This picture creeps me to the core. What gets me the most is that alot of these pictures that you have taken haunt my dreams before i even found this site.

Prison cell, bedroom, all the same thing in the eyes of the state.

To Heather- it's probably just some rust water running down the "window" frame, there are places in Brooklyn where there are a lot of rusted fire escapes on apartment buildings, after a rain, the ground below them looks like a murder scene! It is nothing to worry about.

It's blood, blood, OMG it's blood!!! :D J/K Lynne...

To set the record straight, rust does run like this if it gets mixed in with water. Use your brain for a second: why would it possibly be blood? Let's assume the staff abused a patient here. Why would they leave proof? Unless it was the very last day this building was used, it would have been washed off. In addition, if it was blood, you wouldn't be able to still see it. by now it would have seperated into its components and decomposed. In other words, blood this old wouldn't be visible...

That is not in all cases though Sketch, there is a house in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where a young woman was killed instantly by a Confederate sniper's bullet during the battle on July 3rd, 1863, her blood is still visible on the pantry walls where the massive .454 bullet terminated her on that fateful day. (it was an accidental shot, the sniper was actually aiming for a squad of officers behind the house, probably set the sights on his rifle too low or high)

(I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm truly curious) Have they proven that it was blood? I just want to make sure it isn't a myth/legend before getting my hopes up...

You are right, however, that not all blood stains will decompose. I read that it might have to do with the type of blood it is (A or B or whatever), but there wasn't enough proof either way... Mainly I was worried about people injecting something sinister where there isn't.

Yeah, I haven't been to Gettysburg, but heard plenty of stories about phantom black dogs that were sighted, other weird happenings such as unusually ferocious thunderstorms, probably the reason why her blood is preserved is the building material on the walls, maybe the acids or compounds in the mortar were able to create some sort of "binding action".
This is interesting to investigate though, it almost borders on the paranormal.

Wasn't she the only civilian killed in the war or something?
(never mind me, my parents took me on a "Civil War" themed vacation...yeah)

In this case, it really looks like rust water...

I've been to Gettysburg, but I didn't get a chance to see the house you're talking about. If you just sit there and close your eyes out on the plain you can forget about all the blood shed there. Very peaceful place! And no, I didn't see any ghosts, but I did get a few strange pictures...

Her name was Jenny Wade, and she was baking bread in a kitchen in the middle of a battle.

Yeah, I think thats her name, and she was the only civilian killed in the war, but someone once said a lady named Judith Henry and her two sons died during the Battle of Manassas, the first one, when a shell burst in their cabin on a hill. Something like that. Old records are so hard to prove, even with ultra modern forensics!

and its stinkey and dusty so i always need a broom

so please oh please come in my room its so locked up its like a tomb

then we can be locked up together

i just made that up

We had the same tile on the walls of the bathrooms at the elementary school I went to. Didn't like it them, don't like it know. For some reason they can make a totally open and spacious room seem like a tiny closet. It wasn't a very "healing" color.

Not to drag up old threads, or subjects, but, there were also spectators at the civil war. People would come out to some of the battles with picnic baskets and make a lunch of it. I always thought this was interesting, I never thought of war as a "spectator sport"

Jenny Wade was the only NORTHERN civilian killed in the civil war. There were many who died directly or indirectly becuase of war in the south. In Vicksburg there was a baby put near the entrance of a cave (to get air) where people had gone for shelter during the seige who was crushed by a cannon ball.

Jenny Wade was the only civilian at Gettysburg killed. Many other civilians were killed in raids by conferderate irregulars, even close to the Canadian border
