Well, I am certainly no expert. I am however in possession of a Bible from a former patient who was at Bryce Mental Hospital in Alabama many years and many moons back. Its really pitiful the way this bible was kept and I don t just mean its appearance as I mean whats on the inside in writing and on nearly every page of it. Its written in pencil. Really sad! In 2004 I did visit the old Bryce Mental Hospital and it was closed down. It showed traces of being burned and it smelled of burn. I took many pictures with my digital camera and there are what people are calling "orbs" present in my pictures. The place was a grand ole mental hospital at one time and I'm speaking of its structural beauty. Its sad people feel the need to destroy such historic beauty. I have heard stories from my family elders about other family members being mistreated in places like that and also being mistreated in Nursing Homes. One story in my family is of an Aunt of mine being beat to death in a Nursing home. I also have heard stories of how they were lined up and a water hose was used to bathe them. Now I cannot and will not say with one hundred percent certainty that these stories are true. I do know The Bible is true and in my possession. I would hope my entry here will open the door for others to tell their stories. God bless M
