Josh check out St. Marie, Montana. It’s an abandoned town/Air Force base. There’s a school and abandoned apartments and condos as well. There are still some residents so it would be a great place to explore along with getting interviews with people who still live there.
Although I love his videos he is so MISINFORMED. Asylums were shut down because of healthcare reform and because of the Social Work field. Yes, advances in medication were made and I’m sure it played a small role but the main reason these institutions were shut down is because of the abuse that the patients endured and how medical billing changed. Not trying to knock him, but I wish he would do a little more research before making all these claims. Recently graduated with my bachelor’s in psychology, so I literally studied this.
@@thebeecharmer454 he states that they shut down from the mistreatment in all the other videos if you watched them you would know that. He probably got tired of saying it over and over and probably wanted to give other reasons to why it would have gotten shut down
wig snatched Yeah I do, that does not make the buildings any uglier, only the humans who worked there. Besides if we just went out and destroyed all “evidence” such as buildings where horrible things happened it would be a great tragedy. No one could ever be able to put themselves in the mentally ill persons mind, and certainly not in a time or place like that, but at least when you let these places be, people get the opportunity to kinda reimagine what it must have been like. Trying to forget what happened is like trying to forget the people it happened to.
@@kattemismis u know it's was abondaned and burned and and when buildings are abondaned they destroy in time and plus who doesn't like all that you graffiti in that hall that was amazing
Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, by explaining yours to me you won’t change mine, and vise versa. I know buildings decay or decompose (or something along the lines of that, English is not my first language I hope this makes sense either way) over the years. But I still think it’s sad that people feel the need to trash the places and vandalize it. I personally don’t find graffiti “tags” either “amazing” nor “beautiful” so yeah. It’s still a no from me.
@@sarahadams1578 I find most of the grafitti so childish and ugly, theres certain places where it looks good like the new portion of the hospital where the bowling ally and theater was, seeing it in places of the older parts was just sad, defacing the historic beauty
As someone with a mental condition I'm really glad I wasn't born back in the early 20th century. Lobotomies and insulin therapy just sound like bad human experiments and torture. Which It basically was
Ya this makes me sick. If I would have be born around that time I would be one of them. I have Bipolar 1 disorder with psychosis. This really makes my stomach turn around
The reason most asylums shut done is not just because of changes in medication, but mostly because of the change in laws brought about by Nellie Bly. She spent 10 days in a “madhouse” in the late 1800’s and wrote about the mistreatment of patients. Policies and procedures surrounding better treatment of patients were introduced and a lot of asylums were boycotted. Changes in medication also helped as it offered better side effects and more effective treatment. Funding was also a huge issue in the closure of some asylums as doctors were engaging in horrendous and expensive treatments like lobotomies and insulin therapy. Electroconvulsive therapy is still used to this day but the patient is under general anaesthetic and it’s so much safer. I’ve seen it have positive effects on patients with severe depression. I’m a mental health nurse, hence the knowledge on the history of mental health and their treatments.
I read about Nellie, she was a tough woman. I spent time in a modern day 'Clinic' and I wanted out. at the time Nellie was subjected to what we would call torture.
Margot she definitely was a tough woman! It must have been difficult to go undercover, pretending to have mental health problems whilst observing everything that was going on. I’m sorry you had to go through that. It’s absolutely awful what some people went through in places like that.
iiVKoriXii she did yes. She was then admitted and then got released after she documented her findings. If I remember correctly, someone she knew basically bailed her out to ensure she didn’t get kept in there.
Why don't you guys get to these places earlier in the day so you have time to hit up all the spots before it gets dark out ? Especially big places like this. Would have loved to see the Library. Maybe next time. Cool Vid though. :)
Josh, said they drove 4 hours to get there. I would guess if they were to get there early, they would have to drive the day before, then find a hotel and the cost increases. But, yeah! I could watch longer videos where he explores all day.
Margot it is because usually you work these light hours. In the summertime it is the opposite, so dark only for a few hours. In the north the sun doesnt rise for like two months in the winter time and neither does it really go down for a month or so in the summertime. But well a bit different living in Finland :)
@@onskia2061 I have visited Finland all the way from Australia. I guess you are just used to it. of all the places in the world I have visited Findland is on the top of my favourites list.
insulin therapy??? yikes im diabetic so i know what it feels like for your blood glucose levels to drop, those poor patients!!! sending someone into a coma with insulin is very deadly!
