Sorry guys, no interior shots on this one... I actually had to get security permission to take exterior shots of this place. It is heavily patrolled, and there is a 12 foot fence mounted all around the building. It's ready to collapse at any time. The inside is extremely rotted.
The history behind this place is extreme. It is said that there was a doctor who performed bizarre experiments on mental patients and many of them died as a result of it. They also did numerous lobotomies in here too. This is all fact, and I was told by many friends and the security guard too.
|
Such tales are trite and cliche.
As someone who does know the history of this place I can tell you that it's history is not nearly as exciting as you may want it to be. This was the medical exam building of the original London Psychiatric Hospital, if you had gone inside you would have seen numerous recovery rooms for patients, a denture lab, and an operating room. You would also see that the building is in relatively good shape, given it's age, and is not on the verge of collapse.
Lobotomies were likely performed there, but probably not as many as you may think. Also, the notion of "bizarre experiments" being preformed is absurd. The original superintendent of the hospital intended it to be a peaceful and idyllic place for recovery and the recovery rate for patients admitted to the hospital was quite high. The original London Psychiatric Hospital never experienced significant overcrowding and there is certainly no history of experimentation on patients.
The next time you do your research I suggest you check with the Ontario Archives and not your friends.

As far as needing permission to take exterior shots of the building, that makes no sense, unless your laws up there are way different from those in the states. If the shot is taken from somewhere you are allowed to be, it's generally legal. Ya' know, aside from the fact that all photography is illegal these days.

Grow up you goof. London is a strict and very heat place for Urbexing... I suggest you keep your comments to yourself. Since you're the wise one, provide me a link of the site's history. The building looks in good condition on the outside. But half of the roof is collapsed. HAVE YOU ever been there? Sounds like you haven't. Seems to me that you're presuming you know everything about the condition of the place.
Why does everyone have to be such an asshole on this forum to everyone? Is it because it's mostly just American individuals? It goes to show alot... I was told by legitimate sources including a security guard a brief overview of the site's history. So what if it could potentially be an Urban Legend, you don't have to be some sluggish asshole about it. Have some fuckin' consideration.

For the ignorant comments, they are ineffective to me. LIKE IT or NOT I will still continue to post and share my images to this community, even to the assholes that give themselves a bad reputation by posting the most inconstructive and redundant opinions. Here in Canada, we frown upon people like yourselves. You know who you are, you lose the egos and pretention, and maybe you might just get some respect. But hey, maybe that's just the only way most of you know how to perceive. I wish you well and maybe broaden your minds a little bit. THERE ARE NO RULES TO PHOTOGRAPHING.

| | | | PS. I have people whining to me "Why don't you go in... go in..." I have a question for you. WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN? LISTEN! This asylum is HEAVILY GUARDED, equipped with MOTION SENSORS. and there are video cameras that point to it's location... This ASYLUM is on an ACTIVE MENTAL HOSPITAL GROUND. I had 3 security cars drive past me 3 times that night, I was only there for an hour and a half.
The inside is ready to collapse, the outside is FINE! Do you understand? It's not worth anything. AND DROP this Urban Explorer elitist shit, it's fuckin' childish.

No it has nothing to do with the ratio of Canadians to Americans. Some people are just knobs, others take a dislike to newcomers who don't have all the facts. In the case of what you posted, I suspect it came down to folklore and urban legend more than anything.
The response, while sounding more accurate, could have been worded more politely. I don't mind your messages and your avatar is kinda cute. In this matter I don't suspect ego really had anything to do with it... again, some people know more than others on the facts of locations. I've corrected people on here, and I've been corrected. The thing is, it was done tactfully.
Lick your wounds, you've told them off... and maybe they won't be such knobs next time. Personally I don't come down hard on newcomers because we've ALL been one at one time or another.
Receive encouragement, you'll come back another day.
Receive criticism, you may not come back at all.

Nope there aren't, but there sure is something to be said about this comment..
Posted by Lingerer_of_Silence
So far I only know that for a fact this place is haunted, a doctor performed bizarre experiments and killed many patients from it, also lobotomies were a common procedure...
|
I used to run a Paranormal Website, I have friends that run "The Shadows Project" website, I have been on radio, TV, etc... And to this day I have never been able to say or prove that "I know that for a fact this place is haunted"
You've never even been inside, nevermind set up sensitive equipment, done an investigation, or anything. You talked to a security guard. I am sure he is the most reliable Minimum wage source out there. You couldn't even give the slightest tidbit of history on it, so you have inserted one foot already.
You've been hanging out with those morons Steph and Dan from Haunted Hamilton haven't you?
That place is in the UEDB, it secure in the sense there is still an active hospital surrounding it. Cameras, alarms etc.

On an unrelated note, I watched the Girly Ghost Hunters for the firs time last night. I'd seen their website before they ended up with their own TV show.
I'd never vomited in my mouth until I endured watching this show about girls who scream at spiders. Zomg!

Like I said, It's not a matter of competition for me and I won't be apologizing to anyone. There's a thing called RATIONALITY. In London, Ont. The police are very strict. It would be foolish of me to Break and Enter into a fully boarded surveilanced place with motion sensors. It's a certainty that you will get caught. Then you would have to face the consequence of trying to explain your way out of a Breaking and Entering charge which here in Canada you can get up to 2 years in the Kingston Penitentiary. It would be considered "forced" entry. FORCE = Break, ENTRY = Enter. therefore, Break and Enter = prolonged jail time. NOT WORTH MY VALUABLE TIME.

It's unlikely a judge would sentence someone to two years for your first break and enter. Two years less a day MAYBE, but even that is pushing it.
Many of us don't break into places regardless of the degree of getting caught so it's not an issue.
I've seen your photos, and they kick ass. The HDR stuff is amazing. I've seen people get full membership without posting ANY photos. I suggest you keep posting your photos on here, earn the respect you deserve and full membership may be expedited. That would include not calling AV's imageupload a 'piece of shit' lol. I admit I laughed but only because I tried picturing the expression on AV's face when he read that.
I don't see where you need to defend yourself. You're doing great with contributing to UER's forums and not just via plain text.
Edit: London is not that far from Woodstock. Why don't you meet up with Trains and/or PhilG. They'd show you around I'm sure. On the flip side, try finding people from London from UER as well. If enough of them can vouch for you, then apply for full membership.
