- From the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, to the unreal communist monument in Bulgaria, these are 10 RESTRICTED Abandoned Places !
6. North Brother Island
If you live in New York City you might have seen this island before. It is located between the Bronx and Rikers Island, and it is definitely off limits.
The island has a long and sad history as a quarantine zone dating back to the 1880’s when a hospital dedicated to smallpox was built. The most famous patient on the island is without a doubt Typhoid Mary, the first human in the US to be identified as an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid fever.
The remains of the quarantine hospital still stand strong, but the island has been taken over by dense brush and wildlife
5.The 1936 Olympic Village
Regarded as the most infamous Olympic games in history, the site of the 1936 “Nazi Games” in Berlin has been left to the elements.
The people of Berlin want nothing to do with it, maybe because it is connected to WW2 or maybe because it was under soviet control for decades, there are certainly many factors at play here.
This is the oldest olympic village that has any hope of being restored to its former glory, but it will be an almost impossible feat since no one wants to donate money towards the cause.
4.Maunsell Sea Forts
These haunting sea forts are located in the Thames Estuary (where the river meets the sea) and were built during WW2. They were part of England’s defense system and served their purpose until the late 50’s.
After that, some of the forts were the location of a few pirate radio stations, and after it was all said and done, the buildings were deemed unsafe and the general public has been severely restricted in visiting them.
Perhaps you have heard of the Principality of Sealand ? It is an unrecognized micronation that has claimed the Rough Tower Fort, and has been falsely labeled as the “smallest country in the world”.
It is not recognized by any other nation or government, and considering it has a constant population of 0, you can see why.
3. Holy Land USA
With a name like Holy Land USA, you would expect something a bit more…. holy.
This place falls into the “other” holy section… yes that one.
56 years ago, the Biblical theme park was built in Waterbury Connecticut, it was a place for anyone to experience the sights of Jerusalem, the Garden of Eden, and Bethleem. Alas, the park was closed down for renovations during the 80’s, and it never opened again.
A group of nuns was put in charge of the place but they could not keep up with the upkeep.
The place is restricted in a way, since it is still private property, but inviting front gates offer entry to anyone who dares to go in.
The park has turned into a very creepy place, especially at night…
2. Six Flags Jazzland
Jazzland was a fully operational amusement park that was permanently shut down after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.
It is now considered as “Standing but Not Operational” and with absolutely every plan of reopening failing, this six flags location is a prime urban exploration spot, the worst you will have to deal with is lazy security guards… and the fact that the whole place can be considered a giant death trap.
In 2013, the movie Percy Jackson: Sea Monsters filmed on location at the park, and many other studios followed their lead. The most famous of them being Jurassic World.
And now for NUMBER 1, but first, the answer to our question.
On June 15, 1904, PS General Slocum, a passenger steam boat caught on fire near the the North Brother Island, and bodies from the ship littered the coast.
In total, 1,021 people died, and 321 survived to tell the tale.
1. The Buzludzha Monument
When looking at this massive saucer shaped building it isn’t hard to believe that it was built during the height of Brutalism Architecture in the 70’s.
The monument was commissioned by the Bulgarian Communist Party and it officially opened in 1981 and it closed down not even 10 years later with the fall of communism in the country. After it was abandoned, no one really cared for it, at all. The building fell into complete disarray and is littered with graffiti and broken glass.
And yet, there is something that attracts many urban explorers to this place, the front doors have been chained up for a long time, but that really hasn’t stopped anyone that wants to see the inside of the building.
Roman Robroek, an urban photographer from the Netherlands, captured the spirit of the building perfectly during his trip. The larger than life monument towers over the silhouette of a man who is trying to make out what the ominous red letters above the front doors say...
As a bulgarian i can confirm - this place freaks me out everytime i go to visit. It is even worst when it is misty all over
Baikonur Kosmodrome is still used by Russia to launch space craft. It might still be their only spaceport. The Buran shuttle and its hangars were abandoned, but the rest of the space port is still very active. In fact, American astronaughts, whose own country can't launch them into spoace anymore, go to Baikonur to ride on Russian Soyuz rockets.
