Thanks for the reply! God knows what it was – I seriously mean that. Was pretty bad experience if I’m honest!!

Zombies would have been cool though

When you speak of self preservation, what do you mean? danger to yourself, legal punishment if caught trespassing? What do you think it was? a security guard? something paranormal? zombies?

Id seriously be interested to know what was/is on your mind about what was coming. I thought you were going to say it was a cat/fox or something at the end but that doesn’t explain the doors.

This seems like a really fun thing to do, but id need to be in a group of 3-4 at least I think

Keep it up..

But as far as I know, very few people have been in because of shit hot security and massive amounts of boarding – good job!!

Exploring those kind of sites alone is more intense and sometimes a little bit scary. But it lets your senses stay alert every time you hear a strange sound.

With more people you feel more secure and for sure it is but when i explore a site on my own and leave it with good photos and without getting harmed then this was a great and intense experience that i wouldn´t want to miss

One of the self preservation techniques I’ve found useful in urban exploration is to know what noises mean in respects to time delay. All the doors in this abandonment are heavy fire doors, they take an average of 10 second to close which means if you here one close, whatever came through it has 10 seconds head start on you They are also double latching which means they cannot be opened without significant force, the sound of the latch is very distinct too, wind alone cannot open these.

You comment made me laugh, you heard a noise then went hunting for what made it – thats brave, you were the cats… In this asylum, I was mouse

I’ve got 2 x 8gb Sandisk CF Extreme III’s specially to fill up on the next mission – I really need to get awesome at post processing automation

One time as i was exploring a sanatorium in Germany – Beelitz i had a similar experience. But we were 2 guys. You heard doors slam again and again. First we thought that there must be someone there. But after examination the rooms we determinded that it was just the wind that was opening and closing the doors. Pretty scary

Thx for sharing this great story with us and stay healthy for further explorations…

Great stuff also, the first one hitting this asylum! That’s so cool!

Great shots as well, i really like the 2nd the 4th and the last, those are just stunning mate!

Looking forward to your next exploration in this asylum!

The asylum is fantastic inside, lots of period features against a modern but derelict backdrop

I’m glad my pain and stress make good reading lolz

Thanks
