Посмотрите на исследование в одиночку Urbex он видел то что многие на его месте отдали бы концы.
Pls continue uploading more educational videos
"They'd wheel the beds out into the sunshine" *engine revvs* . I got this mental image of motorised beds roaring out of the rooms to jostle for the best spots on the balcony.
That…is…HILARIOUS!!!
Oh the images running thru my brain now!
Aren’t outtakes fantastic! Some of the best parts of making the videos!
Thanks for this K! 🤣🤣🤣
"`1 in 7 people had died of TB" It's so weird because I had to write a bunch of Halloween stories for an event last year, and I decided to make one of them a ghost story about a girl who died of TB and the local superstition that sprung up around the disease, and it got rejected because the people running it didn't think TB made sense and was "too weird" to be historically accurate or interesting. I'm like "wth planet are you living on??" It was an adaptation of a story from real life. smdh There is an old TB hospital at our local medical school and it's haunted AF. VERY scary to be there at night!
Wow! They were clueless!
Too weird!?
Not historically accurate or interesting!? SMH
Thank you for watching and commenting m0L3ify! I appreciate it!
My grandfather died in a sanatorium in mass. But he was there for alcoholism.
So many people these days have lost their sense of history. It's gotten much much worse in the last 5 to 10 years. They've been told that Covid is the most horrible thing so they know about these other pandemics and flu's but in their mind they just don't match things anymore because they are so busy with now and pushing forward. it's something that you can actually watch in a number of places in a lot of people. Without that connection to help them conceptualize these historic details they have lost most real understanding. i really wish more people would study some of their history rather than just be obsessed with making history or fixing history based upon what somebody else says must be wrong with it without really learning their history either.
Dude. Your much better then MOST history teachers I have had. You'd make one hell of a History Teacher. The kids would love you
Wow! Thank you Misty! I really appreciate that! 😊
When I was a kid we drove past the Molly Stark Hospital every time we went to Canton. I was just mesmerized by the building. To me it was so beautiful ( back then) and so unique
The no emergency room sign always fascinated me as we drove by, and we could see the building barely from the road (I was a kid so I was short). I wonder what happened to that sign...
I did my clinicals for Nursing here in 1989. My first day there I thought it was the spookiest place I had ever seen! Early morning, the sun not quite rising, and a foggy mist surrounding the building!! I can still see it!! I wrote my first English paper about this place. When you are there it's unforgettable. All these years later.
Wow Marianne! How awesome is that!
Surrounded by all that farmland creating that fog, standing in that old building! I can’t imagine how that would have felt!!
Thanks for sharing this!
And thanks for watching and commenting!
My grandmother also said she did her nursing clinical there. We live about 20min from Molly Stark. Did you happen to go to Aultman school of nursing?
Nope. Never been. Why do you ask?
@@CuriousHistoryYT they were one of the very last nursing classes to do clinicals there before it closed. My grandma said the memories of that place haunted her for years! She was an RN for over 30yrs, but this place always gave her the creeps to talk about. Thanks for the awesome video!
Thank you for the awesome comments! 😊😊😊
In Kentucky, people with TB were forced to live in Mammoth Cave. They did run electricity into the cave, but still..no sunlight. Can you imagine?😭😭
Oh my goodness Joanna! I had no idea! That’s pathetic if you ask me.
Thanks for sharing this. And thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it!
@@CuriousHistoryYT your right that is Pathetic, and Ridiculous. Of course as humans we have done this time and time again. Not necessarily making people live away from loved ones and others. But Mentally Distanceing them from Society. I realize you have to isolate people that are sick with something easy catching and no cure. But at least make it comfortable. A cave I'd out of the question.
Yep. Let’s at least place them in a comfortable environment where they can focus on getting well!
There was a sanatorium in Louisville. See my above comment.
I'm told that some of the buildings at a local college here (Colorado Springs) were originally a TB Sanitarium.
Great video! As a paranormal researcher I have visited Molly Stark before and captured a shadow figure in the Children's Ward building. Really appreciate the back history and research you did for this video👍
Thank you for the kind words! I certainly appreciate it!
I am envious of your profession! I don’t have the character makeup to be a paranormal researcher but I wish I did.
