martin Hi, I am an illustrator born and bred in Denbigh. You have some great photographs here, especially the ones of the Hospital. When did you go there? There has been a programme shot there in 2008, it was a 'most haunted ' week long special and about a week after they had finished filming there was a massive fire there, spooky or what?

	Martin I still own a wheelchair similar to this one. Had a ton-o-fun carting girls around the college campus in it!! Always a topic of conversation. I'm now thinking of selling it. Giddy-up! Interested buyers in US (near Chicago): mmcclure@gmx.de

	Martin I work here as a recreation therapist for the past 3 months,, so far nothing too haunted looking or sounding in the active wards that are being used. Cool place to work b/c of it's amazing hsitoric value.

	Martin I work at Pilgrom now, it's a really cool experience to be working in a place where there's such an amazing history. It's an eerie but cool feeling to be where so much has happened in the past. Kinda spooky to think of the loss of life and agony that took place here. I'm proud to work at PPC, it's a place of history

	Martin It's incredible... I'm trying to imagine how the very last day of ordinary activity seemed... And what happened next? They just turned off lights, locked everything and went together away?? Or was there the last working unit, performing as usual in more and more empty complex?
