Who came from MrBallen’s vid 😂😂
ME BAHAHAHA
Me lmfao
I was looking for this
um I did.
I too came after watching señor McBallen. This place be looking creepy as hell
A viewer just pointed out another creepy thing that I missed. Look at where the door handle should be on the emergency exit door at 9:13. Whoever was in here was behind that door watching me through the hole. You’ll see them quickly move off to the right. (And some of you are asking me to go back at night? Haha!)
+This is Dan Bell. If you noticed that while filming what would you do? I'd probably run like hell!
+Gorothbalion The party would end.
+This is Dan Bell. My Friend, you are the second John Carpenter! Good job! You litterally made me shit my pants, hahaha OMG! MORE PLEASE!!
+This is Dan Bell. Wow, yeah, you weren't alone. Woof....that's crazy-spooky!
+This is Dan Bell. Just re-watched. Yikes!!!!! I'd a ran like hell!!
10:56
Swear to God someone says "I was shot right there."
I HEARD IT
Dude I heard it too!
WOW I heard it
Mad EVP .Clearly heard that. Good catch.
Heard it too!
This is single-handedly the most breathtaking architecture and design I have ever seen in an abandoned building. With that said, I'm glad you survived this day and have lived on to be my CZcams therapist.
There is a french ghost hunting show called Dead Crossroads you should check out. The ghost hunting part is B.S. but the buildings are amazing - all old, abandoned and awesome. It's streaming on amazon.

Look up the proper people as well. This is honestly why I watch these vids. I love seeing how good the trades used to be in the past. As the now modern look just isn’t as impactful
God... He couldve been murdered there... No one would ever know... I hope he had a pocket knife
@@engihere5434 he keeps pepper spray with him when he goes out
@@ManateeMaiden oh thank god
This may be the creepiest urbex video I've ever seen
PROPER PEOPLE =)
+The Proper People Hey guys!
+This is Dan Bell. battery exploding is hauntings with strong strong presence please go back wow energy was high and feeding off you
7:12 who was with you just outside the front door? that wasent your shadow came from the ne way at front door you wer se
+Laid Back He explained that in the beginning of the video.
After watching this video..I think you should change your name to Dan Balls.
Fat Boy, Hahahhahahahahaha thats a good one and so very true!
😂😂So true.
Dem Balls would be better
Antonio Perez have you?
That’s funny thanks for that laugh
At 6:46 are we just going to ignore after 5 years that his camera battery exploded randomly out of no where.
Old batteries do that when they get too hot. I have had batteries explode on me and that's why it is important to replace them every so often even if they seem fine.
@@samikay9599 My old PC's motherboard battery blew up after a lightning strike and we later found out the CPU and 90% of the components spiked to 110 degrees Celsius.
jay miller I think your kind of a fucktard
Repeated recharging and high intensity use of a battery, especially if it runs a high temperature, causes tiny amounts structural damage to the battery. Given time, this adds up and the battery can fail, and in this case, explode, or burst. Heat damages things, so yeah, batteries are bound to fail at some point even if its brand new, this can happen.
That's why when ghost hunters have times where their "batteries just cut out" or stop working when they put in fresh new ones, or recently recharged, its just defective and bad batteries.
@@darkevilazn no shit all rechargeables do that, I was just saying that as it's just some random thing that occurred once out of all of their exploration videos I've watched. Didn't need your engineering degree to figure that one out
11:00 there’s some weird shiny ball (looks like camera lens) in the cupboard that you can see in the top right of the door frame
11:20 it’s no longer there
I think the guy who whispered actually was hiding in there.
Dude! It's not a ball, it's a big camera lense, one of those old VHS cameras.
@@LumocolorARTnr1319 That's what i was thinking, because i went frame by frame and the last we saw of the little reflection was around 11:12. So between 11:12-11:20 they had pulled the camera back in. They are most likely hiding off to the left. The speaking is inaudible at best but I definitely can tell its a very wooden resonation of their voice. I think this person was scared to be found honestly but its still creepy knowing that someone was lurking around you.
Why are people not talking about this more it’s hard af to catch but when you do it’s clear as day. Impossible to say it’s anything else
I caught this too and had to read through the comments to find something on it. It definitely looks like a camera lens.
Dan: There's a clip coming up... You won't miss it
Me: *Misses it*
Bambi Rose right. Me too at first. It took forever for me to see it.
Totally missed it. Had to come to the comments to see what the time stamp was. Ll
Tina S what's the time stamp? A
7:07
I missed it to💁good job 👍👍I meant you guys did a good video.Im late it's 2019
That building is so tragically beautiful, I gasped at some of the architectural details, I wish that it could be restored and re purposed.
Me too! It's sad when such beauty gets abandoned and falls downhill.. And many of the older places was built better than they're bulit today.
It is such an incredibly beautiful building, I was very saddened that it had been allowed to fall into such disrepair, now I'm no expert, but It looked to be structurally sound, there weren't any obvious cracks in the foundation or support walls, I didn't see any cracks or holes in the ceiling and it didn't appear to be leaking, amazingly most of the windows shown were intact, from what I can see on the video, most of the damage seems to be cosmetic, perhaps it is salvageable, I hope somebody buys it and fixes it up.
