A huge thank you to everyone who is reading this and has been here supporting me in the past year. Its been the hardest one of my life and im just appreciative of the ones that have been here for years. Wanted to say Happy New Year to all my my friends and i hope you enjoy this different style of video. I want to change things up going forward with more camping oriented videos inside impressive and historic abandoned properties! Let me know your guys thoughts ! And have a safe 2024 everyone

My dad was a psych nurse in a beautiful old building (1885) , it’s Thursday that I’m watching this and dad passed on Monday, it came up on my feed for a reason, think he’s saying he’s good

I hate that these buildings go unused and rot away. They’re so beautiful. I wish we had prettier architecture. I’ve always wanted to own and school and I can only fantasize about buying something like this, fixing it, and opening it. People don’t realize how much architecture actually affects the human spirit.

You guys are some of the best. I love your humbleness. And being an old lady not in the best of health I am so happy to hear your going to be camping out at the abandoned locations. Had this been going on back in the 70s when I was a young chic, what you are doing would have been a dream of mine. Sure, I used to camp out, but in the mountains or in the desert. Never in an abandoned building, let alone an abandoned asylum. We dont have to worry too much about the dead. It's the living that will kill you!! Keep up the good work. You rock!!!

These old hospitals have always absolutely fascinated me. To think that these buildings represent all that thousands of human beings would ever experience of life. Their best days and their worst, encapsulated within these walls, day after day, to the end. And now they're just... empty rooms. Forgotten. It's mindblowing.

It’s also super honorable how you went through and honored people’s art vs making this whole place spooky. I think you were welcomed here and brought additive happiness into the space. Good job. Some people would tokenize and make scary. Thanks for honoring their memories.

My cat is sooo interested in this video. I was so surprised. I am enjoying also. 😅

It is so sad too see a beautiful building fall to ruin. The craftsmanship of people so long ago was stunning.

Wow.....This building must have been beautiful when it was fully operational. Made with quality when first built. Big and luxuries.

Sorry your past year has been rough. I sincerely hope 2024 is a great one for you! You're closing in on 500k subs, and that is no small accomplishment! Imo, a lot of URBEX/Abandoned channels aren't very good, despite the fact that I *love* abandoned places and have always felt drawn to them, because the content creator/s is too distracting or just babbles too much throughout the video, instead of letting the location "speak." Yours is one of the few urbex/abandoned channels I actually subscribe to, so you must be doing something right! 🙂

You guys are crazy for sleeping there. Never mind coyotes. Anyone could get in that place. I'd be more afraid of people getting at you than coyotes. Poughkeepsie itself can be a little sketchy in certain places. I was also worried about the floors, or lack there of. Beautiful views of the Hudson river though. And great waterfront dining. Be safe.

I will never understand why vandals desire to destroy places. It makes no sense to me at all. I'm just the opposite and would rather spend a few moments fixing something...putting things back to the way they were. Enjoyed the video and TY...

At 16 my first job was working at an Asylum that looked a lot like this one. That was 51 years ago. I grew up fast an got wise real quick. I have a great story about a man that road up and down in an elevator when I would come to work every day. To make the story short, I found out he had chopped a women up in an elevator with an ax. Many stories that I will never forget.

This building was once brand new with shiny floors and people hustling up and down the halls. It will be interesting to see where you go in the New Year. Thanks for the explore!

Omg, this is next to Poughkeepsie by the Home depo. You finely saw my request. Thank you so much i live near it

I really like the camping format you used. It takes the explore to a different level being able to see what you ate and how you spent the night there. Amazing video! Thank you for capturing it for us!! ❤

It's lovely how present and thoughtful of past experiences you are. Most would just look at an object and comment, but you dive so much deeper. Imagining who touched it, how and why. You respect the lives of all that walked those halls and acknowledge that they were once there. It's sad to think so many people that created energy in that area are long gone and forgotten. I feel that returning to these places returns a little spark back to all those who've crumbled away, just like the structure. I would have taken those drawings and had them framed, respected. I sense the creator would have had a smile on their face, knowing that their expressions are still creating good energy. Thank you for being you. Know that next year will be rough, but better than last year. We're moving into year of the 8🕯 Edit: I wrote my comment way before your final thought outside. It's wild how similar they are💮😁

This is a BEAUTIFUL explore! I love the pics at night, how you noticed the lighting the morning, your approach to the beauty of it all....... this is great!

🍕🍕🍕🍕 One of the best explores yet! 🤩 Love the different format of this one. I cannot wait to see what 2024 has in store!!

