[@EmilyiscoolMayaka]

Dark Exploration Films hi I love your videos

[@elvispresleygirlfirendwand3007]

Dark Exploration Films babe talk to me I'm lovely

[@cruisingwithwilliam]

i subscribe and give thumbs up!

[@khanscombe619]

I subscribed months bk & thumbs up. I keep coming bk to see & hear Devin explore. (: awesome

[@goldenghxst]

This is by far my favourite exploring channel because you don't talk the entire video, unlike every other explorer. Most people are like "oh my God I think there's a ghost" "wow I feel some negative spirits here it's crazy" so thank you for not making constant pointless commentary.

[@tiki_riot]

Pretty sure the incinerator you passed is an autoclave, for sterilisation, steam under pressure

[@brepaineproductions1769]

Carbamazepine Brand name: Tegretol Anticonvulsant It can treat seizures, nerve pain, and bipolar disorder.

[@lazydavid]

Didn't help my crazy wife

[@WalshiesWoods]

Wow just like the Google search he put in the video after finding them. Amazing.....

[@Meekerextreme]

Wow, you watched the video

[@shonamagouyrk9575]

OMG r u serious about tegretol? I swear my doc gave me that for migraine head aches! SMH she could of killed my ass

[@dionphinchcliffe]

Shona It can be used for migraine headaches and certain types of pain like neuropathic pain, it can also be used to treat schizophrenia

[@RexenPrime]

I dont understand why a place like that would just be abandoned and things like patient files would just be left in there for anyone to find...

[@Tanneritefilledfido]

Ryan Zielke in the great us of a any state run hospital that closes that jus happens. nobody seems to care about how government money is spent. private hospitals are the opposite

[@justcallmeg6980]

Same thing happens in the uk there’s videos on KZbin with uk hospitals with still records needles bags of iv fluid and I even see one with a empty blood bag once.

[@wildchick7290]

Ryan Zielke depending on the circumstances of a hospital becomes dangerous for occupants and staff they have the right for their own safety to leave this means anything can be left behind the hospital built across the old hospital in my hometown left everything including machinery files and even beds even tho we had security outside to stop exploring it was because of mold aspestos and two floods

[@unprocessed_life]

italy also leaves files

[@yaxofossiad]

Private property probably. Even if its abandoned, a bank or insurance company somewhere still owns it. In theory, nobody should be there to find confidential things in the first place.

[@SusieSynth]

LOL Today's Lunch:"Cream of Man soup" I swear thats what my eyes read straight away 😂😂😂

[@21joeyjavier]

Sue Ellen Davis same

[@heavenburke]

Susie Synth I swear that’s what it said

[@michaelpowers3045]

My grandmother had to be admitted here in 1936 until 1939……she suffered a severe nervous breakdown in her 40’s when my mom was born. I often wondered if any of her records still existed.

[@Shannon_Lynn]

Those first posters you showed are the 12 Steps of AA or Alcoholics Anonymous...

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Some of those waterlogged hallways. Perfect movie set!! Amazing explore bro.

[@21joeyjavier]

Harmin vlogs lol

[@dorirodriguez4664]

Me and my bestfriend used to go into abandoned house. I've always wanted to explore places like this but I never have the time and where I live there really isn't anything cool.

[@P1NKM4U5]

those tunnels were actually originally designed to be an Fallout shelter when the hospital was expanded in the mid 60's ...

[@williamjones4483]

"MFD by J.E. McAuley Mfg Co. Chicago 6, ILL." The use of one and two digit city codes predates the current zip code system which was introduced in 1963. These film projectors were made prior to that. Those dates shown are when the patents were issued.

[@vinnied5748]

Your integrity and respect for the locations you are (Documenting) is admirable keep em coming bud..you earned another sub.. Btw.. Rolling the lane that one final time was a must

[@patcat75011]

The building could not have shut down in the 70s considering two things . First the medication you found had an expectation of 96 I think those medication are only good for two years so if that medication came from there then that wing was operable in the 90s and second the breathing bag you found we call them bag valve mask it's to ventilate a patient and that particular one is def from the 90s considering the style of it . The ones used in the 70s and 80s look quit a bit different .

[@Meekerextreme]

The calendar on the wall was 1990...so yeah.

