Finally made our way to Severalls, and after a long drive and fading light felt as if we only scratched the surface of the beast. The asylum has an energy like no other explore I have done. Maybe it was the security guard walking around like a yellow peacock, or the fact I completely buggered my neck getting in; Severalls had a ‘feel’ to it I can’t put my finger on. Could it be the ghosts of lobotomised housewives creeping around in the dark past the peeling walls and ceilings, ripping open ancient vending machines for a rotten sugary treat? Or the inner-inner buildings boarded up and surrounded with razor wire to fuel the mind with unknown horrors. The imagination runs wild, and 13 years of slow decay only adds to the macabre character. An amazing explore, such a shame we didn’t have more time.
