- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
- In today's exploration, we explore an abandoned Psychiatric Center closed in 2005. On the property of a half active campus, it still has power. With over a decade of decay with a mix of power it leads to one of my favorite explorations. The place is stock piled with all the surgical equipment used on the mentally ill, including medicine and polygraph tests. If you enjoy, leave a thumbs up and subscribe for more abandoned documentaries.

Who else loves creepy hospitals?
Me.
Wow so much interest great vid thanks
Hell yeah !!
Me,
Not me, but I do love me some freaky nurses! 😂
Disgusting to see all these medical supplies, computers and furniture just decay on a scale like this. The world really has a waste problem
You mean the medical supplies that could be infected with tons of diseases on them. The computers that most likely don't work anymore. The furniture that's also probably covered in bacteria. Yeah let's just give all the disease-covered medical supplies, and furniture to all the poor countries, cause they just need MORE diseases.
sgt Hale107 obviously I meant when it was abandoned, not now - even so, a lot of it could be used for scrap. But go off I guess!
@@iamstewpit6740 you can always sanitize things, so you're just saying that all medical equipments that are being used now are also contaminated
@@mavisiu1387 Yes, but we don't know what these medical supplies were used for. They could've been used for the Spanish Flu, for all we know. And I'm pretty sure that a lot of those equipment aren't clean. And once you touch something, germs IMMEDIATELY latch onto you. And those tools have probably been sitting there for a long time, so they could be carrying some kind of infection that we've never even experienced yet.
U have a waste problem becoz u poop a lot
The very first machine was an Old EEG machine (electroencephalograph). It measures brain waves and detects seizures.
They were also use as part of electro convulsive (‘shock’) therapy for mentally ill patients.
I’m a dental assistant those chairs are so cool!

I wanted to either correct or agree on the machines purpose I was hooked up to something a little less entailed but it also had a little green screen and wires that had alligator clips that connected to a very uncomfortable rubber net that was placed on my head but for still some of the same uses I have some brain damage so they wanted to measure how much thank god that machine is no longer used because the patient was also put to sleep
Actually, it's not an EEG or ECG machine, it's a scientific polygraph machine. If you pause the video it even says so on top. Not the "polygraph" as used by police, but just a universal scientific instrument that graphs more than one input voltage within a specified frequency band. It's a universal scientific tool that can be used to graph signals coming from electrodes, and thus can be configured to graph signals from the brain, heart and other neural activity from humans or lab animals, or any other sort of source signal that lies within the limits of the machine's inputs. That's why it has some many modules with many buttons and dials. It can be reconfigured into an EEG (electroencephalograph) or an ECG (electrocardiograph) or anything else a university research department or hospital might need. It's much larger and more complex than smaller specialized polygraph machines that are made specifically as EEG, ECG, etc... machines...
They were modular to allow for expansion should the user need to graph a large amount of signals at the same time.
Although these machines were probably used, as you said, for recording brain waves usually just as a diagnostic tool to see if patients had any unusual brain wave activity that could be due to mental illnesses like epilepsy, narcolepsy, sleep disorders, etc..., and less frequently, to monitor brain waves during the administration of electroconvulsive therapy ;)
Was hoping somebody else knew that.
@@HPPalmtopTube it's a old hospital facility, they wouldn't have any use for a polygraph. Use your common sense.
I really like that you are respecting the patients, by not reading their files. Also, that you keep everything the way you found it, you don’t disrespect the building or cause any damage to the places you explore.
proceeds to open goody bags FOR patients
HIPPA laws bruh
@@r6bbitLol, but there are no more patients!
not on film he dont
I love how you respect the patient files!! Kudos to you...
Certain floors stairwells were locked for a reason. The first one was if it was a psychiatric or detox ward to prevent the patients from either wandering away or escaping depending upon thier mental capacity. The second was to prevent anyone from wandering into sterile areas by accident like an operating room.
That "Toothpick" you guys found in the complimentary bag is actually a combination cutical pusher and nail cleaner. That old tube of toothpaste had the same consistency when it was new, and while alcohol free mouthwash isn't automatically bad, that particular brand tasted like it was colored, and left a Wierd film on your teeth.😝
Love you guys, but PLEASE! Wear masks and gloves next time! Anything you touch, especially with power still on, can be heavily infected! There can still be blood or mold in some places, and when it’s airborne, it can seriously hurt or even kill you. Happy exploring!💖💖💖
Some viruses and bacteria can be reanimated.
Especially touching the lab coats 😬 that made me cringe. Being a phlebotomist you see it all.
