Almost Busted Exploring a Huge Abandoned Hospital

- In this episode we explore the now-demolished Old Reid Hospital in Richmond, Indiana. The hospital was massive and heavily decayed. We explored most of the building while cop cars circled outside like sharks, and when we realized they were coming inside the building for us, we had to make an escape.

With all that glass in front of the hospital, I bet at one point this hospital was really beautiful. Now it looks like a scene out of The Walking Dead.
TheEyeKing wait what?🤔
It's from those double doors in the Walking Dead: one has "don't open" and the other "dead inside" but if you read left to right you get "don't dead open inside"
It was really beautiful back when it was functional. I spent a lot of time here around 2006 when my mom was being treated for cancer.
That really sucks man, sorry to hear this.
My Mom was born here, and my relatives from Richmond. I'm from Connersville myself.
This is where my mom had all of her chemo treatments back in 2006. It's so weird to see it like this. I recognized so many of the rooms and hallways. I spent a lot of time in this hospital.
Hope your mom is okay now
Hope your mother is well now, I bet it's super surreal to see a fully functioning building turn into this wrecked mess in a short span of a few years.
Roman Brandt crazy what 10 years does to a building
Was this nice back in the day
My Mom was born here, and so are some of my relatives in the Richmond area.
You have one of the best intros on youtube. Your work is very captivating. Kudos
that song fits it so good
Not to mention it's there own song. Good stuff
It has a nice amount of bass I love it.
where is this place
If I hear that music it reminds me of 'the glitch mob' (album: drink the sea). Maybe you guys check that out, probably you like that music.
@1:25 "So this is what can happen to a place in just a few short years with out any security." *Almost gets busted by security later*
The cops were there to make sure no one steals the mold.
Mold cops!
MOPS. lol
Bad spores, bad spores! What ya fungus do? What ya fungus do, when they come for you?!
I bet they all look like Mr clean yes? no?
I'd say so.
Looks like the aftermath of a nuclear disaster
Looks like a walking dead location too
Nuclear Dicksaster*
I always think zombie apocalypse, Resident Evil to be exact, when I see these locations.
I can get one if you want. No bro im the only walking nuclear disaster. Just waiting for the spark.
Exactly why I want to do the S.T.A.L.K.E.R challenge on the upper floors of this building, set up a camp, bring MREs, you’ll be set.
Somebody needs to make a chair just chillin compilation.
Garbagebandit DayZ sounds like a job for me
I lived in Richmond. I was born in that hospital in 1998!
The hospital has been torn down, it was entirely demolished this year (2018).
I never got the chance to explore it. I'm typing this before I watch this video, because I want to be "surprised" by what it looked like inside before its ultimate demise.
Whether you guys see this comment or not, I'd still like to thank you for coming to this location, and uploading it since I have such a personal attachment to this facility.
This is why I like this channel, unlike a lot of the others it hasn't turned to the clickbait route, otherwise the title would've been something like NEARLY ARRESTED IN HAUNTED HOSPITAL 👻👻 (GONE WRONG) (GONE SEXUAL) and then the only thing that would happen is a security gurard saying "please leave". But nope, this was realistic and scary
My thoughts too I've unsubscribed from a few channels lately because they started getting too clickbaity
I will unsubscribe to any channel that begins that click-bait shit.
But you never know, it could have been one of them in the vest, and we never saw a cop car 😬
They don't even ask for thumbs up.
They did the exact thing you are saying you don't like but used the word Busted instead of Arrested???
Nobody does exploration like The Proper People
Lucas Andresen Well the Unknown cameraman does pretty well, but he hasn't posted anything for almost a year now.
Because they're good and proper.
Whatever happened to the Unknown Cameraman, does anyone know?
Yeah! Not only do they give you the history of the location, they sometimes find photos and videos to go with. That level of care is second to none.
Sam and Colby, TFIL
Can totally see this happening when The Proper People get busted:
Cops: We're big fans.
Proper People: Phew
Cops: Yeah, we still have to take you in, hands behind back.
"Can we get an autograph first though?"
Dylan "Only if you let us go"
Dan Bell got escorted out of a mall once by cops who, while not fans, seemed appreciative of what he was doing.
