Weston State Hospital in Weston, WV. Here are a few shots from my recent visit to TALA. I must admit, I had a great time here on the photographers tour. I would strongly recommend this tour to any of you.
We had great liberties to wander about freely as long as we stayed in the same building and moved as a group from one building to another. We got to shoot the Kirkbride, The super decayed Women's Auxiliary building, the Medical Building, the Forensics building, the Geriatric building, the greenhouse and of course the exteriors.
Here ya go...

You do have some stellar shots there, man, but seriously???
PAYING $100 (even if it were $1, it's about the principle)
to go in and photograph the place? That is absurd.
That tour better include a buxomly beautiful, naked Swedish girl with a basket
of candy and Belgium beer... even then I would MAYBE, POSSIBLY consider
giving someone my hard earned money so that I can go about and do
what I do on a regular basis for FREE.

Applejacks, it was $150 for 8 hours. I found it worthwhile, imagine photographing and not have to constantly be aware of every little noise, walking in front of a window, making too much noise, none of the "paranoia" of security or the cops showing up randomly...

Well, I understand what you are getting at. Having visited enough truly abandoned hospitals, hotels, industrial sites, etc. I also needed something to fill a day on a long weekend with my wife that satisfy my desire for photographing an "abandoned" building and her desire to hang out with me and be safe as she is not an explorer or a photographer. So this sort of thing was the best of both worlds for us.
If it was just me, I never would have gone...but, the main building is a kirkbride.
