Saint Joseph's junior boys home. I wonder how many kids suffered at the hands of the nuns/church and dont realise that as adults, they are entitled to compensation via the national redress scheme.
Yes I've heard many a story about the abuse. It was made co Ed around the late 50s. My late mothers friend was in this Orphanage for a while and was sadly abused. While I filmed I actually felt a very dark force and sadness while I inside it was very emotional I found at times. The main building is the only building left standing, as of Friday. I recall my mum saying that early on they had a ship also housing kids just off the largs bay jetty back when the Orphanage was running. Sadly abuse will continue around the world due to the nature of sick and twisted people. Thanks for comment.
Full marks for going in multiple times. I had chills watching it. Most likely as lived close by like yourself. Will check out the abandoned playlist. Check out the abandoned trains at Port Pirie, be great to see that filmed on drone. All the best.
Went here on a few nights a couple weeks ago before it was knocked down. Visited my mums old offices (the room with a purple doorframe and the room overlooking the long hallway) and had a big explore of the whole building. Spent so much time here as a kid, will miss this place a lot - So many stories to tell and memories made here There is a bath tub upstairs which was always rumoured to have had a nun drowned and murdered in for becoming pregnant. It wasn’t allowed to be moved from the building for heritage reasons - rules made by the nuns. I laid in the tub as a kid and got locked in the room by my siblings. Was unreal to see the tub in the exact same spot all these years later (and yes I got a cheeky photo laying down in the tub XD) Cheers for the video. I may post my night time footage as well 👍🏻
@@MrVook wow great work. And thanks for sharing. I grew up over the road and moved further up the road in the late 80s. And still here after living overseas. Like yourself I too had memories of the place. Wow look forward to seeing your footage if you public it. I’ve managed to film again just before they started pulling it down . And over the last month I’ve had the drone over it every day lol. Friday they finally finished and just the original building is left. I’ll somehow edit up the drone footage. And public it much later as have so much content still from Taiwan and Japan. I’ll probably release another 1 or 2 videos. And blessing to your mother. I bet she had some stories My late mum told me a few and one of her friends was a young girl in orphanage when it became a co ed. Thanks again for sharing. 🙏
@ I definitely felt very uneasy in certain areas of the entire property. And in some areas I felt very dark forces. In our others areas of Port Adelaide you get goose bumps but this place definitely had bad energy.
@@jeremiahesquire I felt a real sadness in the building - sad it was being torn down, maybe even sad about what it had been through and what those walls had seen it was pitch black when I visited, but I got a heavy feeling in what I knew as the kitchen (of all places). More looking around revealed all the sad goodbye messages on the wall. It’s like I could feel them before I seen them Other parts of the building (like the kindy area) I could almost hear laughter and cheer seeping out of the walls. Maybe growing up there had something to do with it, and maybe my mum was watching over me but I didn’t really feel anything “evil”. Chills? yes. Fear? not at all Awesome to hear about your experiences mate! Sending respect from just down the road in Largs Bay 👍🏻
Apparently some parts of the building are haunted, the attic part is really creepy and eerie according to my friend who was as former security guard there. Someone else also told me they did yoga there back in the early 2000s and went to the toilet and heard a toilet flush and foot steps, thought there was someone there and turns out there was no one at all. And many people have told me they get an unsettling feeling walking through the halls at night sometimes back in the day. There have also been reports of people seeing or feeling the presence of a nun with a negative energy.
@@cocopom6688 wow I felt it myself. It a few areas I felt very emotional and other areas I felt sickened. Yes in 1984 the indigenous community took it over and it became a kindergarten and gym I went to the gym a few times lol. So definitely had yoga. I myself had many emotions in the building as I grew up across the road and played in the grounds when I was in primary school. Thanks 🙏 again.
I'm not fully sure, coz I was under 7 back then, but I think my Mum cooked in the Orphanage back sometime in the early 70's. Pity she's not alive for me to ask her.
@@naomikeiser4204 she probably had a few stories to tell. Hopefully she told them to her friends perhaps. Back then the property stretched all the way up to first house on Harold St. I was around that age when I lived across the cross from the orphanage. But was in the early 80s. Thanks for the comment 🙏
@@ldnwholesale8552 correct. My friends that have a house built around the time have a cellar similar, they had wine. In the older times its makes sense to store as you said preserved foods and keep them cool. I’ve also found cellars interesting as a child my friends had this cool cellar we used as cubby house. Thanks 🙏 for the comment

The train place is on the list. Definitely do a drone and go pro video.

That place is haunted and has had some paranormal activity.

Having grown up in 100+ y/o homes those cellars were to keep food and preserves cool. Most better homes had one.

I also hope you have found a stable home after that many homes 🙏
