It doesn't look so bad until you realize that people had no where to shelter and most probably were immobile. The mattresses were probably put on the floor so people wouldn't be shaken out of their beds and be badly injured if another earthquake struck. It makes me feel ill to think that the people on life support probably passed when the power stopped. I love the fact that they had pocket doors, they make way more sense for moving people and equipment in and out. As for the filming it was very smooth and your voice came through loud and clear.
Hospice is a facility where the terminally ill are taken for pallative care (just keep them comfortable) until they die. Usually people are not at a hospice facility for more than 2 to 3 weeks. If they do not die within that time, they are sent back to nursing homes or hospitals where they came from. The patients would not have known what was going on, as most people in hospice are near death and on a lot of morphine to keep them quiet and calm. It would have been the nurses, doctors, and caretakers attending to the terminally ill patients who would have been aware of everything and all the danger, and who had the most to lose. How sad for all. Thank you for the explore, although it was hard for me to watch it all the way through.
Around 24:30 when you walked into the room where you saw shoes and a gown laying in the floor…was any of your crew around you! Someone clearly says “konnichiwa” when you walk in!!!!
Omg I went back and heard it too. That was an elder woman and it didn't sound like anyone was actually around him at that moment. Maybe her spirit appreciated someone acknowledging their fear and what they experienced there. It looks like it was a nice facility for people ready for hospice.
You have to wonder what happened to those in hospice care, that could perhaps walk a little ? Did they manage to wander, or even crawl out, and died in the surrounding countryside ? Then what happened to them ? Doesn't bare thinking about, does it ? Another great, interesting and thoughtful explore - more questions than answers, for sure.
This is some real deep stuff ! You can only imagine what these people went through. What a terrifying time these people must of had. Thank you for sharing x
I'm not sure if you notice but just after 24:29 you can here a voice speak, I was shocked and heartbroken to here this, please listen Dave as I don't think you actually heard it as you was filming, I'm sure i heard a voice, please find out what they said, It's like a time capsule, time just stood still, So much sadness, your heart just ach for those people, my heart felt so much pain for them, such devastation, people on life support machine's I'm sure losing there life as there was no power heart breaking and for there family's, and those vulnerable people who could barely move trying to move as fast as they could to a safe place, how scarred waiting for someone to come and help and rescue you, I couldn't imagine what it was like for those patients nurse's and doctors, I hope one day all the relatives can come and collect all personal items belonging to there family's, may those who's life was lost find peace, ONE LOVE ❤
Hi Dave, first up, great explore of this abandoned hospital/care home/hospice, I feel it was maybe all three. It's huge an so many hidden corridors to other rooms. I missed the EVP this time. But I went back and did hear it then. Late last night in bed I was thinking about this place because something was bothering me about it. Asking you, Dave and the rest of the AWE family a question or two here, because I realised last night what had bothered me about this location. Remember when you did that A-line building at the beach in Fukashima? Remember how destroyed it all was on the first floor? Water damage very visible, with a wave so high and powerful how could it not? There is nothing much that can withstand a wave like that, I mean surrounding countries even had serious flooding. Make no mistake I saw footage from both in Japan and other countries that shows just how the water took everything it could with it in it's path. Things like branches , plants small trees, umbrellas, bikes, boats, cars, anything small not nailed to the ground, and mud, lots and lots of mud. Receding it would leave debris everywhere. If it receded fast there wouldn't so much be water damage, but there would be debris and other damage done in it's wake. For instance, there would be a lot of mud all over the ground level floor. I saw that most doors were made of glass and the windows were large too, the wave should have broken those as well. No plain glass is resistant to that amount of water and debris. Yet, as far as I could tell, all the windows and doors you showed were intact, maybe one here and there broken. How can that be? No debris and mud on the floor? No clear line as to how high the water had rushed into the building, leaving no marks at all? The sheets, pillows, blankets, mattrasses an tatami mats not discoloured by the dirty muddy water? No mould on them or even moss growing. The washing area showed signs of damage to the ceiling from the earthquake and the black mould and green spots came from piping that burst with the earthquake as well. Things shook in the building, but there was no flooding. I saw no evidence of it. Or a big cleaning crew has been in years ago a cleaned it all up. What do you think?
