OK, THIS IS LIKE...REALLY GROSS AND STUFF.
What is that....? Is it blood?
Nah, when blood dries it gets a really dark red/brown/blackish color. These are most likely rust stains.
Still looks pretty psycho
!!!!COOL!!!!
Yeah, but what the heck is that cord thing?
It's my tail.
LMAO!

If someone were to plug it into a wall outlet would your eyes light up ;-)
~Me,

I dunno - where's the forked end? ;-)
rich,

I believe that if you plugged ~Me into just about anything her eyes would light up. ;-)
Oh my lol my sides ache....
I ain't telling!
It's a computer /telephone cable. 25 pair to a
Centronics 50 pin connector. Typically used for
telephony, but can be used for computers.
And there goes MrLou killing the joke. (I'm kidding.........................nice info?) :-)
True, but I wanted to know. Thank you MrLou.
P.S. - but it still "plugs" into things, ~Me! Don't be too disappointed! ; - )
It's very likely rust. Metal furnishings were used as much as possible to reduce fire risk. Chairs and desks in offices were usually metal, there were metal grates over every window and over radiators. The building leaked constantly from rain and old plumbing.
Looks like some Silent Hill type backgrounds
The cord thing looks like a call button I work in a nursing home lol
the cord thing is a pulse ox monitor that attaches to ur finger to see the percent of O2 in the blood
oh sh***
Ah, the red, gold and crystal being embraced by the serpent.
FUNGUS, or mould, maybe, whatever it is it's not nice
It looks like a murder scene.
Motts you really need to describe what this is. I can't even tell if its a floor or a wall etc. and don't say use your imagination! =p
i think a scarey movie took place there- surprise surprise!
what if its just a cord with masking tape wrapped around it,what if back then 2 cors were attached together.
makes you wonder if the finger is still inside of that thing
its a rust stain it happens when condensation collects on ironwork and drips on the floor
I deffinately think its a pulse oximetry monitor.
That really is gross!
Great photo
thats rust as a matter of fact, after it rains its every where all over the floors

Whoa, Quake 3
Iron oxide is the best confusing color out there!
In biology, detritus is non-living particulate organic material (as opposed to dissolved organic material). It typically includes the bodies of dead organisms or fragments of organisms or faecal material. Detritus is normally colonised by communities of microorganisms which act to decompose (or remineralize) the material
I do think some of it is blood though?
Looks pretty cool to me!
Dead blood? o.o Weird. Im confused.
IT'S RUST, PEOPLE! JUST RUST! trust meh...
Did they use this as the hospital set is Silent Hill??
Sorry i ment Did they use this as the hospital set in Silent Hill?
Defo rust..Most of it is made out of metal.Also all the rot falling down and rain comeing in.
