Hey guys there is an abandoned wheelchair factory in mount vernon N.Y. if you guys are interested also an abandoned hospital in portchester N.Y. 20 mins away from the wheelchair factory I'm also an explorer and enjoy all your content Hope to hear from you soon I enjoy all your videos
@@nataliecourage7170 yeah i'm gettin fed up with them too...always asking for money and never responding to comments unless you join their channel for 4.99 a month
Regarding the curved rooms, it was a common belief that disease hid in corners. As such, medical facilities were constructed with curves to prevent diseases from hiding.
The psych ward of my local hospital has similar hallways. Tge ceiling isn't curved, but the hallway itself is. It's so the patients don't have this endless dreadful hallway to walk through. It's supposed to be better for them mentally. Not sure if that's the case here too...
It's also the subconscious knows corners are harsher/harder than a curve & they help sooth the mind. Probably also to do with evolutionary survival mechanisms, can see further with a curve than a corner so the mind gives a sense of safety.
I would just like to say, thank you for putting the child's picture back on the wall. I really appreciate the fact that y'all try to leave things undisturbed. It breaks my heart to watch these videos and see the vandalism... These are like, time capsules... Don't destroy it.
Olivia I don’t understand how you people who have attitudes with someone that’s happy that people are being respectful and not ignorant fools who destroy property🙄
The box at 3:20 is a box where you test your hearing. It is why it soundproof. Ive done it myself. You get headphones and then they play sounds in diffrent hertz and you should press a Button when you hear it :)
That's what it is. Why is it there? Maybe it was used in reverse. To keep the insane rantings of a patient INSIDE, rather than keeping noise OUT. Hmm... It does have a latch inside, though. I think it was just dumped there.
Fun fact: I searched the medicines in he cabinet at 17:52, and I found: Nicholin: a substance called citicoline, it’s naturally produced by the human body and increases dopamine receptor densities. It’s apparently mostly used as a dietary supplement though. Maalox: magnesium hydroxide and dried aluminum hydroxide gel. Used to treat heartburn. Paracetamol: in the back, the blue dropped box. For fever and mild pain. Urotractin: apparently for intestinal and urinary tract infections.
This feels like your typical scary asylum, except that it isn't. This place is a lot weirder and sinister like one of you guys said, not in a "spooky, creepy dolls and ghosts way", but in a psychological way. It's not inherently scary, but every little detail gives you a feeling of dread without being overly dark with blood stains and bodies.
It makes you think, is what it does. At what people have done to other people, because people didn't know better. Not that I think we've really evolved that much today, not after experiencing a familymembers time in 2 general mental wards and 2 depression wards.
@@Lornelth I recognized it immediately, having taken mechanical drafting at a technical school so I could be paid for making my own drawings for construction articles. I studied under a grant, which even paid for a drafter, or draftng machine, for me to use at home. (I was the oldest student in the class, mid-30s, among kids just out of high school.) The first article I sold to one of the magazines was done using a scale rule and machinists' square, on typing paper and ballpoint. They paid someone to _trace_ my drawings, which meant less money for me. From then on, I submitted my own, in ink, and increased my payments by about a third. Very satisfying, to say the least!
Same... 😪. I only feel it because, like, people went here and were abused and tortured, and some even died. It gives me mixed emotions, really; sad that people died, yet happy to see it out of use.
@ipenipubodo you are strange🙄 there was people back then who were gay secretly who had normal lives!! Who didn't get put into mental asylums. So you talk SHIT. People like you with tiny little brains are the problem in this world!
Its really heartbreaking that children with disorders like Autism, ADHD, & OCD were locked away in places like this with horrific treatments and parents who were told that their child would never be (mentally) right and to just walk away and forget they existed.
I'm glad I wasn't born during that time period because I have mild autism and I tend to act younger than my age. I'd probably end up in one of these asylums.
I’m just…wow…I’ve got ADHD and Dyslexia and was diagnosed when I was 6, if I wasn’t born when I was there is a huge chance I would have been put into a place like this…and honestly that scares the s..t out of me 😢, I’m definitely not the worst with my ADHD but the fact that just being diagnosed with it would label me as “broken, mentally unstable, not fit for the common folk”…it’s just…it’s just a real eye opener and my heart goes out to those who had to live in places like that. 🥺
This place has to be the creepiest place you've filmed. It also seems very sad how they treated the patients. Some people with mental illnesses are not even aware they need clinical help and to thrust them into the methods the doctors used must have been a living hell. But great video guys, you never disappoint.
