@@CxlearExplorations Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I didn't know that, very interesting...as much as I love exploring, it's good to see some new life (not trying to be punny) come to this place; it's a beautiful old house. 👍😁

@@1988banker Maybe, been awhile since I've been in the area, but it'd be cool to climb; just have to be careful, it's in a very visible area. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

@@C4Explore Yeah, it would be cool to see what it's like up there. If it's empty, or maybe some things are still there.

@@birdnest5814 Hey, great to hear from you, thank you so much! No, I don't think they're glass mirrors, they tend to be highly polished metal bolted in the wall, perhaps with reflective tape over them. It really is crazy how the system "works"; so much waste of money and resources, while so many suffer and can't get the basics, or the help and rehabilitation they need. I thought the left behinds were pretty cool, too. Interesting to see all the books and games in the cells; newspaper clippings and pictures, and the writings on the walls. I know I'd be claustrophobic in there too, especially with a bunkmate and a slit for a window. Been a decent week here, getting cooler outside too...hope you're having a great week as well my dear friend! 👍❤️😁🙏💪

That’s interesting and those are some small cells

Thank you so much! I love exploring, but I love my faithful viewers even more! A spirometer...interesting, thank you for the info. As always I appreciate your kind words. Yeah, gotta sign the board when I can...little free advertising, and a nice way to find other explorers! I'm kinda out of content (temporarily), and I'm hoping to get out on a trip or two, but I'm saving money...got a family reunion in Missouri in October; definitely gonna explore as well. But I'll be back...have a beautiful week, be safe and take care my dear friend! 👍❤️😁🙏💪

@@rhondaz356 Yeah, we are indeed a wasteful species...seems like in many cases it's a money issue; too expensive to demolish, too expensive to reuse, but let's keep the power burning and ignore any beneficial solutions. 🤦‍♂️ I do love exploring abandoned places, but it's just frustrating and disturbing to know that even in such an...advanced society, that such destructive wastefulness is still allowed to go on. Thank you for watching and commenting, have a great week! 👍❤️😁

@@C4Explore I totally agree.😑

@@rhondaz356 Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I always love finding these mostly pristine locations...hopefully it stays that way. Have a great week, always good to hear from you! 👍❤️😁

@@C4Explore Yes,.let us hope that it remains that way. Wishing.you a lovely, safe week, too.🤗

Oh yeah, same here...walked up on a few myself thinking they were abandoned, only to find they were just really, really run down! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

@@jakethetool698 No, that would not be good! 😬

Thank you so much! You might very well have been the first; I'm proud to have walked in your footsteps. Yeah, I'd be up for a co-'splore, we should set that up! Glad you're enjoying the channel; definitely can't wait to hit this one up again! 😁👍

@@ExplorewithmeMarloC Thank you so much, I'm glad you came by!! Must obey Pedro...I would've walked the stairs if I'd had to, and it still would've been worth the spectacular views. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you again for watching and commenting; stay safe and take care my friend! 👍❤️😁🍃

@@elizabethmiller2309 Thank you so much, I appreciate it! 👍❤️😁

@@birdnest5814 Yeah, the real adventure was getting back down...I'd forgotten my entry was in the middle of the hall, and nearly panicked about the locked doors (knowing logically that they'd been locked, and that I couldn't have been locked out). Worst case scenario, there had been a broken window up there that led to the roof, with a 15-20 foot drop, could've done it but fortunately didn't have to. The medical labs were so cool! The urine samples were likely used for UTI/STD screening, or even drug testing (especially during intake, or parole hearings). I've seen jails where they have a corridor behind the cells, where (so I've been told) the "screws" can test the outflow water of each cell, in case drugs were smuggled in. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, it's always great to hear from you; hope you have a beautiful week, take care my dear friend! 👍❤️😁

@@birdnest5814 Thank you so much! I've been waiting on this one to "open up"...I was pretty shocked about the paint, too, especially with the ventilation running. I assume it was left on to preserve the building; originally it was temporarily closed due to staff shortage, but then covid happened...it had been pretty well secured for years, so only a handful of people have been inside up til now. They told me urbex would lead to prison... Glad you enjoyed this, next week will be a revisit to this one...then I need to get back out for more 'splorin! Hope you had a wonderful weekend too, and have a fantastic week! 👍❤️😁

