Central Virginia training center, once known as the Virginia state colony for epileptics and the feeble minded, opened in 1910 and conducted mass sterilizations in the name of eugenics. also the home of Carrie Buck of the Supreme Court case Buck vs Bell, which legitimized eugenic sterilization across the country. never forget we inspired the nazis.
it closed in 2022 after an investigation by the ADA found violations including undue use of physical restraints and inadequate nutrition. when I visited, it sat abandoned with one security guard out front. supposedly there’s plans to knock it down and turn it into condos.

Bad Priest
Check out the video here of the farm across the road!!
youtube
And now, let's walk across the street and look at this abandoned "retreat" for priests!!
Here is a bonus location, I only have photos from this one but thought they were worth including, since Southdown Institute used to be located right across the street from this farm.
Established in 1966, this building was used as a clergy rehab centre for mentally unwell priests. The non profit organization has a team of psychologists and psychiatrists who try to rehabilitate priests who have had problems with alcoholism and depression. There are also a small number of priests who have been accused of child molestation who also reside there.
The facility was surrounded by 100 acres of land and was in operation at this location for almost 50 years before the property was sold for redevelopment. A new building was built further north and continues on with its rehabilitation process.
Unfortunately, I got to this location a little bit too late, it was already in mid demolition but fortunately, some of the rooms were still furnished and the chapel along with the indoor swimming pool were still standing!

i don't think those are the whole and intact jon, martin, or jonah* in there
here's why
so before i get into this i need to mention that the ideas im riffing on here came from a conversation with @bigmilkagenda who is smart and brilliant and beautiful.
but i was thinking, and what do the existing accounts we've heard have in common? obviously, there are different degrees to which and ways in which these ideas are engaged with between each account, but extremely broadly:
we have ideas of the irreversible alteration or corruption of the physical form, and how that does and does not correlate with personhood and the self. specifically, how do these physical changes intersect with identity, and at which point can someone be said not to be there, themselves, anymore?
"some of him"?
i think it's safe to assume that redcanary, inasmuch as they were a mischievous little urbex enthusiast, cannot and will not be returning in the form that they left, if indeed they return at all
daria, though they are willingly engaging in the process of change and transformation, also doesn't have full control over the process, nor the results, if their preference not to be seen on camera is any indication
dr webber... well. gestures vaguely at the all of that.
there's another common theme amongst these, to me: there are varying degrees of suggestion of a judgmental observer, or a more general but prominent idea of seeing and perception. the subject of the first case (who i'd heard fandom ppl calling harry but who the official and unofficial transcripts both refer to as harriet, but that's not my point rn, just a thing i noticed) obviously experiences the horror of what they go through because, mostly, of the visuals of it.
the fuckin magnus institute.
daria's experience both with ink5oul's assessment of them and the whole livestream experience (which is chilling tbqh)
the increasing suggestion thru dr webber's journal that maddie is very much there (to him) and overseeing what is happening to him, appraising, if not judging directly.
so we've got a joint idea of loss of one's physical structural integrity/questions of both mortality and identity, and we've got an idea of perception and sight.
here's where i need to make a logical leap, but essentially, this thematic focus is making me think that there is something Less Than JMJ in the system (ghosts in the machine as it were), but that, if and when that's examined, it will not lessen the impact and poignancy of what they're experiencing, what they're capable of thinking or feeling, etc.
*i think it's equally possible, at least at this juncture, that J.02 isn't necessarily Literally Jonah Magnus: the wiki says that james wright "died" in 1996, and although that doesn't correspond directly with the institute's fire in 1999, it's possible that things progressed differently in this universe, and maybe he was the director of the institute at the time. but also this is much more speculative than my other points, i just think it would be neat!!!