Sam and Colby actually got arrested
this was my first ever abandoned spot, i actually have the coordinates tattooed on me haha but they came because you parked to close, also fun fact; the richmond police don’t go inside, they are not allowed to because it’s to dangerous, the basement and morgue are underwater and i once took a raft down there lol.
Chris Condon Once a week or so they have a picture on the front of the local newspaper showing the demolition progress and every time I've seen "CCondon" somewhere in the photo. Your name is all over that place and has made the front page of the paper many times lol
9:43
Y4123 ,,,
K N fuckin legend in the streets
It’s a shame that the locals completely trashed the place. :/ at one point I think they considered making it a dormitory for IUE and Ivytech
Funny the first time we did Carraway Hospital an officer threatened us with arrest. The second time they told us “to be careful in there.” You never know what they’re going to do or say.
LOL, when I was about 15 I got caught exploring the roof of a local school and oddly, the maintenance people who caught us didn't have a problem with us looking around. They did firmly warn us not to go to the third level because it ends at the roof and there are no safety rails outside the door.
thats crazy that they ended up coming inside. all the times i’ve been there when cops show up they’ve always told me they refuse to go inside the building
They wouldn't go inside it was well known and even published in the newspaper that the police would not set foot inside due to the toxic risks.
Some cops are just young boys too. They be mad exploring too.
that was my thought too. If I was a cop fuck yeah I'd be goofing off at abandoned industrial sites at the slightest excuse.
I discovered this channel last weekend and have been binging a lot of the videos. I've slowed down so I don't exhaust them all too quickly. Anyway, this is the first video that was NEW to everyone and getting to see it for the first time along with the others gave me chills with the beginning music (I've seen that stated before but now I understand). You two have a childlike inquisitive view to things as well as the maturity to not treat the places you explore like all the others have with destruction and graffiti. Each place you visit is unique and you treat them as such. And here comes the old guy and former dad in me coming out: please watch your step because I don't want to hear that one of you fell thru a floor and hurt yourself. Keep up the outstanding work.
"I'm going to put on my respirator." Shit, never thought i'd hear you say that ;)
What looked like a person in the door also looked like he was doing something obscene.....just saying 😨🙁
I explored here too, me and my friends went in the middle of the night, and the cops came while we were on the roof. They had their sirens blaring and used the loud speakers to call out for us. They even used their spotlights. It was crazy. Definitely one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I’m so lucky I got to go before it was destroyed.
Emerson Däviß Looks like alot of us have been here. Lol. I filmed here 6 months ago
Sounds like you guys had alot more of a interesting experience though. I heard no one the 2 days I went
Emerson Däviß did anyone get caught or all made it out unnoticed?
Benjamin Hand I eventually announced our presence and they just told us about the deadly mold and then let us go
They weren't kidding
Wow can't believe you were in my home town. I was born in that hospital in 1992. Crazy how it is now. Just drove by it tonight and they're still continuing to tear it down.
I was born their in 1996
I was never born.
Born there 2007
Born there in 91. Lived there pretty much my whole life up until about a year ago when I moved to Bloomington. It's still home to me. Not the best place to raise my kids tho.
When did the police start coming inside? When we were there the police would not come inside and never patrolled the area at all. We even had to dodge some people trying to track us but no cops the whole 13 hours we were there. Really glad you guys got to Explore here too, sad testament to the power of vandalism.
It could have been construction crews scouting out the building looking for specific materiel and/or mapping out the building. After all this vid was filmed right before demolition began.
Exploring With CF Same here we were there 2 different times no cops just people breaking stuff. We made sure to park way away. Police usually notice the cars parked near by and start circling like sharks .
Exploring With CF We didn’t get to see that theater someone dropped a tv off the roof soon as we was in that area so we decided to bow out
Ahsulak Ahh that sucks. I filmed here too with the theater and never saw one person the entire time I was here on 2 different days.
Scrappers did that don't blame vandals we just wanna paint on stuff
That room with all the HVAC equipment in it, it really does look like it was a lobby at one point. Its very strange that they would build such a decorative staircase, railings, and have decorative light fixtures in a room that nobody would ever see.
It reminds me of the main room of the building from Jurassic Park.