Lena Rose I was thinking the same thing. I’m Type 1, those shakes and sweats are no joke! I was also wondering if you’re not diabetic, just how much insulin they’d have to give someone to create that effect! Yikes!
If you look at the history of psychiatry, the doctors basically had no idea what they were doing. If they thought something worked they went with it and even admitted they didn't know how it why it worked.
Alejandro Sosa No, it would have to be a very high amount in order to ‘overdose’ a healthy person. And that’s basically what those seizures were. Insulin overdoses. Can lead to coma and death very quickly.
It's so crazy how good the materials were back then for it to still be standing! I feel like the materials we use now aren't as worthy than they were back then.
Jacob R ikr ?! i like seeing how it used to be all these years ago , i wanna imagine what it used to look like and feel like , but all the graffiti just ruins all the history . it truly is aggravating , now that all the preserved memories are gone
I love the hospital and asylum vids. I also like how you give the history of these places. You should explore Disney's abandoned river country water park. It's very risky.
Not Hudson, New York but Poughkeepsie, New York. The land was donated to the state in the 1860s by the citizens of Dutchess County. It was part of the former estate of James Roosevelt - FDR's father. The Kirkbride was designed in the High Gothic Victorian style by English architect Frederick Clarke Withers, and the grounds were laid out by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted, who had designed Central Park. It was originally called The Hudson River State Hospital for the Insane. There were not two owners. The hospital was always owned and run by New York State. It was known for being modern and up to date, not abusive or dangerous. The Kirkbride was struck by lightning and caught fire in 2007 after the state. had sold the property to developers. The town of Poughkeepsie put a moratorium on new development because there has been so much rapid growth in the area already. Lots of plans but nothing is really being done, and the vandalizing continues.
Years ago, HRPC used to be dangerous and abusive. If you walked into the original men's and women's wards before they built Cheney it reeked of urine and feces. Many times the patients were left to sit in their own waste for hours and patients were also put in restraints for no particular reason. I know all this because I have spoken to a few nurses whom went to the nursing school that HRPC used to have and knew someone who worked there for many many years. The horror stories that have come out of that place are numerous and horrendous.
6:52 That's not blood, it's iodine or iodoform, seeing as how you just picked up a bottle of it. It ranges in color from bright yellow to a dark rusty orange depending on how thickly it's applied and in the medical field it's used as an antiseptic.
Iodoform is those long strips of gauze that were in that box. Usually used as wound packing; I'm sure some patients developed pressure ulcers or bedsores if restrained improperly
Wow, such amenities as theaters, pool, libraries, smoking lounges, and bowling! Heavy price to pay for the patients though; treated as experimental rats. Great job capturing this Josh!
No I think asylums are horrible for the way they treated people it sad I know that they are not mentally all there but to do the the things they did wasn't right sorry I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year and have a good day or night
Long ago,they used newspaper has insulation! Look for things hidden inside walls or hidden places( vaulables?!....used to find hidden things while exlporing abandonded older houses!) Merry Christmas!!!
you guys should check out the abandoned college in millbrook ny! ive always wanted to see inside it, i believe it’s the building you see as soon as you drive into the town
Merry Christmas Eve. Whoever reads this, have a nice Christmas. 🎄🎅🔔❄🎅🎉🎊🎄🎅🔔❄🎅🎁🎄🎅🎉🎊🎄🎅🔔❄🎅🎁🎄 And please done explore creepy places on Christmas Eve leave that to the RUclipsrs
kirkbride buildings are gorgeous! there are a few left in madison wi at the mendota health institute. the place is still active as a psychiatric hospital mostly for the criminally insane, and has some dark history. also ed gein died there. but it’s in a beautiful area and grounds are open to the public. an original kirkbride, the wisconsin memorial hospital, is still there, although it doesn’t comply with fire codes and has been boarded up. just an interesting place. loved the video! merry christmas josh!
Rise Above Josh how in heck did I miss this excellent video? Good job well done, everything you say is the truth about patients being over medicated but the Drs didnt know what to prescribe at the time...as time went on over prescribing stopped by the year I started as a medical aide... 1979. Less medication meant more patients rised above the medications, moved out and started lives within society, that's when Mental Health Agencies started popping up in towns around the country, 1980s.. Peace out from me in Vt
Good video! There is a town size place called Tranquille, BC. CANADA. It has/had(?) many abandoned buildings. Used as a sanitarium to treat decease they say. Someone said on a video that he saw people cages in one basement.
