were these pictures taken? They are very good but these buildings look like they are in much better condition than when I was there 2 years ago. When I went in the fogarty building it looked and felt like it would fall down on our heads any minute.

the autoposy room is down the hall to the right

i am waiting for a ghost to come up the stairs!

i am waiting for something to pop out of that door or a face to appear in one of the windows. the exit sign seems like its the ghosts telling us to leave! scarrry!!!

very creepy looking

i've been there and it's kinda freaky if your drunk.

I grew up in the area and used to go a lot around 1995. I never knew the history of until now (thanks to the www!). Everything looked so differnt, I though I was in the wrong place because of the widening of the rodes and the new houses in the area. There is a website that tells what the state is planning on doing with land. A hearing was held in May.

I see it, looks llike a head and shoulders just above the line on the wooden partition. Some of these pics are REAL creepy. Esp. the creepy shadows

no mental hospital is complete without one of those. the one i found was hanging upside down in a tunnel.

This is grafitti left by a movie company that rented the space after the state closed the facility. It was a small independent film called "Zoo". They were allowed to use the space and left a mess in several locations - this is what ruins it for others.

This is part of a movie set, left by people who paid to use space after the place was closed. It was for an independent film called "Zoo". They also left a lot of grafitti. This has nothing to do with the psych center operations...