Me too! Such an amazing building. Where is this?
@@annam.6661 Gundry's Asylum, Baltimore, Maryland
IKR, that stain glass skylight alone, but there is so much in this place that would be gorgeous if it was restored.
If they do not want to restore it, whoever owns it could salvage a lot of what is in here and sell it for a great deal of money.
All that stained glass left behind! Breaking my heart.
And how the roof stained glass is all ruined and melted. Someone spent their good time making that, plus I just think all old things deserve the utmost respect
Ohh I know .. all that stained glass is absolutely beautiful if ever that building was to be torn down someone needs to really go in there and save alot of that beautiful stained glass and I also seen alot of other beautiful finishings that could be refurbished!
I wish I had the money to buy this place and restore it
If walls could talk I wander what horror stories they would tell.
If walls could talk, it would scream.
Only walls know the full story

When your introduction commentary stopped, the first thing that I thought was, "Please don't leave me!"
Thumbs up so others can see. Add your sightings below as a reply
Sightings I noticed in order
6:47 battery explodes sounding like jizz
7:04 massive shadow fleeing door as cameraman turns around down the stairs. Most likely the battery explosion alerted him to the camera man's presence and he came to see what the noise was. Also the motion the hand of the shadow made appeared to make it look like someone smoking a ciggie as his hand gestured away from his mouth either that or he was telling someone next to him to "shhhh."
8:55 windows is blocked by a person peeping through it who flees then the windows becomes see through again. Could have been the camera light causing an illusion
9:12 Doorknob hole is covered then someone flees. Someone was peeping through it watching the cameraman until he came closer as the hole becomes visible. Also the door is heard making a shut noise.
10:13 as cameraman turns around to scratch mesh a man wearing a kkk hoodie with holes cut out at the eye sockets is observing him then flees. [*Edit* I read your comments: the KKK comment was a joke. I am not indicating it is a real Klan member just joking at the appearance of things for kicks. Thanks for your concerns *Edit*]. Could have been a pillow case with holes cut out for the eyes.
10:55 blood on the floor is from a possible childbirth (theory expanded upon later)
10:56 Someone says "let's get'em?" Then I hear a second voice say "lets go get'em!"
10:56 there is some shadow figure that appears like a deformed "shadow head" with glowing eyes. I really could not make out the entire head but it is there in the door when he looks away from the blood on the ground. Look in the second door. He zoomed in on it so I know he saw it. Right there on the floor. It might be an ilusion some sort of reflection was glowing like an eye but it doesn't look like a human head but thats the first thought that came to mind "deformed shadow head." As soon as he enters it vanished. You can't see it on the floor anymore and the scene cuts away. Oddly enough it only appears after the men downstairs say "let's go get'em." Those men were following him with a pillow case on their head because he had a camera. They were concealing their identity to rob him. I believe they wanted to rob him because he had thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment. I still can't tell if they were smoking. Dan would've smelled the tobacco. He was telling the other criminal to be quiet. They were going to Rob Dan. He is so lucky he left ok. The video was amazing. I feel like he didn't even realize it until the comments told him how bad he had it in there. They will never have a good name if they hurt Dan because he knows the police. I hope he stays safe. I don't believe those are paid actors at all. This was very real. Thanks for the video Dan.
12:38 Expansion of 10:55 childbirth theory crayon scribbles on wall are from the child that was born from that bloody mess in 10:55
The entire time they were circling around the camera man watching his every move!!!!!! Creepy that he didn't realize this. It took me several replays to catch them all and I'm sure I've missed a few things.
you're the man!
Cpt_Ghost in the night version of this video he actually found pics of a woman a man with a baby. There was also a hand drawn happy mothers day card on the floor he filmed. I strongly believe the blood is from a childbirth. Wow what harsh conditions to have a kid in. Imagine if he met the ppl & did a go fund me to help the family financially where we all donate a few dollars.
I was going though this video just thinking to myself, "No, no, NO, why is he even in this place without a friend?" This list is spot on, the doorknob hole is about the freakiest thing I've ever witnessed in a video like this, because there's absolutely no mistake someone is mere feet from him, and also aware of his presence. At any rate, I've seen a ton of these urban exploration videos, but this one is actually difficult to get through. Dan doesn't seem oblivious, as he even monologues that he's aware something is going on, but too many signs of life there that he probably missed until he watched the video.
