Author Topic: Abandoned Asylums  (Read 1248 times)

My fascination with these particular buildings is quite obscure, so I shall try to explain it simply, as society's long forgotten mistakes are my obsession. If you were to see something obscenely disgusting, you might turn away in disbelief, but you have to turn back and look again, it's an instinctual thing. That's how I feel about these buildings. An individual could be stuck there for many reasons, for something as simple like OCD, which I have, to things like psychopathic rage. To think that years ago, if I was alive, I might have checked into the building I'm standing in, maybe never to check out is just so revolting that it becomes fascinating. I would have probably been given a lobotomy in an attempt to change the disorder, and that is why the surgeries are the most fascinating rooms of the lot. These buildings are practically everywhere, but nobody ever looks. Where I live, I can go to three in less than a half hours drive. You can feel the emotional distress from years long gone in the air, it is so scary that it again becomes fascinating. Unless you have ever been in one of these mistakes of society, you don't know what I'm talking about. Here is the first one I went to that sparked this strange obsession inside of me. inb4weirdthoughtsyougotthere, this is partially the reason for my weekly therapy.

Ghost Doctor, help me with my LCD!

I find them interesting also, there is so much history surrounded in these buildings.
I would not want to ever be in one of the active asylums in the world though, they are truly horrible places.

The thought that I would be lobotomized if not born after the 60s is quite terrible. Asylums still are terrible, but were way worse back then, when patients were lab rats. You don't have to take my word for anything though, I'm half insane anyways.

If you were insane in any amount you would not have been able to make the OP with such intelligence :D

I adore abandoned buildings, but not particularly asylums. Bad memories, bad thoughts. Not the sort of place I like to be. :U

I never understood why people go ghost hunting in insane asylums or prisons.
If I was going to encounter a ghost I wouldnt want it to be an insane ghost or a ghost whos committed a crime in the past! :(

Thanks, but try debating with my therapist :U

I dun like him, but my parents think he's necessary or I'll go on a murderous rampage killing all of the orphans in somalia or some stuff.

What you see on the outside:

"That's a pretty abandoned asylum."
What you see inside:

This image is what fascinates me. You wonder why everything was left like it was, and what occurred in the room you are in.

Insane people ought to be separated from the general populace.
Cleanse the gene pool.

Insanity isn't genetic dipstuff.


If you go in abandoned buildings, watch out for meth labs and crackheads. Hobos are usually nice :D