You are right about certain mental patients not being aware of they are illness. For example with schizophrenia, people usually don’t know that they are sick. A leading physician on a mental institution once explained that a lot of the schizophrenic patients would come to him and tell him that they could easily understand that the rest of the people at the place were ill, but said that they were not ill themselves.
@@jakeforrest duh. Most people with mental illness don't realize they do have an illness until someone tells them they do. Not just schizophrenics. That's what makes it so difficult to treat a person or for the patient to possibly get better somehow.
yeah but with out em our prison systems are filling up, where theyre arguably treated worse. or theyre on the streets, homeless, and not able to function.... double edged sword
Adrienne Gurge im so so sorry that you had to be put through that. Im glad that you are doing well now and are happier than you were. I read the other guys comments and it made me mad that he was being ignorant towards you and others who have gone through mental illness. God bless ❤️
I love how respectful you are of places and there isn't any unnecessary talking like some videos I've watched. Great job, I will definitely be subbing,
Yes, they also follow a very careful, "leave nothing but your footprints, take nothing but pictures" rule. With the exception of small and harmless things that isn't permanent or damaging.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is used to monitor the brain's electrical activity. It's commonly used in conjunction with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or commonly called shock therapy, which is an electrically induced seizure. It's used to monitor the brain's electrical functioning during the ECT session. So those printouts your were seeing were most likely records of patient's electrical brain functioning during shock therapy.
@@akanishta99 and i was pointing out that they took brain scans without ECT to determine a diagnosis of what kind of mental illness and if its physical in origin
For every "suffer" story the stigma wants folks to think. There are 100 positively amazing breakthrus in mental health that happens that no one talks about. This building was no "asylum" in its heyday... It was a state of the art hospital.
My mental health clients loved me and we'd go do stuff that made them laugh. My goal was laughter always, and they made me laugh hard! Just people with a challenge. I have mine too. I loved my clients so much.
@@wilson4328 People experiencing mental health issues are neither insane nor dangerous, and the opinion that people experiencing these problems should be hidden away in asylums is misinformed and outdated. People experiencing mental health issues are far more likely to experience abuse or violence than they are to produce it. They are no more dangerous than people without mental health issues. SSRIs are typically used to treat depression, though they have been used to treat anxiety disorders such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder and OCD as well. Given the high prevalence of these disorders in the general population and the fact that most people will experience a depressive episode during their life (after loss or during bereavement), I really think that your comment is highly misinformed and that you should do a little research into mental health issues.
I’ve watched a lot of abandoned asylum videos and this is the first one that I could actually visualize and feel the sadness and pain that went on there, it’s a really weird feeling
Can only imagine how loud it was in there at times with the yelling and screaming, the way the sound carries. Bless those poor souls, it was unfortunate enough that they were mentally challenged but to be subjected to torture, I mean treatment, on top of it, so disturbing. Wonderful photography and explore could watch this for hours you are truly Proper People rock on!
That booth thing you went in near the beginning its to test your hearing. Its soundproof and you wear these headphones that put out extremely faint beeps and you click a button whenever you hear it. At the end they tally it up and see how good your hearing is. I have to use those things once a year to test if I have gotten hearing damage.
The machine at 12:47 is used for EEG's to see if you have epilepsy, and also what the triggers are. Those whom are triggered by flashing lights are referred to as photosensitive. I myself am not and have two types of epilepsy.
Kathryn Hall seizures can result from any number of things. Severe organ damage, shock, head injury, even dehydration, but the most common seen in society is in epilepsy. epilepsy is a spike in abnormal electrical activity in the brain by things like lights and in some cases, touch. So, in essence, seizures (staring and grand-mal included) are events caused by injuries to the body as well as epilepsy, where seizures can be triggered by sounds and lights.
Fun fact Im epileptic too and like 5 years ago when I had my last examination the doctor told me: do not rest for 24 hours then come back to the hospital and we will examine you while sleeping. I did as he said and I had that sleep examination (Im greek I dont know how the machine with the electrodes that you stick in your scalp is called but thats what was attached to my head while sleeping and later on).But little did I know cause when I woke up they would hold another kind of test in which they would place a big round flashlight above my head and flash it at different speeds expecting me to get a seizure in order to record the speed of the flashing light. Of course it was a grand mal and a very unpleasant and unexpected one. But yeah similar practices are still held up to this day.
