Exploring Central Islip Psychiatric Center/ Former NYIT College! Explore Deez Nuts 2022-11-22 | First off, let me say that I am very thankful that I got the opportunity to explore this place before it was too late. I started exploring this place in early 2020, that was late but not too late. I did miss seeing the "Sunburst" buildings and of course the Power Plant that was demolished in 2006. In 2022, they started construction and sealed up all the tunnels of the remaining buildings. The main tunnel lines have been completely sealed up and even the small tunnels that lead into the buildings are completely sealed. Central Islip Psychiatric Center opened up in 1889 but at that time, it was used to hold the sick from NYC, along with Pilgrim, Kings, and Edgewood (All Psychiatric Centers later on). In 1896, the State bought this property, and it was named "Manhattan State Hospital", and then in 1905, it then became Central Islip State Hospital. Then in 1970, it got the title of Central Islip Psychiatric Center, which was the 2nd largest in the nation. This facility was over 500 acres and it had everything a psychiatric center would need. CI had just under 10,000 patients, and just under 3,000 workers. But in the early 1960's, NYS started to go away with psychiatric centers and wanted to make them mental health centers (Just a nicer was to say Psychiatric Center in my eyes but...). Then in the early 1970's there was a major decline in State institution workers because the state wanted to cut back and save money. Of course, this led to buildings closing (Around 15 buildings) and transferred those patients to nearby psychiatric centers. In 1975, CIPC started to close with the population decreasing very rapidly. in 1973 there were around 3,000 patients and then in 1980, there was just over 2,000. Around 50 buildings were sitting empty and abandoned, and some were in the process of being demolished or already demolished. Then in 1984, NYIT (New York Institute of Technology) looked into purchasing this land and went through with it. NYIT then purchased the remaining buildings and turned it into a fully functional campus. It's creepy to think of these college students attending classes where psychiatric patients were held. The college didn't do so well in this location, and as a result, they started selling buildings around 1995. Around this time, land was bought and turned into apartments, academic fields, and also the Long Island Ducks Stadium was built on the land. Some buildings being demolished and turned into small communities, and other were turned into commercial use. There were still some that remained, which are the ones in this video. Then in early 2021, the land was sold, and the process of demolition/ renovation was soon to begin. In late 2022, the buildings have been cleaned out and the tunnels have been sealed. They started digging up all the grounds and even digging into the tunnels, which was a crazy sight. The drone shot in the beginning of this video is not what it looks like anymore. I am thankful for the opportunity to see these abandoned buildings with power on, and then get to see them completely gutted, it's a creepy feeling, especially when trying to enter the tunnels, just to see them sealed off. This project is over $100 million and the land that is being worked on is surrounded by a fence with security 24/7. There are still a few small buildings/ homes that being left abandoned for now...Sad to see this place go, another psychiatric center gone...Follow me on Insta: instagram.com/thehopsinfan#longisland #explorepage #climbing #urbex #explore #urbanexploring #urbanexploration #gotrespassing #centralislippsychiatriccenter #centralislip #abandoned #abandonedplaces
Exploring Tunnels Underneath a Long Island High School Explore Deez Nuts 2024-08-25 | I can't really say much about this video. Other than I got legal access to these tunnels...Still a question if there is/was a bomb shelter underneath the football field but we will never know...Enjoy!
