Is it just my eyes playing tricks on me or are all the walls in the photo at different angles?

Sketch...LOL I see what you mean. Not an attractive image at all.

Oh, that's hilarous...and what exactly were they expecting to hear?

(also, correction on my previous post, should be "Kim Carnes' album"- stickler for punctuation and grammar)

Do you wear some kind of mask to cover your mouth and nose in these facilities where there is alot of asbestos?

Ooo, morbid curiousity has been aroused...any working link to this infamous picture?

I'm with the camp that would want to read the diaries out of curiosity. I think it would be fascinating insight to what life was like in an asylum back in those days.

On a side note, I can understand why someone would want to discard an old Kim Carne's album, though. Hehe.

So funny to see how many people don't like clowns and think they are evil...me included :)

Is that bird crap on the pipes and all over the top of that one projector?

This should be called "Going into the light"

It certainly doesn't take long for that paint to come off the walls does it?

Love the picket fence.

Puddleboy,

I'm pretty sure Eagle 106 changed to jazz in late 1995. My friend and I used to listen to that station at work and I clearly remember the announcement of the station change. Weird the things you remember sometimes (like that was important!) I think we went to the Haunted House in '94 though.

So I wonder if the fact that S-10 wasn't abandoned allowed the radio station to hold the Haunted House there.

That haunted house was really fun and very spooky. Though you couldn't really see much of the building because it was so dark in there. I wonder how the radio station got permission to use the facility.

And yes, it was Eagle 106 with John Landers and Danny Bonaduce in the morning (ah the nostalgia). But the Weird USA guy from the link is wrong about the date. It was 1995, not 1985, as I was in Massachusetts during the '80's. Ironically, not far from Northampton State Hospital... the subject of another one of Mr. Motts explorations.

Thanks for the info and for further rekindling the memories everyone!

Just recently discovered this site. Fascinating and beautiful. Question for Radical Ed. I used to live near Philly from '90 to '96 and I'm positive that I attended a haunted house that a local radio station held at Philly State Hospital for a couple of those years on Halloween. Do you remember that? Anyone?
