I'm in an abandoned hospital. Ask me anything, or even make requests for particular photos.
>>17828698
Can I come?
>>17828709
Sure. Old Reid Hosptial, Richmond IN, 47374
Aerial view of the hospital.
>>17828735
Aren't you the guy that posted in the urbex thread a while back? I was wondering when you'd post this place.
>>17828777
Yeah, probably. Place usually doesn't get much attention, but I keep trying occasionally.
>>17828698
do you use any face masks in case there is black mold or anything?
Can you get basement access?
>>17828768
>not Making America Great Again
How long have you been there? some of your pics are from the daytime. Also requesting long hallway shots
Thanks for this thread OP. Find the morgue!
>>17828698
Woah really nice! So jelly that i don't have so big abandoned facilities where i live. Have been to and abandoned spa tho :)
Neat. You listen to much music while exploring OP? Got any weird stories or had any odd encounters on your travels?
>>17828698
Can I have a picture of your left shoe in a really fucked up room?
I think this part looks interesting. Can you get there somehow?
>>17828850
wtf
Whats the scariest/creepiest thing you encountered during your explorations, op?
So, OP here. I started this thread last night. Going to head back now so I can continue it properly.
As for the questions:
Yes, I can get some limited access to the basement, but other sections are flooded, including where I suspect the morgue was.
I don't usually wear a mask, not because there's a lack of black mold, but because life is a nightmare and death is inevitable.
Some of my pictures are older, but I go there much too frequently.
>>17829477
No, not really. I like to have all my senses when wandering around abandoned buildings by myself.
Probably my favorite pic here. Someone painted this in the attic of the oldest section of the hosptial, which is over 100 years old. (Been remolded several times over the years, however.)
Cool thread. Ever have anything creepy happen or run into another group of people/hobos?
Can you paint some cryptic designs on a wall? Like, make up some alphabet and throw on generic, spooky Satanic shit to freak people out?
>>17831311
I'm usually the creepiest thing there, as I scarcely use a light, and always see people before they see me, but if I encounter a group, i usually give them a tour. Never met a hobo.
>>17831330
I'll bring some paint next time and do that. There's a room with some chalk, though, so I'll use that in a bit to do something.
Almost back in the building now.
This looks like a great place for this sort of thing. Really interesting.
Please post some highlights
Now to fulfill a request or two...
>>17829501
Taken in the theatre
Not a request, but thought this looked cool. Under a broken skylight.
>>17831402
What state are you in exactly?
>>17831414
Richmond, Indiana.
This is where the chalk's at, for the one dude who wanted me to fake arcane shit
anything paranormal or generally creepy happened to you while exploring? if so, storytime?
>>17831416
Got a kek from the nigger.
My sooper spoky drawing.
>>17831422
Then you'll love this.
>>17831418
Not gonna lie, I really wanted to make some shit up, but no. I tell people I give tours to that I am the only ghost here.
>>17828716
Abandoned in 2008 and still not redeveloped? Ye gods.
My favorite spot to hang out, here. It's the top open window in the tower of the other photos.
>>17831445
Well, the story I've gathered from various news articles and blogs is that the owner started the process of renovations, then ran out of money. He decided to simply skip town, and stop paying property taxes. Which resulted in over $700,000 being owed on the place before it could be touched.
Couple that with the fact that it's in a small, poor, town, and basically, no one wanted it. Now it's in such poor condition it's almost certain to be condemned when someone buys it.
>>17831439
Dat cockfish
Sort of off topic, does anyone know any good urbex spots in Spokane, WA?
>>17831454
Yeah, those were set everywhere by a pair of brothers who called themselves the "ghost nomads" they also wrote all the racist shit, and a couple swastikas. Real /pol/ types. Met them, or guys who claimed to be them here, once. They were well into their 40s.
Open elevator access. Door to it is labeled "Hell" with a down arrow.
