UA-cam decided there was no rush to process 4K and is taking its time. We're hoping that it's available somewhat soon.
Edit: 2 weeks later, and no 4K. UA-cam did us dirty. Ironically this is the first upload shot with the new upgraded cameras.
Yep, hate it when i cant watch your videos in 4k, ive actually been done exploaring in my area too! Going to a giant abandoned mill soon
Thanks for what you do!
Nothing wrong with 1080p
Yeah ok
Same shit happen to me last week.
These guys are so respectful. They’re really doing a public service, preserving the memories of these cultural landmarks before they’re lost forever.
I love your videos. I am a retired Registered Nurse, working in hospital acute care from 1971 to 2016.Your hospital explorations really speak to me, having worked in the settings shown so well in your videos. The bone stretcher went out of use before my time, thank goodness. I never saw a bath slab either. Keep on exploring! This from an old lady who could be your grandmother.
I was SO curious about the bath slab! I can't find much online about why it was made/used (water saver?)
@@TheStorytellersBox From what I found on line they placed the patient on the slab and washed them down. What I can't figure out is how they placed the patient on the slab if they couldn't get up on the table by themselves.
I guess they could use a sling lift made out of plastic. It was before my time so I am curious too.
Wow, almost 50 yrs as a nurse? That's impressive! I'm sure your work helped a lot of people. 👍🏼
@@TheStorytellersBox People were manually lifted onto the slab by one or two caregivers, depending on patient size, shape, and staff availability. A mechanical lift was used if available however even though it was easier on the back it took more time to set up so many staff still opted to manually lift to save time. The short sides made an almost lateral transfer possible as well as making it easy to reach the person during bathing. Some later slabs had the capability to be raised or lowered. You could walk all around the person or have a caregiver on each side with easy access. Another benefit was that after bathing you could dry the slab and put dry towels under the person and dress them before transferring them to their w/c. Also these slabs were often used for changing the disposable briefs of incontinent people who needed washing up. The slabs were slightly angled down toward the drain end and this prevented the waste and water from running back on the person if you were really careful. A spray hose was used for washing and I know this sounds barbaric but there are techinques for using these slabs that can make the bath much less uncomfortable than you might imagine. But that's a different lengthy comment...
Thank you for your service. My first brush with nurses, hospitals, and operations thereof was in 1945, when I was hit by a car. I still vaguely remember traveling on gurneys up and down hallways, in and out of elevators, all the while feeling the drafts of March weather. My right femur was broken and my impression, before the anesthetic took hold, was that they'd laid me on some sort of rack, very uncomfortable. The break was clean, but the broken ends had passed each other, so they drilled holes in my tibia and pelvis, inserted stainless steel pins, and attached "horseshoes" to the pins' so they could apply traction to pull the broken pieces apart to line them up. I was encased in a plaster cast from the base of my toes to my armpits, with an opening at the crotch. Comfy! We celebrated my fifth birthday in the ward, with the nurses attending, and I didn't mind a bit that a nurse or nurses would come around at lights-out, to kiss me goodnight (I came from a very affectionate family). I've had surgery for a pilonidal cyst, perforated diverticulitis, a nephrectomy (cancer of the right kidney), and half-hip replacement and it has always been the professionalism and compassion of the nurses that made my hospital stays bearable. Even now, I have a "Dream Team" of RNs helping me to cope with Old Age. Bless you all! Stay safe.
That hydrotherapy tub would be great to have as a jacuzzi in the garden.
Both my elementary and middle school were built in the early 60s and had many of these same features. Those glossy pastel tiles are in nearly every school memory I have.
Haha same here
My old elementary school had those glossy tiles everywhere. The bathrooms were the green ones and the pink ones, the hallway walls were the yellow ones, etc. I love them so much for how ugly they are
Same.
@@aesxop The fully tiled walls freak me out,don't know why,just do lol
Yeah, my grammar school AND my college both have those pastel blocks lol. The green ones were the most common, followed by the blue, then brown/beige. I never saw pink
"Why would someone take that grates?"
Cursed BBQ grates.
I worked at a medical facility that was always upgrading equipment. I now have several of the finest medical grade stainless steel BBQ grates known to man.
At 30:53, the grate is on the floor through that door. At least it's a grate of some sort.
@@johniwan1 oh god what the fuck
Mmmm nothing like the smell of old people's blood and gut juice smoke in the mornin
scrappers are always looking for this kind of stuff, based on what scrap prices are bringing, and can be easy to remove
Whoever was doing the graffiti in the first building must have the IQ of a doorknob.
As does anyone who does Graffiti.
@@Cthulhoop Na, I know a couple actual artists. They have respect and they don't just tag to deface and rebel against their parents. lol
that's disrespectful to doorknobs

Exploring a hospital _"Very medical in here"_
Each and every one of your videos I’ve watched are amazing and very will documented. So thank you for being as safe and as thorough as you can when you’re filming and please continue to stay safe!
Dress like you're OSHA workers, any workers that see will go out of their way to avoid you. Great channel, content, style, editing..... keep on keeping it proper.
Will you be covering their legal fee's if they're prosecuted for impersonating a federal employee?
Great idea until the site foreman goes looking for you and or the osha inspectors see you also and bring you up on charges..
@@ddylla85 seriously people keep forgetting this is all very illegal yet they complain about a dick on a wall
I liked this then the grownup part of my brain said, that’s probably fraud
@@Shitty796 well I am not fond of the grafitti myself.
It's weird that my middle and high school were built in the mid 90's and yet they were fitted with the same clocks shown at 15:15. Made the school look much older than it was lol
Just wanted to say that I love all the places you two go. Always interesting. Often learn something too. Thanks for doing what you do!
Yet another awesome video. You two are my favorite urban explorers! These videos are so well filmed and edited, and I love how you guys give a quick history lesson on the locations, too. :)
Loved hearing the excitement of you guys finding all the medical equipment ❤ great video love the cinematography ❤
The big, odd shaped hydrotherapy whirlpool tub is known as a Hubbard Tank. It is for full body ROM, oftentimes for burn patients. I believe debridement would sometimes be performed.
I recall learning about this when I was a nursing student, many moons ago.
I learned I wasn’t cut out to be a nurse, however.. 💉💉 eww! Needles!!
Great video guys, cant believe how much the hydrotherapy tub would cost to fabricate, all in stainless steel.
That's fascinating about the bone stretcher. Always appreciate it when you guys add info you didn't have on hand at the time.
It's funny. I know what state you guys are in by the assortment of different bird calls I heard throughout the video. Top notch video!
I really hope their vid be so popular that it becomes a tv show series
Back in the day up into the 90s patients were in wards with 4to 6 beds in one large room.I worked at Parkland and the hospital built onto the old building then the rooms were semiprivate.We had to takes bodies down to the morgue and place them in a huge freezer.The ME was next door and did autopsies there.I enjoyed this place with the hydrotherapy and traction apparatus.
The RV is probably being used as an office.
I was just about to come down and say that. My Aunt had an old trailer that she donated to be used as a mobile sight office for Habitat for Humanity.
Nope someone lives there actually. I’ve had a run in with them once at this hospital
@@silenceoftheabandoned5006 No problem. I did say probably.
All of you’re videos brings back memories because I was in these places
I actually love watching videos of old abandoned hospitals and seeing all the old equipment. I worked in hospitals in the 70's. In 1962, I was a child in the hospital as a patient and back then there were hospital wards, with multiple patients in one large room. No private rooms. I remember the head of the beds had to be rolled up with a crank at the end of the bed. Hospitals have certainly changed since way back then. Awesome video. The only thing I really found displeasing was the use of the foul language. I just donot see a need for that type of language when filming these videos. You appear to be educated and very knowledgeable. And when using that language it gives the impression of quite the opposite. Thanks for sharing the video. You guys really do a very good job of filming.
P€a¢€~n~£0v€ ✌🏻
That Was much needed today. Thank you. Me and the kids always love watching your videos. Its always relaxing
Slab baths were used when a patient came in contaminated with chemicals or exremely muddy or maybe second degree burns and had to have their clothing removed. and also to bathe and scrub patients that came in covered in vermin.
as a teenager, had a friend who was stung by a man o war on the beach at Galveston. When we took him into the hospital, he was placed on one of these tables to have his face rinsed (a Lot of sand was on his face) I asked an RN I babysat for and she explained what the table was for.
Cystoscopy (sis-TOS-kuh-pee) is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the lining of your bladder and the tube that carries urine out of your body (urethra). A hollow tube (cystoscope) equipped with a lens is inserted into your urethra and slowly advanced into your bladder
I don’t typically like graffiti but this was some of the funniest stuff I have seen
Those radiant ceilings also did cooling.
Awesome tile work on the walls
Re. projection room. Take care, those old projectors would be likely to contain asbestos. The two pairs of small projection and viewing ports were for two film projectors, as you could see. The spoolboxes could hold 2000 feet of film so the changeovers would be every twenty minutes or so. The carbons in the arc lamps could probably run two twenty minute reels before they needed to be changed, but weird probably need to be adjusted between reels as the feed mechanism probably couldn’t feed the full length of a carbon in one go. Later some large lamps were built taking very long positive carbons which could burn for up to an hour in one go.
The large port to one side would have been for a follow spot, which was quite likely never installed.
that clock looks like every clock i saw in school growing up in the 80's-90's how is that retro?
Cyst means bladder .and scope means to examine (with a medical instrument).
Correction: scopy
i’ve been watching you guys since i was 12! i’m now a senior in highschool
I have pictures of the iron lungs!
Been a fan since 2016. You guys rocks!
I used to work with film development equipment like that. Don’t miss the smell at all.
There is a 508 area code on the wall in the entryway to the third building. This is in southeastern Massachusetts.
You’re the real MVP.
is the building structurely solid we need a place for the co vid and why not senior center
You guys should do a video on the Plaza Tower in New Orleans
Hey guys my name is Chuck I live in West Virginia just wanted to let you know in this video you were talking about the bone stretcher they do exist I had one used on me at physical therapy two years ago. They were stretching my body because my vertebrae‘s needed separated because it was making My back hurts. But after about 10 minutes I made them take me out because I panicked. Lmao. Anyways guys I love your videos I watch them all the time.
All the time I have the wish to listen to your title music ...... 😅😅💕💕💕💕👌👌👏👏👍👍
The area reminds me of Pripryat, after the Chernobyl disaster
@30:53 the table grates are on the ground on the bottom left
You found a pair of gas autoclaves. Not all are steam (spin handles).
yall look so cool with long hair
Love your videos
Aren't you guys worried about contracting something in the abandoned hospitals, etc you explore?! No gloves? Boots (waterproof) not sneakers.
I worked in a hospital ER for years. Just saying, be careful when exploring. P.S. (Hepatitis!?!)
Buildings are an interesting creation. They are designed and made for the time, and as that time goes by, it is noticed that the building is now to large, or it to costly to maintain and operate, and the culture that created them changes and the priorities that put it there are no longer important to society anymore, and it is abandoned . Sort of like the cycle of life.
Cystoscopy means run away as fast as you can. lol
Ahhhh I know where this is I drive by it all the time
Thats not A drier,Its A soilentgreen maker.Yum,its dinner time.
Soylent Green is people!
Love the videos guys, fantastic camera work, You guys gotta get over to Russia if this covid stuff ever calms down, alot of Abandond Soviet building are epic i hear.
21:42 "You Can Be Sure It's ....." (a slogan before your time).
Wow crazy thing is I'm one of the workers on that site...
How will they demo it? Seems like some value for what's left above pushing in a hole
I’m so curious why some of the graffiti is blurred out throughout the exploration
can someone explain what those hydrotherapy pools were for?
See the comment by @Ellis 'Iz' Dean. They were in a burn unit.
them: we gotta be quiet so the workers dont hear us Also them with every step they take: *CRUNCH CRUNCH CRACK CRUNCH*
Sometimes I wonder if the PP would be better off just putting on reflective vests and hardhats, carry clipboards around, and make it look like they know what they're doing.
@@smwsmwsmw whatp
Can't help but think about how those tiles are more than likely asbestos. Which is fine as long as they don't break...
You might not understand how microphones work when ...
I love how are you guys make your videos, there’s no Clickbait, awesome editing, and how you respect these places
Yeah, especially no over-exaggeration n all that garbage :P
Yes, they're A1 at this, along with Broken Window Theory, Derelict Doug, Urban Exploring with Kappy, Mobile Instinct, Bright Sun Videos, and several others. Don't you get tired of every exploration beng "scary," "haunted," "(I almost died!") etc.! Some of them are so inept you wonder how they manage. Stay safe.
Straight up.
That’s a very beautiful comment 💜
I agree! These guys are the best!
There are two types of Graffiti, The kind where the artist puts time and effort to it with multiple colors and deffinite skill to create a tasteful piece, And then there's the half-assed black or red graffiti tags often brandishing someone's "name" in illiterate scribbles, offensive or edgy slurs and penises quickly slapped accross everything from walls to windows.
Got to start somewhere man.
been around thousands of years
The half- assed black or red grffit red tags ofent brushing someone's name in lillterated scribbles offensive or edgy Pinterest
And then there is the grafetti wall
Nowhere is uncoated with 1 layer of graffiti
I'd say there's three types, not really on a scale, just three very different kinds of people. 1: Colourful murals created with genuine thought and effort 2: Genitals and swear words carelessly sprayed wherever 3: Among us and OwO
The oddly shaped hydrotherapy tub is called a Hubbard tank. I’m a physical therapist and we used to use these tanks for wound care. You guys are correct about the shape being for access to the patient. The other tanks were for extremities.
Hydrotherapy for wound care had the terrible possibility of cross contamination and now we don’t use them.
Cool to see the relics from early in my career. Just want to say that you guys are incredibly mature and respectful. I appreciate that and enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
At 15:00 that room reminded me of a typical hospital children's ward. It looked just like the one I was in numerous times as a kid in the 60s and early 70s. There were maybe 16 beds. They separated the boys from the girls.
The girls were down the hall.
W H A T (you were in...?!?!?!)
What does this mean, if you’re fine with answer? I just find interest in this kind of stuff whether you meant you went exploring in one or whether you were actually in one :D
@@Makoishere4 I'm just adding my 2-cents on what the room looked like to me based on the experience of being in a hospital ward several times as a kid. I wasn't exploring between the ages of 2 months old and 12 years old :-)
@@lavapix I still find that interesting mate :P
@@Makoishere4 The moment I saw that room it brought back memories of being in the hospital as a kid. The only difference is the entrance was in the center.
This video makes me want to make an Urbex Stealth game where you try to keep from being found by security or construction workers. Each level is based on real locations
Dude......fire up unreal engine and I’d fucking buy that
There could also be scrappers, vandals, homeless people and other explorers.
Taking pictures as an objective maybe?

Do it!
Proper People: "we have to find the bone stretcher."
Me: "that's a $1000 circuit breaker laying on the laundry room floor."
Good thing they're the "proper people" and don't scavenge ;)
@@Saluno375 Yeah, much better that it's left on the floor of some old building rather than if it was reused by whatever means, right?
@@prebenjaeger I mean, scavenging a single circuit breaker off the floor is a victimless crime, but if no one scavenged we'd have abandoned buildings in pristine state in our urbex content. So yes, don't propagate the idea.
Watch people recognize this building and head over just for the circuit breaker now
What's a circuit breaker?