@@rhondaz356 Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! I'll be releasing 2 more videos on this next week; I get into a bit more of the history...but this prison temporarily closed in 2019, due to staff shortages, and I'm pretty sure covid permanently closed it. I assume they left the power running to preserve the building, hoping it would eventually reopen...but for 5 years?! Even with ownership possibly changing hands, that makes no sense. Guess our taxes gotta go for something; government philosophy, if it ain't broke, fix it til it is! 🤦‍♂️ I've been waiting on this one, and it was worth it, glad I could bring it to you, hope all is well and comfortably cool with you! 😁❤️👍

@@C4Explore Ahhh, that makes sense, as to the closure. After 5 years, and some possible beginnings of natural decay, I tend to doubt it will ever reopen. Yes, typical government waste... I wonder who is paying the electric bill... 🤔🤫

@@rhondaz356 Thank you so much! This one was a holy grail for me...it closed (temporarily) in 2019, and I think covid was the death sentence. There was a bit of graffiti outside, and inmate graffiti (which I find more of in next week's episodes), but I LOVED the only natural decay (and some smashage). I also don't get not taking the equipment and supplies for future usage (especially during a worldwide pandemic), and shredding the personal information...it's just criminally wasteful and lazy. (Yet I end up in prison 😉😏🫤) Hope you've had a great weekend, and have a great week! 👍❤️😁

@@C4Explore EXACTLY, *** personal info is left behind, and you would be the one who got in trouble for walking through an abandoned building.🙃😉

@@TheLukeExplores Thank you so much! I'm so glad you stopped by, guess prison explore uploads were the rule of the day. Still can't figure out how you got in that control booth...thanks for watching and commenting, really enjoyed your livestream today! 👍😁

@@patrickkopp5792 Thank you for watching and commenting! Yeah, kinda did...that was a creepy find. 👍😁

@@birdnest5814 Hehehe, leave it to me to get lost trying to escape, after seeing a roving guard, while taking as many pics as I can, then finding something else to film even after finding a way out...and if you look out behind my car, you'll see the security truck waiting for me (though I didn't notice that til re-watching the video). I suppose a pre-war asylum just isn't an asylum without that bile green paint...really gives off that "you're here forever" vibe. Sadly, patients often didn't come here for treatment and release...it really was a lifelong incarceration. Of course overcrowding was a constant problem (Kirkbride buildings were originally designed to hold maybe 240 patients...at Trans Allegheny, the population at its peak was 2400 patients) It's horrific to think of those crammed into tiny rooms, or those alcoves, beds side by side, people crammed in like sardines; hungry, scared, and uncomfortable... Yeah, I bet that crutch would have plenty to say, that was upstairs in the patient wards. I think even the mops could tell some interesting stories! The activity room was a neat find, love those old salon chairs. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed it...really makes it worth the effort to post. I've been doing alot of hospitals, with possibly a few more to come, but next week's video will be a different type of explore (kinda). It's a location I've been waiting to get a run at, and the end result was totally worth it! Have a great week my friend, and take care! 👍❤️😁💪🌹

@@birdnest5814 It was definitely a creepy, imposing building...I've felt those oppressive, dark vibes in some places, but not so much here (possibly due to a massive surge of adrenaline). I've seen other videos of this one, and it's definitely reputed to be haunted...somewhere on the property there's supposed to be (like with many of these old asylums) a large cemetery where the deceased patients are buried; and each grave has a number rather than a name. 😔 I rather wish there'd been more leftovers, but I only did maybe half the building, and there are other buildings I missed as well. Even so, I was pleased to see all I saw, and yeah, that solarium was a real treat! Great to hear from you my friend, take care and stay well, have a great week! 👍❤️😁💪🌹

@@TheRamblersExploration Thank you so much! I'm so glad I got into this one, and that you enjoyed it...definitely always trust your gut! Hope y'all are doing well, have a great week! 👍❤️😁

@@rhondaz356 Thank you so much! Yeah, it was pretty awesome; really enjoyed my time there, and got out safely. There was more graffiti than I expected, but not nearly as bad as it could've been...seems the vandals get lazy about going upstairs. The natural decay was much more pervasive. Some areas showed signs of renovation and modernization efforts too. Hope you have a great week, good to hear from you! 👍❤️😁

