There was a huge boom around the early 1900s to build them and every state has several. In fact, I'm targeting one that's been completely fenced off and off limits from the public for decades but they want to raise $ to refurbish it as an historic site and we're hoping to convince them to let us run a few tours through there to raise money. I can't imagine being the first ones in there after all this time. It'll be like a ghost hunting virgin site not corrupted yet by trampling masses. I am definitely checking out Roosevelt Island info. Thanks for the insight. :-)Sharon Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609356325356264202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562032584293780619.post-34503773756395636202009-07-28T12:49:52.816-07:002009-07-28T12:49:52.816-07:00Roosevelt Island, where Jennifer Connelly's ma...Roosevelt Island, where Jennifer Connelly's malefic & tragic haunting melodrama, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Water_%282005_film%29" rel="nofollow">"Dark Water"</a>, was filmed, has at least one abandoned sanatorium. Also, there was a Civil War era hospital there, whose ruins were used in some band's music video. But dang! I cannot for the life of me recall whose it was at present writing. Eeek. Appropriately enough, largely due to what my word veri implies, "orerb", for "or 'erb". LOL! I'm sure that something'll actually manifest there, that is, if any intrepid parapsychological crews would only have at it ~ (•:-)}Anadæ Quenyan Effrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099936811529384432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562032584293780619.post-65280404472356842672009-07-28T10:15:05.213-07:002009-07-28T10:15:05.213-07:00Thanks Julie.

I have no regrets because I know that when they died, they knew that I loved them both very much. I'm sorry about your sister but at least she is at peace now.<br />~~Julie~~Julie Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460274888229792456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562032584293780619.post-3163860649926839712009-07-28T09:06:35.232-07:002009-07-28T09:06:35.232-07:00I think it's a great thing when folks get to w...I think it's a great thing when folks get to walk around those places and get the feel of residual that exists there. It's a stark reality when they see the straps on the tables and the equipment. I have to admit, my life has been very complex and the stories are so immense that people tell me to write a book about my life, but I don't think anyone would believe it--stranger than fiction. I also feel that, once going through it, I have a perspective that makes it hard to portray the immensity of it because enough time has gone by to see it as part of a process instead of a bunch of assaults against my security. Sadly, my sister died at the age of 50 in 2005. She had been morbidly obese (chronic caretaker of others and not herself). She got gastric bypass surgery and a tummy tuck when she lost 150 pounds and then had abdominal adhesions resulting in peritonitis--a horrible way to go--most painful. Unfortunately, as a psychic, I knew she was going soon. Something in her voice and something about her bothered me. I begged my hubby to go back and visit with her and my other siblings and I told him "this is the last time I'm seeing her." He didn't believe me, but when we saw her, she looked horrible. We had a great time together and I felt nothing was left undone or unsaid and she died a few weeks later. Yeah, another story for the book of my life, I guess. The great thing about all of this, however, is that after losing our father and mother, my sister and I became very very close and she was my best friend and my "Lillamor" again. She was very accepting and supportive and I gave her the same, so we did resolve all the distances that laid between us after her memory loss. I try to treat everyone and every day like it could be the last and nothing is unsaid, even if I just notice a stranger's shoes, I'll compliment them, or make someone laugh who's frowning. I never hold onto compliments. I always share. I'm thankful for the people I've had in my life and the time I got with them (we only get to borrow people), so I never have regrets. I wish other people could learn that instead of hanging onto the dead and all the "what if's" and "if only's."Sharon Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609356325356264202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562032584293780619.post-30381115458501583642009-07-28T08:56:22.694-07:002009-07-28T08:56:22.694-07:00Wow, that was some story about your sister.

I can see that an abandoned mental ward could have more hauntings and an old prison. Most had no idea of what was going on and aware of their surroundings, so their spirits have no where else or any idea of where to go. Sad, but these place do make for good ghost hunts.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905415280609509626noreply@blogger.com
