What's up top 10 fam hope you’re having an awesome day, Im your host Ayman Hasan and
welcome back to another video.
Doing this video is going against the very fibre of my being you guys, if there is one
thing or trope i hate and am scared of more than anything it is abandoned hospitals and
asylums.
They creep me out on another level and so do all these stories, but i have put my heart
rate aside to host this video so please please.
If im going down, im taking all our viewers with me lets go, these are the top 10 Scary
Abandoned Hospitals - Part 2.
Starting us off with number 10 is The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.
Located in West Virginia, the beautiful estate opened up in 1863 and was originally meant
to house 250 but ended up housing close to 2500.
The asylum was problematic from day 1, i mean it had a separate wing just for black people.
Like ? either way by 1881 it was disastrous, the hospital was infested with patients, rooms
meant for 1 now housed 4 or 5 people, the farm and dairy couldnt meet the demand of
so many people and patients soon began to starve and their mental conditions declined.
The patients were uncontrollable, they wouldnt listen to the staff, most wild patients were
actually locked up in cages to save space and save the staff.
When investigating the hospital, a reporter found a body cooler open with a body inside,
they found patients sleeping on the floor and freezing due to lack of heat.
Sanitation was at an all time low, by the time the place closed its cemetery had been
expanded to 666 acres to make space for all the dying people.
When visitors go there now they can feel the rage, they can feel the bad energy in the
air, the asylum was abandoned and nothing was removed from the inside so it looks exactly
as it did.
Ripped wallpaper from the patients, visitors have even seen the wallpaper peeling off in
front of their eyes.
Screams and howls from different wings of the building, cages rattling like someone
was taking their anger out on them.
It was a lot.
Coming in at number 9 is Old Changi Hospital.
This one legit just looks like the set of the horror movie of my nightmares.
Crumbling corridors, peeling walls, the abandoned hospital located in Singapore was built way
back in 1935.
It was used for the British RAF and when they withdrew 7 years later, the Japanese used
it as a prison camp for British soldiers and anyone they deemed to be ‘anti-Japanese’.
Its said the Japanese secret police had their base there and were known to be ruthless,
many prisoners were tortured tirelessly till they died.
Some say they used to impale the severed heads of prisoners on stakes and put them out in
public.
It was bought in 2006 to be turned into a resort but that fell through.
Some say it was because of financial troubles while others blame it on the hauntings.
Visitors have heard screaming on the property and seen shadow people during the night and
the day.
Some have even seen the apparitions o bloody soldiers walking through the hall and the
creepiest one for me the ghost of a little boy that just sits and stares into the distance.
A movie was shot in the hospital and the cast and crew said they heard loud noises and voices
and saw a floating woman with a black aura.
Groups that go in there tend to have a member disappear and when they reappear they all
tell the same story.
They were following another member away from the group to a desolate part of the hospital
when a figure would tell them they should never return.
Upon exiting the hospital that member would disappear completely.
At number 8 we have Beechworth Asylum.
Located in Victoria, Beechworth was surrounded by 106 hectares of farmland making it self
sufficient for one but also extremely isolated 2.
And it was very very easy to get put into Beechworth, all it took was a signature from
a doctor saying you were unstable and in you went my friend.
If you went in there, chances are you stayed in there till you died.
Only a third of the patients actually got out.
Physicians who worked at the hospital always spoke about brutal treatments, very troubled
patients and no hope of escape for anyone.
It opened in 1867 and during its 128 years of being open, around 9000 patients died on
the property.
Treatments involved isolation cages, straight jackets, restraint chairs, lobotomies and
electroshock treatments.
People who go there have seen the ghost of a young girl who tries to communicate with
you in any and all means possible, theyve seen the ghost of nurse Matron Sharpe in the
halls.
The Grevilla Wing where the electroshock therapy took place is especially creepy, visitors
report feeling icy cold in that area and that a woman was pushed out of a window in that
ward because another patient wanted her cigarettes.
People have reported seeing her body on the ground where it fell all those years ago.
Others have heard children laughing, one visitors son was found talking to himself and when
asked who he was talking to said James a little boy that lives at the asylum.
Filling our number 7 slot is The Athens Lunatic Asylum.
Contrary to popular belief this one is located in Ohio not Athens Greece.
It opened its doos in 1874 and housed violent criminals, children, war vets etc, and performed
lobotomies on the daily pretty much.
It was known for lobotomies and that is not a good look.
A lot of employees were trained to do these kind of procedures but a lot werent.
The asylums first ever patient was a 12 year old girl with epilepsy who was thought to
be possessed by a demon.
Im so glad our mental health knowledge has developed this much so that doesnt happen
anymore.
The asylum itself was beautiful yknow it had gardens, livestock, a dairy, it was like a
retirement home, not a hospital.
All patient and staff information was kept strictly under wraps and it stayed mysterious
like you cant access any information about who was there unless you file paperwork with
the state of Ohio.
1930 people were buried on the property but if you thought you could find out their identities
that way, youre wrong.
Each headstone is simply marked with a number and nothing else.
Rumours of staff killing patients were rife because of that and these rumours werent helped
by the fact that in 1978 a female patient disappeared only to be found dead in an abandoned
ward ages later.
Even till this day you can see the stain on the ground where her corpse was.
Now at number 6 is Taunton State Hospital.
This type of hospital was kind of like a self contained city and honestly the architecture
was gorgeous.
It looks like the estate of a very wealthy british man that wears a monocle.
It was meant to give patients a chance at occupational therapies, let them have fresh
air instead of isolating them in dark small rooms.