@@C4Explore That makes sense.🤠🌞🔥

Love all the layers of peely paint ❤ After reading the description, I have to thank you, again for being brave enough to make these videos for us. That was a close call. It’s a good thing you look like a clean- cut, law abiding citizen, who would never do anything wrong 😁 That, and your well spoken and stay calm (on the outside) in nerve racking situations. Do you think they ran your tag? I bet they did, if they had the capability to. Stay safe, healthy, and happy, my dear friend. 😊💕🤗😎✌️🙏

@@birdnest5814 Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words, this was one for the books indeed...I'm still shocked I even attempted it, knowing the risks, and still succeeding. As another explorer said on his video of this place, to someone who asked how he pulled it off, "Skill. Timing. Balls." (Some social engineering and plausible deniability goes a long way, too 😉) I'd have to bet they ran them; out of state tags, car doesn't look abandoned (per se), and no owner in sight...I still wonder if he knew I was inside, though it's unlikely since he never asked, and probably assumed I was walking the pretty huge property. The guy was definitely security, so I'm surprised they hadn't contacted the cops, since he said they were about to have it towed... I'm glad you enjoyed this, nerve-wracking indeed, but totally worth the effort! Hope you're doing well, stay safe and take care as well! 👍❤️😁💪

@@rhondaz356 Thank you! It was cool seeing some of the furnishings; it seems like they gutted out the records, unless they were somewhere I missed...good for them on that, HIPAA would be proud. I just watched this video a bit ago, and noticed that when I show my car, you can see a white truck behind it...that was security. Fortunately he didn't know I was in the building, and ended up telling me to leave the property. Thanks again, I'm glad you enjoyed this, have a great week! 👍❤️😁

@@C4Explore I can understand why you have to keep an eye open for security.

@@aliadam575 Ohhh yeah, it's a gorgeous place, I was pleasantly surprised to find the lighthouse downtown! Thanks so much for watching! 👍😁

@@birdnest5814 Thank you so much! My next couple adventures will kinda be like this one; where, due to quirky tech issues and dopey memory loss on my part, I ended up shooting 2 or 3 videos on each site. I intend to release each set together (mostly because I don't know how to edit and splice them together). This was a fun one, lots of peely, decaying fun, and some equipment laying around. I hope you have a great day and week as well! I'll let you know...my next site should never have happened. Bravery isn't in it...I still don't know how I pulled it off (and yet, I made one assumption that was wrong). Definitely stay tuned for it, and be wearing shoes, cause it's apt to knock your socks off! 😁❤️👍

@@birdnest5814 Thank you so much! Yeah, my quirkiness knows no bounds...I almost wanted to shoot the entry, but nobody needs to see that (That's what the 3 stooges are for 😉). I really loved this one; a nice trade off, not so much equipment though the wheelchair was great, but lots of overgrowth and decay without too much smashage. Just the architecture was pretty amazing, the quad and cage were my favorite, too. I'm glad I found that sticker, too, it's my pleasure to give credit to other explorers and UA-camrs, so many great channels out there, it's nice to have that sense of camaraderie and community in a hobby. I'm doing pretty good, hope you are too, and hope you've had a wonderful weekend! Just got back from my 2nd visit to an epic explore, so I'm happy to have some good content coming up, that I think my wonderfully faithful viewers will enjoy. 😉😁❤️👍

@@rhondaz356 Thank you for joining up once again (and from a safer, less asbestos and mold riddled vantage)! I know I'll never get the appeal of the smash and tag thing...about as close as I, and most real explorers get is writing on a chalkboard. Even then I feel almost bad about that. Kinda cool to see little stickers or mementos left by other explores (like Ms Marlo), though. Hope you have a great week, thanks again for coming by, I'll see you on the next one (and it's pretty crazy)! 😁❤️👍

@@C4Explore AMEN👏🏻👏🏻

@@rhondaz356 Thank you so much! This seemed like a good mix of things to see; not alot of excessive graffiti, beautiful natural decay, some, but not tons of rotting equipment, (and politely complacent security 😉). I feel like I might return to this one... Ahhh, 1991, I was 13, living in Kansas City, and never knew this was destined to be my hobby (plus there was no UA-cam and the cell phones were HUGE!) Hope you're doing well and have a great weekend; see you on the next adventure! 👍❤️😁

@@C4Explore well said 👏🏻🌞

Yes in 2:23 they are medicine cups and they're used to hold pills in to give to the resident. Usually the nurses/ med techs would use these.

