I worked at Pilgrim (1976-2017)for 41 years it was one of the biggest hospitals in the world , I have the Guinness book (1989) . It is still opened. I worked in IT (Bldg.20) I could write a book about my experiences here. I loved working with the elderly Geriatric Residents, what a experience I had at this facility.
That was totally cool, thanks for this video tour of Pilgrim! Growing up back there, I never actually heard of that place, but that would be quite the place to visit on Halloween! It looks super spooky. The psychiatric hospital that I was familiar with in NY, was Creedmoor in Queens Village. As a teenager growing up in Queens after church one day, I was asked to drive this girl back home. Well, her "home" was unfortunately Creedmoor. Wow, that sure was uncomfortable. Plus, my dad had an office in Queens Village, so whenever I drove him there we always passed Creedmoor from Whitestone along the Belt Pkwy. But, I think it's totally abandoned now. Not sure if it's been repurposed for anything else. Always trying to give you good ideas for another video Mooney, so no surprise I have one for you! It's called the "Gold Coast" on Long Island's North Shore. This is where the well known novel "The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald was fictionally played out. And another lesser known novel called "The Gold Coast" by Nelson DeMille occurred. Just some ideas if you're so inclined for additional research and a driving tour. Thanks again man, always look forward to your videos!
@@MOONEYDashCam i once saw a doc. About lobotomy. There was a doctor in the 50swho would use a hammer and a wood punch. Place it under the eyes and into the upper eyes orbit bone of the patient ,🧔 tap it once. He would do this in both orbits, and this actually work most of the time. Until medical tranquilizers was discovered which in both cases would likely to leave the patient dorsal and quiet.
I worked at pilgrim state, those medical records building are full of medical files from who knows when. The state is not allowed to ever throw them away or transfer them onto hard drives. It’s wild how some of them we’re from the 1930s.
@@michaelciccone2194 i highly doubt it, hipaa laws. But the reason they have to keep them is because mental Illness is hereditary. So every so often a person that was trying to plead criminallly insane who’s grandparents or great grandparent were in a nys mental facility forever ago would request the patient files of their ancestors to try and beat a case.
I binge watched your videos today. I'm on the shoreline of CT about a 2 hour drive from NY and can't believe I've only been there a couple times. I like exploring with you from home lol. Cool videos.
I lived there for 27 years of my life. I played soccer there for most of it. I always saw the front part of it from the fields, and some back way where we saw a building or two. I wish I was back there to look around. I can't believe I never went back there. I had no idea how big it was and what it looked like. Amazing.
Great video, Mooney! I absolutely LOVE your style; the nuances are just so great. The images were so stark, right? Gray sky, no leaves on the trees, a barren landscape. It completely underscored that creepy, eerie vibe. (Basically, that $h*t looks haunted, lol!!) If you'd gone on a sunny, spring day, it wouldn't have looked nearly as foreboding. Excellent job! Your videos are so super entertaining! :)
This video randomly was on my youtube feed. Ive heard about this place and have seen awful awful pictures of when it was in full swing. They did terrible things there .... a very sad and awful existence for people there....and yet look how much mental illness is on our streets surrounding us. Times have certainly changed, but for the better? I think not. Love your channel darlin ❤
Good old Pilgrim State Puzzle Factory. Huge campus. You actually have to drive through the campus to get to the Sagtikos Pkwy. I went to that Brentwood College campus. Took a few rides through Pilgrim. Check out CI. It’s completely different. Almost unrecognizable if you didn’t know where it was. Great job Mooney!!!!
The Kennedy family had JFK's sister lobotomized. Doctors told them it would help her mood swings and sometimes violent outbursts. Well, it didn't. It did leave her incapacitated and unable to speak coherently. The Kennedy's basically cut ties with her, stuck her in a "home" in Wisconsin until her death. Her mom didn't visit her for over 20 years and her dad never did. They wanted to keep her out of sight as JFK and RFK launched their political careers.
