In this episode, we’re exploring an asylum for the chronic insane that dates back to 1865. This facility was the first dedicated solely to those deemed incurably mentally ill in the state. When it opened, it was a big improvement over the almshouses that dealt with these cases before. The facility was expanded in the 1900s and was soon overcrowded. Eventually it closed in the 90s with the move towards deinstitutionalization.

Time stamp 7 minutes 56 seconds that stuff that fell through the floor. If you look to the right of the video, you'll see those bricks of that are in arch. That's a tunnel. Too bad you guys didn't explore that because all those hospitals have tunnels. Maybe one day you go back again and check it out. Great video!
looks like you should have came years earlier
I'm definitely trying this
@@redcrowsadventureschannel
This is a hazard right now, in a few years from now? It will be a ruin.. a death trap!😂😳
How many insane asylum and hospitals do you see neglected and abandoned daily? I really love them the most every time you find them!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Ex-autopsy tech here, the tissue cassettes in the morgue are for histology samples. You cut off a slice of tissue from an organ you want to look at under the microscope and put it in the cassette. The cassettes then go into paraffin wax or get frozen so they can be sliced very thin and put on microscope slides.
and turned into food right?
Yes, exactly what they are for.
Need to open these places back up for the trans folks.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Thank you Ms. Tech MD here appreciate the professional input.❤️
Imagine being the guy that had to move all those cabinets into the room downstairs, only to find out almost 30 years later they never actually used them.
Time minute?
I wouldn’t expect anything less if I had to do that. That’s government work-logic all over it
The trouble is that buying new ones would be very expensive and they go as a capital cost on the books. But selling them off would net only a few bucks per cabinet. So they move their 'valuable' assets and let it sit forever.
What would be so hard about moving cabinets? Put them on a dolly and you're good to go!
It's kind of irrelevant if you got paid. I know it's sucks but that's really what matters. You. Do? A job you get paid you move on.
I like how you guys are still committed to the "chairs just chillin" meme 😃
Agree
I say this to myself sometimes if I see a bunch of unused chairs that are in fact just chillin 😂
Very wild footage, the Morgue was incredible. Looked like a horror film set.
Every time I see an abandoned asylum like this i always get to wondering things like “how many people died here, without even knowing or remembering what normalcy or freedom felt like”. I don’t know that I could handle life in a mental institution ; to me it would be nearly as bad as prison.
I would guess that thousands died here. In the past, many people who couldn’t function in society were housed here against their will. Now that all these places have closed, similar people roam the streets with no home or steady source of food and necessities. I have never been in this category of people. How do you determine what way is a better life.
Normality*
@@skillbopster who cares? I spelled it how I spelled it.
its gruesome. and i am about to enter psychosis
29:45 looks like a hand gripping the roof, mother nature reclaiming what's hers.Tthe mix of urban and nature is always my favorite part!
The hospital where I work was built in 1837. When comparing my hospital to the one in this video, I can't even imagine the annual cost my hospital has to bear just to prevent it from collapsing. Puts things into perspective
Interesting 😮
Keeping the roof in good repair goes a long way toward preserving the structure.
@@poa2.0surface77 Whose labor would you steal to make healthcare free? Sounds like the doctors, nurses, administration, construction workers, energy providers, janitorial and laundry staff, drug makers, pharmacists, just for starters.
The about of safety inspections and Brock work that has to be done is probably insanity.
Buildings are expensive as hell to maintain. Even after a year of being abandoned they can look like a warzone.
This I believe is the asylum describe in “The Lives They Left Behind: Suitcases from a State Hospital Attic”. It is the Willard asylum in NY and book is fascinating and eye opening on the treatment and criterion used to consign you to chronic hospitalization. The book is highly recommended!
Great video, as always! At 27:25, those cassettes are for paraffin blocks for the pathology. The pathologist would take tissues from the body to examine further and the lab techs would encase the tissues in paraffin and then cut them very thinly using a microtome. Afterwards, they'd be affixed to a slide, dyed and looked at under the microscope!
