  • if there ever were ghosts at this place, this woman's annoying loud mouth drove them out of there long ago. If this gasbag ever encountered a spirit, she'd shit her pants.

  • @csmpeoil thats funny

  • thats one haunted hospital i would love to get a tour from

  • Died of a broken arm??

  • @CreedFan62 they didnt have the medical technology to cure infections back then. a broken arm could lead to a severe infection which probably killed the child. so i guess she really should have said "died from an infection as a result of a broken arm" but ohh well :)

  • am i hallucinating or if you pause at 1:55 there is what i would call a clown demon face skull on the wall in front of his face in light shading and a 1911 pistol in heavy shading to far right pointing downward, i see one eye a nose and a mouth and skull it kinda looks shot in the head i see it from 1:52 -55ish eyes playin tricks? across from his chinis the eye then uner that the nose and then the mouth right eye isa missing , i know the (gun) is spray paint but still

  • state hospitals were used for the mentally ill, people that were retarded, and any time someone wanted to put away a person for various reasons. Later on i think and even now they are still used for the mentally ill but beds are scarce because of budget cuts ans they offered half way houses and out patient therapy for the people that need them. But, many fall through the cracks because there is not room for them anywhere.

  • I was just woundering, the lady giving the tour, is she the owner or something, or did she run the hospital??? iam curious because she keeps refering the hospital as hers, she is always saying we as if she has been there running the place since it opened.

  • I grew up in Bartonville Ill and everyone there has a story about the asylum. Almost all of my friends at Limestone High say their mom or dad worked there and yes, they all saw 'something'. In fact, my so called friends used to make me cry, saying they were going to drop me off there. LOL!! creepy!!! 

  • Comment removed

  • you brought the whole family with you when you urban explore lol awesome place !!!

  • anyone else think "uh-oh" when they mentioned limestone?

  • So why are state hospitals still used for this purpose? Psych wards are typically integrated in Department of Corrections since those who typically need a psych ward comitted a crime and if they didn't, this is why we have hospitals with secured psych units. My only thing is State Wards are kind of a waste of money since there are two main spots one could go for psych inpatient treatment

  • Ghosts/spirits don't appear when you want them to especially adult spirits so if you were there as teenagers and you didn't see anything they didn't want to show themselves to you; I've seen my dad in only in 1 picture with my grandson that's it he doesn't show himself but only that 1 time a year ago

  • Sorry if this is a dumb question, but are state hospitals psych wards?

  • @SuperWarking Not really Psych wards are in hospitals State facilities are for people who are committed by the state for a long period of time.

  • I have been in here once before. Its really not creepy at all. I took a lot of pictures on every floor and nothing ever showed up. Then finally we went back to the third floor and said "if anyone is in here could we please take a picture of you?". We took a picture and tons of orbs showed up. And keep in mind we took a picture of the third floor hallway without saying anything, and nothing showed up. It really is an wesome place to visit!

  • the man with the beard looks like my art teacher XD

  • I lived next to this place for years when it was completely closed. We regularly snuck in all the buildings as teens, (they're connected by tunnels) - as well as the 2 drawer morgue. There were critters; squirrels/rabbits/coons in the buildings, but never ghosts... It's now being reused for various purposes, but was completely abandoned for many years, like a small town completely evacuated. Extremely cool, but not haunted. "Demonologist" doing weddings. Right. Teen vandals is what you see.

  • these guys do not now what their doing this video is a peace of crap p.s. dont make a tour video again

  • 09:26 it sais jason and phil pussied out.

  • nearly fell asleep watching this video pile ov shit

  • i love to visit this place since i learning about the paranormal

  • What horror movie was shot here? 

  • at 14:38, top right on the wall behind the lady you can see a shadow like someone walked passed the door and casted a shadow onto the wall.

  • towards the end when she is at the bottom of the stairs in the basement talking about people leaving on the wall thre is a shadow like someone walks by.

  • are tours still going on?

  • 10:52 on the wall there's a smiley face sticking out his tongue  XD

  • we used to sneak in here back when i was still in school -- been inside 5-10 times and never seen anything odd... ever

    they were just trying to sell it so they tried to get "ghost busters" to say that it was haunted to get a good price

  • @cars2024 Me too,

  • She said they wanted to set part of it up for weddings? Who in sam hell would want their wedding there??

  • @83dandelion I would love have my wedding at such a place :D

  • My grandma was in that hospital. They didn't treat their patients good at all. They gave her shock treatments and when my family went to visit her, she was crawling around on all fours. She's still alive today, but that place ruined her. She now acts like a small child. I'm not surprised there are tormented souls there.

