Such a bloody shame that these places are left to rot when we have such a huge homeless issue in our country! I know that some of these places are a bit off the beaten track but surely they could be used as a short term solution!
i was there in the 80s that place is a youth corrective training centre also known as CT or borstal maximum stay is 3 to six months if you misbehaved they would send you to Waikeria prison. it was cold in the winter and hot in the summer. you did PT and press ups in the snow morning 5am and night 6pm for 30 minutes. And you would work in the forestry. It was run like an army camp. I was in the secure block in the last cell in the end when i was captured after i escaped when i was 16.🚔👮♂️👮♂️👮♂️👮♂️
This brings back memories bro thank you so much. This is the West Wing where I stayed in Cell 25 from February to July of 2015 when it finally closed and I was about to be released. Last 20 Weeks of great memories. The Chow room with the paintings had many cool functions where we use to practice our haka for a powhiri. The Kitchen dining room where we shared church on Sundays and study courses. The naughty room was the Gym room filled with a Bike, Rowing machine and a bench press workout machine. The door hanging off its hinges was the Laundry room. The Recreational pool room was cool. Playing Touch Footy almost everyday was classic. Miss those days. First time seeing snow
I'm a 57 yr old kiwi and had no idea there were so many abandoned buildings in nz.mind you I live rural outside a non descript little town..loving the footage
Yes totally awesome, I have had a few people comment that knew somebody that stayed there or had been there, Thank you for watching and your comment 🙂🙂❤
I was in there in 98. So much mischief going on it was kind of fun. I ended up in solitary confinement for my troubles but we had a blast in there too lol
Bro really impressed this was amazing you did a wicked job on showing us around and letting us look at things with you, the ghost box session was kiwi as bro, skunky and all,. Clear voices to,.
14:48 “Out Of Bounds” was what I named my edit of this place! When we visited all four units were still standing. Some demolition looks like it has has occurred, but otherwise your video looks familiar to me. This unit might be the next to vanish. Love how much effort they put into the panoramic mural in the dining hall. A contact has visited recently and said one of the two nearest eastern units has completely gone. We didn’t experience any ghosts, though!
Fkn hell my bro this vid brings bk so much memories I spent 9 months there bro befor I got shipped bk to Linton fkn freaky brother out the gate I showed my kids this vid and gave them some life lessons this ain't no holiday park this place is shit respect brother
@@TheForsakenExplorerNz it's not tht bad in the winter those pipes on the wall are heaters I use to dry my clothes on them sometimes cos we only had 2 dryer in the unit and they were always in use
I remember the carving room next to the Gates. Also a guy getting a hiding in the eating area infront of the guards during breakfast. This was 2001. Brought back some memories
I remember when I was there back in 99 there was an ants who used to work in the kitchen. Harmless man. Looking at the place now there is definitely someone dwelling there I can tell.
Died when you pulled your phone out... No app will ever be a ghost/spirit detection tool. Get an emf meter. Get a proximity 360 light. Get an actual spirit box. Don't mock the dead with an app.
Your looking at a very old video and I currently have all those tools, and for your information I've tested the phone app side by side with the "Real" tool and they preform exactly the same...
This West Wing, Rangipo Prison, held minimum security prisoners, was always a challenge catching those that were trying to bring in drugs and other contraband. Managed to do a few extra shifts in that unit, the units I worked in were Birch and then North
So that was a tinnie dealer's jail. Sad. That first part where you entered looked like and reminded me of a time when I went with some "associates " to visit a convicted tinnie dealer. We were not alowed to visit him at the end of our day. Sad that men were put in here for a plant god made to help some people with serious medical conditions than only tinnies could help them with and the men put in a place like this for somthing so not bad.
Thanks for doing this bro. I watch a lot of paranormal investigations and there’s next to nobody in NZ who does it that I know of at least. You’re doing great with what you’ve got mate keep ‘em coming
@@TheForsakenExplorerNz ok sorry about that the reason why I asked because it looks familiar I just realised I was in this unit a few years ago I just realised the painting I left this unit in 2007
That's Allgood, I used to put the locations when I first started but then I found people would go and trash places and tag etc, It's hard because people will also read all the comments to try find information about the location too 🙂
This site was originally coalminers quarters, hence the older original structures which lay the foundation for prison infrastructure..... There was an extended wing also which has been removed as they were modular units able to be transported.
Just found your channel really cool to see some of NZ I would never see. Love the paranormal side. Your conversation on the sprit box was one of the best I've heard on an investigation. Well done.
Thank you, Yes I am a empath so the spirits do seem to like taking with me, the most active I've had was My kingseat night chapter video most clearest voices I've ever heard makes my skin crawl lol, Thanks again for watching 🙂
My old working place ,.sad to see after 5 years of closure. with no disrespect your ghostradar was wrong .in some of the whare ,huts or cells some prisoners past away, from natural courses ,some to soon. R.I.P. Da Bam is still here.
Yes your quite correct, the ghost Rader will spit out words regardless, the words will only be accurate if a spirit chooses to interact with it, Thank you for watching and commenting 😁👍👍
The backstory would completely give the location away to this place, that's why I choose to not give out to much information to the viewers, Thank you for watching 👍