>>17831463
Fuck those guys. Defacing something as cool as that on the regular AND being racist fuckstains on top of it? smfh
>>17831463
Hot damn, I'd love to check that place out. Or any place of any interest, really. Only two abandoned houses I've ever been in had anything cool. One, I found bushy, 70's porn and the other had a shit in the toilet that ended belonging to a junkie that stabbed my neighbour.
>>17831471
Seriously. I also suspect they may have started a fire or two here. But no proof.
Any more photo requests of certain things or areas?
>>17831483
Do you have anymore pictures under that broken skylight? Shit's cool af
>>17831476
Shit Shank Redemption.
Live anywhere near here?
>>17831487
I'll go take some more now.
This is the above view.
On my way, but another cool room here.
>>17831490
Unfortunately not. I'm in East Coast Canada, though I'll be in Quebec followed by Toronto soon. Still not close enough to Ohio, though.
The skylight is just beyond and to the right of where it goes dark.
>>17831511
>>17831490
Or Indiana, my bad.
>>17831520
Damn, that sucks, man.
Check out the DB map on UER.CA to see about sites near you. Be sure to also check around locally, because this place isn't on that map.
I set up a chair to be all artsy and shit.
Stage view of the theatre.
Audience view.
It's more of a lecture hall, really.
Shit was fire, senpai.
Someone's firing a gun nearby. Or possibly fireworks. But pretty sure that's gunfire. Six-seven shots.
Should have had a tripcode from the start, OP
>>17831534
Cool site. Too bad there's nothing in my area, or where I'll be staying in Quebec. Small towns, and all.
>>17831592
Don't know shit about that.
stay safe, OP. Let's see more photos! Try to get to the OR.
>>17831603
You put your name in the name field, then follow it up with one or two numerical hashes followed by a phrase you would like to use as a password
Right now, to demonstrate, I am using Ghost of Old Reid##I am a faggot
Now you try, with your own phrase
(It's preferred that you only use a trip for threads you make where you're dumping content or OC)
Let's try it.
>>17831627
Verification.
>>17831616
Now, off to the OR. There's several, actually, all in the same wing. I might lose signal, so be patient.
I have this fantasy of doin' the do in a place like that. Unfortunately, due to sanitary issues, that fantasy will never likely play out.
are you scared?
>>17831516
Best one. Tyb anon
On google maps, the parking lots are still filled. Do the university guys use them or does google maps use pictures older than 2008?
Also, how often do you meet/see people there?
Nice pictures btw. Keep em coming, we need more OC on /x/
>>17828698
Find some abandoned hospital beds?
Hey, back now. I got banned, or something. Something about CP appeal being denied. Idk.
>>17835297
Wb.
>>17833736
I meet people here fairly often. I'd even say there's a 50/50 chance on any given night. I also occasionally go with a group, but I'm alone now, just as I was the last two nights.
As for the cars, it must be old photos, because the nearest university is over a mile away, and cops chase away anyone in the lot.
Door to the elevator shaft posted above.
Starting the dump from the OR.
In retrospect, I should have taken more.
Anyway, this is from a lab area just outside of it.
From the same area.
From the hallway connecting the ORs.
Doors to one.
neat shit anon, there's an abandoned hospital near to where I live but it's typically too crowded (1-2 groups of people there at any one time) it was abandoned due to asbestos. govt is also trying to restore some of it, so while it is still interesting to find entrances in to the buildings and walk around, the experience is lacking when groups of teens or workers are walking around, even at night. post reception area if possible
Hearing voices/footsteps. Be back.

OP is kill by fellow anon
>>17831623
It's not even necessary to use a trip in those situations.
Also, what's with all the namefagging lately? Is this batch of summerfags just that retarded?

what are you guys up to now?
is there asbestos or is he just wearing a beard protector?
Asbestos for days. We were on the roof. I am the dude with the beard. I just don't care.