[@xxdublifexxdahlin4208]

He's visited so many aslyums and most of them closed in the 70's and 80's so maybe he got the dates mixed up or didn't notice the calendar

[@shonamagouyrk9575]

Hey it would be EASY for these younger kids to think the 90's was remotely close to the 70's lol..they think 90's is ancient...that's what I'm trying to say lol

[@dionphinchcliffe]

yeah this place was definetly still operating until the 90s, but yeah Shona im only 27 born in 1991 and I still knew what it was like when internet wasnt really a thing yet. I notice a difference in people born in the 90s vs people born in the 2000s, they tend to be a lot less patient for instance because they're so used to instant gratification that the conveniences of modern life give them.

[@mariaeugenia8403]

There were computers inside there, which are much bigger evidence that the place didn't shut down till the 90s

[@apocyldoomer]

I remember Byberry, on the other side of the Blvd, during the very early 80's, I have a few pictures to prove, No video though, Damn, now an industrial park, now only the admin bldg remains, refurbished, how I miss those days!! My fav Urbex explores are the abandoned Loony Bins, the horror, the pain, the misery, you could feel it in the walls, and just the all around feeling of darkness. Great job, humans!!

[@maplemanor]

Here's a great site of abandoned building and such. There is a slew of information here, on Byberry..etc... You can just look at any of the pictures, and feel the pain and despondency opacity.us/site10_philadelphia_state_hospital_byberry.htm

[@Felix_Effex]

+Connect the Dots Great Link! I hope the explorers who made this video take a good look at this site! thanks!

[@maplemanor]

I hope that they do too, but I doubt it, as they haven't answered me, anyways...I'm glad that you like it..I find the site mesmerizing, for some reason..so much information

[@M335h1]

the irony that the patients would do anything to get out of there and we go above and beyond to get into those places after they close. The judge that tried me for b/e at NRPH explored Byberry as a kid!! So he let me go with a warning but he wasn't so easy on my friend whom was the reason we got caught in the first place cuz mofo couldn't listen. First and last explore with that fool lol. Only cost me $200 to learn that lesson lol. Granted reason he didn't go easy on him was because when the cops searched him (and none of us knew he had this on him) he had a WHOLE OZ of weed, and though we are a medical state he wasn't medical and who brings a whole oz with them on an explore? You pre roll a few joints if you smoke and explore, bringing a whole oz, you deserve what you get and we are very lucky the cops didn't group us in with that idiot. He also brought a DS bag that had a GLASS PIPE instead of papers and a really nice grinder..... fool. Since then I pat down and search bags and pockets of newcomers to the group before we leave the vehicles. Five years, 3 days a week, 8-16 hours a day I spent on the asylum grounds and never got caught till that fool. Thankful for a judge who spent his teen years hanging out in Byberry and what were the chances he would be a judge in the district of one of the most nationally famous abandoned asylums. My cover story to the police was actually so good they said it was the best they ever heard and would have believed me had the place not been nationally famous for over a decade and had it not been october its height of activity in the year. They did say I was the fanciest explorer they picked up with my tim hortons hot chocolate in hand and they let me take it in the car with me and didn't handcuff me. The irony here.. this was the only night we hadn't called the police station in advance to give them hints and clues as to when and where we would be on the property. We enjoyed playing games with the on site 24/7 security and the police officers that regularly patrolled the area as their station was on the backside of the grounds and you could even view part of the grounds road system from the station. The reason we alerted them was because in our crew was an ex grounds keeper to the property from when it was still open, yes he was older than all of us easily by 20 years. This meant we had the master key ring. So when they started to chase us we could lock down entire sections, closing them off from us and taunt them. It would take them too long to find the right keys to unlock shit and catch us before we disappeared because they never really had to use the keys. This also meant we got to control what other explorers had access to and didn't have access to. I pretty much called it home but was not part of the project of people who actually got to live on the grounds for one year when it was privately owned and the security was let go, the new owner moved some people into the grounds to keep others out but it had the opposite effect... Since the power house was still operational for most the time we explored it and we had a cable tech in our crew we ran cable into the rec center and projected tv onto a wall from a projector. Less for watching, more for leaving running to spook people that came after us. The countless fake satanic rituals we set up for the ghost bloggers that frequented the place and then being able to read their reactions later on their website compared to what we actually witnessed.... NRPH was my playground, my stage and easily the most memorable time of my life. I hope Byberry was as equally entertaining and memorable for you.

[@johnembree476]

What a gigantic load of bullshit.Do you just really like typing or are you actually under the delusion that anyone in the entire world might even remotely believe such a load of total crap.Nice story though.Fiction can be fun!