Exploring Computer Associates on Long Island Explore Deez Nuts 2024-06-20 | This huge facility was known as "Computer Associates" and this was the main headquarters... located in Islandia, New York. CA was an American multinational enterprise software developer which was in use from the 1970's to 2018. CA was the world largest software corporation. When looking at older pictures of this place or exploring some rooms, it just seemed so strange and out of place. But this facility has such complex systems and software systems that we have no idea about, unless you know some things about IBM. Aside from the computer advances in this facility, the center of this building was the best part of it all... looking up in the center, seeing everything so symmetrical all the way to the top, the cool glass dome. Each floor, color coordinated, from the lower level to the 6th floor. Some more history about this facility, CA underwent an accounting scandal in the 2000's which sent many higher-ups to jail... CA was located in Switzerland, NYC, and of course it's HQ which was on Long Island. In the early part of 2024, this facility was completely demolished, all 70 acres of it. CA moved its HQ to NYC in 2014 which then resulted in this facility eventually becoming vacant. CA was purchased for $165M in late 2021, then sat vacant till early 2024, until it was completely leveled. Some more cool history about this place... it had its own helipad, day care, pond, baseball field, underground basketball court and tennis courts. This huge piece of dirt will eventually be warehouses, I assume. I knew about this place for about 2 years prior but never made the attempt to explore until it was under construction, which made it real easy. I wish I was the outer wings of this facility but I'm thankful to see the heart, the center, the most beautiful part. And also seeing how they demolished this, cutting out clean chunks of the building that can be seen from the drone... that amazes me also! There are many buildings like this on Long Island, because the need for office buildings have decreased tremendously after the pandemic. I hope you enjoy the last footage ever of this place. This was located right off the 495, next to Jakes 58 Hotel and Casino.
Exploring Hudson River Psychiatric Center Explore Deez Nuts 2024-04-05 | In 1871, this beautiful State Hospital opened its doors (explains why there are literally no floors to walk on). This Victorian Gothic style is very unique and sure a nice place to visit. The main building (The Kirkbride) has now been renovated on the property. During its early stages of being built, it housed patients even though the whole building process wasn't finished. Construction was on going for the new 20+ years!Just like all the other psychiatric centers, the need for this facility decreased and resulted into its doors closing in 2003. Most of the remains of these buildings are just the skeleton due to how old it is. It's crazy how it didn't just collapse, even after parts of this place was set on fire!One of the coolest buildings that I was NOT able to see in time was The Cheney Building...There's so much history in this psychiatric center and my personal favorite part is the stained glass that is still intact inside!
Exploring Active University Tunnels and Roof Explore Deez Nuts 2024-02-27 | Welp, this is my 2nd time posting this video, due to this University coming to me and wanting me to take it down. I said "OkAy", but there's nothing wrong with what I did here... and they know it. This huge University has some really nice views, from the dorms and of course from the roof. These high-rise dorms hold about 300 students in each one. There are actually tunnels that run from each dorm, but locked up and secured, students can't access them, and it's only used for maintenance. Another fun fact, the matrix attacked my laptop, and I actually lost all the files from this exploration, BUT, I had the final video in a different location hahaha. Hope you guys enjoy, thank you again for the support!Do NOT attempt to access these tunnels or roof, they are very secure and locked. And now they are highly watched, I wouldn't be surprised if they had cameras and sensors in the tunnels now...#longisland #urbanexploration #urbex #university
Exploring Secret NYIT TBLS Building (Found Tunnel) Explore Deez Nuts 2024-01-30 | Central Islip Psychiatric Center and then NYIT, we know how that went from this video that I previously posted. This video was from the main NYIT campus, which used to be CIPC. But this video is a little different, this is strictly NYIT property and not a part of CIPC. CIPC which is no longer a thing anymore, other than: The Rec Center, the church, the library, and this building from this video. The Rec Center video can be found here: youtu.be/8OB1Jdw4TR4?si=AR311_2lehAVSEA_The main CIPC/NYIT video can be found here: youtu.be/AFTYM1FYhK0?si=9NFLw6BPShYSjBPFThese buildings from this video still have power, and it's pretty cool that I found a tunnel that leads to other buildings. BE CAREFUL because there is a tunnel that leads to a building that has a few cameras pointed towards the tunnel exit. Arlo cams to be precise haha. This building used to be a dorm for NYIT, and the houses were for workers and/or professors. After some time, I've seen this building get vandalized a ton and also more patrol cars in the area. I'm glad that I got to see this before everyone else because now I bet it's all trashed. Thanks for watching. #explore #urbex #urbanexploration #longisland #abandoned #abandonedplaces #exploring Follow me on:Insta: instagram.com/thehopsinfanX: twitter.com/thehopsinfanReddit: reddit.com/user/thehopsinfan/?rdt=64828
Exploring Huge Abandoned Hotel in the Catskills Explore Deez Nuts 2024-01-16 | Friar Tick Inn, a very disappointing hotel but it sure was a huge hotel! It had everything from a hair salon to a weight room to multiple pools (indoor and outdoor). If you have approximately $12M, you can purchase this "beautiful" facility! This 200-acre resort which opened its doors around the 1970's, closed its doors in 2010 after filing for bankruptcy (wow shocker). When walking through the place, you can see how mediocre the rooms were and also while looking at some safety procedures, it sure wasn't up to code. For example, the fire sprinklers that were located in the kitchen were installed incorrectly... I wonder how they passed a final inspection with that... The one good feature about this hotel was its medieval look, which can be seen from the cover photo of this video. This property IS watched and whoever is watching, lives on the property, and also there is a small community behind this hotel which residents pass through daily. Definitely a cool little spot to visit while taking a trip to the Catskills...