Glad y'all got a chance to film it before it was demolished.
Btw, that machinery room was so freakin cool. The spiral staircase and the pipes made it look like a mad scientist's laboratory.
That was one of THE BEST chairs just chillin 🖤
Beatrice Franky yt broke, it said this comment is a week old lol
sporks He/she is a patreon supporter. Gets to see it early.
Yes, I'm a Patreon supporter. Looove my boys Michael and Bryan 😍
Beatrice Franky ah i get it now
Beatrice Franky the skylight above it kinda did me in
Why do people feel the need to “Hulk smash” on glass! I guess it’s cheaper than paying for therapy
Guess so
I'm sure it heavily depends on the person but for me, smashing shit is just an amazing feeling.
When you said the hospital's last patient was transferred in 2008, I though “So it's only been shut 8 years."
I'm still stuck in 2016...
The final patient was transferred out in early 2009, the place had security for years and was kept up, once the security was pulled the police were overwhelmed in a year or two by calls there and stopped going inside soon after and the place became a wasteland in only a few years.
Looks like it's been empty for 30 years.
11 going 12 years now.
Holly crap I thought that was like 3-4 years ago. Damn I’m old.
@@kurtismckemmie4850 it was torn down starting in 2018, finished 2019.

You guys should make a T-shirt design with the message "Chairs just Chilling"
Dirk Hoekstra yessssss. I’ve been saying that forever. I’d buy that in a heartbeat
Good Lord! The mold has mold!
It's like you could smell it through the screen...
Why do people have to smash everything..... cool video as ever...
Rizla--King they are looking for “like” buttons. 😬
Drugs.
So many shitty people
Probably trying to kill a spider.😂
Dear Proper people. This is a hospital in my hometown that no longer stands (since your video upload) it was incredibly radioactive. When it was built they didnt have proper insulation or x-ray areas among other building design flaw. Undoubtedly this is why new Reid Hospital was built. I worked and volunteered at old Reid for many years. If there is any questions you might want to ask. Contact my email address linked to my TH-cam account. I love the videos keep em coming. Be safe.
Graham Miller is this true!?! That’s horrifying but so interesting!
3.6 rontgens not great but not bad
please use bitchute Comrade! it’s ‘not terrible’, you come to Local Party Headquarters now!
Improperly shielded X-ray machines cause no permanent radiological damage to surrounding materials or objects. I highly doubt a radiological contamination would've been present at the hospital else it would've been declared a superfund site or something.
*car salesmen slaps roof of hostpital
Car salesmen: “This beauty is fire proof”
"This beauty can fit so much mold in it"
You'd be wrong! There were actually several small fires over the years since it was abandoned. One being in the Johnson Hall section, where a firefighter almost got trapped. It was ruled an arson by a drunk guy who lit an old couch on fire with a cigarette (or blunt... no surprise.)
somone did try to burn down the old section of the hospital but it failed miserably
*roof falls in*
Wow it’s hard for me to watch this video. Many of my family have worked there since the sixties. I was born there in the new Leeds tower in 1970 and also worked there myself as a contractor. My kids were even born there. I was also sometimes a patient. Had many very good and very bad times there. So much history came rushing back as you walked through. It was like I was there with you in all those familiar places. Thanks for the exploration and giving me some closure to what was once a great place.
Well as you walked through I was like that was my moms lab. Those were the operating rooms my grandfather worked in. Oh look the ER where my father and now mother in law worked together before I even existed. Where I met my bridesmaid, where I told people I had known my whole life I was engaged and then pregnant. Woo memories.
I always get so hyped up when I see a new video and click it and hear the theme.
Walter White literally the best theme on all of TH-cam
Now the old hospital is gone and you can't tell it was ever there.
There's always just that one chair chilling by itself somewhere in an exploration.
Proper People Bingo. Chair just chilling and Christmas decorations.
i guess the police missed your car parked right outside
lol
Wellington Smithopolis
Yeah, that's suspicious.
Wellington Smithopolis they say at one point that the cops probably know they’re there because they parked too close
Yet the police didn't wait at the car?? We have had police just sit right by our car knowing we had to come out for it.
I really love that scene 9:27
I have the same image for my thumbnail but it was after some jerk burned the inside.