One thing I think you should mention is that while places like this did do some pretty awful things to their patients the down side is that when these places closed down those people who were clinically insane just ended up on the streets. At least here in the states they did. That is according to my parents. My grandfather spent over 30 years in the state mental hospital but died not to long after being released. My father said that they did experiments on him. But they also said that when those facilities shut down alot of those people just ended up being homeless. Also filling up jails and prisons.
that's what they did in canada too, just shut them all down as if insane people weren't an issue anymore. now they're all on the streets, drug addicts, or in jail.
you think they should mention the unconfirmed faith of the ex patients in an italian asylum, based on what you heared from your parents about places like these in the states
I had a chest drainage unit similar that one after I had surgery on my lung to clean out the crud from pneumonia. I had it for 4 days here in California and a lot of red fluid drained into it before they took out the tubes. Now you know what they are for the next time you see one. Great video as always. Been watching your videos for over 2 years.
They can also use them to collect spit from a patient who drools all over themselves due to lack of functioning (they were lobotomizing some of these poor people).
That booth 3:30 seconds in is an audiology booth. It would normally have some headphones and a handheld button inside, you press the button every time you hear a sound that plays through the headphones. The program can separate the audio between the left and right ears. In case you guys were still wondering and nobody else mentioned it. Great videos by the way.
Thank you so much for not being the type of explorers who move/destroy things. It is so admirable that you guys respect the history and leave things in their place for the next person who may encounter these abandoned historical places.
I love your videos guys! But I would have appreciated it if you had mentioned that "electroshock therapy" (now electroconvulsive therapy or ECT) is still in use today, but is not the barbaric version that the early asylums used. Now it is done in a completely different way, in actual hospitals with scientific backing, while under anesthesia and is not at all painful. It has saved many lives, including my own. Just wanted to mention it so the treatment gets less of a stigma! Again, love your videos!!!
Anonymous Me I had it done to try and help with my depression. It didn’t have any effect on my depression, I just ended up being traumatized by it, so we decided to discontinue it. It does seem to help many other people though!
I had it to try and treat my depression. I don’t think it helped, though it didn’t have any negative effects. I did end up in recovery less than six months later however, so whether it was successful or not I can’t definitively say
Brilliant video very well edited as always. Loved the uncomfortable sounds of the graphs going through the machines merged over the slider cinematics. Clever way of thinking, definitely bringing an uneasy atmosphere to the exploration. Top work!
When I owned a used bookstore, one of my advertising slogans was: "Any book is new if you haven't read it." The same holds true for videos. I just found this one and it's as fascinating as the more recent ones. During the earlier portions, with you two walking down the halls and peering into rooms, I flashed to the asylum scenes in "Amadeus," but later I flashed on "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"---with a dash of "Frankenstein!" I liked that you didn't resort to click bait, unlike even my favorite Baltimore Urbexer: this place really is creepy! I like your style and content. You move slowly but steadily, close in when necessary, and keep things quiet---unlike your younger brethren, who like to bomb us with---may I say, "noise?" I'll keep mining for other explores.
This is my first time watching a video from this channel, and I really like the way you presented it. Abandoned places always fascinate me and I'd love do some exploring myself. Thanks for posting, you did a great job!
There was a high-tech asylum near me ( it was called John Oxley Memorial Hospital in Brisbane, Australia). After it closed down, the Australian special police used it for training. It was so confusing when I went there to see what it looked like, it was a circular building. All I was told was, if a bed can be moved they weren't that insane, if it was bolted down they were insane and suicidal, and another had 2 entrances (so 2 nurses can see the patient) and the bed was a block of cement they were really insane.
You guys had so many stunning shots!! Especially 10:59 I was expecting this to be the main menu of a horror movie. Or a sad documentary. {Play} Scenes Bonus features Set up (At the top of the screen)
They've upgraded this one ward I was on. I slept on a bed with like an inch mat for a few months, we couldn't go outside and had one window, a TV with the news on it 24/7, and a room to eat in. They now have a stimulation room and computers, thankfully. It's still grim. Prison looks like heaven on Earth. How do they manage that for inmates but can't treat patients with any respect?
This was a really nice explore of a very odd building. There was definitely a creep factor in this place, partly because of architecture, but also because of its purpose. That soundproof booth was probably for testing hearing. It is very similar to ones I’ve seen for that purpose. It is rather sad to think that beautiful architecture was put to such awful use. Thanks for sharing.🖤🇨🇦
You explore these places so respectfully, thank you for that. Most explore channels enter and crack jokes about things but you realIze that these are the places where people lived their last moment
Congratulations on such a well shot episode, guys. The segment with the photostimulator was positively Lynchian with its desynched audio, slow pan toward the machine, and the way the camera movement implied the ominous nature of the treatment there. Really well done.