Exploring the Infamous Building 25 Explore Deez Nuts 2023-10-18 | This video might have the police contact me, but I will do a video about what happens, if anything. BUT if you are from Long Island, you should know this building by the outside, the layout and of course the name. I have shown too much already. Don't ask how I got inside, don't attempt this either or you will be arrested on the spot. So just enjoy this little glimpse of inside building 25...Not putting my socials on this video haha#longisland #urbex #abandoned #abandonedplaces #abandonedlongisland
Exploring Abandoned Childrens Psychiatric Center Explore Deez Nuts 2023-09-25 | So funny story about this place... I didn't know about this exact location until I saw it away from the place that I was planning to explore. The property was half active and I was trying to figure out where to park and then I found THIS location. I should have known about this place, but I realized once I saw this specific hallway with the green gate door. I have already said too much in this video, but a show was filmed here a few years ago. I think they filmed it from the outside, not too sure if they did some recording on the inside. But anyways, finding a padded room was really cool! #urbex #exploringtheworld #abandoned #abandonedplaces Follow me on:Insta: instagram.com/thehopsinfanReddit: reddit.com/u/hopsinfan999/s/oS06PxoQA5X: https://x.com/thehopsinfan?t=qn_6BQuwQjM2PbT1m2iYQw&s=09
Exploring Another Steam Tunnel System on Long Island (Under Active University) Explore Deez Nuts 2023-09-07 | In my last video, that steam tunnel system was clean and very spacious! Very well maintained and used daily. Now for today's video, this tunnel system is very different, in a bad way... Insulation falling off the pipes, lights and circuits not working correctly, pipes leaking boiling water... This is not a walk in the park, but I've done these tunnels for a few years now and I decided to make a full video of it. Entering one building and passing a few on my journey, and then taking a special way out. Again, there's not much more that I can say... Enjoy.Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan#tunnel #underground #undergroundtunnel #urbex #longisland
Exploring the Largest Steam Tunnel System on Long Island Explore Deez Nuts 2023-08-21 | There's not much that I can say because I need to keep this place classified but this tunnel system is located under an active university. These tunnels are the cleanest and biggest on the Island. Getting in was very difficult but imagine taking "no" as an answer. HA.

Exploring Proctors Palace Theatre Explore Deez Nuts 2023-05-15 | Proctors Palace Theatre located in Newark, New Jersey is a dual theatre, on top of each other. By the time I explored this place, the lower and larger theatre is mainly collapsed and no seats on the upper level, and also very dark. I didn't know much about this and I didn't even know that there were 2 theatres! So after climbing the stairs, I came across the theatre that was well lit and more intact! These 2 theatres combined could hold over 4,000 people! Proctors Palace opened its doors in late 1915. This twin theatre is a shocking 10 story building and in the main lobby, has 40 foot ceilings, that welcome the attendees to this beautiful place. Of course the lower theatre was bigger, about 2x bigger than the other (2x the seat capacity too). On May 14th, 1929, Mr. Proctor sold this facility due to his health becoming an issue, and unfortunately passed away a few months later. Once this facility was sold, it was renamed to "RKO Proctor's Theatre". Now, time to talk about the decline of this place... in 1931, there were many complaints about poor visibily from the higher seats and also the demand was low. The main theatre started to show actual movies and turn into more of a movie theatre that we know of today. Around 1950's, they installed new and updated surround sound and higher picture/ screen quality. The upper and smaller theatre wasn't used as much as the main one of course, but when it was used, it showed foreign films. On November 21st, 1966, the Theatre closed and there were a few attempts to keep it in use but unfortunately it did not work. In 1967, Newark became a total mess which is the same now but that is my opinion but you'll see for yourself if you visit Newark... The theater officially closed in 1968. Fun fact, this facility was used by Essex County College while the college campus was under renovation... But now sits abandoned and hidden in plain sight.#explore #exploring #urbex #urbanexploration #abandoned #abandonedplaces #newjersey Follow me on:Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfanTwitter: twitter.com/thehopsinfanThank you instagram.com/lostboyforev3r for bringing this place to my attention!