[@haharopotato5405]

16:20 the music is "Lilium", theme of anime "Elfen Lied"

[@bennu547]

The theatre area gave me serious Silent Hill Downpour vibes. If this housed an orphanage too, that would be crazy

[@upalevelproductions]

Awesome explore dude. Huge place with so much cool stuff, the projectors and the bowling shoes are crazy. 👍

[@21joeyjavier]

upalevel productions yup

[@pikabamboo4175]

why is there always a chair parked in the middle of the hall so random creepy

[@shannonobrien4766]

Super sad how most of it was demolished in 2018 :(

[@ceasecommed]

That old IBM monitor dates back from early 90s possibly late 80s.

[@21joeyjavier]

James Crawford Jr. ikr

[@emiitchi4232]

I would read what they were doing to the patients

[@michaelboccino5251]

Another Great Video - Always Show the Life Line of the Building ' The Heart Beat - What Made it Run The Power house - The Pulse - I Catch You on the Next Vid' - I Also Mentioned Find the Rx - it Will Tell you A lot '

[@meljet1782]

wow just came across you're vids tonight and thanks! I like em and I'll share for sure

[@noleftynorighty457]

I used to attend this place around 85/86 when I lived in Orangeburg, NY. For English lessons. There was an nice old lady, a nun. Sister Angelina I believe. There was also a church where I received my first communion. That's where I used to attend classes. It was only me. So this center did not completely close ( at least not entirely) during the 70s. It was quiet enormous and creepy though. You would cross paths with extremely ill mental patients. Some were left to wonder around by themselves, without supervision. Some would even scape the center.

[@emiitchi4232]

I can't get over how big these places are

[@Patrock17]

I could go for some creme’ of man soup

[@rob_willz]

Oi Oi 🤣

[@webetuckin]

Very cool. Enjoyed the video. Walking fast AF in those tunnels..lol

[@21joeyjavier]

We Be Tuckin tyn

[@jomichalofsky2203]

I know I'm kinda late to the series but I am enjoying it immensely! Just a side note.....i myself am a Reg. Nurse and I know what most of those things are in the hospitals you visited. Maybe next time ask a Reg. Nurse to accompany you when you go into hospitals as that will enhance your vid both for you and your followers. Just saying.

[@doordieace5high]

Most of the inside of that place looks like it hasn't been renovated since the 1950s.

[@mrmjb1960]

The Children's ward just opened the same year I was put into it 1973! It was recently turned into a set of the HBO Series "Orange Is the New Black"!

[@moonwalker091000]

My favourite part was the theatre. That was so cool!!

The green thing is an Ambu Bag. Gives breaths. Tegratol is a seizure medication. The thing you called an incinerator is an autoclave for sterilizing things. i can't believe they left patients files there. That is so wrong.

[@jackrusselpupper1979]

What a shame to let it go into such despair. Houlve renovated for other uses, such as classrooms for community centers, or college, so on. It’s a gigantic spread, and beautiful land site. I know this because we, my husband and myself, lived in that town. Sad.

[@alliehearst9111]

Great video and great edits 👍🏼👏🏻

[@21joeyjavier]

Allie Hearst yup

[@mbr7156]

it's very cool how you respected patients' privacy... too bad the same can't be said for the people who worked there.... smh

[@wildchick7290]

mbr715 I’m pretty sure who ever left did their job!! If the hippa compliance officer would have found it necessary it would have been destroyed or removed I have worked in several hospitals it depends on current conditions when closing

[@MC-pv2rh]

Using Lilium from Elfen Lied at the end was a beautiful touch

[@NyllaRaee]

Im from this area. Cool to see us finally on the map

[@lisam7169]

Wow the bowling alley is cool!

[@lazydavid]

That medical stuff (sphygmomanometers, crutches, EKG shit etc.) would have been worth tens of thousands at the time

[@buddy8225]

Great video. Just read that the building you were in was sold and demolitioned.

[@AllenMacCannell]

Please go to the Staff Court outside the main gate on Old Orangeburg Road where the abandoned resident residences are. Find 22N please (right side of the square as you stand on Old Orangeburg Road).

[@Starburstluver69]

Y’all should be wearing gardening gloves if you’re touching stuff just in case some things sharpe and cuts you

[@lazydavid]

Amazing that the projectors are only worth $250 (eBay). That's why no one took them... not worth the hassle

[@BFagan]

I hear ya. I remember when I got my first Canon Rebel, 35mm. Damn thing was $950 or so, now you can find them in pawn shops or consignment shops for about $20.

