I live in the Worcester area and have driven up to look at this. It is as menacing as it looks on film. At night it is eerie, you can almost feel the horror of what happened behind those walls.

Motts you take such amazing photos have you ever done any from the Oregon State Hospital, where they filmed one flew over the Cookoo's nest? I know a big portion of the building has been closed for years, just curious....

Unfortunately no... I hope to get to visit the Salem hospital before it gets razed.

My Dad's sister was confined here. He would go get her on holidays and bring her to our house in Walpole. She couldn't wait to get back there. I always found THAT a little creepy
