Ever heard "In Old Yellowcake" by Rasputina..?

but the trim is lilac purple

hmmmm that might be the pink in my bedroom

ooooo I like that yellow, where can I get paint like that? Am I crazy? Yup, certifiable... and I have the papers to prove it!

HEY that is the peach that i have as trim in my institutional green bathroom!!!! Or at least pretty darn close lol.

yes I would paint a room this color again lol

lol I think that is the same color I painted my bathroom. I'm serious exactly that shade and painted the molding light peach/coral. I saw this color green in the discounted paint rack at the local home improvement store and really, really liked it. I must be pretty strange.

looks like something a skateboarder dreams about.

definately looks like a soap dispenser possibly for powder soap? I've seen one before like that, u push it up to get the soap out so the soap must be a thin liquid or powder. BTW that's an unbroken light bulb on the floor.

yes finding it in an asylum like this is pretty creepy. Was it for the pedophiles that like to look at little boys?

i have one just like that just a little shorter that I bought at an antique store to put my 18th century clothing for reenactments when I'm not using them. I used to bring the whole thing to put in my tent during overnight encampments

looks like the cat was living up above on the table or at least using the table as a litter box and died suddenly, falling into the drawer causing it to be upside down. That would explain the position of the head if the cat fell in head first. It is obvious the cat was living there for some time. It was probably a feral or maybe the pet of the resident. Most likely a feral that met a natural end and was later contorted when the tendons dried. Another explaination for the open mouth is that the cat had a sudden heart attack and died with it's mouth open a bit and then later the drying process took over. I find it highly unlikely the cat died with the mouth open that wide. Remember rigor doesn't set in right away so the muscles do have a chance to relax a bit before and the body goes limp. I bet this is when the cat fell into the drawer. Ever seen the mummies that look like they are screaming but is just the results of natural mummification?

suits for burial of residents?

I hate to tell you this but ECT is still in use. Though it might be a little different than it was before. The patients are under sedation or anestesia during the proceedure and are given muscle relaxants. Their brains are then zapped into convulsions. I have a few friends that have had this sort of treatment. While it is used when medications fail, it actually can be effective but can cause memory loss. They don't just get the treatment once it is a series of treatments before it is complete. Might actually be the one treatment that did have some theraputic benefit but was used far too often and inhumanely at first without anestesia or muscle relaxants.

the picture of the clocktower in silhouette is so creepy....I can hear the "Psycho" music in the background!!!!

What exactly was this facility used for? I know only that it was some sort of hospital for the mentally ill.

it looks so lonely

looks like something or someone could be watching from the windows. spooky picture

looks like some kind of medieval fortress or something. scary