Asylums & hospitals are my favorite abandoned too. I went to a college that used to be a psych hospital & from the side corridor you could see the abandoned, part derelict wing & what looked like a partially torn down padded room. Our classrooms were on the back corridor. Every-so-often you would hear a door slam, but nobody was there except your class at the time. It was always doors of different rooms that would slam, not the room you were in. It's like whatever was there wanted to be heard but not "seen". The college has closed down too now. So as far as I know, it's abandoned again.
Josh, you've outdone yourself again! Your camera skills, story telling and editing is perfect! Thank you for the great video and Merry Christmas Eve 🎅🏼
I love and respect how your revisiting, even populated a abanded where exploers have been because your technique production is above all my expectations. I've searched youtube for other exploers but nothing compares to you homie
Whaaaaaaat. This asylum is literally 5 minutes up the street from me! I don’t know when you were here if this was recent or not.... but I wish you did a meet and greet if it was recent.
I live at the Commons of Traverse City , which is a refurbished Kirkbride Asylum. What’s crazy is my grandparents and uncle worked here when it was still an asylum. Great Vid josh 👍
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 Josh!! Thank you 🙏 for uploading a new video for all of us to watch for Christmas 🎄 Hope you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 with your family. Love 💗 you lots
Thanks for this educational video, your not the only one that finds abandoned places interesting especially asylums because it makes you wonder what it was like back then and it’s like you can feel in the atmosphere the creepyness, the sadness, anger etc of the patients. Its crazy, but this was an awesome video!
There’s an abandoned mental asylum in Denbigh in the uk and it’s massive it’s truly amazing, there are many signs that warn of security however I have been there and I know there is no security anymore, oh and there’s also a morgue if you go around the side and up to the right. To get to it you will go over a road that is by a field and to get to the asylum you have to walk across the field and through the open gate. Unfortunately due to arson the main hall is destroyed but u can still go in, there are also no stairs but hidden in the courtyard there is a ladder so you can use that. I have some pictures if you want them and I would be happy to give you more information!! Oh and there’s also a massive underground system that you can walk through
Hi josh im been watching ur videos. Wish i found awsome. When i was little i had visited a abandoned ghost town with my dad and friends. I come to realize that my house is abandoned since i came to live in colombia in 2000 makes me sad i left everything behind really would enjoy recovering a album of.pictures of my childhood.
This is Poughkeepsie not Hudson but it’s right near my house! Love this place! So cool to see someone I’ve followed for so long actually explore my hometown😭
Don’t be sorry for “talking too much” in your own videos. I actually like that you give your opinion and describe etc it really makes the place come alive. So thank you Josh! Merry Christmas man
The drone shots really help to give you a better idea of the size and shape of the place. Seems to make it more real. Merry Christmas Josh and I’m looking forward to whatever you have planned for next year 💋 xx
dude its astonishing how massive these asylum compounds were built back then... like it always makes me wonder WHY and HOW they were even able to build such vast facilities... like were there even that many patients to take in?? crazy vibes. also - love how u put like footage from actual informative things they would do back then... creepy af but hella interesting!!
17:58 just looked up the journal article and it has some interesting topics on what psychiatry was like at the time. Electroshock therapy was apparently an appropriate and accepted form of therapy for all mental disorders at the time, likely that they were using this on many of the patients.
Hi Josh what a place to explore, it might be falling apart but wow. Thanks for taking us along with you all. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy new year. From Nancy in Scotland x
What a way to start the day...with Josh and his creepy videos( so glad we were'nt there...modern medicine has advanced so much!! Merry Christmas from Iowa!!
This is in my hometown. Poughkeepsie, New York its called the Mid Hudson psychiatric center. Most of it has been torn down since, they are building a huge center with apartments, stores, its a shame, all guarded off now.
You should do a part 2 so we can see the library and maybe the morgue. I understand it’s completely sealed but somebody might’ve already found a way in. Really cool video
Did you EVER theorise the possibility that in a past life you were in some way or another involved with old buildings? Especially hospitals and asylums? THAT could explain your fascination with these old buildings and architecture?! Either that OR your were an artist, designer or builder maybe involved in the creation of such old beauty as we know it today! Just a thought!
I’m surprised you guys even got there, security has been extra because some idiots lit a fire in one of the first buildings. I love going here and I love seeing videos from you that are local to me.
Fascinating! Was this one of the places that was self-sufficient where they farmed their own veggies and had livestock? The older buildings are gorgeous. What a shame they couldn’t have been repurposed! Thank you
@Jason Bouphasavanh Are you stupid? Rust is one of the 16 oxidation states of iron; it's when iron has been exposed to oxygen and have the chemical symbol "Fe2O3" which means the molecule has 2 iron atoms and 3 oxygen atoms. Most metals can oxidate, but then you don't fucking call it "rust" because rust is specific to iron.