The Buran shuttle was not a failure, and it was not a mere copy of the american shuttle. The Buran shuttle was much more advanced and even capable of fully-autonomous flight. This is a feat Boeing just managed to replicate a few years ago. The Buran shuttle made one successful flight. More flights were scheduled, but you have to remember that the Soviet economy was in shambles by the late 1980's, and the Russian Federation struggled throughout the 1990's due to economic hardship. Because of this, the buran shuttle programme was cancelled. I think that's very unfortunate. These things would probably still be in-service if is wasn't for the economic collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent years of economic hardship experienced by Russia. The programme was not a failure.
It was cancelled due to a lack of available funds.
Benjamin Slayton your comment is bullshit
All of my statements can be verified.
its all true
Why are people arguing about it?
" In fact, American astronaughts, whose own country can't launch them into spoace anymore"
What? You know the US has two private companies, Spacex and Boeing, with active launch contracts right? Spacex is decades ahead of Russian rocket technology.
"They could not keep up with the up keep".... Well said!
Well with Baikonur you certainly got a few things wrong, the Site itself is still in use, most Russian Spacecraft launch from there. However parts of the enormous area are disused, a few years ago the hall with the shuttle that was in space collapsed destroying it, but 2 unfinished shuttles are still in another hall on the property.
Thank you for letting me know ! Will keep this in mind for the future. Hope you enjoyed the video !
Urbex Tyrol
Ur
Urbex Tyrol can tourist go and check it out mate??
Baikonur? No, the whole place is "rented" and protected by the russian military, and there are no tours or anything like that. But it's an enormous area and not entirely fenced off, so you could just wander into it, but risk spending your time in a russian prison.
UPDATE: Michigan Central Rail was bought by Ford and it being refurbed into office space as of 2019.
That’s good!
The Detroit train station has been bought by Ford motor company to be used as it's smart mobility HQ.
Rough's Tower, AKA 'Sealand' is not part of the Maunsell Forts complex. Rough's Tower sits in the open sea off the coasts of Suffolk and Essex, whereas the Maunsell Forts are well within the Thames Estuary, about 3km off the Kent coast. Furthermore, there is always at least one person inhabiting 'Sealand' at all times, just in case somebody tries to invade - don't laugh, it has happened in the past. Oh, and the guns mounted on the deck? They're not just for show. They have, in the past, been used to put warning shots across the bows of vessels that, despite radio warnings, have come a bit too close. My late father knew the owner, the late Roy Bates, or 'Prince Roy' as he was known.
Not true anymore. Not a single person anymore.
Detroit's Central Station building was bought by Ford Motor Company, and is in the process of being rehabbed.
It should be taken off of this list. (#7)
It's a miracle to see this video as not clickbait!
The no.1 monument is called the Buzludja UFO and is located in Bulgary. I went there specially to see it. It is amazing! Built on a mountain, the size and the architecture of that thing are extraordinary. I went inside, took as many pictures as I could, the view from inside is awsome. If only the bulgarians cared for it and was transformed in a museum.....
Sami Dobrin I am a bulgarian and this thing really is amazing. Sadly, our politicians care only about money and most bulgarians arent interested in the history of our country what leaves for an "old circular concrete thing on the top of a mountain" By the way there is another interesting concrete stucture in Bulgaria. Its called "monument of the soviet army and is located in Varna. There are many secret rooms in it, a good place to observe the city and a giant bunker with a lenght of more than a kilometer.

Sami Dobrin Hello, I'm from Bulgaria... actually this place is really glorious, but it's a simbol of communism and since the fall of the BCP-Bulgarian communist party... everything has fucked up... most of our politicians right now steal from the normal people just to live their lives, and there's a lot more fucked up since the fall of communism in Bulgaria, that's why nobody cares right now
Sami Dobrin BTW there's a yearly meeting of communist party members
Sami Dobrin specifically* not specially
Michigan Central Station was purchased by Ford Motor Company last year in 2018 and is being totally restored....
Michigan Central Station update: by the time you had uploaded this video, some restoration work had already been completed. The windows have been replaced, the basement drained and cleaned, and electricity and lighting restored to the lower floors. While the adaptive reuse project has stalled yet again, efforts continue and the building is by no means "abandoned."
thanks man,great stuff
I can’t handle it. So much beautiful history objects that people can’t visit and I think people should try renovating some of them
Great video i always love googling things in these abandoned places videos. Alot of times there more info on them
Love watching all the clips of abandoned buildings and towns. Keep up the great work
It's a miracle not to see "an error has occurred".
50,000 people used to live here
Now its a ghost town
Watching + Learning from NSW Australia.
Thank you World Unearthed for the upload.
The abandoned Theme park in New Orleans is the creepiest !
Epic Wildlife great channel i sub to u
I live in Waterbury CT and to this day the giant cross in Holy Land still shines! idk if someone goes up there to turn it on but if you drive around Waterbury at night a giant pink light will loom over the entire city!
There's a lot of ghost towns in Kazakhstan as well. Especially near Lake Balkhash....many look like abandoned military installations.
50,000 people used to live here...now it's a ghost town.
Harry Gray ah good old cod
I've never seen anything like it.
Turkey is fucked up as a football bat.
Harry Gray Captain Price
Zakhaev sends his regards
fantastic video! i didnt know about some of these places, and i encourage you to make more fantastic videos!
Actually right now. The park is being restored. I live close to it and my Grandfather is one of the people's renovating it. It looks very good now. Still much more to go
Thank you for such interesting stuff. How does one join HOA?
Waw Frien! Dis is a relly cool videu bro!
fact check: The people of Chernobyl weren't evacuated immediately after the nuclear incident, but rather hung around long enough to have a festival and expose numerous people to nuclear radiation.. it was a while after the fact that people were forced to evacuate.
I am answering your question before the end of the video. The General Slocum side wheeler excursion riverboat caught fire with over 1000 people on board and grounded on North Brother Island. Staff and patients heroically participated in saving some of those in the water and sadly helped to recover bodies. There is a documentary about this disaster on UA-cam.
Yes it's awesome going in those places I've been in the train station in Detroit it is a great building
The berlin olypic village is classified as a historic site, open for public guded tours and being renovated since 2010. People dont hate that site, it gets a lot of visitors and there are plans to convert buildings into apartments.
Was there ANY research involved in this video, or just copy past from som outdated "top10" list site ?
@Time-traveling Troll I am sure you could have done much better, you would have created a timeless cinema classic. you ignorant moron!
Just a heads up: Its spelt Thames, but pronounced Tems :)
You have my subscribe, regardless :)
Considering what is written above the door, the #1 place would make a very awesome, yet ironic, historical library. However, it seems to me that such an endeavor is unlikely.
The original sign used to say "FORGET YOUR PAST", but someone added the "NEVER" part later on. It seems like the government has given up on the structure completely but a library would be cool !
it's on the very peak of a mountain - not a practical location. It was built as a conference hall for the Bulgarian Communist Party, so transport would not be a problem for delegates
World Unearthed "History is the propaganda of the New York Media"
Christopher Rose Not bad puns, not bad at all.
World Unearthed The word "NEVER" is not really added. I have been serveral times to Buzludja in the years from 2003 untIl today. Here is the story. Some people wrote with red paint "FORGET YOUR PAST" on some night in 2008. Later in 2011 the bulgarian government decited to close buzludja to stop the vandalism they closed the site entrance (that was made to go inside years before) and painted the front wall with grey paint (as you can see behind the red paint) to remove al the grafiti in the front. In 2014 somebody else painted again the same text but made it "NEVER FORGET YOUR PAST"
Ford motor company bought the train station and it is once again open the the public
So much being this video: the German Olympic village is currently being transformed into luxury apaetments
Yep sure is! I saw that on Mysteries of the Abandoned!
