Hello Freaktography. I am so impressed with this video of the hospital I worked in for over 34 years. It is so sad for me and my many coworkers to see our hospital look so abandoned and in disrepair. I wish I could have given you a better tour. Yes, Physio and the therapy pool were very large, but seemed so small when we were working there, filled to the rafters with equipment and patients. The chapel was a very moving space, used for weekly Mass, funerals, celebrations of life, memorials, I hope the stained glass windows will be saved. When you were in the basement, my office was just before the "cool" tunnels you filmed. Our linen room was one that you filmed, imagine taking full linen carts through that tunnel, with overhead pipes that could crack your skull if you were over 5'8"!!! The boiler room (original one not used since the 1970's) always had a fountain coming out of the floor during a massive rain storm!!! Your video and pictures have brought back a lot of fond memories for former hospital staff that are just seeing them for the first time. It was a vibrant, caring, productive, healing place and we all were very sad to leave i. It was our working home, where many of us 'grew up' helping those that needed us. The new hospital doesn't have the same soul. thank you so much for filming 'my workplace' and I can only hope Queen's will do something productive with it. It has been so sad to see it empty for so long. Did any of the resident ghosts say 'hi' to you??? They are there, especially it the Sister's Residence, above the chapel. Fran Cooney
This is really awesome. I am a custodian at the new providence care hospital where they moved to so I never saw the original hospital. They have renovated and reopened the back half of it. Queens university gutted and renovated the front half and have moved in.
It's so weird to have walked into this place the other day and now just seen what it looked like a few years back. The place is now funtional again and is being run by Queen's University and is still used for rehab. There's so much in this place I didn't even know existed thanks to this video.
The car was also to teach paralyzed how to drive without using your feet. And the big handle on the steering wheel is to help teach people with limited movement to drive a car. Great video!
I enjoy your videos very much. Its such a nice change from what is on television these days. One thing I find is just how sad to see these buildings left to rot when there are 1000's of homeless people these buildings could be fitted to house!!! I certainly would rather see these buildings with life in them. Especially buildings as large as that hospital. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these. Your photographs are amazing!!!
Boy oh boy, the university better get in there and claim their property before it is vandalized beyond repair. Such a beautiful old building, thanks for sharing ❤️✌️🇨🇦
Hospitals can be creepy even when they're in use. This was a really nice one. The chapel, windows and doors were beautiful. Another use for the car, aside from the other uses already stated here, could be to help stroke patients use their hands again, like for putting on a seat belt. My husband had occupational therapy after having a stroke a few years ago. A car in our hospital would have been great for him to practice something simple like putting his seat belt on, something I always took for granted. Thanks for this explore.
The car in the old Hospital they Probly used it for physical therapy. To help them learn to get in and out of the car. my mom did it were she is to help her get in and out safely. thank you I enjoy your videos.
Another great video! I am late watching as I have had surgery on both my hands. Now all my favorite u tube videos are keeping me from thinking about the pain .
The car I imagine was designed for patients that needed to rehabilitate their independence for their next chapter of life with out the use of their legs they needed to learn to drive a new form of vehicle.
I always feel weird about a Hospital being Abandoned. I wish that every hospital would be updated and Refurbished, instead of becoming abandoned. Thanks, good job.
@@whereswendy That's good! In the Past, I was in the Hospital for like a Month and 3 Days for surgery and almost died, so I'm glad that they're taking that time.
Dave your videos are so cool i am a new subscriber and HOOKED on your abandoned building videos! you should look into some of the buildings in my area of Ontario (Belleville) or see if you can do a private tour of the Kingston Pen and show us viewers things that dont get seen in the tour when you go in person! thank you SO MUCH for your videos they are really cool!
Beautiful chapel!!! Too bad that the lighting, entrance doors & stained glass & cross can’t be saved😞 Hospitals are notoriously haunted due to all the deaths that are experienced there. Sad that this building couldn’t be repurposed! Thank you for sharing this epic hospital location!
I worked there for 14 years. Great place - so many creepy parts, like the morgue. Sad to see it do empty. It was getting old and patients were moved to a new hospital down the street.
The car is for practicing getting in and out of following surgery or stroke rehab. It is part of rehab therapy. Some hospitals even have mock grocery stores, ATM’s etc.
I am amazed someone actually took the time and effort to remove the hospital furnishings and equipment for the most part. When American hospitals are abandoned it seems "everything" is left behind. Afterall, why bother removing things that could be very valuable resources that could certainly be used in poorer communities. . Who's paying the electric bill? I find it ironic that so many old abandoned places still have utilities on. However, when you live at a place and go a few days late paying they slap a 15.00 late fee or plain out disconnect you. Another unknown regarding abandoned places? We may never know the answer to. Such a shame this place is very suitable to house the homeless, yet there it is just waiting to be taken over by Mother Nature or vandals. Such a waste. Thank you so much for sharing. Great job, as usual. ✌🏼
Hello from Palm Springs! Pretty unique find! When did this place close? Pretty clean still and still has power. No graffiti. Lots to see! Thanks for sharing ❤
Terry Cassidy Queen’s university has purchased it and are doing Reno’s:) it closed in 2017 when they moved to a new location-i worked there for years:)
As a fan of your work, I have to ask you the million-dollar question: out of all the houses you’ve visited, which one would you take? You have to pick one. Maybe make a video of your top ten, narrowing down your all time favorite house to live in.
wow i was a patient here in 2002 the cafeteria n physio room wow i never did go in the pool but i did explore myself the basement is creepy dark dungeon hall ways lol
Neat and also kind of creepy. Best was the chapel and the pool. Never seen that before. Hospitals creep me out. Hope that this one is not going to be demoed. Hope there's a Tim Hortons nearby for you to have a coffee. Hee! Hee! Stay safe Ok.
The car is there for people that are handicapped to practice getting in & out of a car. Loved the secret staircase & the room for the chapel!!! Thank you for letting us experience this with you ❤️
This place is beautiful I am surprised a repo company didn't claim alot of those windows and the cross, benches and lamps shades. They dont make things like this anymore, it's all shit now and cheap. Thanks for sharing