Hey man, haven't watched your videos in a while. Looks like your channel is doing great though. Much respect for the time and effort you put into these videos. Be safe out there in NY
There’s a lot less buildings now since the past few years they’ve been tearing down a lot of them. Used to go inside these abandoned buildings a lot back in HS about 10/12 years ago bc a lot of people have said they were haunted. Did see & hear some weird things, pretty freaky at night time & one building has an amazing view when getting to the top of it especially at night 15:00 in video the building straight ahead
Dude, back in the early/mid 80's, the complex was undergoing rehab of the buildings and I was an overnight guard there. Our security trailer was down that road on the right at 9:12 . That is where the construction workers working on the building would enter. We had K9's we would have to patrol with. The main bldg. at 10:45 was even then abandoned. I forget what it was called but we had these clocks we had to carry around on patrol and in certain parts of the main building were keys we would put in the clock to tag we were there. The main building back then had old jail cell areas (there were just trenches in the cement where the cells were). There were LONG tunnels that connected the bldgs. And yes, that place was haunted (personal experience)! Freggin' place was creepy AF!!
I grew up in Brentwood and around fifty five years ago me and three of my brothers tried to catch one of the smaller pigs that they kept in a series of large pens there and they broke out of the pen. As kids we used to roam around the grounds , There is a large patient cemetery there with nothing but small numbered markers laid flat on the ground.
Very cool vid Brandon. I never drove in there too. I had no idea that any building was still in use! I heard the security is really intense in there at night to stop once rampant urban exploring. It's funny with Brentwood. In LA it conjures-up movie stars and mansions. In Long Island what it conjures up is not exactly quite the same to the least. Lobotomies, shock treatments, and ice baths were found to be nothing more than tortures. So many people that had things like autism, where thrown in these places. It's really sad.
I grew up in Suffolk county in the 1950's through 1973 and there was no such thing as litter or graffiti. Long Island is running down hill. You could have taken the main highway that runs in front of Pilgrim State to give people the real sense of dark gothic architecture. Even in the 60's, Pilgrim State was creepy.
Cool video man back in the day we used to ride dark bikes and quads back there had a few friends that grew up in the area so we were pretty familiar with the place it's definitely shady though and like someone said MS13 does hang out there and do initiations there's graffiti all over the wall as you can see definitely a place you don't want to get caught up in at night by yourself you might get shaken down or worse.. If king's park has a nice psychiatric centre you should do a video over there the Really crazy very popular for urban explorers
Really great video. I never knew anything about the history of that place. I drove someone there last winter when i was driving a taxi. It was a couple of months before you filmed it actually. It was at night so it was hard to see and navigate thru. I just remember going down those small roads thinking what the hell is this place? Thanks for the history lesson. It's cool driving around LI with you
there was four quads with a kitchen in between they all have been demolished. The large Bldg you first see is Bldg 25. the small buildings in front of it is the Nurses circle Blg 68.69.70 and 71. you went pass the powerhouse and the maintenance buildings. Use to go to the key shop to get your assigned keys there. Still remember my key number 561.
In 1972, Geraldo Rivera did an investigative report with hidden cameras at the Willowbrook State School on Staten Island, NY. From Wiki: Willowbrook State School was a state-supported institution for children with intellectual disabilities in the Willowbrook neighborhood of Staten Island in New York City, which operated from 1947 until 1987. The school was designed for 4,000, but by 1965 it had a population of 6,000.
🤣😂😂☺️☺️ I’m sorry but it just struck me as funny. I know it wasn’t meant to be, but what if?? What if some documentary revealed whole swaths of NYC somehow impacted by this place? I apologize for my own sickness.
Theres a rehab addiction facility there that i went to called ck post. I went there a couple years ago, still up and running. So old. You can still see certain areas where there are entrances to underground tunnels that are all connected where they would transfer the lobotomy patients. Crazy.