I really don't understand why some people have the need to destroy everything?? so sad, just let it rust in peace.
Some of the graffiti was very good but most is just annoying but it's art non the less
The Among Us graffiti was some of the most frustrating. It's not even that good of a game. If you can't even be original don't bring paint with you.
Isn't that a Megadeth album name?
@@wounded625 To be fair, I think it added a lot to the place. Mid-century hospital with modern day graffiti with modern ideas really points out the contrast in how much the world has changed since then.

This channel has all the abandoned building fun of ghost hunting shows, without all the fake paranormal stuff
Hello Amanda I totally agree with your comments on this video
Without all fake paranormal stuff ghost
Every now and then they have real a paranormal stuff
I like how y’all just like explore and don’t act as if there are ghosts attacking you, it’s awesome what y’all do, keep it up
These videos always make me wish I could just get a glimpse of these buildings in their hayday. I want to see the nurses walking around working, all of the old instruments, the sounds and the families visiting their loved ones. So fascinating yet a bit frustrating!
Me, too. My aunt was a polio patient there circa 1950 after she contracted it at age 27.

I used to subscribe to him because I just really like urbex videos and need more but he was so freaking annoying. Most urbex channels are since they fake crap or just have annoying personalities. This channel is the only one I'm subbed to still because their videos are so aesthetically please and they're super chill.
Josh used to hate such explores with fake titles but now he became one of them i think. Or at least it feels like it since he start to become that famous.

That green machine you were trying to figure out in the laundry is a press and folder, you put in a wet sheet and it presses, drys and folds it all at once.
Is that the one Stephen King refers to as the 'mangler?'
@@ericbartol yes
Flatwork ironer & Sheet folding machine. I would consider the design more like Streamline Moderne (late 30ies ~ late 50ies) than Art Deco.
It looks like a Sci-Fi tank to me.
Looks like an old American Laundry Sylon or Super Sylon ironer with original aprons. The folder is a separate piece on the end. That particular ironer looks to be about 40s-50s and was built in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mostly original. Doesn't appear to have the inverter conversion done. The hood on top was for sucking out the steam from the sheets and the wax smell when they were waxed before using. A must have for being in a basement or enclosed area. Although that vent is too small by today's standards and most likely was full of wax in the walls. I'm surprised to see that in there. That still fetches a lot of money in the open market. I use to install and rebuild these things all over the US for 10 years. I always anticipate seeing something laundry related when watching your videos.
I love your guys' art: what is known in photography as "indexicality", indexing a place and recording it for all time, even though it is temporal and is soon to be disintegrated forever. That is a form of art, and with your videos and photography, you do it and do it well!
At this point you guys are like family. When I'm ready to eat, I don't sit down to watch movies or shows, I watch the Proper People! There is an atmosphere of comfort and familiarity with watching this channel.
Same here
Same here, my wife (who really isn’t into watching UA-cam often) enjoys watching their videos, a lot of times we watch their videos at breakfast in the mornings before we go to work
The “Bone Stretcher” looks a lot like our Orthopaedic fracture table where we put patients on it and pull the broken bone apart so that we can re-set it and put a metal plate with screws over the fracture. The black triangle and post is where we would rest the patient’s bottom and the post fits firmly against the private area. That is how we can “ratchet” down the boot (missing) and it won’t pull the rest of the patient down. Our older surgeons still use it bc it was what they trained on. Made in the 60’s. We also have a new one that is designed very differently
I hope I never break a bone! 😬 Are patients awake during this procedure??
@@shaynak745 No! Luckily, we anesthetize the patient before we ever put their legs in the boots.
@@921buzz that’s good!!
Omg that sounds awful and painful! Bless your heart for having to be the one to do that procedure.

but also thank you for what you do, I never could do that

Nature really does win in the end.
Somewhere at the 8-minute mark, there is grass growing in one of the rooms.

