I did a lot of research on the hospital when I was stationed in Maryland in the early 2000's. I have a map and a small pamphlet of the history from the Glen Dale historical society. The morgues are located in both the children's hospital (small building) and the adult hospital ( largest building) across the street.
The morgue in the adult hospital is located I believe at the rear on the first floor inside the attached smaller structure facing the parking lot. I think the one in the children's hospital is located in the basement.
The buildings you were in that had the fireplaces were the nurse's quarters. The first one you were in was McCarran Hall which housed the nurses for the adult patients and the portico connected it to Capper Hall which housed the children's nurses. The reason for these living areas was because of the times the hospital was built- The Great Depression. Because of economics, fewer people had the bucks to afford their own cars, especially young nurses. So it made better sense for the hospital's mission to house most staff including doctors on site. Of course, today, even teenagers own cars and can commute to work. The quarters were interestingly, named after two senators McCarran and Capper who were passionate about the public especially children during the TB outbreak, so much so that they pushed forward government spending on these hospitals called sanatoriums. Sen Capper and his wife could have no children. So, he felt especially for these children of D.C. poor like they were his own. This particular hospital would take in children and later adults, who would otherwise not be able to afford treatment free of charge and no paying patients would be admitted until there were no other non-paying patients waiting for admission.
I ripped a very heavy fire alarm out of the wall circa 1995. It's pretty cool
THANK YOU so very much for doing an explore here, its been over 30 years since ive explored it. brought back so many memories!
If you go to the basement you’ll usually hear footsteps following along with you and there’s some spirit that likes to touch people on the shoulders
You'll like this one then lol th-cam.com/video/Kg69ZmLv4-M/w-d-xo.html twice followed in this video
My buddy got scratched by a spirit here on his back there was 4 scratches down his back like someone scratched him, he said he felt a hot burning sensation on his back when it happened, didn’t bump into anything was just walking.
Nice video, went to this hospital back in 2020 with a group of friends. When we stepped foot into the morgue it became cold as ice and we all said hell no as we didn't want to know what we were getting ourselves into.
Went here last night. The children’s hospital is eerie dude. Vultures and smelled like dead meat. The stairs are all worn out.
make sure to visit the big building. the basement was scary. seeing how much damage there is to it now vs how it was 30 years ago is astonishing. there used to be a trail, behind the big building from the road behind it.
I went there as a teenager at night! Awesome you got to explore so much of this during the day. My friends went back and got caught; they got in quite a bit of trouble
Yea noticed a bunch of other people getting 'caught' so luckily did not have any issues. Glad could share some of it for you.
My dad was the chief boiler engineer there from 66 to 81 he died in 05 from asbestos in his lungs from that place. My dads office up those steps in the boiler room. Use to go to work with him at night and we would sleep on the floor in our sleeping bags, good memories.
Sorry to hear that! There was a lot I never saw or got to due to the stair cases being in such bad shape I wasn't going to risk it, plus most likely lower level may have been flooded.
Used to go in there all the time. Lots of buildings to explore. Tunnels connect each building, even the doctors and nurses residences. Of course those tunnels could be quite flooded by now. We used to go there when the power was still on.
One time a few buddies and I decided to go there years after just to see it again, right before the Secret Service decided to do training there. We encountered a black security guard who drew his gun on us. We explained to him what we were doing and he actually tagged along with us because he was a bit scared to go in, but wanted to see what it was like. We had a great time for a few hours and we were also happy to have a gun with us.
I would venture to guess it's in way worse condition now then back in the early 90's. Be very careful and I wouldn't suggest a roof visit unless you know what you are doing.
My sister and I went just a month ago and we climbed up to the roof using the stairs in the adult building. The stairs were steel and were surprisingly very stable, as was the roof itself. No holes, no shaking.
