Noah's video on the Tewksbury Hospital: • The Haunted Insane Asy...
For the very first time on the J-MASS CZcams channel, I embark on a paranormal investigation at one of the most notorious hospitals in Massachusetts! Joined by fellow paranormal CZcamsr Noah Faraday, we arrive at the Tewksbury Hospital Cemetery, also known as "The Pines", in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, ready to search for ghosts and spirits! Truthfully, I myself am a skeptic: I do not believe in the paranormal or supernatural, and have never engaged in any form of paranormal investigation before. However, I respect those who do, and I am always open to trying new things and challenging my beliefs! While at this cemetery with a very harrowing past, Noah shows me the basics of how to conduct a proper paranormal investigation, using special tools such as the spirit box to establish a connection with nearby ghosts. Together, we thoroughly investigate this cemetery in an attempt to discover any spirits. This was truly an intriguing activity, and I greatly thank Noah for bringing on his paranormal investigation skills and showing me how it's done at one of the most disturbing unmarked cemeteries in New England! Definitely check out Noah's channel as well!
Tewksbury Hospital itself is rather interesting. It first opened in 1854 as the Tewksbury Almshouse, aiming to house and assist the poor; in 1866, the very first hospital was built on the premises. By the 1880s, the property had solely become a hospital, treating those with various physical and mental ailments. Tewksbury Hospital's history is notorious for innumerable allegations of patient abuse and mistreatment, and for being an epicenter of misery and suffering. Its most famous patient, Anne Sullivan (tutor and friend of Helen Keller) resided there between 1876 and 1880, describing it as "indecent, cruel, melancholy, gruesome". The hospital would cycle through many different names: first as Tewksbury State Hospital in 1900, then as Tewksbury State Infirmary in 1909, then as Tewksbury State Hospital and Infirmary in 1939, and lastly as Tewksbury Hospital in 1959. By the 1970s, many of the hospital's older buildings would be demolished and razed, but several still remain today; in fact, Tewksbury Hospital is still active to this day, primarily operated by Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Unlike many past hospitals I've covered in New England, this one is not abandoned.
In this video, Noah and I focus on the Tewksbury Hospital Cemetery, also known as "The Pines". This is a primarily unmarked cemetery, home to an estimated 8,500 burials spanning across 3.5 acres (1.4 hectares) of pine-covered woods. While most graves are completely unmarked, only identifiable by arbitrary numbers, it is estimated that most burials vary between 1890 and 1933. There are a handful of marked graves in the cemetery, including John Scanlon (died in 1894) and Federico Alleva (died in 1900). Due to the cemetery's status as a mass unmarked grave, likely filled mostly with patients who suffered at Tewksbury Hospital, it is often cited as a very harrowing and disturbing location. The cemetery is open to the public, and boasts several hiking trails around the property. If you guys liked this video, make sure to stay tuned for more exploration videos all across New England!

YOU KILLED IT!! Good work homie, it was awesome collaborating with you. What a BANGER of an episode as always, rock on 🤘🏻
Ayy thanks bro! It was a pleasure collaborating with you as well, we gotta do more like this in the future!
The introduction is funny 😆 this location is very interesting as well as the supposed paranormal activity
Thanks bro 😂 agreed, the history of this place is so fascinating to learn about!
Interesting video. I honestly never seen many paranormal investigations but I must admit this one is pretty damn cool
Yeah, this was my first time ever doing something like this… it was very interesting! I would definitely be down to try it again sometime.
i've been going to this place alot recently, its really peaceful honestly and a really nice trail. There's an abandoned building right across from it known as the Stonecroft building. I've been inside of there three times now and its honestly the best abandoned place ive been in, if not one of them. There's a bunch of old things left over from the hospital and I believe they also use it for storage now? I had to hop a fence inorder to get in there lol so you might wanna be careful if you ever go in there. This location has a lot of sentimental value for me and I'm really happy you made a video about it, thank you for this!
there is little to no images of the interior of the building online so a video would be helpful, i could also send you images of it if you want!
and yea.. i go on walks here after school on most days and you can definetly feel something there lol
I remember walking by the Stonecroft building before filming this video thinking about going inside, but unfortunately I didn’t… I’ll definitely have to make an effort to explore it very soon then! Sounds like a dope spot!
nice video Jmass also Hi Noah nice to see you again lol beautiful history in this video too hope you guys had fun! kiddos!
Thank you! We had a great time filming this video, it was a lot of fun!
@@j-mass i bet filming with Noah is always fun 😂 the begging was the best tho extremely funny
There are a couple abandoned buildings at the hospital but u can only get into one. The one u can get into is the gaint stone one that's tucked in the back corner by the farm with all the windows. I would be very careful if u decided to go there but its still a really cool spot. There's a lot of cool stuff in that building.
Oh yeah, we actually walked by that one during the filming of this video! While I didn’t go inside, I’d love to check it out more in-depth sometime!
@@j-massI've been in that building twice and its the most beautiful abandoned building I've ever been in. Inside has a bunch of old hospital equipment and random objects that are really well preserved but just to let u know I believe that place does have police guards, so if u decide to go in be very careful.
Got it… thank you so much for the information! Sounds like a fascinating spot to explore!
You're welcome! It is a super cool spot. I don't know if you've been before but Iron Horse Park in Billerica (which is the neighboring town) is another cool spot in the area. Its an abandoned rail road station.
Yep, I’ve been there-one of the best bandos I’ve explored! I actually filmed a video there last year for the channel!
JMASS🙌🙌
I appreciate the love man! 🙏
Speaking of hospitals you should checkout out the old Danvers state hospital it became apartment complex.
I love Danvers! Been there a bunch! I’d love to do a video on the cemetery there as well someday.
I live right down the street from this cemetery. I went today people put vodka and rum on Federico’s grave. And there’s a big grave for a one year old baby. It’s completely depressing to go and walk through.
Yeah, it’s a very sad and somber place… really makes you feel heavy walking through it when you know the dark history.
JMASS have you ever heard of Medfield State Hospital? Great location near Boston.
Yep, I’ve been there before! Such a cool spot, and I love how people can legally explore the whole campus!
I've been working at the hospital since 2006. I heard some of those graves are mass graves. All records from 1899 or 1900 down have been destroyed. These people have all been lost to time.
Ann Sullivan isn't buried there but her little brother, Joseph, is.
Interesting information… thank you for the clarification!
Can you visit another cemetery??
I definitely will again someday!
Hey! I live near the area and was wondering if you wanted to collab at some point? Cheers!
@@cherrycintage Thanks for tuning in! I’ll definitely let ya know if I’m ever in the area again!