@@itsmalachii if he doesn't have any cuts or open wounds on his hands nothing bad is gonna happen. I explore hospitals and stuff too and I touch things and syringes all the time. I wash my hands thoroughly when I get home and i bet this guy does too
Aj, you touch syringes all the time? Ffs they can be pricks!
@@chrisbuckley5657 I mean if there's a towel or paper towel around i'll use that and i always wear gloves. But of course i never grab them by the needle end, as long as you don't grab them by that end then there shouldn't be any problem but it's good to always be cautious.
This is creepy, I’m out.
Lol, same!
Por esa radon es que hay tango robo con las indentidades de las personal por culpa de algunos sites que quedan abandoned y esa information las cojen para user's con personal y queen tienen culpa personal inrespinsables que no les important de cojones que pueda Pasar el governor siempre ha tenifo la culpa pir no investigation esos cados eso se le Llama ser irresponsible y vagos.
i’m planning on going to one of these for my birthday. absolutely adore old abandoned hospitals/ asylums. just the history is so interesting, it’s beautiful.
Wear mask
Do drugs first! You gotta do drugs first.
did u go?
@@simplysouthern5725 why
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this video. I am a nurse (class of '95). I would love to find something like this! At 5:00- that is an autoclave, used to sterilize reusable equipment. (There is a lot less reusable these days, most everything is disposable.) At 8:00, that is probably a sterile bladder irrigation kit. 14:30 - "goody bags" have not changed much over 25-30 years! Also I applaud your willingness to try something obviously expired (the toothpaste), but I am glad you recognized the possible danger. And OMG the hideous hospital green throughout!!!
If the autoclave system can clean medical equipment and this technology has existed for some time why move to disposable equipment seems very wasteful. The current throwaway society isn't sustainable in the long term
Hospital green just happens to be one of my favorite colors
Hi Nurse! Class of 1971 here. Yeah I am old but I love these videos.
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 I think it's probably best to throw it out because some diseases are gross and maybe some cleaning stuff can't help kill the germs off of it that's probably why they have to throw out
Heat doesn't always kill germs if the disease is really bad
@@ashleygameplay2273 they don't use heat alone they use UV radiation in an autoclave. Either way the medical industry as it stands is not sustainable.
How the heck do you find these places??? do you have to do research before going?? Holyheck this is so cOOl
some people actually find places like this when they are out in walks, especially in quiet places in America
I find some by chance and some through research. Generally there is a lot of research involved to dig up history on these places and it’s fascinating 😍

@@meowwwuh woah that's a nice website, thanks man
It's an autoclave... It's used to sterilize surgical instruments.
Your channel is consistently getting better all the time, your care for the subject shows clearly in each one. I very much enjoy your editing style, and the fact that you take your time, allowing us to see what you do for more than a split second. Your panning is smooth, your framing and composition excellent, and your use of contrast is nicely artistic. This place has a huge amount of equipment left, and very little vandalism...that makes it a pleasure to see. You are travelling in good company with The Proper People. Thanks for sharing this.🖤🇨🇦
Your words mean so much ❤ thank you so much
This machine is not a lie detector its an electroencephalogram machine to mesure brain function. The chair next to it not a dentist chair its an ofthalmologic chair for eye exam. Great place
So “polygraph” isn’t just one kind of machine, I take it, but rather anything with multiple needles and multiple parameters?
Opthalmology
It’s nice to see some of the most genuine group of people in the exploring community collaborating . This video was so well done , editing narration and all. Great job , always look forward to your work!!!
This is my favourite exploration youtube channel,
everyone else just seems to annoy the hell out of me.
If you like this check out the proper people
Museum quality. Great upload why do places just get left untouched unbelievable some collectibles their and believe me someone's gonna take em.
- eBay items.
*there
Miss toots someone else corrected me this week on another one of my their, there, they're speeling mistakes. I only do it for replies! Thanks !
Mags Errybody *spelling
Miss toots pesky magpies
Lmao.... that wasn't a polygraph machine. It's an old EKG.
Mike Y. Old EEG ur not right either! Lol
He says "polygraph tests", even better imo. It adds charm
I love the creepy vibes. I don’t know why I do but my favorite things are old abandoned asylums, and just everything with creepy stories from ages ago. I’m so glad you give us this kind of content to watch, you are one of my favorite TH-camrs and your videos are always re-watchable!
I worked in an old asylum 30 years ago; it still stands. It's amazing how many places are abandoned with equipment left behind but the worst is when they leave undestroyed patient records.