So, after this episode of TMAGP, I have some thoughts.
(Spoilers for The Magnus Protocol up to episode 10 below. You have been warned.)
First of all, Mr Bonzo is terrifying and I am regretting making a model of him, which now sits and watches me from my bedroom shelf. I have so many questions, and nowhere near enough answers to satisfy my brain.
But what got me even *more* is what happened at the Magnus Institute ruins with Sam and Alice.
And who is this [ERROR] (Voiced by Beth Eyre) that is seemingly unleashed from the institute ruins at the end?
Well, I don't know. But I do have a bit of a theory...
What do we know about [ERROR]? Well. Not much. But I did come across this casting call from RQ, posted by @pinkelotjeart, which at the time they thought might be about Celia, however I can't see how it could be anybody if not [ERROR].
Mysterious? Absolutely. Hostile? If they're not, I'd be shocked. Raspy voice? If that breathing was anything to go by, definitely. Initially dormant, trapped + forgotten for twenty years? Well, the institute burned down just over twenty years ago, so I'm going to say that's a match too. Now the line that interested me most is the one that OP also highlighted - "building an identity for itself at the expense of its victims".
What else have we seen "building an identity for itself"? Something that Colin has warned Alice against personifying over and over again? FR3-D1. And Freddie certainly seems to be taking its toll on Colin, who could feasibly be it's "Victim"...
Now what exactly does this mean? I don't know! But noting that [ERROR] is also the way Jonny, Alex + Tim Fearon's character names were written out by RQ when the casting was announced (as they couldn't do the glitchy effect from the images), it feels significant.
But like I said. I don't know. That being said, imagine, for a moment, that you are this "[ERROR]" character...
You know your body is under the Magnus Institute, so you wait, biding your time, collecting as much information as you can. You watch through people's devices - harder, at first, but it gets easier and easier as technology advances. Some select few get the chance to relive their experiences, a "test screening" of sorts you name 'Voyeur' - you need to check your recordings are accurate somehow. You get involved with a tattoo artist named 'Ink5oul', who helps you out by live streaming their tattoo processes, showing you what the symbols they tattoo onto their clients mean, and how they combine.
You're not entirely undisturbed in your tomb under the Institute, of course - some idiots come poking around. It's a newer craze, "urban exploration", but you need it to stop. You find the most popular urbex forums, and, using the moderators accounts, make sure that your ruins are marked as "cleared" - there's nothing interesting to find there, so nobody will bother you.
That is, until someone who goes by the name of "RedCanary" comes to the ruins, and almost destroys everything. It isn't time yet. You find their post about the Institute and see that they're planning to post photos of the symbols that have been drawn over the ruins. That will only invite more interest, you can't have that. So you go through their phone and warp the photographs they took beyond recognition. You send them "anonymous" threats, making it look like it's through the forums. You use their webcam to watch them, making them more and more paranoid. The paranoia makes you stronger. You dispatch of them, and take a photo as a warning to everyone else, then post it on the blog. That'll keep them away.
When you've gathered enough audio data to learn to emulate voices, you start to speak. You read out the cases that will give the OIAR employees the tools they need to help you in your plight. But nobody notices. You can't be too specific, that'd only lead to more people poking around the ruins, destroying your chance. No, you need the right person. Somebody who understands The Magnus Institute, who can help you properly.
And then, conveniently you listen to the interview of one "Samama Khalid", and know that it's your time. He was on the list from KLAUS. So you start slipping in hints, waiting for him to get involved. And he does. And now he's freed you, and has absolutely no idea what he's just unleashed.
Anyway! On that happy note! What does any of this mean? Who knows! I am very excited to see where this goes. But I will leave you with a couple of thoughts:
- If [ERROR] was created "from someone on the point of death", is this how the other voices in FR3-D1 appeared? In which case, that leaves Jon, Martin + Jonah (?) dead. Did [ERROR] die in the fire that destroyed the Institute? Were they the cause of the fire?
- How are the artifacts we've seen so far (the dice + violin) related to all of this?
- How are Starkwall involved in all of this?
- And last of all, how do I destroy my model Mr Bonzo? I never want to witness his horrible face again.
If you've made it this far, well done. Let me know what you guys think! Happy listening!

MagPro thoughts
perhaps this theory is a little bit out there, but I was thinking about the stuff with the Magnus Institute ruins and how, on the UrbEx forum, it was marked as cleared and nomody ever went near it. It reminds me of Mag76, *The Smell of Blood*, where Melanie notices there's a few places all the UK ghosthunters frequent and they never look anywhere else, as if there's this unspoken agreement
and then she goes to one of those places and immidiatly gets stabbed, kinda like what happened to RedCanary. Obviously different place and time, but it seems pretty similar to me.

