These pictures are awesome Pokey :thumbup: I love ghosts and haunted places! I have not seen the movie but I think it is about time to borrow it from my mom! Did you experience any paranormal activity or was it pretty much just creepy???

I didn't really see anything but I did get really nauseous in this room they call "The Toilet Room". It is full of old toilets and right when I walked in I got really sick. I appreciated the architecture more than anything. They really don't build things the way they used to. :(

There used to be an old abandoned psych hospital an hour or so from where I live. They decided to tear it down :grumpy: I did get a chance to go inside a couple of times and there was a bunch of buildings, at least 12. Every building was connected by an undergroud tunnel. I didn't go in the tunnel though. . . .way too dark for me ;)

That sounds just like the one in Manteno, Illinois. Those tunnels were downright spooky at night.
 
Thank you Pokey for taking the time to tell us about your experience and post some pics. I love Shawshank myself and have watched it countless times. Really cool thread! Thanks.
 
Thanks for sharing this ... and great pics too :thumbup: Old places always have a special charm ... even if it is the "creepy" sort ... :eek:
 
Driven by there many times -- the first few when it was still an active prison. But I've never taken the tour.... now I will! thanks.

It is definitely worth it! Make sure you share your experience if you decide to take the tour! :thumbup:

This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I'm jealous of you for going, but I'm elated that you had the chance to experience it. The pictures are great, I'm sure they do no justice to actually seeing it for yourself.

We can go together I have always wanted to go as well but all of my friends are Chickens.

Well I was planning on going during the summer next year. . . . So it's not as cold :D We will have to put something together!
 
If my schedule allows I'll glady escort the lovely Busse ladies to this spooky place (or any) and be the reliable, protective and calming person I have proven myself to be.
 
Great stuff Pokey. You need to get into the youtube thing next time.
