Hello, Unexplained-Mysteries forum goers
As you may or may not know, I am interested in the occult, paranormal, Cryptozoology, and basically anything to remotely do with ghosts. Video Games, Books, Movies, I love strange stuff.

Well, I have a true opporutunity to have a ghostly experience.
Connecticut Valley Mental Hospital's Cotter building is on an Native American (Mattabasek, or however you spell it, was Middletown before it's name change) burial ground. I am planning to go there.

As you may or may not know, I have a YouTube show, called D.A.M. and it is quite bad. We have no subject material, no good ideas, and it's just a bad show in general, I understand that. However I have an idea for a subject: the thing me and "Dante" share in common. The Paranormal.

With that out of the way, do you all understand?
I am planning to make the Connecticut Valley Mental Hospital Cotter Building- Our first paranormal case.
Hopefully this wont end up like the Blair Witch Project eh? eh? Ah, a joke...Maybe my last?

All joking aside: I need to know our target (Cotter Building), therefore, I need pictures. So, that is all I ask. Advice would help too, but it's not obligatory. Anyway: post pictures and info if you can find some.

Thanks:
NESSIEMAN

Here's an aerial view. Don't know which is the Cotter building though.

here is a pic of the water something or other, installed in the maintenance building. It's the only interior pic I could find.



You are aware that the CVH fire department is in the Cotter building right?

LOL That was one funny post. Good luck and be safe. JN

How do u know it's on a Native Burial ground?

Saturday night is when we are going. We will tape for our new and improved DAM.
And thanks a lot everyone, I never knew this site would be THAT helpful...
Ah, and I need Exterior pics, because we must know where to go.
It'd help if somebody here worked at CVH...

'
Reasearch online, and I asked around.



Thanks, but if it's the big complex one, that could be a problem...It's covered by a dome gate to stop the patients from climbing it.



I suppose thats the least I could do...

Oh my... well. Good luck!

LOL This should be good, Im excited for you. Then again I get excited over defrosting my refrigerator..JN

See...this is gonna be huge everyone...Huge!

Yes it is huge.I heard they have canceled all debates between Hillary and Obama, and also kicked TAPS to the curb, Paranormal State, A Haunting AND Most Haunted. I am hearing about an Pulitzer but whatever, you didnt hear that from me. I got people!!!

Dont really want TAPS to go away...But, still, that'd be awesome.
And I believe its A Pullitzer prize, not AN, but who cares.

TAPS said they dont mind, just debunk everything LOL...JN

So, you are going in to a functioning, active, filled with patients mental hospital (or whatever the PC term for it is now) to see if you can find ghosts?

Good grief.

LOL Im sure he will have fun and cant wait to see the evidence..JN

OMG
Neissman
I think you called me one night where I work...Is that you???
I had kept your phone number as it appeared, but never called you....

FYI
The indian burial ground is not on CVH grounds...It is on Aircraft rd...

The burial grounds at CVH are of the patients from the hospital...I live around the corner from here... Litterally!!!

WOW Small world!!!!

Mental hospitals are scary enough without ghosts!

LOL Thats for sure!! JN

Ah, I finally found the Cotter Building. Me and "Dante" were walking around (I got a bit singed by a steam vent), and we were peering into buildings (I know it's bad, but still...) and we found this building, with the "water or something or other" that Jennie mentioned. It had multiple machines, the same type of floor, AND windowing, which is the single most perfect thing that can happen.

Im bored, so I will answer some of your questions/fill in the blanks for some of your statements.



1) It's "Mental Patient Hospital" not Patients Mental Hospital
2) Yes, yes we are.



1) If I get any evidence...The building had a creepy feel though.



1) It says the Cotter building was ORIGINALLY on Indian Burial grounds (meaning the Natives were here before us, obviously)
2) I may check that out also...



1) More like small town...



1) Yes

One more day until the big day.
We are fully prepared.
Perfectly ready.
This is what we have:
Voice Recorder x2
Camera x2
Video camera x2 (you know how cameras usually have a video function nowadays)

So, tell me if I need anything else, if any one is reading this

Hey there...
Did you get my message?

You might want to read this Nessie before you go.

http://www.cga.ct.gov/2007/rpt/2007-R-0330.htm

It gives all the information on the hopitals very own police force and the fire department which is housed in the Cotter building.

Good luck!!!!!!!

And, u might want to listen to this b4 u go. Lets hope you find something-click here

That was awesome!!!!!
Thanks for posting it primordial!!!!

Yes, I could put that onto my PSP when I go, and listen to it on the walk there. You scared me though. I fast forwarded...And my volume was max.

For the record, here in Canada they are called psychiatric hospitals or mental health hospitals. "Mental Patient" -anything is pretty UN-PC.

Thanks everyone, this is really useful.

Are we there yet?

Haha...Not quite yet. Im going to go out with my friends all day today...So, that should be fun, just keep occupied, Saturday will come soon enough

Ive been waiting anxiously...What did you find?

Sorry, traipsing around a mental facility, that still has residents there, to play at being a ghost hunter is completly tasteless. My apologies if I have that wrong, but just reading the text you are providing, that is what I've gathered.

What's next, haunting an old folks home? Terrorizing a pre-school?

Nothing, and yes, we are going to terrorize a pre-school. (The Cotter Building is the maintenance, not the actual patient dormitories)

Yes everyone, we got nothing. We didnt even go up there. Matt and Sean saw 1 car, and turned around. Of course, Sean had all the equipment (I woulda went alone otherwise), and he went back.

However, we are going to REAL ghost hunting.
D.A.M.P.- DAM Paranormal
We'll start out small, i.e. My House. (not 100% sure though)
And then we'll go back to CVH.

I'm sorry...I don't understand why you turned around after seeing a car.

+I+ didnt turn around, my cameraman and my "assistant" did.

AWWWWWWWW what a wimp he was. Well, I am sure there are other places to investigate..Keep trying.JN
