As klutzy as I am, I can see myself at the bottom of these puppies, and it ain't a pretty mental sight.

Oh child, we'd rush down and pick you up, give you a tetanus shot, and get you to an asbestos clinic if that happened. :-)

All the buildings are filled with stairs like this. I remember waiting at the foor of stairs just like this holding my mothers hand waiting for my brother to come down. Strange how thease memories enter my mind, some of them are wonderfull, others I would rather not have.

I don't know if it's because of the camera angle you chose or what, but this staircase looks very steep. I'd grab onto the railing and hold tight, even if I wasn't planning on walking down the stairs.

Twug, if you hed indeed fell down those very steep steps, after getting your shot, they could just leave you in one of the many rooms of the the hospital, with it's many huanting spirits to keep you company.

It really would never happen. I'm too much of a chicken to go in any buildings like that. I went into an abandoned house once, and it was a disturbing experience. I let Motts go in the buildings and I look at his wonderful pics.

i agree with you there, about the abndoned houses being disturbing, just by your self and the floors creaking like mad....

A thought just hit me, the "old man's face" looks like it could be a page from a magazine, book, or mabey the remains of a photograph. I do belive that ghosts do exist, but I have never seen a pic of a ghost where the face looked so sharp and lifelike. That's the only thing I can think of.