I've had one of those photo electroencephalography (EEG) exams to test for seizures; it happened when I was 11 and being diagnosed with migraines. They aren't barbaric. I laid in a dark room and they flashed lights at my closed eyes. Yes, closed. The flashes through your eyelids would be enough to trigger a seizure. Then after that I fell asleep and they continued recording the EEG while I slept for a few hours to make sure no seizure activity followed. That's the test. Also, the blue brace seen beforehand isn't a child restraint but a support brace for a child that doesn't have the trunk stability to sit on their own. It would give the child a chance to sit up to play, eat, or interact with others.
That booth at 3:10 is for hearing tests. The patient would be in that booth with a set of headphones on (huge headphones that cups over your ears from the 80's) and had access to a handheld button wired to the booth. The ports on the outside would link to another room where the tester would send different pitches of sound and when the patient hears a sound, they are to press the button.
The booth is to test your hearing. You would but on headphones and listen for a beep on them. Then you would press a button in either your right or left hand to tell that you hear the sound ,and which ear you could hear it in. These booths are still used today at pre work facilities before you work in oil refineries etc etc etc.
The booth at the beginning is for conducting auditory tests. I know because I've had tests done before in the same kind of booth. They place you in the booth and play audio noises at different frequencies to see how well you can hear.
Why would 22 people dislike this video? What a building ! If this was over here in the uk it would be either trashed or set on fire by now ! So lucky you guys to explore over there, good to see an asylum with no vandalism and things still inside ! Cheers for that ! Keep up the good work
Your videos are amazing guys! Thanks for doing this, I adore watching abandoned building explorations! A question I'm curious about: do you ever take things from these buildings/malls like relics? There's so much cool stuff, like VHS tapes and old files that would be awesome to keep.
The Proper People are class acts. They never disturb anything and usually they are very knowledgeable about a lot of different things. Also have the best audio quality of the abandoned channel theme 👍
Haven’t watched one of your vids for a while but this clip reminded of how much I enjoy them. Youz did a great job and I really like how you respect the surroundings and items left behind.
It must have been a nightmare to plumb that building! Not one straight wall in there.. 2 feet of pipe, a 45.. 2 feet of pipe, another 45.. two more feet of pipe one more 45, rinse and repeat until the plumber has gone mad and becomes a permanent resident
Congrats on your 1 Million Subscriber's!!! I love watching your video's. I'm always binge watching them, can't get enough! You guys rock. Keep the abandoned videos coming
the architecture, the windows, the details are sooo beautiful! It's less chance to get crazy here then in modern prisons that have nothing for an to stumble on!
I love the phrase that you guys coined, “Crazy as a baby.” I also agree that the “modernized” sections of these beautiful old asylums are typically the ugliest parts of the asylums. It’s a shame that modern architecture is often so ugly. I’d love to see more new buildings and renovations to old buildings done in beautiful traditional styles of architecture. Traditional architecture to me refers to architecture styles prevalent before World War II. Cheap, ugly, modernized renditions of traditional architecture don’t count as actual traditional architecture.
17:35 - That was a Pleur-evac, which was used for closed chest drainage, which replaced the three-bottle drainage system (collection, water seal, and suction control).

For every "suffer" story the stigma wants folks to think.
There are 100 positively amazing breakthrus in mental health that happens that no one talks about.
This building was no "asylum" in its heyday... It was a state of the art hospital.
My mental health clients loved me and we'd go do stuff that made them laugh. My goal was laughter always, and they made me laugh hard! Just people with a challenge. I have mine too. I loved my clients so much.
I'd rather have the insane in this place than walking among us doped up on SSRI's.
@@wilson4328 People experiencing mental health issues are neither insane nor dangerous, and the opinion that people experiencing these problems should be hidden away in asylums is misinformed and outdated. People experiencing mental health issues are far more likely to experience abuse or violence than they are to produce it. They are no more dangerous than people without mental health issues.
SSRIs are typically used to treat depression, though they have been used to treat anxiety disorders such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder and OCD as well. Given the high prevalence of these disorders in the general population and the fact that most people will experience a depressive episode during their life (after loss or during bereavement), I really think that your comment is highly misinformed and that you should do a little research into mental health issues.
