being caught by security would definitely suck. but the consequences couldnt be all that bad, maybe a minor fine at most. Which brings me to my next point; i wonder if he ever been caught

Actually, There really isn't security there. It's really easy to get into also, it's surrounded by huge amounts of wooded areas. There's a government building called AIL that closed a couple of years, it's not too far from Pilgrim, but if you go all the way in the back near this huge wooden tower, you can follow those woods to the doctors old houses. It's a beautiful area.

Unless things have changed recently, Office of Mental Health police do patrol the grounds (as it is still an active state psychiatric hospital), and the scrapper guys who keep an eye on the abandoned buildings do take matters to the police.

Oh yes, OMH Police do patrol all the closed State Hospitals quite frequently. And they do call the local Suffolk Police.

Ooh, scary police presence secretary. I think I'm going to bust into the old place and have my way. We all know you own it, give everyone a break on the threats. The vandals and the interlopers are going to find way of busting in and your ominious attitude would just give me impetus to break in just to bust your balls.

I was just there. I did almost get cought. Ironically the only escape from the police was goin into the building for some reason they dont follow us in. They rather play flashlight games threw the windows. Has anyone seen the dead cat? or the bats?

got caught walking around the grounds last week. the security guard gave me a lot of shit. said he could confiscate my camera and that it is against the law to take pictures on any state hospital grounds.

he wrote down my license plate number.

i went back three days later and took more pics.

I think about that often too Dave> Motts says he uses appropriate masks for aesbestos etc. but I think about all the other ppl. who talk about breaking into these places like it was nothing. There are so many dangers, not to mention it is often private property. I'm not preaching; do what you will - it's just something to think about.

Lead paint is going to hurt you unless you eat it.

Asbestos isn't going to hurt you unless you're tearing through walls or creating a lot of dust that you breathe in.
