I was a Western Union Telegraph delivery boy in my late teens and sometimes delivered telegrams to our local "TB" sanitarium (two blocks from my home!). Sometimes I'd have to collect for a message and the cash would be placed into an envelope and the first time I was going to seal the flap, a nurse said, calmly, "No. Think of where you are," and shoved a commercial moistener (a round sponge in a special dish) over in front of me. It strikes me now that we were never taught about contagion in school, other than quarantine for measles, mumps, and other kids' diseases. Spent my fifth birthday in a hospital ward with my leg in traction in 1945 and I can picture what this place looked like when still in operation. Wasn't too scary: a couple of pretty nurses came around and kissed me goodnight every night! Good video, guys!
@Bill Williams Well, I'll tell you, Bill, it would be an exercise in frustration---how best to word this?---like a dog chasing cars: I fear I wouldn't know what to do with it if I caught one (sorta!). But one really nice thing: when you get "up in years," you find yourself appreciating feminine beauty---and _class_---of, shall we say, older women. The "SWTs (Sweet Young Things)" are nice to be around and to look at, but I can appreciate the older ones better because they more probably know where I came from and what I went through.

The mixture of HNO3 (nitric acid) and HCl (chloric acid) is called "Königswasser", a German term which refers to its property to dissolve noble metals like gold and platinum (which no other acid can do) due to its formation of so-called NO radicals (which are very aggressive to cause chemical reactions). Likely it was used in this context in analytical chemistry to dissolve samples which would be otherwise hard to dissolve. Königswasser is not stable and needs to be used directly after it is freshly made. I worked with it, and would only handle it inside well vented hoods since it forms a lot of nitric gases. The solution does not attack glass, so it makes sense to keep it in this bottle temporarily while using it. Amazing that the label stayed intact for so long!
Interesting I decided to look this up you are on to something however I noticed another thing. Another name for this is aqua regia and it can be used to clean nmr tubes or break down gold. Now aqua regia is a very dark color If it is used to brake down gold it turns to a lighter yellow color called chloroauric acid which might also be here. Assume it is possible they dissolved the gold fillings and other things from the patients. Its a long shot but that could be gold laying on the ground. By no means am I a chemist though and it is hard to identify something by color alone.

As a professional microbiologist that works with mycobacterium daily - I’m glad you wore respirators. Those bacteria are so different than most and I can even imagine what I could culture out of those surfaces. It’s amazing how long those bacteria - and in this case I’m talking about Mycobacterium tuberculinum, can persist due to the very complex waxy coating they secrete to make a little “fort” to hide in and wait out long long long periods of time. They are nothing if not survivors.
@@Kaylisia25 the internet seems to think 6 months is the very top end for survivability on surfaces and air so..unlikely. The main hazard in that building at a guess would be disturbing hazardous substances, like whatever the heck is in those cylinders...
Great info.Asbestos in old & not so old buildings is not unknown, at 11:09 old medical equipment can be a hazard for a variety of reasons, look but don't touch.
I'd just add that the place was used as an old folks home after it was a TB ward so it was probably sanitized well prior to becoming an old folks home.
I worked in downtown Atlanta for years and rode the subway. Homeless people would sleep in the stations and Atlanta always had a high TB problem . Hated touching the hand rails up the escalator tube.
The sewing machines, perhaps used by elderly patients, were most likely used to sew draperies, hospital gowns, and curtains. Many years ago I worked in a hospital that had it's own textile "factory" for this purpose.
That was the very best sanatorium/sanitarium I've ever seen on You Tube! The sun porch with the copper awnings and the painted brick work with the sea shells was magnificent! The old medical/dental items were really interesting as were the labs. You guys hit the ball out of the park with this one!!!!!!
There's a reason these guys are the best. They don't disturb much on the sites, they don't waste time. They don't joke around. They're quiet and don't talk too much. They know what they're doing. And they're B-rolls are beautiful. I've been a subscriber for for over a year maybe 2 years, maybe more. Forget Exploring With Josh, Explore With Us, anybody who goes to Area 51, these guys are where it's at.
