Dan: "We all gotta die, sometime." Will: "Are you gonna to kill me tonight, Dan?" Dan: "...Put your camera down." Will: ~Laughs~ Legend has it, Will was never seen or heard of ever again.
Bro, this is a video about an abandoned and vandalized building where all manner of disgusting and abhorrent things have probably happened since the building was closed. The Chillhop/ASMR/Background noise for sleep videos are the opposite way from here.
Man if only forest haven had less graffiti it would be so much more "creepy". Still an amazing place, love exploring old places and seeing and hearing things i havent heard in a while, like the rotary phone. Such a satisfying noise haha. Awesome video Dan!
UPDATE: This video was posted in 2017 and it's amazing how vandalized this place has been since then! The graffiti now is unbelievable. BUT the purpose of this post. The popular parking area at the restaurant on the highway is now blocked off to parking. They have wooden posts in cement with chains blocking the entrances. The also have a new NO PARKING-NO TRESPASSING sign posted! DO NOT PARK THERE ANYMORE! The car shop next to that is usually so packed with cars you can't park there either. That leaves the EZ Storage on the other side of the parking lot. It won't be long before they put signs up also. Be careful where you park! Make sure there are no signs about illegal parking. Coming back to your car in the middle of the night and finding it gone is no fun!! Be safe and cautious out there.
The crunch of the snow under your feet,the same for the debris inside,the falling rain,the sound of the train ,those views to the outside.All add up to the ambiance you felt and shared!
Candy Santillo The creepy part is that the operating train tracks are miles away. There are tracks that are closer, but haven't been used for 40 maybe 50 years. The low clouds could be insulating and carrying the train sounds. I don't think so. I'm the same distance from the tracks in the another direction. I can't hear the train. A ghost train sounds more romantic
Erin Smith,was I mistaken perhaps or could you hear it too? Thank you for the comment and interesting if eerie information.your info kinda stopped me in my tracks.
I heard it, too. I was wracking my brain because the closest train is definitely miles away. Freight trains use that track. I just can't imagine that the train horn could be heard from that far away. Although there probably is some scientific explanation
It's 7 in the morning here and I see this pop up off to a great start in fixing my sleeping schedule lol. Dan you feed my addiction for my love for abandoned asylums thank you sir.
something about forest haven makes me always want to go back, been once since it's been in my dreams constantly, i have this urge to go back it's like something is tied to me there, it's very strange
It's a shame because it seems like everyone who trapezes through these spots now has to treat them like a youtube comment section. "OMG, everyone must know I was here while I ruin the history!"
People have been marking up places since they robbed the Pharaohs' Tombs. Name and date normally or "so and so was here" kinda stuff. The Romans added the "penis" graffiti to the repertoire and I'd be willing to bet pentagrams and "satan" tags started after the 60s and just say that one is Allister Crowley's fault. But you are totaly right that it is a shame that people explore a place and their first thought is to "leave their mark"
@2:35 those cribs they kept babies in until age 6......and they let a doctor whos medical liscence was suspended continue to work there? Wtf? Pennhurst state school in PA, WILLOWBROOK in Staten Island,& others all had same complaints of rampant sexual, physical abuse. Sad. And these places have a very dark energy my aunt worked in one& said under no conditions would she go to one abandoned... shes got many stories..
What a great afternoon surprise. Glad you shared this w/us, Dan : ) It's like a little "hold me over" while awaiting my next fix of "Another Dirty Room"! It's fabulous. Also got to see the video of you giving that speech recently at that seminar type gathering. You were great! It's nice to see that your hard work and dedication is paying off, and gaining the attn. it deserves. Be sure to let us know any updates regarding The Sun's favorite Instagram : )
+Anthony Rupe Forest Haven was a literal hell on earth. Patients living in absolute misery. Reading about what occurred there will make anyone shudder. Just horrific.
