ABANDONED ASYLUM SCOTLAND - East Fortune Hospital

East fortune opened in 1922 as a hospital, it then became a sanatorium when tuberculosis swept through Scotland.
During WW2, it was transformed into a military hospital and the TB patients were transferred to Bangour hospital.
Finally it was used to house long term geriatric care patients, before closing its doors in 1997.

You two have guts of steel. I spent 34 years working in hospitals (as a nurse). Several creepy paranormal-type experiences in my career. Very unsettling indeed. ❤

[@dewithistle910]

I used to work at East Fortune Hospital back in the late 80's when I lived in North Berwick. Really creepy vibes when I had to wait for the bus home after a late shift, especially on dark nights during Winter. 👻

[@myrescuecats3028]

The East Fortune Hospital initially served as a tuberculosis sanatorium until the WW2

[@ricanhavoc9965]

Who doesn't love an old creepy asylum?! Gorgeous!

[@nanetten6238]

My best, and most favorite job I ever had was working in a state psychiatric hospital in the US. I would definitely have lived on the grounds if possible. The grounds were beautiful, and I was not afraid of the patients (we gave each other healthy respect).

[@davidn3394]

Just when you think you you two can't get any better you post this, brilliant.

[@joagate3259]

Sad as , all the people who have passed through and how busy it would have been. Thanks guys. Jo

[@nannyofmany8315]

Oh yeah. Cant wait. Chomping at the bit! 🏇🏇🏇

[@gypsymorris8922]

Love your explores x be waiting xx

[@van_antwerpen]

Whooa this might be one of your best videos yet. 😮👏🏻👏🏻 When you mentioned how it felt with only a window as an exit it reminded me of one of my explores. It was an old school built I think around 1900, in about the same condition as this video. I had to get in through a busted out down stairs window. It was super scary and beautiful in there. I made my way upstairs snapping pics along the way and stopped in one room to take a picture of the sunlight hitting a window with a big missing chunk of glass. I turned the camera around to see how it came out and noticed a huge guy in it heading across the grass straight for the building I was in. I looked down and saw him out there. If I hadn’t taken that photo I never would’ve noticed him, and he was walking pretty fast. 😭 I swung my camera up under my arm and started running. Down a long hall, down the decaying stairs, halfway down another long hall, across a huge room and then I somehow catapulted myself through the window fairly gracefully to my surprise, landed on my feet in the leaves and started walking. I looked back only once and he was almost to the window. 😬 Made it to my car and blissed out on the adrenaline for about 10 mins til I was calm enough to drive. 😆

[@sandyalseth4550]

Wow! Now I know where you 2 went.! Was wondering why I didn't see you with Karl anymore. Glad you are doing your own thing. Will have to start binging other videos!😊

[@GailDuffenais]

Hello Sam and Jess, what a delightful creepy place to explore! From the beautiful ferns growing inside to the overgrown trees and bushes. You are both a delight in your videos, taking all of us to the unknown. Much love from chilly Canada ❤

[@EffortlessLH]

Such a creepy place! I got some unsettling vibes from here. It must have been really eerie walking around in there! I did think I heard wheels squeaking a couple of times! Thank you for a very interesting explore Sam and Jess! Xx

[@sueneilen4526]

Can’t wait love all your videos the best on KZbin

[@michelec814]

I grew up a few miles from there and paid it a visit a couple of times when I was younger. I now stay in Kent. Thanks for the nostalgia and where’s the rest of the vides from this trip? X

[@SallieEastell-cx9hl]

Great place to see, so photogenic, you two and the asslyum. 😅❤X

[@chrisblack8390]

That was good. Really liked the hike down the streets too. You should have made Jess try to get the sound again after she climbed out the window. Maybe the spirt didn't want her to go. Haha thanks

[@davidgranger3628]

I lived in an old Victorian asylum in capel le ferne ,I lived in a bunker on hawkinge aerodrome for a month and have explored many abandoned buildings in the 70's .The only things you will ever encounter are in your head . The most dangerous things out and about at night are other humans .Keep up the exploring but cut the spooks bit .thanks

[@KrisB5]

Wow what another treat! So creepy! Thanks for the adventures!!