Imagine being the first one to explore this before anybody else got to it and trashed it... it's not tagged up yet but definitely someone spent the day throwing everything around. Very cool explore I love watching your videos after a long day
every time he touched something i would be like "nooooooo"
Why??nothing based is gonna happen
Lmao same
I like : TOUCH IT NOWWWWW
“The building’s expired...” 😂😂
😂😂😂
you guys are great love the channel, i admire that you dont go in to these places and destroy anything and are respectful of the patients records. Very ethical "Leave No Trace" way of exploring. I cant believe the amount of drugs, equipment, power to the building left on, and sensitive information that is left behind...unreal. Be safe.
Love your youtube channel keep up the good work
How do places even become like this? It’s as if everyone had to run out of the building randomly for no reason and never came back... so weird
Omg I thought I was the only one wondering that! I always wonder how chairs just hang out in the middle of the hall too, how everything is just kinda torn up with no explanation
You'd think the drugs and syringes would be gone
Elliot Toast ikr!
Probably some masks in there that would be handy now.
pathogens bruh
1:35 who needs lie detector when you are strapped to dentist chair...you start to tell everything :)
Amazing work dudes! This spot is absolutely INCREDIBLE, props man safe exploring!
Ugh....that creepy standard hospital mint green.....on everything.🤢☠️👻
Hey! Don't hate, I love that color :)
Thank you for sharing your exploration of the psychiatric hospital, that machine you said was a polygraph machine, may have been used to monitor the patient as they were getting electric shock therapy. I thought you were very respectful of the building and the history of it and the people who may have resided therein. I agree it is a terrible thing they have done to leave files of personal information of the patients behind the very least they should have done was shred them or burn them. You would think they'd donate the sine wave equipment and lights etc to a less advantaged hospital or send them to a poor country where they could still be used. Thank you again for being respectful. Cheers from Tasmania!
Everytime watching these kind of videos i wonder why everything is left behind like this? Why isn't it empty? Computers, surgical instruments, clothes - everything is left.
I Sooooo Would Luv 2 Read Some of The Files, Probably A Lot Of Missing Persons Here👼👼👼
Same
🙂
MeloDee Faith Mileez nah, just dead people who probably wouldnt like nosy people reading their files ,u,
Thats really disrespectful to those people. Its a huge invasion of privacy and illegal.
I'd b nosey af n read it
Love these places, cannot get enough of them, so much stuff left behind, some really good documented video's, never seen anything like it, thank you so much for sharing, awesome.
Appears to be of the 1960's, & 1970's era.
Saw the Instagram post at work today-could not wait to clock out, come home, get under the covers, and explore!!!
After working in one of the larger hospitals in NZ for 20yrs in Sterile Supplies, this was an interesting watch. So many things I could say something about too seeing as all departments like this are different including size & what they do etc, the one in your videos a teeny size though, I’d guess they used to buy in a lot of things and didn’t do much real surgical work just from the size alone.
One of the large machines in the room you went into may of been a washer of some kind, but hard to tell, but the one next to it where it had the round graph paper, that’s definitely a sterilizer and a steam powered one, I’ve checked those graphs more times than I’d like to count, but even those sterilizers are old, new/current ones are more computerized but they do still run on steam.
The package you were trying to see inside of just before you went to the table piled high of syringes, I’m betting it was an Asepto Syringe in it, basically a hand pumped syringe, quite often glass, the pump part was actually on the table with the other syringes, the big red ball, it has a hole you push a syringe onto it, then pump away.
Lastly, and I’m probably wrong, but knowing from computers at my work, when they glitched like that, it was more often than not the Refresh Rate needing a reset.
Now I’ve filled your brain up with more useless details, thank you for the great videos and for showing respect to the places and people you showcase.

It is sad how all of this medical equipment could go to a third world country and help others for a very long time............
I was thinking of the same thing
Probably something wrong with them that's why they left it
Not going to lie single that medical stuff to strewn about just as so wasteful looking but then again I'm sure they're reasons to why
And you get a gold star for effort in trying to use the English language!
...uh what? I didn't understand..please speak English ..
lemme translate since some ppl can’t read through typos and/or just wanna be assholes😴 “not going to lie, seeing that medical stuff strewn about is just so wasteful looking. but then again, i’m sure they’re reasons as to why.”
U right. And I know this is old but you guys are soo Rude
@@coleyxx Thought I'd correct the correction - feel free to join in; “Not going to lie, seeing that medical stuff strewn about is just so wasteful looking. But then again, I’m sure there're reasons as to why.”
They are exploring the hospital with cameras and I am exploring TH-cam with twizzlersｖ
I remember watched The Proper People exploring this place. The EEG machine was in the middle of the room but in here it moved
Thank you for keeping medical records private.
Awesome video! Your work keeps on getting better and it's a pleasure to follow. And collaborating with the proper people ... amazing! Keep up the good work and all the best !
