[quote:deannalee:MV8yMDgzNTU4XzM1MTU2Mjc5Xzg2MzEyMUUx] you guys forgot the most important part of the article http://www.strangeusa.com/Viewlocation.aspx?id=1916 ""Although it has been abandoned since the mid-90's, proceed with EXTREME caution as there is almost always a cop or two there and at least 4 squad cars are guarding the location around Halloween." "This Institution which was at one time privately owned, now belongs to the state. It is now patrolled by state troopers. Inside there are many of underground tunnels, none of which you can actually pass through because they are all welded shut at the doors. " then theres this other article claiming the tunnels have been removed http://www.topix.com/forum/city/newtown-ct/TI3VD9N3TNCB2LMNM [/quote]

The Damned Story
: Opened in 1931 to help alleviate the overcrowding at other state mental hospitals, Fairfield Hills housed “mentally ill” (aka “the criminally insane”) patients from across the state. Built on over 770 bucolic acres, the 16 buildings — all connected by underground tunnels — were home to over 4,000 patients when filled to capacity. Like many of its patients, Fairfield Hills projected an outward image that seemed quite pleasing; what was happening inside behind closed doors and out of the public eye, however, was much darker and disturbing."
