Abandoned Asylum - Overbrook Asylum *Legacy Version*

[@dorothywertz6829]

I also grew up near Overbrook in the 1970's, there was a juvenile detention center on the same grounds or next to it. It was such a sad place, I remember that sometimes they let the patients that weren't too bad off out for day passes and they would go to the White Castle for burgers. You could tell by their disheveled clothes that they were patients at Overbrook. I had a friend whose parents had him put in Overbrook because he had depression, parents could just put the kid in there if they wanted for pretty much any reason. Also parents got away with beating kids, it wasn't against the law then. So often the kids that were in there didn't start off with mental illness but after the stigma placed on them from being in an institution they would end up kind of broken.

[@EphemeralProductions]

so sad . all those poor ol things. :(

[@angelopalmieri434]

We need justice for those poor mentally unstable people who were neglected and affected dramatically by being institutionalized as they were...

[@AntiquityEchoes]

Thanks! Some of the stuff is filmed by hand on a tripod but the long pans are filmed on a dolly.

[@zenbeer]

we used to drink beers inside this place in the late 1980s before it was torn down. I vividly remember having wheelchair races down the hallways and 25 people on the rooftop drinking beer until 2am. We'd park cars in the doctor's quarter's garages and take an underground tunnel to the main wing. What a time we had. Sad that it's torn down now.

[@EphemeralProductions]

No wonder the damn cops started cracking down so much on anyone they find in the place.... LOL

[@Rockapella66]

The quality of your videos is amazing and I love the music you chose! Great Job!

[@AntiquityEchoes]

Thank you so much for saying that, I would love to hear some of your stories.

[@grep67]

This place is located in Cedar Grove, NJ.

[@applepiejacks]

this is great, glad to see that essex county lied to us when they said they were going to tear the whole thing down and make a park.

[@ginamaria2579]

AWESOME video, LOVED the music, a perfect fit for this vid .. Thank you so much I REALLY enjoy your videos

[@AntiquityEchoes]

I bet she has so many stories to tell.

[@leadombis2820]

The music is the opening of Elfen Lied =)

[@TheTaoistdragon]

I grew up a couple of miles from Overbrook. It was a creepy place when it was up and running and even creepier now. I can believe they havent torn it down and built condos in its place yet. When I was a kid everyone was scared of it. If you were bad you got sent to Overbrook. Spooky.

[@EphemeralProductions]

They tried to. LOL but they (the condos) got blocked somehow and then it was decided that a park would be built there instead. That was several years ago though and nothing has yet materialized. So who the hell knows what will happen? LOL

[@MirceaBell]

Elfenlied ,great choice for such wonderful vid!

[@AntiquityEchoes]

Agreed, but unfortunatly it wouldn't fit in well with the rest of our video library.

[@AntiquityEchoes]

Thank you, that's one of my favorite animes.

[@sallygreatone3726]

Cool video this place is sad and very creepy, but there is some beauty to it. Hey what classical peace is playing.

[@AntiquityEchoes]

Hello Sally, We always list the music under each video, "Lilium" by Kumiko Oguro

[@paulallen102]

I just read your beautiful book, what amazes me is the way nature will reclaim a building, Certain object's stand out, some one carried that chair out, put it down and never came back. Who put that fire extinguisher in the room and walked away?

[@doobyboy21]

A Nice pop up ghost with a very loud scream would of been killer at the end of this video !

[@witchels666]

Loved it all your videos are amazing!!

[@3GHomie]

I went inside this place last year, its hella creepy

[@AntiquityEchoes]

We had to use Google Translator on your comment, but thank you nonetheless.

[@mikesnitro]

Well done! I'm happy I got to walk this property prior to the demolition. They should have saved the old fire station though. Why demolish everything?

[@Riot98765]

MikesAvenger that’s New Jersey, they don’t do a good job with historic structures.

[@thisjustin4ec]

great video, I really enjoyed it...keep em comming...what were you using for the such smooth camera movement, if its just a steady hand then thats amazing.

[@chevyman19761]

cool video right here,its heart touching thou!.where is this place located and is it still standing?

[@TK85AL]

This is a great channel you have! Where exactly was this asylum filmed at? I would like to visit this place.

