The Abandoned Orphanage of El Paso 4K

Poking out of the desert is a mysterious building. With an unknown history, we try to uncover it's truth.

[@NobodyImprintRecords]

Oh this place! This is where TV Tribe held its first renegade rave in 2002 then a few more until it got hot. We had planned for a desert location but it was extremely windy so we had to change venue last minute so we found this place by driving all the way down Zaragoza. This was a model home for a cement company.

[@rossmcgee7066]

I live in el paso almost all my life and never seen this place

[@TRUMP.FOREVER]

@@rossmcgee7066 i feel the same way about my home state of NC.... like dang where did that place come from..Lol

I'm the same way about my home state of NC like dang where did that place come from... Lol

[@adrianavitia8517]

We used to throw parties there back in High School lol

[@monstertrucklover2395]

When i went to riverside high school my classmates made a spooky movie here back in 2017

[@mangledaway]

Lived in El Paso all of my life and I barely knew about all these places lol. Any advice or tips for planning trips to these locations?

[@isaiahtelles7099]

It's near horizon just take pellicano all the way down from American high school go down to a desert path and just right there but don't go to far if you take the wrong path it can lead you all the way to Montana

[@Chevyssboy138]

Ima go rn hahah

[@recoilbandit5368]

Sadly this abandoned orphanage has been broken down and is now the location of a few more businesses

[@mangledaway]

glad i got to experience going before it got broken down @@recoilbandit5368

Been there many times, during the day but mostly at night. Never heard or seen anything paranormal or out of the ordinary. It’s not an old structure at all. Looks to be a duplex or apartment as the video suggests. A lot of trucking companies/yards nearby, possibly a housing project that was never completed. Cool place, recommend going with a handful of people though.

[@heroknaderi]

That’s a cool find. So interesting to see what this building once was.

Indeed! If you're interested, check out our other content!

[@manuelluna216]

I live here in El Paso Texas. Thanks 4 sharing

[@Boldbandit]

Had always heard it was an orphanage but never thought it was true. Hard ragers went down at that location lol

[@SilenceAccount]

i've been wanting to explore this orphanage for a while now, do you know the exact place its in?

[@samuraijae]

If you go all the way down darrington road in horizon City, going away from the Pockets on eastlake Blvd, and you make a right turn at the end of Darrington, stay on the dirt road and it should take you straight to it

[@SilenceAccount]

@@samuraijae ahh perfect! Thank You Very Much

[@kristuferkrunowski4739]

Another way would be by taking pellicano. It turns into a dirt road and you'll pass the former airport that still store planes. It'll be on the right side

[@IllDrowsy]

Off some dirt road. In thr middle of the desert

[@julietvalentine2467]

@@samuraijaeis it true that it’s not there anymore?

[@sniperems1309]

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE LOCATION OF THIS IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR 2 HOURS NOW.

[@jbarah05]

It’s in horizon you need to do down pellicano dr heading toward horizon you’ll pass the jobe concrete factory then there will be an end of the road and it only be a dirty road. (31.7261379, -106.2051213)

I have passed this place hundreds of times and always wondered what it was.

[@grgh8]

could you elaborate?

[@KoalaTContent]

@@grgh8 Probably drove by it on the rode as a local

[@jordom1416able]

We used to airsoft there back in the day, day and at night. Good times, good times.

[@spawnchita]

is there photos when it was an orphanage or whatever it was before it was abandoned

[@sherflores8491]

Anybodu know where its located at?

[@IllDrowsy]

I went here the other night. This place is sketchy asf. But it's falling apart like crazy

[@Chevyssboy138]

Where is it send the address

[@raywills4709]

This location has now been demolished to make way for a new residential neighborhood.

[@itsjuniorboy1005]

One of my friends went missing when we went to that place. 4 days later he was found in the same place were we at.

[@idkmyelf3364]

Lmao

[@robertslabe9832]

Where is it located, I would like to see it

[@kristuferkrunowski4739]

Pellicano bro. It'll turn into a dirt road. You'll pass a property that has planes and it'll be on the right side.

[@TRUMP.FOREVER]

But gunshots are how we communicate in NC as well

[@rlucerin28]

It was a masonry company then a sand and gravel pit. That building was the previous owners home.

[@egyptmachine]

Do you know the name of any of those businesses?

[@rlucerin28]

So you found nothing? did you check with city to see who owns it?

[@jay-dee5.562]

That’s right where Darrington and Pellicano meet in Horizon. I live in that area and go passed that building when I go shooting. Always wondered what it was.

[@junior7344]

Dose anyone know the address??:)

[@samanthagonzalez5619]

I always had a bad feeling about the orphanage building

[@naosapleelpaso]

Be nice to know where this is in El Paso.

[@themodernfrontiersmen]

Apparently it has been demolished

[@thestartv6886]

i know this is an older video but those gunshots you hear people in El Paso go to the desert for target practice.

[@dianaasf7128]

i came here about a year ago and people put a bunch of kids clothes and stuffed animals in the building lol. definitely made it a bit more creepy

[@themodernfrontiersmen]

That must have been spooky!

[@Sneeky_dz]

I think its just an old building...the real abandoned orphanage is called "hole in the wall" and its guarded by security in san elizario next to some fields

[@regentmad1037]

who the hell would put an orphanage in san eli. place is inasne. i graduated from there

Isn't there like a underground abandoned bus in el paso too?

There is, and we filmed about it last year/ -Caleb

The underground bus is haunted, played oujia board there as well and got some orbs. This was probably 6 years ago tho

[@mangledaway]

@@DidIDoThaat bro aren't you afraid of demons or spirits? wouldn't that prove that some higher power out there exists?

@@mangledawaymmm afraid?? Definitely not something has always drawn me towards it since I was real young. Possibly just used to little things that happen.

@@DidIDoThaat Little bit yeah, we know nothing about these entities or their intentions.

Do you guys know anywhere else me and some friends can go investigate? We’ve been trying so hard to find somewhere we can investigate! We tried the famous hotel that burned in elpaso to sneak in but it’s beyond boarded up and hard to climb in….

[@themodernfrontiersmen]

As far as I am aware, this place was demolished and the old cement plant is locked up now.

It’s demolished now 😂

Everything is Ah.. and really cool.. Are you there to buy the place? Or can you show some respect for the unfortunates that somehow ended up there, and are not any longer..? 🤨

[@themodernfrontiersmen]

I don't understand what you mean. Every upload is made with respect to history and those of the past. In regards to the legend of his building, it is not true. In reality this was most likely just an unfinished condo.

[@samanthaflores289]

Why You Talk Like That

[@brodg]

Its not an orphanage. Relax cherry boot😂

[@themodernfrontiersmen]

We state the urban legend behind the building in the documentary, but go on to discuss what it actually most likely was. The timestap is 6:32 and 8:55 -Caleb