Your videos are by far the best on youtube guys this one is a fav along with the half built nuclear power plant best wishes from hampshire uk
From that moment we first saw you, I know right then that you will bring so much joy into our lives. Thank you for coming to our life and for giving us the opportunity to become proud grandparents. Enjoy your day with heartfelt birthday wishes from your grandparents!
That's a lot'a damage!
RandomDude OnTheInternet Dats alota dam-mage. Slap it on with some flex tape.
To show you the power of flex tape, I sawed this boat in half :)
So reminds me of the lab in The Last of Us. That mold is freaky.
John Culhane I was waiting for the heard of giraffes to walk thru
I’m convinced that weeds and trees and plants talk to each other. When humans move out they communicate to everything to begin reclaiming their land. You can live in a house for 60 years the paint just looks outdated, but a few years after you leave it all starts pealing and falls off. Why does paint just start flaking off only after you leave, but when you occupy it, stuff just looks old?
Maybe the cops were subscribers
Kinda looks like something out of walking dead
Don't Dead, Open Inside.
A really cool explore but soooo much mould :(. I can't believe they just let those buildings go to waste instead of re-purposing them. Thank you. x
Sue Girling mold**
Sorry Ben in the UK it is spelt mould ******
@@SueGirling68 didn't know that, sorry
@ onorebakasama Finally a proper intelligent answer, thank you :).
That sounds like a good idea but Urbexers like decay and mold.@@SueGirling68
My wife's family are from the area. Reid used to have a significant police presence but it cost the city so much money from all the calls. At one point, they decided to just stop. Lots of squatters, druggies, probably starting fires to stay warm or just arson. The basement has been documented as totally flooded, and at one point there were patient files everywhere. Glad you guys got to go here! Thanks for taking my suggestion!
I’m glad you guys got out ok! That looks like it would have been a nice hospital when it was intact and in operation. It’s amazing how destroyed it became after the fact. Thanks for bringing us along and bringing these spots to life for all of us at home.
"DON'T DEAD OPEN INSIDE"
Love these guys intro man! You guys Rock!
I was born in this hospital.
It caught fire by some teenagers and people officially brought it down so now it's just land everywhere
watched in 4k on 1440p display. you guys have great cameras. i love all your videos
Kim Jong-un Come on your the leader of a country get a better display
You can't watch in 4k if your screen is only 2k 🤦🏾♂️
@@JYMAHJAMES You can watch 4k on a 1080p screen. It will still look better downscaled to 1080.
The kids that DESTROY buildings like that show you the anger in them and the lack of respect for things that aren't theirs
Wow, theres almost as much black mold in that building as there is in my dads downstairs bathroom.
Hi, my name’s Jessica, and I’m an alcoholic. Almost 7 years sober….
On a side note that “letter” is most likely Al-Anon (the family side of AA) materials. When there is an alcoholic in the family, the family can go to Al-Anon meetings. Different structure than AA meetings, but similar concept.
this must’ve been so pretty when it was still functional...
I was born their and I had my eldest daughter their as well.
It was nice.. but when sold through new owners gutted some stuff, turned off power and then the levels underground flooded when sump pumps were shut off.. glad they tore it down..
When you see what happens to abandoned structures it becomes apparent that our society has an undercurrent of rage just below the thin veneer of the day to day civility enforced by rules and by laws.
@Rick Delair lmfao gosh some people are really intimidated by George Soros it's so funny😂😂
Yes, and bored kids as well.
r/im14andthisisdeep
This video makes me feel old, especially since its 5 years old. I used to work EMS in Richmond and took many patients to this hospital when it was open.
That building full of equipment is likely a physical plant. It probably generates backup electricity and stream heating for the hospital campus as well as other enviromental services.
I think so
You are correct
My dad was born in this hospital in 1977, and my sister was born on opening day in the new hospital in 2008.
Please explore a closed toys r us
I like how the cops show up now. Where were they when the actual vandalism was taking place?
