I lived there for 2 years in the mid 80s, when the hospital was half closed. I've been in almost all the buildings besides the ones I was a patient in. It wasn't horrible, and if it's haunted, I'm welcome there.

I like that you visited on a foggy day. Made for a really neat video to watch of the abandoned hospital.

The round end you were looking into was one end of Warfield Cottage. Dining hall was the building behind you that you panned to.

Hey, great video! I was thinking about exploring here and was wondering if there was any security?