It would be really cool if people in the local medical community would donate time to archiving these records. There’s potentially many missing familial links because of the stigma from TB.
19:00 Looks like an old water sterilizing machine. Something that waste water that could be TB contaminated could run through and be sterilized before going into the main drain.
I have discovered your channel 2 days ago and I can't stop watching this kind of videos, they are so interesting. This channel is not like other channels: you give out historical facts, you don't overract when something happens, great camera quality, and no screaming. Keep up the great work!
Your camera and lighting just keeps getting better and better. I love that you move the cameras slowly and the editing is so smooth. I can really enjoy what record for us. I binged watched all of your videos while recoding from joint replacement. Keep them coming!!
I know you are likely trespassing and risking harm by entering those unsafe environments. But I thank you for that glimpse into our past. Never lose your curiosity.
10:45 Radioscopy equip. 13:20 In the middle, ancient UVC lamp. Ultraviolet C, bacteria killer by light. In the bottom part it's a big transformer used to light up the U shape lamp. It is like an huge foto-flash lamp 24:30 in the corner, it might be an ancient spirometer, used to observe the flow-volume charts of the respiration.
I really love the fact that there is so little scrapper an vandal damage to the buidings. With a little bit of imagination you can mostly figure out what was happening in a room & how it was done. This is just great, thank you
What is so interesting to me is that when looking at the rooms, things seem to be thrown around it. I'm sure no one left in a crazy hurry so why are desks, cabinets, etc on top of each other. It always amazes me in these places is how it looks like someone got caught doing something wrong so they threw things around and left. It is just bizarre! Thanks for keeping it real though and not trying to make this a ghost hunt when there is none to be had. Just cool to see all of this. Of course, I would still be back reading the files for hours. LOL
In the 80's my brother and I use to explore abandoned buildings. Before it had a name, Urban Exploration. I'm glad to see you guys do the same thing we did then. Leave everything intact and in place.
This place is AMAZING. I love all those old machines and files. The American shield tiles at 5:50 is gorgeous , if y’all made a print of that, I’d take two. It hard to believe details like this were once commonplace. I enjoy adding such details into my homes and know they take time and money, but make it all that more enjoyable to be there. Thanks for your efforts!
GreenAppelPie i was so happy to see that part. I live fairly close to that hospital, but I’ve never gone. And that specific part with all the tiling is the Womens’ Ward, pretty heavily guarded. I’ve never seen the inside and it’s so beautiful!
I love how that every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. You guys are literally the best in my opinion. Another great video. They just keep getting better and better.
Thank you for not making it creepy and just exploring the place. I love to watch these videos just to see how people lived their lives back then. Major props to you guys 👏🏻
@The Proper People You guys have great production values. Your videos aren't just videos, they're more like mini documentaries. I appreciate the research that you do for each place that you shoot. I am a subscriber and I look forward to your next video. I've watched your previous videos several times because they are so good. I think your videos are one of the best on TH-cam. Keep up the great work!
I totally agree about the museum for all the medical artifacts you filmed. I can't imagine what the loneliness must have been like for a child, a mother or a father or whoever to have to go to one of these places to "get well" and be separated from my family for months or sometimes years. I'm certainly enjoying your videos and would travel around exploring abandoned places if I could.
Thanks for such a fascinating video, I love looking at all the old medical devices, I have spent many years working as a biomedical technician repairing and maintaining all sorts of equipment, I sure would love to explore that place. I love all that old gear and would be able to describe what they are and how they would have been originally used. Sad to see it all rotting away, hopefully someone can save and preserve some of it.
Such an awesome channel. Its a look into the past. Its actually good that these places havnt been demolished because it's basically a 50 year old museum just sitting there.
Thanks for giving us the ability to see these amazing places. If guys like you didn't go out and document this stuff we would all be missing out on seeing incredible places such as this one. We likely would never know they even exist.
