In this episode we take a look inside a large abandoned asylum facility that was built in the 1930s. Electricity worked in every building which were all connected via active steam tunnels. Unfortunately, we left sooner than expected since alarms were triggered.

Love that you guys aren't insufferable hype beasts like all the other urbex channels out there
facts and none of that clickbait bs
You could say they are very proper.
They lived up to their names as "the proper people"

HEYGUYSWEGOTASICKVIDEOTODAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
I would actually sh*t myself if I was exploring this place in a different part of the building and the intercom came on out of nowhere saying "all nurses please report to the operating room."
would be a great spook for sure lol
It would scare me to but it would be kinda funny
The intercom was hella cool. This video reminds me of the Original Horror Story with the asylum.
@@thegreatlakestrucker an american horror story?
I woulda played the monsters inc earrape sound over the intercom system
"All nurses please report to the operation room."
Security Guard on another floor: "Holy $#!%, this place IS haunted!"
😂
Lmao
lmfaoooo xD
Lmaoooo
More like: "Goddamn! Freaking kids! Again?! Where is my shotgun?"
Other Urbex channels: "YooOOo thiS plACe is HaunTeED!!"
The Proper People: " that was a really good drip sound. i liked that drip sound."
lmao
This is very accurate. They don't click bait, no "You Won't BELIEVE WHAT WE FOUND?!>>>!???!:!?"
that's exactly why I consider they are the best :p

I read this at the same time he said it! Haha good timing.
@@BalboaBaggins People have to make money somehow, and at least its not Audible.
That bowling alley should be preserved, I'd pay a lot to play at such a place.
My really old church has an ancient two lane like that in their basement. Last I used it everything still worked. I liked working in the back setting the pins in the correct spots on that pin setting tray and then sending the balls back.
Me too. What year approximately do you think they’re from?
It looks like it’s in decent shape, someone could bowl there without warped boards and such...?
I bowled there with my stepbrother when he was a patient there years ago.
I worked there til it closed...those lanes have been warped since the 70's lol
That bowling ally with all the sounds that nobody has heard in ages... This is why I watch!
or whoever left the last pins standing up!
That bowling alley was ridiculously vintage. From the lights for the ways with the green enamel paint, to the jointed, WOODEN ball returns. Absolutely amazing.
I love that moment, the slo-mo, the music. That bowling ally got the chance to live and breathe again. Its beautiful~
Its eerie in a way.
The sound of it. Man I'd buy one lane if I could. That old mechanism sounds so good.
That dino stuffed animal has his own room, he's living the life
I would have taken him and put him in my collection of rare stuffed animals (also yes I do have weird collections)
A DinoUrbex teaser.
I would have brought him to the bowling alley!
He was cute!
Agreed
@@user-ru9wf4yx7r I honestly would have too
Having worked on steam turbines most of my adult life I can tell you yeah it gets hot around those steam lines! One touch on any exposed metal and you get a nasty burn and that water will burn real bad too. You also have to watch for steam leaks that you can hear but are not visible, they can actually cut you.
Good to see you wearing respirators with all that mold but where's yer boots? Great explore, cool place. Little Dino just chillin' lol!
Stay safe.
@Super Nova more than u think the captial power plant in dc uses steam
@Super Nova New york City uses the most steam in modern day. watch some of the vids on youtube
They wear boots 🥾
I worked in various buildings in NYC for over 40 years and they all used steam for the turbines.
@@obsoleteoptics A lot of the time I see them wearing sneakers. Kinda hard to se in this one actually.
Shutting yourself in that padded room with what appeared to be a live and unpredictable mag lock - you guys are brave!
Fun fact, all you have to do to get out if it malfunctions, is cut the power. Not hard
@@swirrllfolfsky9803 how would you suggest they cut the power whilst locked in the room without tools?
Fun fact, mag lock doors nearly always have a backup power source to prevent the lock losing power during a power cut - normally a big ass battery in the roof space.
@@alastairjones0 another fact, according to safety codes, the button has to be pressed for the lock to engage, and there's always an emergency cutoff switch nearby. I know this because I've spent 6 years of my childhood in facilities with rooms like that.
@@swirrllfolfsky9803 sure, but the security cutoff switch won’t be located in a room that is supposed to detain people?
As my original comment stated, due to the condition of the building and what must be poorly maintained electrical circuits, I personally wouldn’t trust the locking mechanism to function correctly (unpredictable) therefore in my opinion they were brave to enter and close the door.