@@Shawn_Magara i can imagine.
funny, in a way. i've never once had a paranormal experience, but i'd be willing to believe even a little that anything is possible. in actuality, i dunno if i'd be brave enough to try and stir up anything i should be leaving alone.
“6 patients in a room - they were packed tight” *laughs from the NHS* 😂😂
There wus 8 patients in a room @ the heartlands, Birmingham,
I worked on a medical surgical floor with 6 bed wards in the 1970's. If I entered the wards, I could never leave. Everybody needed something. LOL
My local hospital has single room wards and you could do cartwheels through them, they're that big.
Exactly what I thought being British I was like “man they should visit a busy NHS hospital” that is not packed tight that’s practically private.
Look at this link towards end of comments is link to Fairfew mental institute wards had at least 20 to 30 cots side by side no space at all in between them I absolutely hate the terminology used I find it rather offensive ie cripple, spastic, retards, mentally handicapped, mentally challenged etc its disgusting horrible nasty way to describe the children and adults even babies with very complex special needs I'm very severely disabled myself what's so very very sad and I'm going to mention this please only watch this documentary with caution as it made me physically sick seeing the disgusting way they were treated I sensed from nurses body language no empathy or emotion odd few did but to see children and adults even babies rocking violently backwards and forwards along with repetitive erratic behaviour which is very clear sign they are very seriously deprived of stimulation, love and attention etc etc left all day in play room on floor if there able. The bed bound are all bent, stick thin, and severely malnourished with their bodies all gnarled and excruciatingly painfully twisted nurses giving them medication and feeding them flat on there backs shoveling food in continuous and constantly not giving time to acknowledged theres food in there mouth, time to taste, chew and swallow what's put in their mouths or given breather and or water in between each mouthful that's seriously very high choking risk which causes Aspirated Pneumonia which is usually fatal I have no doubt what so ever its most likely the cause of death in these young patients as well as severe malnourishment. Vast percent of the patients were Epileptic, Down Syndrome, brain damaged, various stages of learning difficulties etc we seen them in mental asylum for feeble minded a relative and her friend worked in the 80s it was horrendous place those in lock up wards screamed, hit and bit themselves and or others even chucked poo everywhere. I remember one lovely lady had very mild Downs but because lack of stimulus she had absolute no clue how to live independently I took a shine to her said to her guardian (her parents were both deceased by time she got out after institution got shut down) she can be rehabilitated with plenty time, patience and supervision sure enough in my care plus her guardian and carers Elsie thrived eventually moved into assisted living like sheltered housing but with more freedom. She even got married lived very happy fulfilling life her violent rocking and anger issues stopped after few months due to being stimulated and learnt to socialise she loved dancing and painting I taught her to make home made cards its so sad how these barbaric torturous hideous buildings treated special needs any ways here's link its about Slab bath shown in this video
opacity.us/image5260_slab_tub.htm#!get=comments
Some of those tracks are for privacy curtains that surround the beds.
The large tub is a Hubbard tank and was used for one patient to receive whole body care. It also allowed easy access for medical personnel to attend to the patient. The parts that stick up are used to create whirlpools in the tubs and provide a sort of massage to areas. Patients were lowered down on a stretcher and just their heads were kept out of the tub.
The V shaped building was the tuberculosis hospital.
I’m happy someone named dropped it. Seen the 508 phone number on the wall and started thinking what hospitals were shit down in ma area

With the vast amount of profanity showing on the walls in this video, I wonder how bad the few things that actually got blurred out must have been..
I also wonder if those low-quality lifeforms are proud of themselves for showing their lack of intelligence on property that doesn't belong to them.
Well one of the tags said Biden 2020, so I have my doubts they're capable of shame.
I really want to know what the blurred out stuff was
As someone who’s been there a bunch of times it’s pretty bad and just continues to get worse. From the looks of it they seemed to have blurred the several derogatory racial slurs spray painted on the walls
@@Anastasia-hn8bs the blurred out stuff would be peoples names or anything that could hint to the location.
