Teufelsberg, Berlin, Germany by EmmaJG on Flickr.
Via Flickr: Teufelsberg (German for Devil’s mountain) is home to an abandoned American/British Cold War listening station. The hill itself is made of World War II rubble, piled on top of a never completed Nazi military college (Wehrtechnische Fakultät) designed by Albert Speer. The building was so hard to destroy that it was easier to bury it instead. Operations on “the Hill” began in 1961 after it was discovered that it was a great spot for listening in to Soviet communications, and continued until the fall of East Germany and the Berlin Wall.

Forest Haven by rollfilm2 on Flickr.
Via Flickr: Laurel, MD, 11/12/2011 --Forest Haven Asylum was a mental retardation facility operated by the District. When it opened in the 1920s, Forest Haven had a reputation as a state-of-the-art treatment facility. The 250 acre compound was occupied by over 30 buildings - including cottages, a gym, church, and various other hospital and educational buildings. As time elapsed, Forest Haven's promising beginning crumbled and it became a dark and wretched place. Forest Haven was closed in 1991 by the Federal Government after a lawsuit reported hundreds of incidents of abuse, neglect, molestation, and theft. Today, a handful of the buildings remain in useas the District's Youth Rehabilitation Services (a euphemism for prison for juvinile delinquents) but most of the site remains forlorn and rotting. The property is partolled and they do not look kindly on trespassers.