Look forward to your next fact though 😁
@@alastairjones0 the cutoff switch would be wired between the locking button and the maglock. If they got stuck, they could just yell to their friend who was nearby. Remember, there were 4 of them, and if they were out of hearing range, they have cell phones.
Meanwhile the 70 year old Custodian just walking into the building and saw a bunch of ghostly nurse flowing to the operating room.
the 50 other operating rooms: *am I a joke you you?*
16:36 "it's like a holy grail for the bowling ball"
Sooo... the Bowly Grail?
this. this is the comment that deserves an award
well played sir.
Nice
I see what you did there! Yeet!
It's actually just an ashtray someone put a ball in
Couldn’t imagine being a pipe fitter back in the day. That is a lot pipe to run.
Job security.
A lot of those pipes are wrapped with asbestos. You can see the white wrapping on them and where it is peeling in places. Very toxic to breath that stuff.

@Super Nova The steam would typically be generated on a campus level, not necessarily on a city level. Many hospitals and universities throughout the country have a central steam generation unit because it is much more efficient.
I like the part at the end of the tunnel where the piping becomes the walkway lol
I love Bryan's fascination with the light fixtures in every place they go 🤣
I'd hope this grows some. Old light fixtures are pretty interesting to me. I'd like to see him encounter a T17 fluorescent fixture. They don't look much different from most standard old fixtures that have four foot long T12 tubes in them. The most notable difference is that T17s are five feet long and about 2 inches in diameter. It is something you have to actually hold in your hand to really appreciate the size of the tubes. I have only seen two in my life. It is pretty sad considering I was born in the 90's. I have talked to many people well older than me about them and they have no idea what they even are. There isn't much online about them either. This building probably had them before modernization. T17s lost popularity around the fifties/sixties in favor of T12s.
Yeah, when they're on a track though it's not the same 🤷♂️
@@555technoboybros the light lieutenant 🫡
*alarm is going off* I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH THAT!!! I was dying
I wanna know what they touched.
@@fritzdecat Most likely a fire alarm system going off. The sound & light patterns outside of the building indicate that this could be what happened lol. Would scare the shit out of me if this happened when I was exploring.
it was a "system sensor" brand fire alarm judging by the horn sound, either they pulled a pull station mounted on the wall or somone played with the panel, most of these abandoned systems break over time especially the smoke detectors, and listening to the panel buzzer when they would enter each building sounds like there was a fault and the system was in alarm mode then acknowledged and silenced one of them probably pressed the system reset button and the broken smoke detector triggered it to alarm again. probably didn't know how to shut it off after that.
@@kadelubensky7176 ftw. Thanks mate.
@@kadelubensky7176 They were actually Siemens UMMTs going off
"you dont see these lights anymore" talking about the big globe ones
me: looks nervously at my kitchen, which has three of those near exact lights
lol
Did no one else catch that spongebob reference
"Hes just standing there... menacingly"
you must watch Spongebob Square Pants. lol
I did immediately. And smiled about fond memories of my childhood.
It looked like he was standing in a dried-up puddle of his own wizz...
@Cock_Huge lp2 nope. Spongebob reference. When spongebob took the hall monitor job just a little too seriously and went on “patrol”. Patrick became his deputy and said that line later in the episode.
"GET OUT OF THERE SPONGEBOB"
Damn just ending on that padded room. How many minds must have been trapped in there. Soo creepy and sad.
So many
I think they call them quiet rooms now.
I'd spend a night in there with a straight-jacket just for the lols
*fire alarm going off*
"I told you not to touch that!!"
I’m genuinely curious how it actually went off. Although not surprising because it seems like the fire panel in every building had a continuous tone
I don't think it was a fire alarm, I think it was the alarm from a escaped patient they probably tripped it messing with the Padded room
@@timothygolden6871 That is a fire alarm temporal pattern. Other alarms for something like a patient emergency or breach would have a different sound/pattern.
@@abpsd73 Yes, I work in a hospital and our fire alarm sound just like that. It's ear bleeding loud.
If the power is on, don't touch the pull station 😂
Wow, this one really had it all - working power, running water, the infamous padded room, intercom, playful banter, bowing alley, AND an alarm escape. Hands down 10/10
"What's that humming you turned on?"
"Machine."
Thanks, Sherlock
The best part about staying there was having the tunnels to go jogging in. Why do all of these places look like they are in PA?
I've driven through pa twice and I hear ya on that. Pa is a pretty dang big state and being in the north east with high population and its rural-ness makes me think there are probably huge abandoned facilities like this hidden there
PA Native here. I can't recognize the location. But it looks very PA like.