I can only find pictures that medical equipment in my aunt's nursing textbooks (she took up a bachelor's degree in Nursing back in the 70s, and some of her textbooks are dated 60s to 70s.), especially the oxygen tent. There were two types: the one that uses ice and the one that uses electrical refrigeration to cool the air-oxygen mixture circulating inside the tent. The apparatus that are shown in 24:33 is probably a bronchospirometer, used to measure the pulmonary volume of both two lungs (the amount of air that enters the lungs - usually measured in ml), or a volume-cycled ventilator.
Wow this was my favourite video in a long time! I would love to see a museum exhibit made out of these items, would be very cool to develop the building into maybe mixed residential and commercial space with a museum. I really do hope it gets saved.
This might be my fav video of yours, this place is just stunning. Relics and equipment of really long gone eras and architecture that would never be used in American institutions again. You two capture these places so well. Excellent!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was in military school on this compound during 9-11. There are a few active buildings there. Our barracks were in the old nurse's quarters. The main hospital is a geriatric psych hospital. We used to volunteer to help transport patients to church on Sunday. When we would go on runs we would run by all these buildings. I've always told people about how awesome this place was and definitely wanted to explore them. Thanks for taking the time to explore this archaic world.
That standing xray machine looked like a flouriscope. Think of it as a "live" xray, since you could look into a person as they stood there, rather than producing a film transparency.
i love that you did some research afterwards and added the bit about the examination table as well as all the general information about sanatoriums. it makes these videos so much more valuable.
I know I’m one person In the hundreds of thousands of people who subscribe to you guys but you guys are awesome. Thank you for awesome content and being nice people about your explorations.
What an incredible site to explore, so much there to see. In every one of your videos, I watch carefully for the records of patients especially from long, long ago. I love seeing the outdated wording, dating, conditions patients suffered from, treatments, comments, all of it!! Please show more records (that are appropriate to show) in future, it really is fascinating!
This Week in Proper People Bingo... Chairs Just Chillin':✔ Medieval Torture Devices:✔ Creepy Piano:✔ Modern Day HIPAA Violations:✔ Totally NOT Staged Hospital Beds and Chairs:✔
@@tgirlpride2024 Michael and Bryan arent but if the patient records were from 1996 onwards and weren't destroyed properly then the hospital would be in violation of HIPAA. That's why I said "modern day" violations.
Wow those old medical records are fascinating. It’s amazing how much of the medical culture and the state of the art is reflected in those documents. Wonderful footage as always!
The long tubes with the solid materials looking like yellow sand coming off could have been used as desiccants. Caustic soda (NaOH) pallets or or other salts would serve this purpose. Possible they dried air or other gases for some usage.
Looks to be using schedule 80 plumbing, double union ball valves, and regular braided flexible pvc tubing as the drain. The liquid was most likely pumped into the bottom of the tubes for maximum exposure to the red brown medium. With the ball valves the operator could adjust the flow rate to achieve ideal suspension / turbulence of the medium. The fluid drains out near the top of the cylinders and gets recirculated.

The caustic chemical is needed to regenerate the resin. Too bad it is broken, looks like some residual water froze and cracked the glass.

It’s a shame some of this stuff left to rot like the beds and desks I’ve restored everything from cars to houses to furniture and you would be surprised how little SOME stuff takes to repair/replace and make awsome again and of corse you don’t see this level of detail and real craftsmanship ever anymore I just restored a bankers desk and I reluctantly sold it for $2800 at auction
I got a big practical exam in network engineering tomorrow and the time is 22.00. Needed something to calm me down and proper peoples stuff is really relaxing in some way. Thanks!
The Proper People are my favorite urban explorers because they obviously have expertise in actual filmmaking. Other explorers use long, uncut tracking shots that give me motion sickness. You guys know what you're doing. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for what you do.
I think the restraints on the rolling cots weren't restraints. They were straps to keep you from falling off. They remind me of the straps on a ambulance gurney.
Agreed. TB patients were weakened; after long per bedridden, you’d lose muscle. Most probably the belts were to keep infirm or elderly people from falling over or out of the chair.