Lol, forgot to add...we had bats pelting our teams heads constantly down the long corridors of the children's building. Good times. I see you like to explore just like our adventurous team. Glad you enjoyed the exploration. Wish we had more paranormal experiences during our 3 investigations though. Our tech/devices did have some activity in the children's auditorium and morgue though. But those stairwells....omg
What’s up Ben great vid I’ll have to explore this place
Thanks for the comment, watched some of your stuff too. Will be back up in the NY area later this year, maybe we could colab on a location (I have 20-30 picked out already). Hit me on Twitter if you want @XploringWithBen
I grew up in the division down the road from this hospital. So I got to see what it was like before the hospital was closed down. They've tried to do different things with this property since then but to date nothing has really worked out. Likely due to the cost of removing all those asbestos.
What is this "thing" you were looking for? You were going to insert a picture but your video kind of closes abruptly.
Me and my friends went in here a few times but only went in the big hospital once. Me and a few others would feel very cold randomly, nothing really "paranormal". Had to run because of security though. I wish more people would make content about this place because it's quite interesting. Cool video.
Appreciate it. And yea the cold spot I got, not calling it paranormal, but definitely was interesting as I was really warm from a video had done earlier that afternoon.
Glendale is a fun spot to explore. I use to live up the street in Bowie and snuck in by the morgue back in 2018. Went up a few floors by myself but dipped out after hearing a bang on the wall next to me. 😂
(Future reference: the morgue is in the big building that's right next to the bike trail: the Washington/Baltimore/Annapolis Bike trail. Just sneak in through the bushes but be careful cause there's cameras in the entryway).
Yea I didn't get over there before unfortunately, seemed kind of out in the open for my liking hah but figured that was where it would have been, Oh well.
@@ExploringWithBenandSam lol deadass. It's close to where the security drives around so you gotta literally run and duck in bushes lmao. There's also the 'Theater Room' and the basement where the 'Goatman' ( local legend) lives at. Happy it's still there though. Moved away and heard they were gonna tear it down. This and the abandoned Forest Haven asylum in Laurel, MD are great local spots for urban exploration. Happy you stayed safe bro.
BTW, the trailer in front of the biggest building is a work trailer alright- for the Park Police, who regularly hand out tickets to trespassers, so beware!
My great aunt died in this hospital in 1940. It's very interesting to see it inside.
Is an interesting place. Unfortunate so much of it is in the state it is in because would have spent a lot more time looking around.
No way
Heard there’s unmarked graves all along the property. I remember one of the times I went w a bunch of friends security came, so we all book and start running through the field by the well or whatever that is and me and my friend that was running with me, we fell into a hole that was grave sized.. the ground gave in and we fell like 3ft down lol fucked us up after running full speed. Good to know there’s no more security was always a bitch tryna avoid them back in the day. Another place that’s super cool that’s relatively in the same area is forest haven, it’s an insane asylum and the property is HUGE there’s like 20 buildings on the property, only thing is it’s super hard to find a spot to park without having to walk like a mile just to get there. Been countless times super cool man gotta check it out if you haven’t already. Used to have a lot of good times exploring those two places. We’d always stuff 2 cars full of friends and go, stop and take smoke breaks, meet other people exploring.. so many stories lol.
Seriously no security dude?
@@crazymike7599 that’s what some people were saying in the comments, last time I went there was still security. This was 2019.
Pulled in this place last summer on accident looking for a smoke spot and immediately left when i saw a group of vultures eating a carcass. Really bad vibes.
@@crazymike7599most of the time security is a no show around there as far as i have seen
@@Castrorobot97 yeah man place has a pretty dark history to it. A lot of deaths at this place.
I went there but couldn’t find a good non suspicious place to park so I ended up driving o to the hospital grounds and parking behind a building. Anyone know a good place to park around there?
I’m literally at my friends house rn and she lives near there
If I recall correctly the morgue is in the adult building behind the park police trailer. Only way there without being caught is if the tunnels are clear
Possibly. I avoided that side as it just felt too "open", but yea the buildings I went into the stairs were all fucked and it seemed flooded downstairs also.
Or park in that neighborhood beside it
@@Ah-yh4tp we used to park in the lot across the street by the pond w the bridge.