Dude they are trespassing same level of crime. Get over your self
Henceforth my hand in use shall be called the "bone stretcher"
23:10 I just looked up cystoscopy. It's when they stick a camera up your urethra to see the inside of your bladder. AAAHHH!!!!
the art deco flourished machine was a mangle. Wet or damp sheets were fed into it and came out flat and starched at the end...crisp crisp crisp.
Man that thing looks like it would give zero shits if a person got caught in it.
The absolute hands down worst job I ever had was mangling sheets in a nursing home. I think I ran each one through a total of 16 times but I can't remember. It was hot, had to stand in the same spot facing a cinder block wall all day. Just mind numbing. But sometimes on Friday afternoons I got to hand iron clothes!
Welp, now I'm remembering Stephen Kings story about the Mangler.
@@SEEYAIAYE Its interesting you called it a mangler instead of a mangle. That's the word I always used too but thought maybe I was wrong.
@@jackimiller8511 Nah SK named the story that. For a short story it's creepy though. This thing turns on by itself and kills people.
As an x-ray tech, I always appreciate old hospitals. I extra appreciated this video because of the old x-ray equipment! Another great video guys! 💀☢️
Is it possible the sources are still in that old equipment (and potentially dangerous if scrapped?).
@@tc7009 After what happened in Brazil in 1987 I doubt the source would be left behind.
@@tc7009 uhm... I get the feeling you're up to something? 🤔
@@tc7009 Ultimately, no. The equipment itself is not radioactive. Perhaps all the parts are still there that can produce x-rays (a cathode, anode, filament, tungsten target, etc.), but those parts alone do not hold any radiation.

anytime i feel stressed or i cant sleep or i just need a brain break….this is the specific video i watch
thank you bryan and michael for continuously documenting what has been forgotten. it gives us invisibles hope that someone sees us❤
I was getting nervous that you weren’t uploading 😂
Had some delays exporting this since we've been out shooting new videos.
That’s good! I was a bit worried after seeing the
“COCK SANDWICH” spray painting in this video. Thought Bob might have caught you guys.
This channel is truly amazing
It really does feel like this show belongs on PBS
I totally agree. I would only want it on PBS as any other network would want to make it over staged like so many other channels do.
They are good!
These guys are ANTHROPOLOGISTS! I agree. They are preserving history. I also agree with someone above, that there should be some sort of a badge for them to carry, because this SHOULD HAPPEN, and they shouldn’t have to slink around hoping not to get caught.
THANKS, Proper People.
You know you guys could put on a hard hat, high viz and steel toes then just say your a historical documentation crew and no one would say anything.
Totally
No then they would call the police. Lie to them and piss them off is not going to work. You need to check in on sites and you would not have checked in. I would call the police if you lie, if you are honest I just walk them out.
@@badgerpa9 you’re grumpy. god damn.
@@badgerpa9 its not really lying. and on a site like that no one checks in.
@@mrsmith8694 On every construction site I worked you stopped and checked in at the construction trailer and signed in onsite. Some places are different but the contractors would get pissed if someone was in a building and they locked it up with you inside. Vehicles are left onsite all the time so they do not go by a vehicle being there. Also it is lying if you act like you are with government or private group you are not with. Still I never called the police as every time the kids admitted what they where doing, the nice kids got to take pictures on the way out as long as I was not in it. If they lied I would have had security call police.
I live about 5 minutes away from this place actually, ive been in it many times! This is super cool to see!
I assume they dont want the exact location to be publicized because they referred to it as "somewhere in the US" but as proof i can say its on the east coast.
However i have never gone in the outlying buildings so that was nice to finally see, even if there was nothing in them.
Ive collected many old patient papers dating all the way back to the 1960s. It was also really neat to see some of the graffiti ive seen in person many times! My friends and i also always referred to the hydro therapy baths as the "hot tubs" lol. Ive always loved going into the huge kitchen with the MEGA soup bowls, and i especially also remember the theater thats barely holding on with the cool little projector room on the floor above. You guys didnt go into the back room of the theater in the video, but theres a cool little space up a ladder back there that leads to a concrete room behind the main stage. nothing too cool up there but its just a neat little secret room.
