Forest Haven Asylum: Forever Home of the Abandoned and Forgotten | Unexplained Cases (2021)

- When one hears the word “asylum” … especially when paired with “haunted” or “abandoned” … dreadful images come to mind of decaying buildings, sinister hallways ... forever home of the abandoned and forgotten.
Forest Haven Asylum in Laurel, Maryland, has all of these and much more. Walking these grounds, Rick Garner felt a similar sadness...the kind he felt at Pennhurst but perhaps something more...something darker.
The facility opened in 1925 as the District Training School for the Mentally Retarded. It was a farm-like institution designed to provide patients with useful skills. In 1928, the first of many on-ground burials occurred. In 1963, the property was named Forest Haven but during that decade, the property would begin its decline. Funding was cut, the population of residents grew to include people with epilepsy, but the worst happened in 1974 when a nearby orphanage called “Junior Village” closed and its 20 souls were moved into Forest Haven.
Think about that for a moment....people with epilepsy - a brain disorder where nerve cell activity is disturbed causing seizures - and orphans - placed in an overcrowded, ill-equipped, and dysfunctional facility. Aspiration Pneumonia in patients was common. It was caused by patients being fed while lying down. Physical, mental, and sexual abuse were rampant. Patients were hit with belts, switches, and baseball bats. Teeth were knocked out. Even in death, patients could find no peace. 389 were buried in a mass grave on the property. Erosion eventually uncovered some of their remains.
With all these accounts, it’s no surprise that Forest Haven is rumored to be extremely haunted and is frequently explored by urbexers. Mike from Charm City Paranormal has explored Forest Haven so many times, he refers to it as his second home.
On Halloween 2020, Mike led the Unexplained Cases team through some of the decaying buildings of Forest Haven. The paranormal evidence we collected is compelling but we encourage you to be the judge.
ABOUT UNEXPLAINED CASES:
The Unexplained Cases team is focused on preserving history while documenting the strange, paranormal and unexplained. What separates Unexplained Cases from other paranormal groups is that Darren Dedo and Rick Garner, who today are recognized as early pioneers of the “ghost hunting”
genre, have over 35 years in broadcast radio and television news and have won a Southeast
Regional Emmy and Associated Press awards. Over the past few years, the UC team has grown to add Michael Chinn
as Lead Investigator and Researcher in addition to having the privilege
to collaborate with several renowned paranormal investigators, including
A&E’s Ghost Hunters Daryl Marston, Mustafa Gatollari, Brandon Alvis,
Brian Murray, and Richel Stratton, as well as Malia Miglino from
CZcams’s “Macabre Mondays” and “Grave Hunter”.

My favorite show is back!! Love the investigation, Rick!
Yes, thank you for your support! We’ve got more investigations and open cases coming soon!
I have been here and I always seem to be drawn back here, always a sad feeling in these buildings. Especially in the administration building in the morgue room always heavy feeling and almost feels like everything is in slow motion.
Very accurate description! Let us know If you'd be interested in a collaboration!
Who are the other guys in the video?
Thanks for watching! Rick Garner and Mike Chinn are documenting Mike from Charm City Paranormal. Rick is in the grey hoodie and Mike C has on the cap.
Interesting place..loved the investigation, unfortunately I had difficulty hearing you at times could have been the mask. But awesome nonetheless 💯👍
Thanks for watching and your kind words! Indeed, much of the conversation was behind mask and this is an episode best watched with headphones.
You went during the daytime--any security issues?
We chose to go during the daytime for better videography and for safety. The area is known to have drugs users and unstable folks sleeping there. Plus, hauntings can be documented just as easily in the day as night. This being videoed on Halloween 2020, we also assumed security would be more permitting. We never saw a single officer or car.
@@UnexplainedCases Great! Never hurts to be careful. Thanks for replying. Be safe out there!
@@jeffjerome4805 Absolutely! Safety first. Thank you and we will. Thanks for your support and for watching!
