    My mother was there at Racho Las Amigos hospital in the 70's she was there for over a year for stroke rehabilitation and I would go with her on a small bus to a church across the street where you were, alot of memories I was only 17 when she died there in 74, I'll never forget that place .....

    First off it’s not now, nor has it ever been, a mental hospital or a treatment facility for mental health treatment. The location started off as the Los Angeles County Poor Farm, then became a hospital for the treatment and rehabilitation of polio cases. Today it’s the abandoned part of the LA County Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center and is actually world renowned for its ground breaking treatment and rehabilitation of paralysis cases. IT WAS NEVER A NUT FARM…EVER.

      I was there in late ‘91 or ‘92 (can’t remember which year) as a second rehab after a 10/1988 accident left me paralyzed and lost my left arm at the shoulder.
      I wasn’t aware of the “poor house” pre 1950 but back when I was there, the hospital was on the North side of Imperial Highway with some low income patients living in buildings South of Imperial Highway. Also on the South side were office buildings, one did driving evaluations to spec out needed driving modifications.
      I think the legs/Marine training claim in 2006 is BS personally. Heck, most of these claims don’t sound right.
      We even had a wheelchair event (games-basket ball and quad hockey to make a few). The psychologist, was friends with Word Al. He was there for the event (nice guy). Other celebrities visited patients too. McLean Stevenson from MASH.
      I’m on the hunt for decent video from that time. If anyone knows links to videos from the late 80s, early 90s, please message me or reply. Thanks!

    The building in 0:21 is pretty terrifying when you go in at least where we went in, there’s a hallway that’s clear of debris… it looks untouched you can see all the rooms and bathrooms that once were occupied with patients, but passing that hallway… you pass thru some heavy wooden doors and it’s nothing but trashed patient files everywhere… it’s a room filled of papers and desk it’s pretty sketch at night… once you make your way around all that you hit a cafeteria area in this area we experienced cold air currents… there was a massive pentagram with candles on each point which was not a pleasant sight to see… across it there’s a hallway that leads to what appears to be medical rooms like lobby’s etc.. strange thing is that we saw KKK posters which was really random n then satanic symbols on the walls that ran down the entire hallway which we honestly didn’t further explore…. We experienced a few scares but nothing major… my ex recorded the entire walk through what was chilling was the things we caught on video we could here groans n voices that weren’t ours in the background… there’s definitely dark n heavy energy in that place

    That whole place is haunted. We knew people who used to go to visit family & the patients were scared to be alone in the rooms.

    I don't believe in hauntings but I've been around the Rancho Los Amigos side in the steam tunnels, basements and such(working there) and there are places that just have bad vibes. Even worse was Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk. Still operational but we were working in buildings that were empty at the time. More modern, not by much though. Think of a cross between hospital and prison. Everything was clinical but at the same time extra sturdy. Everything about the place wanted you to leave. Plus for some reason, there are no California basements that aren't creepy. We don't really have them here so the ones that we do have are just wrong from the get go.

We all have a chainsaw tattooed on our right arms. We were having a small but really wild party in one of our backyards. My pal and I were telling the tale of our terrifying, fun, and interesting trip to the "Haunted Hospital", as we then called it. We were all hammered and on various amounts of opiates, amphetamines, hallucinogenics and booze. When a sudden string of reckless weassling matches in the yard.....my buddies tiny old Mom came out screaming and swinging a broom. Rip Carmen
      We had to move the party. Someone shouted..."hey Matt! Take us to the Haunted Hospital!" We did.
      Drive over in several vehicles. 20ish guys and like ten girlfriends ran down the trax. Through the fence, past a bunch of bums /, across an overgrown field and into the creewwewpy outdoor courtyard of the complex. This time it was very boarded up. No sweat. The following hour was mayhem. We did film it too....pre YT. We knocked down huge tows of metal shelving like dominoes. We threw furniture out of windows and pianos down stairs. We located a slide for paraplegics!!!!
      We tuckered ourselves out. In our way out.....we were surrounded by the police. They hassled us and took our pictures. Vince was arrested for having brass knuckles. Frank was 18 with an IS that said he was 23. They took him too. The let the rest of us go.
      So, yeah. No excuses. We were horrid kids. We were cool though, haw!! We were not "urban explorers" interested in history or anything like that. Sorry we didn't leave it be for everyone else. Now ....I find the place fascinating.