Been going there and doing investigations there for years.out of all the places I've been glendale is one of the best places to go,besides heneryton
How do I get in without getting caught by security
sucks hentryton was demolished though
Omg...ive been looking for years for videos in the daylight of this place...I went at night about 16 years ago in children's and the nurses quarters, back when people didn't video places like this, no equipment and one flashlight...most dilapidated place ever...we didn't last 5 min in either building because of stuff that happened ...we literally had to crawl on the ground to get into the children's because it was all boarded up then and someone ripped the bottom 2 feet of one entrance...it was straight out of a horror movie....we would have been arrested/ticketed back then if we walked around in daylight like you guys, police were stationed right there...I cant believe how dumb I was for going at night and the risks...oh to be young again...I wanted to see the tunnels but they were completely flooded
Police still patrol it abit, I tend to walk into locations like that (avoid being seen), but yea I wanted to see more but with the deterioration and flooding, it just was not possible. It was still a great place to see!!
Group of us went there at night back in the early 2000s. Pitch black in the basement. Def some creepy shit
It was a nice location. Shame when I went the staircases had gotten in such a bad condition I just didn't trust them so limited my experience for sure!
I'm tellin you, the staircase to the basement in the middle of the 1st floor has a 3rd sub-basement with tunnels that connect to the adult hospital - but you should never explore them under any circumstances. @@ExploringWithBenandSam
I know where the morge is, I've toured groups of people through the property, and yes through the tunnels that connectsthe main properties
Yea unfortunately being alone and the state the stairs were in I avoided them. Sometimes have to think safety first haha
Involved in 3 different investigations in 2007-2008. I do not recommend exploring this now. Health and physical hazards. Our team took precautions for asbestos and lead paint, but even in 2008 the buildings were falling in on themselves as noted in our filming. Only yielded a few interesting situations yet with no real paranormal activity. Did have one night vision camera get unusually fried though. The auditorium, the maintenance building, the power plant, the conference room in the admin building, and the morgue were interesting spots. An incident in the stairwell with the open elevator shaft at the top yielded conversation on floors below, but might have been just local kids. Distant crashes heard often as the buildings are slowly collapsing. The local police patrol the grounds often and at one point a security trailer was manned 24/7. Stay clear, this is not worth risking any investigations.
Oh yea I did this awhile back. I tend to stay hidden when exploring, not to be seen, and yea I avoided the stairs as obviously they were collapsing so.
What’s the best side to go into the house cuz there’s that trailer across the street from the house that’s why we were hesitant to go inside.
Going tonight, did yall make it in?
I went front door, but yea floor is collapsing so it is not safe honestly.
@@ExploringWithBenandSam All the houses have collapsing floors, been there about 3 times and almost went straight to the basement one time. Security sits in the bushes far back of property by the power plant and childrens ward. that trailer has no one. go on a weekend to avoid security
So me, my friend and his girlfriend went to this hospital literally just to get some pictures, so we go in to the adult hospital, we was on the first floor and was walking down the Hallway checking every room, getting pictures and moving onto the next room, so we get to the end of this hallway to a dead end which obviously we had to turn around and go back the other way to explore the other side,(we thought there would be a stair case to go the next floor at the end) so we start walking back and we get about 3/4 way back and stop to start recording, we just was about to record and like gods honest truth, we heard what sounded like a little girl go lalala, from behind us, so basically down the hallway where we had just came from and had to turn around, we checked every room as we went down so no one could of been in there, and we heard it and it took a few seconds for us to realize, holy shit, we all heard that and started running😭 it’s funny cause I was running so fast and was in a panic I ran right past the exit not realizing it and like threw my arm out to grab a part of the wall to stop myself, and like on the way back home I was driving and felt like all my energy was drained, and almost like I was disoriented, btw we had only ran like 30-40ft so It’s not like I was tired from running, and even my friend and his girlfriend said they were feeling weird
Not surprised. I hit that one cold spot in the hospital and it was after another explore/hiking into that location in late Summer, so no reason for a cold spot really. It was a hospital with a lot of history and everyone is bound to experience different things.
