Inside the Creepy San Haven Asylum

[Music] [Applause] so i do have a fun fact about this place oh yeah did you know that it was so large it had its own zip code really true story this looks like the whole front section or is this the back now it's the back entrance that whole three floors four floors gone and here's a closer look at there's the pile of debris that's come down from all those floors above so this is all buckled and of course you've got asbestos and that paint and you can smell the mold so i don't think we'll be going oh this one's in yeah really rough shape we're brave but we're not stupid and there's a look at the collapse next to us which means that this right here is also more of a weak point oh the birds like it though now can you believe we're finally gonna check out a massive abandoned complex like this yeah which you have come in and checked out thoroughly beforehand i was going to say for all you viewers out there we have scanned the place out checked for any potential hazards there are no no trespassing signs and also we did actually ask whether or not we were allowed to come in here and uh we were told yes it's okay well it's just the amount of decay and water damage yeah well at least the one thing is that there's enough breeze coming through that you don't smell the mold or the mildew so this was a tuberculosis hospital built in 1906 i believe 1909 i do know by 1912 it had 12 patients and then the following year or by the 1920s it had 140 patients oh wow a lot of graffiti and peeling paint not a great deal of artifacts though and it looks like oh okay we may have our first tunnel yeah so there are several buildings and like all tb hospitals there was tunnels linking building to building to building right i do think most of the tunnels have been blocked up yeah it looks like this one it just it goes up that way towards the outside you can see light through here and just a gentle ramp up so the tunnels were to transport patients weren't they so people couldn't see those that passed so that the rest of patients wouldn't get upset so you seen this the brick oh wow that's got writing on it so they plastered over and that one's got like an emblem it is does have some really unique architecture like the brickwork back here now so this has got pretty now i would have thought this was wallpaper but it's kind of peeling like the paint would yeah you can see the miner so this is wallpaper i can feel it yeah this is more modern because it's got the steel stud construction with the drywall so after the effect maybe yeah because it looks like they closed these two rooms off well this has got the same so and people have been what smashing it up to see if there's any pipes underneath pipes i suppose or just being hooligans smashing things up now i do have some fun facts about this place i wouldn't necessarily say it was fun oh look at the wallpaper in here so yeah sadly i think it was in 2001 a young urban explorer came in he was 12 and plummeted to his death down an open shaft oh yeah that's the thing about these places they are extremely dangerous and dark so if you don't have proper lighting and also if you don't know what you're doing and you don't know what you're doing yeah so at one point i read that there was 900 patients oh but i read in another article that there was uh 1200 patients and only 400 staff yeah that was the thing about these places they were always overcrowded and under run okay it's this way so after this place closed as a tb hospital it just became a hospital but there was a section called sounds awful the school of the feeble minded hmm interesting i don't think they'd be allowed to get away with that these days it's a bird and this as you can see the entire outside is or the roof has collapsed and it's open to the outside elements and of course the thing about some of these places is they are amazing to explore but we won't show every single room because it does start to get monotonous after a while as they just start to look exactly the same i wonder if this was a dumb waiter or is that just a a pipe it's not big enough to be a dumb waiter is it although this hospital was for the developmentally disabled looking at the graffiti i think a lot of these people needed to be here they've come to the right place and of course it is meant to be incredibly haunted as all these places are yeah who really knows that it is just strikingly beautiful to see the decay nature taking back we were going to venture up to the third and final floor just quickly make sure we don't miss anything straight ahead that's open to the elements i've got a room of the bath as you can see in there here's some birds behind me i've got another small room that's it in here what do we have to our right now these are interesting just the small access doors in these closets here and then this is a very small coat room which opens up to the last room here on the top from the third story window looking out you can see there are some more buildings over there we're going to check out as well as one of the main ones so this place closed in 1992 because well several reasons the state couldn't cover the costs it got so large and uh the patients weren't getting the care that they deserved so yeah close down yep it's unfortunate but that seems to always be the case okay around to the front or maybe this is the back but we were just discussing also so this hospital had 400 staff for about 1200 1300 patients right so and then that staff had to be divided up into people who one maintain the patients the doctors so doctors nurses then you've got the maintenance people the grounds groundskeepers cooks cooks laundry staff so i mean the people that actually looked after the patients was divided up into that so maybe a quarter of that i wouldn't even say a quarter no wonder they closed it down yeah and those poor patients i mean what did they suffer what did they go through oh no because it's not their fault they don't and it might not have been the nurse's faults either it could just be the fact that the state didn't have the funds to do it right under funding and you know people people try to do the best that they can but sometimes it is simply too much so it looks like they've been bulldozing this down so i'm surprised any of it's still standing to be quite honest i know so that looks like a decent entryway let's take a look we're inside we're checking things out above us um there as you can see in the ceiling here there's a lot of ties that are missing because they had electrical conduit and whatnot but there are quite a few holes as well so i mean you know we love doing this kind of stuff but we also love to live to explore another place yeah live to tell the tale and i don't think we're going to be venturing upstairs too much because of the shape that some of the rest of this building is in but we're going to explore down here as much as possible [Music] would have been pretty neat to have seen this place just after it closed down in the 90s before it got wrecked and before yeah it became this unstable i mean it's just it's really bad the water damage all the trusses are rotting and rusting and coming down it's uh i'm surprised it's actually still standing at all which is just a shame because i mean these places like we say we love to explore this kind of thing we don't get the chance very often but we're when they're in this battle shape because i mean both entrances are blocked off from collapse i mean this is basically all we can really explore there's some steps going up to the outside i think that's where we came in oh that's where we came in a bit of a blonde moment then so that room there i that was a fire that looks is that a fireplace what's that kind of looks like oh that'd have been because you see it's got the window for the outside so what is that that noise so this for like moisture they have to leave and also access to get out so this had like a radiator was in here you can see the piping it yeah so can you imagine that beautiful old radiator somebody's got it [Music] so unfortunately this building we saw in the distance we've walked around the outside that is incredibly structurally unsound and every kind of way in is behind this rubble pile so although it hasn't stopped some graffiti artists yeah they might have gotten in beforehand but that's going to keep us from going in we'll walk around the outside just make sure that there's no way in but i don't think this one's gonna gonna work out yeah here we are from another angle there's there's not a way in that's safe and we notice the road continues just over here and there's a rubble pile so there might be the remains of another building hidden back there too this is what remains of that other structure not a lot there's still a lot of electrical piping running through now is this part of the creme they could be it's because they're wondering well the building yeah go on sorry say it does look like back in here there was a tunnel that came over here well if you pan back the building that we can't get into that has got the uh chimney with a cross on it yeah so i wonder if that was the crematorium maybe this was the mortuary possible we'll have to look at see if we can find a map of the layout [Music]