Exploring Middletown Psychiatric Center Explore Deez Nuts 2023-03-07 | Middletown Psychiatric Center opened its doors in 1874, and this psychiatric center was known for its use of purely homeopathic treatment for mental disorders. When its doors opened, there was only about 100 patients. This was something used that no other psychiatric center offered. In my eyes, this psychiatric center was less harsh than others I have explored and learned about. MPC focused on the regulation of diet and regimen, habit training, cleanliness, kindness, proper education diversion. Also offered occupational therapy, psychotherapy, hydrotherapy. Patients at MPC would be invited to recreational and art related activities on a daily basis. MPC even had a baseball club that was created in 1888. In the early 1900's, there were around 100 buildings in the property, and around the 1950's, it reached its peak and the total amount of patients were around 4,000. Of course, as times got closer to the 2000's, psychiatric center populations were declining and MPC fell into that group. In 2006, the facility closed down. The property was bought, and some buildings were repurposed and saved for educational purposes. Most of the remaining buildings in use are now a part of a college and academy for the arts. The remaining abandoned buildings are currently under construction because the town wants to make these buildings useful for the community (hence why the first building was so clean and had construction lights). The most interesting part of exploring this place was to see the spiral staircase that was all gated off, so no patients could jump to their death. I personally just wanted to see that haha. But this place is under construction so if you get caught, they will charge you with more, just putting it out there.

Climbing New Water Tower in Farmingdale Explore Deez Nuts 2023-02-02 | First off, let me say that I'm sorry to inform you but my last video (Exploring Hofstra) had to be taken down... They might be suing me over that video...Anyways, in today's video, I am climbing the newly built Farmingdale Water Tower (on Long Island), which is built next to the exisiting and old one, which will be scrapped soon. They built this new WT because it was cheaper to build a new one, rather than clean up and repair the old one. They are scrapping the old one and will probably make so much money from that haha. I waited till the garage doors were put in and then I'd put out this video. It's a very unique looking water tower and of course the view from on top is amazing. Hope ya'll enjoy.

Exploring The Abandoned St. Pauls All Boys School Explore Deez Nuts 2022-12-19 | St. Paul's All Boys School was built in 1879. In this massive facility there were 500 rooms, a library, dining hall, a huge chapel which is the best part of this place, a lecture hall, a gymnasium (which is still in use), a chem lab, and some parts of this building had dorms for the students and professors. This building also has a clock tower which is a beautiful sight (We climbed the inside of it). The architecture and design of this building is beyond words, such detail around every corner, especially seeing the perfect stained glass in the chapel, just amazing. Of course, everything has to come to an end, and that started with the enrollment declining and the bishop filed for bankruptcy. St. Paul's closed down in 1991, and in 2004, the town agreed on making the surrounding areas into a park and built sporting fields. In 2019, the town built a fence around this massive facility and has been watched HEAVILY by town police. Police have this place on lock, and if you are seen entering or inside, you WILL be arrested on the spot. This town doesn't play when it comes to exploring. The town is still trying to figure out what to do with this very historic building. Some people want this demolished; some people want this turned into a recreational center, some people want apartments, but as of right now, this facility sits abandoned, with its beautiful architecture.By the way, THANK YOU guys for getting me to 500 subs! It means a lot and I appreciate the support!Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan/?hl=en#longisland #explorepage #climbing #urbex #explore #urbanexploring #urbanexploration #gotrespassing #gardencity
