I'm a psychiatric nurse so these psychiatric hospital videos are so interesting to me. Thank you for investigating these buildings and thank you for blurring the photos of the patients!
Oof. Thats got to be a rough job. Bless you! That has to wear on your own mental health sometimes as well. Thank you for all you do. Its sad to see a huge place like this just sit abandoned when so many ppl could benefit from this type of facility. There still aren't many inpatient hospitals dedicated solely to MH tx. I'm a former ER\Trauma 1 nurse, now Im DON at a dual diagnosis methadone clinic, which means we treat addiction n a limited list of psych issues. The patients with more severe MH issues are required to maintain MH treatment elsewhere but must work in conjunction with our drs. Nurses don't really have to deal with MH part of tx at the clinic though, we are basically dosing n medical (intakes, TB tests, blood draws, urine tests, med management for any additional meds they are taking etc) We only have about 11 counselors, 1 part time psych Dr, 2 med drs n only enough windows for 7 dosing nurses. I say ONLY bc thats for 100s of active patients😮 the counselors really have a thankless job as I imagine psych nurses have as well!
The elevator flashing "IS" means its switched into independent service. That is usually a keyed switch in the elevator car itself.
I would love to see them in action, especially motor room 😢
@@edvukx Yeah would love to see them check out motor rooms more often, but guess a lot of the times they are kept locked.
Yeah I know.
@@redsquirrelftw i luckily got into that field of work and yeah its usually very unintuitive to go in there. and only traction over head operating elevator have mechanic room on top.
Seeing that mural of 9-11-01, peeling off a wall, was kind of a shock. Still seems like yesterday, for me.
Damn, I'm getting old!🤣
That was a mural from long BEFORE 9/11. Some twit drew in the plane later. I bet they painted over the mural before 9/11 even happened, but definitely after.
@@jfbeam That's a possibility, yeah. Why are you so positive, though?
@@BilisNegraI can say with very strong confidence that they wouldn't let mental patients have a mural like that after the fact. It's demoralizing
edit:
After thinking a little bit more about it I think it is *possible* they allowed it to help patients cope with the trauma I'd have to see the rest of the mural to know. But I still think it would be more traumatizing than helpful to mental patients and I stick with my original comment even after making this possible allowance.
After looking at that plane. That was NOT drawn after it happened. It was there way before.
One thing I always think about when considering places like this are the people where were locked up there for telling the truth. People who were thought to be just "nuts" but really weren't. Food for though.
Also, depictions of planes flying into those specific towers ave been around in imagery on US currency and in artist renderings well before the event.
It is sad to think that aspects of our own government committed this atrocity to build support for a useless war all over oil and some dictators decision half a world around to say they wouldn't accept us dollars for their oil. FU BUSH.
@@jfbeam You doubt, not you bet.
17:11 the conductometer was used to remove static electricity from operating room staff back when anesthetic agents were highly flammable
Deuteronomy 11:16 KJV
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
2 Timothy 3:13 KJV
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
lets analyse the lies through which are we daily deceived:
lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.)
lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
lie: voting matters (fact: politic propaganda)
lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide, it should be not loved, only used as needed.)
lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE and 2 members expose their own lies, one is still alive, the other (Wernher Von Braun) place a clear clue on his own gravestone) - you havn´t searched - have you?
lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal - Georgia Guidestones! - who said it be worthy to forget?)
lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid?
Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)
lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge)
lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage)
lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?)
Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that)
lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV)
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.)
to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers.
lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government)
lie: TV watching is of use (fact: television (TV) = tell a lie vision, a weapon for our minds, keeping it under MK ULTRA)
half lie/half truth: earth is a stage where everyone plays rolls (fact: earth is stage, a freemasonry checkerboard, where both side, black and white are masons and humans both in politics and regular souls = the naive public gets daily played)
lie: children are government to raise (fact: children are parents to raise, it takes 2 to make them, it takes 2 to raise them).