[@angelopalmieri434]

I'm not one who has a very fond belief in ghosts but I will say I was attacked here before it was traumatizing..... not to mention I got Lymes disease from a tick on the grounds while I was attempting to sneak in to take photos and video. Cops were swirling the property so I couldn't just use the front door so I went instead through the tall overgrown grass towards the back of the facility. I got in okay g9t some killer pics and video but unfortunately those are now lost in time like this building and it's history once the committee decides to tear it down. Which they are currently still doing to this day at a slow pace.

[@JPatrickGreene]

GREAT!!!

[@Riot98765]

Farewell overbrook

[@witchels666]

Loved it! !!!!!!

[@Ktmoney123]

Great video! I have a few questions.... What are lenses and camera are you using? What are you using for your editing? Also where do you get the music from?

[@M03NS]

If you go to the morgue of the asylum, you will see mannequin legs in one of the freezers

[@PCTricksterJJ]

wow, just wow!

[@vauxhall908]

Not a scary place at all I have been in and out of the place...Now the people that it housed? I personally know a person who was housed in Overbrook before it closed He told me story's about doctor's trying to keep him there for money government funding and some other weird happenings but he was medicated So is what I was told true or just the medicated mind ??? My friend also broke in years later looking for records That's part of the weird stuff He told me he had to before they destroyed the place or he'd be trapped ???

[@EphemeralProductions]

to the creator of the video: did you run into any unexplained occurrences or things you still dont' know what they were, while in the buildings?

[@AntiquityEchoes]

We have had extremely few experiences in over a decade of filming abandoned places that were without explanation. However, this place was an exception of sorts. We have a short video shot on infrared in the basement where we captured a vert eerie shadow at the end of the hallway. Here's the video link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gorJdaKHbLhpnck

[@EphemeralProductions]

Antiquity Echoes strange and spooky indeed.

[@kpimm1918]

poignant to say the least. Great video. How did you get in?

[@sallygreatone3726]

That place looks really creepy would love to walk through it. Hey what is the name of the music playing.

[@uza_]

This is kinda creepy because I live right Next to this building...

[@EphemeralProductions]

what's creepy about it? maybe someday if you're willing to watch yourself, and make sure the cops don't catch you, you can wander the grounds and prove to yourself it's maybe not that creepy. hehe

[@KottonKandy44]

Loved the Elfen lied music to go with it

[@mesobored23]

ive been there and that place is really haunted, ive had my own personal experiences

[@EphemeralProductions]

Thousands of people died there over the years. So really it's no surprise it IS haunted.

[@ddduncan7]

How the hell did it decay so much in 5 years?

[@EphemeralProductions]

Been decaying since the 70's, from what I've heard, even though it didn't close til 2007.

[@EphemeralProductions]

how did you stay long enough to get all this beautiful footage? i've heard that the local law enforcement REALLY has cracked down on busting anyone they find on the grounds....

[@mikesnitro]

I asked the sheriff's office for permission to walk the property. They got me in touch with someone from Essex County who could approve it. I'm thankful for that opportunity.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Awesome.

[@Mcchicken1366]

what happened to the other video you had of essex?

[@AntiquityEchoes]

Hey! I sent you a message about it. I actually edited the song like this.

[@jcnouriaemma1193]

j'adore avec la musique d'elfen lied c'est vraiment flippant :p

[@MrMark509]

Ok where are the creepy nurses from Silent Hill ?

[@FlyingFoxSable]

Where can I find this version of the song? I can't find this instrumental-only version anywhere!

[@Marquis-Sade]

Was the same year erected as the house I live in ^^

[@EphemeralProductions]

1896? :)

[@Marquis-Sade]

tall32guy Yes :)

[@Riot98765]

Marquis dang, that’s neat.

[@rAdoMD]

i think, that this music ain't suited to that video

[@maned1424]

so creepy :/

[@spyninja3000]

Someone likes Elfen Lied 😏

[@kuriant.y1963]

Who else is here after white enamel

[@AntiquityEchoes]

We are proud to say we are close friends with the creator of White Enamel, and it's always awesome to hear that people are enjoying the experience.

[@sallygreatone3726]

Cool video this place is sad and very creepy, but there is some beauty to it. Hey what classical peace is playing.