Thanks again for watching!
Awesome thanks
I would love to see that image! This was a great video for sure. I'll be looking at your channel as well.
You have cool videos!
I didn't know about the people like some of our presidents and actors died of tb. That's to bad. 🙁 Nicely done video. Thank you. 😊
I like how you don't venture into the hospital. You don't need to, your storytelling is just fantastic. Great video 🙂💛💗
Thanks liv! I appreciate this!
It’s posted no trespassing and fenced off. There is also a hefty fine if you’re caught doing so. And don’t even get me started about the asbestos!
@@CuriousHistoryYT my name is Julia
@@livhonestly sorry Julia. Was just addressing you by your TH-cam name.
@@CuriousHistoryYT I mentioned it to be personable and friendly 🙂
Thanks Julia. Sometimes it’s difficult for me to understand the feelings behind a comment.
It’s wonderful to meet you! Thank you for being so understanding! 😊
I love your channel. I always knew Ohio had some T.B. Hospital s but I wasn’t sure where they were. I was always amazed by how huge and beautiful they had built them. Only to be destroyed by years of disease and death and creepiness! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the kind words Jay! Glad you enjoyed the video.
And thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. My late husband was in a sanitarium in Wilson NC in the 50s. He was one of the lucky ones who got better and went home. He tested positive for the rest of his life but never became active again.
Lucky indeed. So many were less fortunate.
Thank you for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!
Its normal to test positive t.b. the rest of your life if you have it
Yep and so many people do have it but it never bothers them
@@CuriousHistoryYT yes you can be a carrier and never know it. Thats why tb testing is used so often
Amazing, but sad story well told sir. My Dad lost his first wife to TB. She passed in a small sanatorium in Middleton, Mass. He was left with two children cared for by him and his parents. He married my Mum several years later. He took me up to the site his first wife passed. Just a foundation left. The look on his face reliving his loss. Very sad.
Thank you for sharing this Susan.
It’s amazing how unaware I was of how TB still affects the world.
I can’t imagine his pain.
I have been interested in the Essex County sanatorium for years. There are not many pictures of the place, but I did find some newspaper articles about it. From what I had read, the patients were very well cared for.
Good to hear. Many TB hospitals were fantastic. Doctors and especially nurses on the front lines doing their best.
So very sad.😥
LOL love the bloopers. Real people, real places. Steady on John, steady on. Keep the videos coming.
Glad you enjoyed that John! I love the bloopers too. It’s a very real process.
More videos on the way.
Thanks again for watching and commenting!
What an amazing building! The architect should be applauded. How sad that it has deteriorated to that extent. After we were all immunized for polio, then, our parents would hide us away if there was any talk of TB. For my first job we needed a TB test and work permit. I remember that twice a year all the teachers were tested by the county nurses. If I remember right any health care workers, teachers or food handlers had to be tested at least once a year, but, quite often twice, and that was up to the middle/late 60s.
Disagree. It is a very ugly building indeed.
I enjoyed your video. I am very familiar with molly stark, I went there several times before they put the fence around the property. We were able to get up close and try to see in windows, it is something u have to experience, buildings aren't like this anymore, it's a historic place for sure.
That’s fantastic Angela! And you’re right, buildings aren’t like this anymore. I truly hope something can be done to preserve Molly Stark.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Stumbled upon this video randomly and I thought it was very well done. My mother worked at Molly Stark from the late 80s until the mid-90s when the residents were moved out. As a child, I remember going there and being very freaked out to the point where I think I only entered the building once. She has told me about the elevators doing their own thing. It is a shame how some people have helped destroy such a beautiful historic building.
A shame indeed. Such a beautiful building!
Thank you for watching hermionesparkles! I appreciate it!
I worked in the medical field for years and I was sent to Molly Stark to pick up paper works. That was one scary place to walk into.
Was it after it closed Alma?
I have just found your site. Very happy that I did. Love the presentation.
Thank you David! Glad you’re enjoying it!
Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
Just came across your channel today while looking for "Haunted Ohio" type videos. Very well made and easy to watch. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers.
That’s very kind of you to say Rebecca. Thank you.