I was thinking the same thing. I lived in Pennsylvania for 36 years.
Its probably not PA because I see New York License plates in the last 20 seconds of video.
Looks like penhurst state school
This place has its own on-site power plant, so there is no electric company "leaving the power on". Last I saw, 4 buildings were still in use, so they have to run the power plant. The plant is likely co-generation, where the steam-generated electricity also heats the buildings, so thats why there is still steam running through the pipes, to hear the 4 buildings in use.
This place did get in trouble for billing the government 5 million dollars for heating costs because they didnt shut the heat/steam off in several closed buildings between 2014 and 2017.
Where is this place
@@BillyGc Amenia, NY
There was still 1 building operating on campus as of 2019. Not sure if it still is currently though.
@@nostalgic90s56 Correct. Only one building is regularly utilized currently, although many are still powered and have heat to avoid bursting pipes and flooding the buildings, unlike the former Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center in Wingdale, NY
How is it generates the power there must be fuel burning somewhere to generate the steam needed to generate the electric and heating
“Hey babe wanna go bowling I know a place?”
“Sure! Take me there!”
We pull up to the abandoned building
“Why did you take me to an abandoned asylum? I’m scared.” 😂
@@elizabethray7773 I think my ex wife would've been right @ home there🤪
Please be careful guys :( Legionnaires' disease could be an issue with those taps and showers.
It be more dangerous if they were older age. Plus it's not all that more likely to catch from abandoned ones from the ones they use every other day.
I'd have been more worried about the warm pools of water in the tunnels. Legionella are aerobic; I wouldn't expect them to survive in stagnant pipes.
The irony that you said " This is nuts. " In a padded cell in an asylum is epic.
I had that thought :)
An asylum with a bowling alley? Now that's something we don't see everyday
@@redgreen7021 Wow that is some nice information thx for sharing!
Totally agree, plus the videography and editing is excellent. I always feel like I get a good look at the abandoned location.
Norwich State Hospital in Connecticut had a bowling alley before it was demolished.
Crazy, right?
The one from the movie "Girl, Interrupted" had one.
The place is absolutely amazing. Surprised its not vandalized and tagged all around yet. I am quite happy about that.
The vandals are too chicken to enter the building
I'm glad this building had alarms like they had hopefully it should deter copper thieves etc
It's the bowling alley, all thoughts of vandalism are gone as soon as they bowl a few games and realize that vandalism is bad.
@@deniseshephard3347 Yeah, hopefully this place stays pure for quite some time. Although people always find ways, its quite sad.
@@Kori-nya-music it is sad that places like this are found easy I guess its people who want to act and look hard while go asking around sadly that's the web
I was surprised with the amount of risk you guys where taking that isn’t like you guys
Agreed. All the noise they were making was giving me anxiety. I explored this place 4 years ago and at that time the building adjacent to the bowling alley was still very much active.
as long as they dont break anything
They do dumb shit when they're with other people. I always hate the videos when they have other people with them the most because their friends all seem like idiots.
@@Darxide23 Agreed
Just be more cautious when you’re with other people, we tend to let our guard down.
Dude that place is spooky as hell. The lack of vandalism and the feeling that everyone just up and left one day, adds to the spook factor.
So many people getting on you about the "annoying friends" what people seem to miss, is they seem to be more familer with the place than you, like they knew the stage light didn't work, knew alley 2 worked, and other insights, so It's my assumption they have been there before and if anything they broguht you on the explore, likely locals or something vs you bringing them, mayeb your transportaiton even. As such their "participation" may not have been optional, if it's kinda their access that got you the intel. Also it is typically better exploring in groups in case there is a problem, door gets locked behind you (like the paddded room) or you get lost, or have a medical issue. I didn't find them that anoying they really weren't in the video that much, until the end where they probably set off that alarm anyway lol.
The stage light didn't work because they didn't let the bulb warm up, it's like an HPS, it doesn't just "come on" at the flip of a switch.
I noticed that. This definitely wasn't their first time there, or they'd done a crap ton of research before going into it.
Are you still a furry?
Sometimes having people with you (other than maybe you and your small group) can get to be a problem, particularly if there are too many people (draws too much attention). My other problem with having too many people is I've been in groups where people basically chicken out after the first floor, and they claim to be hardcore urbexers..... or they're in too much of a rush (I suaully spend about an hour at most of the locations I visit and try to visit all places at least once to make sure I have seen everything). But it is good to go in small groups, for safety reasons, especially in certain areas of the country where crime might be high, like NYC, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Gary, etc.