Lie: we live already in the matrix (fact: we live since birth in BABYLON which is to become “matrix” as Man - us, must merge with machine aka take the mark of the beast and then matrix aka false reality becomes to be 100%)
lie: humans are not intelligent enough (fact: it is forgotten fact, we all are intelligent, many have suffered the illness from this world, being indoctrinated by masons, cause who give us the school system which we have? masons did, because they need slaves).
Lie: love is low standard and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means>
John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more)
lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will)
lie: BIBLE is man written and a fairytale (fact: BIBLE is written by GOD, through man, bible is not fairytale.
BIBLE IS:
BASIC
INFORMATION/instruction
BEFORE
LEAVING
EARTH
= BIBLE. A book - yes, book which we all need as it is only one filled with information and instructions we all need for life on earth.
Lie: Miss beauty contests around the world is about beauty of FEMALES (fact: these contests are about beauty of MALES IN DRAG)
lie: Medical “virus” known as COVID 19 (facts: real VIRUSES are in Hollywood and kept secret:
- THE TTM virus = being tare, trans, mason.
Lie: There is no truth, no right nor wrong and all is allowed as long as you are happy. (fact: truth is easy to find, search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY and expose masons in masonry).
28 lies, should i go on?
Bronx State Hospital? Wow...I forgot that place was still standing. I thought for sure they would've demolished it. I used to work EMS around there. We would sit in the parking lot at night in between calls and just stare at the place. It was creepy as hell. I contemplated trying to sneak in at times, but I didn't want to get caught and lose my job lol
Sneak in now 🤔
@@sarahw7616 I might've considered it if I still lived around there. I moved 2 years ago :(
Im from the Bronx and wannamake a video are they're any windows or openings?@@danc3488
I bet you used to park by the fields or power plant, Montefiore I gather? so you know besides NYPD you'll have the MTA cops hanging out there as well.
they probably didn't demolish it because someone either still owns it, or the city can't get permissions to demolish it
I love the backstory that's always given. Gives much more meaning to exploration than "ooOooOoo this place is hAAaUnted." Makes the reality of the pasts of these areas so much more impactful.
Can't imagine how this place managed to stay open at all. I was in a crisis ward (suicide/homicide unit) with 12 patients and 4 staffers. Several were violent, fresh out of prison and/or homeless. Both males and females. They would be discharged to no where if they happened to be homeless. This had to be absolute hell to endure.
11:11 that must be old, because the emergency contact Gaston L. Pellori died in 1999 apparently. I love these videos because you can go down rabbit holes on information and really find a human element to these abandoned places. Great content as always
Entire careers and lives. Finding those links are like windows into other people's existence. Very cool.
Made with old dot matrix printer
You can learn so much, just by researching the names that comes up in videos like this, on papers, notice boards and office doors. I do it too.
One of the main reasons I follow these guys is to look up people and whatever sorts of equipment that may have been left behind; serial numbers can be another interesting rabbit hole.
I'm finding a bunch of similar sheets like this that are structured the exact same, but with different substances. So interesting
As a former employee (38 years) of a major metropolitan hospital, I always try to remember and think about all the patients that came to my hospital and got WELL. Many, many people enter these institutions and actually leave in good health, or at least much better. It's definitely NOT all doom and gloom, and sad and tragic outcomes. Thanks, guys, for another awesome Urbex presentation!!!!
I agree. As someone who has been in psychiatric hospitalization twice, once for 96 hours and once for a week, and who suffers from bipolar 1 disorder, PTSD from abuse, and neurodivergent with ADHD and autism, thank you and those like you throughout the years in centuries for what you have done to make a patient's life a bit better. Back around Christmas of 2017, on the heels of my own complete PTSD triggered breakdown and right after my hospitalization, I had to make the horribly painful decision to have my own father hospitalized for his severe depression and suicide attempt after he and my stepmother separated. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my 48 years and I am still persona non grata for some of my father's Cuban family for having to do it and in their words shame the family. But almost 7 years later, my dad is stronger than ever. He and I share the same diagnosis of bipolar one, autism and ADHD, and after our hospitalizations we are both receiving regular Outpatient Care in the form of therapy and psych meds which have helped to change our quality of life.
