I suspect that the making of these images required trespassing. YouTube has a surprising...

Maybe I've just been watching too many horror movies, but I've taken a sudden interest to the idea.I want some excitement in my life, and visiting some freaky mental asylum sounds pretty cool :) I've watched a bunch of those paranormal...

Near my house there is an abandoned hospital. When it was first built it was used to house prisoners of war in 1952. After the war they converted it into a mental institution. If you google this place, there is no info on it. It became...

I've visited no-longer-in-use prisons and a prison for the mentally ill. They were very interesting, love hearing all the freaky and exciting stories. What I really want to do is visit an old abandoned mental asylum. Sounds freaky I...

The building for my art school was a Victorian era asylum that had been closed a number of years earlier. Each student was given one of the cells as a studio. The coat of white paint on the walls did not conceal what had been scratched...

Oh my god I am so happy to say that I have finally got to get inside of an old mental hospital.  I won't post the name of it out here since we weren't supposed to be there.  But some ninja like stealth and Rambo style moves amd we...

It's like jail, I want to see what it's like to be IN there, firsthand. Although, I doubt I would like it very much. That doesn't stop me. I want to see it with my own eyes, experience it, revel in the passion of being alive - in a...

Winter 1985. I was in New York city for a conference. One evening, a buddy and I took the cable device that takes people to Roosevelt Island in the East River. It wasn't too cold. There were people walking about, even though it was a...

When I was a teenager, my friends and I used to wander through the abandoned Whitby psychiatric hospital. It had been abandoned almost 30 years, and it was incredibly creepy to go through. Always at night, since it was very illegal to...

OHMYGOD!  I really actually want to do this!

It's not that I'm creepy or anything, I don't want to waken malevolent spirits. 
I like to visit random graveyards as well.
I like to sit there and feel the air thick with human...

Going in is illegal -- trespassing. Dangerous. Unhealthy (asbestos, mold, flaking lead paint). Many say they have heard unexplained noises, or have seen lights on in buildings supposedly with no power. If you meet others, they are...

I worked for a College that renovated an older mental institution (quite beautifully actually) and was there from the beginning. This building was also a known local site for ghosts and heard the many weird and amazing ghost stories...

Someday.As soon as I find one me and friends can take a trip to thats close by.

Duuuude, that’d be so cool to walk around in an abandoned mental asylum! =D I mean, I belong in one, so, might as well get one all to myself, right?I’ve always loved wandering off and exploring new, different places. I’ve been...

When I walk throung desolate enclosed areas, I fantasize about the stories which the walls could tell. Much like a face, every mark tells a story, whether it be something as sinsiter as a patient holding a physician at scalpel point...

They plan on Tearing that whole area down and building a large park on the properties, I suggest getting out there and checking it out.