  • @Flye92 Oh my gosh, that's horrible..

  • i'm pretty sure the building is near condemned and the cops don't want stupid teens causing a ruccus inside the place and possibly destroying something, it IS a historic landmark to many people after all

  • I would laughed my ass off if the ball was kicked at there heads after they started walking off. Im just saying.lol

  • my grandma work/ was in school at this place

  • u cant go in that building!!! i went up there cause a friend of mine works for coca cola right acroos the street from the hospital, we rode over there just to look at it and the police was right there watching, but he told ud if we wanted to look then park in the back of the building, but the place is closely guarded for some strange reason???????

  • @sixwaise

    The building isn't guarded. The cop must have been there for another reason. I make deliveries to the businesses right behind the building and there's never anyone there.

  • I wonder what it would be like to do LSD in there?

  • What is the ladies name giving the tour?

  • Inserenity75, not completely sure but I would think that some sort of infection could have set in when the arm was broken, depending on the kind of break, like sepsis,

  • Comment removed

  • Why would anyone want to get married in an abandoned mwntal hospital that was notorious for mistreatment of mental patients?

  • My band took photos in the tunnels under the Asylum and on the roof.The check in building out back is creepy too.

  • weddings! wtf thats fucked

  • ok ... i was having a dream 2 years ago and this is the building that was in it.. THIS is the firsttime i ever even seen this building.. creepy

  • @WHOSElineFREAK its a past life then!

  • That was really cool! I want to visit a haunted asylum one day. Oh! You filmed this on my 15th birthday! ^^

  • 92 year old woman? Wow!

  • I live at the bottom of the hill in Bartonville, right behind the Hardees. Sometimes if I'm heading up to the top of the hill, for instance to the Kroger, I'll take Pfeiffer instead of taking Garfield, just so I can go by the Bowen building (the building they're touring in the video).

  • I got my senior pictures taken at that building.

  • Oh, I so want to visit this place. It looks so scary and so cool!

  • Bartonville has for many years been on the "radar" for possible p.a. Interesting video.

  • how do u get thair

  • I Live right near here, by boyfriend drove me passed the building one night and just the presence of the place is insane...but be careful going here because the police watch this place like a hawk, thats why we only drove passed it and didn't stop to check it out.

  • Who can i contact to get a tour? Can anyone direct me? Thanks

  • Look at the graffitti on 9:25 to the lower right side. I think it says:

    "..Jason & Phil...PUSSIED OUT"...Towards the end of this video I heard that the stairs have been blessed because some of the crazy ghosts would leave with the visitors. Pibolar ghosts, Schizophrenic ghosts, Ghosts with schizo-affective personalities...Oh my! >:D

  • i live right next to bartonville :] when i go to my cousins i love goin there in the back yard its really creepy

  • Where is this exactly? I'd like to at least check this place out.

  • you arent missing anything

  • @adammdamann

    Well, still, I think it would be just cool to check out. Not only for how creepy it looks, but I just like old architecture.

  • yeah lol idk if they show it in this vid, but its right in the dead center of town. theres no open fields or anything spooky to see. its interesting but its not worth driving long distances to. are you from around peoria? if so your close to it. im from dunlap so i can get to it in a half hour

  • @adammdamann

    No, I'm from Springfield.

  • ah well if your ever in the area its worth checkin out but i wouldnt drive all the way out to bartonville to get it

  • Naw. Something else I gotta ask: I saw on your channel the vid of that sweet ass Mustang. Why, oh WHY, did you get rid of it? And for what could you have possibly traded that beauty in for?

  • yeah that was my baby for a while. bought it and had it for a while, had full exhaust, short throw shifter, intake etc low budget upgrades. i was at a stop light and i pulled out got t boned by a drunk driver. bent the frame and it was totaled.

  • Aw, man! That sucks BIG donkey balls. I hope you received some sort of compensation out of the louse.

  • @comgeek24

    Bartonville Illinois :)

    Been in there a few times, sometimes i see stuff, sometimes (depending on where i am) alot of activity.

  • @zelzro

    Yeah, I wonder why the tour guide was so adamant about the tourists shutting their cell phones off in the basement. Have you had anything happen to yours while you were there?

  • @comgeek24

    Actually one thing me and my friend found funny. We walked out of this room together, We BOTH heard the word "Pardon me, someone PASSED us both,we both said excuse me. then we both look back and realized only 4 people including us where having the tour. the other 2 people where always ahead of us and the tour guide stayed ahead of us.