YOu have some very sharp skills to notice those things, but where in the shot at 10:13 was a kkk man? I couldn't see anything! (btw that keyhole scares the fuck outta me)
I LOVE NUTMEG :] 10:56 somebody said I was shot right here. Not Let's get em
This reminds me of an unnerving experience I had photographing an abandoned greenhouse. I was walking around the outside for a while because it was so overgrown I had a tough time finding a way inside. There was a hole I could barely fit through and it was so quiet it seemed vacant. As soon as I got in, a dirty woman with no teeth came out of nowhere and followed me in blocking the exit. She asked what I was doing and I could tell I’d stumbled in on her drug hideout or something. Played it cool and told her I was doing a photography assignment for school to which she demanded to see my pictures. At the time I was too naive and overconfident that I could overpower her if I had to so I showed her my pictures. It changed her demeanor and she wanted to show me around. That’s when things started teetering on sketchy cause she started leading me through the greenhouse to a connected shed and 3 or 4 people started walking toward us out of the darkness. I kind of slowed down not wanting to get trapped and I think the lady sensed I was uncomfortable cause she told the other people to go away and she was helping me with a school project. They had a pretty sweet little hideout in a creepy yet cozy way. I ended up holding my nerve and taking some interiors and portraits inside their crack den but really I just wanted to get out of there. My teacher was fascinated by the pictures but also made me stay after class to lecture me about being safe. To me it’s one of those “because I didn’t die it was fun” experiences and spurred my interest in abandoned urban exploration. I just make sure to go with someone these days...
I'd think I was dead the second I heard/saw her.
This building is creepy because it is in such a state of decay, but you can see the hints of beauty from its former glory. It really is quite lovely and would be such a shame for it to be lost. I wish that it could be restored, preserved and given some love.
Honestly, it's probably squatters, druggies, etc. That's why a lot of "ghost hunting" shows have the police do sweeps before they go in. There's actually an episode of Ghost Hunters where they missed a dude and he stole some equipment and ran off.
Rebecca Burchette, Zak Bagans always had the cops check out the factories and buildings they would go in at night time first!
I wouldn't even want to go in a place like this as an armed officer.
Yes exactly & don't go alome!!! Ever make sure you have a gun!
“I’m constantly on guard”
Also him: misses man in the door frame 🤣
I would agree but when the shadow very clearly moved quite a bit it made literally no noise at all & his microphone was picking up every bit of sound
I have had somebody follow me on a walk through as well. I stumbled upon an abandoned resort in the Catskills one January when it was unseasonably warm, and let myself in through an open window. After checking out the downstairs I went up to the next floor to start looking at the guest rooms, when I started to get a really eerie feeling. Realizing I was entirely unprepared, nobody knew where I was, and that I had parked way out of the way basically in the woods (the whole place was overgrown), I decided to bail. Once I was downstairs though as I was walking back to the window I looked down at the wood floor, which was covered in condensation. There was a second set of footprints following mine. Needless to say I was horrified! That was one of the last times I did any of this type of stuff. Especially as a female, it’s hard to justify going solo after having an experience like that. I was lucky.
It's already very dangerous for men, imagine what it's like for women.
Yea, it sucks that even in normal situations I still have to be ready to protect myself. Most men won't do the thing, but some will, which is terrible...
I always go with my husband. We are in PA and have the poconos with a few lost resorts. Penn hills was by far the sketchfest. We both have carrying permits and I wouldn't go if I didn't. There is so many places I want to go to in the catskills but wont unless I'm with like 10 people.
If I were a woman, I'd definitely be afraid of being raped or kidnapped. You're best off either not going or going with a man AND concealed carry. I'm 26 now but when I was 12, I was biking with my friend in the local park. As we were going back to the parking lot, we noticed that a lot of cars were showing up at once. We still kept biking towards it (As it was closest to the main road/exit) a man ahead of us was walking towards us and I shit you not he pulled the biggest type of kitchen knife from a knife block from behind his back and started running at us. We both spun our bikes around and screamed as we took the longer way to the exit. Looking back once we made it to the open baseball fields, he stopped and walked back into the woods. We didn't even call the police at the time because we were so freaked out being a young boy and all and not being used to something like that. If I were American I would conceal carry everywhere I go!
@@finkamain1621 not all states allow you to conceal carry.
It's always a bit sad to see such an huge, ornately designed and intricately detailed place like this fall into such a sorry state - it must've been a truly magnificent house in its time.
9:12 look at the door with the emergency exit sign, where the doorknob should be, someone is looking through it. You can see it is dark, the light all of a sudden and someone moving to the right. Some squatters were there for sure, or it was haunted.
"F***** battery exploded." After that I would of been done, dropped the camera and out the door all while flipping the camera off as I walked away.
Scary....
Would have
Walked?
I was really curious on this house after seeing this so I did research on it. There was a bigger homeless guy that lived there, and the neighbors were feeding him food thats probably the smell you were smelling of food in the night visit. He started getting out of control and attacking kids and busting up there cameras, so they kicked him out and cleaned the whole house up. If you watch an updated video on the house now its completely empty no locked doors, and more boarded windows. That being said you were very lucky he did not attack you!!! loved the videos !!!
9:12 a figure moves in the door "emergency exit" with no handle. You can see its dark and then moves as Dan comes in. Spooky!
Could you provide your sources?
parker productions and trevor g has a video warning people about the homeless man, and neighbors feeding him. Also look up any recent video on the gundry asylum as of a month ago the property is completely cleaned out !!