Exploring an Abandoned NYIT Recreation Center Explore Deez Nuts 2022-11-08 | In this video today, we are exploring a recreation center at a former college. On this property, there are many buildings that used to be NYIT (New York Institute of Technology). There is more I can say about this property, but I have a whole video coming out soon of everything. That video will cover everything about what those buildings used to be before it was NYIT, and some secret's underground ;)I can't put that video out just yet... But stay tuned for it! It's definitely worth it. But aside from promoting my future video haha, let me talk about this one more.This building we are exploring, has a:-Auditorium-Pool-Weight Room-Pool Hall-Bowling Alley-Gymnasium-Chem Lab-CafeteriaI should have explored this place when the power was still on, but I was busy exploring the surrounding buildings. NYIT Closed down in 2017, and since then, just sat abandoned. In total, there is around 100 acres of land. But again, I will explain more of this place in an upcoming video...Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfanThank you to my special guest too!#longisland #explorepage #climbing #urbex #explore #urbanexploring #urbanexploration #gotrespassing #centralislippsychiatriccenter #centralislip #abandoned #abandonedplaces
Climbing the Widest Tower on Long Island Explore Deez Nuts 2022-10-24 | A few months ago, I climbed the tallest tower on Long Island, the link can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=Sg3ZaqXm1zwBut now, I climbed the widest tower on Long Island. This tower is definitely known and is very visible from certain parts of the Island. It's pretty funny, when driving in Farmingdale, you can see this tower and also a new water tower that is being built, which now I climbed both. That video will come out when it is finished ;)We climbed this tower for sunrise. The best time to climb anything is for sunrise, sunsets get a little tricky because you are more visible while climbing. This tower is a TANK, so much room to walk around and you can see so much from up here. NYC, RMB, and a bunch of water towers of course haha. Hope you enjoyed!Follow me on Insta: instagram.com/thehopsinfanSpecial Guest: instagram.com/rexploring13#longisland #explorepage #climbing #urbex #explore #urbanexploring #urbanexploration #gotrespassing #oldbethpage
Exploring an Abandoned Fire Marshal Training Academy/ College Explore Deez Nuts 2022-10-10 | I came across this place a few times within the past year. I would drive by and wonder what these buildings were. The one building seemed like a psychiatric center, due to this building being symmetrical in every way possible. All psychiatric centers have a very similar layout, but this building was a Fire Marshal Training Academy, but there were also some medical supplies. These 2 buildings were used for the same purpose, but the smaller one has a sign on the main doors that says "Veeb". This particular building was a Nassau County School of Practical Nursing. This college offers post-secondary education with multiple degree options. To my knowledge, the first building we explored was a Fire Marshal Office but also did Fire Marshal Training. And the 2nd building was the College, Veeb. Which we found some small tunnels that ran back into the land. There is a big medical center on the property also, which probably used to be connected to these buildings. There is also a powerplant and a farmhouse located on the property, so I'm pretty sure that all these buildings used to be used all for the same purpose, that College.Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan
Exploring The Abandoned Grand Hotel in Niagara Falls (I Fell into a Missing Step...) Explore Deez Nuts 2022-09-13 | Sorry for the delay... I'm back...I hope you guys enjoy me falling through a step in this hotel haha. I didn't know much about this hotel until I researched about it. This hotel was built around the 1920's, and stands 12 stories tall.The inside in pretty gutted and everything was cleaned out, due to the hotel trying to re-open, but that hasn't been the case these past few years. It sure is a nice view during the day if you can get onto the roof, you can see the mist from the Falls! Hope ya'll enjoy.Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan
Exploring an Abandoned National Wholesale Liquidators (West Babylon Location) Explore Deez Nuts 2022-07-25 | This National Wholesale Liquidators is completely gutted, and nothing is really inside, the power is still on though which is cool. This place, which is located in the Great South Bay Shopping Center, opened its doors in 1957. I unfortunately cannot find much history and information about this location, but National Wholesale Liquidators was a Brooklyn based company which expanded throughout Long Island. There were also in the surrounding states. This store is more like a Marshall's but cheaper and less quality haha. When about 50 NWL stores were up and running, they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2008. They were forced to close down about 3/4 of their stores. The company again filed for bankruptcy in late 2018, for the other locations that were still active. This action then caused the rest of the NWL stores to shut down. After this was settled, a few former managers purchased the name/ property and opened up only 3 NWL stores. One is located in Brooklyn, the other is in Philadelphia, and the last one is in Massapequa. The location in Massapequa opened its doors in 2019.