Best Explorers on UA-cam! No Clickbait shit, just awesome Lost Places Videos! Thanks guys :)
agree, best urbex channel on yt.
Definitely
Agreed and there name is not lame and doesn’t start with “exploring with”
Exploring with bullshiters is a good piss take channel out of exploring with fighters
I remember watching them four years ago and just falling in with their channel and exploring in general. Love them.
I’ve watched a lot of abandoned asylum videos and this is the first one that I could actually visualize and feel the sadness and pain that went on there, it’s a really weird feeling
Can only imagine how loud it was in there at times with the yelling and screaming, the way the sound carries. Bless those poor souls, it was unfortunate enough that they were mentally challenged but to be subjected to torture, I mean treatment, on top of it, so disturbing. Wonderful photography and explore could watch this for hours you are truly Proper People rock on!
In every video of yours I watch, I anticipate a jumpscare. Anyone feel the same?
Me! As if it might be at the end of the video or something.. 😂
yeah me too
Yes like they have people that are made to scare u
It is the music they add.
@@bradklingensmith yea same
That booth thing you went in near the beginning its to test your hearing. Its soundproof and you wear these headphones that put out extremely faint beeps and you click a button whenever you hear it. At the end they tally it up and see how good your hearing is. I have to use those things once a year to test if I have gotten hearing damage.
I've had my hearing tested in one of those as well!
The machine at 12:47 is used for EEG's to see if you have epilepsy, and also what the triggers are. Those whom are triggered by flashing lights are referred to as photosensitive. I myself am not and have two types of epilepsy.
Causing damage to see if damage is caused. Medicine isn't what it used to be.
Are there fundamental differences between seizure and epilepsy(s) , Winter Marie Kaulitz ?
Seizures are a symptom of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition whereas a seizure is an event.
Kathryn Hall seizures can result from any number of things. Severe organ damage, shock, head injury, even dehydration, but the most common seen in society is in epilepsy. epilepsy is a spike in abnormal electrical activity in the brain by things like lights and in some cases, touch. So, in essence, seizures (staring and grand-mal included) are events caused by injuries to the body as well as epilepsy, where seizures can be triggered by sounds and lights.
Fun fact Im epileptic too and like 5 years ago when I had my last examination the doctor told me: do not rest for 24 hours then come back to the hospital and we will examine you while sleeping. I did as he said and I had that sleep examination (Im greek I dont know how the machine with the electrodes that you stick in your scalp is called but thats what was attached to my head while sleeping and later on).But little did I know cause when I woke up they would hold another kind of test in which they would place a big round flashlight above my head and flash it at different speeds expecting me to get a seizure in order to record the speed of the flashing light. Of course it was a grand mal and a very unpleasant and unexpected one. But yeah similar practices are still held up to this day.
One thing I think you should mention is that while places like this did do some pretty awful things to their patients the down side is that when these places closed down those people who were clinically insane just ended up on the streets. At least here in the states they did. That is according to my parents. My grandfather spent over 30 years in the state mental hospital but died not to long after being released. My father said that they did experiments on him.
But they also said that when those facilities shut down alot of those people just ended up being homeless. Also filling up jails and prisons.
that's what they did in canada too, just shut them all down as if insane people weren't an issue anymore. now they're all on the streets, drug addicts, or in jail.
you think they should mention the unconfirmed faith of the ex patients in an italian asylum, based on what you heared from your parents about places like these in the states
My great grandma was in one too
Yup! We had a large one close in Mass and a lot of violent people were just released on the streets.
@@ujlt7198 Smith's Falls, Ont comes to mind immediately. "Treat em and street em" our governments motto.
Everytime I watch these kind of videos I always wonder what the stories are. The people. All the unfinished ghost business. Lol.
This place is absolutely stunning!! One of my favorites I think :)
The curvy ceilings and the vines all over the windows... just beautiful
And the fact that it had all those cool, old machines still inside!! Amazing
@@jennig3057 - And no graffiti .. that's a nice change too!
Part of me wants to know everything that happened here, but a big part of me doesn’t want to know at all.
I had a chest drainage unit similar that one after I had surgery on my lung to clean out the crud from pneumonia. I had it for 4 days here in California and a lot of red fluid drained into it before they took out the tubes. Now you know what they are for the next time you see one. Great video as always. Been watching your videos for over 2 years.
I was gonna say, the chest drainage tube we use on patients even today look very similiar! That tech hasn't changed much!
