Past the Caution Tape

Past the Caution Tape

I was gonna turn back, I mean the caution tape was pretty intimidating, but I didn't want to look like a chickenshit in front of everyone else. 8]

Oh sure, Motts, you're shrinking violet! LOL!
Wow, lots of traffic in there!
Oh my god!! watch for the dammed walking the halls looking for a soul to posses, and oh yea! look behind you.
ZOMBIES!!
Could someone tell me if this was once the
Rehab. dept?
Motts do you see many other people in the places you visit? or is this a once off, or are these just you're friends and i'm a gullible little bastard
This was from one of our little super secret underground meetings where a bunch of exploring types get together and check out some neat places in the area.
really?...wow...like fight club only not
so do they get permisson to go in there? JW because there is so many of them
Wow look at all the people wanting to say farewell.
was the atpe for the other side that we can not see, or were you being a rebell????
I was standing near a floor weakened by water damage. Now most of it has collapsed down onto the floor below.
I have a good picture of me and my friends making torches for light in the basement :)

How do you get permission to explore the grounds

Thank you
I don't think you can get permission, as it is an active construction site.
How do people get in
I do not want to cause destruction just explore
That topic won't be discussed on this website, sorry.
I love this shot Motts, and the funny caption.
i live so close. i was inside like 5 yrs ago in highschool. now i go to umass and im even closer. went there last night for the first time in a while all drunk but couldnt find an entrance :(
OK. This pic was obviously taken in the daytime withought benefit of the fluorescent lighing. How did they illuminate it in 1856? Did they have gas lights, or kerosene lanterns or candles everywhere?
There are too many people in this hallway.



Oh my GOD ! ! ! Dare I say it ? ! ? !



Is this photograph "The Shape of Things to Come" ?

Is this photograph a celluloid procognition of a future yet to arrive ?


This is the possible future >>>

The Men and Women who are the "modern day pioneers of Urban Exploration today" will someday become the "tour guides of Urban Exploration tomorrow".

And that will be a sad day indeed ! ! !

All of the excitement, danger, dirt and grit of going thru an old abandoned building will be replaced with the safe, clean, boring, dull and drab "state" of a walking tour.

Who knows; maybe Disneyland or KnottsBerry Farm will train people on how to give "walking tours" of old abandoned buildings.

And won't that be pathetic ! ! !

They will probably even charge admission and everything. Why, they might even have an "E - ticket ride". Well, wouldn't that be nice. The patron might even have to sign a waiver form so the company will not get sued by the injured party.

That could be the future....................................

I did read your comment. "Exploration" has become more popular over the years, and if it turns to that then I will be doing something else. There isn't anything I can do to change the process if that happens.

There are many people in the hallway because this was an event held where people from all over the US and Canada were attending. Most had been exploring for quite some time.

whats the scariest place u have ever gone to?.....her in mass
was it a special day? that's why there was so many people at one time?
Kirkbride's original specification for psychiatric hospitals was gas lighting, because (at that time) it was the "safest, neatest, and most convenient."
MOTTS DOESNT LIKE TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO ENTER THESE ABANDONED PLACES ON HIS WEBSITE BECAUSE HE DOESNT LIKE TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE ILLEGAL STUFF HE HAS TO DO TO ENTER THESE PLACES AND TAKE PICTURES.... LIKE TRESSPASSING AND BREAKING AND ENTERING.....EXPLORE AT YOUR OWN RISK