Amaaaaaazing place!!!!
It is almost pristine.
Very cooool vídeo!
Thanks.
Guys, wonderful 😊. I've explored for many years and the social history of places draws me, wondering what people's lives were like in the places you visit. I'm also a nurse having been so for 25 years, including working in the operating theatres, I have a huge huge interest in abandoned medical places. I live in England, and I'm certain the places you get to visit are far better than any I've been too. Absolutely love watching you, stumbled on your channel last night and hooked since😊😊
Devin, I think it's great that you are so careful to respect the privacy of the patient records. It is really unbelievable that the patient records are abandoned like that. Not sure where you recorded this, but each state has laws regarding retention and storage of medical records, and I am guessing that this might be a violation, depending upon the statute of limitations. The records should have been securely stored, or if sufficient time had passed, destroyed.
The building they were in is on a semi-active campus. Maybe the campus administration believes the building is still secure, and thus the records? That is if they've even thought about the place during the last 15 years.
Hey DEF. Cool exploration! Those machines you said we're washers for surgical equipment are called "Autoclave" and, or surgical steamer. I'm not sure if they still use them to sterilize items anymore but I'm not aware if they did? As long as there was power I wish you would have turned on one of those big surgical lights on. Oh' by the way, there were boxes of medical gloves all over the place you could have used to touch stuff?

Ah the Proper People, what a nice surprise! Great work, love all the explores!
A big Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 🍀🍀🍀🍀, love seeing really old era buildings, and all the stuff they used and had from back then.. love HISTORY.. 📽🎥📻📺🎩🏺love your channel.. keep up the abandoned history findings.. absolutely DEADLY.
Another amazing video 💜 Thank you! I just recently found your channel and have been binge watching for the past few days. If those bottles of orange liquid are what I would assume them to be if I saw them in person, I'd think they were for a glucose test for pregnant women. I've had to drink one of those (if that's what it is) before and it is not pleasant. You drink the whole thing within a certain time period, then have your blood drawn and tested to see how much sugar stays in your bloodstream. Anyway, I love your videos and am really glad I found your channel. Stay safe!
That 'Polygraph' was in fact an EEG mate.... used to trace electrical brain activity. Those chairs were probably used as part of the EEG lab.
That first machine is not to tell if your lying. Its called a md5 hash. It was used to measure frequencies in the patients brain for thier mental health while cleaning teeth
thats insane that all of that is still left behind. It literally blows my mind.
Another Great Exploration!!! Thank you!!!
I'm your new subscriber from El Paso Texas. I like the way you talk and very calm and respectful. Take care.
My step sister lives in el paso too
@@karina_martinez420 does she. It's a nice city.
Is it any wonder why health insurance and services are so alarming, look at this waste, and I'm sure its just a drop in the bucket....
The old chairs and medical devices are worth money,I'm really surprised that no one has been in these buildings stealing things.
You know those vids on YT with just a little extra *WOW* all your videos are like those!!!😍😍 *I cant stop watching your videos like, its too much of the best* 😱🥰
Thanks for the tour.
This was so interesting! Love your videos!
Great video , creepy place and all that stuff left behind ... I really enjoyed the video !!!
I always wonder what happened to the employees and patients
There are still approx 1000 employees working on the campus, and remaining patients specific to this building were moved to nearby facilities. Keep in mind this is still a semi-active campus which although wasteful, explains the power being on. And unless they have permission to enter (which I doubt), what this guy and his friends are doing is trespassing. That said, at least they're not 're-appropriating' or destroying anything.
@@PeterOhlmus josh usually has permission if he explores lost places
Crazy that theres still power with lights still working!. And am I the only one that is confused as to WHY it is that you can be in a building that hasnt been repainted in 20 years and the paint is fine, yet when the building is abandoned, the paint on the walls peels within a few short years... Even in areas that are sealed and not exposed to weather!! Paint peeling even though theres still power going in the building with machines on!...I wonder why that is........ My ol Grannies farmhouse hadnt been painted since the '60's and its never peeled... even the paint inside her porch! Anyhow. Would LOVE to explore that kind of thing! Thanks for the vid.
@Josh Frank YA, BUT LEAD PAINT WAS ON THE WALLS YEARS AGO...Never peeled when occupied seems to only peel after abandonment. weird
probably has something to do with temperatures wildly going up and down because the building is not being heated anymore!
I can’t believe that hospital still has electricity.
Some of that stuff left and sound proof rooms looked more like torture 😱 amazing that’s there is still power- brilliant yet again 🌹
Cool explore. Love the old abandoned hospitals. Especially the haunted ones, lol. 💛👍👍
The lights make it even more terrifying. You can see how the people lived and worked there as if it was ... now!