@@MOONEYDashCam it was definitely odd roaming the halls, especially being from the island my whole life and knowing the history and what not, its was a bit spooky at times
Funny to hear the New Yorkers’ nerves get bad in wide open spaces! 😱😰 Reminds me of Hapeville for some reason. Old Hapeville, old College Park. Very dèja vu. Note the big birds of prey @ 15:30! Falcons or hawks? Eagles or kites? I think they should put some money into these old state places and get a LOT of people off the streets!!
If you need some history about Brentwood let me know I lived in Brentwood for 55 years I'm the last original family in the neighborhood... I grew up there in the late 60s early 70s....
State mental hospitals are in the country -in every state. NOT for the patients health --but to get the schizophrenic patients out of the cities, For example near LA we had Camarillo[ and Norwalk hospitals. Now as most psych hospitals close--the crazies are homeless and in county jails. Pretty sad.
I've lived in Brentwood most of my life but have no clue as to most of the areas you drove through. I'm not sure how the heck you got to Pilgrim, but the entrance I would have been familiar with, is where you now enter Suffolk Community college. The entrance on Wicks Road, by the LIE and Motor parkway. If you go past, it in the other direction after you pass Brentwood North middle school, it becomes Fifth avenue a little further down. I grew up in north Brentwood, So Washington Avenue becomes Brentwood Road if you head towards Bayshore. If you head the other way Wahington Avenue ends at Motor Parkway in Hauppauge. I now live in northeast Brentwood off Caleb's path. My side of the street is Brentwood. the other side of the street is Central Islip. If O drive a few blocks to the end of the street, it's Motor parkway Hauppauge.
Whenever i would go with my dad to take my mom to work, by the time we were going home, we always had to drive through the abandoned part only. It used to scare me, but now im just curious and interested on what happened to it
Hey Mooney Special video request There is a famous rapper Rakim that is from Long Island. Could you do a video on him and the area he grew up in on Long Island? Greatly appreciated Take care Chris
Fictional scenario: Lights come on behind the truck, you pull over. "Can I help you Sir?" "Yes, license and registration please. What brings you out here?" "Oh, I have a youtube channel and I..." "If you're interested I can get you behind a behind the scenes tour" You follow him and enter a building. You're grabbed from behind, a needle is jabbed into your leg and you wakeup in a cell. That place gave me the damn creeps!
Hello Mooney i like your Video's I grew up in Bay shore, spur drive south,I went to Brentwood High school, when i was in HS things were so much different we didn't have gangs back then it didn't start till after 1986 with gang fights etc and I remember old Pilgram on any given time you'd hear a news report someone snuck out, well when I was a teen there was always the Italian feast down the road from there in a field near LIE, and this one time I was there across teh radio the dude says"and it looks like another person snuck out pilgram state be on the look out for a man in a nigh gown" well they had police etc all over. I would never drive in there or Kings but I can tell you go to the Bay shore Marina and go drive around bright waters to see some beautiful homes, but as one writer said be careful of kings and pilgram shady stuff goes down.
Those abandoned buildings in the back is the morgue. There are a few videos around with people going in them. I myself went into the morgue, but not all the way in. Those cars are coming from Broadridge (that big trucking place). It's not a trucking place. It's a business with many buildings over there and they do printing and handle proxy voting for companies on the stock exchange. I worked there for years. You can actually get out that way, it's shorter. Anyway, they'll let you drive around Pilgrim State property, but if you go into an abandoned building, you'll be immediately arrested for trespassing. Some of those dirt roads have smaller buildings too. You should make another trip there and do more research on the horrible things that went on there.
Hi mooney just for info I believe they employed the kings park phsyce tower don't know exact date offhand that was named because 95 percent of the patience were from kings county aka brooklyn c.i. phsyce center manhattan and bronx and pilgrim or pilgrim state richmond and queens also nassua and suffolk l.i. and counties upstate later in 40s put patients where available alot of crazy stuff went on if those walls could talk
The property is owned by a big real estate developer (wolkoff) for many years. They have been fighting with the town to develop a big residential area for over 20 years. It would be basically it’s own town if approved. I did work for them in the past for many years. It’s all private property and they pay for security. You are lucky security didn’t catch you because they have previously had trespassers arrested. They have had people going on the property in the past and vandalized.