HPS? is that high-pressure sodium discharge bulbs?
“Hey cousin, it’s your cousin, let’s go bowling.”
At an asylum
"Ahhh, sorry Roman. I can't right now."
I still can't believe they were able to take a shot at the pins (you can tell I'm not a bowler). That was so cool.
@@SergeantExtreme "Okay, maybe another time."
🌭ua-cam.com/video/XboQDvsn9KQ/v-deo.html
Holy shit.... The fact this bowling alley was still working is incredible, this makes the whole video.
".."Ended our exploration for the day" OOOOOOOO Really hoping this becomes a series!!
Judging by the "Next Video" slot at the end cards, I'd say so!
They need a warning lmao it made me jump out of my skin 🤣
Is that you in your pfp? If so, you look adorable lol
Don't bring those friends again. You guys are much better on your own. I don't think you have ever been this careless before. I was surprised at how loud you were being. Them being there definitely changed the way you normally act
I totally agree!
Honestly pretty funny if you ask me, Definitely not safe but very entertaining.
Agreed. Every time they bring others, they change. I even commented about it on that video and they responded.
i some what agree.but if you went somewherre adbandon that cool wouldnt you bring your freinds
Literally everyone acts different around different people, including you. They are just people, they can be shown to be having fun sometimes and not always be somber just because it's the character you're used to
I'm shocked that they tried the intercom! It's cool that it still works, but I would be extremely worried about the potential for it to be broadcasting into an active building or outside!
It's really interesting how some people are saying this is the best video they've made, and others are appalled at their unusually irreverent behavior.
I think the focus should be on the exploration, not the people in it. They had too many. Also by the end it was becoming closer to vandalism than exploring.
they've 100% made a few better videos in the past. The Chinese places were great, and the overgrown what was it, a church or something?
agree with the latter! explores tend to be best with two people, three at most. there's too much chatter and people wandering in front of the camera.
and normally the guys don't make that much noise, play with the lights, or take chances that might draw attention to them - which is what i appreciate about them in the first place.
@@Mech288 If it was vandalism they would have been damaging stuff. They clearly were not. If you have more than just the two of you, the chances are you won't be able to complete your exploration because someone is going to pull something and set off alarms. Still, a great exploration.
@@joefranks4235 I agree no property damage, but they were pushing their luck messing with so many expensive things.
Shockingly little vandalism, if only more places could be left in as pristine a condition...
Too many numnuts disclose locations. Just saw one I've known since the early 2000's, and its been totally trashed x1000...people fail to realize how lame it is telling the world all about this hobby.
I'm surprised nobody is living in there. You have people who live in tents and under bridges when this place has everything you need. Heat, water, and shelter. Bathrooms and electricity. There's black mold and asbestos, but when your eating out of a garbage can that seems trivial.
@@SuperWilliamholmes The area might not be that poor.
That bowling alley was cool. I’ve never seen a manual pin setter before.
Some of the old stuff was nuts huh. I don't envy the original guys who got paid a few cents to be target practice for rich dudes when they did it all by hand lol.
I worked on the newer Brunswicks and as much as i hate the dirt the belts throw everywhere it's so much safer.
That goes to show you that the early 20th century has everything up their sleeves
Just to show a bit of pride, I would have taken the time to clean out the ball and pin pits, and set everything back up to look like the system was ready to go at the flip of the lights again. 🎳🎳🎳🎳 😃😗🥺🤗
pinsetters are dangerous
I'm surprised homeless aren't using the flush toilet and electricity.
You guys should be wearing masks in those tunnels as that’s asbestos wrapped around all those steam pipes
I didn't know what that word meant, so thanks. Learned something on the comments.
The shots of the bowling alley and the gym were incredible.
Now we know where to go for free bowling.
Those shots are the reason I watch this channel. Loved that part.
I absolutely love your videos they are awesome.
I don’t want to be a “safety Sally” but do you guys have the right gas detectors?
When in tunnels and confined spaces you need gas detectors because gases present or lack of atmosphere can lead very quickly to fatalities.
Hate to be the one to say it and spoil things but I have a “duty to care” and I want you to continue to make awesome content.
No. It's a very courteous thing to care for others. You're a good person.
@@JurassicGlitchy thank you for your kind comment.
You guys REALLY need to be wearing respirators and clothes you only wear while exploring. You were literally brushing past MOUNDS of asbestos, and in almost every other video too. You're going to get mesothelioma or cancer if you don't protect yourselves. Also, mold can be really bad for your lungs. Also, bring Geiger counters into places with medical equipment. Abandoned imaging machines can produce quite a bit of radiation. Stay safe!
