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?
ReplyDeleteSecurity was easy to get around. Just be smart.

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.
Nah not really, lots of the buildings are hard to get into because they are boarded up real good tho

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.

ReplyDeleteHealth 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

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.😞🙏🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteI 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