@@MargaritaPulgar-vj1fn Good for you, and your dad!!!! So glad you both are doing much better and continue to get better in the future. Best wishes from Oklahoma.
Hospitals and Schools are always an instant favorite for me!
Same
The schools and any abandoned places that involved kids just makes me sad.
Proper People and Bright Sun Films uploading within 10 minutes of each other!? It’s a good day! 😁
Ditto! I’ve never clicked so fast! We got a two-fer today! 👏🏼
A double feature
How did I not know about bright sun, I have no clue. Thanks.
And both about abandoned buildings in NYC… what are the odds ????
My favorite way to spend a night after a LONG work week.
I was in a pediatric psychiatric hospital in 1992. The "quiet" room is an isolation room for kids who are acting out, so they can calm down without hurting themselves or others. So sad to see the drawings and sayings on the walls.
I like how children wrote the positive phrases so they were more likely to read them. It was like a quiet room for contemplation and to calm down and learn to settle their mind or emotions.
I'm always amazed just how much energy is wasted in these large empty buildings, the size of a small town. To think there's a Power Station operating to provide that electricity that serves no purpose. Does someone pay a bill for it or does the utility company keep providing power to a large consumer who doesn't ever pay? Maybe the cost is just absorbed by the tax payer or the loss is spread across all other customers, pushing the cost per kWh up. So many questions.
It's paid for by the taxpayers so nobody cares. This is what people mean when they say the government is wasteful. They have no incentive to save. This is why conservatives are against government "programs", because they have no incentive to actually accomplish anything. In fact, they have incentives to NOT work so they can renew funding.
The bill is given out to all citizens... sadly. Including business you visit... basically extra few pennies for every item in town, eventually adds up..
We the people pay the bill, many places have power left on around country to the tune of tens of millions a dollar. Just look at how many street lights never turn off. They tell us to get low wattage lights and save. What a joke.
Maybe same kind of reason it became abandoned in the first place. A government program with good intentions but unforeseen consequences.
The reason they leave the power on is to run critical systems like fire alarms and HVAC and whatnot. If you turn off the systems for an extended period of time then the building will start to Decay at a much faster rate. Most likely there is someone still tasked with maintaining the building and the property owner or operator is still paying the electricity bill.
I really respect you guys because I grow tired of the TH-camrs that simply go to abandoned buildings and try to make them seem haunted for views. With your channel, I can actually appreciate these abandoned places! Oh, and I also appreciate you guys not vandalizing anything! ❤️
intro music still gives me chills after hearing it like 100+ times it always hits
I know! I love it !
27:07 Ellen Greene, who is listed on this board, wrote a book about psychiatry in 2018 and the author bio said she had been in private practice in upstate new york for 15 years. To me that shows this floor has probably been disused since the early 2000's.
Although this isn't exactly an art deco masterpiece like places you have been before, it's so great that you are documenting this stuff forever. There are just so many memories within those walls I am sure, it's better that we at least get a glimpse of how people lived so many hours of their lives. The record player system is a perfect example, just how many hours and hours of music was played in that indoor pool to who knows how many people (and how many are still alive that heard it?).
I think the elevator flashing IS means its in independent service mode. Somewhere a tech left a key in a call station (hall button) or Car Operating Panel (buttons inside the car). Sometimes they'll do that to prevent someone from turning the elevator sytem on and running it in those situations. Fire mode will usually park the car at the first floor with the doors open or another floor depending on what phase its in. Be safe in your adventures!
Beat me to it lol
Good to know just in case i ever end up in a Die Hard nakatomi plaza type situation 🤔🥷🏿
The products in the Homeless Services bag were the same brands they used in the community hospital where I was a frequent patient as a kid. I could practically smell each one as it came onscreen.
