I'll break the first rule of story-telling and tell one of the weirdest stories right off the bat.
I don't see any photos of the building, but one of the buildings on the grounds was for teen males with behaviour problems. Don't quote me on this, but I got the impression they had been put there by court order. It was a pretty secure facility and it was a little intimidating.
Most of the rooms were pretty boring, but one room stands out. It's what I think of as "A Clockwork Orange" room. It was a room divided in two (each about 10'x15') by a wall with a door. The wall had a two-way mirror. The first room (which could be viewed) was mostly taken up by a lazy-boy recliner with a screen on the wall. The other room had a slide projector on a table.
My curiosity got the better of me and I looked at some of the slides. To say it was shocking is an understatement. Some slides were boring, like pictures of trees or cars or people in every day situations, but other pictures were of nude men, women, boys or girls. Some of the subjects were very young - definitely a pedophile's dream.
Even more interesting was a device that from what I could tell was able to indicate the state of arousal of the male watching. It was basically a free-floating bar that pivoted up or down depending.
So as far as I could tell, the room was used to show slides to the patients to determine what they found arousing and then I assume some sort of therapy was instituted.
Maybe you had to be there, but given the setting, and the atmosphere of the place it was too bizarre!