I’ve had those tubes, draining into little spheres, a few times. They’re sooo annoying
Getting drainage tubes pulled out, now that’s some exquisite pain!
They can also use them to collect spit from a patient who drools all over themselves due to lack of functioning (they were lobotomizing some of these poor people).
That booth 3:30 seconds in is an audiology booth. It would normally have some headphones and a handheld button inside, you press the button every time you hear a sound that plays through the headphones. The program can separate the audio between the left and right ears. In case you guys were still wondering and nobody else mentioned it. Great videos by the way.
Love the ambient scenes guys! This is why I find you two the best in the business. More ambient shots please! Keep it up.
Asbestos, and lead paint and black mold, OH MY!
caseyflorida back then they used Led Paint. It’s very dangerous to touch. The paint probably made the patients even more crazy.
They both have masks; they just don't wear them as much as they probably should.
Thank you so much for not being the type of explorers who move/destroy things. It is so admirable that you guys respect the history and leave things in their place for the next person who may encounter these abandoned historical places.
3:19. That laugh and the smudge marks on the glass gave me a total visual of some crazy dude that was locked in there at one point to “calm down”
0:02 Today, we will be exploring an abandoned Asylum that had a dark past
me: don't all Asylums have a dark past?
I love your videos guys! But I would have appreciated it if you had mentioned that "electroshock therapy" (now electroconvulsive therapy or ECT) is still in use today, but is not the barbaric version that the early asylums used. Now it is done in a completely different way, in actual hospitals with scientific backing, while under anesthesia and is not at all painful. It has saved many lives, including my own. Just wanted to mention it so the treatment gets less of a stigma! Again, love your videos!!!
May I ask, if it's not too sensitive, what were you treated for?
Or what is ECT used for these days
Me too
Anonymous Me I had it done to try and help with my depression. It didn’t have any effect on my depression, I just ended up being traumatized by it, so we decided to discontinue it. It does seem to help many other people though!
I had it to try and treat my depression. I don’t think it helped, though it didn’t have any negative effects. I did end up in recovery less than six months later however, so whether it was successful or not I can’t definitively say
Yes! Thank you for saying this! I hope you’re feeling better
Brilliant video very well edited as always. Loved the uncomfortable sounds of the graphs going through the machines merged over the slider cinematics. Clever way of thinking, definitely bringing an uneasy atmosphere to the exploration. Top work!
The big friggin spider at 10:49 freaked me out more than anything else in the video 😂
The slowmo shots in this are absolutely gorgeous!
If the walls start peeling up before your very eyes. Run. lol
It’s so weird to watch this as an Italian and be able to read all the papers you filmed in my mother language. Great video guys by the way
When I owned a used bookstore, one of my advertising slogans was: "Any book is new if you haven't read it." The same holds true for videos. I just found this one and it's as fascinating as the more recent ones. During the earlier portions, with you two walking down the halls and peering into rooms, I flashed to the asylum scenes in "Amadeus," but later I flashed on "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"---with a dash of "Frankenstein!" I liked that you didn't resort to click bait, unlike even my favorite Baltimore Urbexer: this place really is creepy! I like your style and content. You move slowly but steadily, close in when necessary, and keep things quiet---unlike your younger brethren, who like to bomb us with---may I say, "noise?" I'll keep mining for other explores.
This is my first time watching a video from this channel, and I really like the way you presented it. Abandoned places always fascinate me and I'd love do some exploring myself. Thanks for posting, you did a great job!
As a psicology student, the way
doctors used to treat patients absolutely breaks my heart
You sure about being a "psicology student" lol?
Mmm i don't get it
Psychology...
Finally an urbex channel with proper narration, proper camerawork, no shitty music but nice ambient sounds. Nice!
There was a high-tech asylum near me ( it was called John Oxley Memorial Hospital in Brisbane, Australia). After it closed down, the Australian special police used it for training. It was so confusing when I went there to see what it looked like, it was a circular building. All I was told was, if a bed can be moved they weren't that insane, if it was bolted down they were insane and suicidal, and another had 2 entrances (so 2 nurses can see the patient) and the bed was a block of cement they were really insane.
Wow how do you even find these places. I’m so glad no one has torn them down! Great video
Looks at baby crib: "Just in case you're crazy as a baby, they got you covered." - Love that quote!
16:48 that‘s actually a blood transfusion, blood turns brown-redish after being „unused“ (it‘s not actively in your blood cycle)
You guys had so many stunning shots!! Especially 10:59 I was expecting this to be the main menu of a horror movie. Or a sad documentary.

