Any abandoned place, no matter how harmless it may have been in the past, breeds fear. Psychiatric hospital - two words that many do not evoke the most pleasant associations, and if such an institution is also abandoned, then this is generally creepy for many. For many, but not for all. People involved in stalking are always willing to find an unexplored, abandoned building. Today in this article we will learn about the most famous in Russia, as well as the most terrible abandoned mental hospitals in the world.

In Russia

First, let's talk about abandoned mental hospitals in Russia. In general, in our country there are a lot of buildings long forgotten by people, which for some reason do not want to be demolished, or they simply do not interfere with anyone. Among them are the atomic lighthouse on Sakhalin, the estate of the architect Khrenov (which is currently being restored), the unfinished Severnaya Korona Hotel, the unfinished Khovrinsk hospital, maternity hospitals, and psychiatric hospitals.

One of them is an abandoned mental hospital in Moscow. In 2006, several of its buildings were empty. On the face of it, it's normaldilapidated building, but quite creepy inside.

Failed roof, magazines and books with frightening names, bars on windows, flasks, leftover medicines, lists of patients, and cards with terrible diagnoses. They usually describe the diagnosis and behavior of the patient. After reading all this, it becomes somehow uncomfortable. But this does not frighten those who like to climb abandoned places, it only adds extreme sports.

Krasnodar abandoned mental hospital

Something similar can be observed in Krasnodar. The photo shows an abandoned psychiatric hospital, which is actually one of the buildings of the Shapsug sanatorium.

The building is located 15 km from the city, it is perfectly visible from the road and quite difficult to confuse with anything. The abandoned mental hospital seems pretty creepy from the inside. All the same bars on the windows, mountains of abandoned rubbish, dilapidated walls with numerous inscriptions left by lovers to visit the most terrible places. In one of the rooms, the word “death” is even painted in red paint. Looks very intimidating. Why does this inspire fear and horror?

Fear, mysticism, horror

Each of us must have seen a horror film made on the theme of a psychiatric hospital. Scary shots, frightening sounds, various kinds of special effects convey such an atmosphere, as if you yourself are there. We are afraid of what we see in part and in reality. In general, the films are not for the faint of heart. A psychiatric hospital evokes unpleasant associations in any normal person.

Just by observing the behavior of the people who live there, you don't want to see it again. Not only their behavior is frightening, but also the methods of treatment. Do you know the thoughts of mentally ill people? Perhaps it is they that are saturated with the walls of psychiatric homes. What other creepy hospitals exist all over the world?

Ararat

One of the largest clinics in Australia is the abandoned mental hospital "Ararat", known today as "Aradel". Why is she "famous"? Thousands of patients suffering from mental disorders have been subjected throughout the existence of the clinic to a variety of treatments, which, by the way, were quite terrifying. "Aradel" has also become a home for psychopaths. Approximately 13 thousand patients died during its existence. At the moment, "Aradel" is the most visited abandoned place in all of Australia. Many fans of tickling their nerves claim that they have encountered ghosts more than once while walking through a creepy building.

Abandoned mental hospital in the USA

The next terrible mental hospital is located in the US, Ohio. Abandoned in 1993. The hospital is famous for a large number of cured people and terrible methods of therapy. One of them is a lobotomy, in which one of the lobes of the brain is excised. In addition, the hospital is also popular due to the presence of especially dangerous criminals there. Severe control and terrible treatment reigned here, the information was largely secret. Hundreds of patients are buried near the walls of the hospital. Their tombstones were not signed by name,but only numbered. Over time, the lands were given to the university, but the place remained mystical. This is justified by the disappearance of one of the patients, whose body marks have not disappeared even after decades. This is far from the only abandoned clinic in the United States, famous for its creepy stories.

Another US clinic

Another abandoned clinic is in Massachusetts. Facts about the Taunton clinic can terrify anyone. A serial killer with more than 30 murders, and in the past also a well-known patient of the same clinic, took the position of a nurse in this institution. According to rumors, satanic rituals were performed with patients in the basement of the hospital. This place, especially the basement, is filled with fear. The people who were there were often anxious.

Australian lunatic asylum

Another crazy house is in Australia. The history of the mental hospital, like most others, is connected with mysticism.

People who visited Beechworth spoke of disappearances and murders. Later, a laboratory was discovered where the body parts of patients were contained in glass jars. They were intended for various kinds of experiments. In 1950 there was a fire, after which all the banks disappeared without a trace. In total, about 9,000 patients died within the walls of the hospital.

Here we are a little and got acquainted with some of the abandoned mental hospitals around the world.

This is not the whole list of scaryclinics on earth. All of them seem creepy to us for one simple reason - there were mentally ill people here, and some of their ghosts still live. It is undesirable to visit such places, but hardly anyone will stop in pursuit of unforgettable adventures.