Great Job. It is really enjoyable to watch this video. You have a very good working knowledge of equipment and names of such. Please keep them coming. All my best... >
MORE OF THIS DUDE WITH HIS CALM VOICE 👏
9:38 This glass thing looks little bit like a bong lol
Thats crazy , they left a lot . Great video man.
I study sciences and medicine histology histopathology cytology medical pathology. So interesting in this
U know what how do some things stay white in these abanndonned places and I can't even keep a shirt white for a day
Why skip over mentioning the calendar from 2000 posted on the bulletin board? On this trek, that’s your best indicator of the last time it was occupied.
The machine in the dentists office is an older electrocardiograph (EKG ) used in the monitoring of the heart as well as other parts of the body.
The top of the machine says polygraph if you pause the video you can see it. Not displacing your comment. Just pointing that out
It is an EEG (electroencephalogram) machine, which is used to measure and record "brainwaves," for evaluation of conditions such as seizure disorders.
Great to watch, but you are making too many assumptions. Walking into Central Supply saying it's a laboratory, calling an autoclave a washer, EEG machine a polygraph to find out if patients are lying...
He isn't a medical student how would he know
Good video, continue doing what you're doing, thanks.
Love this creepy sort of video. Really get a Jacob's Ladder/Hellraiser vibe from all the weird medical equipment, decay and general layout. Seeing decaying operating theatres, surgical gowns, gloves, etc just is so chilling, makes you wonder what went on there. Was it an asylum or a research clinic? were the patients medical research volunteers? were the surgeons doing medical experiments on people?
Yup...Jacobs ladder 👍
@@SuV33358 Definitely Jacob's Ladder! Hellraiser too, this could be a derelict Channard Institute from Hellraiser 2!
From what I've read, the specific building they were in is one of many, and was historically a 'Female Acute Ward', but later was admin and psych related before closing in around 2005. Some pretty notable Patients and Staff worked on the campus, which is still semi-active.
I love the old operating. Rooms. With the big flood lights. There not make them like that know more there all led now ones
I study sciences and medicine histology histopathology cytology forensic pathology diagnostic medicine ect. I love them I also collect. Medical stuff
Breaks my heart to see all these gowns & medical equipment which we so badly NEED in this pandemic, blatently laziness and carelessness leaving peoples files like that how is this even allowed??
Oh my god. All those cabinets and shelves. Be still my heart.
EDIT: Even all of those big-ass solid doors would make a great garage overhead storage or workbench.
That must be an early polygraph machine, never seen one that big.
An amazing place, and there seem to be many in the same condition.
I wonder why it was abandoned ? It would be interesting to know if
the water damage occured before or after. Also such a shame that
all some people want to do, is trash these buildings.
4:53 is an autoclave. There sterilise. Surgical Instruments. In it. An sometimes certain wasts. It's like a giant pressure cooker
Norristown State Mental Hospital. Huge complex still has active buildings.
That doesn't look like any places I've seen there
Keep it going guys, fascinating!
Wow crazy explore bro!
It's crazy that all those syringes are left. I had drug addict patients at work that were so desperate would sneak around the floor and steal them off our carts, and take tourniquets the lab staff had used out of the trash cans.
5:17 the circular item is known as an Autoclave, it sterilises and cleans medical equipment. The other one is a kind of medical refrigerator.
That sound proof room was creepy af
At 15, the stick is for nails and cuticles. The next thing looks like an emery board for filing nails. The blue cloths are wash cloths or for drying the face after washing.
Another awesome video my friend. This place was amazing!!
One of these days I'd love to get down there and do a collab with you guys. But who knows, time will tell. And as always, Be safe out there my friend!!
at 16:54 that cool office with the '70's couch.. Thats not a rotary phone... Thats a more modern push button phone. Rotary has the dials....that one has buttons. I remember when they came out.. We were like " WHOA TECHNOLOGY!" when they came out!! hahaha (shit, I thinkI just aged myself. :( (and OMG I want that piano!)
I'm thinking that's alot of wasted electricity.
Good video. Thanks for filming.
1:30 These chairs and eletronics machines are for electroencephalogram.
Patient files found = FAIL! The very least the state could do is send someone out there to gather and properly dispose of those. Caring for and properly disposing of the patient files should be part of the patients continuum of care, period. C'mon man! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures and for the respectful manner in which you treat, document and present these interesting places. No more standing in an inch of water while flipping power switches on and off please. That's a quick way to add some unpleasant shock and excitement to your already interesting explorations!
Good vid agree with your followers on why so much medical equipment was left abandoned especially files and records
