I love your videos. I've commented on them before as I was a school teacher and local historian and studied at the local mysteries and legends. I well remember the fever hospital ghost as my friend's family lived in a house just opposite in the sixties and seventies. Jack, the father, saw people trying to get into the graveyard at night, and complained when the story appeared on TV. He never saw anything, but agreed to seeing strange mists or fog which he put down to the weather.
Played in the abandoned hospital alone as a child. Visited on Halloween night once. Saw nowt. Plenty of birds. I spoke to an old lady once who had been a patient when the hospital was being wound down. She had found it a bit creepy but only because there was hardly anyone there. I'm pleased to say the Telegraph and Argus has the same high standards of journalism even today.
I have just found this video. My friends and I used to ride past the hospital grounds regularly on the ponies from the local stables on Back Lane. It was in the late 60's but I can't remember the building still being extant. However, there were more trees then and the site did appear to be oddly misty and silent. My mother was a nurse there during the war but apart from mentioning the mice that used to scuttle about at night she said very little about it.
This makes me not want to move back to Bradford from Leeds. All these places I've been past and never knew about till now. Thank you for the information
Only a little bit like what happened during lockdown. In places like fever hospitals, those who were infected were isolated. Big difference from lockdown which went much further, so that healthy people were isolated. This was totally unwarranted and went against decades of health professional policy. As the WHO spokesman said, should never be done: “Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never, ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,”. In that it has been and continues to be, very successful. Anyway, the 'Old Ozzy' was one of our playgrounds back in the day, when it was derelict and only partly demolished. Lots of trees for chumping. I remember there was inside there, a big iron cupboard type thing that we took to be the remains of a safe, maybe an oven. Our spook up there was a headless lady who played the piano, who we neither saw nor heard but had a laugh about.
Nice view through the spider web at the end and what the heck was that weird ringing noise and there also was another drilling type of noise? maybe it was to freak you guys out and someone please rescue that poor horse lol. Great video guy's

Always love to hear from historians.
Learn from each other.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

That place certainly has a foreboding atmosphere... I didn't feel at ease and just wanted to get back inn the car. A very spooky experience!!!
Definitely felt it
Funny how so many old hospital sites, particularly in America have a similarly nasty reputation.
This makes me not want to move back to Bradford from Leeds. All these places I've been past and never knew about till now. Thank you for the information
Thanks for the history of the old fever hospital.
👍🏼