This must have been one very long nightmare for these poor people I can't imagine how I would have reacted if I were in these peoples place. I agree with you that place did give off a creepy vibe. That orangeish chandelier in that one area was gorgeous I guess that was the orange wing since a lot of the area was painted orange. I loved the personal pictures it's a shame those people weren't allowed to go back and get them and I love how you tried to put the stuffed toys back in there places. Thank you for showing sharing this. Take care
Hey Dave when you entered one of the rooms, something said hello in Japanese. I rewand it back to make sure that I had heard it correctly. Very sad to think that people didn't have a lot of time too do anything but hopefully they all got out. Take care and stay safe dave. Love from Guernsey xx
Oh how creepy 😮 l can almost feel the fear that must of been felt by all these poor people and it looks like it has all literally been left , such a shame all those possessions are left to rot 🥲🫣🕷️did you see any spiders ? An amazing and interesting exploration , once again Dave thank you for taking us on your journeys we do appreciate you , sending love 💕 😊
You guys take of yourselves over there doing this,you show lots of good stories,this one is sad to think that this happened 12 years ago,I live in Queensland. Australia,a lot of your trips you do are good and interesting,this one is sad ❤
That had to be a scary time those people had to go through it is so sad to see all the peoples belongings left behind. I hope everyone got out safe. Thank you so much Dave for all your great videos and bring us along with you. God bless you in your travels. Love you loads. Xx
This is so heartbreaking to me. My mother-in-law and brother-in-law we're disabled. My ex-husband and I tried to take care of them as long as we could, but even though we were still relatively Young neither of our health was good and we had to make the very neither of our health was good and we had to make the very devastating decision to put them in a nursing home they passed away in December 2012 in December 2013 respectively but I can just imagine them in this horrific situation. Same with my grandmother and mother. I cared for them although they passed before I had to make that same heartbreaking decision. Now thanks to Long Haul covid, I am 47 and suffer from debilitating pulmonary, musculoskeletal in brain fog and I am partially disabled myself. I am divorced with no children and no siblings so this may very well be my fate and my future, made sooner all the more things to covid. Even though this was nuclear, it brings to mind the horrible devastations of hurricanes Katrina and sandy, and all those who were elderly and disabled who lost their lives, weather in hospital or hospice or at home. Thank you the bottom of my heart, thank you for doing this Exploration with such compassion tact and respect. Also very glad you wore a mask. Be well and take care of yourself.
Hi, Dave, how strange that when you mentioned doing a paranormal investigation, it made me think of the voice of a man in a bedroom you were in. Just as the thought crossed my mind, a voice greeted you in Japanese at 24:30! Creepy! I feel strangely calm in some parts of this place! Thanks, Dave, shout out to Ronan! xx
So sad 1000 600 died when being moved out of hospitals with complications due to radiation . And all together over 2000 people lost their lives due to radiation complications I can't watch this one its to sad Stay safe.
It is both interesting and scary. That all the hospital beds and supplies were left like this all of a sudden and we don't know what happened to them? After you took and published these videos, has anyone contacted you and asked about their condition? Who was there and gave you any information? Thank you very much for the explorations you do and accompanying us on your travels. Take care of yourself.
9 magnitude is a massive size equake! I went through 2 back to back here in SoCal in 2019. 6.4 the first day July 4 th and 7.2 the very next night. Im still on Zoloft because of the ptsd it caused me. So i cannot even imagine a 9? Holy crap! Those poor people.
at 2430 you can hear a voice speaking to you in Japanese !! konnichiwa or something like it it means hello or good afternoon. freak me out i had to go hear it a few times love your show .. stay safe much love from a fan in eastern oregon
Very sad video.Thank you for showing great respect towards the people who went through the terrible experience. Thank you for always respecting the abandoned place.