That "calculator" is an adding machine. My dad inherited one from his grandfather who passed in the early 90s. My great grandpa used it at work in the late 50s to early 70s. It's wild and very clicky when in use
The Jobst compression unit at 26:04 reminded me of some surgical stocking company (that still exists) and I looked it up. This unit was probably used to reduce the pressure in legs or arms caused by lymphedema after surgeries.
These Asylums/Hospitals always remind me of Outlast.. They’re probably the most creepy lost places to visit due to the actual suffering and sadness that took place there.
Finally! We get to see a rare floor number indicator and it turns out it's for a lousy Shaftway. I hate shaftways! Seriously though great place once again guys!
Minor detail: the faceted light parts @3:43 are "Fresnel," pronounced "Fray-NELL" or Fren-NELL." You guys always do a good job and obviously appreciate craftsmanship of the past. (BTW, I had to grin when I saw the shot of all the dust motes swirling in the shaft of light in your intro. There are so many people out there who immediately start freaking out about "ORBS!" every time a dust mote shows up, looking larger than life in the bright lights of the camera. If that were true, I used to see hundreds of spooks floating in shafts of sunlight coming in my bedroom windows when I was a Yard Ape!)
This would honestly do really well on tv. Love the way you record and respect each property. All the information given makes it even more interesting to watch. Thank you for making these videos.
Gotta be the cleanest buildings you guys have ever explored, and I've watched all your videos. There didn't appear to be any vandalism or looting. Amazing!
The sad part about these sanatoriums is that the patients often lived there their hole life. They could never go back to where they came from. More or less a prison.
great video guys! at 16:00 that medical setup was becca and fran that done that, and you can see on their video on abandonec central how things where better 2 years ago
Just subbed! I binge watched these videos!💖 Thank You for the videos. No drama, real, music isn't all over the place, music isn't louder than video, and information.

@@CreatedMind Caustic describes a chemical, it isn't a chemical itself. Anything that can burn tissue by chemical reaction is caustic. It's a warning description, like 'flammable"
As a professional microbiologist that works with mycobacterium daily - I’m glad you wore respirators. Those bacteria are so different than most and I can even imagine what I could culture out of those surfaces. It’s amazing how long those bacteria - and in this case I’m talking about Mycobacterium tuberculinum, can persist due to the very complex waxy coating they secrete to make a little “fort” to hide in and wait out long long long periods of time. They are nothing if not survivors.
@@Kaylisia25 the internet seems to think 6 months is the very top end for survivability on surfaces and air so..unlikely.
The main hazard in that building at a guess would be disturbing hazardous substances, like whatever the heck is in those cylinders...
Great info.Asbestos in old & not so old buildings is not unknown, at 11:09 old medical equipment can be a hazard for a variety of reasons, look but don't touch.
They did good wear that but didn’t wear gloves so they still run a risk of getting sick from a host of different ways
I'd just add that the place was used as an old folks home after it was a TB ward so it was probably sanitized well prior to becoming an old folks home.
I worked in downtown Atlanta for years and rode the subway. Homeless people would sleep in the stations and Atlanta always had a high TB problem . Hated touching the hand rails up the escalator tube.
The sewing machines, perhaps used by elderly patients, were most likely used to sew draperies, hospital gowns, and curtains. Many years ago I worked in a hospital that had it's own textile "factory" for this purpose.
Thank you so much to give me the opportunity to collaborate in this amazing video!
Where are you guys from?
That was the very best sanatorium/sanitarium I've ever seen on You Tube! The sun porch with the copper awnings and the painted brick work with the sea shells was magnificent! The old medical/dental items were really interesting as were the labs. You guys hit the ball out of the park with this one!!!!!!
Welcome back to another episode of: chairs, just chillin
Bryan & Michael have to do a “Chairs, Just Chillin’” compilation.
@@KatharineHolmes that would be great
Yes, but at least they aren't on tables
Lol
There's a reason these guys are the best. They don't disturb much on the sites, they don't waste time. They don't joke around. They're quiet and don't talk too much. They know what they're doing. And they're B-rolls are beautiful.