Im really glad you guys got around to seeing this place.. many interesting things left over.. and one of the more memorable things ive seen personally is all of the creepy spray paint art people leave, and on one floor someone took all of the fire hydrants and stood them up in the hallways but those seem to have been removed before this video was made.
Thank you so much for the amazing video once again!!!! It was cool to see this place in the daytime as I only went at night beforehand.
EDIT: in the video, they never went into the basement. for anyone curious, its a large open area with support pillars that spans almost the entire hospital (with the exception of the courtyard i think)-a bunch of pipes and stuff everywhere; very creepy and dark, also moldy and kinda gross so i havent been in there a whole lot.
They also didnt show the roof, but its not too interesting, normal roof with some vents and some rooms with more vents.
I mean they said that to cover themselves in the video. This is the Lakeville Sanitorium in MA is it not?
yea that’s right
Is that the old Taunton State Hospital or the one in Foxboro? I saw one piece of graffiti and it had a phone number with an area code of 508 that is south eastern Massachusetts. Great video.
@@philvecchio6366 its the lakeville one
I was wondering if anyone else noticed the place! At the beginning of their video I was like wait... I know this place! I’ve personally never been inside it, I live a few towns away from it, but I’ve talked to a few people who have been in it and seen many pictures and videos. I only wish it was way more intact as it would probably be more amazing to explore.
Honestly, get some high vis vests and cheap basic PPE, boots, hat etc and make up a ID card of "some official but not real architectural history project" and walk around, from a distance the vest, hat and equipment is enough for people to think "they belong here" and leave you be, if asked you can say "they where supposed to have sent a letter/memo" or some other story. Nothing malicious, just make it sound like its true.
Oh man, YES!!!! Seriously, that’s a good idea.
Yup. Masks and a security badge.
And a clipboard
If I saw them I would walk them out but not call the police, if you give me some bullshit line that you are supposed to be there I will call the police. Most workers just worry that you do not get hurt in a building, you lie to them and they will call the police since you are now pretending to be someone official and that is more than just a trespassing ticket. No one is going to believe your stupid story they know who is supposed to be there and they would not like some BS lie.
I believe if they get caught though, that could get them in more trouble
Great video. I love how it starts out with really derelict building but then it just reaches that perfect level of abandondenment and vandalization. Awesome
From what i've read of the "Bone Stretcher" is "these were used for CP patients and Polio patients, whose legs had become arthropathied by lack of use and muscle tone. This stretched the legs and spine so they would straighten out and not draw up from lack of use, i.e. going into permanent fetal position"
That’s word for word what they said
@@EndOfLineTech ok?
Why did they close ever find out guys?It should have more secure border windows.i wish people didn't have to destroy things.Great video.Thanks guys.
As one of your other commenters suggested, the bone stretcher is an orthopedic/fracture table for lower limb fractures that require traction for roddings, internal fixations, etc. The loops of metal are probably to clamp drapes to during the case. It is also designed so that a C-arm x-ray device and get under and over or front and back of the fracture sight during surgery. If you do a search for Chick Table you will see what the newer versions look like that we used when I worked in surgery. Cool video!
Damn, I love you guys. As soon as that theme song starts I'm so freakin' dialed in lol.
I love that theme music!
Always love watching you 2! Voices are so calming, honestly feels like I’m watching a movie :)
So much graffiti about someones dad. Must have some issues.
I was in a bone stretcher as a baby a long time ago! After being born feet first, my hip was a bit out of allignment. It got very bad when I was 6 months old, so from then on I spent 3 months in a baby-stretch. Not that I remember, but my parents said it was a cruise compared to what the doctors prepared them for.
Bloody vandals can't leave anything alone, they have to wreck all they see.
Another ‘Nurse Ratched’ type structure.