Great video Dave, just makes ye think how terrifying that mustve been for all those people! Very sad seeing all their wee belongings left behind and knowing they will never be able to reclaim them. I love how you speak of it all with sadness and emotion. I loved seeing all that remains there and thank you Dave. Stay safe ❤
Where did and who relocated the people and if they were exposed to radiation they might had disposed of the people and hide this from the people outside the area. Did you think of this? Who came into the center to disposed of the people the military,
This was amazing. Beautiful hospital that became a time capsule in the worst of times. Thank you for wearing a mask and keeping yourself safe. Looking forward to next video…can Steve come along??
Those big washing machines are called Industrial Washers, used in hospitals, hotels, and some laundry mats. If these impress you check out the ones that fold the sheets used in hospitals.
Thank you for showing me this place how bad the quake was in this hospital/Care takers . Breaks my heart man could not stop it before it happen. It brings tears to see this sad. Thanks for this video stay safe friend . Love ya Barbie friend in Fl.
for a 9. summink earthquake, thats pretty devastating, im surprised that everything hasnt fallen onto the floor, walls cracked, even those vendor machines are upright and intact.
Man. That was one of the more sad feeling explores yet. You did a great job documenting it. Keep it up my bud! P.S. I love love love the Japan trip. It's been my favorite for sure!
Thank you so much for showing us this beautiful hospital- so much natural light from all the windows. I thought I would feel the creepy vibe but I viewed it as warm and cozy. You can tell the staff took good care of this facility even though they were overcrowded. Keep up the great work mate! ✌️🙏❤️
there was a voice at around 24:20, right when he walked into that room and said about shoes and robe on the floor. sounded like someone said "Konnichiwa"
Around the mark: 24:26, one second or two later, I can hear a lady say Kon'nichiwa, she sounds like she's an older lady. You keep on walking in the room and don't seem to react to it,, so I don't know,, was it a ghost greeting you?
I was in Tokyo during that earthquake. It wasn’t just a one-and-done earthquake. We’d had strong earthquakes the week prior, and there were aftershocks every few minutes the rest of the day.
From South Australia, such a heartbreaking story, it's like a zombie outbreak, where they leave everything behind. Thank you for sharing this, Take care.. Oh 1st time subscriber...
I could hear screaming as you walked through this place and I felt so sad and heartbroken, but it happened so fast it was like the snap of the finger of the good Lord giving us a warning to straighten up. And just look at what is happening now. We are at the end of days people, it's time to wake the Freak up
Very heartbreaking, even though it happened over 12 yrs ago my prayers are with them. They were terrified. I can feel it. Please be aware of how long you hang around in radioactive places & what you touch. Stay safe Sir & everyone
I remember your Japan road trip. I'm not getting any creepy vibes from this care home. It's very sad and the building stands as bearing witness to the Fukushima disaster.
Wow David - such a creepy vibe from this one. The imagination runs wild trying to think of what the patients, family & staff went through. How many of them died when the power went out, when the evening and darkness came, the uncertainty and fear. You are absolutely The Best when it comes to exploring and taking us with you. At about 24:31 I clearly heard “konnichi wa” played it several times to be sure. At about 25:19 I could hear whispering, but I could never make out a single word. This trip seems to really have gotten to you & I so hope you stay safe. Take care David, I pray your head and heart are getting better❤
I was so interested to hear what the guy had to say after "this happened in all the hospitals" to see differences from procedure I am trained in US, but unfortunately everyone just talked over him
At 24:30 When you were walking through the hospital just after you said 'dressing gown on the floor' there's a male voice that sounded Japanese say something..Such a sad place😢
Wow ty so much, what happened to them all!! Did many survive😢 I've been a carer my hole life couldn't imagine having to deal with such a desperate situation 😢
Great video guys. I keep meaning to ask you: I think I recognized some Canon cameras, and was wondering what models you guys use to film with (Rebel 8 etc)..? 😊