Me and my friends went in there and on the way home the lights in the car started flickering on and off and the needles moving around all sporadically
There alot of buildings there damn
That place is haunted!! Several friends of mine has been there and captured evidence.
I saw something big and hunched over ontop of the main building last time I went. It’s definitely haunted.
I am sure it is honestly. It has a lot of history and with history in such a place generally can come hauntings.
I’m going there tomorrow around 7 hopefully security isn’t a issue I wouldn’t think so
howd it go
@@whymelly1684 it went good no security issues
@@mexicanhobgoblin9119 Glad to hear. I've been picked up by the cops exploring there like 15 years ago.
I live like 2 minutes away from there
ive heard a person died their recently would be cool to see you explore it again
I'd had to look into that news, but it is also a long ways from where I am at but if I got up there again might just have to stop and see what it is like these days.
@@ExploringWithBenandSam yeah i leave very close to it every single cop is gone no one is there anymore the trailer is also gone
Yea the trailer kind of had me wondering so I just stayed away from that side (unfortunately, some good stuff over there) but yea people asked alot "How didn't you get caught" hah
@@7600xtClips is it easy to get into?
@@instantsports1724 currently it is theres no security at all ive went there a couple times with a few of my friends
my friend broke his leg, when he went😂
I was in there a couple times my senior year in high school 1989. Weird to think it had only been closed 8 years back then. I don’t remember much but we were upstairs. There was already graffiti everywhere.
I wish had gotten there earlier but travel and all. Wouldn't mind getting back there one day and see what else can find/experience.
Okay, okay, you are looking for the morgue, huh? The main large buildings are A, B and C. If I remember correctly, it is in the basement of building B. Either way, it is in a basement.
Yea I looked into it further but all were clearly flooded and the stairs are a death trap
@@ExploringWithBenandSam looks like at the beginning of the video you found it.? With the caskets ? But the actual video gave the impression you did not find the morgue. ?
What's the time stamp? If it's the "intro" vid part thats a different location. I'm pretty sure I missed the morgue spots in the Glenn Dale Hospital
Damn man so there was no security there? I'm about an hour and a half away and thinking about visiting there.
Yea but some were surprised I did not get caught so it seems 50/50 as I've seen people have cops roll up on them too so.
@@ExploringWithBenandSam There's another video of this hospital and several say it's not worth going. Security is much more heavy now. And the trespassing charge will never be erased from your record. Sucks since I love visiting abandoned asylums. I still wanna go but it might not be worth the risk. Did you feel any weird presence or disturbance there?
@Taddyclair212 damn man you lucky lol. What was it like? You didn't see any cop cars there?
@Taddyclair212 Damn man the fact that there was a cop there doesn't give me encouragement to go lol. But I still wanna see it badly. did you see or hear any weird shit there?
@Taddyclair212 nice. Definitely sounds like it's worth it. You went alone?
The morgue is by the boiler room and the laundry...
Yea didn't make it into that building unfortunately! Another explorer I knew went following my video and got stopped by the police lol.
@ExploringWithBenandSam I was planning on making a trip out to this place, and I want to know the risks. What punishment did your buddy get?
Well firstly if you choose to be careful. Obviously potential asbestos still, mold, collapsed stair cases, soft flooring, openings in the floor to 1-3 level drops, probable flooding still in a lot of the lower levels. As to what he was charged with, if anything, worst case would be trespassing I would think but most likely just got a warning, but can't verify that really. So always go at your own risk.
You went in there by yourself?? You got some big steel cojones bro way bigger than mine that's for sure haha. I live down the street from the hospital and I wouldn't go in there by myself even if they paid me
I had just come from Forest Haven and almost got caught by security there so this was a calming location in comparison. Hope you enjoy my other content!!
I wanna make trespassing at the hospital
I went here a few months ago and felt so many eyes on me. Can't explain it but the dead are watching you. So many bodies buried there probably. I wanted to explore forest haven but that place is guarded af. Should've worn a mask in there, asbestos lungs...
went last night, narrowly escaped security/copcars
Bro how did the police not bother you
I don't know just stayed out of sight at best as possible "in case". Always best philosophy for me.
