Journey into a Haunted Hospital

[bphilly]

The Broadview Developmental Center was built in 1939. It was originally used as a veterans hospital but some 20 years later it was transformed into a care center for the mentally retarded. Many claim the building is haunted. The center closed in 1989 but the demolition process started only a few weeks ago. Two kind construction workers provided me exclusive access to the gated off building and showed me around.

This was the operating room of the hospital. The dangling cord coming from the center of the ceiling was a power supply for surgical instruments

I think you should apply some hard b/w or other dramatic effect (draganizer comes to mind) to enhance the effect..:thumb

The one with the cages is really disturbing. Great effort.
