I also noted that resources online made varying claims about the years in which they were abandoned and which buildings. I also made ZERO claims that the place was haunted and have never even step foot in any of the buildings. If you had read any of my other blogs, you would know that I never claim to be an expert on any of my topics. They are all just for fun and usually coming from a very "dumb blonde" point of view. You also may notice that since the initial post, many people have left comments about the building and its history. I've learned many things about the property since writing this, I'm just admittedly way too lazy to update any of it. These were my thoughts and views of the property in visiting while knowing nothing about the place and I don't feel that I should have to go back and change my naive first impressions because that's all that they were. <br /><br />I have also never claimed that ghosts are real. In fact, if you knew me you would know that I am annoyingly skeptical and tend to put down most researchers in my field on the regular.<br /><br />So congratulations on asserting your expert knowledge on the Taunton State Hospital. You win the award for most uptight reader.<br /><br />Take. A. Chill.

If you did any research or even looked through the sets of the photos that you linked to you would have known that:<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/futureimpaired/3902576644/in/set-72157605689544641/<br /><br />Anyway. There are (or were) no ghosts at Taunton State Hospital. Period. I spent days upon days in that place. My friends and I even had a hidden "clubhouse" inside of it with fresh sheets and beds. We would often go in at night to hang out and sleep and wake up for sunrise to walk around the building. For any strange experience there was a logical explanation.<br /><br />Ghosts. Are. Not.

The state hospital was never closed down there was however a big nurses strike . But when my family sold the house on Danforth Street and moved to California the hospital was still open and housed patients.As for weird things happening in that area it is true I've seen alot of weird stuff when I was growing up in the area. Especially in the woods behind my house.I've actually been inside the state hospital a few times.When I was little my catachisim class at Our Lady of Lourdes went there to sing christmas carols. It's definantly has some weird vibes in there. The place has alot of history.Theresa DaRosa Bettinsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117631516785733126.post-77166638580786355762010-11-03T14:50:18.863-07:002010-11-03T14:50:18.863-07:00Oh ok, that clears up some questions.

When people say "abandoned", they are referring to the original building, the Kirkbride building, which has been abandoned since the mid 70s. However, the campus itself is still active - to my knowledge, it never closed. The remaining wards are housed in different buildings slightly west of the Kirkbride (several adult wards and a DYS unit or 2.) Lots of stories in the history of that place.<br />--tyvekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588231080492413284noreply@blogger.com