I've been following these guys for a super long time and people mention this often, but for whatever reason they just refuse to actively do it. I think the damage is probably done at this point.
I know, right?
At 2:36 you can clearly see the warning at the door:
DANGER - Contains asbestos fibers.
Avoid creating dust.
Cancer and lung disease hazard.
I’ve commented with the same warnings in several of their videos,too. I forget which one it was but they were walking amongst old broken up corrugated asbestos pipe insulation laying on the ground. You could almost see the dust from it in the air. Mesothelioma is no joke and if they keep it up it will catch up to them sadly.
I wouldn’t go in that tunnel unless I was suited up in tyvek with a full face N100 respirator. I used to be a pipe fitter and we were allowed to remove a limited amount of asbestos on jobs. We took it seriously and treated it with extreme care/respect.
"it housed over 5,000 patients in 30 buildings, many of which are still standing."
*the buildings or the patients*
Lol I thought the exact same thing
What I don’t get is how a place like this can be “accessible” and easy for you guys to run around in making noise etc but no evidence of any vandalism or graffiti?!
@@terrytwo really strange, isn’t it! Wish I could find an abandoned place like that - what an incredible explore!
This video would have been better had you not brought all these other people. They kinda ruined the experience. I've never seen you guys be disrespectful till this video.
yeah i thought that, too.
I wouldn't really call anything they did disrespectful, or damaging, risky perhaps, but it's not like the place is in perfect conditoon. , another scuff on the floor or a ball isn't going to really matter.
I'm lost on what they did that was "disrespectful". They didn't break anything.
Next explore please dont bring stupid friends
I would never go with those idiots. These guys are much smarter and don't do half the stupid things those friends did. They are going to get them caught and arrested if they aren't careful, or worse, seriously hurt.
I agree....they really cheapened their usual professionalism.
This.
Yep
💯
It's like Girl Interrupted, Sneaking down tunnels to the bowling alley
This is what I came to say! The asylum that they filmed girl interrupted in was abandoned around 2006 apparently so I thought it might be the one but who knows.
The respect of the building you usually have and necessary precautionary measures are noticably gone from this video. Which is disappointing. You guys are really underestimating how much damaged you're doing to your body by not wear the proper protective equipment. And it just makes me uncomfortable to see you guys constantly playing with everything there and being loud when you usually wouldn't. This just doesn't seem like a respectful UrbEx exploration like I've come to appreciate from your channel.
Trying switches and mechanisms is not disrespecting the building. The safety gear is a valid point but that applies to all of their videos. I don't get why it's so bad that they showed them having a little more fun in this video. Which they obviously do in other videos anyway you know, just off camera
I agree. The vibe on this vid was more "kids messing around" rather than the simple respectful and brilliant documentation of a space like they normally post.
You guys should always find the fire alarm panels in these buildings with power and remember where they are in the event that you activate the system. While you can't make the strobes stop without resetting the pull station, you can silence the system so it doesn't make noise.
hi tyler
Provided the panel is unlocked. My question would be is it monitored and did the Fire Department show up?
I could see why they rushed out but it's not a burglar alarm. Unless they accidentally pulled it could've been a fault in the system or real.
@@trevormacewan Depends on the age of the system. I kinda doubt this particular system was monitored.
Usually they never take so much risk and act so careless. It was not them it was those friends.
💯
When you’re with friends you kinda do that. Bad influence haha
yeah.
"hey look! there's electricity! let's mess with the lights that can be seen from outside of the building!"
"let's start talking on an intercom that we have no clue where it broadcasts too!"
"hey, look! let's make noise in this echo-ey bowling alley by throwing a heavy polymer ball at a bunch of wooden pins, no one will hear!"
yeah... it's better when they explore by themselves.
Still pretty funny tho
probably them that had to push the fire button too, just to see if it worked.
So what caused the alarms to sound tell us guys lol don't leave us hanging !
"I told you not to touch that!" lmaoooo probably someone going "oo what does this do?"
It was the fire alarm that was activated.
I'm wondering the same thing--
Usually they show what happened that led up to something unexpected like an alarm going off so I wonder what was different this time
Definitely upset the fire alarm. If they had an alarm for patient trouble it would have been different from the fire alarm as to not confuse staff or patients.
Someone likely was messing with the fire alarm master panel and accidentally set the alarm off. Near the end of the video you can hear the panel beeping around the 24:40 mark.
Ok now go back, just the two of you, and redo this video the proper way !