And thank you for watching and subscribing! I certainly appreciate it!
Are there any haunted locations in Ohio that you’d be interested in seeing? I’d be happy to do some research.
Same. I found the channel last week, awesome how he delivers.✨🌸🌞
Thank you Dana! 😊
Wow I had no idea TB was this bad. Very interesting history. Good stuff👍🏽
Thanks Kelly!
I felt the same when I was researching. I actually know someone who has tested positive for TB. Fortunately it’s dormant. Crazy stuff.
Thanks for watching!
@@CuriousHistoryYT that’s crazy I never here of that now a days😳
@@kellybiggs3548 this is according to the CDC…
Up to 13 million people in the United States have latent TB infection, many of whom were born outside the United States and were infected many years earlier in areas of the world where TB is common.
n On average, 5 to 10 percent of people with latent TB infection will progress to infectious TB disease in their lifetime. However, this is much higher for some people.
n The vast majority of TB cases in the U.S. now are associated with these persons with longstanding, untreated latent TB infections which progress to active disease.
Great tribute to the Starks. My 4th great grandfather was a green mountain boy and heard John Stark speak those famous rallying words at the battle of Bennington. We are wise to remember the bravery of those who won our freedoms.
I agree Eric. We should definitely remember and honor those who sacrificed so much for us.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm always telling my children to vote and try to stay up to date with current political news. I tell them our ancestors fought in the revolution war and we better remember their sacrifices.
Good words to remember!
Thanks for this Mary! 😊
One of my favorite parts of this is the tribute to John and Molly Stark. As a niece and cousin of three nurses, I was touched by Molly's devotion and care for her husband's men.
She was an amazing person!
Definitely has the voice for this. Lots of good history of the area. Learning a lot!
Thank you for the kind words! I am honored you feel that way.
My paternal grandfather lost a brother and sister in 1929 to TB. Both had been in sanitariums one in Cincinnati the other in California. There was a twelve year old child left behind due to one of the deaths. I have letters written between then and back home to family. Very very sad!
I really appreciate how you incorporate the historical context of your showing the locations in your videos down to detailed context, it helps make the picture in my head understand better.
I appreciate that Silk Starlight! Thank you! 😊😊
I actually worked there in 1979. JTNist Nursing Home next door had been open since the early 70’s. It had extended care floors, a Drug and alcohol rehab area on first floor. There was also a disabled extended care children’s floor.
Excellent! John, you should be a history teacher!
Thanks Jeff! Glad you enjoyed it! I’ve always loved history.
He is a history teacher, and a very fine one!
He is lol .
Excellent story excellent production my hats off to you for the historical value as well.
Thank you for the kind words Marc! I really appreciate it!
Reminds me of the Waverly Hills sanitorium in Louisville, KY. Nowadays they have "ghost tours" of the old place but to me that just seems highly disrespectful to the folks who suffered and died there. One doesn't know but folks visiting on these tours as a lark may have had a relative in the past who was confined there. My half brother and all his side of the family are from, or still live in Louisville. I lived there as a child and I'm quite sure in my neighborhood (Okalona) that my neighbors probably had relatives in living memory that were there that they personally remembered and cared for. I think the best thing they could do for that place would be to demolish it and turn the grounds into a park, with a monument to the folks that died there placed where the building is now instead of continuing to let it rot away until time and the elements do their slow work.
Are you referring to demolishing Molly Stark or Waverly? It's been discussed on the future of Molly Stark and one of the concerns is making sure the architecture isn't lost. One of the ideas is to build something for the parks there and use the arches and balconies in the front in the building as part of their front wall and entrance. I haven't heard since Covid any new plans or if that plan is moving off the brainstorming table and into a feasibility study.
@@Knight-of-Sarcasm I'm referring to Waverly Hills. I've never heard of Molly Stark. Just looked it up and it says that's in Ohio which explains why I've never heard of it. Only been to Ohio a couple of times to King's Island and to the POW Camp Chase in Columbus as I once participated in a living history encampment there.
