I had never heard of this place before, but it's up in Maryland and some friends of ours were going up there so we tagged along....
It's basically an old abandoned hospital (set up as a TB Hospital in the early 1900's, turned into a normal hospital, then shut down in the 80s due to asbestos) community deal strewn amongst fields and woods, made up of 23 buildings... Along with some underground tunnels...
I realize it wasn't the best idea of ours to go in there (not only is it filled with asbestos, but it's condemned and owned by the US Government, with no tresspassing signs all over the place)... But it was fuggin awesome... When it shut down they basically left everything there... Of course since then the place has been looted and vandalized to hell, and all the grafitti and litter (except the old newspapers and books) really took away from the mood...
Some girls wanted to go there as a thrill frightfest (after nightfall... 5 flashlights and a lantern among 8 of us... of course it's creepy, and there are tales of ghosts and multiple reports of strange occurences), but I ended up just coming away fascinated by the place...
First we entered the warehouse first, followed by the laundry house, then a doctor's house (some of us wanted to leave after every person in our group got a burning feeling in their nose and throat after going up to the second floor), and finally the children's hospital (the biggest building we entered, and second biggest on the lot next to the adult hospital)... It was basically walking around a big field/wooded area, spotting a shadow of a building, and then looking for a way inside (with most of the entrances boarded up)...
The Children's Hospital was the best... 4 floors and a basement... Old school books scattered on the floor, a flooded elevator shaft, numerous balconies, and some loooong ass hallways...
We'll probably all develop cancer in about 10 years...
Anyways, I don't have any of the pictures my friends took, but I found these around the net...
That's the children's hispital building... We didn't realize how big it was and entered from the far east side...
So whaddya think? Purty neat? Anybody else here ever explored creepy abandoned buildings?
