Today something entirely different. Today it's about history & the forgotten America. Perhaps also about the haunted America... Introducing The Henryton State Hospital, or what's left of it (...). Indeed, this is the dream of urban explorers. Please enter this abandoned hospital with me.. (sorry, only on photo!).
If you like this article, please RESTEEM & COMMENT. I may award you with an upvote if the comment is interesting :-)
Inside the Abandoned Henryton State Hospital
In rural southeastern Carroll County (in the United States), you could find this hospital that was instituted in the early 1920s and established as a facility to treat black patients suffering from tuberculosis. It was one of the first hospitals in Maryland that were built to provide black Americans with the same level of treatment as white Americans. Secondarily, it was used for the instruction and treatment of mentally ill adults.
The hospital shut its doors in 1985. Since then, more than 80 fires took place in the abandoned building, as it fell victim to deterioration and vandalism. Especially with the increased tourism / day trippers sneaking around. The hospital is not there anymore today, as it was demolished in 2013. I've visited the complex just a year before, in 2012, with a friend who lives close by and was absolutely fascinated by the structure. And boy, this turned me into an enthousiast as well. Hereby a photo series.
The Haunted House?
Oh... and there are many stories of people who've experienced horrifying suspense with all sorts of paranormal activity. I suggest you to read the stories widely spread on the internet to catch a glimpse of how the place really felt like... A true haunted house.
this pictures are saying lots of things. greats shots. 👌👌

I've always loved urban exploring but I've never done much myself. Here in Alaska we don't have many building lying around abandoned. It would be cool to see shots from the place before it was deserted and compare them. That would be a cool project. Thanks for sharing!

This is a dilapitated and abandoned hospital, by the look of its destruction its been abandoned for years but what baffles me about these pictures is how you were able to make something this old and damaged look interesting to view and appealing. Great job Sir this is true photography taking lemon and making a lemonade out of it.

Both a fascination of mine and a terrifying thought to be imprisoned in a place like this. How helpless one must feel knowing there is no escaping or how long this will be your home. It gives me the creeps and makes me want to look deeper into each corner just to make sure no one still lives there. Great photo shoot. 🐓🐓

I was hospitalized once, for my mental problems, but the place was right next to a abandoned asylum, and I for sure was experiencing some intense paranormal phenomena while I was there. Frightening doesn't begin to describe. After about 6 years, I went online and found several videos documenting voices out of nowhere, other relics of disturbing nature from this very place. Thank you for sharing your photos, the graffiti is redeeming to an otherwise sterile and suspicious place, in my opinion. Hope my comment is deserving of your Upvote. Your post is almost inspiring to share the experience I had with my haunted mental hospital. Time will tell.

What's wrong with that? Early American Wreckage is one of my favorite decorative motifs. Nothing there a little WD-40, duct tape, spray paint and a good broom and dust pan can't fix.
Seriously though, that's some serious photography. Reminds me --for some reason I can't quite fathom-- (pun intended) of the wreckage of the HMS Titanic.
Well done !

How neat of a place to explore! Thats really cool that you got the opportunity to check it out before it was taken down. Are you familiar with fairview training center in Oregon? Most of its been taken down but I was fortunate enough to explore it before that happened. If you haven't heard of it before, you should google and read about the history. Its terrifying!

Este lugar es aterrador, no solo por el deterioro de la estructura sino por lo que representa, en el hay toda una carga de dolor, angustia. Yo no me atrevería a entrar en un lugar así, he estado en edificaciones muy antiguas pero no aterradoras como ésta y he experimentado sensaciones extrañas, he visto cosas que otros no ven, si entro a un lugar como este no me sentiría segura y creo que las cosas que vería y escucharía podrían hacerme mucho daño. Definitivamente no me atrevo a entrar aun lugar así.