the reason of homelessness plz
I agree 💯😪
Was that pine camp.
interesting if it was because there was an ants in there a a rough dog both worked in kitchen
That's awesome, could quite possibly be
Last lag in West Camp 2004 never went Back there again Amen learnt my lesson Now 💤

Thanks mate, was an awesome time
Been here many many times when this place was up and running. Prison visits every Sunday as a child. Didn't know it has been left to ruins. 😮
Wouldn't it be cool to track down someone who was imprisoned here to talk about what it was like being there. Awesome video bro. Thanks heaps.
Yes totally awesome, I have had a few people comment that knew somebody that stayed there or had been there, Thank you for watching and your comment 🙂🙂❤
I was in that wing 2014
I worked there as a Officer.
Iv done time here and the other 2 units aswell which are still open cedar 1 and cedar 2.

Allgood I'm glad you enjoyed, although it's a jail the location is beautiful, But I'd imagine it would be freezing cold during the winter 👍👍 Cheers 😎

That's Allgood, I saw a photo of it all covered in snow looked abit cold

I was in that wing 2014 rangipo west unit had a saw mill and garden out back didn't look like that then
That was that one arm bandit millers garden at the back. We used to raid it's d bulk up our sanwhiches.
Nice Find Awesome Video
Thank you Matty, I'm glad you enjoyed, Thank you for watching 🙂👍
I've been to this place before. A different wing though. Experienced a few things that I'll never forget. was during the night as well.
Awesome, it's a cool location 😎 👍
I remember when I was there back in 99 there was an ants who used to work in the kitchen. Harmless man. Looking at the place now there is definitely someone dwelling there I can tell.
Was this a minimum security prison? I have never seen a prison with such an open design. Very interesting. Good video!
Medium security Prison, this was a working forestry Prison in the Bush so nowhere to run away to also lol, thank you again for watching 🙂🙂❤
Most prisons have open units like this.
Work camp prison they would work in the forestry

This West Wing, Rangipo Prison, held minimum security prisoners, was always a challenge catching those that were trying to bring in drugs and other contraband. Managed to do a few extra shifts in that unit, the units I worked in were Birch and then North

Paul, Why don;t you say what a lot of crap this bloke is talking. You and I both know it.
Nice one
Thank you ❤

Thank you and welcome to the channel 🙂👍
That Hoiho is following y'all around big time.
reminds me of Puriri unit Waikeria looks exactly the same
Yes very similar to those i think like most prisons in the North Island have similar lay out etc, Thanks for watching 🙂👍
WERE IS THIS PLACE
Demolished
😄crazzzed remember crazzzed🙃😄
That was awesome! What is the chances of going back at night?
Could do, just happened to be there during the day, but that could be a future plan
be a good place to do a movie :)
is that birch camp rangipo bro
West Camp.
A couple of other places in Wellington that is haunted st James Theater and inverlochy Art school that u should visit
Thanks for doing this bro. I watch a lot of paranormal investigations and there’s next to nobody in NZ who does it that I know of at least. You’re doing great with what you’ve got mate keep ‘em coming
He is full of crap. Read what I wrote.
This isn't the old Ohura one??
No if you watch my ghost town videos episode one I show the jail there 😎👍
Nah this ain't ohura, I worked there 1996 to April 2001 this might be west camp at rangipo
I was there doing a lag 97 98 brings back some memories watching this bugga haha
What’s this area ? Can you tell me this location please
Sorry no, No locations are given out to anybody on a public page this is to protect them from vandalism and tagging etc