I'm showing them around now. Tour guide mode.
I wish I had places like that to explore
>>17828790
Who did that portrait of Trudeau on the right, was it there before you arrived?
Cool shit, anon. Do you ever have any dreams of going to Pripyat or other famous abandoned towns? I've always wanted to go but with the war I don't think it would be smart.
>>17835637
Heh.
Political jokes.
>>17835674
I really do. That would be fucking sweet.
We're on the roof now. Just chilling.

Spokomptpn fag, not entirely urban exploring but right off of Kendall Yards down the way from the sentenial trail, there is an old Pet Cemetery, as well as an altar that appears to have been used for some sort of creepy worship. Also there is a "devils den" that's location escapes me, even the hobos tweakers avoid that place. If I remember correctly it's a series of old rail road tunnels, but it's all essentially in a big triangle in that area.
What are the basic stuff you need to do this?
>>17831548
Cool shit dude
Germanfag here. Really like your pictures and damn... the whole place looks amazing! Also thanks for sharing it with us. I also do a lot of urban exloring here in Berlin. As you can imagine, because of the war and the soviet presence we had here, there are plenty of these abandoned places. Will share 2 or3 pics in a moment. Just need to do that on my pc.
>>17828698
nudes
>>17836112
Hey man I came back to this board just for u, sad to see you didn't get more footage.
Really interested in urban exploring but in my country it seems like they demolish abandoned buildings pretty quick.
>>17831669
I did it in an abandoned factory
Alright, boys and girls. We're off again. On my way to old reid.
>>17840369
That's really cool. You should definitely post them.
>>17841305
No.
>>17841692
Thanks, man! It really makes me happy to hear that people are enjoying this thread.
I've done urbex for about three years now. I'd say you don't need much, aside from clothes you don't mind getting messy, especially pants and longsleeved garments, a backpack, with wd-40, duct tape, and some minor tools, and maybe a knife. Obviously a flashlight. I prefer dim lights, mostly because while you need light to see, light is also what gets you seen.
Now, i'm pretty comfortable at old reid, so I usually just bring a weapon, some cheap cigars, and my phone. Started wearing a blazer lately to fuck with peopld.
Can you explain the geography of the area (the hospital and other buildings around it)?
>>17842158
Shit, wrong picture.
>>17842161
Kek
>>17828698
How can I get into urban exploring? Best way to avoid junkies and feral animals?
>>17842160
Feel free to look at sattelite images of the place, the address is 1401 Chester Blvd, Richmond, IN 47374.
But the area is a small, rather poor city, it sits on a major road, maybe a mile from the meagre downtown area, which mostly consists of business built in the renovated husks of old warehouses, once used as depots and warehouses to hold goods produced by the local factories to be loaded onto trains.
The road it sits on has constant traffic, at all hours. Directly adjacent are some smaller clinics with various medical specialties. You'll notice nearby, should you look this place up on a map, is a retirement home. The strip of forest between there and the building has a surprisingly well-hidden path, that I use to enter frequently. From there, the ground slopes down rapidly, so much so that the retirement home is nearly level with the tower.
>>17842174
That's good nuff, you have access to the basement?
>>17842166
I linked a website above, called UER.CA It has a few resources to get you into Urbex. If you go there, and click "DB Map" you can use it to find nearby locations. Other than that, just go for the occasional drive about, see what's around.
As for animals and junkies, fear and reapect. They are often as scared, or more, of you, than you are of them. If you are the terror, what power do they have over you? I used to wear a mask, a creepy one, to remind myself of that.
The other half is respect, both for the other person/ animal, and for your enviroment. People need light to see, therefore use as little light as possible so you can avoid being seen, and so you can see yourself.
Animals, well, unless you live in an area with large, dangerous carnivores, simply give them a large berth, if you spot something. Be aware of the tracks on the ground, and of noises you hear. Chances are, it's not a demon or a goblin, but a racoon or dog.
