An "organization" that likes to sneak into abandon mental hospitals to document their decay. Combines the hobbies of camping and photography with the love of hanging out in cemeteries. Sounds like fun!

Interesting to see that a few of the hospitals and sanitariums documented are in the Massachusetts area. Other sites of interest include, an ice skating palace in New Jersey, a train station in Indiana, a hotel in the Catskills, and the sewers of Vienna. My personal favorite is the Bennett School in Millbrook, NY (pictured above) that looks like something out of one of the Harry Potter books.
