Turn your volume up.

UPDATE:

We just got into the building from :16 - :31 (Norwalk Hall). ALSO, went inside the Power Plant located off FFH main property.

Fairfield Hills once held over 4,000 mentally unstable patients. The building's original beauty is only masked by the scars of mother nature and recent vandalism. The asylum lost its accreditation in 1994 and slowly closed down its over 25 campus-style buildings.

Today, much of the site is under construction and renovation to create municipal town buildings. The area is patrolled by one security guard in a blue truck - who really doesn't do much.

This time, three of us entered through Litchfield House, where we discovered a passage to the underground tunnels. They were just as magnificent as we had hoped and we followed them to Yale Laboratory (the morgue). It was completely pitch black and the echoes from your shuffling feet tended to play mind games with you. I hope you enjoy your tour of them.

Yale Lab has been virtually untouched - only a few remnants from vandals were there. I was surprised at how good of shape it was in. We found the autopsy tables, body coolers, and "bio-hazardous" sinks. We left the building and headed back to the tunnels when we all agreed we felt like we shouldn't be there.

We practically speed walked back to Litchfield House (the drug ward) and went back up to the second floor, where we heard banging during our last visit. I turned my camera off, and immediately there was banging from the other end of the hallway. Luckily, I was fast enough to catch it the second time, merely half as loud as usual - but STILL on camera.

Needless to say, we ran out of there after that.

We went in not to ghost hunt, or to vandalize, but to see the building's beauty masked behind years of neglect.

Please, if you go into any abandoned facilities, treat them with respect. They've been around a lot longer than you have.

PS. I edited this while having close to a 102 degree fever. Yeah...when I got home from FFH, I had a fever.