I was at work and had to wait All day for this. Thanks for reminding me that this sort of thing is what got me hooked in the first place. You go where and when I wouldnt dare go. That place was so creepy, I got the shivers a few times.
i never knew you had a 2nd channel. this is great because i love to study your videos to help me make my videos better myself. your videos are really entertaining to watch
I'm glad Dan could explore the depths of my home town. Don't let this be your first impression of Laurel... it's quiet, but you'll always have something to do.
At 0:33`in the upper right corner 2Am. Judging by the amount & unevenness of light, it's much later. A quick check & Farmers Almanac reveals for 1 Jan. 2015, an arbitrary date picked for the snow, & one which is more than adequately accurate for the purpose of making the point, reveals that *Dawn Breaks @ 5.50 Am* & Darkness Descends @ 6.30 Pm, must be one of those times OR they've moved the building to Northern Latitudes, like Alaska, personally I'm going with the 1st hypothesis. lol
Aw man, that was the storm that stretched from Canada to South Carolina and dumped two fucking feet of snow on me in Upstate NY! I remember being awake and watching the Facebook LIVE broadcast from this place.
The last building was so delapitaded, ive never seen anything like it. And the morgue at the end, looks as if its been sitting for 50 years good video!!
This my jam sense 1996 1997 1998 We went to this first building , the last time we went Scary evening , we ran outta there so fast on that faithful hot summer evening in 1998
14:46 ok this might just be me but there was a mans voice saying something like "he's dead" I thought it was will but the tone sounds so much different am I going crazy
Times like this I expect you to come across some squatters or drug addicts inside. I wonder how many have scooted out as they hear you coming in...or just quietly watched you in the dark!
DAMN YOU!! This post is NOT directed to Dan Bell. We went to FH recently and halfway through the woods we heard teenage girls laughing, whooping it up and talking very loud! DAMN YOU! It's people like you that make it tough for the serious explorers to visit these places! If we heard you in the woods don't you think the security staff could also hear you? We never did find you but we kept hearing your voices. So we really couldn't enjoy this visit because we were nervous about security coming and looking for YOUR loudmouths! The rule when visiting these places is to be QUIET, don't vandalize and be safe! This is Federal land and when you are here you are trespassing! Subject to arrest and fines! Because of recent arson at this place the security is more active but if have stealth and use common sense you can go through this place without being caught. We had a map with all the building on it. We avoided the building next to the high security juvenile facility. The one thing working in our favor is the entire place is over grown with weeds, bushes and trees. But PLEASE, don't bring alcohol, guns, drugs or spray paint! Use common sense and don't ruin it for the rest of us! Rant over. Be safe out there!
@@lukebausum3135 Lol's! Don't bring knives or bayonets! Seriously, there is a video out there showing 4 guys walking through Forest Haven with rifles!! What the Hell for! So I wasn't kidding when I said don't bring guns!
Hey Dan, got a question for you and I'm sure it's already been asked and answered before, but how come Rick never comes along on your adventures to abandoned places?
That "RAGING WINTER STORM" sounds more like a light snowfall, Dan.
Dan: "We all gotta die, sometime."
Will: "Are you gonna to kill me tonight, Dan?"
Dan: "...Put your camera down."
Will: ~Laughs~
Legend has it, Will was never seen or heard of ever again.
AceKulpster1988 R.I.P. Will
what kind of drug are you doing ace thats pretty strange man
AceKulpster1988 lol😂😂
Thats crazy people thought u was being sick but they really said that .it ended creepy lol.
+karl schweizer its what Dan and Will really said lol
ahhh... the sweet soft pitter patter of rain drops
as you enter hell.
ron s Best comment all week
rain drops. drop tops.
It's like a scary start to an ASMR video. Also, it looks so bright out for it being around 2 AM
I like your user name
ron s i love the rain
This channel is the great reminder that RUclips can still be an amazing place, with great content and a friendly, loving community.

