Awesome place to shoot a movie. Steven Kings movie 1408 comes to mind.

Looks more like the Overlook Hotel, from
'The Shining' about 75 years later.

Why would the lights be on? You'd think the state would've had the power cut off from there. And nice job with the picture Hallucinator.

It looks like a Japanese munitions bunker in northeast China during the War. The Japanese occupationists built numerous bunkers because the Communist resistance are famous for relying on massed artillery strikes to obliterate distant enemy targets. The Japanese thought bunkers would keep them safe. Well, not really, when shells are fired at such a position that they ascend to the sky, then comes down in a completely vertical path.

I suddenly want to replay Silent Hill 2.... Great shot, though... I'm surprised the electricity still worked!

...or did it?

Erm, wow, I just noticed the bulbs VERSUS the dead lights along the hall... Cripes, I'm overworked! >.<"""

Reminds me of the commercial for Motel 8 " We'll keep the lights on for ya ".

Just as I began really looking at this shot, an ant decided to crawl along my elbow. Combined, an ant and this hallway are terribly chilling.

How is it possible that the lights still work? How long does a lightbulb last, anyways? I can't imagine they would still work after, say, 5 years continiously burning...? Anyone?

Very creepy! So how long do you stay in these places? Hours or Days? Have you ever spent the night at any of the locations?

Usually a few hours, although I've spent quite a few nights inside these places.

Yeah I must say this picture does creep me out some...I can't believe there are lights on period. Strange really. Cue the 'Halloween' music theme please someone. I'd be afraid someone would come out of one of those doors any minute and like scare me to death......what did you say about Waverly Hills, the queen. I thought some lady owned it? So it was sold?? Interesting thats for sure........More info if you have it please.....

its sad that they let the Sterling Hotel fall like that. the city of wilkes-barre should go and fix up the Sterling Hotel instead of sitting around all day. and yea i'm making fun of wilkes-barre but i live here so oh well, everyone can have their opinions....but they do just sit around because so many things here need to be fixed and fixed up and they still have yet to do anything that they said that they would.

I am pretty sure the building is electrified with lights because developers and contractors tour this building occasionally.

Looks like some place a bunch of junkies would end up! Not exactly haunted with ghosts, but haunted with the dreams of what could have been...

Hospital-type institutions do not have carpet (or remains of it) in the halls. BTW, don't know how many people are aware that Waverly Hills is being renovated enough for safety and they keep it for the ghost hunt tours.
