One round of prayers from Virginia coming right up! Here's to a quick return for Mr. Motts. We are all thinking of him.

@Eldokid....I wish he would post something too just to ease everyone's mind. I guess all we can do is pray that he is okay and just busy...and nothing bad has happened to him.

Is there any books I can purchase from you that's got the majority of your best stuff in it? If so, How many Volumes and how much would they cost.

Thank you.

I am...

Well said, Toot! The thing that I wonder about is why Mr. Motts just doesn't post something as an update that he is alive and well, just busy, but the web site is far from abandoned or dead. If he did that, it would stop all the rumors. If he IS in some trouble to the point he CAN'T post, then I suppose we'll just have to wait. But I do think that we should stop speculating. I can't find anything anywhere about him being arrested so in my mind I'm just going to chalk it up to the fact he's preoccupied and will eventually come home to Opacity.

I've been on this website for years. I love it. Nothing is more interesting than the idea of history inside of something as simple as architecture. And the idea of time in the form of decay. Such an interesting place to spend some downtime!

I see nothing legitimate about this crap that is being posted. The Chateau d'If Marseille Prison has not been used as a prison since the end of the 19th century so good luck with that. Motts posted that he had a lot going on - he said some good and some not so good. So why does that give license to everyone to come up with these bizarre stories and garbage? None of us know what is going on with Motts - only he knows and stupid posts like the ones on here are probably the reason why he doesn't say a word about anything! Please think before you post - people can get hurt with rumors like this.

Enough with the baloney people! Yes Mr. Motts is having some legal issues abroad but he did not commit suicide in a French prison for crying out loud! Shame on you whoever you are! I think it would show a great deal of respect for Mr. Motts to drop the conversation altogether, lest the facts become grossly exaggerated.

Cynthia, if you read over the "About" section as well as other pages here, it states that the location of some sites are not given out on purpose. That's why some of the place names are not the actual names, but fictitious ones to also prevent the disclosure of location. It's done on purpose to prevent hundreds of people from visiting them and possibly getting in trouble. All that said, there are subtle hints and if you compare some of the photos with other web sites like this one, sometimes you can figure out the real name and location. I have found photos on other sites that resenble ones here and those other web sites list the actual place name. I believe Mr. Motts does this for liability reasons so if someone trespasses and gets arrested, they can't say they got the location information from this web site. Wise and makes sense to me.

A friend who is interested in shall we say, " Old Things" sent me your link. The pictures of The Rookery are really quite impressive ! The only problem is you do not seem to list locatio ? I know of a deserted cememtery in Newark, New Jersey in the Central Ward & cannot figure out if your is the same one ? Is this on purpose ?
Thank you.

This website has gotten me through many night shifts at work. I too cannot find anything on Mr. Motts whereabouts on the internet and the linked articles sure don't help. I sure hope all is going well with him and wish a speedy return. We need some more pics. We're thinking of you Mr. Motts!

Candace, did you actually read that article? I have several times and it does not mention anything about Motts being arrested. It has some quotes from him, mentions this site and his name is in the keywords at the bottom. Unless I'm missing something this doesn't say anything about his whereabouts.

eldokid@aol.com

yes, why can't we find anything in the news about this? I searched and searched and can not come up wtih anything to confirm this.

Well ,Alessandra's italian sounds fake to me, because is sloppy and not grammaticaly correct., a google translation perhaps. I hope to have some real news about Mr Motts sooner or later instead of stupid pranks...

Another troll, geeze folks do a google. Chateau d'If Marseille prison stopped being a prison in 1890.

WHAT!!! I just translated the message below on google. It's Italian. I hope for Motts' sake this is a joke:

My name is Alessandra Giarelli. I am a long time fan of Opacity. Thomas
Kirsch, also called Mr. Motts by his fans and followers, committed
suicide by strangulation while being detained at Chateau d'If Marseille
Prison in France. He was arrested by Italian police in Genoa who
surrendered him to the authorities in Marseille, France where he was
accused of beating and sexually assaulting an undetermined number of
young prostitutes. French authorities are trying everything to circumvent
this information and keep details concerning this incident from reaching
the media. He died December 3, 2012. This is a great loss for the urban
exploration movement and the world itself. Rest in peace Mr. Motts.

Do you have any more information Allesandra? Maybe an email or other means of contacting you?

Alessandra Giarelli

Il mio nome è Alessandra Giarelli. Io sono un fan di vecchia data di Opacity.us. Thomas Kirsch, chiamato anche Mr. Motts dai suoi fan e seguaci, si suicidò strangolamento mentre è detenuto nel carcere di Chateau d'If di Marsiglia in Francia. E 'stato arrestato dalla polizia italiana a Genova che lo ha consegnato alle autorità a Marsiglia, Francia, dove è stato accusato di aver picchiato e aggredito sessualmente un numero indeterminato di giovani prostitute. Autorità francesi stanno cercando di tutto per aggirare queste informazioni e conserva i dati riguardanti questo incidente di raggiungere i mezzi di comunicazione. Morì 3 dicembre 2012. Questa è una grande perdita per il movimento di esplorazione urbana e il mondo stesso. Riposa in pace il Mr. Motts.

Hey Toot, yeah the thug is still posting stupid crap, and that's what makes me wonder about Mr. Motts. I'm sure if he was monitoring his site, he would stop those nonsense postings. They're annoying if not anything else, and make me wonder about people that have nothing better to do. Idiots.

Eldokid I too read that article and see nothing relating to whereabouts of our fearless leader. In the tags at the bottom and that is it.

I see the neighborhood illiterate thug is still hanging around.

Did you read this article? I did twice and I don't see any mention of Mr. Motts "whereabouts" - it only mentions him down below in the search engine tags - so unless I am missing something, this doesn't say much of anything.

How ironic, this website is now abandoned by it's owner. We can't do anything but explore. Unfortunately taggers have found the place already (see the spam!).