That's what I was thinking too
Yea, what a shame they had to leave early. This site was pristine with no vandalism, tags, etc. I hope it wasn't one of the others they brought that caused that alarm.
@@SymeonPhronema it was definitely one of the others that set off the alarm. You could sense the annoyance throughout the video.
You know these guys are getting older when they go "oh man i'm gonna throw my back out" lmao love the content guys!
I can't with my anxiety when ever you guys go in tunnels or tight spaces. " make sure that doesn't lock behind you". Yet I watch to the very end without skipping.
I can’t believe this place still has electricity and plumbing, I have so many questions like why is this place so well preserved and how it still has power.
who is still paying for it?
It's a state ran facility and is still partially active
@@addicted2bass87 it is actually fully shut down now. No one is there anymore. It's being zoned for other purposes currently...
counterintutively, they'll often leave water and steam on in places like that for maintenance - so that the pipes don't burst. sometimes electricity is needed for that. other times, electricity is left on for security purposes. other times, like with abandoned houses bought up by a development company, you will see utilities restored because they are preparing to demolish them. it is a waste of utilities, but i am likewise impressed by the facility's pristine condition!
@@kellyngrey4950 I didn’t know that, thanks
I'd be so afraid of stepping into water and getting electrified by something downed and still on
Then wear some rubber boots
meh, if your feet is only touching the water, you'll be fine. but if you touch some wires with your hands, you'll get shocked. just wear shoes/rubber boots and you'll be fine.
Not into the lore but that Dino was an SCP if I’ve ever seen one
Next time instead of running when the fire alarm goes off find the panel and silence the alarm!
My ex stepbrother was a patient there years ago when he was about 13 years old. Whenever I visited him we bowled there. I remember it like it was yesterday
You guys produce incredible vids when you explore alone but you didn't seem to capture the vibe in this one perhaps distracted with the others being there. Also have to say too much shenanigans turning stuff on all the time that in the end cut short an epic explore.
way too much fkingaround
It's missing the informational and artistic vibe they normally have in their videos.
When I was born in 1990 my parents called to place me institutions such as this. Hundreds of thousands of disabled people with both physical and mental disabilities were condemned to places like this to rot. A good book to read about first-hand experience about living a place like this is the state boys rebellion by Michael D Antonio.
Did you go?
I’m sorry 😞
Jesus, that's horrific. I'm so sorry. I'm definitely gonna be checking the book out.
I’m so glad these don’t really exist anymore. I would be sent there for my mental shit
It's were the demon possessed were placed.
I took one look at the amount of mold in that place when you guys first entered and yelled "PLEASE tell me they have respirators this time!"
not mentioning all the asbestos in those tunnels!😬
They just started tearing down Allentown State hospital about a month ago.
This one?
@@Jordanninja09 No. Allentown State hospital is a different one they explored before it got demolished.
everybody gangster till the intercom comes on:
"Mobile task force unit epsilon 11, designated nine tail fox, has entered the facility ..."
i would scream "containment breach, commence emergency evacuation" in the intercom whenever someone would be here
It's not a Proper People video without at least one "holy cow".
I was reading this as he said it😂
@@sef11996 whenever I read "holy cow" anywhere I hear it in Michael's voice lol.
He's just stading there.....menacingly! (Love that spongebob reference there boys)
Normally I love watching you guys' videos, this one included. Up until the fire alarm went off.
You shouldn't go exploring with people that mess with stuff like that. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for exploring these places, but please do it responsibly :/
Same here but I think it was one of their friends that set it off. Maybe they shouldn’t hang out with the other people
I love these guys and think all of their content is great. I don't think it's a problem if they want to bring other explorers, though for their own safety, it may not always be the best idea. Triggering the alarm was not a good idea. It looks like they had plenty of time to get out, but it may not work out that way in the future. These guys are obviously extremely smart and resourceful people, so I'm sure they will go alone in the future if they think that there will be a problem.
I really hope they turned lights back off and actually put the resus doll all the way back in its bag. This video felt so different in terms of the respect they showed the building, namely that there was far less.
They probably left out the shots of them putting everything back because of time. I doubt when editing or recording they were like "the audience MUST see us put this dummy back!" You don't see them leaving stuff on in the shots, because the shots hard cut away. That's probably because they didn't record or leave in those moments, since I doubt people came to see them put stuff back.
Everyone is complaining about how they're different when they're with their friends, Uh? Yeah that's how that work's... I'm pretty sure you're different with your family than with your friend group. However I also found this incredibly entertaining with the added recklessness.
Sometimes it's fun to watch them goof around i think.
