Wicked looking thing!
I think Austin Powers had one of those in the first movie.
Thanks Bane
This instantly gave me the chills! I wonder what the function of such an apparatus is?...
that really sucks :)
I GUESS IT WAS USED TO EMPTY THE STOMACH CONTENTS.
it looks like a thing to put embalming fluid into the body or something
WOW!!!!! THAT IS SOME SKETCHY SHIT!!!!!!
This whole place is disturbing isn't it.........
just looks like a larger bore suction tube.....albeit with a massive attachment!
It looks like a soap dispenser.
Gotta be a soap dispenser.
It looks like a mortician's aspirator, which I do believe can be used to both suck fluids out 0f a body as well as put them it (think formaldehyde).
after looking through all of these, serious question....
What Happened to this place? why were the inhabitants so quick to skat and leave all the stuff behind. Was there an attempt to sell it or did they just get out?
JT is on the money with the morticians aspirator. typically attached to the neck below the ear, at the carotid artery. good job.
Guess it sucked it last suck !
The entire building was eventually stripped of pretty much everything between 2007 and 2008, except for the gurneys in the basement cooler.
Hey Ludlum,
I think this happened at a lot of places. I myself live next to the former Northampton State Hospital; from what I understand, people that worked in the Kirkbride section of it went to work one day and were then told that it would be their last day!
From what I've been told folks pretty much just dropped what they did and left, which would correspond with what I saw in there.
I wonder why.
