Abandoned Aquarium A French urban explorer decided to go into
an abandoned Spanish aquarium and film her experience.
Inside, she saw the abandoned remains of what had once been a bustling theme park, you know
kind of like Sea World but super creepy!.
She came across a rotting shark carcass, a dead squid, skeletal starfish, and all kinds
of other marine nightmares.
The explorer's name is Juliet, originally from the French city of Lyon.
But unfortunately, we have no clue what the name of the aquarium is.
Even though this video has gone super viral, with millions and millions of views, nobody
seems to know exactly which rundown park she broke into and recorded.
She probably did that on purpose to not get in trouble.
But what we do know is that this wasn't just some aquatic graveyard.
Most of the dead creatures she saw had probably already been dead when the aquarium closed.
No one wants to believe that the employees left the animals to fend for themselves until
they ran out of water and shriveled up into mummies.
No, it’s actually very likely these animals were already preserved.
Take the creepy shark, for example.
It may look like a zombie now, but it was probably originally treated with chemicals
and kept in a specialized airtight case.
Then the aquarium closed, and the glass on its tank was shattered, perhaps by previous
explorers.
Now the creature is slowly decaying into a terrifying-looking shark mummy.

The Lost Police Station Urban explorers in Scotland recently gave
the world a rare glimpse into an abandoned Glasgow police station.
Located on Argyle Street, it originally opened back in 1960.
The Cranstonhill Police Station has been empty for about the last ten years.
Real estate developers Westpoint Homes is currently trying to demolish the site and
build 84 apartments, but it hasn't happened yet.
And so, this could be the last look anyone has at the police station before it’s completely
destroyed.
It is a rather creepy place.
The urban explorers documented their journey through depressing cells where criminals had
once been locked up.
Rusting pipes, metal gates, busted light fixtures, and the unmistakable spooky vibe of treading
through a potentially haunted cellblock.
The front desk of the police station has a sign that reads, "Even the cops can't keep
us out”.
Everything in general looks pretty depressing.
Would you be brave enough to explore this place?

Nuclear Bunker An urban explorer who goes only by the name
of Jim came across an exceptionally well-preserved doomsday bunker.
He snuck inside of an abandoned mansion in Adelaide, Australia.
The mansion itself was creepy enough, but it also had a mysterious dungeon below.
According to what Jim told Newsweek, the building has been abandoned for a very long time.
It was originally built in the 1800s and has had lots of owners throughout the years.
Locals believe the place is cursed because they say that everyone who owns it suffers
misfortune and dies.
The manor really is a mansion, with seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, all laid out across
one sprawling floor.
Jim went inside the place intending to photograph its interior and found himself enthralled
by this lost piece of history.
He went from room to room, taking photographs.
And that was when he discovered a hatch in one of the bedrooms.
He gathered up his courage, cracked that hatch open, and descended into pure darkness.
Much to his surprise, Jim was inside a fully equipped subterranean level, like something
out of a video game.
The dungeon, or bunker, if you would prefer, was clearly designed for a family to live
inside of for months.
It was just as big below the house as it was above, with at least eight rooms inside the
nuclear bomb shelter.
The fallout shelter was installed much later by one of the more recent residents.
And considering they had had enough money to purchase a mansion and build an underground
level beneath it, they probably didn’t mind leaving it behind when they moved to a new
place.
It's good news for everyone in the area since now they know if it ever becomes necessary,
they’ll have a free fallout shelter within running distance of their homes!
And now for number 7, but first it’s shout out time!

Pet Cemetery Urban explorer Daniel Sims came across an
old, damaged, and seriously derelict mansion hidden away in a small English village.
It was a pretty straightforward abandoned property, covered in graffiti, filled with
bottles and cans from partying teenagers, and evidence of a fire inside the house.
But, what made it unique and even creepier than normal is that Daniel came across a mysterious
pet cemetery!
He originally found the house while looking at online maps.
It was tucked away in such a random corner of the village that it would have been impossible
to find by just wandering around.
But what Daniel hadn't expected was that the house was actually an old and abandoned assisted
living home.
There were metal bars on the second-floor windows to stop people from jumping out or
possibly escaping.
The walls were painted a disturbing shade of yellow.
And so far as Daniel could tell, the place had only been abandoned for about a decade.
The creepiest part was when he discovered the remains of a graveyard in the back of
the house.
He thought he was standing on the bones of people who had been buried by the staff at
the home!
It was only when he scrutinized the names on the tombstones that he realized they were
animals.
He does not know why, but the abandoned mansion had its very own graveyard of dead pets.

The Shopping Complex On Queen Street at Campbelltown, a popular
shopping area in the Australian city of Sydney, there is an abandoned mall.
It's a shopping center that's been left for dead, unused for over a decade, and is currently
in a serious state of disrepair.
The shopping complex was once called Brands on Sale, but now it’s more of a hub for
curious urban explorers.
After 10 years of being raided by party-going teenagers, and visited by urban explorers
and YouTubers, it just gets more and more destroyed.
The escalators have been ripped apart.
There are holes in the walls where people have thrown things through them, shattered
glass all over the place, and absolutely no security to keep anyone out.
The shopping complex is four stories of nothing but garbage.
The structural integrity of the building seems totally fine, which makes it even stranger
that nobody has turned the property into something productive.
The center originally cost $65,000,000 to open in December 2009, only to go out of business
about a year later.