The sound of the flies when you have headphones on 🙄
+ and you're eating supper.
Exactly! I am already a bit creeped out, and then this fly sounds like its IN my ear!
I thought it was a real fly
@@cypresswillow2591 *i am hungry now*
you stop it!
"It's a skull!"
*shows an abdomen x-ray*
To be fair, you did show the skull right after :p
Not just any abdomen x-ray. If I’m not very much mistaken, that one was of a pregnant woman.
Great video guys. Hearing test booth. I’ve had to take a few in the exact type. “Raise your hand when you hear the voices... I mean the beeps”...
They've upgraded this one ward I was on. I slept on a bed with like an inch mat for a few months, we couldn't go outside and had one window, a TV with the news on it 24/7, and a room to eat in. They now have a stimulation room and computers, thankfully. It's still grim. Prison looks like heaven on Earth. How do they manage that for inmates but can't treat patients with any respect?
This was a really nice explore of a very odd building. There was definitely a creep factor in this place, partly because of architecture, but also because of its purpose. That soundproof booth was probably for testing hearing. It is very similar to ones I’ve seen for that purpose. It is rather sad to think that beautiful architecture was put to such awful use. Thanks for sharing.🖤🇨🇦
I love how real the videos are, no clickbait shit like other explore channels
the intro music is awesome, fits with the exploration vibes
You guys are very good at finding abandoned asylums with the power still on!
This reminds me of AHS season 2
Max Allen ikr 😭🤣
That was the last good one.
Dawn Has Broken Shit take.
Exactly what I'm thinking.
by far, my favorite season of ahs
Editing and sound design is exceptionally good in this one.
You explore these places so respectfully, thank you for that. Most explore channels enter and crack jokes about things but you realIze that these are the places where people lived their last moment
We still use chest tube drainage like that today. I’ve seen it on people shot or stabbed in the ER.
Congratulations on such a well shot episode, guys. The segment with the photostimulator was positively Lynchian with its desynched audio, slow pan toward the machine, and the way the camera movement implied the ominous nature of the treatment there. Really well done.
I've had one of those photo electroencephalography (EEG) exams to test for seizures; it happened when I was 11 and being diagnosed with migraines. They aren't barbaric. I laid in a dark room and they flashed lights at my closed eyes. Yes, closed. The flashes through your eyelids would be enough to trigger a seizure. Then after that I fell asleep and they continued recording the EEG while I slept for a few hours to make sure no seizure activity followed. That's the test.
Also, the blue brace seen beforehand isn't a child restraint but a support brace for a child that doesn't have the trunk stability to sit on their own. It would give the child a chance to sit up to play, eat, or interact with others.
You were lucky . So many absolutely horrifying things happened in those buildings in the 20 century. Until the 80 , these places were doom
@@besfren4910 My mother is a nurse. She was in healthcare before I was born. It was not "DOOM" or barbaric. Please stop spreading fear mongering.
@@Just1Nora once again , it depends. But in most institutions the treatment was just straight up experiments
@@Just1Nora it's not fear mongering if 90% of it was used as torture.
Of all the explorer out there, your exploration videos are the one i anticipate the most!
Hell yes! I needed this today! I'm going to stream this to my TV right now.
Janey Mack I never saw any abandoned places in Europe like that before in my life. It sure looks really creepy and spooky.

I wish I could go through the castles in Ireland. The Waterford Crystal factory would be my first stop. (I have well over 150 pieces).

Nicholin - Antidepressant treatment

That booth at 3:10 is for hearing tests. The patient would be in that booth with a set of headphones on (huge headphones that cups over your ears from the 80's) and had access to a handheld button wired to the booth. The ports on the outside would link to another room where the tester would send different pitches of sound and when the patient hears a sound, they are to press the button.
3:25 - Chamber for testing hearing. We went into one of those in the military
I bet these guys exploring these old creepy asylums have a lot of nightmares
I admire how respectful and gentle you guys are with your surroundings. Amazing channel.
The booth is to test your hearing. You would but on headphones and listen for a beep on them. Then you would press a button in either your right or left hand to tell that you hear the sound ,and which ear you could hear it in. These booths are still used today at pre work facilities before you work in oil refineries etc etc etc.
The booth at the beginning is for conducting auditory tests. I know because I've had tests done before in the same kind of booth. They place you in the booth and play audio noises at different frequencies to see how well you can hear.