Built in 1854 the psychiatric hospital has a very colourful history, they used to do
frontal lobotomies often, in the 1870s they used to put patients in water tanks and then
put them in extreme cold to try and shock them out of their ailment, later on electric
shock therapy was used on thousands of patients.
Jane Toppan a sociopathic serial killer was one of its most infamous patients.
And if you dont know who jane is, she confessed to killing at least 31 patients while working
as a nurse.
Its said staff at the hospital used to conduct satanic rituals in the basement, they used
to take patients down there and they were never seen again.
Most of the buildings closed down by 1978 and became a mental health facility for convicted
juveniles but 97% of staff said the conditions of the hospital put everyone at risk.
They didnt go into what they meant by conditions, did they mean the decrepitness of it did they
mean the hauntings?
Staff later came out saying they always felt uneasy on the property especially if they
went near the basement, one was driving back there at night and saw screaming patients
in the windows that werent there.
Coming in at number 5 is Nocton Hall.
located in England, during world war I it was used as a hme for wounded American officers
but by world war 2 it was a military hospital.
By 1957 it was open to the general public and closed down 48 years later.
However things were bad not when it was a hospital, but when it was a home.
Its said the ghost of a young girl roams the hall and enjoys being in one bedroom in particular.
Staff staying that room used to get woken up at 430am every night by a young girl crying
by their bed.
She would say things like a devilish man had done this to her and other things like that.
The story claims the ghost is a servant girl who became pregnant after being with the owners
son, he then later murdered her.
The apparition of a grey lady has also been seen around the hall but god knows who the
hell she is.
At number 4 is The Ararat Lunatic Asylum.
Said to be Australia's most haunted building, this mental institution is the largest abandoned
asylum on the continent.
It opened its doors in 1867 and 100 people died yearly whether they were staff, patients
or prisoners.
Now youre probably like what dyu mean prisoners?
Ararat used to house the most criminally insane evil people in the country and a place for
people suffering from mental illness.
It houses around 1000 patients and 500 staff and in the 130 years that it was open there
was around 13,000 deaths.
These days the asylum is used for ghost tours and boy oh boy is this place haunted.
Visitors have been known to faint unexpectedly, have waves of nausea and pain hit them out
of nowhere and methodical banging sounds can be heard.
Most likely the sounds of patients hitting their heads against walls.
But the J Ward is where it gets bad.
The J Ward housed the asylums most infamous patients like Bill Wallace.
Bill shot his friend over a cigarette and then was declared insane.
He died there after being held there for 67 years.
Another was Gary Webb who mutilated himself 70 times and would say nothing but shout get
out.
When guests go into J Ward they feel like theyre being shoved and bitten.
The sound of ticking clocks, the desperate shrieking, the shouts of someone getting get
out, its literally an invite into hell.
Get out?
Boy you do not need to tell me twice.
You dont even have to tell me once.
Filling our number 3 slot is Pennhurst State School and Hospital.
Previously known as the Eastern Pennsylvania State Institution for the Feeble-Minded and
Epileptic.
What a mouthful.
The hospital opened its doors in 1908 and housed around 10,000 people and went through
79 years of controversy before officially shutting down.
The campus was literally huge it couldve been a mini town on its own, it even had its own
railroad.
Patients sent there were seen as too unfit for citizenship and the Commission did not
want them to intermix their genes with the general population.
The hospitals chief physician believed every person in there couldve been a potential criminal.
The hospitals reputation declined rapidly when many residents came out saying they had
been neglected and abused.
9 employees were charged for slapping and beating patients, many wheelchair bound and
forcing patients to assault each other.
Patients would have unexplained bruises on them rom the staff it was horrible.
Nowadays many of the buildings have been torn down but paranormal activity is still rife.
Voices, footsteps, screams, abrupt temperature changes, wheelchairs moving on their own,
items thrown out of nowhere.
Its like the building and the spirits are working together to show you how bad they
used to have it.
Audio recordings have picked up on voices saying go away and ill kill you and why wont
you leave.
Now at number 2 is Kuhn Memorial Hospital.
This has to be one of Mississippi's most haunted buildings for sure.
The hospital was open for well over a century before being closed down in 1989.
When it initially opened it was for the smallpox outbreak but later tended to Civil War soldiers
and then later the yellow fever outbreak.
Wow we have a lot of outbreaks dont we. the hospital itself is a maze of rooms and walls,
some are knocked down, most are spray painted its just a lot.
And despite being abandoned pretty much right after it closed down, many paranormal teams
have been inside and have seen shadow figures climbing up the walls.
Yes up the walls not just floating around in the hallways.
UP THE WALLS.
Their cameras captured disembodied voices saying omg and the voice of a little girl
saying want to come play with me?
Why do dead kids always wanna play?
Like leave me alone.
The worst discovery happened in 2015 where a group of ghost hunters ventured inside the
hospital to check it out.
They ended up finding the murdered body of a missing woman near the entrance but her
blood trails indicated she had come from inside.
Her body had been dragged from the second floor in the middle of the hospital to a grassy
area outside.
Most of her blood was found on the steps
And finally at number 1 is Gonjiam Hospital.
Located in South Korea, its said to be one of the most haunted buildings in the country,
CNN even called it the freakiest place in the world.
The hospital was randomly and abruptly closed in the 1990s and people only found out why
ages afterwards.
They werent making money, the conditions were beyond unsanitary, there was no proper sewage
disposal and worst of all the doctors themselves were mentally ill and the patients were murderous.
The story goes that patients and staff alike would randomly die wihtout cause and would
later be found at their desks or in their beds.
Its said a doctor on the staff was mentally ill and he was the one killing everyone inside.
The bad juju they left behind was so bad that visitors who go in have come out screaming
after hearing moans and seeing shadows and being scratched by nails that arent there.