Still doesn't explain the figure with the KKK hood at 10:15 unless he was the one wearing it. It all seems like multiple people living there at the time.
yah i dont see anything at 10:15 but a screen but its abandoned lol anything is possible
I’m genuinely curious how Dan got to the point of being able to solo these things. Like did he have an adventurous youth and build this up over time or does he just have balls of fucking steel. There are moments here where I know I would freeze, and probably be too terrified to even move. Just wondering how he built so much confidence and bravery.
For reals as soon as I would be at the entrance I would go in a bit and nope out in less than 5 minutes lol
Incrementally. Building up his confidence, up the stake bit by bit and make sure he doesn't bite more than he can chew.
7:05 is what he means in the video about the door way, pay attention the white on the door, this is clearly a person how did you not hear THEMMMM. SO SCARY.
Those old mantles and other wood pieces are so freaking cool. I really wish they could be removed, restored, reused. This place wouldn't be as cool as it is, but it's sad they're just sitting there waiting to rot.
Or, if the building is still structurally sound, save and refurbish the whole thing.
my thoughts exactly, that place is an architectural masterpiece, its sad its left to rot.
+DasVERMiT you guys understand that its a asylum
raiden So? It would still make an awesome house.
Tab 1 it kinda does smh
+DasVERMiT Aren't they amazing? Such a shame they are left behind... So beautiful.....
6:17 the most beautiful fireplace I've ever seen
At around 7:07 there is a shadow moving on the door straight ahead. Does anyone else see it?
Yea looks like someone smoking
@@CaptAxolotl yes the Ghost Smoking.😂
7:09..shadow on the door be4 going upstairs!!!!
omg holy shit. you can see it move at 7:04 too
I seen it too on the white door
Oh yes that is REALLY creepy.
@@mshj74 "saw"
Ohh wow I see that..great catch!
Ok when that battery exploded I about pissed myself!!!!!!!!!!
Sammy Sunshine I jumped! Lol!
I genuinely jumped and cursed because of that damn moment.... I had to take my headphones off because of how it jumpscared me.... Damn it.
id like to see that
How do any of you people notice this shit?! Took me forever to see it! And when I did see it, I really regretted it soon after.
Ugh, something felt very eery about this place on the inside. One can only imagine what they used that ambulance chair for.. Poor kids.
Emergency evacuations
Saw Dan posted that this place burned down. So sad. It's an amazing building-scary, but beautiful. The thought of all that woodwork and stained glass going up in flames is upsetting. At least some of it was documented here.
Aw that's really sad. The architecture was gorgeous and there were clearly people living there well after it was closed down. I read somewhere online that the guy he sees and hears in this video and the the one he does here at nighttime was well known to the neighbors. They knew he lived there and they'd leave him food out. Could just be a rumor as well though. But in any case it's sad. These are some of my all time favorite videos online and I'm so glad they were captured before it was too late.
So 😢
Aw no, just came back to rewatch this because it's a favourite. So sad to hear it's gone.
I was watching this going "better grab some of those great fireplaces, railings, and those cornice baluster details before this place goes up in smoke". Too late now.
OMG Dude! please stop doing this alone!
You are right
Doing this kind of stuff in groups can still be dangerous doing it alone is just foolish.
He needs to bring a gun at the very least
My Cat Deacon of course! This is BALTIMORE.....the people there can’t wait to kill someone.😑
@@evanabbott2737 Yeah, basically.
Source: I'm the city's next door neighbor and hear all the horro stories
I come for the beautiful, old, rotten buildings. I stay for all the creepy shit that happens.
The scariest part in this video was leaving that VHS of the matrix
Kat F what time stamp ?
KOTO abyka 5:52
And fried green tomatoes movie...
13:40 that chair facing the wall is creepy to me. Especially, since there seems to be someone else in there too.
For some reason, your comment makes this video much more horrifying... that freaking chair...
some homeless person probably uses it to shoot up
Dan Bell, you owe me new underpants...
😂
You orgasmed as well?
Kram Sniggah, Whats underpants?? Hhahahaha!
I saw a shadow at around 07:07. Definitely like an arm move and a silhouette as it seemed to move back.
Maura McDermott I saw that too, so many people have commented seeing other things but I haven’t seen/heard anything else(with the exception of a whisper as an eye at the door)
100% a person you can see them peak and move back
Бля он курит?)
That place must've been beautiful. Especially the stairway and the designs on the fireplace mantle and that beautiful glass artwork in the ceiling. Why would it be an old patient? It could be any homeless person I suppose.
There's definitely some people using this place as their homestead.
Constantly find myself coming back to this video, I just find it so fascinating and horrifying. The idea of others lurking around while he’s exploring.
and how they managed to stay sooo quiet too, yet Dan’s footsteps are so loud considering there’s trash covering the whole floor.
Same! I’ve watched this video over and over throughout the years
I know right I keep coming back to this video too because it's so creepy
First time watching this video. Definitely spooky considering he’s alone in the building with the squatter. It’s really a lovely building that deserves better. He’s definitely lucky the squatter just stayed out of sight.
me too!!!