Hattie M. Carstens was a beloved activist who served a variety of social causes in Detroit until her death in 1915. This school, designed by the firm Malcomson & Higginbotham, opened on Coplin Street and East Vernor Highway a year later and named in her honor.
The three-story school has an F-shaped floor plan, the result of additions in 1919 and 1921. This made it fairly large for an elementary school, with 29 standard classrooms in addition to a library, kindergarten and four large specialty rooms. The building is also rather unusual among Detroit schools for its raised, fenestrated basement level, which is sunken half a level below. The front façade faces southwest onto Coplin Avenue, and the school sits in the middle of an entire 5-acre city block, just north of Vernor Highway.
The school is considered an outstanding example of the Arts and Crafts style that was popular in the early 1900s. This can best be seen in Carstens' decorative brick detail and tile and terra cotta that is focused around the central entrance and between floors. Malcomson & Higginbotham designed a handful of other schools in this style during this time period - Nichols School (1910), Breitmeyer School (1915) and Harms School (1917). Nichols and Harms are still in use; Breitmeyer was demolished in 2010. But the 1920s saw a shift in the design of educational buildings in the city, with a firm shift toward the Collegiate Gothic found at the great educational institutions of England. This makes schools of this style rare in Detroit.
An addition in 1919 added six homerooms, a gymnasium and an auditorium, and another addition two years later tacked on another nine classrooms.
The Herbert M. Rich School, named after a secretary of the Detroit Tuberculosis Society, was built in 1927 on the grounds of Carstens. That building was demolished at some point; it was a four-room bungalow-type structure with a dormitory.
In 1957, Carstens was converted into a unit for girls enrolled in the special education program, and opened the following year. Several basement classrooms were added in the late 1950s or early '60s.
The school continued serving the east side for the next half century. However, the Fox Creek neighborhood saw considerable decline and disinvestment during that time. Nevertheless, Carstens remained a high-performing school. staff went above and beyond to help their students. As Detroit URBEX wrote, "After several students were hospitalized with severe lead poisoning, Carstens began an outreach program educating families in the neighborhood about the dangers of lead paint in older houses. When teachers found out that many students were going hungry during weekends, they made extra meals for them to take home. A New York Times article noted 'to have more money for instruction, teachers sit with students at lunch, saving the school from having to hire lunchroom aides. Teachers hold jacket and shoe drives for children who have no winter coats and come to school in slippers. At Thanksgiving every child goes home with a frozen turkey donated by a local businessman. Twice a year a bus carrying a portable dentist’s office arrives, and a clinic is set up at the school so children can get their teeth checked.'”
However, as Detroit's population continued to decline, so did Carstens' enrollment, with the school losing more than half of its population between 1998 and 2007. In March of 2010, the district proposed closing Carstens Elementary, citing the loss of students and the $3 million in repairs the aging building needed. Parents fought to keep Carstens open and helped win it a temporary reprieve - but that stay of closure lasted only a year.
In 2011, Carstens was closed and merged with nearby Remus Robinson Middle School, making Carstens one of a staggering 195 public schools closed in the city between 2000 and 2015. Three years later, Carstens was among 57 closed Detroit Public Schools (DPS) properties given to the City of Detroit in exchange for forgiving millions of dollars in DPS' unpaid electrical bills. Sadly, the building has not faired well since closure, with major roof failure causing significant water damage throughout.
The City released a report in 2021 that offered potential developers insight into the structural integrity and floor plans of more than 60 vacant schools - 39 owned by the City and two dozen still owned by the school district. The effort was not only to take inventory of the dozens of vacant schools dotting the city, but also to incentivize redevelopment of the structures by reducing the upfront costs through the assessments provided. Given the roof failures and decade of decline, the City estimated that a renovation of Carstens would cost around $16.2 million, depending on use.
Carstens is located in Detroit's Fox Creek neighborhood, one that has seen more than its share of challenges and demolitions. The school is surrounded by vacant fields - and is home to one of the largest concentrations of vacant land and City-owned properties. Given the costs and challenges of redeveloping a school that's been vacant for more than a decade, this makes finding a savior for Carstens, no matter how beautiful the building is, sadly unlikely.

