Neat, but sad at the same time.
This reminds me of that wall of pictures in Session 9!
Thats just what I was thinking Janice
Very , Very creepy.
Agreed, Janice.
Oh my, Janice, me too! Those were my thoughts exactly!
All the commenting about Session 9, I'm delighted to report that 1 branch of my regional library system finally has it; just requested that it be sent to the one closest to home for me! These images are so gripping. So glad to find the site back up after slight downtime!
I still have yet to see that film, I became curious after hearing all about it on here. Really enjoying the pics! Very creepy how most of them are split across the faces,
Wow that's so creepy. I wonder what year they were put there.
Yes, Janice, she would.
this picture is way too sad for me
It is really sad. Yikes. I think it affects a person more because it's children. It tends to be easier to turn a blind eye to adults...kids are not so easy to do that with.
The bears...:(
wow.

this is so sad but kind of optimistic looking as well.

i wonder what the person who put these up was thinking??
It's odd how most of the faces have peeled off.

Are these on a wall or a heater?
They were on a radiator.
I just can't imagine living in a place like this 7-24.. how would you ever get out? a system that large would never have time to review how each patient is doing.

is it really true that patients were ummm rented out. the horror stories of sex that are on some of these sites..... I just can't imagine... not even in my night mares.
What a melencholy feel...
I happened to catch Session 9 recently by chance. I tried to watch the credits and see where it was filmed, but must have missed it.It looks a lot like old institutions in Massachusetts. The film also had boston accents. Does anyone know? Thanks
Session 9 was filmed at the old abandoned Danvers State Hospital (near Boston) that closed up in the 1980s.

The complex is now condos. They kept the admin building and part of the Kirkbride and restored it.

Love those Boston accents :-)
Wasn't this school for handicapped children? It's ironic that these little snippets are of perfect, happy children. I once got one of those little bear stickers (bottom left) from the Dentist. It said "I love my teeth".
Art Therapy? Like Danvers?
Glad I came back to the site, its been a little while. This picture really stuck out at me- interesting shot. Old art, (that was obviously put together by hand) always hits a nostalgic cord in me, tragic and obscure.. cool find!
I'm an old montage fan and artist from way back.
I love how the rust looks like blood.
this shot broke my heart...
Janice, I agree it does look like the wall in Session 9.

I imagine this was a art/craft project. It is a little sad to wonder what happened to the child who did this. We can hope for the best.
I like this a lot. It brings some reality to the location... Some personal touches
What's wrong with not being "perfect"? Is it not ok to be crippled?
these were probably put up by a patient. like nursing home patients put up pictures of their kids/grandkids. it is really sad though.
umm isnt there a door in lad school that cannot be opened??
mad ppl are trying to find iht but there to scared to look!
and what are those pics of the children who died in there??
We used to have a pedophile at our long term care facility for the mentally ill that used to collect pictures like this.
What is that in the top left corner???
session 9 art therpy any one want to meet upthere im in newport ri
HA HA HA Time end the kids' life
this stuff ismad creepy and deppressing all of the people that died or killed themselves
I believe those pics maybe be magazine pics--I work with adults with special needs and 90% of the time they hang pics of what they like--celebs, kids, pretty women or handsome men. most of those pics look like they belong in mags and not in a frame. sorry to burst any bubbles!!!
thats so weird, i dont understand why the doctors killed these kids instead of just giving them back to the partents
All I can is wtf? Creepy pictures.
scary!
"its art therapy..."-- Session 9!!!
