Abandoned Asylum Children's Ward - Creepy Toys Everywhere 

Judging by the state of decay, the style of toys, and the wall art left around the place, I'd say the place was abandoned sometime around 1996-1998. The "Friendship Club" banners are what really make me think that, as they weren't all that popular and only stayed in elementary schools for five or six years before they got replaced with the "We Belong Together" posters I'm sure many 2000s kids are familiar with. What disturbs me the most is that unlike other mental hospitals that accommodate children, this one was built more like a giant boarding school in the children's wing than a medical facility. A lot of times they trying to make it as simple and sanitary as possible because the focus is to get the kids out of there once they receive their treatment. The turnover rates for beds in most children's psych hospitals is pretty high, as they don't stay there long once they're diagnosed and properly treated. With this it's like they were trying to build a home for the child patients, which suggests these kids were there long-term with no indication of any plans to receive immediate psychiatric treatment. Like it was just an enclosure to house the children that the state was throwing away. I can only imagine what sort of odd behaviours a child growing up in such an environment would develop. It might have made them harder or even impossible to treat, as the coping mechanisms and reasoning developed as they grew up in there would be unique to their circumstances, totally outside the realm of expertise for a child psychologist of the time. Then eventually they'd just be transferred to the adult wards. Sad and terrifying to think about.

Might just be me but, getting drunk in an abandon asylum doesn't really sound like a great time.

ok but is no one gonna talk about the fact that they came back to the tricycle and it was knOCKED OVER?????

As a Mom. what struck me about the children area is that high chair for a baby and toys are for toddlers. It makes me wonder if people just gave up their babies with birth defects at the hospital, not even bringing the child home. so sad.

I really need to stop watching these videos at two in the morning in a dark room by myself

“We have to keep quite as for the road next to us has security patrolling” Also them: CRUNCH CRONCH CRUNCH CRUNCH BANG BANH SHHHHHHH CLACK CLACK SHHH CRUNCH CRONCH SQUEEK SHHHH CLANG

I have no idea why, but seeing all those old abandoned toys makes me oddly depressed...

You never see graffiti in these places saying something like "yo this place spooky", it's always some dumb tag

*whispers so security can't hear them* *makes a fuck ton of noise walking around, hitting things, stepping on things, etc.*

The Proper People never bring the Proper footwear...

Who is paying guards to patrol around an old abandoned asylum?

At 8:00 that film roll is of the movie The lone eagle. It's a lost movie from 1927 that just happens of all places it could have hidden was an asylum. I certainly hope that someone takes that film roll and digitalizes it before the only known copy of it is also lost.

That's just sad, I mean what kind of a shit show does a kid that age have to go through to end up in a Psychiatric Hospital?

PSA: They boosted the audio 15 db to make their whispering louder which in turn made everything else louder as well. Now tops commenting "You so loud?"

"Oh oh be quiet" -makes a freaking ton of noise I love how obsessed you are with taking that damn boat LOL

13:35, that's an electroshock therapy bed, those dials control the voltage and amps ect... and the red button is the shock button

Okay so are we just going to move on from how casually they acted WHEN THE FREAKING BICYCLE WAS LAYING ON ITS SIDE? Just checking

15:23 "i tie my shoe cuz slavery is outlawed!" I laughed so hard

Those toys need to be rescued, poor things, they're all alone

Hearing how fucking noisy it is when they walk makes you realize sneak in Videogames like Fallout would be impossible in real life.

Holy shit! That place is epic! I could spend a day in there just reading paperwork

I will never, never understand how or why people leave so many seemingly personal things behind, like they had to run out as if the building was on fire. Didn't they have enough time to pack?

Depressing, sad, and interesting at the same time

That basement looks exactly like the perfect place for penny-wise to show up

the cool thing about watching these videos while at the gym is it helps pass the time on my boring elliptical workout and also since it is in first person it kinda feels like your the one walking kinda like those VR simulators. yet another awesome video, keep up the work!!

Seriously, go to An REI store and get some hiking shoes. I have a pair of Solomon high tops that are water proof enough to wade through creeks and keep my feet dry, and have added traction. Just as light and comfy as regular kicks.

Yesterday I nearly got like a heartattack because I saw a huge rat in my basement. Imagine how scared you must be if something moved or like the bike that was tipped over.