Case files 10.02
what I think happened in:
Case 10.02, the case of "The Trapdoor Opens" or "Releasing ancient evil – a guide."
One might say it's cheating, making a file for an event that technically isn't a case yet, in that it hasn't been noticed and recorded by OIAR. (Yet). Buuuuuuut… I don't care. :)
So. What we know: Nearly 25 years ago, in December 1999, a paranormal research facility in Manchester, Magnus Institute, burned to the ground. Reportedly, there were no survivors.
However, this might not have been true. Let's put a pin in it for the moment.
On a dark and rainy night on 09th of March 2024, two OIAR employees (on their own time) entered the ruins and conducted a very soggy and inefficient search.
The instigator of the expedition, Samama Khalid, as a child was part of some (rather shady) program for gifted children conducted here. His hazy-yet-unsettling memories of the place had resurfaced recently, and he was determined to find some answers. The resident voice of reason, Alice Dyer, assisted him by way of holding the umbrella and trying to talk him out of the whole thing.
Before she succeeded, the following things happened:
Sam found a mystery key among the debris.
Sam successfully (eventually) broke through the door to an old office (probably owned by someone named Archibald. Ha ha.)
Sam was not careful enough walking around the rotten floor, and part of it collapsed under him.
Sam did not fall into the hole, thanks to quick reflexes of Alice, who pulled him back.
Sam did, however, drop the hard-won key into the newly created hole.
Sam gave up, and agreed to leave.
And now we return to our pin. Because down below the rotten floor of the office, something did survive. It heard the key falling down. It managed to find it, and fumbled in the darkness to fit it in the lock. It unlocked the padlock. It opened a trapdoor. It breathed free air for the first time in decades.
After 25 years of imprisonment, the Ę̴̊̆R̶̗̟̝̒͛̈́̍R̵̛̯͍̠̗Ö̴̮̤́́R̴̞͍̲̞̐̓́͠ͅ ̸̡̫̣̟̏̊̇̍͜ ψ walks free.
Unnoticed by all, a lonely tape-recorder hidden somewhere in the office keeps spinning its tape.
Thus concludes the thrilling Saturday Night adventure.
I... Have Questions. Not many, but pressing ones.
The most pressing one is WHY did you crazy kids go to explore literal crumbling ruins at night? Urbexers do it for 'vibes' and 'clout' (and they don't always come back with the same number of eyes they went in with), but why would you? What made you think it was a good idea to look for clues in the feeble light of torches? Why? Just… WHY? (And why a work night? Did you take a day a night off? Are you exploring on company time? Couldn't you wait till Sunday morning?)
Another good one: does Alice really believe this is a dead end (haha) and can't be bothered with it, or is she dragging Sam away because she knows something's there, and doesn't want her baby shrimp anywhere near it?
And finally – what did they just unleash on the world? My first thought was "one of those gifted kids did not make it back home," and that's as far as I'm willing to let that thought go for the moment. Another one was: "what magical monstrosity did they create in the Artefact Research"? And another: "holy shit, it's been 25 years. How sane is ERROR after all that time (assuming it was sane to begin with)? (I know there are clues on RQ's backstage page, where the casting calls dwell, but going there feels like cheating, so I won't. Today).

u may have answered this already but. if danny n tim are both around. how. how exactly does danny come to even be in a position to work at the institute in the first place.
follow up there’s that interaction between jon n martin in s3 where martin mentions hannah and her baby. my question is. is danny the type to make gifts for new mothers. And if so. Is it bee themed
1. After Danny's lil excursion, he ends up staying with Tim for emotional support as he tries to do some research to figure out what happened to him, has it happened to anyone else, what the fuck, etc. He's less looking for revenge and more just looking to make sense of things. Tim, who Didn't get his own glimpse of Grimaldi in this au, is there trying to tell him not to let it consume him and hoping he finds another hobby to distract him. He's very out of his element in trying to help Danny in this situation because something this serious has never Happened before with Danny. He's mostly just housing and feeding him and fruitlessly telling him to go to bed at a reasonable time.
Danny's research turns up very little, until he finds The Magnus Institute, which looks Very Promising. Unfortunately, he needs fancy credentials to get access to stuff, and he Doesn't Have That. Tim, despite his degree, doesn't either. He would need a job there to gain access, but that Also requires credentials (but less)(you gain your spooky credentials there, he figures) soooo.... he fakes his CV (he and Martin are gonna bond so hard) and gets the job in research behind Tim's back, and when Tim finds out he is So Stressed but also can't really stop him so just tells him to be careful.
In short, figuring out what happened to him basically became Danny's new Thing after urbex, and Tim has never been able to stop him from doing these things.
2. He totally would make gifts for new mothers and I think he'd WANT to make it bee themed, but would only do so if it fit the baby's aesthetic (like some people do forest themed baby rooms (bees would work) and others do like. Ocean (bees would Not work))
He would crochet a stuffie, or sew a lil onesie I think. Maybe make a blanket if he had the time. A lil hat, even.
#fg's answers#asks#tma#tim stoker tuesday#feat danny#stoker swap au#cursing#i love answering these kinds of questions cuz they get me closer to Writing or at least drawing more of this au#they get me THINKIN ABOUT IT!!

man if I wasn’t a puss I’d be so into urbex. I live like 30 minutes away from this enormous, gorgeous, mostly abandoned old psychiatric institution. The girl I was best friends with in high school actually broke into it a couple times (she was a photographer). I’d love to see that shit on the inside

so i think it's clear that Jonny Sims is interested in urban exploration, right? there have been at least two archives episodes about it off the top of my head, including the very plot relevant one involving Tim's brother, plus technically most of what Melanie did for Ghost Hunt UK was breaking and entering, and then in the very first episode of protocol there was another urbex statement specifically about the institute, and then what were Sam and Alice doing in episode 10? there's a lot. and look, i can't knock it, it's fantastic for building a horror setting. i really like all of those statements!
but the moment i learned there was a Mr Blobby parody waiting in the wings, i had a suspicion. see, there are these disastrous abandoned "theme parks" (though i use that term loosely) all known as Blobbyland, which i've heard are pretty popular with urban explorers. and episode 10 actually namedrops Bonzoland. so... it is my belief that the entire creation of Mr Bonzo is, in fact, simply a longcon devised by Jonny Sims to get Rusty Quill to cover the costs of his business trip to break and enter into Blobbyland. for research purposes, of course.
#not @ing jonny but if you're lurking in the tag and see this... i'm onto you#tmagp#the magnus protocol

