Exploring an Abandoned Sanatorium

[@jimmyappleton409]

Hi I just like to say I'm a older disabled gentlemen that has trouble walking and I can not get out of my home very much so I started watching people like yourself that go exploring rather than sit watching TV all day as there is a lot of crap on nowadays and i stumbled a cross you page as it came up as a recommendation. I have seen a lot of abandoned exploring and a few of your I think this is about the 4th or 5th that I have seen of your but this one was fantastic I could of watched it for a lot longer in fact I will say its a shame it wasn't any longer it was respectful it was informative I felt as I was the one walking round just wish you did them about 2X longer and I will be subscribing and thank you

[@OlavXO]

+Jimmy Appleton (Appy) Thank you so much, sir. I`m sorry to hear that you are disabled. I`m really flattered that you rate my videoes as high as you do, it really means a lot that you like them. I have been requested to make my videoes longer, so I will definetly consider this for my next projects. Thanks for watching.

[@jimmyappleton409]

Your more then welcome

[@1CherryTree]

As a retired registered nurse in the USA, I really appreciate how respectful you were in your explorations and your presentation. A very well done video that I am glad to have stumbled across.

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me this. I have huge respect for the work you`ve done and every other person in the health-sector. These places should always be treated with respect because of the history, but also because of the people that once resided or worked there. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words.

[@XxDevilxKingxX1]

Re watching this, when you walked up to the glass door showing your reflection scared me haha

[@OlavXO]

+Marcos Santana lol:)

[@XxDevilxKingxX1]

when you walked into "sanctuary" i got goose bumps when that chair appeared, the music gave me a chill on my spine, very organized and proper choice of music that makes people feel the aura of the scene. good work

[@OlavXO]

Again man; thank you so much, I'm glad you like it and that it made you feel something. Walking around in abandoned places sharpen your senses to the extreme, and this place was really something special considering the history.

[@gracemorris4640]

I amazed by how clean the place is. Usually abandoned places have graffiti everywhere and broken glass. Nice video

[@OlavXO]

Thank you:) You are quite right about the graffiti part, but this place is so desolate and far out of in the middle of nowhere that even the shitkids dont bother going out there.

[@sovereignone1900]

Wtf? Why would anyone soil a historic place?

[@reinhard0069]

I had tuberculosis as a kid and wouldn't be alive today without modern drugs. Having said that this place in Sweden is a lot nicer than the hospital in UK I ended up in! Thanks for posting Olav.

[@dianag967]

love the video like how you explain the areas kids laughing in background makes it seem like their actually there the sanatorium looks so closed in dark and scary nice job

[@jeremyhanson637]

just watched all of your vids in a row, love em! it inspires me to keep exploring

[@OlavXO]

Really?!? That`s awesome:) Glad I inspire you and keep exploring, my friend:)

[@thoristeineriksen6510]

Dette var en utrolig bra reportasje. Full av historie og mystikk. Likte godt lydeffektene og supertekstene.

[@OlavXO]

Tusen takk Thor Øistein. Det er alltid greit og få med litt bakgrunnsinfo om sånne steder:)

[@cupcaketina59]

looks quite modern ,but yes we must never forget our history it is all around us.greetings from England.

[@OlavXO]

cupcaketina59 You’re right about that. Parts of the hospital was renovated to house disabled children. Hello England :)

[@DaisyHead666]

the childrens ward creeped me out the most

[@OlavXO]

+BioLizard Venom Sure was rough walking through it.. The feels man...

[@hsonrson1494]

Amazed that it had not been vandalized?! Just saw 1 tag? Did you get access to it or is it just very well hidden? Cheers..

[@OlavXO]

+Hson Rson Me too, mate. Nah the place is so remote in the woods that vandals don`t even get there. Got access, got there late at night so I could sleep inside before taking the pictures in the morning. Thanks for watching.

[@Emma-pu1rg]

Awsome! I live really near this. Loved your photos.

[@OlavXO]

thanks alot, Emma:) Yeah the place is beautyful.

[@539Productions]

Very good work! That place would be awesome to explore!

[@OlavXO]

+539 Productions Thanks a bunch, sir:) That place was really special:)

[@yaelzabaleta9358]

I see you from Argentina . Tanks. I like your pasion. Sorry my english ! Good luck!

