In 1904 the province of British Columbia purchased 405 hectares for the construction of the hospital and farm in a rural setting. Opening in 1913, Riverview became home to some of the provinces most disturbed patients.
You may recognize this property as it has become a popular filming location. The Matrix franchise, Deadpool, X-Files, Smallville, Riverdale, Butterfly Effect, Final Destination are just a few that have chosen this eerie site for their productions.
Over the years, Riverview grew drastically with more than 80 buildings, nearly five thousand patients and just about as many staff.
Although Riverview was recognized as a model in psychiatric care, it eventually gained a bad reputation after units were overcrowded and use of questionable treatment was prevalent.
While it is recognized as a Heritage site today, Riverview has a long dark history and is believed to be haunted, listed as one of Vancouvers most haunted locations.

Hi Adam & Chyanne, I think the "cages" were so patient's didn't jump. Did you notice the soft female voice singing at 19:14 ??? It is so heart breaking what those patients and many more like them had to go through daily, the abuse is at more or less every asylum I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

Hello Sue:) Thanks for watching this one. We know it’s not what our subscribers are here for, but it’s an experience we really wanted to share. So, I went back and listened to what you mentioned with headphones and I do hear what you’re talking about. At first I thought maybe it was a truck passing, but that wouldn’t have the change in tones and pauses. Very interesting and good catch Sue!!!! We always knew they weren’t a welcoming place, but walking around there was something else. Seeing the locked units, so many beds with rails(used for restraints) the sheer number of rooms was surprising. Picturing the number of beds in their dormitories was eye opening too. How did anyone sleep well! Anyways, thank you for watching and take care ❤️❤️

@@AdventuresRUs My secret is that I tweak the audio on my W10 laptop and I have surround sound over ear gaming headphones. It is so sad how people and especially children were treated in asylums, it makes me ashamed to be a human being sometimes if that's what our species are capable of doing. Much love to you both and your family. xx ❤

Hi! An interesting video. There were definitely some piles of leftover filming gack, as well as the remains of sets. I was a film liaison in BC and I have spent many, many hours in the buildings of Riverview. Many times overnight. I was also the only person in them ( we had to lock up the buildings after the crews had gone). I get the urge to explore but be cautious because, amongst things just falling down, there is a fair amount of asbestos in buildings of that age, It is often chipped and worn which means any dust you breathe in could have asbestos in it. The other thing to remember there is that many areas have been decorated and redecorated many times by film crews, so the broken down look is just as likely to movie effects as reality. Stay safe

@AdventuresRUs Жыл бұрын

Hello! Thank you for watching, commenting and sharing what you know about the location. Yes, a few people have mentioned about there being stuff left by productions, like the one area with all the built in rooms. We knew about the asbestos and had another warning in that one section where it was all taped off with asbestos warning signs. Not good stuff, but fortunately most windows were open and we weren’t in there for very long.

At the 13 minute mark the walls are built of tv flats, using 1x4 and door skin. Leftover from a film or tv show. When we were kids telling someone they were from Riverview or Essendale was a common insult. Electroconvulsive therapy is still used today. Using the historical photos was nice.

Hello Douglas:) Thank you for watching, taking the time to comment and share your knowledge. Ohh ok! We looked through photos of Riverview in their archives and in a few they showed a staff area with walls built inside of rooms, so that’s what we thought they were. But that explanation makes sense! Yes, it’s still used, but not nearly as often. I work in healthcare and it’s not common practice anymore. I read that there was a time where doctors were paid extra to use some of these treatments and it’s sad to think about all those ppl who suffered so they could have extra money lining their pockets.

In the video when we’re near that locked cell looking place, we saw two clouds appear one after the other and it wasn’t cold. You can see them in the video, we just didn’t point them out. Our son went before us and he said he had several videos with no audio at all, or it was just humming.. He also heard ppl talking and then lost his shit when someone sneezed behind him lol.