>>17842181
In certain spots. It's flooded in a lot of areas. Was planning to post some of that tonight, actually.
>>17842200
Interesting, how deep does it get?
Also, check'd
>>17842203
I'll show you. Give me a second.
Also, this pic is of a cop that drives around occasionally and shines a spotlight at the building. Doubt he ever sees anyone. I know he's never seen me.
you gotta get to the morgue, anon, you just gotta
when you say flooded, how bad? could you get some nice big boots to wade through?
>>17835695
>Urbexing with weapons, ninja shemaghs and forearm wraps
You are the people that make what I do so goddamn hard anymore.
>>17828716
Cool. I've been to the new one during an internship, so have driven past the old one.
>>17842203
>>17842234
I'd need fucking scuba gear.
>>17842245
Those were other dudes who were there for the first time.
And by weapon, I mean a knife that I occasionally use to pry open doors that are stuck.
Got any pics of where you've explored?
>>17842251
damn
figures the creepiest place in the hospital is inaccessible like that
start a kickstarter for scuba gear, i'll donate $5
good luck, anon! i'm enjoying your content. wish there were places like this around here for me to explore. big ups for the website you mentioned above, hopefully i can find some places to explore someday soon. i'm a sucker for this kind of shit
>>17842251
Fuck, have you seen any bodily fluids yet?
>>17842246
Still in the area? I'd be happy to meet up somewhere, and then show you the place.
>>17842195
Thanks dude this is super helpful!
>>17842262
I'm in southern chicago, if I can clear time on my calendar I might join you.

>>17842274
Sure.
>>17842271
>Jacks off in abandoned hospital
Well you can check that off the bucket list!
>>17828698
Ever have any moments that made you consider leaving while you were exploring?
>>17842256
Heh, I'm poor as fuck, and live in the midwest. There's a lot of things I'd do a kickstarter for before SCUBA gear.
Besides. I don't like begging.
>>17842254
If I get around to it later I'll post some things. Most of my pics are way too big to post as I use semi-pro gear and it's a pain in the ass for me to resize a ton of it.
I've urbexed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, UP, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, and Tennessee. Gonna head to Massachusetts and New York next year hopefully. From Oregon, but I get out that way 3 or 4 times a year. No urbex on the west coast to speak of. Too much money so things get torn down almost immediately.
Regardless, tell your friends to stop wearing cat burglar shit. It makes it hard for the rest of us.
For people asking how to into urbex, the very best advice I can give is to make sure you dress like a complete and total dork (unless you're purposely trying to break into a place that is guarded/monitored). I've been busted maybe a dozen times and never once got fucked with because I look like a gearfag from /p/ wearing brightly colored outdoors gear and a goofy headlamp. Most people can tell what your intentions are just by looking at you and talking to you for a second.
Try diving in the flooded portions. My biggest fear is being in deep water with no light.
>>17842296
Ever found a body?
>>17842291
>Besides. I don't like begging.
i'm the one begging. i'd love to see that morgue.
>live in the midwest.
me too! isn't it boring? come up in august for fargo noise fest! (jk. or not)
be safe out there, anon!
Enjoying this thread op! Post some more pics and be careful. Try posting more of theatre and other intredting rooms please.
>>17842296
Where in ky? WH? That shit's gay/fake and there's nothing else to urbex here. Lex fag here.
>>17842300
No bodies but I was in a building in Detroit where they had found a homeless guy frozen in the elevator shaft a couple weeks before. That was the story anyway. There's a hospital in Detroit that if it didn't contain a body or two I'd be surprised, but large sections are blocked off by debris and I generally don't go places that I don't think are fairly safe or put myself in situations where I don't have a clear out.
There are sections of the old hormel plant in St. Louis that I also had a feeling some dead homies might be hanging around.
>>17828698
Do you bring NVGs / Weapon when you go?
>>17842290
Four times. I'll list them chronologically.