I've looked this place up and am surprised that it only closed down in 2003. The current state that it's in makes me think that it closed down more like 30 yrs ago than just 15.
There is another kirkbride psychiatric hospital. It's called Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital. It's in Morris Plains, NJ. You should check it out. The main kirkbride building was demolished in 2015.
Hey Josh there is another hospital in Poughkeepsie, Ny that is abandoned also about 45 minutes to an hour away from Hudson. Almost across from Marist college.

Our classrooms were on the back corridor. Every-so-often you would hear a door slam, but nobody was there except your class at the time. It was always doors of different rooms that would slam, not the room you were in. It's like whatever was there wanted to be heard but not "seen". The college has closed down too now. So as far as I know, it's abandoned again.
Josh, you've outdone yourself again! Your camera skills, story telling and editing is perfect! Thank you for the great video and Merry Christmas Eve 🎅🏼
I live like 15 minutes away from there and I’ve been waiting years for you to come up here and explore it !! Love you bro
With Josh's jeans you never run out of pockets.
I love and respect how your revisiting, even populated a abanded where exploers have been because your technique production is above all my expectations. I've searched youtube for other exploers but nothing compares to you homie
Please go back and find the morgue and library!!
Whaaaaaaat. This asylum is literally 5 minutes up the street from me! I don’t know when you were here if this was recent or not.... but I wish you did a meet and greet if it was recent.
Yeeeez this is an amazing video! You really are the best Josh!❤️❤️❤️
The paintings look so fresh and clean, it also looked like that its never ruined and been destroied
Still here in 2020 watching during COVid-19 🤙🏽
Amazing footage!!!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Thx Exploring with Josh. You have inspired me so much this last year that in fact, I made my own channel.
When you’re early and there aren’t any interesting comments
Except yours
lol. i hear ya.
10:10 "Feels like I'm in Berlin!" Haha, this is the proof how shabby Berlin is, if even Americans have this impression. ^^
I live at the Commons of Traverse City , which is a refurbished Kirkbride Asylum. What’s crazy is my grandparents and uncle worked here when it was still an asylum. Great Vid josh 👍
Dude this is crazy good!!! Keep it up Josh and hey you need to come back to Texas!!! I have a lot of locations to explore!!
You didn't even watch the video lol
@@fuze9458 does it matter though?
I mean, he's clearly baiting a pin or a like...
haven't seen your videos in a while, just one word to describe this: professional. loved how you combined old footage, the history. it's excellent
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 Josh!! Thank you 🙏 for uploading a new video for all of us to watch for Christmas 🎄
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 with your family.
Love 💗 you lots
Thanks for this educational video, your not the only one that finds abandoned places interesting especially asylums because it makes you wonder what it was like back then and it’s like you can feel in the atmosphere the creepyness, the sadness, anger etc of the patients. Its crazy, but this was an awesome video!
There’s an abandoned mental asylum in Denbigh in the uk and it’s massive it’s truly amazing, there are many signs that warn of security however I have been there and I know there is no security anymore, oh and there’s also a morgue if you go around the side and up to the right. To get to it you will go over a road that is by a field and to get to the asylum you have to walk across the field and through the open gate. Unfortunately due to arson the main hall is destroyed but u can still go in, there are also no stairs but hidden in the courtyard there is a ladder so you can use that. I have some pictures if you want them and I would be happy to give you more information!! Oh and there’s also a massive underground system that you can walk through
Thanks for this info...💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
Hi josh im been watching ur videos. Wish i found awsome. When i was little i had visited a abandoned ghost town with my dad and friends. I come to realize that my house is abandoned since i came to live in colombia in 2000 makes me sad i left everything behind really would enjoy recovering a album of.pictures of my childhood.