Did you see evidence of any past fire on the second floor? - (1 window to the right of the back door) There was said to be a grow opp there back in the early 2000’s that caught fire

Hmm We didn’t know that and don’t recall seeing much of anything that looked like it had been damaged by fire. But then again, everything was mouldy and torn apart, so we very well could have missed it lol

Yes, but West Lawn specifically has a fence all around it and has been abandoned since the 90's. It is not considered safe and has no current uses (hence the fence around it)@@AdventuresRUs

Although the early treatments were barbaric closing these hospitals in the early 2000’s has lead to many people being incarcerated in provincial and federal jails where they get little treatment there is no 24 hour a day care there is no care on weekends for their mental health issues or break downs. These hospitals need to be re-opened with modern care and treatment. As a correctional officer I am expected to be a mental health counsellor as well as a peace officer, waiter, mediator and first responder I get paid less than a trades person or someone who has a far less dangerous and demanding job. People would be shocked to see what we are expected to deal with on a daily basis and would be shocked at how often we are injured both physically, emotionally and mentally and how often we run short staffed due to people being off due to stress.

Hello Scott, Can’t agree with you more. Unfortunately a large portion of our homeless population is also the result of the closures of psychiatric hospitals too. It’s very disheartening to see people struggle on the streets who need support that can only be offered in a hospital setting. Thank you for the work that you do. I, Chyanne, work in a hospital setting and we have huge portion of ppl who are patients who struggle with mental issues and addiction. Many would benefit from permanent residency in a facility. I’m from Ontario originally and although we do have a growing homeless population, it’s nothing like you see here and I believe it’s the direct result of these facilities closing their doors and there being very little support.

@@AdventuresRUs HI there, i live on the west coast, and am well aware of the places history, and the unprecedented fentanyl opioid epidemic when is now in its 6th year, I also know the province has tried almost everything they can think of to curb the epidemic, from clean needles to housing to safe drug supply etc etc and for the most part these programs have failed, because the addiction is so strong, So for addicts to get well they must have full cooperation in programs provided and most do not cooperate with this, which is why some are wanting this place to fully open up again getting hard core Addicts off the streets and into treatment, Although serious plans were in the works with the land, But unfortunately i just found out that the land was originally owned by the local first nation people, So the plans were unfortunately scrapped as the indigenous people now have a say in what happens with land, so again any plans to get people in therapy and housing there was just cancelled as the place possibly may become a native only healing Centre of some kind. So B.C may have to build another psychiatric hospital elseware, P.S One good thing about the place was around four years ago the main building with the big white columns and matching white stairs was used in a couple scenes a major Hollywood film staring Ryan Reynolds, DEADPOOL 2 the place is seen towards the end of the film with the big fight scene with the juggernaut mutant...

When we were there, we didn’t experience anything. But, in the video there were two clouds that appeared in the same area, which we thought was weird. We had some problems w audio and one slow motion glitch that we’ve never experienced before. Someone else commented that they heard humming and another person thought they saw something in a reflection in a mirror. Our son went before us and too experienced audio problems in a few of his clips and said he heard someone sneeze behind him lol

If you’re talking about the two clouds that appeared at the beginning near the cage in the basement, then we might know what you’re talking about. We’ll have to look at what you saw at 16:57 though.

I hate to rain on your parade, but there are no ghosts haunting the halls of Riverview. I've been there hundreds of times over the last three decades, working on one film project or another. I've spent two full overnights 'dressing sets' in the Crease clinic, - the building that is supposedly the most haunted, begging for something to happen. Nothing. I've spent countless hours alone in just about every building on the site, as well as on the grounds and in the woods. It looks haunted, smells haunted, but alas....no ghosts. Any 'relics' being found are more likely from a film production leaving them behind than from any actual vintage hospital stock. Again, sorry to dispel the myth.

Well "feel" is one thing - I'll admit that Riverview is creepy, but haunted it is not. But I guess a tag line of "One of Vancouver's LEAST Haunted Locations" wouldn't get you the clicks. Also, Riverview is not an Insane Asylum as you call it - it's a hospital. And still operates as such. Some advice - stick with what you know.@@AdventuresRUs

You know nothing. Not everyone will have paranormal experiences. Some are more sensitive to it than others. There’s a very high chance of there being some type of energy in there.