1st. Sitting on the roof, watching netflix. Know for a fact I am alone, at least on the roof. Sitting next to a ladder. Pebble pings off an arm of the ladder right next to my head. Hard. No one nearby. Didn't end up leaving till much later because human error. Maybe I knocked a pebble off or something and it hit the ladder further down, making the ladder reverberate, and produce a disproportionate sound.
Second time, I was with a friend, when a van pulled up to the building. It stopped at a couple points, in an arc, and so we moved to intersect. We started walking up, and we could see one light bobbing around an entrance to the hosptial, van still running. Objects were being thrown around almost frantically, and my friend called out a greeting. Whoever it was was working so quickly and hard that they didn't hear him. That got my hackles up, so I stopped my friend, and we slunk back into the building, to the second floor, to watch whoever it was leave. Didn't leave that time either, as the possible threat was gone.
Third time, was about a week ago. I was sitting in the tower, which overlooks the courtyard, when I hear the distinct sound of urination. I freeze, and keep listening. It ends, and I hear loud, clumsy footsteps, like those of a human, crunching glass and bits of debris, heading into the building under me. I decide to invesitgate, because whoever it was wasn't using a light. This is something I often do, so it made me curious. After the steps fade into the building, I go to a flight of stairs which is on an outside wall, on the opposite side of the building. I was going with out a light, and moving as quietly as possible, while stopping frequently to listen. Which means I was going slow. I hear noises on the other side, outside, about where someone would exit if they were to travel straight through where I heard them enter. Again, no light, loud, clumsy steps.
cont..
>>17842312
Don't know what WH is. Hayswood hospital and an old tb ward outside louisville (that's what I think it was anyway) and other random smaller shit.
>>17842324
Cont. then on to pics of the theatre.
As I reached the last few steps leading into the ground floor, I hear steps entering the building in a room nearby. I pause outside the door, and wait for someone to open it, but the footsteps stop. I'd assumed I'd made a noise, so I simply waited for them to restart. It didn't happen, so I poked my head in. (Cautiously) The room, thanks to moon light, was well lit. Broken glass and random junk was all over the floor, but besides that, it was empty. No other doors led deeper into the building. The way outside were only the tall broken windows, with glass all around. I decided it was a good night to go to bed early.
Now, I'm off to the theatre.
Door leading into the theatre. Obvious fire damage. According to old papers, it was likely a hobo fire gone out of control, due to the discovery of bedrolls and cans of food.
>>17842316
No.
This pic is just inside.
Control booth.
View from inside the control booth.
Kinda cool graffiti. Someone had originally just sort of wiped away the soot on the wall to make it. More recently, it seems someone chose to trace it in paint.
>>17842422
Door leading out.
Lobby/hallway outside of the theatre.
My phone is about to die, regrettably.
Where do you go poop while spending the night in an abandoned hospital, OP?
>>17842436
I've never slept here.
>>17842440
You can stay awake all night, but more importantly, where do you poop?
good stuff, OP
are there any other areas, that are inaccessible?
>>17842158
That's actually pretty awesome, even if it has nothing to do with the thread.

Where would one park to check this place out? Is there cop/security coverage?
>>17843167
Alot of this depends on the site you want to explore.
Reid hospital is owned by the city, meaning the land is technically public, to my understanding. It is not marked off with any "No tresspassing" signs, etc.
The police, like the one I posted earlier, will warn off anyone they spot, and demand that they leave. However, should you refuse, they cannot enter the hospital.
But that's only true for this place in particular. Just do your research, you know?
>>17843247
No, nay, never.
Nothing seen or heard that couldn't be explained away.

I'd reccomend Sylvan Nook church, a short walk away from the place. I'll post a pic later of the hidden path. Or, you can get in touch with me in the email I provided earlier ( [email protected] ) and I can give you some other ideas, and possibly arrange to give you a sort of "tour"