It wonderful if this used for like homeless shelters ,rehabilitation or women shelters..for orphans that are turning 18 ..I mean it can be use for something..🤔
I've never actually driven through this place but I've driven past it many times on the LIE and Sag. When I was little I thought it was a fancy resort. It looks like one from afar and driving fast. Talk about the complete opposite of a resort.
How does someone from the Western US know we got a New Yorker driving this truck? Because he thought he could get stuck in that little bit of dirt! lol
@@MOONEYDashCam well....even if u thought you might get stuck, NEVER, EVER say that unless you're getting ready to cross a flash flood in the middle of a snow storm - then all of the veteran off-road 4x4 drivers will say, "that looks hard, but go for it!" Lol! Always great videos! 👍
The problem may be all unmarked graves. No one wants to live or work in a building on top of dead bodies. There are small flat concrete grave markers with no name, just a number all over. No records of who they are.
Pilgrim State is creepy. We used to go drive there at night. Are you old enough to remember Edgewood? It was on Commack Road. Was in Deer Park. That's where I grew up. Edgewood was so scarey. Google that building. They knocked it down. It was part of Pilgrim State. But not on the property. It was gothic looking. I didn't live by it my mother wouldn't live by it. But you could see it for miles. Not for Nothing..your probably in the safest part of Brentwood there is these days. The people are locked up.
54 grew up in Deer Park hung in Edgewood late 70s All of the 80s running wild party every night awesome building sick architecture the crown highest spot on Long Island could see NYC from up there great memories
@@kerim1035 I believe you are correct. When I was there, the patients were getting ready to have appointments with their judges. A friend of mine still is a minister there at MHPC.
I grew up in Long Island. Your background history commentary was fascinating but too many interruptions of you talking to yourself. When you go back to your notes you sound a bit distracted. (For example, the abandoned tuberculosis building was called Edgewood, but the second time you mentioned it you called it Edgewater.) It's very difficult to do live detailed narration. Even with a script I couldn't do it. (I live in Hollywood and worked in recording studios) A voiceover would've been a better choice. Having said that, I really enjoyed the video. Creepy and entertaining!
Edgewood state hospital Deer Park NY AKA Mason general hospital I know mad history I'm 54 crazy shit WW2 soldier 🪖 rehab & Nazi pow held at Edgewood awesome bldg should make a movie about Edgewood & Pilgrim they were connected through tunnels some are still there that's a fact
Yes! I thought of some of the big campuses here in Florida, but a lot of them look like this, all around the country. I wonder if they used some of the same architects.

Whenever i would go with my dad to take my mom to work, by the time we were going home, we always had to drive through the abandoned part only. It used to scare me, but now im just curious and interested on what happened to it
never thought i would see my little sister in youtube comment section
it is amazing to me that so many psych centers were in Suffolk county .pilgrim state kings park central islip
Insane right (no pun intended)
lol
by my house in shoreham there is Nicola tesla's laboratory ,that would be a good video
Brian Mcintee wow I didn’t know that
yeah google it and right down the road is shoreham nuke plant that only turned on for one hour its creepy to look at
Hey Mooney
Special video request
There is a famous rapper Rakim that is from Long Island.
Could you do a video on him and the area he grew up in on Long Island?
Greatly appreciated
Take care
Chris
The biggest in world. Also have Brooklyn State, Manhattan state & Creedmore in Queens. I always knew NYC was full of crazies
Looks like a giant factory,that real estate would worth anything.
I lived there with Roy Demeo !
thats crazy!!..........no pun intended
great video and information
I practice my driving there actually pretty good just like roads are pretty empty lol
Fictional scenario: Lights come on behind the truck, you pull over. "Can I help you Sir?" "Yes, license and registration please. What brings you out here?" "Oh, I have a youtube channel and I..." "If you're interested I can get you behind a behind the scenes tour" You follow him and enter a building. You're grabbed from behind, a needle is jabbed into your leg and you wakeup in a cell.
