Front Door

my son and 4 friends went there saturday night. he took my brand new dig camera. they saw some lights on in there also. then they noticed a mattress blocking a window and got spooked. when they turned around in that little circle driveway, the window at the place was now wide open and the mattress was turned at an angle in what they said was mid air. they took pics driving away. when they got home we noticed all the pics had a ton of huge and small orbs everywhere. 2 of the windows in the pics had images of a woman with a v-neck shirt on with her hands and face pressed up against the window (which i agree) and in the 3rd window they seem to believe the image is a man in a wheelchair. I can't 100% verify the images but i know a slew of ORBS when i see them and this place is loaded with them.

Emptiness

Bella

Yes MadMan..SHE does rock. And I am very proud that she had been able to face the memories that she just didnt want to deal with, and was able to sit down and put into words what it was like, for both her ,working here,and the inmates of this place.

Odd Shaped Hall

Bella

The hallway would most likely be a later addition, from the pitch of the wall it seems to be the attic, am I right Mott?, so to conserve space and build more rooms, they followed the rafter angles.

I dont know Motts, why would the homeless want to come to a place where there is so much lingering sadness?

It's so true, in every old abadoned building there will be a chair

Forgive me for putting it this way, but the shot is so amazingly staged it could be used for a "Children of the corn" sequal