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
Came here to say they same thing! You work in a lab too? 🙌
@@intheyellowcorner Yes! 😁 Glad to find other lab rats here, too, haha
I would love to see a 30 year timelapse and see how all the stuff gets moved around and how the place changes.
I imagine it would be a lot of wall cracking and falling in large chunks.
Can you imagine the sounds as things fall, cave in. Bet it can get loud.
@@catsanchez5749 it probably scares the people driving by.
I worked in pathology and with a morgue. The ‘tissue-tek’ are what we called “cassettes” it’s what you would put human tissue in that would then be embedded with a wax and then thin slices would be cut from it and placed on glass slides for the doctors to look at under microscopes. 🤓
You guys consistently get the best footage of any urbex channel. I don't watch any other channels because they're not up to your quality. It's just not the same. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.
Same. I don’t watch any other urbex channels. Only the “proper” one!
What is urbex? 🌈 @@spiritmatter1553
The footage is good, don't get me wrong, but what I think really sets them apart is the editing, music and atmosphere they create. It is the closest I can get to childlike wonder. Truly on another level.
Wow. 😮 it always fascinates me how buildings collapse when abandoned for so long. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Right! Meanwhile, 5 thousand year-old pyramid: "I'm Still Standing .. yeah yeah yeah!"
@@yevgeny79 i agree, but who actually know when pyramid were build, it could be 3000, 10000, 20000,... don't believe to much stories invented by human, is not written the year of building, their science way of find out the age is bullshit. Why pyramid still stay today: very good technic of building and using the natural stone(only cut into square), which is already nature so is staying in that way, but still stones could degredee in years, looks like they know what stone should suit.
Because stone lasts longer than a wood structure @@yevgeny79
The "computers" about to fall through the floor are Mohawk Data Systems Series 21 console terminals from about 1983. They're quite rare, it's sad they were probably sent to a landfill. They were somewhat ahead of their time as far as terminals go, and were one of the last generation of mainstream mainframe related products before PCs started becoming the norm in offices. edit: Also, they were designed by Gene Amdahl.
Shit, those are dumb terminals? That's cool as hell, I wonder if the mainframe for them was still there.
Fascinating to see, thanks to the decay, how the red clay bricks were used for structure and not just for a façade as we see now in more modern construction. Really enjoyed getting to see the integration of the wood structure with the structural brick! Many thank yous to The Proper People as always :-D
Those bricks were the back bone to the building. Now the only back bone we have is wood.
@@jwalster9412 Most modern brick buildings have a backbone of steel. The bricks are just decorative.
Loved this video, that morgue was pretty unique. I say this often in your videos, but I thank you for documenting and observing, but not vandalizing.
Yeah I thought the same. I bet it was originally designed to be used with minimal electricity. The cooler looked like it might have used ammonia or propane as a refrigerant.
My mother and Aunt both worked at this asylum in the late 60s. My aunt still lives nearby and worked at the facilities when it was converted into a shock camp (military-style recovery facility for repeat low-level offenders). I recognized it immediately when I saw the pictures. I’ve taken a few tours of the older buildings over the years and was just there in October. I imagine now that the shock camp is closed that most of the remaining buildings will be demolished soon. Glad that you guys were able to do this before it happened. I believe there is supposedly still a theater and a basement bowling alley somewhere on the property in one of the buildings that the shock camp used though I have never seen either. There are also numerous unmarked (numbered only) patient graves on the property. If you guys weren’t aware, there was an exhibit done on a cache of suitcases that were discovered in one of the buildings maybe 10 years or so ago. Short biographies were done on each of the patients that you can read if the website is still up.
Hi!.. South African, here!.. That's so interesting.. I would LOVE to have a convo with your mom and/or aunt about their time there.. The work, patients and just..life over there.. 😊
Is this Willowbrook?
@@svexsal No, it’s called Willard. It’s in upstate New York.
Any interesting stories you could share with us?
If there was away to set a camera up inside of a similar building and have it timelapse over months or so, and see all the small collapses and changes happening in one of those sped up time lapse videos. Would be neat.
Maybe something that remotely uploads. You're not going to keep going back for the footage. They have them for construction sites.