That place gave me the damn creeps!
This will give me nightmares 😂
Hello Mooney i like your Video's I grew up in Bay shore, spur drive south,I went to Brentwood High school, when i was in HS things were so much different we didn't have gangs back then it didn't start till after 1986 with gang fights etc and I remember old Pilgram on any given time you'd hear a news report someone snuck out, well when I was a teen there was always the Italian feast down the road from there in a field near LIE, and this one time I was there across teh radio the dude says"and it looks like another person snuck out pilgram state be on the look out for a man in a nigh gown" well they had police etc all over. I would never drive in there or Kings but I can tell you go to the Bay shore Marina and go drive around bright waters to see some beautiful homes, but as one writer said be careful of kings and pilgram shady stuff goes down.
Those abandoned buildings in the back is the morgue. There are a few videos around with people going in them. I myself went into the morgue, but not all the way in. Those cars are coming from Broadridge (that big trucking place). It's not a trucking place. It's a business with many buildings over there and they do printing and handle proxy voting for companies on the stock exchange. I worked there for years. You can actually get out that way, it's shorter. Anyway, they'll let you drive around Pilgrim State property, but if you go into an abandoned building, you'll be immediately arrested for trespassing. Some of those dirt roads have smaller buildings too. You should make another trip there and do more research on the horrible things that went on there.

Best movie ever
The last area you said you saw The BBq Pits Was the Phoenix House of Brentwood
I used to work in a place like this in NJ. It was a Snake Pit! It looked exactly like this but not as big. They did lobotomies and shock treatments.
Oh goodness
And may I ask what was the name of that hospital Susan Carroll?
Hi mooney just for info I believe they employed the kings park phsyce tower don't know exact date offhand that was named because 95 percent of the patience were from kings county aka brooklyn c.i. phsyce center manhattan and bronx and pilgrim or pilgrim state richmond and queens also nassua and suffolk l.i. and counties upstate later in 40s put patients where available alot of crazy stuff went on if those walls could talk
I don't know how the word employed got on there it was imploded
Is that a "Diesel," engine in the truck?
It sure sounds like it.
I pass that place almost everyday I live close to it
The property is owned by a big real estate developer (wolkoff) for many years. They have been fighting with the town to develop a big residential area for over 20 years. It would be basically it’s own town if approved. I did work for them in the past for many years. It’s all private property and they pay for security. You are lucky security didn’t catch you because they have previously had trespassers arrested. They have had people going on the property in the past and vandalized.
My mom goes here every day because her job is next to this building and it is scary at night
It wonderful if this used for like homeless shelters ,rehabilitation or women shelters..for orphans that are turning 18 ..I mean it can be use for something..🤔
wow, very interesting and creepy too
ECT still used.Discovered when depressed people nad a seizure & they woke not as depressed..
I've never actually driven through this place but I've driven past it many times on the LIE and Sag. When I was little I thought it was a fancy resort. It looks like one from afar and driving fast. Talk about the complete opposite of a resort.
Very very far from a resort hahaha
I know. Ha ha ha. And at a young age asking your parents what that building is, they didn't say anything.
I hope you got some " Oil" for your car I can hear those bent Lifters a knoken Now,,,,, but good Vid!!!
You should do a video on Creedmoore in Queens.
I’ll add that to the list right now
They knocked some building down for a apartment complex
Oh god I remember when I went there
No way what was that like
Everything was old it wasn’t scary but everything and really dark
Don’t not go there cause police to be there
@@MOONEYDashCam if you want to tell you more about my experience if you got social media I explain everywhere there
there was a giant mansard roofed main building that was visible from afar. maybe it was demolished. always scared us as Kids.
Yeah, you could see that from Sagtikos I believe.