[@monybounty]

It's incredible how things remained there...i mean everything, even in the project room, it;s incredible how people have not stolen yet that projector or parts or anything.

[@OlavXO]

+monybounty I agree, sir, it really is incredible. This is one of the reasons I don`t name the locations publicly. Thank you for watching:)

[@alishameece3341]

Thanks for another great exploration!

[@OlavXO]

+Alisha Meece Thank YOU for watching it:)

[@veyoodmt6276]

Love the editing, Really nice work! Did you take the pictures during the day and film at a different time?

[@OlavXO]

VeyooDMT Thank you very much:) You have a strong eye for details, my friend, yes I did. Got there late in the evening and I did some stills then, then slept inside the sanatorium and woke up the morning after and did the rest of the filming.

[@veyoodmt6276]

Olav XO Very Interesting, You should commentate over your videos, It's very professional and your filming skills are expert like. Love to get into urban exploration, yet still a minor with limited opportunity to travel, maybe in the near future(: Keep up the work my friend.

[@OlavXO]

VeyooDMT Thanks again for the nice response:) I will consider commentating for future projects:) Get started with exploring man, it`s awesome and you dont always have to travel so far to see cool places. Check your local area and start filming:) Good luck:)

[@jesperhammarlund300]

Olav XO hur fan vågar du sova inne där? O_O jag hoppas du inte gjorde det i källaren i allafall. :(

[@OlavXO]

***** Det funkar hur bra som helst, min venn:) Hehe, nei det var i 1 etg :)

[@zenyguerrero6593]

Amazing place, love to see a place in good condition, thanks for the vid!

[@OlavXO]

+Zeny Guerrero Thank YOU for watching, sir:)

[@doublechinultimate3394]

What’s creepy is that people who died sat in things like that wheelchair and saw what you saw as some of their final things

[@tannersommer8292]

That was fucking amazing! Thank you so much for this! Breath taking photography, you sir are true inspiration!

[@OlavXO]

+Tanner Sommer Thank you so much for this nice feedback. It really means a lot... If I can inspire you, I am flattered. Thank you for watcing.

[@tannersommer8292]

You deserve so much more recognition for you videos! I cant wait to see more!

[@OlavXO]

And I can`t wait to show you more:) Stay tuned, my friend:)

[@dimwiits]

This reminds me of Verruckt from Black Ops 1 Zombies

[@prabhatkiran7415]

i feel like it could be opened again with a bit of maintenance. glasses and mirror are still intact and marble are still clean. nice prologue. keep on adventuring so we can see these cool places

[@OlavXO]

I guess you`re right, at least some parts of it could be to some degree, but that`s a huge complex to start rebuilding. Thanks for watching:)

[@bunnylikenooother]

I grew up in Sandträsk, its the name of the little village where the sanatorum is located. My Dad and grandmother still lives there, the owner of the sanatorium bought it in 2003 and had many plans to fix it up and do something with it. But it all went on ice when he couldnt get enough of sponsors to pay for all the work and stuff. So its now just falling apart, one section of the buildning is closed of now because the roof is about to collaps, if we get alot of snow this winter im certain the roof will collaps.. So unfortunately its too far gone to fix it up.

[@austinping5886]

I like how you go straight for the dark section under the stair case lol...

[@OlavXO]

+Austin Ping Lol, seemed like a good idea I guess;) The darkest basements are always the most exiting:)' Thanks for watching.

[@austinping5886]

Olav XO no problem

[@emilyustick3738]

Damn. This place has even been abandoned since 2 years before my mother was born. 54 years. 54 years man. That’s 1964. I wish I could look this hospital up on Wikipedia. But it’s in Swedish.

[@kimlind1127]

Do you know when they closed down the building? Cruz it looks so pretty

[@OlavXO]

+kimlind112 SWE You`re right. Parts of it is still in mint condition and the reason for it is that they used parts of the building for children with special needs in later years. Thank you for watching:)

[@kimlind1127]

Olav XO Thanks for answer!

[@hovnarren]

The most interesting would be to know where in Sweden this place are ? And do you know how long its been abandoned ?

[@OlavXO]

+hovnanian It`s far north, and it has been abandoned for multiple times, but has reopended in more than one occation for other purposes.

