An interesting barrier - it blocked the passage to the rooms at the far end of the hall. I believe it was welded.

Interesting .
Was there a connecting door in the room next to the barrier ? That you could have accessed with a key or something ?

It rusted like everything else - perhaps an additional, post-ward-construction way of segregating the more dangerous patients from the less dangerous ones?

You encounter a lot of these in Silent Hill. It's very frustrating!

Makes one really wonder what was on the other side of that steel door.

Terminator 2! Except the T-100 isn't fitting his gun through those bars.

This is pecular. I wonder why this was welded shut. I wonder what could be in there? Will we ever know?

This one is EXACTLY like in Silent Hill 2. Only one thing is missing - PyramidHead beyond the barrier.

when you encounter a welded door in an abandoned hospital, you don't try to go in, someone went to a lot of work to make sure that you didn't get in, could be anything back there: radioactive material, structual instability, or zombies...there is a welded door like that at the Med State in Waltham before they knocked it down

I worked in that hell-hole from 1971 to 1973. That picture shows a locked gate from the main ward to several "seclusion rooms". When one of the patients started to get rowdy, we would get a group of several (as many as needed) attendents and toss him into the seclusion room and lock him in. It was kind of like soletary in a prison. Usually we would give him a shot of Chlorpromazine in the ass and we would ALWAYS bang his head against the wall on the way in, to reinforce the learning experience.
I don't feel good about this part of my life and I almost never talk about it. It did happen though.

Interesting shot. Zombies, lol. Banging some poor patient's head on the wall just shows how many of the attendents were both ignorant about mental illness and how they often hired real a$$holes.