Kings Park Psychiatric Center Comprehensive Tunnel Tour, Bldg 7 to Bldg 136! Explore Deez Nuts 2022-06-20 | Before I say anything else, huge thank you @braccoz for making this possible! KPPC has been one of our huge playgrounds for years! We have become very familiar with all the buildings and tunnel systems. I can't speak for him, but this place was my first introduction into urbex and I met many friends in the process of exploring KPPC and online, because of KPPC. Let me start off from the beginning though. Kings Park Psychiatric Center (KPPC) was a state owned psychiatric center which was active from 1885 to 1996. But not all the buildings closed by 1996. For example, Building #1 was the last to close, which closed in 2012. That building can be seen with old style cameras on the outside, and a tunnel in the basement, which has been sealed around 1997. After the closure, many patients were transferred to Pilgrim Psychiatric Center (PPC), which is still active to this day. But some patients were also just released into the world, not knowing where to go or what to do, they would stay in the abandoned buildings in KPPC. The reason KPPC closed down was due to overcrowding. The Psychiatric Center was on one side of Indian Head Road and on the other side was the Kings Park Hospital. The Kings Park Hospital side is known as "Park Side". KPPC has everything that you could imagine, a railroad, a farmhouse, power plant, patient houses, etc. The most familiar building in KPPC is Building 93, which is 13 stories tall, the most violent patients were held at the top. And as this building closed down, it closed from top to bottom. Half of the upper floors would be abandoned but the lower half would still be in use, until it fully closed down. KPPC was well known for its medical techniques, lobotomies and electroshock therapy. Knowing these techniques, we all know that some people didn't make it out alive. Building 7 is where the morgue is located. Around 1956, medicine became popular which lessened the need for patients to be in psychiatric centers, hence the decrease in KPPC, on top of the overcrowding issue. OMH, Office of Mental Health decided to close Kings around the 1990's, and from there, building by building closed down. There were over 100 buildings on the property and some were demolished afterwards. To this day, they are demolishing more and trying to figure out what to do with the remaining buildings. Let me break down a few buildings for you guys:Building 93 - The MAIN building that was used to hold patients. Build in 1939, stood 13 stories tall. (The most visited building)Building 21 & 22 - Symmetrical buildings, side by side, separated by Building 7, which was also symmetrical, these 3 buildings together were symmetrical in every way possible. These 2 buildings, built in 1957. Building 21 held patients while Building 22 was used for records.Building 7 - The morgue, medical and surgical building. (To this day, there is still an operating table inside, with very few medical equipment) This building was connected to building 21 and 22 via a breezeway. On top of building 7 used to be a Cube, they demolished it a few years back. The Cube could have been seen from many places. Building 41, 42, & 43 - Also known as, The Quads. Personally my favorite place to hang out and explore. These 3 buildings are symmetrical in every way possible again. (Psychiatric Center's always were in a symmetrical shape) These buildings held patients, you can still see the dividers inside the rooms, at the end of the hall. This building has a very nice view of 93 and has a tunnel going under the road, which leads into the powerplant.Building 1 - The LAST building to close down in KPPC, in 2012. This was a reception building which was built around the 1930's.Building 15 - Known as the violent ward, where the MOST violent patients were held. There is NO tunnel in this building, which is different because every building on the property is connected via tunnels! This was built in 1940.Building 5 - The lock shop. Another one of my favorite buildings because there is a tunnel entrance in the woods next to the building. Fun fact, the State Police saw my 2 videos about it and resulted in putting a huge boulder on top of the tunnel, sealing it. Building 29 - The power plant, built in 1967.These are just a few of the buildings at KPPC, I can only write 5,000 words so that's all I will include haha. Park side was eventually turned into Nissequogue River State Park, where you have to pay in the summer to enter. But across the road where Building 93 is, you are free to roam around. One of the most recent buildings that was demolished was the Childrens Ward, which was definitely the most creepiest building on the property. 2 cool sites that you should also look into is, the water tower and the cemetery, I will leave that for you guys to find ;) A lot of my beginning videos on my channel is from KPPC, go check it out!I hope you guy's enjoyed the video and some history of KPPC and KPSH.Thank you KPPC for the past 5 years of fun!
