Camarillo State Hospital Unit Walkthrough

A videotaped walthrough of Unit 28 at what was once Camarillo State Hospital. Shot August 6, 2006. One of the few areas as yet not renovated by the Calstate which took over the grounds. In the last decades of CSH U28 was a co-ed Admissions Unit

You need to be careful of the restless ones.

That place has had too much inhumanity happen to be blessed/cleansed. People need to say their peace and burn it to the ground. Take caution paranormal investigators...Their energy is strong enough to follow you out of the building.

Shoulda seen the place right after the state left and before CSU took over.....going here to explore was like venturing into the belly of a great sleeping beast.....and at night it was quite spooky. The heating system was acting up (or something like that) and some of the sounds nearly made me jump out of my skin!!

@stush61 you must have been there on 28 when i was in psych tech school in 85. I worked at Cam from 85-89. I was on Unit 41 and then Unit 86.

@darlene1029 actually darlene. shock treatment or ECT did not go out in the 40's. While I worked there in the 80's I witnessed an episode of ECT. It was on a man who was severely depressed. So depressed that he was in a catatonic state. After the shock treatment he actually became "normal" again. He conversed with patients and staff. He was very bright. He did well and was getting "better". Unfortunately shock treatment doesn't always last and he relapsed. ECT is actually still done.

thanks for taking me back to unit 28. I haven't been there since 1985. I was a psychiatric technician at Cam State and when I was in school I trained on unit 28. Not my favorite place. I liked the developmental disabled side of the facility better. People were very sick. I'm sure not everyone that was a patient there was in the right place. however, so many now are homeless on the streets with no treatment or place to sleep. There were good Staff at Cam State. Not all, but many were.

@travelstarz any idea how to get our medical records now that it is closed? please let me know. thanks

[caliguy2952]

@SepherStar you didn't have to be afraid of the patients just the staff enforcing God knows what types of abuse on the patients, still wish I could sue, it's no joke.

@TheMymaJane I was a patient here in the 90s and need to know how to get my medical records... any suggestions? If i had my choice, the university wouldn't have been built there for safety reasons due to the severity of this place.

@darlene1029 LOBOTOMIES AND SHOCK TREATMENT DID NOT GET REMOVED FROM TREATMENTS IN THE 40s I WAS A PATIENT IN THE 70s AND RECIEVED THIS TYPE OF TREATMENTS. I CAN ANSWER ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO ASK ABOUT THIS HOSPITAL'S PREVIOUS TREATMENTS!!! they tried shutting me up by being tranquilized.

[caliguy2952]

@adhndrsn I know from personal experience about the shock therapy, the outstanding restraints from not wanting to take their meds, docs and nurses had their turns on force feeding their patients, knocking them around, i have also seen the crematorium and this is true, you cannot call me a liar or misguided on this due to the fact that I WAS A PATIENT HERE!!! If I am so misguided, why is it that the last 20+ years I have nightmares about my past at Camarillo State Hospital.I was lucky I got out

[caliguy2952]

after such a long time and reading from other posting about a life i won't ever forget,being a former patient n camarillo don't really like not having personal answers ti how people can talk about other people's lives and hide behind the damn truth. It has been sometime ago that I have found one person that was doing a documentary or something about the history of my life, and that person couldn't even be nice enough to show me her pic, now I'm wondering if they are just out for their own fun.

Gives Me The Chills Just Looking At This. Ive been In Here So Many Times, And I Always Feel Like Somethings Going To Pop Up. ts A Very Eerie Place To Be And Lots Of Negative Energy..It Smells In There, And Once You Go In, Some Of The Things You See Will Never Leave Your Mind. Very Scary. And If You Plan On Going There, I Would Reccomend Going During The Weekend When There Arent Many People There. If You Are Seen by A Gaurd , They Will Call the Police. But yet the doors are unlocked.
