Mental Hospitals are creepy to say the least, as you probably have saw in the feature film Shutter Island. But what if I said this one was for children. Elmcrest Mental hospital was opened in Portland, CT in 1942 and was built around the historic childhood mansion of Elizabeth Jarvis Colt. Not only did this site host In-Patient help but also an on campus school for the youth patients. In 1998 a patient was killed while being restrained by an employee and the final chapter on this historic location ended in 2003. Today the campus remains untouched but be warned is patrolled heavily by security.

Is the hospital hard to get into because of the security?

DeleteI actually spent some time there. Very creepy. Stay away.
ReplyDeleteI spent some time there too. The staff was awful and I'm surprised more kids weren't killed.
DeleteI spent time there when i was 13. After being sexually assualted by another patient and telling, they punished me too nu restaining me in a body bag then locked in a padded room for hours. I couldnt breathe, no one could hear me crying and no dr ever came in. Im lucky they didnt kill me. I have flashbacks 30 yrs later. Place was as close to hell you can get
DeleteI was there twice in 1987 and 1988 as a teen. EVERYONE was put on psych meds which enabled insurance payment due to being labeled. The environment made us crazier than we started. Spooky place.
DeleteI was there in the 80s never been same since and did make ppl more crazier than when went in
DeleteI knew a kid who went there in the mid 80's. he was missing 2 teeth and told me that at night some other kids there put heavy stuff in socks and beat him half to death.
DeleteThe staff was no good.
Abuse by the staff probably been going on at that place since the 1940's when it opened. I was there around 1983 and every other day something was always going on, being staff related or other. I saw this kid get his arm pulled out of the socket by the staff's infamous arm behind the back restraint. Not to mention the body bags. For those of you who don't what a body bag is, it's a rectangle shape (the length of a human body) canvas and board "straight jacket" that the staff would put people in and have them lay in that thing on their back on the floor until the staff felt like letting the person out. It had boards inside along the sides where the person's arms were and straps outside so the staff could tighten as tight as they wanted to. They didn't use straight jackets like in movies and !*it like that. Now, there was some good staff members but a lot of them were bad. So, this is all I have to say about the bad staff, ya'll can eat a !*ck and die.
DeleteRIP Andrew McClain
They should of closed that place years before the staff killed you.
I think the people who worked there (such as staff) had friends and relatives put people in there pretending to be patients because, think about it, these would be the people that set you up the first few days you're there, always got away with sh*t and never got in trouble for nothing.
DeleteI spent time in there in 1990. I didn't have any problems there but have totally seen people in that body bag. I didn't get my ass put in there!
DeleteNah not really, lots of the buildings are hard to get into because they are boarded up real good tho

ReplyDeleteI volunteered there in 1973 while attending Middlesex Cummunity College. If any employee complained or spoke out about the inhumane treatment some of those wonderful children were recieveing, they were let go. I guit before I was let go.
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying you worked there in 1973? Saybrook, Portland and Chapman units weren't built until the mid 70's. Before that it was just Manor house and Marlboro house and I'm pretty sure they both had adult patients. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

DeleteI was sexually abused by another patient there. I was 13. I told on him and they restrained me just like the kod who died and put me in a padded room. I couldnt breathe i could barely cry and no one came for me for hours. I have ptsd 30 years later remembering being in that bag. Lucky im alive but it basically taught me my first sexual encounter, a rape, was excusable and apparently my own fault
DeleteYou will shut down the page for posting of ElmCrest property? You're so tough and convincing, but you post as anonymous. Make a fist, now punch yourself
DeleteHonestly how on earth does it negatively impact you if someone explores an abandoned building? He isn't defacing it or taking anything from it. Also, it's not like anyone else is using it.
DeleteJust some pathetic little toady who works for the state on a power trip.
DeleteDoesn't even have the guts to post his name.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DO YOU SERIOUSLY CARE ABOUT A "NOW IRRELEVANT" AND DEFUNCT FACILITY BEING POSTED ABOUT YOU FUCKTARD?!!! Get the fuck over yourself and after you hopefully do that...GET A FUCKIN LIFE THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE YOU DEFENDING A CONDEMNED FACILITY...HOLY HELL..YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE LOOKIN AT CHECKIN YOUR CRAZY ASS INTO A CUCKOO JOINT THAT'S STILL IN OPERATION!! Institute of Living in Hartford is still takin crazy I hear!!! Jesus Christ give them a ring a ding ding AND SOON HONEY...SOMEBODY'S OFF THEIR MEDS!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
DeleteWhat's the matter, you don't want people knowing about the two way mirrors with video cameras behind them in the bathrooms? That's why you didn't want people going in there and finding them because there was children as patients.
DeleteFu** you and Fu** elmcrest.