[@natalijan.3811]

Dave B. still 250 isn’t 25 cents lol

[@KeithsReviews]

Other than the fact that they look like they weigh 500 lbs and are bolted down.

[@craftyfox3694]

That mold looks super toxic.👀 Take care.

[@stevegagnon4747]

but what got me was the medicine that had an experation date of 97. that's a bit unnerving

[@davidford4660]

That green bag @ 7:16 in an Ambu bag resuscitator. Its used for C.P.R. It looks like its missing the mask though. The clear tube is used to connect to an oxygen tank. You will see this mostly in Ambulances, or E.Rs. I used to have a nice one in 92. I think it cost me $800.

[@jj5697]

great video. I think The Proper People went to this place to.

[@wingit7602]

Just read up on this place. It has been bought out and demolished and will be replaced with a datacentre. This video is now a bit of history.

[@decayofalberta1520]

I enjoyed the film. The building were use till 1990. Do you know what the building were use for after the mental hospital?

[@stevegagnon4747]

the meters are for taking blood pressure

[@21joeyjavier]

Steve Gagnon your p

[@happylady2747]

Great video 👍👍

[@leonardo1480]

now aren't you glad you was wearing those boots in the flooded basement, cause the last thing you need is contaminants getting in them and trenching your feet! you wise fella!

[@avellgray1273]

Dude i love your videos So cool

[@ManiacalSurgeon]

That’s an autoclave at 7:59 to sterilize instruments.

[@rasclotify]

14:02 Nah, that's just the Patent date, dudes. I have a 1930s landfill in the woods behind my house, and I spend a lot of time digging up bottles, jars, jewelry, car mechanic items, etc. And in those early patent years, they dated everything. But, that's just the date it was invented and put into production. Not the actual date per se that that projector was created, just the year it was designed and got an official patent with the gov. But, those dinosaurs are impressive, too bad they're just standing there, in isolation, slowly, very slowly dying, rotting away. But they sure made things to last back in the day! Too bad they can't be saved. Where's American Pickers when you need em?! And fyi, just looked it up, that projector is worth thousands! Looks like they were produced in the 1930's. That's a treasure right there!

[@lawrenceneuenii3564]

That’s the coolest place I’ve seen y’all been so far

[@mrmjb1960]

When I got of there I vowed "NO MORE!" I was finished with those Spook Centers for Good! That was 50 Years Ago!

[@kpietran61]

The theater was awesome 😎

[@nichole7965]

Nice find.

[@SummerLove217]

The capsules of Tegretol expired in 97... wouldn’t that indicate that occupation continued into the mid to late 90’s?

[@simoneuzbazur]

Is this a Kirkbride kind of Asylum? It seems Huge!! :O

[@user-um5jv7pj2x]

The bldgs were not shut down in the 70's. I worked there in the mid to late 80's . They started to shut down the Elderly ward around 90, than started condescending wards and Drug Rehab Shut down and Homes . Then started moving to the big bldg.

[@Famouswithfrancis]

My possible either Great Grandfather or Great Uncle was listed as an “inmate” here in 1940 then later on again as a “patient” I wish I could find more details about his admission there 😢

[@redjones8010]

What was the piano piece being played in your interesting video?

[@traxxasbro5604]

That “incinerator” was an autoclave. It’s used to sterilize surgical instruments and glassware.

[@stevechamberlin671]

i was a patient for rockland children psychiatric center in new york from 1998-2000 is this that place just want to know

[@MrL4t3]

I hope those projectors were saved and restored.

[@amandaw6951]

Did you find the ECT room

[@Tanneritefilledfido]

those computers are actually worth money in parts. and the walk in boxes if they have refrigerant in them most likely R22 thats worth alooot of money

[@Meekerextreme]

You would have to have the equipment to capture the R22 those machines are not cheap and bulky. Kinda be a pain to drag in there and not be noticed. It's still trespassing. I'm more amazed people are okay filming themselves knowingly trespass, the State who probably owns the land now could after seeing the video charge an explorer even if the intent wasn't to cause harm.

[@justinjacobson794]

True,A gold mine me for the right candidate.

[@glenndraper5760]

How About the Patients that Had Underlying Mental Problem ànd Alcohol Issues I A Graduate of R.C.P.C.

