Local governments don't have money for places like this. Because no one wants to prioritize healthcare, especially mental health care. Selling this would cover like one month of anything, and then they'd have to buy land to make the next hospital or whatever.

This is so close to my childhood. My grandfather was a physician and superintendent of a Tuberculosis sanitarium In Kansas. My father was a staff physician. Staff had hones on the grounds. My father had grown up there before he went to medical school and then went on Staff after he came back from WWII. I lived there the first 2 1/2 years of my life and then went back to stay with my grandparents every summer. With proper antibiotics Tuberculosis finally came until control and the hospital was turned into a mental institution. Recently I was planning on driving through on a move further East. I pulled it up on Google Map and was astonished to find it's now a prison. The place I grew up is a prison. That's a jarring realization.

A big reason for the amount of homelessness is mental health problems. These facilities used to house a lot of those people. So it was being used to help the homeless in an indirect way, however nasty evil people turned public opinion on these types of facilities

Imagine being locked up and seeing the sky, even when you're outside, seen only through chain-link fences topped with rolls of razor wire. (The poor, ravaged and weathered carcase of the raccoon can spark your imagination of what would happen to a human who tried to go over the top.) Still, some parts, such as the chapel, looked nice enough, even restful... Thanks, Chris.

It's not paint peeling off the wall because you're still able to see part of the solid mass protruding out beyond the wall. As if there's a person standing at the edge of the wall before it opens up into the next room. I'm not of the opinion it's necessarily something paranormal, but possibly squatters or other explorers. It caught my eye, so now I'm really just curious to know if you knew someone was standing there or not lol I always enjoy your video's and appreciate the history you share about each treasure you explore.

I remember traveling the back roads in Texas. I found a building on the side of the road that must've been a mechanic shop in the old days. The only way I knew it was shop because the old faded painting in the wall referencing prices for tire repair or spark plug cleaning I don't remember. A couple hundred yards down the road were more structures. Some had graffiti from the Vietnam era like class of 71' and old debris from the 80s. In another house a found a piece of porn that was folded up in the door jam of a house. It was sticky and a little crunchy to open but it was 1981-83. I found a abandoned residential home after that. You could clearly see it was beautiful house at some point. The roof was there but the ceiling was gone, leaving the top of the walls exposed. It had hard wood floor above a crawl space basement of about 2.5 feet. There was missing section of floor so to enter the house I had to balance on a beam to enter. Once inside there was nothing there but I remember seeing the shiniest spoon sticking out of the dirt in the crawl space. I was trying to build up the courage to grab the spoon from the crawl space but the floor groaned under my weight. I heard a movement in the other side of the wall. I grabbed my knife tighter and peeked around the corner. I didn't see anything. Then suddenly the house came alive with noise like buzzing. I seen wasps crawling out of the walls. These fucking texas wasps were fucking huge. The ENTIRE house woke up. It was a loud buzzing noise all around me. Wasps were climbing out of every hole possible. I got the hell outta there glancing at the spoon as I balanced over the exposed crawl space. I ran to the car avoiding the tall grass for snakes. I'm running to the car swinging my hat. I could still hear a wasp near my ear, as my hat swatted it away. Somewhere in my stuff I have a picture of me running out a a abandoned house in rural Texas swinging my hat hauling ass.
