So we’ve reached the top floor of this wing. What still remains to be explored is the whole other one seen somewhere over there. A look down. The 1960’s was the first decade, during which not much emphasis was placed on the stairways of the buildings. Despite this one being just a side one, itContinue reading “We’ll Show You The Morgue Part V”

We’ll Show You The Morgue Part IV
So far the hospital had offered us little more than smashed rooms with office furniture and old hospital equipment. On the third floor we found something almost unseen in this building: curtains. An old hymn book. These were common in old institutions back in the days. The third floor corridor. It looks like the authoritiesContinue reading “We’ll Show You The Morgue Part IV”
We’ll Show You The Morgue Part III
The previous post ended in stairs, this one begins with stairs. Behind the corner from the last view was fire hose, plastic and some random cloth. This really is a weird decoration element and certainly not an original feature. But why, jus why is there a goose every two ducks? I don’t get this. ThisContinue reading “We’ll Show You The Morgue Part III”
We’ll Show You The Morgue Part II
Inside we are. Already in the first rooms you could see that the hospital was badly damaged. There was a lot of wear on the walls, debris and glass everywhere. The colors and materials were a bit different than in the previous mental asylums I had visited, but all in all this was very muchContinue reading “We’ll Show You The Morgue Part II”
We’ll Show You The Morgue Part I
I got to choose the first location in the town, my friend chose the second. Already the previous summer they had sent me videos, in which they crashed an abandoned mental asylum in the middle of the night and found the old morgue. Since then they had been talking about taking me there. The complexContinue reading “We’ll Show You The Morgue Part I”
I Can Recall Being Here Part IV
A rarity in this hospital: a small room, where there has been something wet and something glassy. Well this one has a dual meaning. Stop, making food is underway or stop making food. You decide. The second floor corridor looks pretty intact. Wait, what is that face? Oh wait, it’s the young Meiju Suvas. LikeContinue reading “I Can Recall Being Here Part IV”
I Can Recall Being Here Part III
Welcome to the second floor. The entrance to the ward seems pretty much the same as the one a floor below. Here there was also a lot more stuff like clothes and bedclothes. I believe, that there once was a plan to convert the place to house asylum seekers, but this hasn’t happened at leastContinue reading “I Can Recall Being Here Part III”
I Can Recall Being Here Part II
The building was not just about a corridor or some rooms. There were some open spaces and larger lobbies on the side of it. There were flower pattern boards painted on the walls of the corridor. These are probably original from the 1950’s, like I’ve pointed out in other mental asylums and school and educationContinue reading “I Can Recall Being Here Part II”
I Can Recall being Here Part I
A narrow asphalt road leading somewhere from a regional road. Why would anyone be here? Unless they actually knew what there was out there. I knew. Almost ten years ago I had taken a theatre ensemble to a show in a town I barely knew. One of the people knew I was an urban explorerContinue reading “I Can Recall being Here Part I”
A Chinese Affair Part XI
Finally, after a two hour long adventure, I reached the last stages of this crazy old mental asylum partly turned into a Chinese day spa. At this stage it turned out, that ward one was indeed some kind of a spa of its own. I had already found a jacuzzi, and the tiled floors hinted,Continue reading “A Chinese Affair Part XI”