I've been a subscriber for for over a year maybe 2 years, maybe more. Forget Exploring With Josh, Explore With Us, anybody who goes to Area 51, these guys are where it's at.
“So the babies could do some pull-ups” that got a laugh out of me lol
Some of their families would probably love to see those documents. That first one was for a woman born in 1886 - long gone now.
The 1934 patient was born in 1879.
It would be really cool if people in the local medical community would donate time to archiving these records. There’s potentially many missing familial links because of the stigma from TB.
19:00 Looks like an old water sterilizing machine. Something that waste water that could be TB contaminated could run through and be sterilized before going into the main drain.
likely some sort of carbon dioxide sequestration device.
that's why the caustic and sand and large glassed tubed surface area is needed!
"The restraints on the bed are cool" ..."Do you want to get in them?" ..."No 😮" Made me giggle 😂
I laughed at that part too!!!😂
I would with my partner
Restraints??? The first thing that comes to my mind is a psychiatric hospital.
@@markarca6360 it’s a sanitarium
I have discovered your channel 2 days ago and I can't stop watching this kind of videos, they are so interesting. This channel is not like other channels: you give out historical facts, you don't overract when something happens, great camera quality, and no screaming. Keep up the great work!
andrea buzzini yeah it’s quite relaxing
this is honestly my favorite exploration channel because they dont try to joke around the whole video they stay serious only popping a joke in rarely
Your camera and lighting just keeps getting better and better. I love that you move the cameras slowly and the editing is so smooth. I can really enjoy what record for us. I binged watched all of your videos while recoding from joint replacement. Keep them coming!!
I know you are likely trespassing and risking harm by entering those unsafe environments. But I thank you for that glimpse into our past. Never lose your curiosity.
10:45 Radioscopy equip.
13:20 In the middle, ancient UVC lamp. Ultraviolet C, bacteria killer by light. In the bottom part it's a big transformer used to light up the U shape lamp. It is like an huge foto-flash lamp
24:30 in the corner, it might be an ancient spirometer, used to observe the flow-volume charts of the respiration.
No way! I live pretty close to that hospital and I’ve always been too nervous to go in. Thanks for giving us such an in depth experience!
Gwen R where anoute is it?
Where is this located ? 🤔
I really love the fact that there is so little scrapper an vandal damage to the buidings. With a little bit of imagination you can mostly figure out what was happening in a room & how it was done. This is just great, thank you
What is so interesting to me is that when looking at the rooms, things seem to be thrown around it. I'm sure no one left in a crazy hurry so why are desks, cabinets, etc on top of each other. It always amazes me in these places is how it looks like someone got caught doing something wrong so they threw things around and left. It is just bizarre! Thanks for keeping it real though and not trying to make this a ghost hunt when there is none to be had. Just cool to see all of this. Of course, I would still be back reading the files for hours. LOL
In the 80's my brother and I use to explore abandoned buildings. Before it had a name, Urban Exploration. I'm glad to see you guys do the same thing we did then. Leave everything intact and in place.
dBREZ they always do, don’t fret!
@@kennedytaylor7 Yes they do stay calm, invisible, safe.
My aunt had tuberculosis back then, when she was a teen-ager. I appreciate that you do research beforehand, so that you describe things well.
This place is AMAZING. I love all those old machines and files. The American shield tiles at 5:50 is gorgeous , if y’all made a print of that, I’d take two. It hard to believe details like this were once commonplace. I enjoy adding such details into my homes and know they take time and money, but make it all that more enjoyable to be there. Thanks for your efforts!
GreenAppelPie i was so happy to see that part. I live fairly close to that hospital, but I’ve never gone. And that specific part with all the tiling is the Womens’ Ward, pretty heavily guarded. I’ve never seen the inside and it’s so beautiful!
I love how that every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. You guys are literally the best in my opinion. Another great video. They just keep getting better and better.
