I live down the road from this site. Thanks for sharing information. What a shame about the number of unmarked graves here. An area with a dark past. R.I.P. to all those patients who lived a tormented life.
Thank-you for commenting. It is strange old place with the old annexe building and morgue just standing isolated on waste ground. Very sad that there are over one thousand unmarked graves here of former patients on the old burial ground.
I worked there as a mental health nurse around 25 years ago and lived in the nurses home next door. I witnessed some ghostly things 👻 lol.. i shall watch this later when i have time 😁
I’ve had heard of many ex employees who also experienced spooky things here - if you’d feel comfortable sharing your story I’d be most interested - it’s a fascinating building - thanks for commenting 🙂
@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk It was full of elderly people when I worked there. functional and organic mental illness. I worked on ward 2 i think it was called and it was definately spooky, patients used to say they had seen people in their rooms which many staff members put down to mental illness but I mostly believed them... Myself and a colleague used to wander around with pendulums on the night shift and ask spirits to speak to us, the pendulum used to swing wildly, one night as we asked this question all the lights went off one after the other down the corridor towards us and this rush of air and like whispering sounds went through us.. 😳 we actually screamed and ran back to the office lol.. another time as we asked the question all the big heavy doors down the corridor swung shut and they were held open by electricity like proper fire doors.. One night i was resting on a spare bed on my break and woke up to see a women in an old fashioned nurses outfit coming through the door... Im sure there are many other things that happened.. I had similar experiences at hellesdon hospital too.. Great video thanks for the memories 😀
Wow thanks so much for sharing these experiences in such detail - must have been a spooky place to work if you ever had to venture anywhere alone especially down the dark quieter sections on the night shift - absolutely fascinating to hear from someone who actually worked there and experienced unexplainable things like this!
@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk It was definately an uncomfortable place to wander about on your own.. A senior nurse tried to send me to the mortuary one day after dark and i refused 😂 there's a naughty story to that.. Have you ever explored Lenwade hall? i sat in a psychic circle there for a year or so many years ago and had many experiences there.. its a very Haunted building.
Haha if you’d feel comfortable sharing the story feel free 🙂. I’ve heard of Lenwade House in North Norfolk or do you mean Lanwades Hall in Suffolk? A very grand and historic place - thanks for the recommendation
I've seen em and stu' S video of my old workplace and it's very much a shame it's in this state. My ward was in the right hand wing of the building,now demolished. Just through the dip in the ground towards Green Lane there was a cemetery for Polish soldiers aswell.Thanks for showing and best wishes and to any other staff members.Thanks. Pete
Cheers for sharing Pete such a shame they decided to demolish the side buildings adjoining to the old annexe structure in the centre. Always interesting to hear from anyone with past connections to the site 🙂
@@HauntedandAbandonedNorfolk I am surprised to get a reply,so thank you.👍. I noticed that the back extensions had been demolished too. There was an occupational therapy room and a snooker room in those areas. Overall,I think it a shame the whole system got changed. Psychiatric care in the community has been a total failure as many people are left without proper care or support whilst a few developers have made millions out of old property. Talk of ghosts, I would not like to live on the South side, there were some underground parts of that,that were not comfortable at all.
Yes such a shame about the many of the buildings being demolished - some of the older original buildings have since been turned into housing. I can imagine the underground areas are very spooky given the history of the site. The old morgue does survive though along with the central annexe. Thanks again for your interest 🙂
I explored this hospital in about 1999 maybe 2000 - it was winter and it definitely has a creepy vibe there. One of the strange things was that I found the remains of a bonfire outside where people had been burning VHS tapes (close to the large tree on the right of the entrance). One of the surviving tapes was One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and the other was Evil Dead - very appropo. I poften wondered what had happened to the building, so I really appreciate the video. I seem to rememmber that the back of the hospital faced out to some pretty bleak Norfolk countryside, but heck, that could be anywhere in Norfolk!
Cheers for sharing this - always interesting to hear from those which have explored this building. Most seem to have a story to tell! It’s a very spooky looking building now with just the central section of the annexe remaining - it stands there stranded on wasteland part demolished with the abandoned morgue in the distance behind it! The drone I use is called the mavic mini - thanks for commenting and for your interest in the post 🙂
Thanks for tuning in guys - it is a foreboding building just stranded on wasteland with the old morgue still standing behind it - eerie location for sure - appreciate the comments 🙂
One of the closest asylums to me, would have loved to have seen it before they knocked the majority of it down. Funny I never put two and two together that other building was the morgue. Really cool video, thanks for sharing 👏🏻☺️
Thank-you for taking the time to comment. It is a shame the vast majority of the annexe complex which was added later to the original asylum has been largely destroyed. The central section of the large annexe building has strangely been left completely alone with the surrounding and adjoining buildings knocked down. There it now stands isolated on wasteland watching over the old morgue in the distance behind. Definitely an eerie place - thanks again and appreciate the feedback.
This is so beautifully shot, so interesting and fascinating to read and learn about St Andrews. It certainly looks very abandoned, eerie and haunted, i would still love to explore inside though. It's very beautiful to look at the water tower is spectacular but i can imagine there is some creepy ghosts haunting inside. Wow, lobotomys are so crazy to think of. and that footage inside the asylum with the rock is pretty mad! wow! Another thought provoking and interesting video, thank you HAAN!
Thank-you for taking the time to comment much appreciated. This remaining annexe building certainly has an eerie vibe to it. It just stands isolated partly demolished on waste-ground looming over the abandoned morgue behind. This section was used as the male ward before being requisitioned as the War Hospital during World War 1 and later also helping those badly injured in World War 2. Thanks again for your interest 🙂
Hi Christina - i can’t share every location I visit but I’m happy to share this one - it’s in Norwich - the Thorpe St Andrew area off the new industrial estate - pleased you enjoyed the video 🙂
Awful news - just read a news report about this - why would anyone do this to such an historic building? I fear whatever remains of the structure will be demolished now as no doubt it will be deemed to be unsafe - what a terrible shame :(
Hi Ian - very sad as you say the shallow indents in the ground - covered by a sprinkling of autumnal leaves - being the only marker of the souls buried here - very eerie place in general and a large site to explore despite a lot of the buildings sadly being demolished now - thanks for commenting
Few years ago I was in that room with my friend at 3.48 on the video time and my phone flash caught a womans haunting face staring at me with long black hair , I was so scared at the sight I ran out leaving my mate behind 😂 then 3 months ago put my SLS camera in one of the front windows and caught a stick man walking up to me so this place is definitely haunted !
Oh wow - thanks for sharing this - I bet that experience will stay with you for a long time - I’ve heard from so many people during my research who’ve experienced similar things here - a very active place for the paranormal it seems - thanks Lisa appreciate the comments 🙂
Yes the asylum been closed a fair while now - the surviving annexe building (pictured) was requisitioned for use during the First World War and later used as the male ward. It continued to be sporadically used as an office space until 2013 despite the fact the asylum closed in 1998. Only the central part of the annexe building remains along with the morgue behind it. The original asylum buildings have been sympathetically turned into housing. Thanks for your interest 🙂
A fascinating, atmospheric video. I appreciate the depth of your research and the fantastic footage and photographs you have been able to source. I often used to drive past the hospital, and it always seemed such a daunting, sad place to me. I cannot imagine what it was like to be an inmate there in days gone by. I'm wondering whether any residents who now live there since the refurbishment have experienced any paranormal activity?
Thanks so much for the complimentary comments 🙂. Many staff who worked in the building have been in touch with me sharing their paranormal experiences although I haven’t heard from anyone now living in the original plot which has since been changed into luxury housing. The abandoned annexe building pictured is a very eerie place. The central section has just been left derelict on wasteland and the morgue behind this building is very spooky too. An atmospheric place with a somewhat unwelcoming oppressive vibe - sad to think many patients possibly suffered quite badly here.
What a long history this place has. With that many people buried there I wonder if the current housing residents experience ghostly visitors from the Asylum days. Shame all the headstones were removed. This would make an awesome place to run as a permanent haunted location. Thanks for this video, cheers
Hi there and thanks for commenting. I’ve heard from plenty of previous employees who have experienced strange goings on here. It is a foreboding building just left isolated on wasteland half demolished with just the central section remaining - oppressive atmosphere around the grounds aswell - perfect share for Halloween I thought