And even their recklessness is more mature than a lot of Urbexers calmness
Yeah Bryan & Michael being "Fun" is actually so mild that I honestly don't know what the hell everyone is referring to
to me I don't really see much difference in their personalities or how they relate to each other or to the others, when they have anyone else with them. They generally seem to stay pretty much the same Michael and Bryan. :)
@@EphemeralProductions In the last video they goofed around in the Slides so i don't know what people are talking about.
I used to be a big urbex when I was younger back when it wasn't so popular, and we had no you tube, we just took photos and once in awhile some souvenirs, but now I just watch you young folk do it now, so I appreciate you guy's thanks for taking the rain's and shining a light on urbex, and remember be safe and keep a vigil on Security, these places always have some kind of it .
Door has a sign with DANGER on it... Response: "who goes first?" 😂😁
FWIW it was an asbestos warning, not that it makes it any better
So who thought pulling the fire alarm was a good idea? 😂😂
Mental hospitals normally have alarm boxes that are key activated to keep patients from pulling them. They probably messed with a control panel or it malfunctioned.
Those tunnels were like the scene in The Simpsons where they rebuild Ned Flanders house in the episode where he goes crazy and the hallway just gets smaller and smaller.....lol
If this has been closed for 10 years, who the hell is paying the water/power bill?
Probably the state
The gov
You, if you live in that state.
The taxpayers
Prob the government but also sometimes the electric/water companies forget to shut things off even if they aren't payed
I wonder why power and water are still on for this place? Its so strange how everything still works
I just find it crazy that that CPR dummy was still there, from Laerdal, those are stupid expensive and looked pretty new.
Laerdal started manufacturing the Resusci Anne QCPR doll in 2013, if it has been closed for 10 years, i find it odd that they're there.
I work at a healthcare school where we use them, i had to research them before we got them, since they're so expensive :P
@@N3MAID3S oh wow, that's insane! I wonder if maybe the building is used for storage or something, then? Definitely a weird place they found
@@kittikat4124 was my thought as well and would explain why there's power maybe 😀
They forgot about it. Happens a lot, especially since it isn't somebodies house and what not. For reg civilians they will shut you down quick if you forget to pay for your bill. For abandoned hospitals, shit can stay on and just be buried in a room filled with paper work...and they just don't care.
It is a state ran facility and several buildings on the campus are still used as offices for state employees.
Just be careful when turning on taps, showers etc that have not been turned on in a while as there is a chance of legionnaires, which is something you do not watch to catch!
Great video! Love your work :-)
@@Nighterlev It's probably just to keep the pipes from freezing.
@@Nighterlev I think they were talking about the taps/showers in the bathroom upstairs, not the steam tunnels downstairs.
there is a cogen electric plant onsite that generates electric to 4 of the still in use buildings. the by product is steam so it doesn't cost more to heat the water.
Who the F touched the alarm lol. You guys have to agree no bs messing around when going to such places
It was probably one of the randoms they were with
Actually you would think they would have some knowledge of security systems for how much they b&e so they could skirt their detection or turn them off in this case
@@kBitre Sounded like the fire alarm more than a security system imo
Ghosts and demons be racking up that power and heating bill like they own the place.
Man I wish I had the money and the space to save that bowling alley and restore it!!! that bowling was beautiful
This is definitely the most careless I've seen em act in a hot minute, surprised it took that long for an alarm to go off haha, but what set it off?! Glad ya guys made it out without getting busted again though
Sounded like there was a system trouble by the beeping, so there could have been a fault somewhere that managed to become an alarm (such as a wet smoke detector.) I would hope nobody was dumb enough to yank a pullstation
@@abpsd73 "I told you not to touch that!" says it all
@@abpsd73 I think one of the friends pulled the fire alarm
Mental Hospitals have key activated alarm boxes so patients don't pull it. The other ways of setting it off are the control panel, malfunctions or the alarm senses smoke or if a high powered laser points at it.
@@Andreas--- I think he was referring to her grabbing the pipe because it was hot. Could be wrong.
Who can possibly be paying the bill for the extremely hot water?? And the electricity?? My God what a waste.
A lot of the infrastructure is failing as well. Wouldn't be surprised if this place got completely flooded out within a few years.
probably was funded by the government so I assume utilities are free?
A lot of places that leave the power on do it to detour copper thieves and vandals. You're going to really think twice about cutting into wiring when it's still hot.
The steam is heating all the buildings and they might still be using something there, I have seen videos of a place that was still used for archiving records and so on.
@@Gaelztorm free? or paid for by all citizens?