It might be good to carry a pencil from the 70's to dial those phones with. And don't show the hand unless it also has a lit cigarette.
shoulda seen it a few years ago, most of this is recent. its ashame what happened.
This place is so fucked up, looks like it went out of business well before 1991.
@cvmiata Don't get caught!
I love the gloomy look of the night sky, really sets the mood for the exploration of this creepy asylum. Great video as always!
Haven't see this one before, love the snow outside glowing off the light in the dark. It's like a strange creepy dream.

Makes it even more interesting 😊 I'd have never known if you hadn't told me.
It's 7 in the morning here and I see this pop up off to a great start in fixing my sleeping schedule lol. Dan you feed my addiction for my love for abandoned asylums thank you sir.
I've never seen so much vandalism in my life. Holy shit. Great video, Dan!
I love how snow makes even the darkest nights a little brighter.
What's up Dan Bell ? The guys at firehouse 42 love the videos! Thanks and be safe
Fire Rescue Guy You guys be safe, too :)
Fire Rescue Guy same! :)
Awesome man! Tell the fellas I said hello!
Leigh Ann Kaman Thanks !
Dan Bell / Film It Sure will man !
That rain/snow sound is perfect for one of those ambient sound machines
So bright for 2AM. Must be the city's lights reflecting off the clouds.
Gah... I forgot how weird nighttime storms look when you're near a city... Completely adds to the gloomy atmosphere of the place!!
JulietteA right? It's always eerie seeing clouds amber colored from light pollution/chemicals.
I hope the patients found peace in the after life.
Some say spirits leech onto the ones who visit.
We use to go here in mid late 90s
When I live, grew up in Brooklyn Park
something about forest haven makes me always want to go back, been once since it's been in my dreams constantly, i have this urge to go back it's like something is tied to me there, it's very strange
Why do penis' and satan seem to be the theme to these places. Kinda Fruedian
Yeah graffiti in general is pretty over done and just annoying. The only type of graffiti I dont mind is the crazy looking art pieces.
It's a shame because it seems like everyone who trapezes through these spots now has to treat them like a youtube comment section. "OMG, everyone must know I was here while I ruin the history!"

But you are totaly right that it is a shame that people explore a place and their first thought is to "leave their mark"
The graffiti is pretty stupid, but in an abandoned,and decaying building, really isn't destroying history......The elements are doing that.
Dan Bell You are the BEST and a Beast! Making videos, 2:30 AM and in the middle of an ice/sleet storm.
rip Will
Sad history...I bet the negative energy was crazy there.
Incredible video!!👍😄 Forest Haven is a really neat place!! Glad you guys didn't run into any security!!
@2:35 those cribs they kept babies in until age 6......and they let a doctor whos medical liscence was suspended continue to work there? Wtf? Pennhurst state school in PA, WILLOWBROOK in Staten Island,& others all had same complaints of rampant sexual, physical abuse. Sad. And these places have a very dark energy my aunt worked in one& said under no conditions would she go to one abandoned... shes got many stories..
the sounds of the snow hitting the mic sounds wonderful to my ears lol
The howling train in the background gives it that really eerie sense.🚂😱
Poor Will.. Best Film It ending.
"Art thou feeling it now Mr. Krabs" at 10:15 😂 proof that sometimes graffiti can be poetic
I'm feeling something ... Lol
“IM ALREADY HEARING VOICES!!” 😂
Yay new video! Yay Forest Haven! Thank you so much Dan & Will. I've loved this place for years from afar.
I forgot how calming winter on the
east coast sounds, nice vid guys.
Can't wait for the next Dirty Room Ep.
:)
Tough winter ASMR.
This is pretty bright for 2AM near for Fort Meade.
one of the coolest vids you've posted in awhile
And that was the last time anyone ever seen or heard from Will again. RIP Will

YAAAAY! A new 19 minute creepy Dan Bell video!!! YYYES!!!
It's my favorite kind of Dan Bell video! :p

