Internet research revealed another interesting parallel. Nocton Hall Hospital
was supposed to have an eerie feel, the buildings taking on a slightly sinister guise. Such
an atmosphere was also supposedly prevalent at the CRCMH, backed up by the well
publicised manifestation of The Flincher. As Marlon and I picked
our way around the buildings, we found the hospital calm and welcoming. Perhaps the sheer
heat of the day made the cool buildings more welcoming than they would’ve done on a cold, squalid day.
I wonder if such ghostly feelings were more to do with the more casual explorers who frequented
these places. We saw no sign of security and wondered if the site had any. The CRCMH was
similarly unprotected and a wide cross-section of the curious who never would normally
set foot in a derelict building plucked up the courage to enter. Perhaps it was the nerves
and adrenaline of these explorers who gave these places their slightly undeserved sinister overtones.
