Exploring the ABANDONED Lakeville Hospital (Lakeville, MA)

J-MASS INSTAGRAM: @jmassofficial

Join me as I explore one of the creepiest and eeriest abandoned sites I've ever visited on this channel: Lakeville Hospital in Lakeville, Massachusetts. Originally founded in 1910 as the Lakeville State Sanatorium, the hospital was dedicated to treating tuberculosis patients. This was the case up until 1949, when they began accepting other patients with chronic illnesses. By 1963, the institution rebranded to Lakeville Hospital, and began accepting mentally ill patients as well. However, just a few decades later in 1993, Lakeville Hospital would be officially closed and abandoned. Unfortunately, other than the basic details mentioned previously, it was difficult finding more specific information about this location. What we do know is that thousands of patients were accepted into this hospital over the course of 80+ years, and many of them suffered greatly. Today, many abandoned and shuttered buildings remain on the former hospital campus, including the main medical building, a children's ward, and a surgery ward, among others.

I was wicked excited to visit the abandoned Lakeville Hospital, as I had known about it for many years, but never got the chance to check it out--until now! Unfortunately, this site is slated for demolition soon, making this a very time-sensitive exploration for me as it will not exist for much longer. While there are several abandoned buildings on the campus, I only visited three of them in this video; however, I still had a blast exploring them! The Lakeville Hospital has a very creepy and eerie feeling, and I constantly felt like I was not alone (even though I was). The history of this hospital as a treatment facility for tuberculosis patients and the mentally ill also made me very aware of its dark past. Still, this was an extremely interesting site to visit, and one of my most memorable urban exploration moments! I would love to learn more about this somewhat unknown abandoned hospital! Also, I would NOT recommend coming here--this is a very dangerous site with many hazards. If you guys liked this video, make sure to stay tuned for more exploration videos all across New England!
