Such an excellent video. I’ve always wondered about the layouts of buildings while waiting for the train. A sincere thank you for the excellent work!

I happen to be on one of the construction details some years back before the first restoration. The bare bones of this place was crazy to demo/remove. You could feel how heavy the air was. Intense 2 month job for sure!

[@peterjb49]

So very well done! I also enjoy my drone and in addition, worked for 19 years at the Binghamton Psychiatric Center.

I live like 7 mins from there me and my friends grew up going there at night no feeling like being in the dark and being at the main hospital on the hill and how massive it it

[@bignateliving4056]

Wow. I recently shot the Riverview Mental Health Hospital in BC on foot, but this is one I need to come shoot and walk around soon. Thanks!

[@EmpireDroneWorks]

yea this one is really unique as the structures and grounds are all pretty well upkept.

[@dimidrone]

Nice footage and an awesome place to visit! Love so huge and abandoned stuff!

My mother grew up in Yonkers in a cold water flat with eight brothers and sisters from what I remember one brother was born handicapped or impaired and back then people didn't know any better and this is where they sent him. Wingdale.

Breathtaking. I love how the sky was overcast, it really set the mood. I hope this property can be completely saved. 💖

[@BikerGeek]

Awesome work. I wish I lived back east. Here in Arizona it's cactus cactus..occasional ghost town, sand...cactus..etc. etc.

[@quentin536]

I'd love to go at least somewhat explore this place but now that's it's getting put back into use it may be difficult. It is nice to see some light finally being shed on old brick buildings like these though

[@PhilBaileyChannel]

Chilling, spooky and awesome!

I was here in 2001 till 2002 . Division for youth dfy . Very different feel. But some of the best sleep I have ever had in my life was behind these walls. I was released to the group home from here at 16 . Before here I was in Tryon in Johnstown. Also another dfy facility. From 13 to 15 yo.

Wow.

[@Toxicstudioinc]

Well executed shots!

[@elliotttaney6100]

I worked in this facility all the buildings are connected via an underground tunnel system

Awesome work man, my friend got trespassed in 2009 just by stepping on the part were it said being watched by cameras. Six cops showed up and I said to them God damn just putting his foot on the grass..

[@EmpireDroneWorks]

That's unfortunate. Did he ever successfully make it in

[@FILMS1982]

@@EmpireDroneWorks nope he was trespassed for life from the owner

[@dylansnyder6710]

How do you get in? We’re going tonight

[@EmpireDroneWorks]

Dylan Snyder not entirely sure , have never been inside .

[@marcoaf18]

Hey man did you ever make it in? I'd love to know

[@marca17]

There is a road that connects to the Appalachian Trail. I was hoping to make this into a hike. Were you successful in making it in?

[@EmpireDroneWorks]

@@marca17 thats what i did, i hiked to the road that leads down. I never went inside though.

[@marca17]

Empire Drone Works thanks for the feedback

[@Itsaboutthewaterlife]

Slick.

[@howielisnoff]

Great video! In addition to drugs, the movement to deinstitutionalize mentally ill people was well under way when this hospital closed in 1994. Some of the techniques they used on patients were medieval and amounted to torture. Many people dumped out onto the streets ended up homeless or in prison. Some were placed in community homes.

Hospital linen staff brat 1960's. Trespassed everywhere in S, Dutchess.