@@Rebel9668 I admit I have a desire to visit Waverly and see it; I have a fascination with abandoned buildings in general though I haven't ever carried through. There are many videos on YT that help me with the hobby though. Should you come up to Canton, we're just nestled 2 hours below Clevelend and 2 from Columbus and have much more than Molly Stark here to enjoy; besides the parks system that is mentioned in the video, we have many historical places, and to tickle your fancy, we have both a cat museum (I think it's Fancy Cat sponsored!) and a Troll House, both in Alliance! I'm rather proud to be living here, and of course should you be a football fan we are the heart of Pro Football--but we locals want to be known for much, much more than that.
@@Knight-of-Sarcasm Canton you say? That's funny because I live in Canton, Indiana now. Our Canton is a very small unincorporated rural community though. We're about 30 miles NW of Louisville, KY or about 3 miles east of Salem, IN. I live on the John Hunt Morgan trail (Confederate raider) and am just a short drive from lots of historical places of interest. I'm originally from Henry County Tennessee about 18 miles NW of Paris, the County seat in a place known as Hico community (Not on any map, too small). Never knew much about football, but in this area the biggest draw is college basketball. I'm roughly halfway between IU and UofL :)
As a Stary County resident I learned quite a bit about the hospital and the history you presented. I am a Dueber Hampden collector as well. I thought the womens watch call "Molly Stark" was in reference to the hospital. Mr. Dueber also had a mens watch called General Stark. Now it all makes sense, thank you
Your historical narratives...AWESOME!!
Thanks Thomas! I appreciate the kind words!
And thanks for watching!
So sad... I worked there in the 70s. Always loved that old bldg & the grounds...
Hi Kay
Thank you for for being a part of an incredible team of people who worked at Molly Stark. I’m sure you have many stories you could tell.
I really hope someone will step up and find a way to clean up and fix up the building for public use in some way.
Thanks for watching the video and thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it!
This was a very interesting video!!! As a nurse I found the information about TB fascinating!!! I learned a lot about the illness that I didn't know !! I was surprised to learn about the famous people who died from TB !!! You did a lot of research and the history you provided was awesome!!! Thank you for the wonderful video!!!
Thank YOU for the wonderful comment Elaine! And thank you for taking care of people as a nurse! 😊
Props for knowing the difference between a sanatorium and a sanitarium, and using it properly.
Thanks James!
I love this building so much! I hope someone can fix this building up and open it for tours and ghost hunts. I’ve visited multiple times and it’s an amazing building and I always feel like I’m being watched. It’s definitely a creepy feeling, but I’m used to it. I’ve had many strange things occur, despite me never going inside. I’m doing an exterior ghost hunt in a few weeks. You’ve earned a new subscriber!
THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING SILLYPLUSHSTUDIOS! Welcome to the community! I am so glad you are here!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This is a wonderfully presented tale. A sad time in the life of our country. And yes TB is still amongst us.
Thank you for this LV! I appreciate your kind words and continued support! 😊
Fascinating. I would love to know more about this place. Thanks for a great video - again!
Thank you again Kiwi! 😊
Excellent John! I learned a lot, enjoyed the details of the history, your presence was intriguing and the music stirring 👍
Thank you Renee! I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!
I never heard of this story before. It's very sad and creepy at the same time. Thank you for the history lesson. Keep up the good work. God bless.
Sad indeed Kerri66. Thanks for the encouragement!
And thanks for watching and commenting!
Just found your channel - enjoying it very much thank you
Thanks for the kind words Barbara! Glad you’re enjoying it.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Also, even in the 60s, mental patients were not always treated well.
That’s sadly true!
My maternal grandfather had TB and was in a sanatorium in the 19200's-30's. He did not die from it but I am wondering what his experience was after watching this documentary. Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching Laura!
I’ve lived in Stark County for 8 years now and have driven past this building many times. I’ve always wondered its history but always forget to look it up by the time I get home. This was posted on Facebook and I’m so glad I saw it. What a sad but interesting history.
Thank you for watching Andrea!
That is such a beautiful building and it is a great pity that it is falling to ruin because of the sadness inside.
I agree Susan. Such a shame. I wish it could find an owner who could put it to good use!
Thank you for being able to laugh at yourself. My great uncle died of TB in an Oklahoman Sanitorium at Talahina (spelling?).