I love how these buildings are still up even though the inside is just destroyed

You have come a long way my friend! I have been subbed to your channel for quite a few years now, almost from the beginning and I've seen your channel grow and become more and more. It's not just taking pictures and saying a few things in your videos bro. You look up history and teach us about places that we didn't even know existed. Please keep it going my friend. Cheers to many more years.

I am 25 minutes in and I don’t want this to end! You guys are the best and Thank you for sharing and being so brave to camp out. The look and architecture of these buildings is very similar to the hospital I was born in and went to 57 years ago here in NY. Unfortunately it was abandoned and torn down. Shame as it should have been preserved. As a child and going for visits i remember there was a marble grand staircase that fascinated me. But the outside of the building use to creep me out. Today I wish I could see it. You guys stay safe and keep up the good work. ❤

PIZZA! Amazing video, loved it! Thank you, Devin. Happy new year to you.

It's always good to change things up and camping is a great idea Thanks for all you've done It may have been a rough year but still put out great content And I'm here for the long haul Happy New Year to you and yours Fireman 🔥🔥🔥👍

Thank you guys we really enjoyed this- your calm, articulate manner and obvious respect and appreciation for detail and beauty really shines through. Felt like we were right there with you! Take care, love from England 🇬🇧 ❤

What an amazing building! Thank you for the tour. You document the forgotten. I appreciate it so very much.

Pizza, I watched the premiere and as I'm from the UK had to go to bed as it was beyond midnight. I've just come back to finish what I missed and found I only had ten minutes to go! Your appreciation of history is so good, you see the beauty of all the past artifacts, architecture and family importance. I'm so impressed by this as it's something that I've been part of in my life too. Many years ago I worked in cinemas and in mostly old style 1930's buildings and I LOVED that they had so much history in them. Imagining people in the war and families through the years going to their local picture house and it being part of their lives, I felt very close to the buildings, emotionally attatched and cried when some of them closed-as I worked for an old company that slowley shut all it cinemas was able to see them after closure too - full of history, so many now demolished. I've watched your cinema/multiplex explores and find them quite upsetting BUT I am grateful for you doing them as I see what it was like for you in the US. Always facinating explores, excellent work.

i grew up urbex, this video brought back memories of my teen years exploring every inch of kings park psych on long island ny. anongst many other places. So no surprise i watch alot of urbex youtubers, gonna have to subscribe and put you up in the higher ranks with the proper people, You kept my interest all the way through and noticed alot of things that many would have walked right by. very well done!!!!!

The photography in this vid is magnificent. I would love to have them in a book with your storytelling. One of your best vids ever. Thanks. ❤

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I loved the entire vibe of this video. I love your attention to detail and your overall filming abilities. I used to do this type of thing well before KZfaq existed and well before digital photography existed. In those days I couldn't afford to document anything. Film was expensive and development was even more expensive. I did have a super 8mm camera but couldn't afford the film, let alone afford to get it developed. All I have are my memories. As far as spending the night in abandoned places, I love the idea. I used to do it, but the world was much safer back then. I did what you are doing in the late 1970's to mid 1980's. I never trespassed, and always had permission from the owner of the land.

I like the way you presented this place. No spooky effects, DIY seances, waiting for random noises and pretending they’re voices. You’re respectful of the people who once passed through those doors and lived behind those stained glass windows. Thank you for this. People with mental health issues are still people, and we’re not all that scary. Many differences we now accept got people put in asylums, including things like depression, autism, and women who wished to run their own lives.

I’m a first timer to you and your videos and I thoroughly enjoyed both! You seem like a genuine, kind spirit and I LOVED your quality, well done video. I’m now “following” you! Stay well and happy 2024.

Pizza So many emotions going thru me watching this.... Just in awe of the beauty, sadness, hope, curiosity & melancholy all at once. Your photography & editing are amazing. This is my 1st time watching. But i hope for more of this wonderful content. Thank you

As always, you did amazing with this video! I love how you give the history and as much information as you can. Thank you for your dedication to your craft. This definitely looked dangerous to navigate! What a gift to be shown inside this gem of beautiful decay! I wish humanity could rewind and go back to a time of pride in craftsmanship like what was put into those buildings. Such exquisite detail from the stained glass windows, iron railings and tin ceilings. Also loved the houses on the property with the antique furniture. ❤

PIZZA! Amazing. You’re such a captivating story teller & i enjoy your comments about beauty and style very much. Been binging all your video’s. Looking forward to more camping one’s!