I love how waterbury ct made the list 😂 holy land is extra creepy because it's in the middle of the hood and you're likely to get murdered by a junkie
The waY... between the narrators... reaDings... from his sCript.. kills the video and feel.
He speaks like captain kirk lol
So does your illiterate statement! VOTE TRUMP 2020
That round building looks like it would make a good concert and lecture hall if it was fixed up and renovated.
A Dutch band called Kensington also has filmed their video clip for the song "ridles" in the monument.
Michigan's Grand Central Station - Detroit. It won't come back, because they want to turn the place into an artists venue; and have turned down offers to return train service, with a transportation museum, historic streetcars and returning Amtrak to it. They think that because they tore down the bridge to the loading ramps, there is no way that train service can be returned. It would not be hard to more the mainline to the outer edges of the station; and reinstall the bridge. 3 years ago I offered to do some of those things and they said no. Arts center only.
Brother Island is a mass burial place for indigent adults and infants that died in the hospital and they city offered to take care of. Unclaimed bodies are also buried there. When I say mass burial, I mean they put 1000 babies in the same hole in tiny little boxes not much bigger than a shoe box. A lady whose stillborn infant was buried there had to jump through a lot of hoops, but was finally granted permission by the city to visit her child's grave. There are no markers, no names, nothing. It looks more like a natural park with trees and greenery.
Except pripyat has close to 200 people living there again now despite the radiation. Military got sick of kicking them out just for them to show up again.
Where I live you can see the mansuall sea forts from my coast. It just leaves a creepy reminder of what happened.
FYI, Ford has purchased the Michigan Central Station and will be turning it into a $740 million mobility-focused campus around Michigan Avenue. Very exciting!
Interesting video. Btw for number 1 the star was supposed to glow, so it could be seen from far away
Centeo You could see many transformators goimg up the tower, I bet it had a powerful beam.
so clearly nott All these showcased
Abandoned locations Are REstricted
Did anyone notice all the windmills at 5:46? Where are they? What a blight on the landscape.
addendum, in response to the poseur directly before my last, I will firmly assert the major draw is more morbid curiosouty. than any other sane reason, and to get behind the history of the subject being studied is fascinating
I have been in the number one place, it wasn't that creepy but actually pretty cool.
Fascinating stuff. I have a thing for abandoned places so I enjoyed this!
There's a handful of old millitary bases but my fave that I spent most after school days exploring and getting caught a couple times is the original pentagon building known as white hall in rantoul IL, it was finally purged of asbestos and torn down in 2014 however ending a small part of my childhood
I’ve passed holy land many times because I grew up in Connecticut. The cross on the hill is lit up at night. Take route 84 to Waterbury and you can see it.
Nice video. Greetings from Finland!!!
Fantastic video 👌
Thank you for posting.
The way things are going, New York may want to establish a new quarantine station at North Brothers Island for COVID-19.
They started the restoration process of the Detroit rail station a while ago. The site is now fully secured cleaned up and all new windows have been installed. They are talking conversion to high end hotel.
The train depot in Southwest Detroit was recently bought by Ford Motor Company, it's being redone.
There are a dozen abandoned places that have been overtaken by nature within a dozen miles of my home. They just aren't as spectacular as some of these. If I even win the lottery I'm going to build something like the Bulgarian monument in secret just to make people wonder who made it and why...
Sealand has more than 0 people.
Klink Sucks your right Last I knew it had a permanent caretaker.
craigyv513 5 people, and more than 20 citizens
wow, that last one in Bulgaria takes the cake,I get the theory of architecture is innovation, but.........?, read a little about detroit terminal, thought that got knocked over many moons ago, still what worse place to park a large scale structure, such as that in Detriot .
Cheers ! Glad you enjoyed the video
Not only , it is build on top of a mountain. 8:07 the text in the middle of the dome "Proletariat from all sides - combine !" Its an old communist logo that was transformed from the parliament logo - "the unification makes the strength".
World Unearthed and I
I am from Bulgaria but I am 15 and I can't get there to climb it.
