- [MeloCat] Came across these
footages just a while ago,
and the people that you see in the video
are the people who got
me into Urbex initially.
One is Travels of the Cat,
and two is the Steve Ronan.
These two people, you'll
see their information
in the description.
So as you can see, we go
in the middle of the night.
And where are we going?
This is called the Siu Lam Hospital.
It's an abandoned mental
hospital in Hong Kong,
I think it's been abandoned since 2000.
And by the way, thanks Travels
of the Cat for the footages.
So awesome, thank you.
'Cause I wasn't smart enough
to take videos back then,
I was just taking pictures
of them taking pictures.
It looks like I was, I don't know,
hiking in the middle of the night.
I got my hydration pack,
I got my headlight,
if anything, if I got caught by security,
I could definitely pass
for someone who got lost
in a night hike.
Not so sure about the two guys, but I can.
(eerie music)
But I'm glad I'm with two guys,
so I think I'm in good hands.
I think.
And Steve is a bit of a
chicken, shame on you, Steve.
And I didn't know anything
about gear at that time,
so as you can see, I didn't
wear any protection, any mask.
There we are, nature's taken over.
And we found the main entrance.
It took us a while to get in there,
I think it's probably because
the guys actually had to film
and I had to wait for them,
and as you can probably see,
there was only the three of us.
I don't think these places
are supposed to be haunted,
but there's a lot of tales
about psychiatric hospitals
that used to do crazy experiments,
having used to do human experiments,
people dying, stuff like that.
We hear that all the time.
Not so sure about this one,
I don't know anything about
this place, even to this day.
(eerie music)
Oh, there we are.
We're in an, it kinda looks like a,
I don't know, it looks like an RPG.
And, yeah, Mel, good job
with the vertical pictures.
And as you can probably see,
most of the places in
Hong Kong, it's gutted.
It's kinda sad.
However, when people left
they forgot to clean up,
so kind of shattered stuff,
they just left it behind.
And interestingly, they had a library
for their clients,
their patients in there.
And I noticed that they actually
have the lights still on,
which is weird.
So I guess this place
is, maybe, I don't know,
half-ass abandoned?
But yup. Scary as heck.
All right, and there we are, we're inside.
And I have no idea,
but I have a preference for walking first,
as if I'm not afraid of something
jumping right in my face
and just chewing my face off.
Okay, too much Sci-Fi's.
But there's definitely an
uncomfortable aura in these places
not so much in a haunted perspective,
it just makes you feel I don't know,
very, just very uncomfortable.
But at the same time,
it kinda gets your adrenaline going so,
so here we are,
and it's just down the hallways and stuff.
As I said, most of the
stuff are taken out already
and as far as I'm concerned,
this place takes the severely
mentally ill back then.
But I don't know why they have
a new location in Hong Kong,
but, I don't know, they
didn't do such a good job
at completely cleaning this place out.
Which makes my wonder, why?
Is it because they're not paid to do so?
I mean, there's documents
and stuff left on the floor,
which can be confidential stuff,
but it's probably because their patients,
that's my speculation,
are not in shape to sue them, so,
I guess people don't really care.
And these people don't know
that their documents are
flying all over the place, either.
I'm not sure if these
people are still alive,
but even if they are, as I said,
they are probably not mentally
capable to press any charges.
It's just very interesting.
I like looking at the stuff
that people leave behind
in abandoned places, that's
actually my favorite part.
For Travels of the Cat,
his favorite part is actually
sneaking into these places,
I don't know what floats his boat,
but for me it's the items
people leave behind.
Yeah, so as you can see,
I'm probably off taking
pictures of other stuff.
This is one of the hallways
that we had to walk down,
(groans) super uncomfortable.
Okay, here we are,
we're at another place
where we found something,
I think it's a,
some type of documents,
or no, no, no, no,
it was magazines and such.
You can see it right there.
And that's my favorite part,
looking at it, it's what, 1996?
It's been abandoned for
what, 20 some years.
Oh, insane, even this publication is 2000.
And see this type of oven?
You don't see that in
Hong Kong very often,
that's actually what we use in Canada.
What is this, a defibrillator?
I don't know what this is.
It's a megaphone.
What is a megaphone?
And, see, there's a chart
of all the rooms and stuff
and they hang the keys,
that shows which room it belongs to.
And guess what we found?
(groans)
There's these huge-ass spiders,
I hate spiders.
I think this is the worst part of my trip.
And it's webs is like my
pantyhose, super duper strong.
Got to get out of here.
And we found this
staircase to somewhere else
but unfortunately, on the other side,
it seems like the lights are still on,
so as I said, this place, I
think it's half-ass abandoned,
so better not to go to the other side
because I think we might
risk getting prosecuted.
Speaking of which, when we were leaving,
Travels of the Cat and Steve
thought it was good idea
to leave at the front door and guess what?
We got caught.