I've been here with my drone a few times. A great location and you can feel the history
Cheers Pat - definitely a great place for the drone - lots of wide open spaces - creepy old location - thanks for commenting 🙂
Amazing video, I can't believe such a pretty building is just being left behind the rest of the world.
Thanks for tuning in guys - it is a foreboding building just stranded on wasteland with the old morgue still standing behind it - eerie location for sure - appreciate the comments 🙂
Great video :)
Cheers for tuning in Sean appreciated as always 🙂
This deserved to be a longer episode.
Hi Colin - agreed - hopefully I’ll return to visit one day 🙂

Thanks so much - appreciate the comments 🙂
very sad and creepy 😢 great video
Thanks for taking the time to comment - it is an eerie old place - sad stories behind the location too - appreciate you tuning in 🙂
May i know where abouts location is? Never knew there was abandoned asylum in norfolk. Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Christina - i can’t share every location I visit but I’m happy to share this one - it’s in Norwich - the Thorpe St Andrew area off the new industrial estate - pleased you enjoyed the video 🙂
And today it burnt down :(
Awful news - just read a news report about this - why would anyone do this to such an historic building? I fear whatever remains of the structure will be demolished now as no doubt it will be deemed to be unsafe - what a terrible shame :(
Haunting, especially the way the leaves lie in the hollows 👻

Thanks again Lisa 🙂
Oh wow, I didn’t even know it had been closed down, it was still being used when I left norfolk

Forgot to mention it was used by the nhs as offices around 2005-2010
Hi Chelsea - I do mention this in the video - thanks for watching appreciate it 🙂
Can people still visit? I'd love to have a look around.
What a long history this place has. With that many people buried there I wonder if the current housing residents experience ghostly visitors from the Asylum days.

@pocket watch I have some awesome captures here :)
Judging by all the men you see walking around in dresses in Norwich City Centre on a daily basis, they should reopen the place…