4:45 Reality check, the German Athletes won most of the gold medals
Its easy to say Merica! As an American, but for thousands of years as the borders have changed, Germanic tribes to nations have always just been mind-mindbogglingly successful and badass. After getting the "wow that's messed up" end of the Treaty of Versailles stick.... coming back in a couple decades to be even a remotely relevant country would have been astounding... Then they took over Europe... And because Merica and a certain dude not learning from prior Germans that got they ass kicked from a 2 front war, lost again. Few more decades, most powerful European country again. Gotta be magic dust in that soil.
Jeffrey314159
but I like how an African American.. put the national solicists worker's party..NSDAP..to shame.
Jeffrey314159 yes, history is written by the victor.
Brad AmeerBeg There are three sides to every story; party 1, party 2, then the truth.
xc5647321 xc5647321 most of the time at least one fact will be inaccurate, doesn't have to be a lot to technically be a lie
Great content but way too many visual effects.
I was born and raised in Connecticut and have never been to holy land in Waterbury. there's also an abandoned children's hospital in Middletown I think and the green lady cemetery. also there's Dudley Town I believe in northwestern CT in or near a town called Cornwall that is supposedly very haunted. CT. is old with a lot of history and old places to see and scare the shit out of yourself.
I'm in Waterbury a few times a week (unfortunately)... For those thinking about checking it out... Holy Land isn't just an enter at your own risk of arrest place. Its riddled with junkies, drunkies, and worse. One of a number of rapes and murders that have occurred there over the years, most famously as it actually made the news a 16 year old was abducted, brought to Holy Land, drug into the overgrown park then raped and strangled to death.
A really cool place to explore in CT that's illegal, creepy as heck, and supposedly haunted, is the Fairfield Hills Asylum in Newtown. In high school my friends and I frequently went there (under the cover of darkness of course) to explore and we were taking black and white photography as an elective. This place doesn't disappoint for either, or even just chill seeking. Especially if you can explore the underground tunnels that connect the campus buildings with an underground morgue at the epicenter. Security really ramped up there after MTV did an episode of Fear there. If anyone decides to check it out and does get caught, don't be or be with a vandalistic and/or mouthy A-hole. If you're not breaking stuff or being a jerk when confronted they just tell you to leave and escort you out. I do know of some that have just been jerks and they won't hesitate to call the PD and have your ass thrown in a cruiser.
Baikonur Cosmodrome is *NOT* an abandoned ruin! It is still completely active, and the major launch facility for rockets to the ISS (with the exception of a very few commercial rockets).
Very cool stories!!
The American shuttle was a fail. The Soviets where so smart to see how expensive it was. And it could flown by remote.
I'm from Waterbury,Ct. As kids we used to go up to holyland at night and play hide and seek. Scariest fucking game ever, but so much fun!!! The cross was finally lit up a few years ago and from what I've heard is that they're slowly working on the renovations.
I visited the Buzludzha monument 3 months ago, bot busted by Security police while doing a graffiti, didn't finish and got no photos of the graffiti, the police let me go with a warning. Surprised they care as the place is clearly falling apart adn was covered in graffiti already. The monument is the most impressive building I ever visited, doors were welded shut so couldn't get in, I heard a noise from the inside that made me feel quite ok with not being able to enter, very spooky place indeed, with the wind and cold on the mountain one could only think about the workers that built it. A very ghostly place, I recommend a visit before the whole thing collapses.
I drive pretty close to that one in Waterbury on the highway every time I go to visit family. About the only thing left now is a big cross.
I swear all these types of videos have more false info then actual. Shows how well people research these days. Just slap a vid together and put on UA-cam.
Ontario Backwoods Outfitters true
Then make your own instead of complaining.
Ontario Backwoods Outfitter its also sad to see that some mistakes are so damn obvious but nobody seemed to care
Lottie Loup yeah he needs to not complain and just make his own
Wonderfull video
Actually, Holy Land is under new ownership, and is being renovated. The cross has been completely rebuilt and can be seen from the nearby highway, lit up night.
It's pronounced tems, not Thames.
You can pronounce a noun in any way you like.