When I saw that---I knew that I and my family were getting close to my aunt's house
Are you driving manual shift ? Sounds like you are using a clutch.
Be great to have a friend like you to do this exploring. You talk intelligently .
So many who came back from ww2--suffering souls----is there a graveyard there ?
its been there for ages
I wonder if ghost adventures did an investigation if not they should an Roberson lounge
Hmmmm I wonder
How does someone from the Western US know we got a New Yorker driving this truck? Because he thought he could get stuck in that little bit of dirt! lol
Hey anything’s possible 🤣🤣
@@MOONEYDashCam well....even if u thought you might get stuck, NEVER, EVER say that unless you're getting ready to cross a flash flood in the middle of a snow storm - then all of the veteran off-road 4x4 drivers will say, "that looks hard, but go for it!"
Lol! Always great videos! 👍
they should not destroy and demolish them they should fix them up and make apartments out of them for the homeless and needy
The problem may be all unmarked graves. No one wants to live or work in a building on top of dead bodies. There are small flat concrete grave markers with no name, just a number all over. No records of who they are.
Pilgrim State is creepy. We used to go drive there at night. Are you old enough to remember Edgewood? It was on Commack Road. Was in Deer Park. That's where I grew up. Edgewood was so scarey. Google that building. They knocked it down. It was part of Pilgrim State. But not on the property. It was gothic looking. I didn't live by it my mother wouldn't live by it. But you could see it for miles.
Not for Nothing..your probably in the safest part of Brentwood there is these days. The people are locked up.
54 grew up in Deer Park hung in Edgewood late 70s All of the 80s running wild party every night awesome building sick architecture the crown highest spot on Long Island could see NYC from up there great memories
Hey ...thats my house !!!😳
Social distancing turned out to be a made up thing. Funny to hear you say it. Seems like so long ago. Great video..
MOONEY Just curious you reside in long island??
Yes sir
Mooney do u have your own place or do u still live with parents..just curious that's all..
MIDHUDSON PSYCHIATRIC in New Hampton Ny is still open, I did chaplaincy work there for five years. It is for the criminal insane.
Midhudson I thought is for mostly competency restoration cases, no ?
@@kerim1035 I believe you are correct. When I was there, the patients were getting ready to have appointments with their judges. A friend of mine still is a minister there at MHPC.
I have some Ex's that belong here
Hahaha
I grew up in Long Island. Your background history commentary was fascinating but too many interruptions of you talking to yourself. When you go back to your notes you sound a bit distracted. (For example, the abandoned tuberculosis building was called Edgewood, but the second time you mentioned it you called it Edgewater.) It's very difficult to do live detailed narration. Even with a script I couldn't do it. (I live in Hollywood and worked in recording studios) A voiceover would've been a better choice. Having said that, I really enjoyed the video. Creepy and entertaining!
Edgewood state hospital Deer Park NY AKA Mason general hospital I know mad history I'm 54 crazy shit WW2 soldier 🪖 rehab & Nazi pow held at Edgewood awesome bldg should make a movie about Edgewood & Pilgrim they were connected through tunnels some are still there that's a fact
it's better to explore it by Bike
Have you ever thought of driving a smaller car? you wouldn’t spend a fortune on gas driving that 250 around!😆
The F250 gets the highest view
CK POST! 014! IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW!😂😂😂
I pulls these locations that you go to up on Google maps just for the fun of it.
That’s why I give the addresses so you guys can look into they yourselves if you want
@@MOONEYDashCam Thanks.
Crazytown NY.
all of these places have closed , they're now our nabours.
Their is another psyched ward in smithtown.
Looks like a college campus to me lol
It does resemble that
Yes! I thought of some of the big campuses here in Florida, but a lot of them look like this, all around the country. I wonder if they used some of the same architects.
Fun fact my moms work is behind the abandoned hospital
That's my hood... Regis Park
Crooked Hill Rd
Scary is all the garbage along side the road.Lets make america beautiful again hmm... Another great vid!
