Motts, Just found your site while researching Pennhurst (which I grew up "investigating" since it was in my backyard). This is also right down the street from my childhood home, obviously. I noticed that you don't have the farm house that is included on this campus. It's quite amazing, there are a few homes and a large barn full of equipment. We stumbled across it one day and it became my local hang out as a teen. There are some great photo ops there. If you ever find yourself in the area again, feel free to email me for directions copyright1982@gmail.com.

Ahaha, I remember this part of the ride! I thought this was the coolest hauntedhouse ride because at some parts it was like a rollercoaster. I cannot stand WALKING through (amusement) haunted houses!

Reminds me of Stephen King's "The Mangler". The one where that laundry machine was posessed by a demon and went after people.

Salmon Building

Pamela

Whenever I'm heading to Mohegan (right across the river) you can really see how huge the place is. I'm suprised that they built it so close to the water incase someone got loose.

I've always known that men's rooms are not as clean as the lady's room.

Pause

There is a very prominent rumor that when the place was shut down, the patients were released and left to wander the streets of norwich.

I can't believe that it won't be there for much longer! I wish there was some way I could remove the fireplace and transplant it into my house, LoL.

Chair

Pamela

Not sure if this is going to be looked at after so many longwinded posts...

I work as a CNA in a nursing home and It can be really fustrating at times (Thanks Lynne for sticking up for us). Commonly there will be 30 patients on a wing with only two aids and a nurse. It gets hecktic when there are patients trying to stand up by themselves when they are not strong enough. My facility encourages alarms to be placed on wheelchairs and beds (the alarm goes off when theres no contact with the patient). But you get 2 or 3 patients on every wing who forget that they need help and we have to run towards the sound of the alarm every five minutes. What happens when 3 alarms start to go off at once and it takes 1 or 2 minutes to get each person settled down? The nurses will call the patients doctor and if he/she gives the signal then we can put seat belts or lap trays on them (By the way these are our only restraints). Now the patient is safe from hurting his/herself and us aids can tend to the needs of others more thouroughly.

PS - I can just picture that chair roaming around the place at night, looking to see where all it's people went to... ok ok bad thoughts!!! Damn, now I'm gonna have to watch a disney movie to get that image out of my head.

These images are beautifully eerie. You are such a talented photographer. I would love to see more information on the camera settings you used.
Best wishes on a wonderful new year from Austin, Texas.