Just putting it out there the "anonymous" that posted saying they're investigating and blaming blah blah about how you'll be arrested for taking photos and exploring hes some douche who "patrols" the lot on a bike drunk out of his mind thinking hes hot shit with his toy badge also if caught by this crazy freak he will take a picture of you even if you dont concent hes a freakshow drunk who will chase you and try to harm you be aware we recently visited and he had caught us threatened to call the cops asked what we were doing we said we were just exploring and ment no harm we were there to take some cool pictures he freaked out made us delete the pictures and escorted us to the back where he held us there unwillingly to rant to us about YouTube videos and pictures about the building then took a picture of us after we told him we didnt consent hes a total dick he was so drunk he tripped over his bike not once but twice and flashed a actual toy badge to us also to any adventurers looking to go there he does have a gun and is drunk he will try to use force luckily he just let us go after we talked him down out of his anger and convinced him not to call the cops and to the man that stopped us there drunk on your bike thinking your a bad ass "cop" or "security guard" fuck you from the bottom of my heart you peice of shit scumbag
DeleteThat is nuts! He has no authority to do any of that. Sounds like he broke more laws then you did! I was there last week and luckily did not encounter this man.

DeleteHealth insurance is a necessity for everyone nowadays no matter where they live or what they do. All over the world medical costs are on the rise and falling ill is something that everyone goes through.

Also, in many instances, it is believed that mental disorders can be set right with attitudinal changes. For example, many believe that children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) need to be more disciplined and spanking is the best way to ensure that they behaved appropriately. guarantor
ReplyDeleteRifat Ansari STFU. Unless you were in there and went thru hell like many of us did then save your BS excuses why the abuse and using people as a cash cow for the state went on in there.

ReplyDeleteI was a INVOLUNTARY court ordered guest in this place...TWICE!!! Chapman unit is the only name the comes to memory and I believe that was the teen and preteen unit I was in the first time. My placement both times was for drug addiction so I can't really say anything all that terrible besides the other memory I have that sticks out on the second go round I was a 17 year old girl in early pregnancy and I remember getting extremely sick from the meatloaf they served for dinner one night!!!😂😂😂Just sayin my first stay I was just 16 in 1988 and the second one was obviously required and in mid 1989 and back then I don't recall any kind of shit happening there (KNOWN ABOUT/REPORTED). But I do remember when that poor boy was overly restrained by an ill trained employee to the point of suffocation and dying. Very very sad....God Bless that boy.😞🙏🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteKendraR. teen and pre teen (up to age 15) was Saybrook Unit. It was also known as the adolescent unit. More than likely you were on Portland Unit or Chapman Unit. Some people even were in that new building over by Manor house.
DeleteBut I hear you, everybody went through hell in that place including me when I got put in a body bag for no reason.
Which unit was the one with the tall wooden poles that you couldn't go past without certain privileges? It had a partly tile floor near the kitchenette area and some of the rooms and a big open area in the middle for group.
DeleteMost likely Portland or Chapman unit. Saybrook unit was like that too except without the tall wooden poles.
DeleteI was there in September 1991 and I remember being forced to take medication also remember staff being scumbags reading about that poor 11 year old boy instantly brought me back to one day being put on what they called a "focus" plan and i was to write about how I'd wronged everyone in my life when I refused I was drug to the padded room arms pulled behind my back and layed on top of by a 280lbl staff member it's crazy how 28 years later I remember like it was yesterday I also remember a kid in there name was Mike he had been shuffled through these places since he was 6 years old because his parents had died he was hilarious and made me laugh even though I was miserable he would quote salt n peppa ride it like a horse and let nature take its course in an ALF voice Mike if you ever see this I hope life since has treated you well
ReplyDeleteI was there for 55 days mid 80s at 13 years old. Then in php day school remainder of the year. Some staff were definitely sadists and jerks, but others were real nice. I actually advanced from "runaway" status upon admittance be one of the few "unit" status kids able to roam the unit freely (never applied for "privileged" status, which allowed leaving the building). Despite the bad stuff that went on, I actually came to really like it there, and didn't want to leave (insurance ran out). Worst part was when I got out, I didn't know wtf to do with myself. Had lost contact with outside friends. Remember sitting on the couch at home and crying because of it.
ReplyDeleteWow, 55 days? It took me 3 months to do that and that's with all privileges but it was called a day pass. I was there for 4 months altogether (the first time) and still didn't get out of that place unscathed.
ReplyDeleteI was there for over 18 months from early 77 to late 78,i was referred by Manchester hospital, my parents were told that I need long term inpatient care, i was put in the adolescent unit, when I was in the admission unit i was put in a straitjacket for 6 hours because I grab a paper clip and tried to stick it in my wrist, i was grabbed and thrown to the floor by 3 big guys, i was only 17,i did witness a lot of crazy stuff, but I don't want to think about what I saw and what I want through, i do remember that they did love giving out that thorazine a lot

I used to explore this place. I lived down the street from this place for 23 years. I lived in a very haunted house on commerce st that was built I'm 1827. That abandoned place is VERY haunted. Especially the building that had the padded rooms and auditorium. Consistent sounds of glass breaking, doors opening and closing, and my friends and I sat in a circle in one of the padded rooms and got a recording of a very demonic groan/growl. This place needs to get investigated professionally before they knock it all down!