[@gatsbykingsman7120]

Väldigt spännande och intressant! Fint filmat och bra gjort. Men undrar bara en liten sak, sanatoriet ligger i Sandträsk utanför Boden. Sandträsk Sanitorium. Men på sista bilden som är i videon står det Sundsvalls kommun nere i höger hörn på varnings skylten. Är den bilden tagen någon annanstans?

[@OlavXO]

+Gatsby Kingsman Du har fullstendig rett, min venn:) Det siste bildet var bare for å vise mine venner som var med meg:)

[@AT-le8xu]

this is your best video....thumbs up...ill share

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much.

[@48sneakers42]

Hello sir, may I ask what camera you use to take the photos with? Cheers.

[@48sneakers42]

+48 Sneakers And by the way, if you really wanna make your videos longer, you could inspect some interesting stuff and go into more rooms etc. Anyways nice video!

[@abisairomero1348]

Quick question; do you take any type of weapon for protection?? Awesome vids!! Love them!

[@OlavXO]

+Abisai Romero Not really, I do carry a massive tripod for the camera though, and it`s really heavy, which could make some blunt trauma I guess;) I also carry an army-issue foldable knife on longer trips, but that`s for utility. Thank you for watching:)

[@aggressive_elk]

I have been there, used to live fairly closeby. Very interesting place.

[@OlavXO]

+Aggressive_Elk Indeed my friend, indeed:) Thanks for watching

[@aggressive_elk]

+Olav XO No problem! I think it's sad that such a nice facility is going to waste though. Much could be done with the leftovers of it.

[@Zorck1]

you surely have the weirdest playlist on your phone. :D Cool places you have there, regards from Chile :O

[@OlavXO]

Ahahhahaha I can belive that;) Thanks a lot man, and a big hello to you in Chile:)

[@Benjamin-tr4jr]

Looks like it actually held up pretty well. Wonder what it was like in its day

[@OlavXO]

True that. I find myself thinking about this when I wander in these decaying hallways.

[@AT-le8xu]

Olav are you ever scared when u go to these plces...have u ever seen ghosts or something scairy

[@OlavXO]

Hey you. No I don`t scare easily and since I don`t really believe in ghosts I`ve never seen one either. Thanks for watching:)

[@quickflicks8492]

This gave me chills

[@OlavXO]

But still, you watched;) so thank you:)

[@Leon_497]

i gota ask the film was it pictures or movie and did you read what some of the book were

[@OlavXO]

+jay crute Hey. From what I can tell it was a movie, hence the pictures were the same image over and over. I never read any of the books, just caught a quick glance at them, they were mostly about god, peace, freedom and tranquility. Not uncommon in this kind of place. There were no specific treatment to tuberculosis, so a faint hope in literature was probably worth a whole lot.

[@Leon_497]

+Olav XO thanks for getting back to me

[@Leon_497]

+Olav XO i was just curious i find old book and grave stones mostly book beciase because some pple write stuff in there

[@Tamlin73]

Wow, ikke noe vandalisme? håper det forblir sånn....vakkert og litt trist sted... fin video med fin musikk :) Hva slags kamera bruker du? jeg har akkurat kjøpt et Olympus tg4 for Urban exploration...håper det fungerer til det, for man får vell ikke noe mer egnet kamera en dette :) Hilsen fra Norge

[@OlavXO]

+Jon Eirik Martinsen Hei, takk for fine ord, ja dette stedet er virkelig en perle med lite hærverk, jeg også håper det forblir sånn:) Tg-4 skulle nok virkelig passe flott til UE ja, alltid bra med et kamera som tåler litt juling når man er på sånne steder, selv skyter jeg med Canon og har ofte for mye optikk med meg, men det funker greit:) Gleder meg til å se hva du finner , lykke til:)

[@Tamlin73]

Olav XO Ja tror nok Olympus tg 4 blir perfekt, det tåler det meste, å har masse kule funksjoner, eneste er at det er litt lite, så skal lage en slags rigg, så jeg får montert et fotolys, å det skulle gjøre greiene litt mer stødig også :) jeg fløy alltid rundt med masse fotoutstyr før, å det hemmet meg bare, jeg fikk jo ikke montert utstyret før motivet var borte, så det ga jeg opp, å begynte med kompakt kamera, trives med det :) har også fått meg metall detektor og Atv, så nå er det jo egentlig bare å komme seg ut på jakt :)

[@harambemeister2110]

+Jon Eirik Martinsen Jeg ser deg over alt :O PÅ de airsoftvideoene til "Mrrunerebel", en sånn metalldetektorvideo og denne her! Verden er liten.