Would be cool but what guarantee do you have that the camera won’t get swallowed up with the collapses? lol
Zero. Same as some vagrant or animal stealing the camera.
18:23 Driver stops to shake off sinking feeling that someone or something is watching them.
Holy crap this place is hella dangerous. That one room you guys walked in on the second floor with the chairs chillin that looked like a meeting. I instantly thought, "Hey it's an AA meeting" lol.
18:10 the sign "This area is off limits"
-uhhh yeah you think? lmao
I love seeing new videos from you guys. I make sure I never miss an episode.
You took a lot of risk getting this footage. More so than in most other videos. At least on camera. Your channel is my favorite on YT of this kind, looking into the past and reminding us that even now the present is ever moving under our feet. Carrying us on the tide of time. Where we will become the shadows, the crumbling walls and empty halls in the light of someones future gaze. Take care where you step alone the way. Thanks for sharing.
You would never get me inside such a precarious building in a month of Sundays! That was, quite literally, insane!
Power plants are my favorites, but I don’t discriminate when it comes to videos done by you guys. You never disappoint!
Power plants feel more naughty, exciting😂 But yeah, those and all the rest- these guys are the best.
That one abandoned asylum in Italy with the thumbnail with the big surgical lamp and the chair beneath it that was really the top in esthetics, cinematic shots and sort of strange nostalgia with the vines overgrown, despite the fact horrific experiments were carries out there.
Power plants don’t depress the shit outta me knowing the horrors innocent people faced
Michael - How does the ceiling look? | Bryan - It's there...
Loved the ambience playing over the last few minutes, too.
Where’s the ceiling? It’s down there 😂
Insane Asylums are my favorite. Thanks Guys!
I've had some of my best memories in them, so totally my favorite too!
mine too
Mine to
Loved this, Thank you for archiving these structures and history. And in two separate seasons too! Beautiful.
I always wonder what it would have been like to have caught this building 20 years earlier. Especially to have been able to see those basement archways without 2 stories of rubble on top of them
The music selection inside the morgue is on point, I really like the atmosphere!
This place is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Your ‘stills’ of the chairs in rooms or the symmetrical window with art or the ‘6 chair discussion’ are truly breathtaking. Sorry, I have added a name to your photograph. Thank you sharing your passion and amazing ability to find beauty in a world of decay.
Edit: I found your Flikr account……I am impressed! You all have the eye for beauty. I am so honored to have found your CZcams channel.
The decay in those first cottages left me speechless. Stunning to look at but very terrifying at the same time.
So glad you two explore as a pair, it terrifies me to think of solo urbex folks wandering in a place like this if something were to just give way.
11:41 "When you go through a doorway and you're basically just outside."
That happens to me too...every day.
Finally! New adventure from proper guys in new year :-)
Unfortunately our two protagonists were caught by the officers. Now they are held at the asylum for an indefinite time. At night you can hear their screams.
Excellent job here, guys. That mint green paint has to be the most institutional-looking colour I've ever seen. May as well just call it hospital green. I just finished watching Session 9, and this abandoned asylum reminded me a lot of the Danvers State Hospital in that movie. Thanks for posting this! It was a dangerous explore for sure, but you guys handled yourselves very well.
Exactly what I was thinking and that movie is one of the most scariest I have ever seen. Not bc of jump scares, gore, ect...its a mess with your mind type of movie. Especially the ending.
all those framed paintings on the wall...imagine decorating your entire house with abandoned asylum artwork, that would be such a vibe.
Those are Grandma Moses.
Nahhhh don’t need that negative juju in my house
You guys should create a compilation video of all the times you've been busted or almost busted by security.
These old hospitals and asylum’s fascinate me. Amazing explore Bryan and Michael. Thanks for sharing your hard work.
Thank god we shut down all the asylums back in the 80s and 90s instead of improving them and enforcing better more humane oversight. It's so much better that we now just dismiss them and let them try to survive on the streets.
"... enforcing better more humane oversight ..." Umm no, many of the people once housed and supported in institutions like this are now living on the street. That is NOT progress it is exactly the opposite!
actually there is now a movement to begin opening up institutions again, as so many are homeless or in prison.
