Exploring A Notorious Abandoned Insane Asylum - Terrible Medical Experiments For almost 145 years mental health care had been offered on the grounds of the Insane Asylum known as the London Asylum for the Insane. It began with the opening of the London Asylum for the Insane in 1870 when the location was considered outside London city limits. Photo Gallery: freaktography.com/exploring-the-abandoned-london-asylum-for-the-insane/ The site was home to the London Asylum for the Insane (opened 1870), which was renamed Ontario Hospital London in 1932, then The London Psychiatric Hospital (opened in 1968) and finally renamed: Regional Mental Health Care London in 2001.

And that is just remnants from when the place finally closed and had been abandoned for decades. One can only imagine what objects were filled in this place prior to the various psychiatric reforms that took place since its opening in the late 19th century.

If I wasn't mentally unstable, I'd certainly become unstable there being institutionalized in one of the minature patient rooms. Seemed more like jail cells than a hospital room. If those walls had voices, I'd imagine they'd have alot to bring to light, being the patients most certainly didnot have any voice in that place. . I feel for all the patients admitted there. What a horrible way to be forced to exist. Nice explore. Thank you for sharing. P€a¢€~n~£0v€✌🏼

As a nurse, I find it hard to believe that they did some of the procedures on these poor mentally ill people. Thanks especially for the history of this facility! Take care from Philadelphia, PA. ☮️❤️

The best exploration channel I've come across so far. Many layered production : as a lover of architecture it was a pleasure to watch such informative (and well lit), camerawork, it was unhurried with lovely overlays that gave extra context. The voiceover was calm and interesting and the soundtrack did not fall into the trap of being over dramatic. I'm going to be watching a lot more. Cheers for the great work.

Hi from Alberta. A lot of sadness in those walls - mental health care has a very dark history. Thanks very much for sharing. Stay safe in your explorations!

thank you so much for this! I used to work at Regional Mental Health Care London until it moved to Parkwood. I used to take walks at lunch time and passed this old building on the ground and always wanted to see inside. You have allowed me to do this, and for that, I am very grateful!

Have been in there several times, all at night, trying to capture proof of the afterlife. This place is incredibly haunted.