"Homeless" is an interesting description. Intentionally vague, I'd say. Most "homeless" have no interest in owning, much less maintaining, a proper domicile. Their class of people used to reside in boarding houses, which are now illegal to operate thanks to changes to the law made in the name of the same "homeless" people.
@@SanchoPanza-m8m My mother worked with homeless people for years. They came to be homeless from a very wide variety of circumstances, and had a wide variety of interests and needs.
@@SanchoPanza-m8m I'm too young to remember boarding houses but I believe you. My theory is that homeless are a "feature" to both parties of politicians. The liberal uses them as "human shields" (like Hamas) and says "cut these programs and this problem will be 10x worse, and vote Republican and these people will die", the Republicans look at homeless and say "your liberal policies created this, they have no opportunity to work because you over regulated the free market"
Boarding houses would go a long way to actually helping. I agree.
The Quiet room having “if you’re so smart why are you here” written feels lowkey evil
Very lowkey evil
I bet you half of what's written on the walls are written by in-patients as a form of therapy. The message is their revenge.
rather be killed then be in there more than 24 hours
I agree. My mother is super smart so is my father and myself included. And my mom once said "The more you understand the sadder you are" because of understand the world and it's problems and know how you fix them. But can't it makes you miserable 😢
@@Z33_Cowboy So True, well said.
the price of asbestos removal is what keeps these places standing
Similarly,NYC subway stations
Interesting! Yeah surprised it hasn’t been developed yet
There'll always be Christmas decorations and a chair just chilling.
Always in the middle of a room, such an eerie feeling! I always think of how it got put there/left there or who was the last person to sit in it. I found that stuff so fascinating!
39:54 “check for the morgue” in complete unison is so funny oml
".. reserved for disturbed patients that needed more safety and a higher level of security"
- Shows example with a flock of geese milling about - I very much agree.
So many TH-camrs are OTT in ya face, love the chilled aspect to this channel.
I remember 'zip the lip' from way back when I was a kid. It basically meant 'no backtalk' when someone was trying to talk to you. Never worked on me, either.
In my humble opinion the fact that a lot of the equipment is old/ original shows a lack of funding for upgrades hence why it was overcrowded and closed down
Just outside of Columbia SC there is an abandoned criminal mental health facility right next to an aging active facility. The whole site was built throughout the 40s with the new facility being built in the early 80s. Idk the security or if you can get in at all but it would be cool to see what’s left
Morgues in hospitals are almost always located on the ground floor, or maybe one level below near a service elevator. And usually near service corridors and a service entrance that the public has no access to. This is to allow the funeral home vans to get a quick in-n-out without drawing attention. Jefferson Hospital in Philly has a few back-door exits like these. Kennedy Hospital (now part of Jefferson) in Cherry Hill, NJ has their morgue located right next to the basement maintenance offices, with an unmarked back door one floor up. The entrance has a lot of ultraviolet sanitizing lamps at the doors. Lots of NO SMOKING OR FOOD ALLOWED AT ANY TIME! signs are a giveaway. The Organ Donor Center in Philly has a three-bay garage around the back, with a card-key controlled gate, for incoming / outgoing. I've seen the old freezers at the old Metropolitan Hospital in Philly (now a condo building). It's in the sub-basement storage next to the underside of the swimming pool! No one wants to "advertise" how the cadavers come and go. Can you blame them?....
That must have been a grim place to be hospitalized in 😞
Seeing the slogan "zip the lip" in the counseling room was unsettling.
Pretty much ANY mental hospital is. Lol
At least, at one time there were places like this to help people. Now they are living under tarps on our streets.
@@alanbeckham9093"Help" is questionable. We definitely need to bring psych facilities back but they also need some serious reform from the way they used to be operated.
@@shannonrickard8605 Sorry. I need to learn to keep quiet. Thanks.
One of the best hospitals!! Gonna be rewatching this for years to come
I watch and subscribed to your channel too your content is awesome as well both channels do a fantastic job
I had to do a double take when I saw you! Super exciting to see both of my favorite abandoned exploration channels exploring together!
