At a press conference on July 1, 2009, Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo began the demolition of the Essex County Hospital, also known as Overbrook Asylum, which has been abandoned for years. The former mental hospital, in ruins, has been a destination for teenagers, ghost hunters and photographers. It will become passive park land, and not be developed.

  • What a sin... A historical landmark once again destroyed to make way for a new selfish generation who cares nothing about their past or what their forefathers worked so hard for. Its quiet, untouched and doesnt bring harm to anyone. Once a park its going to attract all of the overweight mothers who pump kids out for an excuse not to go to work and this is what we will have to look forward to.

  • sad that these buildings are gone forever or will be, the architecture of out buildings like these are simply amazing. gonna miss it up there

  • Fkn bastards need to stop demolishing overbrook! !!!

  • Is that creepy laugh really a ghost? I swear they replayed that sound bit over and over at the end just to be extra creepy!

  • @johnnecron go fuck yourself unless you care about the history of these places.

  • People do not understand that over 10,000 patients died there horribly and there are many demonic spirits and other spirits attatched to it. I'm telling you what ever there gonna build over it, the living occupants will regret it. These spirits will get severely angered.

  • @TheSuperMolman Just curious, but what does a lunch lady at the middle school passing out have to do with Overbrook? Are you trying to say that she passed out because of paranormal, etc? I'm a believer, but that seems a bit far outta field.

  • @Beezology To tell you the truth, I havent been by it for a few weeks. I don't really know if they knocked more down or not.

  • @TheSuperMolman what parts got knocked down? is it still explorable? i live upstate ny tryna go down and explore n look for ghosts lol

  • EVERYONE LISTEN!!!! THE ESSEX COUNTY HOSPITAL IS NOT COMPLETELY DESTROYED! I LIVE IN CEDAR GROVE AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY REALLY STARTING TO DEMOLISH THE PLACE NOW UNLIKE BEFORE, WHERE THEY JUST PUT A FEW DENTS IN THE PLACE. BUT EVER SINCE, A FEW WEIRD THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING ON. FOR INSTANCE, TODAY AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, A LUNCH LADY PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR IN THE KITCHEN! THIS STORY IS 100% TRUE AND IM JUST TELLING YOU THIS TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

  • the place that is there now is probibly full of angry spirits

    they will regret that demolition

  • FUCKKKKKKKK. this place is completly knocked down?!?!?!?!
