I was recommended your kmart video from last month, and I was surprised to see that you visited this place. Spring grove is right down the road from my childhood home, and it's still not super far away still. Glad to see you taking the time to check it out! Greetings from Catonsville.
At first I thought you were in Sykesville at the Springfield Hospital Center. If you haven't been you should go. It's very similar in nature. I'll look back at your archive to see.
Those older buildings are amazing. People act like asbestos jumps out of the walls and contaminates the whole area. Those buildings can be remediated without total abatement and still be used.
Insanely cool! 😂 ALL of these buildings have asbestos and lead paint I am sure many mentally I’ll folk’s consumed tons of the lead paint in the facilities and died from cancer as well. The experiment’s I am sure were mostly illegal and not approved by a mentally ill patient or there families . ( Thus NO plague for anyone to remember what happened in that house) Baltimore County use to transport prisoner’s there who the judge would give an order for there stay . Until they were mentally stable to stand trial. When they returned to court to stand trail they were always under some type of psychological medication and highly sedated.
That's crazy. I had no idea that happened around here. I know there were larger covert programs going on by the CIA around that time around psychedelics and trying to develop mind-control techniques, but I had no idea there was something like that going on locally.
@@IanMartinExploration Yup, back in those days folks were called “Retarted” now called mentally challenged Back then families did not know what to do with folks or could not handle them . Thus, they were put in Spring Grove Hospital experimented on and given drugs to sedate them to keep them calm and non combative. Not all of them were , just the ones they couldn’t handle and had sever mental health issue’s. Only if those walls could talk . You can only imagine what happened in those buildings and how many folks died from drugs,abuse,and other unmentionables throughout the year’s. I wonder if any records are still around of the patients who were there and what happened to them??
Thanks! I’d love to know what I got wrong as the majority of the info came from various maryland state government sites. I wonder if a lot of their info is incorrect/outdated.
I remember when the government stopped funding these facilities (Reagan administration ?) and the mentally ill were set loose to roam the streets of Baltimore
Please enjoy my "insanely cool" experience haha
Did you get inside?
That's some gorgeous architecture...
Great video! Love you work.~M

@@scottleatherman163 Actually, they are no longer referred to as, Mentally Challenged. Now the term is IDD. Intellectually Developmental Delayed.
@@theirmom4723 Yes ,that is correct Not sure way the medical field as to change around words all the time ?
I currently work at Spring Grove and I'm not trying to be mean but a lot of your information is not correct.

Tornado shelter built in to ground??
Ohh, I hadn't thought about that! Very possible!
Is Baltimore known for tornados?
@@theirmom4723 No not at all. I was thinking it have been used for things that need to be kept cool like medical supplies or something.
The former location in Baltimore is where The Johns Hopkins hospital was built.
Qiut talking so much and show us the building
