Orchid Lunar Look at how horrible the condition the walls are in.

	Orchid Lunar I agree with Kassie it almost does give one a feeling of vertigo.

	Orchid Lunar That picture gives me such a feeling of loneliness and isolation.

	Orchid Lunar This building is definitely not beautiful like alot of the others on this site.I guess it did serve it's purpose.I can see the draw it would have to explore it though.

	Orchid Lunar No it's definitely not embalming fluid.Embalming fluid is more so truly a liquid in texture,it doesn't have the solid/liquid look of soap.

	Orchid Lunar I have to say ladyhawke is fortunate to have gotten to see this place when it was still open,though in someways I think it truly appears more enchanted now than it probably did while it was still open.

	Orchid Lunar They tried to say it wasn't a horrid place all throughout the lawsuit but I've seen photos that say different and read accounts.I don't think you are lying,I just think maybe you didn't see everything that went on.

Location: Pennhurst State School  Gallery: The Sadness

	Orchid Lunar Well then why was it in Pennhurst and why is it called Pit of Oblivion?Obviously even if she did make it the alligators eating the sheep had some symbolism and I don't think it was the happy kind.By the way know it all it's spelled ridiculous.

	Orchid Lunar Now this one I really do like,you can imagine it as being from a movie with some horrid fanged and clawed thing just leaping out.

	Orchid Lunar It really isn't that bad looking.I've seen shampoo and liquid handsoap that looks similar to that.

Orchid Lunar Always something new and interesting here.This place isn't creepy and doesn't pulse with negative energy like Pennhurst and it doesn't have a fairy tale feel like the enchanted forest but it is a very fascinating building.What I like about this gallery is,is all the close up and personal photos of all sorts of medical/lab equipment.These machines,especially the iron lungs almost take on a life of their own.

	Orchid Lunar Well I take my earlier comment back.Not all of this building looks modern and undamaged.

Location: Linton State Hospital  Gallery: Deep Breaths

	Orchid Lunar It is amazing how modern this place looks and how untouched and unmarred in contrast to most the other places on this site.I mean that looks like it could be a scene from a functioning building today just after closing hours.

	Orchid Lunar I can say I'd probably rather be dead than spend my entire existence hooked to a machine.It's an existence that is not life but not death either.

	Orchid Lunar Alot of things in this building remind you of fifties sci fi films.

	Orchid Lunar I want one of these in my house.

Location: Linton State Hospital  Gallery: Deep Breaths

	Orchid Lunar This whole place has sort of a made scientist feel to it for some reason.

Location: Linton State Hospital  Gallery: Deep Breaths

	Orchid Lunar Those ones look like mosquitoes just as the other ones did.What were they studying I wonder?

Location: Linton State Hospital  Gallery: Deep Breaths

	Orchid Lunar Looks like a mosquito,is it possible they were studying pesticides or mosquito borne diseases?

Location: Linton State Hospital  Gallery: Deep Breaths

	Orchid Lunar I noticed that to!Looks kind of like a Phantom of the Opera mask strangely.

Location: Gravesend Asylum  Gallery: Thorazine Dream

	Orchid Lunar I think for the most part that depends on the graffiti and if it is well done and tasteful.For the most part I side with nin though,the graffiti sort of disturbs the feel of many of these places.

	Orchid Lunar And time is cruel and while it may make things get ugly and decay it also makes these places more beautiful than they once were.

Location: The Enchanted Forest  Gallery: Through the Fog

	Orchid Lunar Now these rooms and the building itself have taken on the insanity and the chaos of the patients who once roamed these halls.

Location: Northwood Asylum  Gallery: Silence

	Orchid Lunar This is one of the most impressive photos on this site.

Location: Cliffside Hospital  Gallery: Secret Things

	Orchid Lunar It is odd how in these places anything can become creepy and disturbing looking,that stencil attests to that.The face looks purely evil.