So very sad😢
The upside to closing these institutions is that we save on the costs for housing them and that equals more money for the already wealthy. Of course, that does mean they wind up on the street, homeless, until they are arrested and put into another institution. Ahh, progress!
People with mental illness aren’t meant to be warehouse like defective goods, we belong in society like everyone else
This video is in your top 3 best video's. Capturing the beauty of the decay of these old buildings. Thank you for preserving the history of these gems. Natural decay in 2 seasons was fantastic. The raw beauty of winter and summer changed the looks of the places.
Always a treat to find a new Proper People video when you open YT. You guys have spoiled a lot of urbex channels for me because your camera work is just so much better, I really enjoy it. Thanks!
All of the damage, decay, and pictures are still hanging. What a place!! SO MUCH to see. Thank you once again for a wonderful excursion, loved it❤BUT you scare me! Be safe❤cat x
The tissue tek cassettes are used to embed tissue samples in paraffin wax for sectioning and pathology analysis!
Abandoned places always get me, they have a weird liminal feeling to them and they’re always filled with the remembrance of memories and what was once inhabited by people, now it’s just an empty vessel of despair and sadness.
Truly well deserved for liminal vibes 👌
You know it's gonna be a good day when The Proper People upload a new video.
31:33 “how does the floor look above you?” - “it’s there.” 😂😂
Love the bathroom shot at 44:49. The overgrowth in the window really seals the deal. Also love the old-style globe soap dispenser at 44:58.
Yall Need To Check Out The Abandoned Pillsbury Dough Factory In Springfield IL Before It Gets Torn Down! Its Massive And I Think Yall Could Get A Lot Of Nice Shots There!
Awesome explore!! The amount of decay in these buildings is stunning, it's a real testament to how well they were built that they are even still standing with that much collapse!!
OK, this is the first video where I literally was making a gasping sound when you were walking on some of those floors. We love the videos, don't die making them!
Im proudly from Kentucky, and i actually had the chance back whenever i was as in high school in the early 2000's, to explore the Waverly Hills Sanatorium before it was taken over and basically turned into a tourist attraction. And it was a seriously seriously creepy place. And actually getting to walk through the body chute was just wild. Kept thinking to myself the entire time , " how many before hadnt had the privilege to "walk" out of it like me and my friends were. 😳😬
Easily my favorite channel, the production quality is stunning and the work that goes into these videos is apparent. Awesome video as usual
Another quality production, guys! Thanks for bringing us these films before things get lost forever.
Whew, a lot to comment on this one. First, been waiting forever to see if you guys explored this place and happy you delivered. I had the opportunity to tour this place about 10 years ago and got to see most of the buildings you didn’t film, I believe it was the last time public was allowed in. There was a very cool rec hall with a fully intact projection room with movie names written all over the walls and how the residents enjoyed it, basement had a bowling alley. Got to tour the medical ward and a slightly decaying dorm building, as well as the power plant and fire dept. Highly recommend the book on this place!! Lots of history, including the cemetery across the street. Many people sadly spent the rest of their lives alone here, abandoned by their families since being labeled incurable. Thanks for doing this.
Loved this, Thank you for the vids. Best abandoned content channel on CZcams by far!
I just want thank you guys for many years of solid content. I love that you video a place and create a mood with sound design. You both are pinnacles of the CZcams generation! KUTGW. . .
the wheels on the gurney were probably for van loading. the other wheels likely folded up
Great video guys!! keep up the hard work!
Great explore, guys! I know I've done it before but I just can't help but commend you for your work. The entire production of your videos is absolutely top-notch. From the camera work, narration, color comment to music and editing is so good! You're informative and entertaining at the same time. I look forward to each video and I think have watched every previous one. Entirely professional.
Awesome find! You guys will always be some of the best urban explorers of all time.
Another great video guys! This place was beautiful - that morgue was really something else. Also, your music choices in every video are always on point but you made some great choices in this one in particular - the track over the morgue footage was so haunting. Loved it!
Some of those shots are priceless, the stories they tell, so deep, the imagination runs wild. I had to pause on some of them because my mind was captured. great job.