[@helik22]

This was awesome place, very creepy vibes

[@merrileecowan242]

So amazing! Super creepy! I think the room with the 2 bathtubs were for therapies! They did crazy stuff in those places!

[@bethdoublekickchick8007]

Sam! 😂 I almost busted a rib when you pointed at the river and said, "Theres a river, canna cross it" 😂😂 Immediately I'm singing it 🤘🤣🤘

[@sheilad83]

#Jess and #Sam, so many beautiful giant trees on the property! Great and spooky explore!! Stay safe! 🌛🎃🌛

[@mariaroyle2612]

Loved this explore, you two make me laugh when you go to these creepy places.. so funny 😂 thankyou for sharing Sam & Jess take care 💙❤️

[@julesdymond8728]

Hi Sam and Jess. That was creepy 😳 😬 I could never work in an asylum. It would break my heart to see patients suffering 😢 and I would also be scared of violent patients! I just wished that people didn't vandalise and put gravetie everywhere 😕 it was an amazing place with so much to see and explore 😮 I really felt such sadness as I have watched several documentaries on asylums and the suffering of the patients in the old days 😢 take care buds xx

[@Orlcmb]

Love your channel! Would/have you ever put out a vlog talking about any unexplained possible paranormal things you’ve experienced? Cheers!

[@tomgrant3893]

Never had a haunted house show where I spent have the time laughing, you guys have fabulous sense of humor, your stories are so fun to watch, if Jessie was shy she seems to be over it now. Don't know if your aware, google here is being sued for storing and selling user info without consent, don't know about the UK. Can't wait for your next video.

[@kateshane8277]

[@antoniar8603]

[@elizabethjohnston3264]

[@MyButterfly60]

Was there ever a house you so loved you wanted to buy it? I mean one you could afford.

[@carljmcnew1388]

Cool thanks,

[@stephenspark9358]

so your in Scotland at the same time as Hell on Earth Great Video

[@ryanmalcolm4846]

Can you still get in or has it been demolished?

[@jyanin]

I do love this stuff, but I always take what you find with a massive pinch of salt since people, or other erm, visitors polute/tamper with the environments so much just for video clout/media pictures. Keep it up though, it's great to see the old styles and arcitecture, and those are things that are far harder to tamper with! :)

[@kevinmichael2538]

It's really abandoned, right?

[@joagate3259]

Maybe they lots of workshops all the out buildings.

[@roguegalaxy8758]

🕸🕯🙇‍♀️⏳”.. waiting”

[@elizibithmelchorcampos4152]

I just found your channel last night I'm obbseed

[@robertwilson822]

very cool. you guys should rent a cargo van an laydown and sleep in the back in private. creepy sleeping in a car and bad people could walk up on you up to window.....

[@MATDOORS]

how long since the change?

[@burnheretic3950]

It's interesting the amount of people who comment how awful sanitariums and asylums must have been. Now that they have all been shutdown in the US, homelessness has become a epidemic. Alot of whom have untreated mental health issues, living on the street in terrible conditions. Many of the "community outreach groups" are known to take advantage of them as well. They would be alot better of living on the beautiful estate of a sanitarium with their acres and acres of property. With proper medical treatment and daily activities of all sorts. These (asylums/sanitariums) were a reasonable solution. When health care became more privatized, quality of life lost priority in these places. A shame that they have just done away with these giant gov run facilities without sorting out a alternative. Now the people whom used to live in these places are homeless for the most part.

[@user-mf7me6cz7z]

To spooky

[@kevdoe3360]

I would rather have spent the night in that asylum, than that crappy "hotel"! 😊

[@exohio]

You may have seen an albino deer. Trust me, they are creepy because you never expect it.

[@Arnie10101]

That makes way more sense than thinking you've seen a centaur!

[@lindatimmons3675]

​@@Arnie10101...... Yes it may be just a legend or folklore tale. 😮

[@brassneck96]

Omg I've stayed at The Boundry hotel 😂 my room was much better.

[@lindatimmons3675]

If I were them I'd be asking for a better looking room. But if it's only room left or what is called affordable or budget room like some places here in U.S.

[@brassneck96]

@@lindatimmons3675 It is cheap and cheerful. Close to the best gig venue in Leeds.