U weird dude...
Always careful u don't get locked in or out...
"You really wonder why they don't cut the power in here."
I wonder that about ALL the buildings in these videos.
because people/counties/states own them, and pay for the utilites
If I’m also correct, I think they have a cell tower or something on the top of the building. So they still need the power to operate the cell tower
Working at the pharmacy in a NYC hospital, the pharmacy was pretty interesting. Kinda looks like the pharmacy at the psychiatric hospital campus. The room in the pharmacy with the vault door is the narcotics room.
Ive been subbed to you for years and i love how you guys are respectful and you dont vandalize anything. ❤❤
I was expecting to see Nurse Ratched in the staff lists on the whiteboard. Creepy place on so many levels, imagine if the walls could talk. Institutions like this where I live were all closed down in the 90's. These days the mentally ill are integrated into the community and controlled with drugs. The padded cell rooms are now at normal schools.
A lot of mental hospitals were closed in the 80s by that "wonderful" president, Ronnie Reagan! Such a great idea to close them all and let the mentally ill patients out to roam the streets! 🙄
and by looking at the homeless population, this program isn't working out well.
@@theirmom4723 Exactly. The closing of these places led to a lot of the homeless population. Very sad.
It'd be too expensive and require too much work and thought@@theirmom4723
@@GLING17 there have been 5 terms of democrats in office since who all could have re-opened these facilities. But by your logic, they clearly don't care either.
The reason these places are closed is because it's unconstitutional to detain people who haven't committed a crime or aren't a danger. Being sick is not a cause for arrest or detention. I'm sorry it bothers you to see sick people. Maybe you should do more to help them besides post online?
Hands down best urbex explorers on TH-cam
Supposedly....
All those pastel colors & walls are calming colors.
I had to ask my nurse friends. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
But I thought it was just those colors of that decade🤣😂
Every place you both go just leaves me in awe, thank you for exploring with such intentionality!😊
Your right about the castle lights being original late 60s, the sterilizer also. Those old looking bug eye lights were battery powered task lights for an emergency if both power and backup gen failed. The conduct o meter was actually to test the integrity of the flooring and the potential to make static electricity sparks because anesthesia was flammable in those days. The OR probably has isolated power also to reduce potential for sparks. The fire alarm system was post 2000 and very expensive, seems like a big investment just before closing. Looks like the top two floors were abated. The upper floor had the hard ceiling demod out, maybe to abate asbestos or maybe to begin installing fire sprinklers as they are soon to be required in existing healthcare by cms. Kind of like they were planning to do work and keep using the building or and started but gave up. 44:13, 48:21, 48:35, 50:37 tritium exit signs were added, very recent and very expensive, they added them for something specific because they were required to, quickly by some AHJ or fire marshal or something, otherwise they would have run wire and used normal electric signs w battery backup for much cheaper. Maybe even added after building partly abandoned and deenergized and couldn't get an electric permit. I can't imagine tritium Exit signs on a locked psych unit while it was in use. Very strange. Paint not peeling as bad in that part, heat hasn't been off as long.
You guys and Camping with Steve are the only TH-camrs I will actually sit and wait for to upload their next video. I’m about to sit back and put this video on. Or should I say documentary?!! 53 minutes is absolutely awesome!!!!!!! Keep up the fire work and stay safe!
Mr. nightmare too, can’t forget about him either 💪
Steve Wallis is great
I do enjoy these psychiatric ones having spent some time in the older ones. Kinda nostalgic in a weird way. Spend a year in one of these and you'll make friends and memories. All kinds of memories
I watched "girl interrupted" recently as well as "28 days" and that's what it seemed like.
Goddamn, my uncle was here for a number of years. My father and I would visit him almost every weekend.
@supreme.wizard.fillum My Uncle Miguel jumped from mental hospital to mental hospital around New York State. He was at Pilgrim Psychiatric too. At one point, he was situated at this one hospital in Staten Island. He escaped the facility and was running around the city. All of this was before a huge snowstorm, mind you. To top it off, he was diabetic and not taking his insulin. When he was found he was frostbitten with pneumonia and on the brink of death. Sadly, he passed away.