[@Tamlin73]

Plenicorn jeg er over alt ;) MrRuneRebel også hehe

[@defaltmarkowicz4887]

How the hell do you do this alone? It`s honestly amazing.

[@OlavXO]

it`s no problem, sir, I bet you can do it too:) Thanks for the compliment though.

[@miked1765]

When did that facility cease operations?

[@jesperhammarlund300]

for tuberculosis 1913-1960's it reopened in the 1980's as a general hospital and continued into early 1990's and since then it has been totally abandoned.

[@alexsbrighi1516]

What's the name of the first song that lasts up to 1m.30?

[@jeremyhanson637]

[@alexsbrighi1516]

Jeremy Hanson thanks man ;)

[@TeamUrbexDiscovery]

Great Video👍🏻Many greetings from Germany

[@OlavXO]

+Team Urbex Discovery Thank you so much, guys. Just got back home from Germany. You guys have some truly amazing locations, we should meet up if I go back there. Thanks for watching.

[@M-uj7qo]

[@OlavXO]

Very far north.

[@Muklolan666]

thumbs up for the SH2 soundtrack!

[@OlavXO]

And thumbs up to you for having a misfits t-shirt on your kiddo:)

[@Muklolan666]

WE ARE 138!

[@Ozzieyy]

how do you find all these places ?

[@Justin-fx2ze]

He probably uses the Internet to find spooky/controversial buildings that are legal to explore

[@OlavXO]

+Ozziyness I do lots of research online and read tons of old newspapers. I also talk to alot of people as they tend to know about these places. There is also a network of explorers like myself and if they trust you, they will give you the coordinates:)

[@jackthame1827]

when will you be making more :)

[@OlavXO]

I should be doing this all the time as I really love doing it. Time is not on my side unfortunatly, but I promise you that something cool is coming your way.

[@InsaneTrickers]

Hej är väldigt intresserad av denna byggnad och vill utforska den! Finns det någon man kontaktar man kan betala som kan öppna åt oss? Är verkligen sjukt sugen har verkligen varit intresserad i flera år nu😊

[@jefftan9467]

Your not scared.... Your just risking your life if there's someone there

[@OlavXO]

+Jeffanthony Tan We risk our lives everyday, sir. If we don`t explore the abandoned, soon those places will be forgotten. Thank you for watching:)

[@jefftan9467]

Are you the only one exploring that place that time?

[@jonm8346]

Once again top video

[@OlavXO]

Thank you so much:)

[@FanFanBabii]

Spännande, jag var där förra året, mycket förstörelse har skett sen dess ser jag :( Men mycket bra clip :)

[@OlavXO]

Hei, takk for fine ord:) Ja det blir dessverre alltid noe hærverk på sånne steder;(

[@mickiiz91]

vart ligger detta sanatorium? :) kan man fortfarande gå in i sanatoriumet?? :) Jag frågar för jag är väldigt intresserad av detta och besöker själv sanatorium som är övergivna xD . Bra video!

[@OlavXO]

+Michaela Elander Cool, vilka andra øvergivna santorier har du varit i?

[@mickiiz91]

Jag har varit ett här i Sverige som ligger lite längre upp i landet (då jag själv bor i Värmland) de heter Hällnäs sanatorium :) . Men vet dock inte om man fortfarande kan besöka de :/ Vad heter detta sanatorium som du var i ? Som du gjorde denna video på? ^^

[@mickiiz91]

ok är det lätt att ta sig in ? :) får man gå in?? (lagligt syfte)

[@SMOKEYoriginalHD]

Very cool.. Nice to watch these kind of videos ^^ What was the ending song? I was searching for "akira yamaoka" but could not find this one. Thank you Edit: Found it "Room Of Angel" ^^

[@OlavXO]

You are right:) and thank you for the compliments:)

[@vinjakcoola9347]

Olav XO the one,at the bottom of the stairs

[@OlavXO]

Christopher Paille ah, good:)

[@natansolbic687]

And whats the name of the place

[@9157file]

Sandträsk Sanatorium

[@ElfHybrid]

en eneste klage. y comic sans, bro ;) Bortsett fra det, veldig bra.

