I love this shot.

However, I admit that after having taken the laundry out of laundry bags many a night at an institution (helping third shift fold laundry while doing in-service training) I would definitely NOT be waiting in an expectant manner for what comes out of the old laundry chute.

I agree, this definitely makes me think. I hope whoever had the job of watching the laundry brought along a book or something.

It's not creepy like your other chair shots...but it has a touch of humor to it which is just as cool. Sitting and waiting...great shot.

I know they probably had a bag under the chute, but doesn't it look like they paid some poor schmuck to wait and catch the incoming? (Eww!!! soiled again!)

Imagine sitting there, not knowing that the chute is open, just about to doze off and then a huge load of laundry falls on you. LOL

Meh heh heh, you're waiting for the laundry, when all of a sudden, when least expect it, a decapitated head comes barreling towards you!

interesting that chair is still there, friends of mine and I used to frequent the dever school on many occasions about 5 years ago. There used to be laundry in that shute till we pulled it out and someone decided to try and climb up in there. Not a very wise decision i might add. Thank you for this site and making remember my experiences in this very haunted, sad place

For some reason, when I first saw this shot, I thought of something getting sucked up the chute ala bank drive through mode. Maybe I just have some odd reverse thought process. It's an amazing shot. Looks really welcoming and comforting to me for some reason... I can't explain it.

It's almost like whomever was sitting there got fed up, opened the hatch, and simply crawled in.

They used to tie people to that chair and make them smell the dirty socks that came through the chute....

Abominable.

:P

Wonder where those chutes lead to? That would be crazy if some buffoon went to an upper floor and rode the chute down! Hopefully there would be something soft waiting for them at the bottom LOL
