I live next door did a photo shoot there yesterday… I’m good
I live like 5 minutes away from Pilgrim State.
just going to throw this out there, but could the sulfur smell be natural gas? if it is, that could mess with your perception. I would have that checked out first.
there are a few buildings that are still up and running, other buildings have now been demolished but the ruins remain.
I use pilgrim state as a short cut all the time .. lol
loved kingdom hospital, but the ending, sucks
I live close to Pilgrim State in Kings Park. Pilgrim State is in Brentwood but we have another old abandoned psych hospital 10 minutes away in Kings Park with run down buildings identical to Pilgrim State. Kings Park was basically Pilgrim State's sister site. When I was a kid both hospitals were still partially up and running. Jeffrey Dammer stayed in Kings Park for a bit. We grew up hearing horror stories about those hospitals from people who worked in them. Patients would scream at us when we cut through the grounds to get up town or to our middle school quicker. It's miles wide with many buildings. The top floors were for the dangerous patients but many patients would be released during the day. Many would wander around town rambling and cursing. We carried knives just incase.There's long tunnels under them with things like chains on the walls. As teenagers we used to dare each other to go investigating and it is the creepiest place I've ever seen…. We always heard strange noises and felt like we weren't alone. I've searched caves and old buildings in Iraq with bloody rape beds on the floor an whatnot, which were less creepy. Because of Asbestos, it's cheaper for the state to just let both hospitals rot so all ideas over the past 2 decades of what to do with them never made it off the drawing board. They are over a century old and psychiatry was very inhumane even up into the 50's. You can imagine the horrible things that went on there. The thousands of broken lives that past through both hospitals.
brilliant show! i enjoy this alot
Tony,you need to research the Hanna House in Indianapolis. Your story of the skeleton in the basement of that town's museum reminded me of the Hanna House. It's a house from before the civil war and was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Supposedly there are bodies of run away slaves in the walls of the basement. I don't want to say much else because I want you to research it and possibly share about it on the show?
Could you possibly have jenny read a story in a future episode to see how it goes? I understand if she doesn't want to but I think it would be interesting.
You guys are just so awesome!! And Jenny? You just became very dear to me, because I LOVE Lonesome Dove!! That was hands down! no question! the absolute BEST western ever made! Actually in my book its the only western, lol. I don't care for them really, well…ok, ok!! McKlintock, Cowboys and 3:10 to Yuma was pretty good, but anyway!! Thanks for another great hour!!
That movie "Salem's Lot" use to scare the heck out of me. After watching it, I was always afraid to look at the windows, I was traumatized by those boys floating and tapping on the windows. I actually watched it about a month ago and 30 years later, it still scares me.
Tony you would like kings kingdom hospital. Its creepy and funny. Me and my wife both liked it.
Tony, you've never seen Stand by Me? It's a classic.
I believe it's PCP that gives people "super" strength! Meth and heroine just makes you look like a zombie! My wife works in at a pharmacy and she has to deal with addicts all the time and she tells me they look disgusting and I know people who tried PCP and they said they heard voices and felt paranoid and very angry and they felt the urge to harm or even kill the people around them! The said they would never try it again they never even wanted to in the first place they just bummed a cigarette off of someone who coated all their cigs with angle dust! Crazy shit!
Jeremiah Johnson was made in 1972 and I saw it for the first time at our local theatre. It will always be my favorite Robert Redford movie. My whole family still makes reference to the scene in which Will Geer turns to Robert Redford and says, "Pilgrim, do you skin grizz?"
awesome show, love it. I've been watching since the beginning, never gets old.
