I was thinking, who's going to buy a condo in a former asylum? But the building is sort of pretty, if not imposing. I'm sure lots of people would buy as there is a lot of interest in the building, but count me out of wanted to buy a condo or rent an apartment at the former Danvers State Lunatic Asylum.

I'm glad to read your reply. I scare really easy too. :chair: I am sitting here on a nightshift, with only a tech, and it just happens that we have no patients. Just reading these stories makes the hair on my neck stand on end and makes me want to turn around really fast to see if someone is standing behind me.