There's definitely someone living here. There has to be. This place shut down in 1998 and, from what I'm to understand, has been vacant ever since and yet there's a dvd on the table of a movie that wasn't released until 2009? And if you look at the vhs tapes on the shelf one of them says Matrix. Assuming it's THE matrix, it wasn't released until 1999. Anyway, super friggin' weird, super friggin' creepy.
Eliza VM Most likely the doing of the dude that was kicked out.
It definitely looks like the person living there was watching movies, but who was paying the electric bill?
@@TheWallsocket Dude was probably watching a blank TV because he is so out of it, it wouldn't surprise me. I grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada and one day when I went for a walk with my mother, we saw police officers all over the elementary school down the road and we saw that it was broken into because of the broken windows. Later on our walk we took a pathway through a small bit of woods and I noticed a black monitor, keyboard, mouse, and tower set up by the river as it it was able to be turned on for use. It was stolen from the school and the person/people who stole it must have been so high that they thought it would work without power. It actually was a creepy sight to see something electronic set up in the woods like that!
Where is it located? I can't find the name of it?
So very sad this building is gone now. So glad you have this footage and shared it with us Dan!
Came here after the Mr Ballen video, does Dan even know that he captured video of people squatting inside this place???
same
When
You shouldn't go into these places alone.
*Without a firearm
@@rangerman9241 Both. They should be armed with something, a knife, a gun, whatever, and he should also go with a group. Urbexing can be dangerous in many ways, but I find running into people more scary than the thought of the building falling on me.
@@rangerman9241, Even with a gun you should not go alone. If some one comes up behind you without you noticing they can still take you out.
He's not, those are his buddies running around the place
There was absolutely someone living there. No idea why you'd assume it was a former patient though. Could just be random squatters.
Sure looks like there was more than one, since it looks like the shadow guy is "shushing" someone.
rigf lmao exactly i thought the same thing.
Shushing when? time stamp please?
yea def a bunch of homles high sqauters
@@luckyshow98 7:06
@@blaskomatej it were scary tho nd also what made it more scary that he was on his own aswell
If I can get it approved from my boss, I'd love to give you a tour of the abandoned rehab hospital that I do security at. You'd definitely see and hear some stuff
Any clues as to where?! Storytime
ahh were?
Please give an update on this
update or you made it up?
Update and where???
Anyone watching in may 2020?
Nope...
Yes. I may never close my eyes again!
yes......
To creepy bro. It's 2:30 am and I'm questioning my sanity
Yes
I was listening through headphones and that exploding battery almost gave me a heart attack ! This video was creepy. Well done !
+5and 50 Forgot to add that I thought I heard a male voice @10:57.
+5and 50 I heard the same voice but I'm wondering if it's part of the sound byte that he added just after.
+5and 50 yea I did hear something. not sure what it was
+5and 50 i think dan says "oh my god im going to fucking freak out"
+luced death It was definitely not Dan. I wasn't able to hear it without headphones. It sounds like an EVP. A rather disturbing one at that. Maybe some others will chime in and give their opinion. Take another listen with headphones if you haven't already.
The battery explosion got me a second time and i still freaked out
Yup, me too!
It was this video of Dan's that introduced me to his amazing and unique body of work. Before then, I had never seen an urbex video so professionally shot and skillfully edited as this. I got instantly hooked, and from here on I was a voracious consumer of all things Dan Bell. Eight years and through many ups and downs of Dan's CZcams career later, I'm happy to say I'm still along for the unfailingly enthralling and at times slightly scary ride. You rock, Dan!
I love the decorative painted wood and the stained glass.
Imagine the cost, and the hours upon hours of human labour that went in to creating these beautiful features, only to be left abandoned.
Dan: You won't miss it
Me: Frick I missed it
+Eadlyn June right everyone is saying its at 7:07 so iv been skipping back to there but i still dont really see anything
+jaystopher Look at the shadow on the white door straight ahead (it has like a diamond piece of glass in the middle). The shadow moves a few times.
JPMCHEESIE alright thanks!
+jaystopher Took me a while to see it too. As he rounds the staircase, straight ahead there is a hall, one white door to the left the shadow moves on that door. I had to slow the speed down to see it.
Eadlyn June me too
I'm not questioning that there were people in there with you because it was fairly obvious but how did they make no noise while moving around really? Every step dan took sounded like a goddamn firework.
I think he mentions that the sounds he hears don't pick up in the video very well. Went he revisited at night he said it sounded silent on floors he was on, and then like a party was going on a different floor. He could tell at night that someone was in the house after a certain point but the camera doesn't really pick this up that well. They may have moved really carefully in the day so it sounded like an animal, wind, etc. Whereas Dan isn't trying to be sneaky.
@@RowanBuchananroabie that's true. And if the people that are there a lot or even live there then they would most likely know the best places to walk that would be quiet. Very creepy either way you look at it haha
One thing I like about your videos is you never do hokey stuff with ghosts and spooks, no jump scares or anything. You don't over hype the video to scare people and I like that.
