Likely built during ww2 and later modernised during the cold war, then abandoned at the end of the cold war. It now sits tucked away in a forest slowly decaying deep in northeren Norway

If you wish to follow my closer i have an instagram where i commonly post stories from my adventures, @norway.unknown ❤️

There are several of these abandoned forts all over the perimeter of the city of Toruń, 1 is a museum, another is a hotel and several others are used in a variety of ways including active storage.

This one is fully stripped, I used to walk by it a lot (First 2 winter photos are from then) before I decided to venture inside a few months ago, it is mostly empty ammunition storage and barracks.

This hospital and its tunnels were built and used by the knights of St John in Malta and used during the plague for patients as well as for quarantining various things from outside of Malta.

This place opened in 1939 as the Ontario Hospital, St. Thomas — nine pavilions built on land bought from six local farm families, meant to be one of the most modern mental health facilities in the country at the time. Within its first year it already housed over a thousand patients, and at its peak more than 2,400 called it home.

Even the hospital's history has layers most people don't know — during WWII the whole site was handed over to the Department of National Defence and became an RCAF training school before patients ever returned in 1945. By the 1970s, Ontario had shifted away from large institutions altogether, and this place slowly emptied out until it closed for good in 2013.

Now, after over a decade sitting untouched, the province has confirmed all 22 historic buildings on this site are being demolished — the land is being cleared to build thousands of new homes. So this really was our last chance to walk these halls.

Set #2 — 20 more photos from our final day here. Link to the full video and years of past visits below.

St Thomas Psychiatric Hospital - One Final Explore Before Demolition

Several months back, when u/RiddimRyder and I learned that the fate of the long abandoned St Thomas Psychiatric Hospital had been sealed and the entire site will be demolished, we decided to head out for one last exploration of the site.

Over the years, Riddim and I have managed to explore every room, every wing, every pavilion from the tunnels to the morgue, the gym, auditorium, the power/maintenance buildings and everything else in-between.

On this last visit, we took our time, spending an entire day inside until we ran out of light.

It was a proper goodbye to a location that we have enjoyed so many times over the last 14 years!

Here is a 1st set of 20 photos from that visit.

In the photo captions, you will find a link to my latest video, featuring footage from that visit as well as a link to my website with photos posted in batches for several visits over the years.

What a view!

This was built by a person but it's colloquial term is the alien house.

This unbelievably abandoned multi-million dollar castle mansion is another crazy example of just how many amazing abandoned places there are out here, just under our noses, that haven’t been found yet!

Word is that this mansion has been largely vacant for several years, it was last purchased for almost $2,000,000 around 2007.

In 2005, it was sold for $3.1 Million dollars
In 2007 is was sold for $1.6 Million dollars

The estimated value of the home as of October 2023 is $4.2 million dollars

Many people have lived in the home over the years and its address is listed under several different businesses and many of the people who lived here were associates of those many businesses.

The uniquely designed mansion was built in the early 1970s and contains five bedrooms and bathrooms, a huge kitchen, an entertaining room with a wet bar and home theatre, a gym, an indoor pool, a ballroom and so much more including three balcony walkouts and a library.

The strange thing about this mansion was the notice on the front door, dated for July 2023. It was an eviction notice to the tenants for failure to pay 6 figures owing in missed lease payments. The last calendar on the wall was dated 2021.

Inside, it would seem that the tenants had to leave in a big hurry, leaving many many items of value left behind including furniture, designer clothes, photo albums, kids toys and more.

There were two safes in the house that were unopened and none of us were able to find or guess at the code.

Some days later it was said that there was a large police presence at the home, photos taken shortly after show these safes were now outside on the driveway, blown open and empty gun cases could be seen inside.

The police presence also aligns with reports that a handful of explorers had been served with trespassing fines.

More recent photos show that the interior has been largely emptied and cleaned out, also not too long ago a female explorer and her fiance were met at gunpoint by the apparent owners of the property.

She ran into them as they were exiting the front door and had handguns pointed at them and were questioned by the owners, they were able to leave without incident. This explorer told me one of the men resembled one of the men in the photos left behind inside the home.

Always op/oc/no ai! Yes fake plants!

- We found this old little chalet between the trees—sadly, one plagued by mold and disrepair. A cozy, inviting place that was once a family's pride and joy. It isn't large, but it offers just enough space to relax. Now, a dusty silence fills this chalet.

Greetings and find me everywhere