Thanks for this Jean. Sorry to hear about your great uncle. Very sad.
I absolutely love your work. Thank you for bringing me a lot of entertainment.
So very nice of you to say Lou! It’s my pleasure!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
There is an old TB sanitorium in Louisville KY, where I grew up, called Waverly Hills. It's very well known, and it's being preserved now, thankfully. It really intrigued me as it has almost the same story as Molly Stark, being first a TB hospital, and then a state-run nursing home, among other things. I've heard the nursing home at Waverly was a terrible place to be. I've been to Waverly a few times, and it is definitely creepy. I would not want to be there at night. I can only imagine Molly Stark is the same way. Wonderful video. Wonderfully written. Fascinating.
Thank you Marie! 😊
@@CuriousHistoryYT Thank YOU, for the like and response. Did not expect that, on a 2 year old video lol.
@mariebelladonna437 absolutely my pleasure!
I lived less than 3 miles from Molly Stark Hospital. Most older people said the word in hushed tones. I got my TB and Polio vaccinations there in what would have been at the time the administrative buildings. (circa 1960). A co-worker I had years later, had taken a job there and ended up quitting because of psychic phenomena. Heart breaking to see it now in this condition. The phenomena, was absolutely true. I've seen them myself.
Another local here. I find the stories for her and for Massillon State Hospital both mesmerizing. Both hospitals were built to be beautiful and both are now in sad repair. I'm not sure what Heartland plans to do with the buildings that remain at Massillon State, but I hope that the park concept that was originally planned and used when it was built can be used again. I like how the statue of the saint was moved to the Cherry Street Catholic Church near 21and is in a shrine there. So much history in Stark County that many of the younger gens don't know about.
This was another true bizarre story that I never knew anything about and I grew up in Steubenville. Wow! You do a great job of telling the story and setting the right mood. Thanx again
Thank you Rick! It’s crazy how much goes on in our own backyard that we may not know about!
Thanks again for watching watching and commenting!
Ten years ago, I was in a drug rehab ( for alcohol) and everybody had to have a TB test before you were allowed to serve food to your housemates!
My grandmother had TB. It killed her young. She had it in lungs and in uterus. She had 8 children. My father enlisted in the US Army after her death. So sad.
Very sad indeed Eunice. Thanks for sharing this.
When my grandma worked there it was the Massillon state Hospital, thankyou I really enjoy hearing about the history of the building
Thank YOU for watching and commenting Jane! 😊😊
Thank you sooo much. I work at a state school built in 1939, running since 1939, in Buckley, WA. The dormitories are no longer in use, but many sightings, many strange things happen there. I have experienced it myself. Investigators are not allowed because clients (DDA) still live in cottages there.
Have you gotten used to it Traci, or do you find yourself always looking over your shoulder?
Thank you for watching and commenting!
My dad had TB. He was in a sanatorium for 1 year in Asheville, NC. 1960. He was always embarrassed about having TB.
Sorry to hear that Lisa. Nothing to be embarrassed about but there was definitely a stigma then.
Hi John, near the end of the video, when you were saying you had the feeling of 'being watched' to your left by the tree 3rd floor middle window, (3 windows together), there was someone there looking out at you from the inside. It did appear to be someone in a 'brown outfit.' At one point the figure was gone, and then returned. Thought you'd like to know. Thanks for this wonderful video!
Wow! I’m going to have to rewatch now! I didn’t see it when I was editing. Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks again for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
Well spotted. Certainly took me by surprise too.
I believe it is actually a skeleton branch from the tree on the far right. It’s responding to the wind.
I haven't been out that way for many years but the nursing home has a door in the basement that takes to to the building. I was an STNA and found the tunnel.
You are correct Jessie. The tunnel still exists. Although park rangers are quick to ticket anyone found trespassing in either location.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
My grandmother died in 1919 of TB. She had worked for the Salvation Army. She left behind 4 daughters
Very sorry to hear that Bea. Very sad.