This along with the night time visit remains hands down among my top picks of Dan's videos. The combination of the production, suspense, the beauty of the building and the history make it very compelling. I keep coming back to it for the amazing creepy but interesting vibes.
I would say at the very moment when you filmed this there were at least 2 or 3 people in here with you. At 9:13 someone was watching you through a hole where to door knob would be and quickly covered it up as you approached. Then at 10:58 I think someone was trying to scare you, hoping you would leave. I find it interesting that there may still be people inhabiting this place. Glad you made it out of there unharmed. Just always be careful, may want to consider bringing pepper spray if you don't already have it in case you run into someone with bad intentions.
Good eye that really gave me the chills at 9:13! I think you right that someone has taken residence there and really wanted Dan out. Those staying there must be desperate if they chose to live in such conditions. He is lucky it didn't get violent. Which do you think is more terrifying to think of when you are touring an abandon property? That a stranger is watching you or a spirit?
If I was touring a abandoned area I would be more afraid of running into an individual. I've never had any paranormal experiences but I imagine a ghost/spirit wouldn't have the intention or ability to harm you physically. With a stranger you don't know if they are friendly or an enemy, they could be armed with anything and be stealthy waiting for that potential moment to strike when you drop your guard.
That is super creepy!!!
Oh wow, I see it. That is unmistakable.
It took me three views to figure out what you were talking about, but after noticing it a chill ran down my spine.
Just a warning to you all 6:48 will make you jump, because a battery will explode.
Bump
+Brandon Hardesty Even with the your warning it made me jump XD
EmoJuliet Nikki thats the point!
Goddamnit! It still spooked me! For a second, I thought he'd stepped on a body part, and that sound was the blood splattering our from it...
right when I read this it exploded, I was just too late lol
I can't imagine exploring somewhere like this ALONE. You sir, are brave.
I've watched this 10 times and the parts where you can clearly see people moving around Dan still make me squeal. 😱
Watch me return to the asylum alone at night : czcams.com/video/a8DdlxbrBV0/video.html
I just did and had to watch this one again because of the differences I saw. clearly...someones been locking doors and moving things!
+This is Dan Bell. i watched both videos and you were not alone either time you went, this is your best video yet and when you have camera trouble that is an indication of the paranormal you were not alone
+MrWeedWacky It's more of a different thing I was thinking of. By the way, I remember Shit Pickle! Funny guy.
+James Wohlever There have literally been billions of unexpected human deaths through history, by your rational there would be ghosts on every street corner. There are no such things, no evidence whatsoever. There are just those who think they exist and those that don't. By your rational there would be thousands of ghosts at Pearl Harbor, or At The Twin Towers site, or Nagasaki etc.etc. And to your other reply about watching Dan's other video, he even says it was the wind opening and closing the door he came through.
+MrWeedMacky +Chris McDaniels +James Wohlever Not debating if ghosts are real or not, just playing Devil's advocate: science tells us energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it just transforms from one form to another. So, if you believe in souls, what do you think souls are? Personally, I think it's our energy, the 'something more' than our physiology and biology that gives us life. So, when a person dies, what happens to the soul? Regardless of why 'ghosts' may or may not stick around, couldn't our energy, our soul, still be active in this plane of existence?
I worked security for a closed down asylum, it wasnt uncommon to find ex inmates squatting in one of the old dorms, for some reason the ones who had stayed there a while would return, they'd be caught, but would still return a week or so later.
I hope your job allowed you to carry a gun... That's sounds extremely dangerous considering how unpredictable they can be and what they might have done to you!
this is my absolute favorite video you have on your channel, i still think about the shadows you see in this vid, the battery exploding, its all so haunting and beautiful i love it. its been like 3 years since i first watched it
Yes, I took think about this video. It was so creepy and obviously had some paranormal activity going on.
My God, this place is breath taking.
At 07:08, there is a quick shadow on that door to the outside. I wonder why no one has salvaged some of the fireplaces and decorative fixtures?Those stained glass windows are beautiful. It's sad to see buildings rot away like this.
+rneustel i noticed that shadow move as well.
around 9:12 i can see someone peeking through the empty door handle
+Kloybe oh wow, good catch! I only saw the shadowy figure in the doorway shortly after the battery exploded.
lol
+Kloybe I saw that too, just as well he did'nt go through that door.
OMG GOOD CATCH
holy shit lol good eye
7:08 the movement on the otherside of the stairwell door making an obvious shadow and 9:10 you are definitely not alone someone watching you through the doorknob hole...spooopy as all get out
When your battery exploded it sounded like you tripped over or stepped on some large rodent that wasn't any too happy! The Skylight and the stained glass windows absolutely gorgeous. The people who painted these must have been amazing artists! And all the carvings in the wood I thought were phenomenal. Great job you did in exploring this place.
Oh god EXACTLY at 11:00 lesson close oh god this guy said "I was shot there" this gave me the chills
Holy $&@#...yes I heard it 😱
Carolina Monrroy Good catch!