50 mins Proper people vid lets gooooooooo. Happy new years guys can't wait to see what you have in store in 2024! Hey that rhymed
Awesome video as always The Proper People. It sad to see a historical building falling down like this. I always look forward to watching y'all's videos abandoned place are so incredibly beautiful. Hope y'all didn't have any problems retrieving y'all's tripod.
I absolutely love your videos, thank you for them!!!
Bryan and Michael, you both mean alot to me as friends that I haven't met yet. Ya both take care.
Thank you guys! I know now what to watch tonight! 😊
Excellent work guys. It's always a great video.
You guys nailed it... this is by far the best video I've seen by any and all of the exploration videos. Nothing compares to this of the ones I've viewed, there's a few really good ones but this is so incredibly good on so many levels. The way you took your time and showed so many unique features throughout and slowly moved around pausing on things many other people wouldn't have focused on. I don't want to encourage you taking risks however I appreciate the fact that you do go beyond what others do to get such incredibly footage. I only wish you'd opened the other doors on the body storage but I can't complain because it's absolutely incredible what you captured. Keep up the amazing work and be careful, maybe carry some rope and clips etc+ in case something does happen. 😇
I love watching your guys content, it always gives me a weightless feeling. I just love your voice over!
Ever since Vices series Abandoned Discontinued, I've been watching your videos and I still get the same vibe from this video as when I did when watching abandoned the intro is perfect the back story is mysterious and interesting. Keep up the good work.
Great video. I can feel the history. Thank you for sharing the experience.
That meeting room at 13:10 with all of the different chairs reminds me of scenes from “One flew over the Cukoo’s Nest”…
I like the way you guys have a certain respect and reverence for these places. Great vid thanks.
I have been to a lot of lost places in my life till now. Some of them were like they were left yesterday, some of them had a lot of decay but I would have never ever set a foot into one of these buildings you were in for this video. You did which is more than feckin' crazy but I like to thank you for taking us with you to have a look at long gone times
Bro, I love you guys!!💕 Thanks for everything!💕☮️
I'm so glad that you guys are a bit into lightfixtures as well! I love the cool shots! ❤
Aaaa!! Im so happy there's a new video! Can't wait to watch it!
That window in 18:49 opened better than the windows in my last house. 😂
It's wild how the bottom floors rotted out first. Usually rot comes from the top down. Great explore guys, pretty sketchy stuff.
Fascinating! Love your content, as always!
Great video as usual guys! And also as usual, I remain flabbergasted at the danger you guys willingly wade into, in buildings that decrepit -- without ventilators!
But I'm always delighted to see a new video from my favorite urbexers. 😊
Yet another wonderful video!
Even though a lot of it was pretty much coming down on it's own, there was still enough left to capture the imagination of how things were back then, simpler times, medicine wasn't so advanced, The morgue was super creepy but an epic find. I appreciated the fact that after all this time, there was enough left to feed one's imagination. THUMBS UP!
Thank you for the new explore! This was one fantastic video thank you guys
Keep up the amazing captures of the past Guys. I wait what seems to be years to immerse in you next Vid every time. Thanks a bunch and then some.
It’s always a great evening when I found a new proper people upload. Great video, but so dangerous. I agree, the decay is amazing and beyond repair
Another great video, thanks for sharing.
You guys never fail to capture the beauty of these places no matter how delapitated they are. ❤👏
Thank you guys for another amazing video , I hope you guys post another soon , I look forward to all you’re uploads
Bloody fantastic, as always.
The best places and the best coverage 💯 is the Proper People ! Thanks guys y'all really are the best
Excellent video. Thank you!
You guys are amazing, glad you got out of there in one piece!
Nice video! Splitting up the exploration between winter and summer is not a bad idea! The mood is completely different depending on the season. Very nice! :D
Love the chillin' chairs having a meeting! You guys rock!
Thank you for another amazing video.
Happy New Year 🥳
28:26 I don't want to think too much about what damaging and useless procedures they could have peformed on defenseless "clients", thinking lobotomy. These places were the stuff of nightmares.
100%
Been waiting already too long for new video!