Ahhh now that could explain the hauntings
There were never ever coal mines in this area. That was Ohura Prison.
That place had a lot of bad Energy in there you'd go from a carm unit to a mad one real fast
What's been your favourite explore yet? And do you have any exciting ones coming up?
Allways heaps of exciting explores, plenty more to come, thank you for watching 👍 🙂🙂
Yes. But only when the truth is told which you have a problem with.@@TheForsakenExplorerNz
Wicked bro
Thank you, +Thank you for watching 👍 👀
looks like west camp
What prison was this?
I'm sorry but I don't publicly give out any locations to private property to anybody to try and protect them from vandalism and tagging etc
MOUNT crawford wellington
@@kingkongkong2204 Yeah that's it how'd you guess 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheForsakenExplorerNz find this prison strip n trash it just 4 u😂😂😂😂😂
@@kingkongkong2204 Well I'm not to sure where "Mount Crawford Wellington" Is but if that's this place then yeah give it a shot 🤣
So did people die here ? Just curious as to why it would be haunted
Prisons always are, yes plenty of people would have died, also plenty of residual energy from years of prisoner activity, Thanks for watching 🙂
People dont have to die in a place for it to be haunted,..it may have been battle grounds back in the days 😊👍🏻
Is thia Ohura
No, no where near Ohura
Haha your mate was looking in my cell No 14 good old west unit
Gotta be Careful with spirits you gonna talk to you never know they can be evil or not evil
What kind of spirit screaming
No idea very old video this one
@@TheForsakenExplorerNz yeah

I was in that unit in December 2003
Is this Hautu? If so was there in 2000
Birch camp this looks like rangipo prison
Birch was was only one camp in the Rangipo complex
i know that prison as form carting stuff into it when they added on to it
Few of my koros were in there it's borstal ruthless place in its prime for Maori youth
My old working place ,.sad to see after 5 years of closure. with no disrespect your ghostradar was wrong .in some of the whare ,huts or cells some prisoners past away, from natural courses ,some to soon. R.I.P. Da Bam is still here.
Yes your quite correct, the ghost Rader will spit out words regardless, the words will only be accurate if a spirit chooses to interact with it, Thank you for watching and commenting 😁👍👍
My Aunty Rebecca and you fellas Bam - back in the Days
When you asked "what were you in for". I heard "rape"
His name is Dudley
I was there 1996 fir 7 years
I was there 99 so I would of met you. FK the place looks eerie now.
WOW BOSS'S WE COULD TURN THIS INTO A NRW TRAINING CAMP...RECYCLE RESULT'S
Did 3 lags there smoked the best drugs back in the early 90s
Whats the backstory dude?
The backstory would completely give the location away to this place, that's why I choose to not give out to much information to the viewers, Thank you for watching 👍
Fair enough man. Lost intrest instantly because of it though.
Enough history given before spiritbox session for you to research the location online
@@TheForsakenExplorerNz Haha! Totally. Agree. I'm pretty sure I also saw this place in an old documentary too.
I figured out where it is. I won't spill the beans to keep it safe from more vandalism.
Cheers that's the one 👍👍, I can't believe how much places get vandalized, so many places i revisit and their totally trashed on the revisit
WELINGTON MOUNT CRAWFORD i vandilse it burn the fuka down return our fukn Land coksukas
Hahaha you pretty cool guy then aye 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheForsakenExplorerNzmust b a lot of scrap metal in there ae kuzy is it easy to get in and out🤔fast with vehicles 🤣🤣
The constant background audio ostinato is extremely irritating and detracts from what is otherwise an excellent vid
Yes I personally love background music, but I'm constantly changing the music and trying new things
I like the background music, sets the scene
try going there at night more sppokier
Gone now demolished a few years ago, think this video is about 4 years old
A "Ghost Radar" App? 😂 You have got to be kidding right?
Nope, this app has been created by a world well known paranormal investigator, and i learnt about this app by watching a show he featured on, on TV
Hmm could be residual
Yes for sure
im suprised that theres not a bunch of tags and shit every where
Yes this is very true, if it wasn't for its remote location I'd say it would be in much worse condition, Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂 👍
Crikey. The scariest thing about all this is that I might accidentally meet you one day. Let's not meet, though.
I'm not sure what your meaning but anyway, thank you for watching and commenting 😎👍
Ghost radar app? 😂😂😂😂 Whoever sold you that definitely didn't lie to you lol
This place looks like apart of Pare
We heard alot of screams in the food hall
Yes I'm sure I heard a few also, Thanks for watching 😁👍