Hope you guys are still making your exploring videos. I like the way you didn't have any annoying music in this one. Sometimes that can be so distracting. Hope to see more like it. TY for sharing this video with us. 😉
Abandoned in 2008?! Maybe those apocalypse movies/TV shows aren't exaggerated after all. Places decay so fast when left alone.
i took a raft into the basement of this place haha
Chris Condon Haha I remember seeing your tags all over the property! Good times
1:43 I almost spat my cereal out. I legit thought it was someone jacking it!
You have masks for the mold! Finally! :D
This literally looks like the experimental facility from Stranger Things!!
I came across your channel and I’m thoroughly fascinated! Good thing I’m retired so it doesn’t interfere with my binge watching!!
This is TV worthy, the edit skills, the information, the people them self. If I was a host dude from Discovery channel you've would earn a own slot on the TV
This kind of exploration would never be on TV. They are literally trespassing (which is illegal) and filming themselves doing it. Not that I'm against exploring. I find it really interesting, but just saying.
Don’t open, dead inside
Oh I love that 😂
Last of us vibes here! I don't know why I love to see large abandoned place and decay, but since forever I've always found it beautifull ! 💖
The burned-out theater was creepy! Good stuff!
This channel is the best! I love exploring without leaving my own home! Thank you guys for risking your lives and risking getting caught for our entertainment! :)
Demolition started Oct 1st 2018, you guys might've been the last to explore this site...
That seriously did look like a person
Love your guys' videos. They have great exploring, and none of that toxic clickbait that 90% of other urbex youtubers constantly flood out.
Good shit
I was born here in 1990! Sad to see the old hospital in such a bad state, but it's time was up. The new hospital is just up the road.
It's amazing how fast these places fall apart.
The police:
Criminals, people robbing stores in droves, riots and murders in blue cities: "I sleep"
2 guys checking out an abandoned decrepid building: "real shit"
chilling chair at 9:27 nice!
Was born there in 1961. Reid Memorial Hospital in Richmond, Indiana on Chester blvd.New one was built same blvd closer to Interstate 70
Was born in that hospital. As were my brothers,parents, aunts,uncles and cousins. My father worked here for many years.
Abandoned for just under 10 years and it looks this bad. This place looks like it was abandoned 30 years, not 10. Just shows what a whole bunch of vandals can do. Most of the vandals have two things in common: stupid and very young (under 18).
March 1, 2021 4:12 am
Between scrapers, thoughtless vandalism, effects of nature and environmental impact, destruction was inevitable. Great explore guys. 👍👍
Australian here, fascinated how abandoned buildings in America are like always super spooky and unsettling asf.
I remember the place being trashed but not this much, glad you got to see the place, it was so big. And you're not alone with getting busted with the cops, I waited them out on the roof
DoubleHook G nope with the homie, filmed a school project here the second time we visited. We parked way down the street it was some other asshole that parked in the lot and we waited the cops out on the roof for 2 hours, great adrenaline rush, totally worth it
I wouldn't doubt part of the reason that place is so fucked is because of the fire... It probably caught fire and in putting it out, water just got everywhere and it only got worse from there
I live north of Indianapolis and I remember a segment that WTHR Channel 13 did about Old Reid and how people were vandalizing it and how it wasn't secured. Since that story, police have kept close eyes on the property. Lucky you guys didn't get spotted or caught!
Hello fellow Hoosier I'm in Terre Haute😁
It's all the way tore down now. Wish they could have done something to it!
I was born In that hospital. Sucks they tore it down. If they wouldn't have let the building fall apart they could have used it for something. But the city decided to let it rot and finally destroyed it.
5:34 aesthetically pleasing shot! kind of ambient looking and pretty.
The fire damage was done by a local teen, who dumbly wore the same orange pants that he wore to school that day. Someone snapped a picture of him and a few others walking inside the hospital. They were fucking stupid for doing that.
Moisture is a death sentence to drywall and mdf.
What is security even doing at this point? They obviously couldn't stop numerous people from trashing the place
"The Chair" looked like it needed the maxell tape dude sitting in it.
To bad people can’t enjoy these abandoned places with out trashing these places.
Yes another amazing post. The intro is still my favorite
great video as always!!
10:22 I was wondering if there was gonna be a TWD reference. I bet that was Rick out in the cop car! :O
I guess the police were just checking that no one was trying to burn in down, because of all the fire damage .
