This is sad. I knew a few women who had to spend time in Eloise when it was a psych hospital, back in the 70s. These women were treated horrifically by the "doctors and nurses" at Eloise. Having grown up a mile or so from there, it's always been a place of sadness, hopelessness and desolation. It's sad to see past residents being exploited. JMO.
If I’m not mistaken this was one of the largest and the last to close. I have another video I went into the one in northville and you can just feel how horrible it would’ve been being a patient there.
You know what would truly honor the memory of all those who suffered at Eloise? Bulldoze the whole place and build a Walmart! Rather than keeping the memory alive let's just flatten it and erect a temple to capitalism.
@@Thismessisaplacepod you're arguing a point that no one made. That is called a strawman argument just so you know. I would also find that distasteful. Something like a memorial park would be a better option in my opinion. I'm sure there are plenty of other good suggestions to be made as well, what I do know is that capitalizing on the deaths of thousands of neglected and abused poor and mentally ill people isn't it. It's not "keeping the memory alive" when all of that history is being used as nothing more than a marketing tactic and way to give people the heebie jeebies.
@@octaneexploration6750 I knew Northville, too. My own mother spent some time there. I don't believe it was as horrific as Eloise. This would have been in the early 90s. So I believe Eloise closed before Northville. Both places have such sad histories. I personally feel that turning Eloise into a haunted house was an extremely disrespectful decision.
My mom remembers visiting her uncle here when it was opened and she told me that it had huge gates around the outside and beautiful gardens. The place was so huge at one time that it had its own zip code. They had a farm with a massive amount of cattle and a butcher shop a blacksmith shop a laundromat , a print shop and many other buildings. It was its own functioning city. My great uncle had a “ nervous breakdown “ is what my mother was told but he had quite the drinking problem I guess. He got better though and came home. They did treat people good for a while in these places and then the government cut funding and people were horribly abused, neglected and other patients were making others have relationships with them or just beating them. The government should never be in charge of anything because they always find a way to take money from places where it’s really needed. The majority of these places were closed in the 1980’s when they thought they could just medicate these people and most have been living on the streets ever since. Thanks for the video.
I bought a ticket since my little friend group was really excited to go, so we're set to go tomorrow night, but honestly I feel kinda bad about it and am a bit regretful. So many people lived and died here with little left to remember them besides a number. I know if I or my loved one had been in such a place (and I have, to an extent) I would find this whole thing distasteful at the least. We'll see. I just skipped around in this video and it does look scary, but I am going to have to push my ethics aside when I go and I kinda wish I had followed my gut and not supported this.
@@octaneexploration6750 I ended up not going, I felt extremely conflicted about it because I wanted to go out with my friends but honestly the moment I drove into the parking lot and saw those buildings I just felt sick and sad. My friends said they loved it tho and it was well done. Had tix for 8, got there at 750 and waited til 945ish. That was another reason I didn't go, I just hate waiting in line like that esp with how it was outside and I just knew I wouldn't be able to enjoy it having the perspective that I have. To each their own, just wasn't it for me
So this entire thing was just a mockery of what those people went through. I don't even know what to say, this is honestly just distasteful and horrible.
If you please let me known if you saw a diploma on a desk at Eloise?? In past years at Eloise haunted house there was a diploma displayed on a desk for a doctor who completed his residency in psychiatrist there in 1964. The name on it is Dr. Charles MacLean. He is the father of a friend of mine. Eloise was using the diploma without the dr.s families permission. Family also wondered how the staff at Eloise got a copy of the diploma? Did they go through the files of people who use to work there? Thanks. And great video.
This is the very first year that Eloise has housed a haunted attraction, so I have no clue what you're talking about. Maybe the paranormal or history tours. But the haunted attraction inside Eloise has never existed for this year.
They have done haunted tours in October for the previous 2 years. Someone who went on the tour took a photo of it and posted online. Friends was and sent us the picture.

I completely agree. Since I first heard about this project I had mixed feelings and the more I think about it the more wrong it feels.

Let me know how it was after you go

Yeah, it was stated that they were treated horribly by the actual nurses and everyone who worked there, and suffered around the 70s i believe
The " I have a boyfriend " cracked me up.
Funny thing is it was really cold that night and her boyfriend was wearing her sweat shirt and she had a belly shirt on
@@octaneexploration6750 it looks like Eloise asylum was targeted to younger audiences to scare them as this didn’t seem scary
Now im jealous for real.always wanted to do this
So this entire thing was just a mockery of what those people went through. I don't even know what to say, this is honestly just distasteful and horrible.
I felt like they were scared to scare me.
Im suprised dayroom (very first room with the tv) didnt stop you at the very begining
They had people watching right outside the door
Cool! I really want to go there now!
Went last night it was not worth the 40$
