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

[@tiffanyhood8002]

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.

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.

[@tonycorente7304]

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

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

[@billy96z2002]

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.

[@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.. 😁

[@turnstilerockets]

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

[@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.

Hey Chris where are was this hospital?

[@judithmcbride4023]

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

[@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.

[@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€

Magnificent spot ! Beauty of natural decay is just beyond words.

[@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!

[@sherimcdaniel3491]

How sad that the place is rotting away when so many people need housing! What a huge possibility. Ok, the white Santa was disturbing. It’s odd that everything was cleared out by the very expensive lights were just left. I wonder why. Love the soft green er, carpet? I don’t know why people in hospital locations feel when the curtain is pulled between beds, you can no longer be heard. I’m guilty of it myself. LOVE the scaring of the girls!! And weren’t they dressed for hiking around in the tick-laden woods? hahaha!!! You are so respectful and you have an old soul. Very insightful. I love your channel, young man. What I wouldn’t give for the hydro tub! (sigh). I would gladly pay whoever owns the place now. Those dolls on the shelf in the first medical staff dorm ? I get a sinking feeling that they were up and walking about and froze when you came in. Camera gone? Back to wandering again! Damn! You went up on the roof but not into those rooms in the dr house?! UGH!!! Bad explorer! My curiosity is going to torture me for days now! Ohh, I forgive you, my friend. This was a very interesting look-see! I think it’s too late now, but it could’ve been put back into use again. I’m guessing it will be sold eventually and the whole place torn up and dug down. Such a waste of good workmanship! Well done!

[@groofoot]

Here in my hometown there's an abandoned psychiatric hospital, and it is guarded, pretty much 24/7, by rent a cops who drive around slowly just like that dude .... and yet people still say, 'yeah, man, you should go check it out; the guards hang around in front, so ya just go in the back!' ... and I'm like, no way ...