WHOA, I had to turn my speakers up pretty good, and DAMN something was whispered
HOLY SHITT ITS ANOTHER F****** DAY THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO I MIGHT GO IN A CREEPY BUILDING
I can't even go into public bathrooms on my own
ARGH! That one at 9:14 is KILLING ME!!! Instant goosebumps.
Its blows my mind how fast a building can become dilapidated by the elements when no humans are around. When you said the last time it was used was the 2000s i was chocked until I saw some of the items left behind
F Geno yeah. Houses dont like being empty. Its amazing how fast they start to rot away. Sad!
Wow, there are so many beautiful handcrafted accents that are just being left to rot and crumble.
This video got me scared in broad daylight, & when that battery exploaded i almost had a heart attack lmao
SAME OMG
holy crap yes
sAME HERE, I JUMPED
when does it happen? i dont feel like getting a heart attack today
You too RobbWilliams11
“You won’t miss it” Me- ‘oh I got adhd. I sure as hell will miss it’ *misses ALL of the things except the battery exploding. Even after a second watch knowing where to look*
Get new glasses
I get creeped out watching these 'abandoned' videos during the day! How Dan Bell does it alone and at night..... Wow! Awesome vids, Dan! 👍
What a beautiful grand staircase...There is still so much beauty, the colorful stain glass ceiling, the perfect medallion on the ceilings, the carvings in the mantel. I've never seen a painted medallion like that one! Oh, my more gorgeous stained glass. Definitely a sign that someone's been there with the pills spread out, I mean recently.
+Lottie Faith I know. Somebody should salvage and preserve that stuff before it gets wrecked.
I see only one real mystery in this entire video, and that's the fireplace beginning at 9:36. I've never seen one with a window centered immediately above it. Where's the chimney? At 9:56 we see evidence of past fires in the thing, so evidently it' was a working unit, and it appears that the fire burned symmetrically, so it isn't likely that it vents to one side. The wall is thick enough there to house a split chimney, but I've never heard of such a thing, and then to put windows on either side of that is just amazing. I'd like to see a shot of the building exterior at that location, although I have an idea that the chimney(s) is concealed on the exterior too. Still, it/they would have to vent to the sky well above the structure.
Whatever the answer, I find it very, VERY COOL that someone bothered to engineer and build such an unusual thing. That's going above and beyond just to have something so aesthetically unusual.
I was wondering that myself, never seen anything like it, but I think it's really cool, seems like a lot of extra trouble if it's not your own place.
Could've been a Franklin stove.
The chimney probably goes up a foot or two and then goes straight back outside through the wall. Maybe it had a small awning over it to make sure no rain got in. Just an idea though. Really strange design
You can carry smoke through pipes out of a chimney. The chimney might have been far from where the fireplace is and the pipes might have been cut in three different ways or there's a chimney underneath the window
Chimney was probably taken out after modern HVAC was put in. It may well have been unsafe and taken down for safety reasons. When it was removed, they put an outside window in the "alcove" left where the chimney had been.
Verse 1: On the old farm house veranda there sat Silas and Miranda,
Thinking of the days gone by.
Said he "Dearie don't be weary, you were always bright and cheery.
But a tear, dear, dims your eye."
Said she "they're tears of gladness Silas, they're not tears of sadness,
It is fifty years today since we were wed."
Then the old man's dim eyes brightened and his stern old heart it lightened
As he turned to her and said,
Chorus: "Put on your old grey bonnet with the blue ribbon on it,
While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay,
And through the fields of clover, we'll drive up to Dover
On our golden wedding day."
Verse 2: It was in the same old bonnet with the same blue ribbon on it,
In the old shay, by his side,
That he drove her up to Dover through the same old fields of clover,
To become his happy bride.
The birds were sweetly singing and the same old bells were ringing,
As they passed the quaint old church where they were wed.
And that night when stars were gleaming, the old couple lay a dreaming,
Dreaming of the words he said.
Chorus: "Put on your old grey bonnet with the blue ribbon on it,
While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay,
And through the fields of clover, we'll drive up to Dover
On our golden wedding day."
The music made this video even creepier
I need a whiskey after this, the flickering shadow by the door was hands down the creepiest thing I've ever seen on an urbex vid.
So creepy!! I'd be more scared if it was a person rather than a spirit though, they could have hurt Dan
a whiskey, eh? 😂 How bout a shot my guy?
Youd think if someone was living there they'd tidy up the place
Looks like my mom's house 😂😂😂
Lmfao. My thought exactly. Get a broom and a dustpan in there and you could be a little more comfortable
I kind of find this video enchanting. The house was once absolutely beautiful and full of life regardless of what went on inside. You kind of wonder when its last moments were. When someone last used the pitcher or turned off the lights for the last time.
8:40 had me laughing so hard 😂😂
Dan was looking to see if it was still good....he might get that...
What happened to the company that made them? Are they still making them
Dan, you are one of my all-time favorite CZcamsrs! Your editing is on point, and the filming and lighting are superb. I'm curious, how do you mount your camera? My best guess was a chest mounted gopro, but the footage seems more stable than that.
