thanks a lot! . well among the creeks, and draughts of winds haunting the corridors, we were the only ones. I'm not one for pitch black rooms or corridors, but somehow I was calm in the place. it's not an attraction, merely closed and fenced in for demolition/renovation.

yeh, you're right . but it's fun getting in and not getting noticed. you don't break anything, and take nothing but photos. the only thing you leave behind is your footprints
.

Lovely, and a perfect name as well. Although the rest of us may have become comfortable in our cages, you canβt mistake the look of longing on her face, and the trepidation is very well conveyed in the arm across her stomach and the hunch of her back. But isnβt it spelled Stockholm, after the city in Sweden? I could be wrong on that. Iβd definitely visit the place if I could see such beautiful ghosts haunting the halls.

thanks .i think it might have closed in the 70's or 80's, haven't done the proper background check yet. It was a major thing for me to visit since my aunt was a residence and went through all the horrible works like Electro Convulsive Therapy. It's a truly majestic building though, if not haunting at some times.