"This looks like a seance room." ....... or maybe it was used for group therapy being the type of place this was. Lol, these guys.

The preview is so dramatic. You guys definitely possess the skills to independently make a TV show. Everything about your Abandon video has a TV show vibe.

That fucking cliff hanger for part 3 why you gotta do me like that !!

5:45 some kid left his Jordans 😂

Quite often you find blueprints left in these buildings so maintenance or demo crews know where the services are located

Me: Watching RU-vid at 3AM RU-vid feed:

I have been waiting for this video,who else has been waiting with me 😀🙃

Scared of crickets but agrees to raft in that flooded room lol...

+The Proper People I just wanted to let y'all know that you revealed the name/ location of this institution when you showed the blueprints on camera. Just wanted to leave a helpful tip!

I've been waiting all week for this, as a fellow urban explorer there's nothing better than exploring massive places

I missed the question answer time 😔 Anyways, I just want to tell you guys that your exploring videos are the best videos that I have come across on youtube. Most of the other explorers seems to put too much dramatic effects in the videos. I love your videos and have been watching them all day today. Good luck on your next adventure!

I am dying to know what's on that film reel

The bike???? I would shit my fucking self

This video came up as a suggested viewing in my recommended section as I have viewed abandoned asylums before but I never thought that urban exploration was done as a hobby. You've introduced me to another world and I'm glad to be a part of it. I'm now subbed to other explorers like Dan and Will.

OH, I've been looking *SO* forward to this! lol, gotta love the classic Lucy sign. One of your best, guys! AWESOME! PLACE!

2:20 I had that exact castle as a kid.... gives me chills to see that

Im guessing the bomb shelters in this building were those kinds that werent real shelters, right? Cause we had an actual one back at my elementary school that was converted into a sort of activity place, and it had reinforced thick walls and a huge heavy vault-door as well!

You're telling me I have to wait another week for the next part? You're killing me 😫

"We have to keep our voices down as right next to these buildings is a street patrolled by security" Yeah right, you know it just makes the video creepier ;P

Really cool video's, brings back memories of when i was doing this sort of thing back in the late 80's (No Gopro back then) just memories..

I'm a new sub and want to applaud what you do. I used to watch all the ghost hunting shows just to find out more about the locations they went to. History is much more fascinating to me than fake spooks. Thank you for just exploring and giving us an inside look at these places! Off to binge watch some more now lol

I HAD THAT SAME CASTLE!!!!!!!

Where'd you learn to make cliffhangers? AMC? Ha, can't wait for next week!

I think this is the first channel I've continued to love over years of watching

I love you guys. Even though you sneak into places and stuff, you're really respectful to the site and leave stuff undisturbed. I've seen other urban explorers who trash the place even more and I have to say, you guys are definitely the nicest guys I've seen.

Old video, so doubtful this will be seen... But, Idea. Bring Neoprene Socks, and/ or a pair of old shoes with NeverWet applied. *Just a thought.*

2:11 I totally had one of those castles when I was little in the 90's!

Movie of the projector: The Lone Eagle (1927)

Incredible. I could easily waste my shutter mechanism in that place. Thousands of pictures just waiting to be taken.

I saw a picture of Darth Vader at 2:38 on the right sitting in a window of a corridor, cool....and so far the best Urbex you young men have done yet, I love this, very creepy and post apocalyptic like environment.

I'm so happy to see this channel doing so well!

The theatre is by far my favorite room in that building! It was so cool to see the projector still being in there as well! And oh my god, I can't wait for the next part! :D

Your channel is exactly what i was searching for. Finally a channel with mostly exploring videos! I love you guys so much!

This location resonates with me. I feel some sort of connection. Is it nostalgia? This place was running till the mid 2000s. So is it a possibility? I don't know. We all see these things in our youth. It baffles me to this day.

your production value is skyrocketing!!! Guys, you have to start a TV show!!

I thought some of your video looked familiar. Didn't the Exploring Crew (Josh, Cody, Steve & John) go to the same location at one point? You get to the theater and I know I saw it before. Then you get to the roundabout, where there are hallways that branch off. I knew for certain.

Seriously, how many hearts do u guys have? I would pass out from frightening.

Something about old abandoned electric transformers and breaker boxes both interests me and rubs me the wrong way. Some of that shit may still be live..and nobody would know.