I worked at Molly during the 1990's early 2000's. I loved working in a facility with such a fascinating structure. I heard the elevators go up and down without a human body but it was never frightening. I was never afraid working night shift with 2 other people. The story of Molly's history is so heartbreaking. If Molly was accessible to the public I would certainly visit. Thank you for not making up ghost stories about Molly. I feel towards Molly as my home away from home.
Thank you for the history and for watching Sue!
You taught me something! I never knew why this was called Stark County.
Excellent music choice -- overall, perfect halloween episode.
Thank you Santino! I truly appreciate those kind words!
Ghost of a lady standing in a balcony at 14.36 a man in a window at 15.62. Thank you for film, very interesting and well presented x
👀
This channel just appeared on my feed and I am now subscribed. Very interesting video and the history of this place is amazing. I didn't know that TB was still around to that extent! I look forward to watching more!!
THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING SANDYSUE202!! Welcome to the community!! I am so glad you are here!! 😊😊😊😊
I really wish they would fix the building to a point where you could go inside and look around. I used to go there and take pictures of the building and I had a chance to go inside many years ago. It's a beautiful building and a piece of history. Unfortunately the building is in horrible shape and is condemned 😞
I wish the same Viper. It’s such a shame to see such a magnificent structure decay right in front of us.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@CuriousHistoryYT you're welcome. You made awesome video.
@@CuriousHistoryYT To see great buildings left empty, to decay with nothing to be able to save such structures. I'm sure that you know the story of the Mansfield prison....on the very morning that it was scheduled for demolition, the Hollywood film crew showed up to film "The Shawshank Redemption "- on the same day as the wrecking ball.....so thusly, it was spared destruction and still stands today as a historical site. I love Ohio! So much history here! And lots of good people, too! I was born in Pa., my family came here to get jobs in the steel mills when the coal mines closed. I was "homesick " for about one year, but as I saw more of Ohio and fell in love with this buckeye state. I am so proud to be a buckeye 💖🌞
Thank you for this Zombie NurseRN!
That’s so awesome that you know about how the wrecking ball was on-site but never got to swing!
I too love old buildings and really wish this beautiful building could find a new purpose!
Such a sad reality knowing death is knocking.
Thanks for the time
Thanks for the comment!
Sad reality indeed!
Penicilium strain was discovered in at an illinois farmers market fruit stand on a cantaloupe I do believe.
That’s true! Penicillium is the official state microbe of Illinois
Thank you SO much-I enjoyed every moment.
I’ve often wondered why Wyatt Earp & his family, being close to Doc Holiday, were never reported to have contracted TB. Do you have any information about that??
Keep up the great videos..I’m hooked!
I’m guessing that doc was very careful to keep his coughing covered and, although he was friends with the Earps, I’m sure they knew the risk and kept their distance when possible.
The question I have is how Big Nose Kate evaded it!?
I really enjoyed this video. It gave lots of information about tuberculosis that I hadn't known such as some of the well-known people and celebrities who died from TB. I worked in a hospital in a non-medical capacity for many years and never saw patients, yet we still had to be skin-tested for TB every year. I've read that there are the super antibiotic-resistant strains of TB out there now that simply can't be cured. That's so frightening. Thanks again for another excellent story and I'll be checking this channel for new content. Please stay safe. 🙂
Thank you Char! 😊🙏
I was the last administrator at Molly Stark Hospital. One of my duties was to develop a strategic plan for the hospital. I engaged the Stark County community leaders to do just that. The bottom line was that Molly Stark needed to be closed.
It’s so unfortunate Linda. Must have been an extremely difficult decision
Love the bloopers at the end! Thank you!
Thanks for watching all the way through! 😊
I've been in the tunnels. My daughter is named after the building. I was married on the grounds in October 2009.
Absolutely stunning building.
Very informative! I'd never heard of this place before. Well done 👍
Thanks Rachel! 😊
My friend and I went inside of Molly Stark while our girlfriends hung around outside of it. This was sometime in 2013 I believe. I learned a lot from this video you made and I really appreciate it! This is such a cool place.
Thank you for watching Michael! I really appreciate it!
I reside in Louisville Kentucky where Waverly Hill Sanatorium sits and is said to be haunted. Well I’ve taken a tour through the hospital around Halloween time. There was nothing frighten during the tour, but while standing in the long line I felt ice cold temperature across my face. It was about 70 degrees that night but boy did it ever get cold for at least 10 seconds. I asked people who I had went with and they denied feeling anything!
