Bones

It's just common practice to avoid numbers of bad omen, even in today's world. My guess would be that there was never a patient #666. Just like buildings missing the 13th floor. (In china it's usually the 4th & 13th floor missing in commercial buildings. 4 sounds like death or die in chinese)

Anyway, sorry to post dribble in an old gallery. Saw the updates, glad you're back!

Gnarled

This set of pictures are my absolute favorite yet! The hallway shots and the stairwells are amazing! The whole set is!
WOW and I say WOW again.
Stunning

Stone and Sky

Joy

You know Pegasus64, from what Motts wrote, "it was briefly used for Nazi propaganda",
The amount of time Hitler used these areas was very minute. Than they were used for various reasons by the average German citizen and I am sure not all of them agreed with everything Hitler was doing.

Archway

Joy

This is definately one of my favorites. To think this once was probably very clean and pristine. Now it looks almost like a cave entrance. Also invokes the "What lies beyond?" question.
A brilliant picture!!!
Thanks

Tight Fit

joy

It definitely looks like an eye in the window...

Smoking Area

Joy

Those really are some high tech portable soap dispensers complete with an on/off switch. Nice to see the evolution of the soap dispenser documented here. These may have even come equipped with a light.

Footsteps

Joy

It's the wheel itself that fascinates me. Doesn't it look like something you'd picture while reading "Journey to the Centre of the Earth"?

Steps

Joy

The circles/transport pads furthers the theory that Motts teleports to these locations.

This is where the Poltergeist clown went to retire.

Alien Light

Joy

The hole in the ceiling was the portal for Motts to get beamed in to the amusement park.

Location: The Enchanted Forest  Gallery: Through the Fog

Mossy Halls

Joy

I wonder what that shelf way up on the first arch was for? It also looks like a fake plant is still hanging on the wall. This was a rare find indeed. No graffiti or vandalism.

Location: Whittingham Hospital  Gallery: Shut In

Quote

joy

i have been there many of times and have seen this quote yet it is whole there is no letters missing.... to me the whole place is a bit odd...

End Of the Wing

Stacy I survived a institution. I visited Letchworth a month ago and felt such a sense of loss. Please let me know more about your brother. Also the burial grounds that are so unkept. Im an artist wishing to do a piece on children in institutions.

Bathtub

Joy

That must be the tiny tub that roams the staircases.

Location: Foxboro State Hospital  Gallery: Transitions

Traction

Joy

I don't have extensive experience with photoshop but cutting something so intricate out seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth. I think the angle of the traction machine made it look off but it looks to me like that that is all it is the odd angle.