This was once more another great video. I love that you tell about the past times. Thank you for the entertainment. I hope you have a great Happy New Year. Please stay safe.

Fascinated by the history of Asylums and enjoyed how informative this was. Happy New Year!

Just found your channel and immediately subscribed. Your appreciation for all the small things not just the architecture (the stain glass, the drawings on the walls, the toys left behind, the old machinery, the natural takeover) is so beautiful to watch. My mother is an antique dealer and I appreciate all those small intricacies as well. You show a deep love and respect for the places you explore and your enthusiasm is felt and passed on through your videos. Thank you

Thank you for showing this beautiful campus. So glad I found you guys. I enjoyed it very much. I love urban exploration.😀

Epic explore, Devin. Keep up the good work, there is sunshine after the rain 👍😀

This was amazing! I have loved exploring old buildings since I was a kid and if we had social media around back in my day, I would’ve been able to show so much. This was a great exploration and I’ve served in the field of mental health and behavior for 30 years. This was really wonderful history that I did not know. I wish we still had facilities like that today in which they are built for the patient not for the profit ;may your new year 2024 be everything that you desire think it speak it believe it 🎉🎉❤you got this!!!

Happy new years! And thanks for all the great work you did this year, you're one of the best explorers and love to see you're still improving!

Happy New Year 🎉 Thanks for all the amazing videos. I appreciate how thoroughly and calmly you do your explorations. You really let the viewer spend a lot of time in the location with you and examine the details. I'm excited for your new videos!

So beautifully done. Always appreciate your love and insight on the history 🙏🏼 2023 was rough on me as well, may we know peace in 2024. Happy new year 🎊

This was an amazing video. Watched it the whole way through. Thanks, keep up the great work .

First of all Happy New years! I am so sorry to hear that this past year has been so difficult for you. Same here and I imagine it was that way for many of us. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and it was very interesting and thought provoking . You did a great job! Please be safe in the future (advice coming from a mom ) I look forward to seeing videos you put out this year and will also check out your previous ones. Stay safe. Wishing you happiness, health and prosperity for the new year going forward. 🍕🏚️

A beautiful place. Great architecture, great details. The battle between nature and civilisation continues at its best. The view of the remains is impressive, as are all the effects of nature now taking back what is hers - through, for example, this vegetation as if growing out of a basin. An amazing impression. It is a pity that this mental institution has been left to its own devices, falling partly into ruin. You mentioned that the last year has been the most difficult of your entire life. I firmly believe that it was the worst and that such a difficult period will not happen again - I wish you this with all my heart. We see only professionalism and passion. A successful young person - because that is what you are to me. Full of passion, professionalism. We do not see difficult moments, tragedies - we look at someone thinking that this person has a trouble-free life. How often the truth is far from that! All the best to you. May you prosper in life!

Absolutely loved this explore ,always love your passion for these beautiful places and to think in 5-20 years all these places will be gone is a shame it's so glad people like you document them thank you for sharing .pizza

This was such an interesting video and place to be able to see that one normally wouldn't. I do watch camping videos from time to time so I really enjoyed the camping aspect of this one and I'm excited to see what other abandon places you stay overnight in, in the future! Happy New Year! Also pizza!

Such a fascinating & prestigious building! I liked the door half open while filming above the missing floors. I think over night stays at different locations would be awesome. You have the most peaceful, interesting, & mindful exploration channel, just keep being creative! I also watched the video to the end- 🍕

Thank you so much for your time in recording your visit. I never knew this place existed. Beautiful architecture and so sad at the same time. 😢

Thank you for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed the vid. It’s sad to see such a beautiful place in such disrepair.

So very sorry for having such a hard year. Wishing you a Happy Healthy New Year. Thank you for all your exciting videos 🎉

Thank you for this video. We need a big state hospital "city" built similar to this one in Southern California! Bring these back, only this time the government can get it right - with the oversight of Medicare and Medicaid and Medical doing routine checks on their facilities. I like the idea of the patients being engaged in work to keep the facility running. We desperately need this for the mentally insane and borderline-functioning, and non-functioning people trying to live on the streets with what they receive from Social Security Emergency Fund that replaced the old Welfare Program. We need the Welfare Program re-instated and separated from Social Security again so that Social Security can once more be for retired workers. Something has to be done for our street people.

