Old covington convent

Hi everyone,

This is my first post, I've been doing UE for a while and finally decided to start taking pics and posting some stuff. I figure this old convent in my area (slidell/covington/mandeville) would be a good place to start.

Location Description (copied from another site):
This place has been abandoned to the lack of nuns. It was originaly est in 1913 and was abandoned in 1990 due to the nuns that were living there were getting too old and could no longer maintain the place. This is the building everyone calls the Old SSA building but is not a SSA school at all and never was.


First off, introductions...this is me

Looks like an interesting spot. When you cut your hand on that window was it already broken or was that a modification you made with the Mag-Lite?

I just read about this today, supposedly it's haunted. I like the pics, especially the altar. I rarely venture to the Northshore, but I have a friend from Covington who might be interested in a little UEing. Thanks for the inspiration!

Nice location, thanks. The noose? Yeah, that's creepy. Kinda makes me wonder if its for effect, or for more real purposes.

I was wondering that myself. It looks like there's a crate underneath it to stand on...which is also kind of creepy.

Me and medic where just there on Wednesday and you can tell it was hung by kids. It was not even a real hangman noose knot. Not to ruin all the fun though.
