Skateboarding An Abandoned Psych Ward

This is about as creepy as it gets, The Abandoned Psych Ward in New York state. Back in 1931 the center was thriving, but around World War 2 things started falling apart when unqualified workers took over for nurses who had to serve in the war. abandoned-1 It wasn’t until the 1970s when they officially shut down a handful of the buildings on campus and they’ve just been rotting away ever since. abandoned-5 Consisting of 10 abandoned buildings and 4 buildings that are still functioning. Psych patients roam around the complex and so do cops. Most of the abandoned buildings are pretty boarded up so you can’t get in, but the thing that’s so sick is all the buildings are connected with underground tunnels, so if you can find a way into one, you can access them all. abandoned-2 The nurses used these tunnels to deliver food and supplies to the patients all over the center. It’s surprisingly untouched. You will still find office supplies, files, photos, machinery, and other artifacts. So what did these lads do when they discovered this creepy joint, skate it of course, enjoy:
