Beneath an Abandoned Hospital: Thoughts from Places
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2012
- In which John visits an abandoned hospital, and the steam tunnels beneath it, with his friends Ransom Riggs (author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children) and Elyse Marshall. This is as close to a horror movie as a vlogbrothers video will ever be.

Since I am not currently residing in an abandoned hospital, no, I will not be trying this at home.
I love how you phrased that
"We found our way to the records room, full of EKGs of hearts that had stopped beating decades ago." Holy Shit that is heavy!
He's very poetic. It must be divinity school (or maybe divinity school attracts poets...); a ministerial intern I know weaves beautiful verses, poignant and relevant every time.
He should really be a writer lol
Watch 'Sunrise', a beautiful silent movie, with some friends, and then point out partway through that everyone in that movie is now dead, even the infant baby. I recommend during the drunken pig scene!
He IS a writer...
I feel like it would be wonderful to have those old EKGs as a reminder of other people's lives and as a reminder to live ours.
Don't try this at home, try it at old, abandoned hospitals.
+Blakeisnotblue I like your way of thinking.
Or don't make abandoned hospital your home! :D
"I saw a figure in the mirror and about peed myself before realizing that it was me." I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time XD
"We then found out way to the records room; full of EKGs of hearts that had stopped beating decades ago." I damn near cried that was so beautiful. Slow clap for you, John Green.
This is one of those Vlogbrothers videos that I love to re watch.
John I apologize because youthful curiosity causes me to try this at home.
How have the three years between the time this was created and the time i've posted this comment changed you? Who were you when you wrote this, and are you still the same?
@@XxLuke117xX what about you? It’s been 2 years where are you now? What are you doing?
@@stopicks rare tumors, bachelors degree, fiancé. A lot can change in two years :)
I’m here on a rewatch because it’s so good!
This reminds me of Margo.
I was expecting to see a troll hole
I assume you've all seen the abandoned building video in Detroit...
The inspiration for Paper Towns and complete with a troll hole.

Are all great authors like besties or something?
Seems so 😂
John also know MT Anderson
Dude... you're afraid of standing on tables.
DaaaahWhoosh +++++++
I really want to go and explore some old abandoned buildings. As a friend used to say "take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints". A quote I find should apply to more than it does.
I think I'd like this friend. That is a good saying to have in one's arsenal.
Isn't a beautiful thing to think that that childhood curiosity and excitement of discovering never goes away? God damn existence is amazing.
CrimsonOptics Its very relieving, as well, to me anyway.
Ikr! I sometimes have those moments when I'm thinking 'Wow. Living is awesome!' I know it might seem weird, but with all the poverty, disasters, crimes and other hardships and nasty stuff, there are things that makes this world so beautiful. I often find myself overthinking about how precise nature is, or stuff like mechanisms behind objects we use so much in our lives. And the feeling everyone gets when exploring and when being face to face with the unknown, it just feels like magic, no matter the age. I have come to the conclusion that even if I often hate some people for what they are doing or saying, I still love them. Paradoxical, I know, but true;D

Watching this video, I realized why John's books are so popular. He is a magician with words. No, it is more than that. He seems to easily spew sentences and phrases that resonate within my mind and it is a wonder that he is not voicing documentaries.
Wow, the way you worded this video... It is very clear that you make an excellent writer. I am finally going to read one of your books.
Zelantheral what do you think of them now?
Honestly, let's get a "Who Gards the Gards?" T-Shirt.
I second this!
John sounded like an author. :) very poetic
He is an author. He wrote The Fault in Our Stars, Will Grayson Will Grayson, Looking for Alaska and a couple others
Charlotte Bourdon that's what I mean. xD
Charlotte Bourdon I love your username BTW...that book was the best! :)
J Huish If you're talking about the book Star Girl, quite agreed
Yup! Best book ever! :)
'do not try this at home'..... because we all live in abandoned hospitals ...... and wake up at 8:30
Oh wait, are you an eloquent novelist?
I absolutely adore these videos, they are beautiful. Thanks John.
That is the most amazing building I could imagine exploring!
I love exploring abandoned buildings and such, but I'm a bit of a weirdo that finds beauty in desolation. When I lived in Pennsylvania, my ex and I would go to Centralia every Halloween and find some building to explore, except for our first year together where we went to PennHurst Asylum, a super creepy abandoned mental asylum.
Anyone that lives in eastern Pennsylvania, I highly recommend you look into either one of them sometime, they are amazing to see, and freaky as hell. Centrelia especially if you've ever played Silent Hill 2.
This was a really well-done video!
oh hi there even from 9 years ago
This makes me want to wander around in an abandoned building and write. I'm sure that's more educational than school, right?
This is one of my favourite vlogbrothers videos. I love it so much because it really makes me understand just how John wrote his books so insightfully. I'm not saying that he isn't smart in his other videos, though that is debatable (see 'Eating a Fat Sandwich' or any other punishment), but this just makes me see the true meaning and genius behind the words on the pages I love so much.
Paper Towns, anyone? :)
I wish I knew how to find abandoned things like that. That would actually be really cool to explore.
I live in Saskatchewan (a praire province in Canada) and the one thing I love about where I live is the abundance of abandoned buildings. If you drive for about 30 mins outside of my town in any direction you will come across abandoned buildings (farm houses along with barns, etc). A friend and I once took an entire day and just drove until we found buildings to explore. We even found an entire abandoned town (about 8 of 9 houses completely dilapidated). I loved how delicate every building felt. Like it could collapse if we breathed too hard. I have no idea where you live, but if you ever have the opportunity to explore a long deserted building I would highly recommend it.
Vanessa Hill I don't mean to be creepy, but in which town do you live? I mean in which city.
Eruvian danubeon Saskatoon :)
i have seen this before, but i literally just finished reading miss peregrine's home for peculiar children and it brought me back to this video. Knowing that Ransom Riggs is an urban explorer of abandoned places totally explains the settings of that novel. (which is an amazing book by the way !)
"i saw a figure in the mirror and about peed myself before realising it was me" 😂😂😂😂
I'm pretty sure I've seen at least a dozen movies that were filmed there. I want go see it myself, now.
I love going to abandoned factories or old asylums, the story each room can tell is astounding.
This reminded me of the abandoned mental hospital system in my home town. It was abandoned at some point in the 90's and is kind of a rite of passage for high school students to enter the hospitals at some point before they graduate. I don't believe in ghosts, but I was very nearly convinced the first time I went in there and every time after that
my brother and i once explored an abandoned porcelain factory in eastern germany. there were old molds and even thousands of espressocups lying around. It was creepy and adventurous and beautiful!
I really, really love that thumbnail. So artsy!
This has to be one of my favorite videos ever created. Thank you.
+Madelyn Richman SAME I love this video
I live in an old fifties boom town that has nothing but abandoned factories now. I've always wanted to explore them and yesterday i finally did. We broke in through one of the windows and it was one of the coolest things ever. It was an old GM plant so we saw old stamping machines, old springs etc. The coolest thing i think was being able to take a bearing from the fifties that is still in its original packaging and everything. Just imagine how collectable something like that is now.
That is so cool. Honestly about a hundred thousand story ideas popped into my head four seconds into the first shot of the the abandoned mental hospital. And my goodness John Green you NEED to do an audio-book
John got his author on during that last narrative.
i always love the "thoughts from places" video's! they're some of my favorites!
My friend gave me "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" for either Christmas or my birthday, and it is truly amazing. I loved it.
god damn this man's a true poet.
I love it when John speaks like he writes
DFTBA :)
Wow! Lived just a few miles from there most of my life and have never been in that building. It’s amazing the things we miss in our own neighborhood. Thank you for the tour!
Every time I think you out do yourself, John, you fail my expectorations and do something EVEN better! I love love love your thoughts from places. Thanks for being awesome!
Oh gosh, I bought the novel Miss Peregrines home for peculiar children at a small but popular market in Sydney and I honestly didn't take notice of who actually wrote it because I was too interested in the writing someone had scribbled in through the book in a different language. Great book, it's a definite must read. I can't believe John Green is friends with Ransom Riggs, two fabulous authors.
this looks so much like outlast its freaky
I was thinking the exact same thing omg
This is one of the most beautiful vlogbrothers videos ever, in my opinion. I'd love to go to abandoned buildings with friends like these.
Always been my favorite Vlogbrothers
Is this the same hospital from the young blood chronicles?
I mean...possibly.
THAT`S HOW AN EPISODE OF SUPERNATURAL STARTS WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
This video is the dream. I miss living in the same area as my urbex friends, but at least I can rewatch these, which are a lot more interesting than your basic urbex videos. I'd love to see more!
Probably one of my favorite Vlogbrothers videos ever, way to go!
thoughts from places,
so good
I wanna be a part of that friend group. LETS EXPLORE ALL THE CREEPY
I love your narration of it. It sounds like reading a letter, but listening to it and its not a letter... so uh.. yeah.
i love watching john's thoughts from places videos because it lets me into the mind of a novelist and isn't that amazing
This sounds like a reading of a short story. Thats what happens when an author blogs! haha, I love him...
Was that where they filmed Grave Encounters? Because that tub and empty room and all the hallways and underground tunnel all look like it was from that movie set
Your thoughts from places videos are definitely one of my favorite genres (your videos have genres XD). They just have the most interesting flavor... They're all so similar but so different. They're awesome
probably one of the best and beautifully narrated vlogbrothers vids!
My bands' name is Mildew and Bird Dung
John... have you seen supernatural or any horror movie? If not, I would like inform you that you were just in the first five minutes of both
This is probably my favourite vlogbrothers video. It isn't often that the nerdfighters get to experience John's literary brilliance unless we have read his incredible books and the way this video was shot was all simply genius. This is everything a great vlog needs to be outstanding.
I love all the vlogbrother videos, but my favorite ones by far have always been the Thoughts from Places.
I thought I saw a little blur at about 3:07 but I'm not sure....
OMG!!! I thought I was the only person who saw that!
I think it was a light reflection
Okay the bath tub thing scared me a bit... I really have to pee... But there's a tub in there... q.q
This is possibly the best video I have ever seen. Which is saying something, as I spend half my life on youtube
I always love Thoughts from Places, even when they take place in a creepy abandoned hospital.
Why must we be children to be curious?
paper towns research ..
I have found the video that will be my go to if I ever want to write some kind of horror story. Thank you for this, and I can only say I am immensly glad that I found this at 2 pm rather than 2am.
I love it. You're such a novelist, even in your vlogs. Even your description of the place is spoken in a poetic manner. It's as though I'm not watching a video so much but a visual of an Edgar Allen Poe short story.
The way he talks through out the video is so poetic and soft. The way he describes everything is amazing.
Very great video. The narration helped a lot. (:
This is beyond cool. I love your writing and I love your narrating, you're just brilliant. I wish I could explore abandon buildings.
I know you said a while ago that thoughts from places videos are consistently less popular than your other videos, but I just want to say they they're my favourite things you do- so poignant and thought-provoking, and you always instill such a sense of intensity and calm to your experiences.
Seriously one of the best VlogBrothers videos I've ever seen
favorite vlogbrothers video. i love nothing more than abandoned buildings, and never have i found one that beautiful in real life.
No matter how many times I watch this video, I cease to be amazed by his words and descriptions, and how such a place can be so beautiful, but at the same time, unsightly in a number of ways.
Makes you think about humanity, and as he said, the temporariness.
Today, for the first time, I added every vlogsbrothers video I watched to my favorites. I didn't realize how poetic they were until like 10 minutes ago!
John, this video reminded me so much of your book "Paper Towns". I loved that book so much and it's odd that what the empty rooms in the basement of this hospital looks like is kind of what I pictured in my head for the mini mall in that book. I love you, and your book and yours and Hank's videos and I just wanted to let you know (:
Great video!!!! I'd like to see more of this footage? Sooo cool, John.
after all these years i think this is my favorite vlogbrothers videos
This video is just, it's very much spoken like your books are written
Some funny
Some cool
And some amazingly poetic pieces
Aghhhh I'm completely positive that this is going to be one of my favorite vlogbrothers videos of all time
Awesome! I love decay. This is officially my favorite Vlog Brothers video!
John, i have been under a cloud of writers block for the last few weeks! this video has utterly inspired me -Thank you and Happy Birthday
One of the most interesting videos I've seen on the Vlogbrother's channel
This is one of my absolute favorite videos that gets watched many, many times.
This is my favourite vlogbrothers video!
oh, the romance of it all. your narrations are simply grand.
I love listening to you narrate this vlog adventure :)
the scariest thoughts from places video but still so beautiful and cool, definitely would not have the guts to go in there, also reminds me a bit of Neverwhere
You're a wonderful narrator and I love your use of words!
I just finished TFiOS about 2 minutes after watching this video. What a great video to finally finish getting caught up with. At long last, time to subscribe!
You are a writer. Even if I didn't know about your best sellers, the way you describe the emptiness and inexplicable beauty of the things around you gives it away. I'm off to purchase a John Green novel!
I got scared just watching this! You are surely braver than I. Also, I'm currently reading Miss Peregrine's and loving every bit. :)
Great video, I love exploring abandoned places as well.
This was an amazing video, well done john WELL DONE
This is one of my absolute favourite vlogbrothers videos, and I don't know why.
Revisited this for the first time since the video came out. In my opinion, it might it's one of the best thoughts from places.
Why are you so fantastically poetic even when talking about a semi-gutted hospital? I love it.
I love these kind of John videos
lovely narration at the end john loved the bit about being a child again :)