Watching the bowling lane be used again for the first time in a long time and probably for the last time ever is why I love this channel!
The asbestos pipes alone would have me wearing a respirator in those closed quarters.
Most likely triggered a pull station. If the building still has heat and power, its is not "abandoned" it is "idled". These structures still require full fire protect under the NFPA and building codes. How long before the police and fire dept showed up? Which they would... since a pull station could be used to summon aid in a medical emergency and the main panel would tone out to the local PSAP. I thought you guys prided yourselves on being "respectful" to the places you explore? What is this bullshit of fucking around with everything and causing harm to the community by distracting first responders? What if there was a real emergency someplace else and those same first responders got delayed in getting there and someone died because they had to first clear your bogus call???
it was the adhd beanie kid and/or the girl they were with who triggered the fire alarm
It bothers anyone else he didn't put the resuscitation dude back as he found it? >: (
yeah me... When they are with other people, they aren't that proper to let the stuff how they found it.
yea me too... wasn't a fan of their friend either. like with did that guy expect pulling the fire alarm?
Bryan and Michael, you have a particular way of doing things, but when you have other people with you, you seem to let your guard down. The others you had with you didn't have the same sense of seriousness the two of you have. If you have others with you they need to stay with you as a group. I think this video could have been a two version one, but others ruined it.
He did it off camera like the hours of other stuff you don't see. Jesus christ...
@@b1nary_f1nary prove it or stfu plz
I seriously would have made a Nurse Ratched reference on that intercom
“Attention, You’re eating my peach”
Love this comment 😂
That has to be hands down the best intact facility with so many working things I have ever seen on your channel . Also for lay person it's compression only and for professional it's 30 compressions 2 breaths and last the Orange board you saw next to the manikins it's called a CPR board . There is a head indention where you slide the board just under the shoulders and the head goes on that spot it opens the airway . I have used it many times works great . One more thing there were several old time suction units for when a victim vomits or has a lot of respiratory secretions that will be used .
Those units are 30 years old but here is the kicker volunteer ambulance services still use them today especially if they have little funding . Those CPR manikins easy 900 a piece I wish they would donate them to volunteers as they are most likely in decent working order as medical equipment from the past can keep going with little care because of how they were made back then . Hope that sheds some light on a couple things .
I’ve been on a “The Proper People” marathon. This content is AMAZING.
What did your friend touch to set off the alarm? ??
Great video have a great 2021 !
it was a Fire Alarm so somebody must have activated a Pull station. Pretty funny though! *I Told you not to touch that!*
That running faucet is probably the single reason for the depletion of the Colorado river.
that alarm, you guys should know that proper procedure is a slow, single-file line until the teacher says it's ok!
Imagine these videos with a 360 degree camera, so you could watch in VR!
Just explore yourself like a chad
The account department looking at the electrical bill increase ..🤔
Proper People: snickers😁
The hospital is gonna see the unusually high electric bill for that month and wonder why that is? Meanwhile you guys are trying every light switch you see. Lol awesome video as always
Doesn't get better than a Proper People Asylum exploration
Shouldn't mess with pull stations, you never know if they are still active.
If a building has power, more than likely the fire alarm and other systems are live. The system may no longer be monitored, and they probably didn't hang around to see if fire trucks showed up.
@Maiky Polanco go easy on the kids please. They (Bryan and Michael) appear to be pretty respectful most of the time. Can't speak for the others in their group.
@Maiky Polanco "We have faces now and state police are aware" You have got to live one sad existence to write comments like that on innocent videos like this. I suppose you'd rather the building stands empty and derelict forever? You surely know that what you're saying does not effect anything in reality. It just reveals to everyone that you are in a sad, bitter state of mind when you go around looking for videos and even go into the comments just to leave weird replies acting like you're trying to take down dangerous criminals when they're actually nice people who haven't done anything wrong. Trust you? The channel has been around for years doing this with millions of views on most videos without any trouble, so good luck with your crusade
Might not be a pull station, could be a smoke or duct detector or a tampered flow switch. I kept hearing those things beeping in the background.
That bowling alley has to be the highlight of this exploration. Of course the padded room is cool too, and not to mention the alarm at the end, but really liked the bowling alley.
The only living thing is mold and its overpoulating
right when the alarms went off I was getting ready to ask why they only explored 3 buildings lol
same! I paused the video to grab a cup of water when they were in the padded room and I went "oh? the video is almost over???"
Yeah, such a large complex with such a short video, then "surprise"
They could have also explored a couple more that didn’t have anything interesting in them