  • ive been in there .... Seeings as i live close

    and ive had one follow me ... it looked as if he has a Hat on ... and i kept hearing ur blood ur blood

    it was very odd and Very creepy

    i basement it was really got me tho

    one sec it was Hot the next it was Freezing cold like it was Snowing

  • para normal? right! i dont believe in it at all. im willing to spend a night in this place alone if anyone is willing to bet me on it. if there was a such thing as ghosts people like oj would be screwed...any takers?

  • i agree i think people just scare and trick their self into beliving that. like when she was talking about the doll and the ball thats sounds sooo stupid and fake lol and i would go stay in there too but i live in texas sooo yyaaa =[

  • i have been here too.its a cool old place,they give tours?the only experience we had was in the basements.

  • Thanks for sharing, very informative

  • I like that woman, her voice is very clear and she speaks loud, unlike some tours I've been on.

    Fascinating stuff!

  • I used to live in South Peoria which is only about two miles away and have been thru it many times in the past but now its about gone and whats left is terribly dangerous not too mention if Bart or Peoria County catches you yer goin to JAIL

  • i would be too scared to go in there

  • "Due to a shortage of space in the cottages women patients were housed there for a time"

    "Picture, taken around 1902 shows some of the insane women who were temporarily housed in the Bowen Building in the early 1900's"

    That's the basis for implying that "criminally insane" women were regularly housed in the Bowen building?

    The stretched assertions made on the tour do not match up to the accounts from either Bittersweet Memories nor Asylum Light.

    Please cite the hanging suicide reference.

  • Comment removed

  • It was never implied that they were regularly housed. On every tour I have been on at that place it is stated for a short while out of the book.(and I have been on quite a few tours there) I already told you the hanging came from the community ( I actually contacted the people who gave the tours for this info). Once again, you could have gotten that from my other post that was below but it seems you have a little bit of trouble reading. Here's an idea, contact the people who give the tours.

  • There is enough interesting history about the Bartonville State Hospital to not have to make up stories about guys hanging themselves, etc.

    It's well documented that the Bowen building was used for nurse and admin housing, the second floor was never used for "criminally insane" women. I'd love to tour this place as well, but not if this is the kind of cheap, haunted-house style narration I can expect.

  • A very detailed account of the criminally insane women being housed at the Bowen can be found in the book "Bittersweet Memories" pg. 126.(with Picture) It came from the alpha park library. It was sited from there. Also, pg 184 in the book "Asylum Light" also talks about these women.

    As for the suicide in the attic it is only a told down story from residents in the local area both of the hanging and of seeing someone hanging in the building since its closure.

  • csmpeoil for somebody who is supposed to be so smart and have "credientials" u r obviously not smart enough to know that bartonville doesnt have a trailer park u jackass oh bobzilla that red head ur talkin about happenes to be my best friends wife so u can say shit but u only get mad bcuz the only girl and french kiss ur gonna get is ur mom and the only reasons ur sayin this shit is because u kissed ur mom and she slipped u the tongue

  • Where did they fish these jagoffs giving the tour? The motormouth Bartontucky hick narrating the tour should do those of us interested in the site a favor and let someone with credentials do the tour.

    Go back to the trailer park......

  • Just wanted to let everyone know that bobzilla112673 WAS a volunteer at the asylum that had to be fired. If anyone here is disappointed for not being able to go in, you can thank him because he is one of the reasons. Oh, and if anyone has a doubt about the history, you can always go verify everything at the library in Bartonville for yourself. Just a little post because I believe that shitty people should have their own shit shoved back in their face.

  • who the fuck would get married in there?

  • Is This Buildin Torn Down Yet?

  • great video! scary  place!

  • i have always wanted to go in there.....

    i drove past there just yesterday and there were a group of ppl on the steps....

  • everytime i go past that place, i feel like someones watching me. good vid, though

  • can you please give me an address or intersection so I can get there

  • Have you ever heard of such a thing as research? Work it out yourself. Stop asking others to do it for you.

  • in the mid 80s i hung out there and went through most if not all the buildings. they tor alot of buildings down 25 years later. i will never forget that place. creeped me out a few times.

  • I went past here a few weeks ago, and I didn't even know what it was at first, but it gave me a really weird vibe.

  • Amazing. I want a tour so bad.

  • this might piss some people off and i dont want to steel your fire here... but! i am a peoria resident and have worked many times right next to this building. so ive been in all the places seen in video. i have a few sets of pics. from when i took both my chilldren through at almost 12 midnight. some pics have "an event" so i would love to get these into your hands. i was able to get into this building back in 97-01 and it was a much spookier place then.