Wow debsam77! Any idea what you encountered or why?
Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊
@@CuriousHistoryYT I have no ideal but it was scary because I only focused on seeing a little boy because I was told he would roll a ball down the hallway to play but I never encountered that.
That does sound scary! Thank you for sharing this!
I've been watching and rewatching your episodes. Just way you narrate and edit the videos with music is strangely calming to me. Please keep making these wonderful and educational videos. Great adventures!
Thank you Darrell! I appreciate your support!
I’ll take “strangely calming” any day! Glad it works for you!
Be well sir and thanks again for watching and commenting!
Discovered this channel just in time for spooky season. Love the care and respect you put into your videos! Appreciate all your hard work.
Thank you!
I've lived a mile from this place my whole life. I was there as a kid in the 70s when it was operational and it was creepy then.
I had an uncle that had TB before I was born in 1955. He was a veteran and in a hospital in Black Mountain close to Asheville North Carolina. All I remember is the stories from when I was a child, and he had gotten better after a few years. Thank you for your shows. Shirlk- Texas
I’m so glad he got better! That’s awesome!
Thank you for watching and commenting!😊
Great history and well told. Spooky place. I absolutely would not go in that building alone in the daytime let alone sleep there at night.
Me neither Shea. I don’t have the desire to do anything like that ever!
Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
Being from Medina County which is one county, This is a super cool story and so far I've heard about 4 stories from you and I agree with the people in the comments that you're A great storyteller, The train story in Rittman was really cool
Thank you very much Jeff! I appreciate the compliment! Very nice of you!
This was such a pleasure to watch! I am always excited to learn the history of stark county. I’m a videographer - Let me know if you ever need help with these docs!
Thanks Adam! I will certainly reach out.

@@CuriousHistoryYT i'm a avid cyclist over 3 k miles a year always searching out areas something i did as a youth . i'm new to your channel but i'm finding i have ridden thru many part s and places from your stories that i never things about like Hell Town area I'd heard stuff never in such detail . Then you did another on Cuyahoga Falls it use to have a name as white only town I know since moving to stark county that has changed drastic from my youth I use to play in the hydroelectric dam under the Sheraton hotel on front street as a youth my grand farther part in bringing the Sheraton to front street .

In the county I live in there was a to hospital with tunnels to departments. There were adventurous people who would climb down to the tunnels and walk to find out where they went. Some stopped in to be out of the cold for a short time then left. The tunnels were closed and no further haunting were found.
I really enjoyed this ! Thanks for the details . Looking forward to more !

I think you may have caught something around 11:49. It could be a leaf I suppose but I can’t ever seem to pause it to catch what it is. Love the stories . I’m looking forward to watching more.
It wouldn’t surprise me Jeremy. That place got spookier by the minute!

Welcome Betty! 😊
Hi, I just happened by one of your video's and joined your channel. I really admire how you do video's you really check out the information good, bad or indifferent! Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Awesome video Subscribed. I love even more the very end when showing all your errors while trying to make your own video with your own script. The only thing that needs to change is, have your music sound down a little bit. It was at times being a bit louder than you while you were talking, which I really hated. I'm more interested in your story then that music. So music would be better if sound was lower while you are talking louder. Other than this issue, I really liked your video.
THANK YOU MARCI!!! Welcome to the community! I am thrilled you are here!
Thanks for the guidance on the music as well. I appreciate it! 😊
Amazing documentary. 👏
Thank you Jesse! And thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
My mom’s house was built in 1910, the mom, and 3 of the five children eventually succumbed to TB. Fresh air being the remedy prescribed at the time, my mom’s house now has at least 23 windows.
I can see why! Thanks for sharing this Olivia.
Well done. It's difficult for a younger person to understand a contagious disease like TB because we have been so fortunate to have research and medications over the past sixty years to treat ailments and injuries. COVID has been a real eye-opener to what can happen. I have read that polio, TB and syphilis cases are showing up again.
Thank you Lenna! 😊😊😊