Thank you for not making it creepy and just exploring the place. I love to watch these videos just to see how people lived their lives back then. Major props to you guys 👏🏻
@The Proper People You guys have great production values. Your videos aren't just videos, they're more like mini documentaries. I appreciate the research that you do for each place that you shoot. I am a subscriber and I look forward to your next video. I've watched your previous videos several times because they are so good. I think your videos are one of the best on TH-cam. Keep up the great work!
I totally agree about the museum for all the medical artifacts you filmed. I can't imagine what the loneliness must have been like for a child, a mother or a father or whoever to have to go to one of these places to "get well" and be separated from my family for months or sometimes years. I'm certainly enjoying your videos and would travel around exploring abandoned places if I could.
You guys are very respectful of the property you explore..I like that
Thanks for such a fascinating video, I love looking at all the old medical devices, I have spent many years working as a biomedical technician repairing and maintaining all sorts of equipment, I sure would love to explore that place. I love all that old gear and would be able to describe what they are and how they would have been originally used. Sad to see it all rotting away, hopefully someone can save and preserve some of it.
Such an awesome channel. Its a look into the past. Its actually good that these places havnt been demolished because it's basically a 50 year old museum just sitting there.
Thanks for giving us the ability to see these amazing places. If guys like you didn't go out and document this stuff we would all be missing out on seeing incredible places such as this one. We likely would never know they even exist.
This place is so cool. To see such natural decay, untouched for decades is always such a treat.
I can only find pictures that medical equipment in my aunt's nursing textbooks (she took up a bachelor's degree in Nursing back in the 70s, and some of her textbooks are dated 60s to 70s.), especially the oxygen tent. There were two types: the one that uses ice and the one that uses electrical refrigeration to cool the air-oxygen mixture circulating inside the tent. The apparatus that are shown in 24:33 is probably a bronchospirometer, used to measure the pulmonary volume of both two lungs (the amount of air that enters the lungs - usually measured in ml), or a volume-cycled ventilator.
Wow this was my favourite video in a long time! I would love to see a museum exhibit made out of these items, would be very cool to develop the building into maybe mixed residential and commercial space with a museum. I really do hope it gets saved.
This might be my fav video of yours, this place is just stunning. Relics and equipment of really long gone eras and architecture that would never be used in American institutions again. You two capture these places so well. Excellent!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Indeed
I was in military school on this compound during 9-11. There are a few active buildings there. Our barracks were in the old nurse's quarters. The main hospital is a geriatric psych hospital. We used to volunteer to help transport patients to church on Sunday. When we would go on runs we would run by all these buildings. I've always told people about how awesome this place was and definitely wanted to explore them. Thanks for taking the time to explore this archaic world.
That standing xray machine looked like a flouriscope. Think of it as a "live" xray, since you could look into a person as they stood there, rather than producing a film transparency.
i love that you did some research afterwards and added the bit about the examination table as well as all the general information about sanatoriums. it makes these videos so much more valuable.
The most amazing thing in this is the fact they found film for the Polaroid camera.
Tina Gee they brought that, and Polaroid makes retrofitting film once again.
I know I’m one person In the hundreds of thousands of people who subscribe to you guys but you guys are awesome. Thank you for awesome content and being nice people about your explorations.
"Those restraints on the bed are cool."
"Yeah...wanna get in them?"
"No."
What an incredible site to explore, so much there to see.
In every one of your videos, I watch carefully for the records of patients especially from long, long ago. I love seeing the outdated wording, dating, conditions patients suffered from, treatments, comments, all of it!!
Please show more records (that are appropriate to show) in future, it really is fascinating!

whats HiPAA
@@tgirlpride2024 the Health Insurance Portability and Privacy Act that stipulates how your personal medical information can be shared and stored
@@katherinefite9659 Oh ok so are they breaking that rule?
@@tgirlpride2024 Michael and Bryan arent but if the patient records were from 1996 onwards and weren't destroyed properly then the hospital would be in violation of HIPAA. That's why I said "modern day" violations.
But surprisingly no Christmas decorations.
Wow those old medical records are fascinating. It’s amazing how much of the medical culture and the state of the art is reflected in those documents. Wonderful footage as always!