Abandoned Disney In 2020, during the great panini, a man broke
into an abandoned Disney World attraction and then posted videos of his highly illegal
exploration on YouTube.
His name is Richard McGuire, 42 years old at the time.
Richard traveled from Mobile, Alabama, to the Orlando theme park and found his way to
Discovery Island.
Discovery Island was once a very popular attraction for the public.
Covering about 11 acres, it was home to all kinds of exotic animals and it looked like
a real tropical paradise.
However, the island was plagued by scandals.
There were rumors there was brain-eating bacteria in the water, in 1989 workers came under fire
for abusing some birds, and people just slowly stopped going.
In 1999, the island was closed.
Disney hasn’t done anything with it and never released an official statement but it’s
most likely that it was just replaced by the much larger and more popular Animal Kingdom.
Now it’s sitting abandoned in a lake, overgrown and covered in rusty metal cages.
Urban explorers like Richard have reported seeing alligators prowling around, and lights
turning on and off even though nobody is there.
Richard thought it would be fun to take a camping trip here.
But it didn't turn out to be much fun after all.
He was caught breaking and entering on surveillance footage, and the police swarmed the island
as if they were trying to catch El Chapo.
Richard was arrested on April 30, 2020.
Authorities had to take a boat to go get him and take him to the main part of the park,
then hauled him away to prison.
He was quickly released on bail, and although he was looking at 12 months in jail, he just
ended up paying a $100.00 fine and charges were dropped.
Others have managed to get away with camping there and have posted it on YouTube even though
Disney has a clear ban on the area for people’s safety.

Finding a Mummy A Spanish urban explorer crept into an abandoned
building in the city of Alicante and came across the last thing he had expected to find.
It was about 10:30 p.m.
He had just arrived inside the abandoned building, and before he could really poke around the
place, he found a mummified corpse!
This wasn't a fake mummy, but a very real preserved human body.
The explorer was so startled that he immediately called the Spanish National Police.
When they got there, he showed them the exact location of the body.
By the corpse was a backpack, which held the man's ID.
He was identified as Julian Ortega, 56 years old when he disappeared in July 2019.
That was three years before the explorer found him in May 2022.
Clearly, this building hadn't attracted any other explorers.
For three years, Julian’s body had slowly decayed in that empty place, with nobody ever
finding it.
As of right now, we don't know if he was murdered, if he had been an urban explorer himself who
maybe suffered a heart attack, or what.
It’s all still under police investigation and we just don't have any answers.

Abandoned Hospital In 1997, the East Fortune Hospital closed
its doors and never opened them again.
This very old and now condemned psychiatric hospital can be found near the Scottish city
of Edinburgh.
And even though the entrance to the abandoned building is boarded up and entry is completely
forbidden, that hasn't stopped urban explorers from poking around.
Just recently, footage showed up online of an urban explorer known only as Tina taking
a gander inside.
She documented her trip through the haunting ruins of what had once been a treatment center
for those suffering from tuberculosis.
The building has been around for 100 years.
The last quarter of its life may have been spent empty, but the first 75 years were filled
with pain and misery.
It was originally used to treat tuberculosis, only to change in the 1950s and become a psychiatric
hospital.
It went from the diseased and the dead to those suffering from horrible mental afflictions.
What's really interesting is that a lot of the original equipment and furnishings are
still in there.
Old musical instruments, wrecked hospital equipment, chairs and tables, and asbestos
everywhere!
And although nothing happened to our urban explorer as she documented the hospital’s
most recent state of disrepair, it’s essentially waiting to collapse.

The Forgotten Farm A man named Kyle, a 25-year-old who sees himself
as an urban explorer, has been busy ever since the pandemic.
According to Kyle, he's explored over 400 abandoned properties since he picked the hobby
up in 2020.
One of his more recent expeditions took him to a small farmhouse in Little Hereford, England.
Amazingly, Kyle only heard about the abandoned farmhouse because he saw it on a random Facebook
page talking about abandoned places.
In April 2022, he made the journey there and broke into the home.
What he discovered was a building in a slow state of decay, but surprisingly still filled
with the former owners’ possessions.
Inside the building, Kyle came across an old sewing machine, candlesticks on the fireplace,
sheet music still waiting to be played on the piano, and haunting pictures of the old
residents.
At first, he couldn't tell exactly how old the farm was.
It seemed to be from a bygone age, and yet when he came into the kitchen, he found a
calendar on the wall from 1998.
Judging by the furniture in the place, it was probably lived in by the same family since
the 1960s.
Then in January 1998, they just vanished.
They didn't pack up, but they definitely left.
We don’t know if they got spooked by something in the house, if they had fallen on hard times,
or if they all perished in some freak accident.

Sunken Ghost City In Mexico, back in 2020, the Vicente Guerrero
Dam reached its lowest level in 12 years.
It was at only 48% capacity, its lowest since 2008 when Mexico was afflicted by some serious
drought.
And while drought is never good for anybody, there was one good thing that came out of
the low water level.
It revealed the creepy abandoned village of Old Padilla.
The dam is a massive reservoir, the sixth-largest in Mexico.
The dam is mostly used to contain floods, and it began its life in September 1971.
But in order to get the dam up and running, Old Padilla, or Villa de Padilla, had to be
flooded.
And so, the village was emptied, and the people were forced out.
This was pretty tragic for the townspeople, considering just how long Old Padilla had
been in that same spot.
The very first foundations were laid in 1749.
And in 1824, Emperor Agustin de Iturbide was shot there!
It became the first capital of the state of Tamaulipas in July 1825.
And then in 1970, the place was evacuated.
With the dam so low on water, everyone could see the ruins of this lost city.
Although there really isn't much left to look at.
Some old stone steps, the remains of what was once a beautiful park where people walked
and children played, and the crumbling ruins of homes whose residents, after multiple generations,
were forced to find somewhere else to live.
Which of these abandoned sites would you be brave enough to explore?
