In today’s video, we travel to the deep south where we explore an old abandoned funeral home that seemed to have unexpectedly closed down amidst negligence lawsuits and state board allegations of inadequate business practices. It appears that due to these pending and ongoing legal battles, the funeral home suddenly closed down, and therefore, the place had left everything behind, much of it still intact. On the rural backroads of South Carolina sits an abandoned funeral home with a rich history that began nearly 40 years ago. Before establishing his funeral home business, the original owner a ..read more

During one day of regular, routine exploring, we happened to get turned around and almost as if it was a gift sent from the urban exploring gods, in doing so we happened to stumble upon this abandoned medical clinic. Not knowing what to expect or what was inside, we cautiously made our way into the two-story monstrosity of a building. As we carefully maneuvered our way through the maze-like hallways, corridors, and various rooms, we realized that the nearly the entire first floor, which had definitely been the medical clinic, as evidenced by one room still having the operating lights hanging ..read more

In today’s video, we will be exploring the remnants of a vast abandoned prison complex that featured approximately a half dozen uniquely designed cell blocks; the majority of which were two-tiers tall, surrounded by chow halls, reception areas, various guard booths, and a large centralized hospital. Exploring this prison was certainly not for the faint of heart, mainly as it is directly next door to an active prison and therefore, constantly swarmed by guards, police officers, and other prison staff, that if they would have seen or heard us it would have certainly ended badly. The historic pr ..read more

This abandoned state penitentiary has a rich and storied history that dates back to its original construction back in 1898. Interestingly, the prison was a strategically designed correctional facility that was supposed to be primarily focused on prisoner rehabilitation, rather than punishment. But unfortunately as the years passed on, it became more known for its harsh conditions, violence, and for its extreme brutality more than anything else. The prison was originally built as a maximum-security prison and was intended to house the most dangerous criminals in the state, including murderers ..read more

This abandoned psychiatric hospital was originally founded in 1848 as a state lunatic asylum. It was built to provide the best treatment and comforting aid to the area’s mentally ill and criminally insane, however it would go on to do anything but that. And in fact, it pretty much ended up as the “posterchild” of the most infamous of all state run psychiatric institutions in the world. The different types of abuse and medical experimentations that the patients suffered at the hospital are jaw dropping to say the least, especially for today’s standards, but for some techniques this was from a ..read more

The history of Long Island Hospital in Boston Massachusetts dates back to the early 1600’s when it was first settled by the Native Americans. But things would all change for the island in the late 1700’s when it soon became a defensive stronghold during the American Revolutionary War and again in the late 1800’s when it was used as a military camp during the Civil War. Following the Civil War, the need for a dedicated facility to care for the sick and injured became obviously and increasingly apparent. At the time medical knowledge was still in its infancy and diseases such as tuberculosis, c ..read more

During our latest European road trip, we both knew of this amazing abandoned pathology school with a 21 body cooler morgue that we really wanted to explore. The school, which was part of a much larger hospital campus, had a long standing reputation for teaching the area’s top pathologists and had been recognized for such work several times throughout its years of operation. The school trained medical doctors and other medical students in the field of pathology, where they would study and learn about the various bodily fluids, tissues, and organs, all to correctly diagnose and treat various di ..read more
