Carriage

Maria

I was actually born here in 1963, and am currently doing substantial research about WSH, as I was there for nearly 4 years. Basically, I "grew up" there.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I am particularly interested in the "research" they were doing there, and if there is any evidence any was conducted on babies born there.

Lot

Maria

I am going to college right around the sterling, and the back building is torn down, partially at least, but I have heard that demolition became too expensive, and was stopped. Most of the building still stands. The outside looks almost exactly the same as the pictures. Most buildings in the town of Wilkes-Barre are abandoned.

The sinks with the double faucet heads are very similar to the sinks in my dormitory.

Inside Tunnel

Maria

I grew up on the other side of the mountain that the tunnels are located on. I spent many days exploring the tunnels and separate buildings. I vividly remember walking along the top of the tunnels and also being inside of them and feeling the cool breeze that would come through the small openings along the way. I also remember doing a lot of partying up there as well! As much time as I spent there, I was never quit comfortable. I always felt like I was being watched and I don't mean by animals! We used to find ammuniton shells around in the 80's, but the last time I was up there, not much was left.

Wires and the Hospital

It does kind of look disconnected from everything. It gives me a feeling of despair.

In Europe every cigarette thingie has that advertisment. It must have it, otherwise it's illegal. The advertisment usually says things like "Smoking Kills" or "Smoking causes impotence". Quite stupid actually..