The long tubes with the solid materials looking like yellow sand coming off could have been used as desiccants. Caustic soda (NaOH) pallets or or other salts would serve this purpose. Possible they dried air or other gases for some usage.
Looks to be using schedule 80 plumbing, double union ball valves, and regular braided flexible pvc tubing as the drain. The liquid was most likely pumped into the bottom of the tubes for maximum exposure to the red brown medium. With the ball valves the operator could adjust the flow rate to achieve ideal suspension / turbulence of the medium. The fluid drains out near the top of the cylinders and gets recirculated.
It was used for embalming corpses.
someone else noted that it is definitely an ion exchanger. The columns are filled with a resin (the orange stuff) and it is usually used to make de-ionized water. The caustic chemical is needed to regenerate the resin. Too bad it is broken, looks like some residual water froze and cracked the glass. Modern exchangers often use mixed bed resin instead of two separate columns.
Such beautiful tile work, and detail in old structures. I love the details like you said.
There goes that custom atmospheric mood music to go along just right with the place they're exploring, awesome guys...🔦🚪
Holy crap, you guys outdid yourselves with this place. Wish I could help I.D. some of the electronics.
It’s a shame some of this stuff left to rot like the beds and desks I’ve restored everything from cars to houses to furniture and you would be surprised how little SOME stuff takes to repair/replace and make awsome again and of corse you don’t see this level of detail and real craftsmanship ever anymore I just restored a bankers desk and I reluctantly sold it for $2800 at auction
I got a big practical exam in network engineering tomorrow and the time is 22.00. Needed something to calm me down and proper peoples stuff is really relaxing in some way. Thanks!
Such a shame they won’t take the equipment out to be saved. Thank you for all the research and hard work you guys do. Can’t wait for the next video!
The Proper People are my favorite urban explorers because they obviously have expertise in actual filmmaking. Other explorers use long, uncut tracking shots that give me motion sickness. You guys know what you're doing. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for what you do.
Remarkably, and refreshingly, free from heavy vandalism. Great find.
Your guys' cinematic shots are great. The one at @3:49 is stunning, and I'm only just starting.
The "calculator" is a comptometer, my grandma used to be an operator.
Love how you guys got better and more serious as the years passed
24:49 You can hear a woman in the background talking
Jordy Driscoll I thought I was the only one that heard that lol
Holy crap, i cant believe i missed that. Sounds close too
Spencer Johnson right? Like at first I was like oh it must be from the active building but it sounded like it was in the same room as them
Bruh
Would be curious to know if they herd it and ignored it, or didn't hear it and the voice was only picked up on the mic.
The editing is on point as always. That was a good and interesting exploration.
I think the restraints on the rolling cots weren't restraints. They were straps to keep you from falling off. They remind me of the straps on a ambulance gurney.
Agreed. TB patients were weakened; after long per bedridden, you’d lose muscle. Most probably the belts were to keep infirm or elderly people from falling over or out of the chair.
Buttons: *exist*
The Proper People: *try to push them*
That "calculator" is an adding machine. My dad inherited one from his grandfather who passed in the early 90s. My great grandpa used it at work in the late 50s to early 70s. It's wild and very clicky when in use
Arkham Aggron
I’m picking up some very potent sarcasm
amazing guys love abandon/ sanitarums/ hospitals!!
great exploration!! loved the seashells!!
The Jobst compression unit at 26:04 reminded me of some surgical stocking company (that still exists) and I looked it up. This unit was probably used to reduce the pressure in legs or arms caused by lymphedema after surgeries.
Jobst is still very much in business manufacturing quality compression garments! 😊
These Asylums/Hospitals always remind me of Outlast..
They’re probably the most creepy lost places to visit due to the actual suffering and sadness that took place there.
Finally! We get to see a rare floor number indicator and it turns out it's for a lousy Shaftway.
I hate shaftways!
Seriously though great place once again guys!
18:20 These big glass columns is a water treatment device. There are Ion Exchange Resin inside. Absolutely harmless.
