Do you seriously think a hospital would allow patients to spend hours carving things into a door and then just leave it there? If it were a small amount of writing on a wall, I could see it being missed by staff and maintenance crews. But this is rather significant grafitti that wouldn't go unnoticed.

Doubtful that if this had been carved by an actual patient, it would have been allowed to remain on the wall. Maintenance staff would have been immediately asked to paint/plaster over it.

The font style reminds me of the opening credits of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

When I look at this photo I can almost smell the water...ewww!

I need a tetanus shot!

Were these colors natural, or did you use some sort of filter or editing?

Another great study in contrasting lines and form...and the title is perfect.

Wicked sweet. The B&W is just perfect for the reaching "arms" of the vines.

I love the colors here, and the simplicity of the rectangle shapes contrasted with the rough edge on the bottom of the photo. Actually, it's a great study of contrasts overall, both of color and shape.

That is so awesome...inspiration for a horror story!

I think if it were real, (A) it would likely have been quickly painted over or cleaned up by the staff after being noted in the patient's files.

And (B) writing on a wall doesn't seem to be a very effective way of conveying a message like that; the only people who'd probably see it would be staff.

Then again, without seeing the message in context (like which room it was in, or the presence of the other messages that Motts says he saw), it's difficult for me to figure it out.

I love this...it looks frosted.

There's another word under JERRY, looks like H???NS, his last name.

OMG...I had that same stuffed raccoon when I was a kid!

Actually I still have mine; I don't mean that I owned THIS stuffed animal, but wow. When I saw the photo my jaw dropped and I shouted "Hey! That's my raccoon!" LOL

For what it's worth, I never bonded with him...I thought he was ugly, but because he was given to me by a relative I felt like I had to keep him on display. I still think he's ugly and I'm not sure why I've kept him all these years. I didn't even bother to name him, and I didn't play with him or hold him. I had other animals that I liked a lot better.

Big Brother is watching...

So Motts, what IS that thing sitting in the doorway? I normally don't see the "faces" or "ghosts" that other people claim to see, but it looks like someone sitting on the floor with their legs up. I'm sure you guys don't wear shorts in these places, so do you remember what it was that made that image?

I love the way the light frames the picture.

Now this is a contemplative piece.

Actually...I have a display stand with glass shelves that has the same design as that around the mirror.

Cool. It looks almost as if the stairs go to nowhere, Sarah Winchester-style.

"Nobody gets in to see the Wizard, not nobody, not no how!"

Looks like a poster for a new X-Files movie. Love the wicked green color.

Damn, Motts, you can always make the most mundane objects look interesting.

Really? It reminds me of the afternath of an emotional funeral.

"This has a 'jail cell' look to it. This one may have been an isolation unit. "

Or simply a leftover bed that was stored in an empty room when the facility was being shut down.
