does anyone else notice the barbapapa next to the horse? remember those things from the 70's early80's? i was a barbapapa freak when i was a kid but i have to sat its a bit freaky in the setting its in -shudder-

wow i grew up in jersey and used to drive past that place when i was a little kid with my parents on our way south for summers and i used to beg my folks endlessly to go there and had the pleasure of getting 2 or 3 trips there in the early 80's. that place was soooo fun for a little kid and seeing in disrepair is a stramge mixture of reverie and sadness but i thank you again motts for getting beautiful photos of a once grand place to be for a kid.

mr. motts have you ever thought of shooting Taunton state hospital? it's the smaller of the kirkbrides in ma. and i believe it's still standing.just a thought

to Michelle-SHUT UP!!!!!!! that place has been drawing curious people ever since it shut its doors in 92' . i know we all went there and never pissed on anybody's porch or belongings or whatnot,as with any place that holds any attraction to a varied assortment of people DSH is frequented by all types and you have to take the bad with the good,you can look at any number of wilderness paths and see graffiti and bottles strewn about but that doesnt mean that ALL the people out there are littering. DSH should've been maintained and could've remained open so people wouldnt have to sneak in, as i remeber it wasnt all that hard i the 90's to get there you just needed the balls to get thru the wierd mist and the noises, but as it's gotten harder and there are less and less accesible routes into it those who brave the arrests are forced to sneak in however they can,if it bugs you so much i suggest not staying up at night peeking out your window to see if theres anyone there and i also advise not passing judgement on all who do choose to brave the circumstances !
and to salemgirl - look up DSH on google and there are any sites that state the main witch hunter built his home on the hilll where the hospital now stands and the actual hangings were done in danvers , right down the road from the hospital.

well, i guess that answers my last pic's question lol. but, those doll thingees have been in there for years so whoever said that was his work is probably older that he sounds but .....:P

hey motts are the weird-o doll-thingee's still in there?

Wow i c ant believe that place is closed.didnt they used to have concerts there in the early 90's??? it's sad to see a place where so many had sooo much fun turned into a derelict weed farm....
Hey motts do you know anything about the old pier/amusement houses in asbury park,n.j?

They've already torn down the chapel and many of the outer buildings.i remember these tunnels from the few times we snuck in there as teens and i will never forget it.I heard some freaky ass s*** down there. It's haunting just to look at these photos...motts you are the man!

damn thats a sick photo i havent been there since high school in the early 90's and dont ever remember the place seemin like it would be that bad in that short a time. it was always spooky as hell and i remember the run thru the field to get there used to scare me almost as much as getting in did. I wonder tho' how the hell do you get in there in broad daylight motts??? amazing dude good f'in job!!!