[@tarajones9675]

I was prescribed tegretol for my bipolar a few years ago. Didn't work too well for me. One of MANY pills I've been on over the years.

[@DarkTripods07]

You can actually buy an 1930s Peerless magnarc from Ebay for around, 3,000.00 to 9,000.00.

[@BFagan]

"Twitter fingers turn into trigger fingers". Umm, okay. I don't have or use twitter, but whoever does: is that true?

[@kpietran61]

Your footwear is hilarious 😆

[@excuse.me.sir.]

[@kpietran61]

I don’t want to show names that would be rude. 🥰 love it

[@DiSchmelz]

Aren’t you concerned about breathing in asbestos during your explorations??

[@gretchengould7992]

From what ive gathered, he actually wears a mask when he deems is necessary, i think any explorer should were one though

[@Virus_In_Lullaby]

wow nice explore dude

[@21joeyjavier]

Escape The Wild yup

[@mrmjb1960]

The middle rooms were the places where the kids were served their food! Puke City!

[@fretboardmaster70]

Don’t you guys ever have nightmares? I know I would even though I also have this dark fascination for old abandoned Nuthouses.

[@foxrider2696]

2:49 Whenever it rains. That's is what my basement looks like!

[@susanbrown2909]

They seemed to have everything they needed there,and plenty of space.

[@trevormurphy7041]

I was just thinking watching your video I watch a lot of abandoned exploring videos and the way society is going today I think we should make a world map of these places just in case of emergency like a dictatorship government or the collapse of society I live in Newfoundland and there’s a lot of resettled towns here I have the map for them I say if it’s truly abandoned it’s free to take over are used to work at a pawnshop after 60 days the stuff used to be ours I will consider that the same rule if it’s abandoned and you take it over for 60 days it might as well be yoursThe one rule I consider must make better than what it already is and no companies only people regular people

[@mrmjb1960]

they also had their Police HQ There too not far away from the Children's ward (The 1973 one,not the first 1960's one.)

[@donna24301]

Wow you should go back and see if it’s the same♥️👻♥️

[@victorias.3773]

The condition of the building and the items you found, definitely look like it has been shut down since the 70's. Then you found the pills that expired in '97, and the 90's calendar. I'm just really confused! Lol!

[@21joeyjavier]

UnicornKWO_9077 u lol

[@alexanderweiser8801]

I guess it rather has shut down in 97, who would bring a calendar to a long abandoned facility.

[@christinetheresa7416]

UnicornKWO_9077 u Some of the state hospitals shut down units and buildings but kept others open. Kind of piece by piece shutdowns. At least that happened here in Michigan where there were huge state psych facilities where one lonely building would still be open housing a hundred or so patients while the rest were shuttered.

[@christophercruz8660]

Maybe the most recently closed portion closed in 97 and the rest in the 70s

[@justinjacobson794]

Confusing for sure.

[@nicholewilis9013]

“Found package of medication” 💀😂

[@Ckbtony1983]

those projectors in that condition are worth about 10 thousand a piece

[@justinbennink3926]

MadMax Theroadwarrior ikr

[@babeena_gt_3645]

Your video is from 4 years ago,and you say it has been untouched for 50 years,which is inaccurate . Orange is the new black was filmed there in 2013 ,so the damage you see is actually pretty recent

[@gonarysyes]

This is awesomeeee

[@21joeyjavier]

Issie Ftacos ugly

[@gonarysyes]

Hillary Clinton ugly tu vieja

[@joshhayes3433]

It looks like that patent is from 1937, the projector itself may have been made at a different time.

[@michellecuniff5235]

Is it one of the people? At 4:00 there is a piano

[@paulsolfelt8452]

I admit I have not lost power over alcohol. I have the power to go out and get the alcohol, bring said alcohol home ,then drink the alcohol, and I just got done with this drinkypoo as I watch this video, now I have to pause it for a minute while I go mix another drinkypoo. LoL!!!

[@maniok1977]

This place is like my soul.

[@MzSoCal909]

That green thing he was squeezing is called a BVM used to push air into lungs.

[@516chris]

Did they knock this place down ??

[@user-yh5yk5ch9v]

It looks like respiridone and anti-psychotic and anti-depressive medication. Usually used to treat manic depressive disorder or schizophrenia.

[@devinseaman485]

those pills are crazy !! wow

[@21joeyjavier]

urbanexploration15 yo cf

[@johnembree476]

That was just a patent date on the projectors guys.
