Had a chance to visit Nissiquogue State Park this Sunday and grabbed some shots of the old psych center at Kings Park. Kinda of an eerie place if you know it's history. Your thoughts???

Wow. What does hte building serve as now? They let people go inside it?

yeah, do they let anybody in there. Nice location for a shoot.
It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

They don't let anybody in there.
John when did you forgo aviation to be an Urban Explorer?! Trying to recapture that misspent youth I bet? :)

Correct people are not allowed in the buildings...but when there is a hole in the window that your camera lens fits in, that's fair game. I'll get more info on the place and post later.
I knew a guy who worked there. If you brought the joint up in conversation, he'd just clam up and leave. I personally have been there once and I got such a bad vibe from the place.

From Wikipedia...
...Post-World War II, Kings Park and the other Long Island asylums would see their patient populations soar. In 1954, the patient census at Kings Park topped 9,300, but would begin a steady decline afterwards. By the time Kings Park reached its peak patient population, the old "rest and relaxation" philosophy surrounding farming gave way to pre-frontal lobotomies and electro-shock therapy, but those methods would quickly become ancient in 1955, following the introduction of Thorazine, the first widely used drug in the treatment of mental illness. ....
Wow, some great shots there John and you captured the creepy vibe.
Brought back some GREAT memories for me though!!
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
even thou its not recommended, just make sure you have a super bright flashlight in those buildings, the basement can be pretty dark with just the light off your cell! :lol:
A couple a nights ago I watched for around the 20th the time the class film, The Shinning. This place which I have seen numerous times from the distance reminds me a lot of the fictious Overlook Hotel from the film. Interesting shots guys.
