I was totally fascinated with Northampton State Hospital watching a wild documentary on this famous mental institution in a psychology class freshman year. Epitomized the word "asylum" that you see in B-horror movies and Stephen King novels. Decaying, dark, empty places. Many men's trash, one man's treasure. Brooklyn-based photographer Tom Kirsch has featured a collection on Northampton at his site for Abandon Photography and Urban Exploration. Captures the spooky, tortured, but powerful aura of the now-demolished hospital. Check out all of Mr. Motts work, does some cool shit with these industrial graves.