Pizza! This was great. Loved the long video and I hope there will be more! Happy New Year-be safe and stay well❤

HI GUYS ,, WOW!! WHAT A GREAT GIFT THAT YOU HAVE GIVING TO US,, A GREAT SLEEP OVER AND WATCHING THE SUNSET AND SUNRISE AND TEACHING US NOT TO BE AFRAID TO GET OUT AND EXPLORE ,,.. THOSE STAIN GLASS WINDOWS ARE GREAT AND THE HORSE PICTURES SO OLD IS HISTORY.. THAT DOOR THAT YOU OPEN OMG WOW!! THAT MADE ME JUMP BACK,, THAT WAS A DROP ,,HA!!!! THE OLD TOYS ARE COOL ..SAD, MAGAZINES,..SHADED GLASSES BRINGS IN HAPPYNESS TO THE BRAIN ,,JUST LIKE THE STAIN GLASS BRING IN HAPPY THOUGHTS ..THANKS GUYS ,, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Pizza ! Wow. I was completely transfixed by this explore. Watched all the way through. I love the way those places were constructed and in particular the philosophy of its design. Thanks for the history too. A terrific job!

Oh my gosh this was wonderful to watch. These are so good to preserve and have documented. I wish there was less vandalism but is the world we live in. So many things to learn from going and exploring places abandon places like this. How things age structurally, hidden history, lost artistry, the list goes on. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure!

Delicious pizza! Love this long explore. Of course all of these explores are fascinating but I also love listening to your commentary and how much you appreciate and love on these abandon places.

I'm late to the show but wanted to say thank you for the years you have shared your wonderful videos with us. God bless & happy new year. Pizza 😘😘

Thank you for all the wonderful videos this past year. God bless you and have a Happy New Year.

Pizza. Love your videos, melancholy and peaceful all at once. Keep your head up and keep making these amazing videos

I found a kirkbride asylum in west virginia. Gothic revival style. It wasn't abandoned though. Got to walk inside it. Alot of it was restored. Has afew other buildings around it added in the early 1900s. Wasn't allowed to go inside most of them. It was a nice trip.

I always look forward to your videos and the reverence you have for those old homes and buildings! You're a good guy, Devin. Keep up the excellent work! BTW, PIZZA sounds really good right now. 🍕😎👍

Thank you so much for the extensive history on this absolutely gorgeous campus.

That was an amazing video and I hope to see many more of these like this I personally took 2 days to watch this just so I can take in all the footage that you guys did thank you and I appreciate it and I hope that your 2024 will be amazing

WOW, an articulate KZfaqr that knows how to speak the English language!!! Happy new subscriber here. Love these old buildings and especially enjoyed the owl and coyotes under a full moon. YOU KNOW HOW to present your subject with interest and excitement. Lincoln Regional Center in Lincoln Nebraska was a large facility in the 1970's with underground tunnels connecting the buildings. Very scary for a 17 year old girl to travel alone but warmer than the Nebraska winter above my head. I was so naive and very fortunate that nothing ever happened to me as I did my job which lasted approximately 1 year as it was a very sad and depressing environment. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there ❤

Pizza! Thank you for exploring this building and posting it! I regularly visit the area and I’m always drawn into this magnificent structure and wonder what it looks like inside, so - mystery solved! 😊

Best Pizza 🍕 Ever thanks Devin amazing explore always enjoy your heartfelt perspective ❤ rough year for me too maybe next will be better 🙏

Pizza! Man, what an awesome video. So beautiful and desolate. I can’t believe you didn’t see any other explorers. I love these places. The architecture. The history. I’m just too cowardly to visit them. So I live vicariously through folks like you. Thank you for making this video!

I love thé new camping adventures! This place is absolutely gorgeous. To me, hearing coyotes howling is one of the joys of camping.

Pizza! As an Upstate New Yorker, I must say you have balls for not only spending the night in a state hospital but in late fall/winter. I would never. I’m fairly new to the channel, slowly going through all your videos. They’re great and I think you’re doing an excellent job. Looking forward to your future overnight/camping expeditions. Stay safe! ⛺

Awesome content. Thank you and Happy New Year to you all!!!