@supreme.wizard.fillum Thank you so much. It showcased to me the negligence and ineptitude of the mental health system in NYC.
So sorry for your loss may he RIP 🙏 I worked in hospital it's a shame how things go short staff secure. Etc glad Ian retired
Your channel is a ray of sunshine on the internet.
This place is gigantic! Such a shame all of it just sits there unused..
It could house so many homeless people, covid put so many people on the streets 😢
@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesus1 how about NO! I am an Athiest!!!! I do not believe! Get off my thread
@pat_riot_2024 you people!? Calm down Karen, these people were tax payers too wen Covid hit! They lost everything, see compassion isn't in your vocabulary.
@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesus1 dawgg im christian and saying this randomly on a youtube comment is ridiculous
I'm pretty sure it's very much still in use...just for the underground. Torture programs.
@35:40 as a correctional officer I can attest to the tape on the weights to save shitty ass tile flooring in an older hospital/jail
That pill you found was commonly used for treating tremors.
Tremors induced by antipsychotic medications, i.e., tardive dyskinesia.
Thorzine shuffle
I delivered food to this place back in the 90s I still live in the area awesome to see you guys in there it’s very interesting to see inside an abandoned building I drive by every day
Boy, this thing needs to be revamped, restaffed, and reopened. Mental health is a real problem in the US today.
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking. So criminal to leave such a vast facility to rot.
Proper People and Dark Exploration are by far my favorite urbex channels
Same, I watch Dark exploration all the time.
If I was homeless , I'd get off the streets , during the winter months , in here.
That's no longer an option. I think these guys called it in and that's wy the power was subsequently cut off.
At best, it'd get you out of the rain and wind. There's no heat in there. (plugging in space heaters would likely pop breakers and/or start fires.)
@@jfbeamit's still better to be in there than outside don't forget the wind also makes it even colder
Is there so anal about not taking anything why would they snitch to the power company that's sick@@CyberDocUSA
@@jfbeamit depends on how many heaters you say pop breakers hang on here a minute that's only for overload
I absolutely love you guys's channel. You're the ones that got me into originally liking abandoned videos. You're the only ones that stay true to the to the subject
I couldn't agree more. Proper People got me hooked on abandoned buildings videos
Damn I wanted to see those C9 Christmas lights plugged in and working
i like those vintage bulbs ! it would have been cool -unless its like al bundys house and only 1 lights up !
I used to work for Gold Medal Safety Padding and we installed padded rooms, one of two companies in the nation. Looks like one we would have installed.
@cody: Thanks! We used to have T.O. rooms until the MN “245D” issue was both litigated and legislated…
Some of our room walls used re-purposed gymnasium floor mats, but we also had a company install better quality padding; maybe it was your employer!
We used a few Humane Restraint cuffs and padded mitts also, though not in conjunction with Time Out.
Most people have never seen a need for the equipment and tools of my former occupation of almost 45 years; but then again, most people don’t know the troubles of truly troubled human beings…
This would have made a great job to guess in the old tv show, What’s My Line?
Would you have screamed if those elevator doors would have opened? Cause I would have screamed, in my living room. 😂😂😂
Power is probably still on to keep the fire alarm system active.
Pretty sure these guys reported it and had the power turned off.
How do you know that?@@CyberDocUSA
Probably also deters metal salvagers from stripping the copper wire out.
@@CyberDocUSAthey can keep their mouths shut about stuff like that
@@RonaldDaub-xi5jz yeah, didn't say I agreed with their decision. I would have kept quiet.
Going on vacation in 2 days this video makes my excitement even higher! Great work guys! Love hospital videos my favourite kind!
You guys are so awesome. Every time I watch one of your videos, it takes about two hours to come back to reality because the content is so immersive.
The quiet room is like a "time out " For psy patients.