I love you Josh❤
Niice

Really shibal? 😂
This is Poughkeepsie not Hudson but it’s right near my house! Love this place! So cool to see someone I’ve followed for so long actually explore my hometown😭
I already know this is gonna be good🤷🏽♂️🤩
I love that you give information about the locations. Keep up the good work x love ya josh
Merry Christmas everyone ! Have an amazing 2019 and a beautiful day ❤️🇦🇺
Don’t be sorry for “talking too much” in your own videos. I actually like that you give your opinion and describe etc it really makes the place come alive. So thank you Josh! Merry Christmas man
It’s called the sisters of quiet mercy
Edit: I’m just kidding 😂
The drone shots really help to give you a better idea of the size and shape of the place. Seems to make it more real. Merry Christmas Josh and I’m looking forward to whatever you have planned for next year 💋 xx
2:27 "pool, school" okay doctor seuss loll
I find it amazing going into old buildings because then you get to picture and imagine what it was like back then when it was really up and running
We still have an open asylum in our state it’s the only one left in my state located in Mississippi
dude its astonishing how massive these asylum compounds were built back then... like it always makes me wonder WHY and HOW they were even able to build such vast facilities... like were there even that many patients to take in?? crazy vibes. also - love how u put like footage from actual informative things they would do back then... creepy af but hella interesting!!
Still working and uploading videos during the holidays... that’s josh for you 💯😇💕
17:58 just looked up the journal article and it has some interesting topics on what psychiatry was like at the time. Electroshock therapy was apparently an appropriate and accepted form of therapy for all mental disorders at the time, likely that they were using this on many of the patients.
Merry Christmas Everyone here from Philippines
That bottle you found of iodoform was used as an antiseptic for wounds back in days of old.
I like their drawings on the walls
Hi Josh what a place to explore, it might be falling apart but wow. Thanks for taking us along with you all. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy new year. From Nancy in Scotland x

sailor scot 30 thanks for not turning this thread toxic
This is in my hometown. Poughkeepsie, New York its called the Mid Hudson psychiatric center. Most of it has been torn down since, they are building a huge center with apartments, stores, its a shame, all guarded off now.
hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha hahahahahahah merry Christmas everyone!!!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas 🎄
Hahahahahahaha hhahahahahha
You mean Christmas eve
Merry Christmas to you too happy new year and I hope you have a great day or night
I live across the Hudson River and never knew about this place! Thanks for exploring!
come explore the old Syracuse state school in NY!
You should do a part 2 so we can see the library and maybe the morgue. I understand it’s completely sealed but somebody might’ve already found a way in. Really cool video
Did you EVER theorise the possibility that in a past life you were in some way or another involved with old buildings? Especially hospitals and asylums? THAT could explain your fascination with these old buildings and architecture?! Either that OR your were an artist, designer or builder maybe involved in the creation of such old beauty as we know it today!
Just a thought!
The iodoform you found is a medicated strip of cloth that is used to pack wounds. I'm a nurse and have used it many times.
I’m surprised you guys even got there, security has been extra because some idiots lit a fire in one of the first buildings. I love going here and I love seeing videos from you that are local to me.
Amy Dunne where is this?
Nah I went like a month after the fire and there’s not even security anymore
TwoTone AP Poughkeepsie/Hyde Park NY
Fascinating!
Was this one of the places that was self-sufficient where they farmed their own veggies and had livestock?
The older buildings are gorgeous. What a shame they couldn’t have been repurposed!
Thank you
18:53 *triggered* The can is rusty! If the can is rusted it's made from iron and not tin!
Bernler75 Cans aren’t made of iron that’s obviously tin 🙄
@Jason Bouphasavanh Are you stupid? Rust is one of the 16 oxidation states of iron; it's when iron has been exposed to oxygen and have the chemical symbol "Fe2O3" which means the molecule has 2 iron atoms and 3 oxygen atoms. Most metals can oxidate, but then you don't fucking call it "rust" because rust is specific to iron.
@@abbyprovias1587 They were made from iron in the old days, look it up...
Bernler75 i did.. didn’t find anything you can’t make iron bendable or thin enough to be made into cans. just accept you’re wrong
How old is that can?
Woah! That looks amazing! I mean to be honest, it’s amazing how we got to see some before and after pictures!

I've looked this place up and am surprised that it only closed down in 2003. The current state that it's in makes me think that it closed down more like 30 yrs ago than just 15.
IM GOING IN FULL SCREENNNNN.....wish me luck😂😂😂😂
Hey I’ve been watching you since your USA road trip I love everything you do.
Nice yeah we got a few videos here and I also shot a music video there | Hudson Flo - "BRAINLESS"
There is another kirkbride psychiatric hospital. It's called Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital. It's in Morris Plains, NJ. You should check it out. The main kirkbride building was demolished in 2015.
Merry Christmas Josh!
And you to
Hey Josh there is another hospital in Poughkeepsie, Ny that is abandoned also about 45 minutes to an hour away from Hudson. Almost across from Marist college.
Megan Staats
That's this one.