For whatever reason, this was one of my favs of all your videos! Just like exploring empty buildings I guess!? Thanks!! great job!!!
I think that car was for teaching people that is handicap too drive if there missing a leg or legs or paralyzed from the waste down
The car was also to teach paralyzed how to drive without using your feet. And the big handle on the steering wheel is to help teach people with limited movement to drive a car. Great video!

That's the cleanest abandoned hospital i have ever seen!!🤗💜Love from New Jersey

Nice to see the place a worked at❤️ will be nice when Queen’s using it again!

The car was for teaching paralyzed people to transfer into cars from a wheel chair.
Very cool to see this hospital. Thanks for the tour
wow that's the cleanest pool i seen in an abandoned place!!

Looking down from the top of the chapel made my palms tingle! Lol. Great old building, though

Christopher Hodson it is being refurbished for Queens University
@@whereswendy That's good! In the Past, I was in the Hospital for like a Month and 3 Days for surgery and almost died, so I'm glad that they're taking that time.
That was amazing Explorer🤗

I used to be above the chapel (through IT) often as we used it for Rec storage. Weird to see it abandoned!
Beautiful chapel!!! Too bad that the lighting, entrance doors & stained glass & cross can’t be saved😞
Hospitals are notoriously haunted due to all the deaths that are experienced there. Sad that this building couldn’t be repurposed! Thank you for sharing this epic hospital location!
Hi. It was a great ecplore. I'm watching from Iowa. Hope you are doing great.
The chapel is beautiful and serene.
Chapel was my favourite part pool was interesting good video
I love ❤️ watching ur videos!!
Im from Arizona. Take care and stay safe.
Neat hospital. Love the video.
Pretty cooll explore.
I worked there for 14 years. Great place - so many creepy parts, like the morgue. Sad to see it do empty. It was getting old and patients were moved to a new hospital down the street.
I never found the morgue and dammit I looked !!!

I liked that hospital ❤❤❤ stay safe love ya
It’s very clean has it been abandoned for long
No. Maybe 4 years
Any idea why the hospital closed? It seems to have been a great facility.
Kelli Wright they moved to a new location. I worked there for years:)
As a retired nurse, I would have found looking in one of the nurses stations interesting. I live in Alaska but lived most of my life in Michigan.
You are spending a lot of time in the "Limestone city". My mother was in that hospital in 2011.

Thank you for letting us experience this with you ❤️
I use to film lots of videos in that hospital 👌📸🎥.
soon as you saw the car, i knew exactly why, its for the paraplegics to learn how to drive that type of car, or the tiny people
What are they doing with the hospital now? There's still electricity still
This place is beautiful I am surprised a repo company didn't claim alot of those windows and the cross, benches and lamps shades. They dont make things like this anymore, it's all shit now and cheap. Thanks for sharing
I thought they would of cut the electricity off
The electricity is still on because Queen's University bought the property and is renovating it for med-related care.
Angie Does Stuff Thanks. Now that makes sense cause I thought it was abandoned completely 👍
Now it's used for extra space because of covid I used to go here for physio
Extra beds for covid patients I should say
My grandma died there 4 years ago 😔😔😔
👍
What a bloody waste could be used to house people that have no home
Our provincial government is cheap
Dude I would tottotally subscribe to your channel and I just might do that on the condition that you fix your microphone!!

If you do have an impairment please accept my apology, if not maybe use a headset when you do the editing.
I can't sit through any of your videos because of the crappy noise of the microphone.
I like the footage and you do a great job of it, just fix the microphone please.
I'll bet I'm not the only one who complains. Again I'm not knocking your work , just your microphone.

It was my old go pro stick, I've now got a new one that makes no noise but there may be some videos coming still from the old one
He did agood job showing in this hospital 35:57
WHAT ARE THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO DO WITH SOME ABANDONED HOSPITALS?
I love watching your videos but there is something on your camera that makes clanking sounds and is very annoying.