Brooo part 3 looks dope as fuck when's it gunna air??

I have to commend you guys for never taking stuff, defacing or breaking what you see in any of your videos. Leaving everything as you found it is always best. How much better and interesting would this place have been without everyone's graffiti? The sense of history is reduced with later-year markings. Discovered you just a week ago and watched 15 or 20 videos since then.

2:11 maaaate.. I had one of those castles when I was younger. I used to make little stop motion videos on my sony ericsson k750 when I was like, nine, with little action figures. Good old fun times in the 00's!

for some reason I knew 100% that he would say: "to the brim with blueprints"

Omg I've been waiting for this

The way the light shines upon some of the furniture is creepy so effective

Loved the first one as those tunnels are cool. Enjoyed the whole place. Thanks for being brave enough to go in, cave crickets would have sent me out of there if the water 💧 hadn’t already.

Should've tooken the footage on the projector, You couldve unsolved any mysterys?

Dude Can't wait For Episode 333333333!!!!!

this looks so much like a horror movie i just keep on waiting for a jump scare somewhere

When you came back by that little pink bike and it was laying on its side...that did it for me! That place is huge!!

This place would be kinda cool if the kids weren't locked away for huge amounts of time and drugged up against their will.

what year did this place close? it looks not too old... awesome video too!

I wish new videos happen more often then once a week! part 3 please come soon!

2:11 FUUUCK the nostalgia is REAL! I had me one of those castles as a kid I loved that thing.

I went to a Special Needs school, and we had some of those six seater things. The red one with the balloons was almost identical to them, I think they were the same exact model or whatever. We used them to take the Pre-K kids around to busses or the church next door that we used for whatever we could fit on campus. Those things were super fun to play around with. But as a little 4th or 5th grader, having kids in it felt like the biggest responsibility in my entire life. I always volunteered to be the one to push them tho, just cause it was so fun. And the reason I pushed them with kids as a little 4th or 5th grader, was that we had some kind of safety patrol for one year that would help teachers during dismissal

WELCOME TO THE COMMENTS... you can hide here, your safe and sound

omg you guys are FABULOUS pls hurry up with part 3....

"Man, my dumbass would totally put that big blue stuffed animal in the chai---okay there we go."

last time i was this early jesus was making wine out of water

12:47 plot twist that's where people take anger management.

Nice video, you made Proper people, I love to watch your video on those abandoned buildings I never know that they excist as this Childrens ward. My compliments that you both take your time to record and show us this all. You both did a terrific nice job, looking forward to see some more new videos on other places abandoned ... Be always carefull when entering those places.

The mind boggles just thinking about how many abandoned Mental Asylums there are, not only in the United States but the whole friggin world. Places just left to rot and all those poor tortured souls rattling around the places.

I've been waiting for this and now i'm ready for part 3, I need to find people to urbex with in chicago I'm so into this

Is it just me or does it sound like a voice says "hey" as he enters one of the open spaces/room..9:43

Beautiful video guys .... so haunting. ...I'd love to get in there with my camera X awesome job.....take care

OMG i cant wait for part 3 it just looks like a movie!

When was this hospital active? I currently work at a psychiatric hospital for children, and toys like that are not allowed because they could be used as weapons. Curtains are certainly not allowed because they could also be used for self harm or to harm others. This doesn't add up unless this is a very old establishment that had no protocol, but those toys and jackets seem relatively new.

Right when you opened the therapy playroom there was an add. I was like, "Come on!"

What's weird is how none of these places would look dilapidated if they were in operation. Simply being there and doing basic upkeep and such makes a huge difference.

I love when you step on the ground and it makes noises!!!! So satisfying!and was that water on the floor!!

Hi, been watching your vids for a while and I had a question. Do you ever take stuff from these places (like blue prints or old signs, ect)?

At 11:38 you can hear a little kid giggle creepy eh

I love 'abandoned places' videos. This one is particularly spooky. And well-made; congratulations. I'm puzzled by the way so much discarded stuff (papers, toys, boxes, furniture, etc) is _scattered at random all over the floors._ Looks as if a poltergeist has been in there! (-; I've seen this in other 'abandoned places' and can't figure out a reasonable explanation. Any ideas?

looks like a pretty badass spot for a child to me. all the toys you could ask for, games galore AND a theatre?!