+IMakeThings Thanks! My camera isn’t mounted. It’s outfitted with a rig that helps keep it steady. It’s not perfect but it definitely helps on the fly.
+This is Dan Bell. The shadow on the door at 7:05, you can the guys arm move, but he never moves. You can see his head turn like he's waiting for you to come to the door, maybe when he moved his arm, he had a weapon he was going to use. Or probably a squatter or looter.
+Jonathan Hartman I seen this too!! How creepy, Dan you are brave beyond belief, you're amazing
+This is Dan Bell. I just had to sub, your videos are AWESOME and you got awesome balls for going into old houses and hotels alone and at like 3 am!!! Awesome!
+Jonathan Hartman It looked like he was smoking, which explains the cigarettes everywhere.
There is so much nope in this video. I hate your channel. I thought it was just dead/dying malls. And now this. I'm generally not a guy who gets anxiety or scared, but just watching your videos makes my heart rate increase. You sir, have balls of steel.
Look at the door 7:08
Same! I came originally for the dead ,alls and now I’m lying awake at night scared af! I just wanted malls Dan!! 😂
Stop being mean guys
Georgina Strand they aren’t trying to be. The original even compliments him
So dont watch u big sissy
Big fella, I read an article that it has burned down. Still my all time favorite adventure. Both videos!!!
Had to be a beauty in her day without the nightmares left behind
Around 10:19 when he brushes the grate on the stairs, I thought I saw someone's face in the door downstairs, and when he moves his hand back it's gone. Just for a split second.
Just imagine having an accident while exploring this place, fall and loose consciousness just to regain it at three in the morning, all confused and with totally drained out batteries.
+duenodelustucru You and I think very much alike.
+This is Dan Bell. who me?
+duenodelustucru In the old days that's how we did most URBEX, Alone.
I do believe I'm going to turn this comment into a writing prompt!!!!
And when it becomes a movie, do not forget to put me on the credits Lela
So sad!!!! The woodwork, ceiling medallions, and fireplaces are gorgeous!!!!
And wow. Thank you thank you this is one of the most amazing videos I’ve seen in a a while. Really like the way you presented it tragic and disgusting at the same time. Please keep up the good work
Did anyone else hear the male voice at 10:58 saying "Tell him to get out of here", or something along those lines? I don't believe it was paranormal, but that is even scarier. Dan, I enjoy your videos too much for you to meet your demise making them. Please take a friend!
I heard it too!
I heard it as well! pardon my french, but i would've shit my pants... i would take a whole army with me to these types of places!
+mommymelissa79 i think that may have been dan saying something like "oh my god im going to fucking freak out"
+luced death I heard Dan say he was going to freak out after I heard the other male voice. I thought I heard something so I put my earbuds on and caught it. Scared the crap out of me.
+mommymelissa79 i hear it now and cant explain it with his background music it is odd
Damn that's a gorgeous building with some really unique interior features. Here it looks to be only superficial damage and a bad but easily curable mold problem on the lower levels so hopefully somebody will buy and restore it before it crosses the point of no return because it would be a shame to see something so beautiful just rot away.
Dan wrote on Twitter like a month ago or so that it burned down. That's honestly tragic, the building was gorgeous. My mother was an architect and while I don't claim to know everything about it, she did shoe me enough that I can also appreciate how unique and gorgeous this place was.
Imagine if he went at night, lol
he did
Ethan And then again with Brennan
That's a gg
He did, he did, he di-id!
This video's one of my Halloween traditions. Watching it as I carve my pumpkin.
this place had to of been beautiful at one time so many places left in this state is sad considering how many of them have such a interesting history.
That's what I was thinking. The workmanship on this house is absolutely stunning. It was clearly built with the idea of being a school and a place that would be seen and enjoyed. I thought it was one of those madhouse kinda places and you tend to think of people back in the day mistreating kids with any kind of physical or mental disability, but it sure looks like they made it as pleasing as possible and included art of things that might appeal to children, and put in fine chandeliers and woodwork. Maybe rich families sent kids here when they had problems. That might explain the quality.
@@BeeWhistler I think the place was built as a home for a family, but later converted into an asylum. You can clearly see drop sealings, as well as partition walls on the upper staircase. Many mansions like this one were converted into mental hospitals in the 50's for some reason.
i see a shadow person watch good 7:07 on the door in the middle of that hallway
It looks like some guy was outside smoking.
+RedSox_Fan creepy i saw i too!
+Damien Horta I've gone back several times looking but I cant see it :(
looked like he was enjoying his snacks
+Whovian Girl Look at the white door with a diamonded shaped window in it which is straight ahead and is opened and if you look you can see the shadow its looks like a human standing outside
10:56 As Dan Bell enters the room he stops and notices what looks like blood on the floor, suddenly a Spirit says ""I'VE BEEN SHOT""...
Says “ I was shot their”
"ive been shot right there"
When saw the 'Super Creepy Abandoned Children's Asylum', was curious, then saw Dan Bell, knew it was a Must See,
& was right, Great video, Thank you. Loved the stain glass esp the ceiling & the fireplaces, OMG, Wow, gorgeous..
