Requiem for Essex Mountain

A short I threw together with some of the pics I could find around the net.
The music is from the film THE NINTH GATE. From the first moment I heard this haunting theme, I could think of nothing else other than the sad feelings I had when roaming around the abandoned sanatorium at Essex Mountain in Verona, New Jersey.
I suggest checking out www.mountainsanatorium.net/ as it is the definitive site for the remembrance of this institution.

I spent lots of time up there in the 80s. Great use of website photos w/ music! Enjoyed the video! Thanks!

I really enjoyed the video and music , my grandmother worked there in the late 1950's through 60's

Awesome pictures! I put a video response above which has a night tour of the place before they knocked it down.

NIce photography and music, I visited greystone years ago and was really freaked out by it, and when I had more courage to go back there was security keeping dumb kids like me out. Are any of the old abandoned New Jersey Hospital/Asylums still standing today?

What is there now in place of the old hospital?I hope they didn't cut down the 100 year old trees.