Random Car Guy don't tell him what to do.
Random Car Guy but it is pronounced “tems” so you’d be wrong if you pronounced it any way you liked, womble
I live in Waterbury CT. You can see holy land pretty much from anywhere in the city. They put up a new cross a few years ago. Never been up to Holy land though, don't know where the entrance is.
the.packard plant in Detroit alot more interesting to explore than the station. hell when I lived there we turned it into a urban snowboarding spot all winter. illegally. lol oh! the abandoned China theme park in Florida is a ton of fun to sneak in and explore also. especially with a skateboard.
The river Thames is pronounced TEMS.
Stupid people never do. Ignorant people always have the worst attitudes.
Your information about the Michigan Central Building in Detroit is out of date. Ford bought the building and is in the process of renovating it
Correction about Famagusta. It is in turkish part of Cyprus, few miles away from Greek part so there are excursions to the city and the abandoned part. Bus doesnt stop in abandoned part, it stops at the beach. And there are guards there so you wouldnt take a pictures of the abandoned buildings. I heard opinions that this part is abandoned, nothing is built there because Turkey wants it that way. For many years goverments are negotiating and Turkey knows Cyprus wants this area so they keep it as negotiation chip and build nothing because eventualy they will leave the area.
Поздрави от Бузлуджа и Казанлък
Greetings and salutation's. I hope your well, and that things are good where you are.
VOTE TRUMP 2020
7 of these are on the Show Mysteries of the Abandoned on the Discovery Channel SCI Network! You get a lot more info about them!
The 6 flags in new Orleans they film movies there and it's crazy....It hits your soul because the original sign has never been touched....it's straight out of a horror movie bearing the message 'Closed for the storm.' with crooked letters and some missing as well as covered in dirt and mud...it's scary.
Please do more educational videos👍👍👍
You gotta give it to us, humans!
Humans!!!!
Michigan Central Station has all new windows in it as is going to be used for something in the near future.
Buzdludja is so freaking amazing i live in a town next to it and i can see it when i go to some higher place it's so beautiful but it's awesome
Well researched and very interesting, thanks for your efforts.
The Shuttles(correct name is Buran) didnt fail, it flew ones, but theyve just ran out of money.
I wouldn't go to the Six Flags New Orleans. A few years ago you could get though without much of an issue. But, now you would be real lucky if you walked out of there without getting mugged or worse. Not worth it anymore.
I think you may be wrong about Sealand not being a principality it was recognized and acknowledged by the German government when 5 or so of their citizens tried to capture it Roy bates held them in its jail on the fort till his government and principality was recognized by Germany which meant his claim was legal. The principality has its own currency, postage stamps and passports. This information is available in book written by Roy bates son, Michael. Holding the fort is the book.
I like watching abandoned, haunted houses,places XD.
Berlin olympic village segment untrue. I've been there and they sell tickets to get in---also it is about 40 minutes outside of Berlin in the middle of nothing and a Kilometer walk from the station after that.
The Boran was actually a better shuttle then the ones NASA used.
i THINK YOU HAD BETTER CHECK ON THE DANGERS OF THE TEPCO FUKUSHIMA DAI-ICHI 3 MELTDOWN REACTOR CORES! Right now, scientists cannot even approach the cores, let alone assess the damage and how to fix it.
The steamboat General Slocum crashed into that North brother Island
the way you blend images gives me headaces.. looks realy confusing
Your English is very good, what is your native language?
+John jon BASIC I suspect...
John jon I know what you mean, doesn't sound like English is his first language, hey?
Brad AmeerBeg I really don't think it's a person speaking, I think it's a computer-generated "voice..."
hahahaha could be
yea- you have a mixture
Some dutch guys called "exploring the unbeaten path" went into the kosmodrone and the soviet monument, cool vids imo
says 2016 1936 Olympic village isnt used but sat imagery shows its in use back to 2005
There was also a girl raped and murdered in holy land a few years ago. It was really sad.
At 1:37 you can see cars and tennis courts in that abandoned Turkish city, something going on in there.
