Tried to visit September 1, 2018. Couldn't get past the short-tempered guard at the gate. Wouldn't even let us take exterior pictures. If you're not in a tour, you won't get within 1/2 a mile of the place.

I went for an evening/night guided tour in October 2009. It was worth going. Very spooky building. Note -- take a flashlight. The building is not lit and it can be dark in the stairwells.

Big and abandoned for decades, but now popular on tours, which are booked months in advance. It is claimed to be "One of the most haunted places in the world." May 2013: Photo added.