Makes sense. Probably a grounding and quieting place for any of em that have hallucinations
Where they can Gangnam in solitude?
I love how you synchronize yourselves at 39:56. It's so cool! Love your videos guys!
It's good they opened a new location, but that should've been in _addition_ to this one.
Such a severe shortage of people getting the treatment they need, judging by the mental state of so many today.
as someone who has been homeless, it gets to me when I see buildings like this that can be repurposed, nobody wants to live there, so why not sell it to the city and renovate places like this
Because bums can't appreciate a good thing. First they demand that it be free, and then they wreck the place because they can't perceive its value, or because they resent taking charity.
It's a case of these buildings costing too much money to renovate. Most of the buildings will need extensive mold/water damage fixed and may not even be completely structurally sound. Unfortunately it's not as easy to do as it seems like it might be.
@@andyk192 this was a for instance, there's thousands of buildings that can be renovated, I guarantee you some vulture capitalist has already looked into this rent out each room for a thousand bucks, they are actually buying up trailer houses
@@SanchoPanza-m8m as a former "bum" I can say you are partly right, you need to realize if you feel no one gives a shit about you, why give a shit about yourself, homelessness is a spectrum, I for one bathed regularly, you are aware how high the rent is yes?
Who pays the utility bill for electricity?
Just want to say that your content has been hugely inspirational to me and my spouse. The beautiful cinematography and music is equally matched by your passion and devotion to properly documenting and preserving these amazing relics of the past. My jaw is constantly on the floor every time I watch one of your videos; thank you so much.
If you like beautiful cinematography try Destination Adventure. He lives in Canada and shows beautiful scenery with abandoned stuff. He's a little different from most urbex explorers but you'll love him!!
@@tracyb8193 I will check them out, thank you for the recommendation!
Please do more malls or stores if you can, those are my favorite videos.
They just finished riding down Fiesta mall in mesa Arizona, superstition mall is probaly next.
24:03 a keychain that says "The Montauk Project"?! Did you find that there? If so, someone that worked there had a sense of humor.
A lot of people from the Bronx went to LI.
It is such a relief to see that you guys leave only footprints. Seeing this shows you honor your parents by using the respect that your parents and elders instilled upon you!
The way you tell the history of the installations with the amount of respect you show for each property, please know you are teaching the newer generation a very valuable life skill and for that, I thank you. I look forward to your next tour!
14:24 13 IS
13 IS
13 IS
13 IS what?! Stop leaving me in suspense!
as others have stated IS stood for Independent Service so basically it was locked at the 13th floor
Th3 Radio reaction of The Thing that you pick up earlier. It definitely brings back the 1950 Vibes.
We need this place today, more than ever.
Agree. House a lot of homeless people.
Why the hell aren't we housing "refugees" and illegals in these places instead of hotels?
@@Itsaboutthewaterlifeand illegal immigrants
Watching some of these give me the creeps. I’m glad you guys are brave and can show us these spots from our couches lol thanks for the awesome videos! You two stay safe out there.
Dark exploration, Devon is always a plus when it comes to an explore
I took this walk with you guys. It brought back a lot of memories for me when I was in the Army in 1970's. We had a Psychiatric building at the original Walter Reed Medical Center. It was right behind the main building that still graces Walter Reed and the circular drive in front. While you guys were looking I didn't see any of the Shock treatment rooms. I remember that room vividly. Stay safe in your ventures and what a glimpse into my past you gave me!
I live near Pittsburgh and there is an abandoned long distance land line tower built in 1965 the building has three floors and 21,000 ft.² the basement walls are 16 inch thick concrete walls. I was told it was a cold war bunker of sorts for communications against the Russians, I would love to show you guys the place, I know the place like the back of my hand it was abandoned in 2012 and has most of the stuff that was originally there still there
this would be amazing for them to explore
@@maddyhill3418 I know
AT&T long lines facility
@@daveh2612 yea
"Unless they're trying to surround us" is the level of paranoia I'd feel on any of these excursions.
