Abandoned Mountaintop Hospital with everything left (20 years of Natural Decay)

Our journey begins at the base of a mountain we are about to ascend, at the top lies a hospital built in 1913 and abandoned in 2003. Everything was left behind leaving the current environment the perfect location out of Fallout. Multiple operation rooms and many surgical lights reflect back at us while we shine our lights into the darkness. A full library of knowledge, a decaying chapel and much more awaits. If you enjoyed, a thumbs up would let me know right away. Thanks for watching

In the medical field, books are only relevant for about five years because medical treatment and research develops and improves so often. However, old medical books are really fun to collect. So they could be sold to collectors.

Just keeping it real haha

I was born in that hospital in 1976. Visited it a few times right up until it closed. All I'll say is it's in upstate NY.

[@97JoMiller]

do you know why it shut down? It's a shame to see such a large complex that was active for 84 years shut down. This stuff always makes me sad to see.

[@kristopherboice197]

@@97JoMiller small community couldn't sustain the financial burden to maintain such a big hospital for such a small town. There used to be much larger businesses and manufacturing facilities in this area that helped support the need for this hospital, but once those started to close it affected all surrounding areas.

[@kristopherboice197]

Only a few sections of this were still open in 2003, some of the buildings he explored had been abandoned years prior. I visited that ER around 1996 and at that time only the ER and a few buildings were operational.

Figures. Upstate NY. That whole state is going to hell. I used to live in Oswego.

[@derbydriver]

Gotta say your channel is the next best thing to Proper People. They win because of the photography work of course (hard to beat, they've got the equipment and the experience), but your demeanor and understanding of when to talk and when to let the building speak for itself is right up there with them. Keep up the great work!

[@itsjeninMass]

If you're into the photography, you should follow Steve Ronin, if you don't already. Some of the best work I've ever seen.

[@groofoot]

imho, the Proper People are too loud ... yell too doggone much

[@deendrew36]

@@groofootdo they? I have watched almost all of their vids and I can’t remember them ever yelling annoyingly.

[@HighSierraDawn]

The library room is gorgeous. I would be in heaven to have a room like this in my home just for books.

[@jipsees1908]

You have a great voice cadence when you narrate.. and you are appropriately quiet so the place speaks to the viewer..I really enjoyed watching 👍

[@samuelsaintsurin2445]

Me too

[@groofoot]

yep; most of the time he speaks in a fairly quiet voice, and that's one of the reasons he's one of the best explorers .... I can't stand yelling

[@alliehearst4862]

Your editing technique and calm demeanor is so appealing . This was a great video and I love that clip you put in from a few years ago , really set an interesting mood. This channel is incredible .Thankyou!

[@tonycorente7304]

The decay is mind blowing. Incidentally, I love the sounds of the birds outside the residences, it adds to the abandoned atmosphere

[@grimsleyswitch]

Being a future surgeon, seeing those old surgery rooms with those big ol' lights gave me a rush! Old abandoned hospitals are my favourite!

[@UrbexAndChill]

Such a great explore

[@christinagladding]

Hey Chris where are was this hospital?

[@HeatherJoanWarner]

Is this J.N Adams? We were there twice to explore.

[@judithmcbride4023]

Hospitals are my favorite also. What a beautiful setting!! Never saw one before with homes for the Docs and Nurses right on location ! Great Vid!! Thanx!👍

[@DarkExploration]

I have a backlog of so many hospitals so those types of videos are guaranteed !

[@shar159]

I was very common for hospital to provide housing halls or floors within the hospital up until WWII. Lots of times the hospital was a distance from town and it was cheaper to provide housing than to pay the nurses more. Additionally the nursing staff worked long hours and women didn't usually have families and jobs, just made sense.

[@melindathomas21]

Mansion are mine..I could watch those 24/7.. 😁

[@nigelbranthwaite8471]

Enjoy your closed down Hospital video's, it must be great to go to a closed Hospital's and find that it is natural deterioration not brought on by vandalism, keep up the great video's.

[@DarkExploration]

Thanks for the kind words Nigel

[@princecharlie3217]

All the knowledge in those books now fits in the palm of your hand 🤚

[@marieked]

A number of hospitals I’ve been to have small chapels or rooms to pray in. The nurses housing was there for the original build of the hospital as it was a teaching hospital and students and staff nurses slept there. There are very few, if any hospital based nursing schools these days as it all pretty much moved to college/universities now.

[@judithmcbride4023]

LOVED the opening! Really touched me, now let’s explore!

That was an original Cabbage Patch doll. I remember that craze.

Lol I love That SQUIRREL he was just about to injoy a snack straddling the door like he was using the door to crack open that nut squirrels are awesome

[@rosiemcnaughton9933]

Appreciate your quiet respect for the place. It's a wonderful location. So glad it's free of graffiti, etc. I noticed in comments someone asked if you ever take souvenirs. The legitimate explorers (of which you are one) never take anything. They leave the place pretty much as they found it. It's still stealing to take something from the locations explored. Respectful people don't take things that aren't theirs. Very nice video. Thank you!

[@freebird5548]

Hospital explorers are my favorite of any explore. And this one was absolutely spectacular. Odd how parts of the building was in good condition. Whereas, other parts were decaying so much quicker. Beautiful campus as well. Thank you so much for sharing. Not alot of left over equipment, but great video regardless!! Your calm and peaceful demeanor during the explore brings an added bonus of which some explorers do not have. They have way to many people involved during their filming which takes away immensely from the affects of the video. Your voice is very appealing and calming with no unnecessary cursing or jabber. Great job. Thank you for sharing!!! 😊 P€a¢€~n~£0v€

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Great cinematography bro. Also, you scared the crap out of those girls. haha.

[@mygreatescape9617]

I could spend hours going through all that paperwork lol my curiosity always gets the better of me 😂 ohh yes and those books too

The view was beautiful! The condition of the last house was a pity, but from the little you were able to show us it seemed gorgeous!

[@philrea4842]

I'm glad you could make it through the entire facility without being disturbed. I live right near this and I have always been curious about it. Thanks.

[@TheDynotuner]

Great explore & as usual great editing. Its odd for such a facility to be in the middle of no where unless they were housing mentally ill or as other's said like TB or some type of contagious patients. Too bad you couldn't explore the house at the end more. Was surely like the top Dr's pad of the facility. That 3 car garage looked to be burnt at some point from the roof being charred & mostly gone. Stay safe & keep up the great work!

[@lazoo2000]

Another good one! You find the most beautiful places. I loved what you said about being curious what the world would look like without humans. I think about that, too. I especially think about how it would affect the animals,

[@Mr.Rogers91]

I wonder if some of the buildings closed before the main hospital closed. There is a hospital closed for a little more then 20 years near me and a couple of the smaller buildings closed a long time before the main building.
