The Narrows

This angle makes me feel like I'm leaning sideways...I like it

This reminders me of a photograph I took today in a hangar from WWII.

Yes, I love the angle this photo was taken. Gives that view of being in a horror film...running down the hall...in fear of what's chasing you from behind...trying to make it to that open door. The narrow passage makes the viewer feel entrapped.

man i went to this place last night and almost shit my pants. This SHIT AINT NO JOKE!!!!! You better be careful if you go and bring extra underwear.

I, personally can't find anything scary about Glenndale, but you should be careful.
My weird Glenndale story is the the same transient asked me for a cigarette twice, once last august and once about 2 months ago. Freaky

Oh wow, that is freaky! Were you scared?

naw, most "bums"(I hate using that term) are fairly cool, they are just like you or me but without the money.
The cool thing was that he remembered me before I said anything to him.

Wow, this picture is giving me vertigo, or the bends!

what did he look like, when was this

Holy crap. That makes me claustrophobic just looking at it. I can't imagine having to walk down that hallway every day. Waaaaaay too narrow for my liking.

I've been in every building at the place, but the Narrows is by far one of the spookiest places to walk through. For one, the windows on the right look down on the Police trailor; so in the daytime you have to almost crawl. The doors on the left are medical supply rooms, with large glass cabinents and some lockers. Once, we broke an old padlock on the locker open, and inside were several patient smocks, with "Glenn Dale Hospital" and some numbers stamped on the front. It was freaky. Also, you can find old needles, test tubes, pills, etc on the floor. Definately one of the most unnerving parts of the hospital.

man that is feakin sweet

This place Reminds me alot Of something from silent hill.

it gives me the creeps it is like a horror movie

hold on "bums" sleep in glendale!? they got some balls

About the guy who asked someone for a cig...depending on where you were it might not be a "bum", I've lived in Glenn Dale for 22 years, there's a guy who lives on or near Elm Street (right by the hospital) who askes EVERYONE, even cars driving by for cigs, but he's no bum. I don't know how this pic looks scarry to people when its daylight out?

have you ever been in the bacement?
i read a book that sayed that if you do go down there turn off you flash light

Do the bums realize the place is riddled with asbestos? That's why they finally closed the place cuz everyone was getting sick...

So why would anyone turn off their flashlight when they go in the basement? So they can fall in the well?

Watch your head.....

Well, I have often thought how cool it would be to explore abandoned sites such as this one (with a burly and brave companion, of course)...but after the mention that there is asbestos, I don't know how wise a thing that would be to do... Still, IF those walls could talk... THAT is what appeals to me the most about any abandoned structure: the HISTORY and the people that came and went through there. Sadly, in a sanitorium such as this, many folks who ended up there didn't leave alive, I imagine (especially the children). Personally, my mother told me that I had a mild case of Tuberculosis as an infant... glad I survived...

some friends and i went last night and it is definitely NOT worth going to. sure it's scary as hell, but so not worth the trespassing charge all 15 of us got when the cops caught us. =/

omg this pic is sooooo scary
CC-wow nobody ever gets caught for trespassing in abanded places any more wow

How in the world you got into this place is beyond me. I lived in that area for about 25 years and I know the security that surrounded this place. Asbestos, I've heard, was terrible in these buildings.
Wonderful photographs. I'm glad I got a glimpse of what it looks like in these buildings after 30 years of wondering...Let alone not having the balls, *ahem I mean, guts to go in these places.

About 13 years ago my ex husband and about 10 friends went up there on about different occasions. The place itself has many storys to tell. Broken dolls and bottles on the floor. Old bed frames still in some of the rooms. Alot of graffiti on the walls from passerbyers. The place had a reched smell to it. I was there during the day. Have many pics from it and it wasnt bad at all or creepy. But once enetered at night the whole scene changes within u. There are sounds u cant explain, cold spots and whispers. Once again it could just be wind blowing through cracks and rats or bats throughout the halls echoing but i think theres alot more there than has ever been told. A friend of mines reletive died there during the tuberculosis era and claimed of the abuse and torturing that went on there. Not only to patients but also to nurses. Her family members thought she was just losing her mind due to the illness but there was many claims of these incidents. Nurses commited suicide and so did patients. Body remains were destroyed in the incinertor. But I do not personally know if any of this is real.
