My former colleague Brian Dillon has made a specialism of the C20th ruin - check out his book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ruins-Documents-Contemporary-Brian-Dillon/dp/085488193X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318580601&sr=8-1

On the satirical side, my own county of origin has come up with this un-gem: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-23482587

Couple of pics from the hospital where I worked 1995-1997.

And another, where I used to park my car.

This one is close to where I live. Kings Park psychiatric center. Patience being cared for here were mistreated, and some died. There are reports that it is extremely haunted today.

In my experience, all hospitals are "haunted"!

I worked nights for 2 years, never saw anything remotely supernatural. I recall seeing a mouse run across the day room floor one night, and drunks walking past the windows on weekend nights........

One of the greatest places I've ever been is Kolmanskop, on the edge of the coastal desert, in Namibia; a turn of the century diamond town that was abandoned in the fifties. It's now being restored for the tourists, but the atmosphere in those sand-filled buildings was incredible.

One of the coolest abandoned hospitals is Danvers State Hospital in Massachusetts. It was brilliantly used as a location for the psychological thriller "Session 9", it had such an atmosphere it is essentially the main character in the film.