Thank God people like you guys exist. Otherwise all these beautiful old places would rot away and we would never know how magnificent they once were.
Minor detail: the faceted light parts @3:43 are "Fresnel," pronounced "Fray-NELL" or Fren-NELL." You guys always do a good job and obviously appreciate craftsmanship of the past. (BTW, I had to grin when I saw the shot of all the dust motes swirling in the shaft of light in your intro. There are so many people out there who immediately start freaking out about "ORBS!" every time a dust mote shows up, looking larger than life in the bright lights of the camera. If that were true, I used to see hundreds of spooks floating in shafts of sunlight coming in my bedroom windows when I was a Yard Ape!)
It's been great to watch your filming skills get better and better throughout the years. Keep up the great work guys!
Don't mess with the fallen ceiling, that's pure asbestos dudes. A building that old is bound to be totally laden with that stuff.
😬😬😬
Lex5576, you're right. And these guys carry gas masks, but in my opinion they don't wear them enough. They could end up with black lung.
Not necessarily, depends entirely on when it was built. To me it looks just like stucco/mesh type.
This another awesome video...need to wear those masks more when you're in places like these..
SittingMoose Shaman that’s completely false you clearly know nothing about asbestos
This was an interesting location to see. Very little vandalizing and senseless destruction. Great job in covering it. Thanks!
breakinn403 I’m so happy that there is little vandalization. This location is partially in use from the other buildings, so that keeps people out
@@goldfishgwen Thanks for the update. That explains a lot.
I could sit and real files for hours in that place 😍 I can’t even imagine how amazing that would be.
This would honestly do really well on tv. Love the way you record and respect each property. All the information given makes it even more interesting to watch. Thank you for making these videos.
Another awesome video. Makes me want to go read all those medical files.
Gotta be the cleanest buildings you guys have ever explored, and I've watched all your videos. There didn't appear to be any vandalism or looting. Amazing!
Stu Boyd It’s really great that there isn’t much vandalism. Probably because half of the property is still in use today.
@@goldfishgwen whats the name of it and where is it?
Always good to get a proper notification! :)
It's crazy to think that people spent probably years building this place just for it to be abandoned soon after
The sad part about these sanatoriums is that the patients often lived there their hole life. They could never go back to where they came from. More or less a prison.
So sad.
great video guys! at 16:00 that medical setup was becca and fran that done that, and you can see on their video on abandonec central how things where better 2 years ago
You should check out Pennhurst in Pennsylvania. I believe it's in Phoenixville.
Just subbed! I binge watched these videos!💖 Thank You for the videos. No drama, real, music isn't all over the place, music isn't louder than video, and information.
This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video. Amazing video :)
Wow glad to see these buildings are still standing. Visited these in 06, could have sworn they were demolished by now.
John Vanek where at?
So ready!!! So excited to see the amazing content yall bring to the urbex community and to others!! Really appreciate guys!! Keep it up!
Thanks, guys! Great video as always! Amazing architecture you don't see these days. Love you Michael and Bryan!
I'm hoping there is a Bumps in the Night in the works for Halloween. Good stuff as always.
it would be really cool to see a place like this converted into apartments, the architecture is beautiful
10:50 That is a flouroscope. Live action x-ray. The patient would stand behind the screen.
Keep up the good work, guys! You're the only urbex channel I have consistently followed because you obviously care so much about what you do and the places you visit.
Sewing machines,maybe used in occupational therapy.TB became drug resistant. There is now a very aggressive strain,of TB which is very difficult to treat.
Great explore guys!! I love the copper awnings, the wall paintings, and the seashells in the upper floors. All of the vintage furniture and equipment was amazing to see. So glad you didn’t get caught! If anyone did see you they may have thought you were ghosts! 😂 Thanks guys for this most enjoyable video!! Stay Safe!! 😉
22:16
Fortunately the bottle is empty. This is the formula of the aqua regia !
Just want you guys to know, your videos have always been a great escape to me. They have given me countless hours of enjoyment since I started watching a few years ago. Keep it up bros! Your videos are life! 😁
