I love urban exploration. Well, not actually doing it, but seeing others' pictures of expeditions. While most places evoke sadness - farm house with faded curtains, once grand hotels flaking with decay - some are just plain creepy. Asylums... You know the suffering that happened inside them, the innocent people who had a curable illnesses who were trapped there.

They are creepy as hell.
Asylum
is still one of my very favorite
Supernatural
episodes because of this creepiness.

This is Danvers State Hospital.


It was built in 1874, closed in 1992, and demolished in 2006. There are LOTS of explorations documented of this site, but I found some evocative and creepy as hell pictures from a site called Opacity.



Patient rooms


Curtains over bars


In the basement (i.e. hell to the no)