[@OlavXO]

Takk for feedback:) Jeg skjønner ikke helt hva du mener med "y comic sans". Hyggelig at du liker den:)

[@ElfHybrid]

hvorfor akkurat comic sans fonten?

[@OlavXO]

ElfHybrid Ah nå skjønner jeg. Fonten heter ikke comic sans, den heter chalkboard, hvertfall på Mac, mulig den ligner litt:) Jeg har faktisk fått feedback tidligere også på at det er et rart valg av font så dette er noe jeg skal tenke på neste gang jeg redigerer. Tusen takk for at du tar deg tid til å komme med feedback uansett:)

[@ElfHybrid]

var dønn sikker, nuvel^^

[@emmyr8795]

wow i guess u are from Sweden? if u dont are im going to write in english!!! is it okay to visit this places? :o.... are you really alone???? seems to be verry scary to be alone!!! and were is this? :)

[@OlavXO]

+Emmy r Hey:) I`m not from Sweden, I`m from Norway:) Places are always ok to visit if you don`t mind taking the risks. I am alone a lot of the time yes, but in this sanatorium I had 2 friends with me.

[@emmyr8795]

+Olav XO wow really cool!!! have u been at a place were it's paranormal activity???

[@OlavXO]

No I haven`t.

[@simonokmark9408]

är detta broby senatorium?

[@OlavXO]

+Simon Nordström Nei det er det ikke.

[@natansolbic687]

what happened there?

[@OlavXO]

+Natan Solbic It was a Tuberculosis Sanatorium. A remote place where they treated people for this illness. There was no real cure before the 50`s so they isolated them in places like this, and treated them to healthy food and lot`s of fresh air in hope they would get better.

[@JOAmusic]

Awesome

[@OlavXO]

Thanks, buddy:)

[@ChaosRat161]

Your reflection at 2:15 fucking scared me so bad.

[@OlavXO]

My bad:) sorry. Thanks for watching though:)

[@Robkjaer]

This was scary!

[@christopherwatkins1558]

Yup scary but surprised that not much of the place is decaying and not much vandalism which is another awesome thing so you could see what it was like before it was abandoned

[@OlavXO]

+Twist Films Thanks for watching though:)

[@OlavXO]

+Christopher Watkins I agree, I love when there is little/no vandalism.

[@MsSilfur]

Har du vært i Luster Sanatorium? Anbefaller å skjekke set opp!

[@OlavXO]

Jeg har vært der ja. Har vært i mange sanatorier siden jeg begynte med UE:)

just by chance you could pick up voices, I wouldn't add the music or effects...

[@joshuadell3279]

This gives Verrukt vibes

[@kaythisan4579]

Looks like there's still a bit of life inside that building, as in, it's still in pretty good condition

[@OlavXO]

True that, my friend, true that. Thanks for watching.

[@kassieaheinen7432]

[@kristofcsanyi8769]

You weren't even scared?? *_*

[@OlavXO]

Nah man. I love walking around in these abandoned places. It`s so peaceful. Thanks for watching.

[@kristofcsanyi8769]

Nice! Im planning on exploring an abandoned sanatorium too... Only with a friend tho

[@OlavXO]

Cool, make sure to document it:) Be careful, bro:)

[@kristofcsanyi8769]

Thanks m8! :D

[@DaisyHead666]

you should have used Metallica Welcome Home (sanatarium) for the song

[@OlavXO]

+BioLizard Venom That would have been so cool. I love that song. Only problem is I don`t think Metallica`s record company would appreciate it so much:) Thank you for watching:)

[@tonynordahl974]

Unknown cameraman har også vært her......

[@OlavXO]

Wow, det visste jeg ikke. Han er jo virkelig stor i USA. Har du link til videoen hans derfra?

[@tonynordahl974]

Skal prøve å finne den igjen, den lå her på youtube etsted

[@andban92]

YOu where there on you own?! Are you crazy? :D

[@OlavXO]

[@mikewhipkey6863]