​@@katiemorrison8738 Ohhh, thank you! I figured they were something medical related...it's been awhile since I was there, but I don't recall seeing anything in the washer and dryers. Thank you for watching and commenting! 👍😁

@@birdnest5814 Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this; when I reviewed it, I was more pleased with it than I thought...I'd agree, shadows are better than oversaturated lighting. Thank you for the info about TB; I wasn't sure about how old the equipment was, or what the name of the drug was. Yes, I do remember Little House on the Prairie, though I didn't watch it much, but my dad did...I recall the little girl who went blind from (I think) scarlet fever. Glad you like my humor, it's definitely a stress reliever, it can be hard to manage situational awareness, stealth, anxiety, excitement, and video shooting all at the same time, while providing entertainment and information at the same time...ahhh, coping mechanisms 😵‍💫🙃. I had to laugh later, seeing the basement light, hearing the noises, and the creepy factor adding up, but I just kept going. Got out unscathed, except some poison ivy from climbing the wall (I hadn't identified it til I was mostly over the wall). Thank you for your kind words, I love hearing from you (and the sheet suggestion was hilarious 😂), hope you have a great week, and are staying cool and hydrated in this heat. I'll see you on the next one my awesome friend! 👍❤️😁

@@rhondaz356 Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Really happy this video came out decently; there were lots of frightening moments and risks...seeing the lights in the basement and hearing the beeping about ended it for me (I act brave but my anxiety is constant 😵‍💫😉). I'm guessing this place was definitely beautiful back when, it's sad that it has to rot away, but the natural decay and overgrowth was an awesome sight. Hope you have a great weekend, and stay cool in this heat! 👍❤️😁

@@walkingcam1 Hey, good to hear from you! Yeah, it's unfortunately a pretty blown out location, but I didn't run into any issues.

@@C4Explore 👍stay safe!

@@birdnest5814 Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! This was indeed a fun one, I've gotten rather lucky in my last few explores. Hope you're doing well my friend, see you on the next one! 👍❤️😁

@@TheRamblersExploration Thank you so much, great to hear from you! It's definitely worth the trip; and probably a revisit sometime. 👍❤️😁

@@rhondaz356 Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, the graffiti was unfortunate...I'd definitely rather do an untouched location, but if it's gotta have graffiti, let it be artistic rather than just tags and offensive junk. As much as it's interesting to find left over equipment and stuff, I do hate how wasteful it is, especially in a world where so many go without, and really shouldn't have to. And it's always nice to meet people who can provide info about these historic places (and don't make me leave). Have a great week, hope you've been doing well! 👍❤️😁

@@C4Explore I totally agree. Other than the muggy weather, I'm fine. I hope that you, are too. 🏚🏚👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 💚🥵

@@rhondaz356 I'm doing ok, though definitely hot and humid here too...I suppose I'd take heat over cold, but mild, moderate temps would be perfect. 🙂

@@wellsmiller8015 Thanks man, good to hear from you! Got a new phone last year when my old one died, so I lost your number... Got a few more coming out soon, been having some wild adventures lately. Hope all is well with you, we gotta do some more exploring again. 👍😁

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! Hope you're having a great weekend my friend! 👍🙂

Thank you so much, it's good to be back...so far I have 2 definite releases, and at least 1-4 'splores planned. Yeah, this was a pretty basic explore, not alot to show off, but it was cool to revisit and video. It's a pleasure to hear from you again; I hope you've been doing well and staying cool. I'm working this weekend, but that's okay, hope you're having a great weekend, take care my friend! 🙂❤️👍🎆☀️

Thank you so much, great to hear from you! I think I know the other explorer you're referring to...I try to be discreet, but this is a rather well known location; I'm pretty shocked it's still standing (or so far as I know from when I shot this about a year ago). I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a fun little place to check out. Hope you're doing well, and have a great weekend! 🙂❤️👍

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it...that boiler room was my favorite too! Hope you're doing well. 👍❤️🙂

Indeed you did tell me, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it; have a great day friend! 👍🙂