Dans les années 50 sert il est transformé en maison de retraite puis d'institut médico-pédagogique de 1962 à 1980. Jusqu'à la fin des années 1980, il servait, a priori, à accueillir des patients souffrant de maladies rares. En 1990, il est racheté par la Ville de Dreux. "En juin 2016, un jeune homme de 19 ans fait une chute mortelle dans l'un des bâtiments les plus hauts du sanatorium. Après une marche blanche, la mairie annonce des mesures d'urgence afin d'empêcher l'accès au site. Depuis 2021, des murs en tôle entourent l'ensemble du site". Un projet de réhabilitation avec un budget de 100 millions d’euros d’investissement devrait accueillir des appartements familiaux, un hôtel, un restaurant, spa etc. A priori les travaux ont commencé. The sanatorium was designed by architects Georges Beauniée and André Sarrut, between 1928 and 1932. In the 50s it began to become out of time and was closed in 1990.

Until the late 1980s, it was used, a priori, to welcome patients suffering from rare diseases. In 1990, it was bought by the City of Dreux. "In June 2016, a 19-year-old falls to death in one of the sanatorium’s tallest buildings. After a white march, the town hall announces emergency measures to prevent access to the site. Since 2021, sheet metal walls have surrounded the entire site". A rehabilitation project with a budget of 100 million euros of investment should accommodate family apartments, a hotel, a restaurant, spa etc. A priori work has begun.

Negli anni '50 fu trasformato in casa di riposo e poi in istituto medico-pedagogico dal 1962 al 1980. Fino alla fine degli anni '80, veniva utilizzato a priori per accogliere pazienti affetti da malattie rare. Nel 1990 fu acquistato dalla città di Dreux. "Nel giugno 2016, un ragazzo di 19 anni cade a terra in uno degli edifici più alti del sanatorio. Dopo una marcia bianca, il municipio annuncia misure di emergenza per impedire l'accesso al sito. Dal 2021, pareti di lamiera circondano l'intero sito".

Do you have any recommendations for urban exploration channels? Some of the good ones I used to watch stopped posting years back (one was exploring areas close to reaction sites like chernobyl and showed off how nature was taking back that space, but stopped uploading cause i think someone snitched on them) and there's too many of those 'EXPLORING ABANDONED MENTAL INSTITUTION AT 3AM' shit.
Exploring the Unbeaten Path - Thumbnails are mildly clickbaity but the content isn't bad at all
The Proper People - Probably the first Urbex people I watched, really like their stuff.
Bright Sun Films - Just incredible, documentary style videos, not just abandoned stuff but bankrupt projects etc
Bros of Decay - Cringe name but good content, documentary style, goes into history and everything
Urbandoned - British specific, pretty nice
Urbex Indigo - Mostly little houses/residental locations, smaller channel but nice
Broken Window Theory - Somewhat clickbaity presentation but good documentary style content in their videos.
If you know any more I'd love to see :)
The Urban Exploration Resource might be a good start for looking up specific places -- they don't have videos so you'd have to search the location name into Youtube.

INSTITUT DE PATHOLOGIE
In the late 1870s, the student population of Leuven increased dramatically. As a result, the scattered buildings, where medicine was taught, no longer sufficed. The law stipulated that the university had to have sufficient rooms for practicals and laboratories. To meet the need to build new, adapted infrastructure, the university purchased a large domain from a noble family. This domain was behind the existing hospital.
Thanks to a donation from the ultramontane bishop of Liège, the project could start that same year. A young professor affiliated with the Faculty of Applied Sciences was called upon for the design. Shortly thereafter, the building permit was approved by the city. Less than a year later, in 1877, the new institute was inaugurated with great pomp and circumstance.
The institute was built in neo-Gothic style and included an auditorium for 200 students with an adjoining dissection room. The campus was directly connected to the hospital via the garden. Over the years, the complex was expanded with more auditoriums, laboratories and dissection rooms.
The building has been largely empty for several years. Until recently, the pathology institute was still partly in use. Demolition works on the site started at the end of 2019.