I’m so happy you guys are starting to post vidoes semi regularly again I love all your guy’s work ! Keep it up !!
Great vid guys, greetings from the Netherlands!
Much Love from Cleveland Ohio ❤
Love these asylum/hospital videos! So interesting!! Thanks guys!!
finally some good sit back content today
Guys, I grew up in the 1970's, that place looks to be early 1970's through mid to late 70's. Standard Institutional Drab style. Huge Place...
Yeah, very 70s with all the colors.
28:53 that poem about control is powerful and beautiful, bless 🙏 them.
13:04 looked up this med: Benztropine is used with other medicines to treat Parkinson's disease. By improving muscle control and reducing stiffness, this medicine allows more normal movements of the body as the disease symptoms are reduced.
“IS 13” means that the elevator is on “Independent Service” mode, meaning only an operator with a compatible key can use the elevator. It’s similar to “fire recall” mode, except it’s basically more just normal operation with a key.
That last remaining drug in the pharmacy was Benztropine. It is commonly prescribed to treat certain side effects (dystonia, akathesia - basically involuntary movements) of the antipsychotic medications which are used in treating Schizophrenia
The elevator is waiting on floor 13 and is flashing IS; which stands for individual service.
"Sorry for the crudity of the plane, I didn't have time to draw it to scale."
One thing electricity scares is people trying to the steal wire. Same with water and copper pipes
I like how the video ended right at 53: *13.* Well I enjoyed this *13* floor hospital video.
The Conductometer was used to check conductivity of operating room floors, equipment and the shoes of personnel as part of protocols that were followed to prevent the occurrence of electrostatic sparks in operating rooms
I remember coming home from work in the evening and setting down to eat while watching this channel. I love you guys
Always look forward to when you release new content!! ❤
Good to see a Proper People/Dark Exploration team up! Two great channels. It's not really his beat but it'd be cool if you all could team up with Kappy sometime (he's more of an abandoned house guy than sprawling facilities).
Me: this is amazing, I wonder if they got permission
47 mins in: 👀👀👀👀
Power is often left on in these abandoned buildings in case emergency services like fire need access , instead of them stumbling around in the dark in an unfamiliar building. Often the power is paid for by the previous owner as its cheaper than what it would cost to remove all the asbestos and level it . Or so I have been told many years ago.
These places were horrible
At night you had 1 orderly for 3 floors or more.
I once saw one 6 story building with 2 people for 240 patients
If someone didn't show up you had the entire place to yourself.
In the sub sub basement should be the fallout shelter and emergency communication command center
All these buildings built in the 60s we had emergency communication bunkers with 2 way radios for each agency, EM, Med, NYSP, County, Fed, state government
Some of the radios were there and some just had the antenna connection with pigtails and adapters.
We were told to have a VHF 1/4 wave centered at 170 mhz for the government and a 1/4 wave centered at 400 mhz
Most of the radios were crystals and they had 110.9 for the CTCSS and there was a switch to deactivate CTCSS
We had a talk around frequency for the whole state
I love the quiet rooms teaching vengeance instead of therapy
You have the perfect combination of psychiatric and technical knowledge. The mark of a true genius!
Very interesting! Spent time in a psych ward as an adolescent. Great documentation covered all the bases.
25:51 those are some nice shots! the music fits well too
"Where dem hose at?"😂
New York needs this place, now more than ever.
For the Trump Family ? 😂😂
@@MrBrucemc2 LOL
Another awesome explore. I love these old abandoned hospitals....really creepy, a bit sad but really cool. Thanks!
Well I got another hospital I want to tell you it's called Glades General Hospital
13:05 - the pill you found is a anticholinergics (blocks certain chemical in the body) Parkinson anti-tremor medication
Auditorium color vibe is def late 70s early 80s for sure, I can picture people in there with bellbottoms and sweater vests lol and those frilly shirts like Austin powers 😂
Bell bottoms in the early 80s, haha!
I can't believe it isn't full of squatters and homeless. Would be a prefect spot. Get some space heaters etc.