Why would 22 people dislike this video? What a building ! If this was over here in the uk it would be either trashed or set on fire by now ! So lucky you guys to explore over there, good to see an asylum with no vandalism and things still inside ! Cheers for that ! Keep up the good work
back when you could tell that videos had dislikes
The names on the wall seemed like a suicide pact almost....
Where was that at
Nostalgia I think they were referring to 8:02
The word suicide was on the wall as well so probably
Jojo BEAN! It’s actually a list of football players that played for AC Milan in around the Early to mid 2000s
Kris Saint ohhh okay cool
excellent video, guys! That little "kids bikes sequence" from 11:00 on is just amazing! That could be part of a really PROPER horror movie ;-)
when you're italian and can read everything lol
Sono italiana anche io.. mi sto chiedendo che posto sia, dove si trovi
@@famineheart basta fare una ricerca veloce su Google e inserire manicomi abbandonati in Italia! Tutto qui
Macaroni Spaghetti Fettuccini Ravioli.
Okay I'll go now
Your videos are amazing guys! Thanks for doing this, I adore watching abandoned building explorations! A question I'm curious about: do you ever take things from these buildings/malls like relics? There's so much cool stuff, like VHS tapes and old files that would be awesome to keep.
That building got some curves. Lol
The Proper People are class acts. They never disturb anything and usually they are very knowledgeable about a lot of different things. Also have the best audio quality of the abandoned channel theme 👍
the writes on the wall at min 8:05 are AC Milan football players names ahaha
Giacomo Bernini this is old but do you know if it’s recent players or old ones ?
@@serendipitygate9223 From the quality of the print they looked a little old
the black parade :0 I mean like when the asylum was active old or a few years ago old
@@serendipitygate9223 1998-2005 maybe I'm not sure, but I Googled a player's name and this came out! So I guess it's a little old
@@pinkchampagne-kc6lp that was around 2002-03 I believe. Those players won the champions league.
Haven’t watched one of your vids for a while but this clip reminded of how much I enjoy them. Youz did a great job and I really like how you respect the surroundings and items left behind.
I feel sorry for everyone suffered because of these horrible places, my mum knows someone who was in a asylum
I love how they were respectful to the property and didn't try to break the stairs or move anything
For anybody wanting to watch stuff on Shudder, I recommend the show Jordskott. It's more of a mystery than a horror show but it's really good.
10:48 you can see a huge spider on the top of the window sill
If the Earth is flat, why was this asylum built this way? Checkmate flat earthers
VALENTIN VAS 🤦♀️
It was built for the mentally ill, who think the earth is round. JK.
Ever see a patient run into a corner of a wall? Isn’t pretty.
Maybe a safety concern?
No, if the earth was flat, cats would have knocked everything off of the edges by now...
It must have been a nightmare to plumb that building! Not one straight wall in there.. 2 feet of pipe, a 45.. 2 feet of pipe, another 45.. two more feet of pipe one more 45, rinse and repeat until the plumber has gone mad and becomes a permanent resident
I super respect how you guys always seem to leave places as you find them, but man, you'd catch me stuffing those skull x-rays into my bag.

Congrats on your 1 Million Subscriber's!!! I love watching your video's. I'm always binge watching them, can't get enough! You guys rock. Keep the abandoned videos coming
At 7:34 you turn the lights on and say "just curious, oh man" and you laugh followed by a faint voice saying "turn it off".
I heard it as well.
I heard that too
It was the other dude saying turn it off meaning turn off the camera light
@coitinsforyourocky its not that deep tho....
Yes i heard it but I think it’s just one of them saying that
I love this video! I think this one is one of my favorites. Keep up the good work!
Best channel on UA-cam.
Kayla Menchini-Peters you got that right!!!!
yeah.. thank god, I am not the only one then! :D
the architecture, the windows, the details are sooo beautiful! It's less chance to get crazy here then in modern prisons that have nothing for an to stumble on!
I love the phrase that you guys coined, “Crazy as a baby.”
I also agree that the “modernized” sections of these beautiful old asylums are typically the ugliest parts of the asylums.
It’s a shame that modern architecture is often so ugly. I’d love to see more new buildings and renovations to old buildings done in beautiful traditional styles of architecture.
Traditional architecture to me refers to architecture styles prevalent before World War II.
Cheap, ugly, modernized renditions of traditional architecture don’t count as actual traditional architecture.
17:35 - That was a Pleur-evac, which was used for closed chest drainage, which replaced the three-bottle drainage system (collection, water seal, and suction control).