Just found your channel and this was awesome! I lived near an asylum similar to this one. It's like a forgotten time and makes you think deeply of the past. The photography was phenomenal. 🍕🍕🍕

Firstly, thank you to yourself, Luka and Chris for exploring and recording this location for history and for us. I have deep appreciations for Victorian Gothic architecture. The scale of works necessary to achieve this level of beauty, functionality, workmanship, almost does not exist anymore, sadly. Kirkbride had exceptional knowledge of both architecture and mental health care of that time, and that vision is still alive today, in the many remains of the Kirkbride facilities still standing. Some of my favorite things about those days, are the craftsmanship utilized, and the various hardware utilized, such as door knobs, hinges, the eventual light fixtures that came after the gas lamps, etc. He was ahead of his time, in my opinion. Mental health care - unlike physical body health care - requires far more than just trying to keep people alive physically. However, once "Doctors" began experimenting with various "treatments" such as massive insulin shock "therapy", lobotomies, etc. there was hardly a human alive who would voluntarily submit to those so-called treatments, but many, many people were forced unwillingly to be the guinea pigs for such experiments. Then came the first pharmaceutical drugs. At first, they were initially a god-send to mental health patients. But in a short time, pharmaceutical manufacturers "realized" the get rich quick schemes they could create, would give them riches beyond their wildest dreams...to the detriment of mental health patients around the world. Many pharmaceutical drugs helped enormously, but many of their manufactured drugs caused far more harm than good, at the expense of mental health patients lives. Unfortunately, Big Pharma still runs rampant all around the world, especially here in the US. But genuine medical researchers and their facilities are making great headway in drug efficacy, use, and oversight on Big Pharma. At about 51:00 you mentioned the Dr.'s residences must have been abandoned way before the rest of the (brick) buildings. I'm wondering if they may have been abandoned about the same time, as, the Dr.'s homes were built only from wood, vs. brick and concrete. Wood taking far less time to disintegrate. Sorry this was such a long reply, but thank you again for preserving what is left of this facility.

Pizza 🍕 great video! What makes us enjoy your content so much is that your passionate about it so video length is mute we are here for it 😊

I absolutely loved this video, thank you. Happy New Year to you and everyone else. Peace ✌️

Nice I can see you have learned a lot from other channels, you seem very respectful. Surprised you were able to stay for so long at this location without running into other people. Please stay respectful and hold others accountable for ruining these amazing places.

Thank you for all the wonderful content you put out. Awesome job on this exploration.

Pizza! Great video, enjoy the camping element as well. We desperately need these asylums opened back up. Too many mentally ill homeless and drug addicted trying to self-medicate.

So awesome running into Your Channel. Your Content is amazing and brave. Take care. Looking forward to watching all your old & new videos! Be safe!

PIZZA! Now that was exploring!!!! Thank you, and I could NOT stop watching. I thought after 30 or 40 min i would ant to move on to another video...nope. So many emotions watching this, and your narrations were/are so thoughtful..just amazing to see all this and trying to visualize what was happening in these rooms as the video was playing. Thanks for all you do and keep exploring!!

I hope you guys started a new urban legend! Cleaning that examination table. Imagine defacing something like that and coming back to see it gleaming new. 😮

I really enjoyed your video, and photos too. This is the first of your videos that I've watched, it will not be the last. And, pizza. :)

Pizza! My first video of yours and i loved it. Im a holistic therapist so this was super fascinating that there were asylums back then that took a more natural approach and less of the the electro therapy, straight jacket approach. Subbed now so looking forward to more ❤

I love these longer films full of adventure! Well done.

Pizza. Your videos are so good. I can't wait to see what you are going to do next. Have a much better year this year.❤

Well done! Enjoyed the video very much. 🎉Happy New year!

🍕🍕 Great video! I love seeing the old beautiful buildings. Your commentary and your respect for the buildings makes your videos so enjoyable

This was amazing, I loved it! Thank you ❤❤❤❤

Ran across your channel last week and I put this stuff on my to watch list. This place reminds me of the Danvers hospital where they filmed the movie session 9. Can't wait to watch more of your videos

Got me subbed here, bros. Outstanding informational video, with such respect for the structure, and the history of the location. Wish all urban explorators been this way.

"Pizza" Watched it through to the end and thoroughly enjoyed it. You do a wonderful job exploring abandoned places and always look forward to your next one. Happy New Year!!!

Dude, what a great video! This place is huge! You'll have to go back. Its going to take years to demolish. The intrigue of this place is very captivating, Thanks for venturing out to risk life and limb. I really dig your channel.

Pizza!!! Great video . . Loved the way you presented this. Thank you

Thanks for this wonderful video! I enjoy it very much Pizza

This will be awesome !!! Happy new Year🎉

I hope 2024 is a great year for you. Thank u for all you do to bring us the videos. I really enjoy them. ❤

Pizza 🍕 🍕 Great video, love that you don't just bypass all the great architecture and things left behind but let us see them. Always love your videos, happy new year and here's to more in 2024.
