It's horrifying and depressing to think of the sad and desperate lives that ended in these crude little chambers.

I dunno, in the case of Byberry, I think the morgue represents some relief from troubled lives.

There were a mutlitude of Autopsies performed there. the Pathologists kept one open for new hires, so the person giving the tour could open it up. A friend hid in there, When she opened it, she made a comment about it being a mistake, but frank sat up. Fanny pulled the sheet off and told him he was an idiot. But the new employees had left the building. One leaving a trail of PEE.

I was here tonight for the first time in years well im 16 but u know what i mean.....upon walkin in here it got very cold and it was creepy we heard church music playing and i was the most scared ive ever been in my life...if you dont believe this place is haunted than you need to go there it is no joke.....we did infact see things that were thought to be wandering spirits it was very freaky

I've been in there before. It scared the hell out of me. I also thought it felt very cold. Not something I want to experience again.

Did a whole report on Byberry/Philadelphia State hospital even spoke with patients, some were my neighbors I lived 10 minutes from there. My aunt was a patient there for 24 years. The abuse she endured was horrific. This picture is so real, in a way that a never thought a picture could be.

i was there and i was wondeirng where this is and what building its in can someone email me info positiveydropped@aol.com

i was wondering if you could tell me where this is i really would like to take a pic of it

Sleepless-
Mister Motts out of habit, professionalism, and his own personal safety. Does not reveal the true locations, how to get there, or how to get into these buildings, on this site.
Please take a moment to read the About section of his website.

My friend Goddog has a "directions" section on his website's home page. Study his site for great info at

Byberry's pretty much destryoed so I hope Lord Motts forgives this faux-pas of his dogma.

omg its so scary

I've been there to again its way better in person

Just think...we'll all eventually end up in a morgue like this...

Whoa. I never knew how close I lived to this place before. I may check it out some time, although I doubt it. I do like to take pictures, and may take some of my own if I decide to go. Even if the pictures are only of the exterior from a far distance. It'll still be nice.
Yeah. Lookit my late-arse comment. x)

wat building is the mourge in?

I love Byberry. Byberrian for life. The pics are awesome.

i've actually never heard of the place....lol the pictures are verry creepy tho^^'

someone (the owner...?) should call in the TAPS team that does that "Ghosthunters" show on SciFi...

here's the website if anyone's interested:

The implosion can't come fast enough! Oh, what a glorious day that will be, to see it all reduced to rubble.

Motts ...dont you find evem more sad that,after the state tossed the people that lived here out into the streets(some of whom had spent there entire lives here) that they died on the sidewalks of Philadelphia? You know Bensalem Police had a (unoffical) policy of bringing "homeless" people back to old lincoln Hwy. and the Blvd. and pointing them "Home" (North ..to southampton Rd)for years. you can still find many "wards of the State" walking around the strets of Philly. They cant bulldoze the place fast enough for me.

the past 7 or 8 times ive been at byberry, we've ended up talking to first timers and all they want to see is the morgue. tourist attraction i say.

Very thought out and excellent work with the camera, Hope we get to see more of these places. Checkout Minnesota sometime.

this is my room all of you fucks better stay the hell out!!!! i used to be able to smoke my self stupid in those drawers until u heartless asshole pulled them apart.

its a shame there knocking th old place down im hoping to get 1 more trip in before its gone

good old "morgoo"

is the morgue still there???

I highly doubt it, but it might still be there. If it is, it won't be there for much longer.

I'm suprised this site doesnt have anything on Mt. Sinai Hospital in South Philadelphia. The hospital has been abandoned since 1997 and I can't find anything on it on the web! I know there going to tear it down soon because the want to make it into condo's but i was wondering if anyone ever stepped foot in that place..i would love to before they distroy it!

Had some crazy ass nights drinkin in here and scaring the shit out of people...lol....
fuckin tourists

Somebody must be really impressed with their own use of "colorful " language.

I wish to visit Byberry but have no idea how to get to it. Could someone please post some directions!

You're too late, Byberry's been gone for over a year now.

I second the Minnesota motion!!

:D :D :D

I heard that there was a man that had been in the hospital still living there. I also heard that he had cut up a girl using a shard of glass and hid her around the campus, and that he sleeps in the morgue. Can anyone verify this story? Has anyone else heard about it??

Ex employee

that, is a story I cannot thank you enough for

pfaahahaa

have any of u actully layed in one of them ?

its not very nice i can tell u that for one

its really sad that someone would graffiti a piece of history come people dont destroy insane asylums there already rottting let them rot in piece

We need more places like Byberry. These people were abused but not in the 70's and 80's. Now they are homeless and the City is overrun by their disease, problems and crimes all due to their "Civil Rights". Now it costs the City a Fortune trying to deal with these crazy homeless people and good citizens are in danger.

sissy - from what I understand, Byberry had abuse going on up until the time that it closed its doors.

You know that everyone calls these a Morgue, but really when you think of it, it's actually a walk in freezer, just like you would see in a restaurant, but with the exception of there being lots or doors on the front, and with pull our tables that the bodies lay on. When you go to your local gas station, or grocery store's freezer section, it looks just like what you see here in the picture, but with big glass doors that you pull open and there's shelves where they place the milk and ice cream on, and if you look straight to the back you can see the rest of the cooler where the shelves are stocked from the back side, so basically a morgue is a modified walk in cooler like exactly what you see in your local neighborhood grocery store, gas station or restaurant. I know because I am a refrigeration repair guy, and have seen many of these.

I've always wandered If when the patients die, do their spirits return as a "normal" person would be where their mental state of mind has disappeared or are they still as they were when they were alive

No one was coming to take them home, poor helpless minds