just googled this place and wow this was a very horrible place. so sad what they did to these people
+Anthony Rupe Forest Haven was a literal hell on earth. Patients living in absolute misery. Reading about what occurred there will make anyone shudder. Just horrific.
Dan Bell / Film It Unfortunately it's a constant in these facilities.
Damn that place was old and creepy!! Thanks Dan,!!! I saw your Ted talk, you were great!! You two stay safe out there!!!!😀😀
Great setting for a Horror movie.
I was at work and had to wait All day for this. Thanks for reminding me that this sort of thing is what got me hooked in the first place. You go where and when I wouldnt dare go. That place was so creepy, I got the shivers a few times.
ps: if youre ever in the Leon Count, Florida area, I can turn you on to some creepy ass places nobody knows about.
At 4:25 there is a small shadow that darts from right to left but its really fast just thought I should point this out! Thank you for you'r time,
Creepy. Asylum. Winter. Storm. Sounds like the next big Metallica song! Love this
Charles Ehlers That sounds like it could be a good song. Why not start writing
Looks so bright out for it being 2am!
Those must have been some low clouds that night. Cool to see the light pollution from the city reflecting off the storm.
I remember the same winter storm ambiance lighting in Philly.
I love that random chair just standing there! Lol so creepy. Awesome video guys. As always
SO happy to see a Dan Bell urbex video!!! Very cool. No idea how y'all get up that early to do this.
Nice job Dan, just finished editing my Forest Haven vid for Friday. Lol
@9:03 "HAHAH!"
Right after dan says "here's the trail"
Damn nice catch that’s fuckin weird man
Dan I'm just gonna go ahead and mail the Oscar to ya.. .pay no mind that its made out of chicken wire and Velveeta.. it still counts!
😂
even more special!!
I'm glad these kind of videos are back :D
Creepy as all hell I got goosebumps after googling this place...Love your work guys you rock it!!!!MANY THANKS
Very funny ending. Thanks for that. Because the rest of the video scared the hell out of me.
i never knew you had a 2nd channel. this is great because i love to study your videos to help me make my videos better myself. your videos are really entertaining to watch
First thing I do is check for new Dan Bell videos.
love this stuff
that hazy orange sky is menacing...
Ill never understand why people have to destroy everything. Smfh.
That would be cool if you had heat sensor/infared camera in here AWESOME VIDEOS KEEP IT UP
Very Cool. Thanks Dan and Will. Stay Safe.
i always watch the ads for you Dan .
the beginning sounds of this video gave me major goosebumps. love
I think the sounds at the beginning of this video are actually just Dan crinkling a candy bar wrapper near a mike.
Well this place is scary as hell...
Imagine if they'd heard footsteps while filming in this place and then turned a corner and four feet in front of them was The Owl Man!
I'm glad Dan could explore the depths of my home town. Don't let this be your first impression of Laurel... it's quiet, but you'll always have something to do.
Amazing video. Glad you didn't give up on urbex!
I find this strangely peaceful.
in all your creepy videos i can always hear trains in the distance.
Love your videos bro!!!!

thank you Dan Bell for your nice video I really love it. this place was beautiful building when they build it . right now just a little memory remains
I loved your TED talk Dan, it was great.
Great video , I love these creepy places video. Keep up the great work. You're videos Rock👍👍
that mesmerizing chair at 6:20 was actually pretty creative.
Creepy as all hell! The whole place is nuts! ;)
Raging winter storm is a bit over the top... lol but fun video!
Aw man, that was the storm that stretched from Canada to South Carolina and dumped two fucking feet of snow on me in Upstate NY! I remember being awake and watching the Facebook LIVE broadcast from this place.
Asylums are the best videos, by far
Dan Bell , your videos are Awesome.
Dan, you should check out Ft Howard in Dundalk. Awesome place.
Fantastic video, you guys are so brave going into there places at night. Keep up the good work!!!
The last building was so delapitaded, ive never seen anything like it. And the morgue at the end, looks as if its been sitting for 50 years good video!!
The rotary phone would make a good intro to a video. Very old and cool sound.
The rain sounds so lovely :) tyvm for sharing Dan!
This my jam sense 1996 1997 1998
We went to this first building , the last time we went
Scary evening , we ran outta there so fast on that faithful hot summer evening in 1998
The opening looked straight out of a Black Metal Video, which tells me it’s going to be a great video
14:46 ok this might just be me but there was a mans voice saying something like "he's dead" I thought it was will but the tone sounds so much different am I going crazy
Definitely heard 3rd voice 👻
I heard inside of you! But you are right that’s odd man
In my opinion your the best at this! Thanks
Brilliant video. Interesting 😊
It's even creepier with Dan's heavy breathing...lol..
8:47 ...
You know u was waiting for the COD zombies song , for this map to start lolllllll

Wow, at the 15:45 point and after that part of the building started reminding me of the wreck of the Titanic...
7:50 LOL Donald went there!
The sky is pretty light for 2:00 am
Classic Dan Bell!!! Yes!!
So creepy! Love it!
Hey Dan, got a question for you and I'm sure it's already been asked and answered before, but how come Rick never comes along on your adventures to abandoned places?
He does, I've seen him in a couple.