Free Climbing Water Tower on Long Island Explore Deez Nuts 2022-05-17 | Twin Abandoned Water Towers located in a New York State Park.

Exploring NYC Subway Tunnels Explore Deez Nuts 2022-05-02 | There are many abandoned subway stations under NYC, and of course lay ups are always nice to come across. Not much to say here but welcome to the underground...
Exploring The Lost Bowling Alley at Farmingdale State College Explore Deez Nuts 2022-04-25 | UPDATE** This place has unfortunately been demolished :(**Before I get into this video, check out Braccoz's video because his was first!Link: youtube.com/watch?v=bGSkz2CoAM8&t=49sMy wingman to a bunch of these adventures. Well, I'm more of his wingman to be honest here. Anyways, this bowling alley is hidden, again in plain sight. Hundreds of people walk over this on a daily basis, but again, no one knows what's underground. Follow me on Insta: instagram.com/thehopsinfanBraccoz Insta: instagram.com/braccoz
Droning Over the Vessel Explore Deez Nuts 2022-04-11 | The Vessel, in Huson Yards, is a pretty well-known location, not just for its beauty, but unfortunately for its tragedies... This attraction used to be fully open, where people could walk up 8 level, the equivalent of 16 floors, but the past few years, people have committed suicide off this structure. And as of now, 2/20/22, you can only walk on the base. It is a cool sight from the base. You are NOT allowed to drone over this structure, but here I am doing it. I love the different perspectives in life, enjoy this one!
Welcome to Niagara Falls (US Side) Explore Deez Nuts 2022-03-28 | No urbex today, just admiring the endless flow of water. The City of Niagara is all run down, perfect for urbex to be honest, but it's strange how Niagara Falls is such a huge attraction but the city around it is non existing. Around 620ft waterfall, you can just hear and see the force of this water. The history of Niagara Falls is amazing, I wish I could have seen it from the Canada side but, we can thank... some virus.
Back to Exploring the Active Fallout Shelter Explore Deez Nuts 2022-03-21 | Deciding to return to this spot. The first video can be found here:youtube.com/watch?v=Y4yuif5aULoBut I felt the need to take a deeper look, so I returned. Early 2019, a few months after the first visit. It's kind of funny how this spot is literally posted on the side of the road, but no one thinks anything of it. I took a deeper look in a basement and found more strange empty rooms, below an active facility, is a whole abandoned world.Follow me on Insta: instagram.com/thehopsinfan/?hl=en
Back to Exploring the Abandoned University (With power, through Tunnels) Explore Deez Nuts 2022-03-01 | Another day underground, exploring this abandoned university. Our first video was us getting familiar with the tunnel system, and in this video, we explore a few other buildings. Power on, alarms on, security active, always have to be careful of any open window. Exploring at night with red lights makes it more interesting, so enjoy.Follow me on Insta: instagram.com/thehopsinfan
Exploring Abandoned Hotel (Heard someone inside...) Explore Deez Nuts 2022-02-15 | Passing this hotel... saw a cop just sitting in the vacant lot. Decided to use my eyes in the sky, my drone. I was hovering, watching this cop do his rounds, as I was making my way to the back. Once I was close enough but also still hidden, it was a waiting game. The moment the cop left, we made our way in, knowing cops do rounds every hour, we had to be very careful. In this video, we did hear someone else above us, squatter, other explore, a cop? I don't know who it was, but what I do know is, we passed many doors on that floor and section where we heard movement. This place has many clean and livable rooms, and of course behind any closed door, could be someone living there. We decided to not check out the noise but instead find a way out. We had to use an EE, but it's whatever, rather not run into any problems when exploring haha. Enjoy!Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan
Exploring Jones Beach Theater (Found Underground Tunnel) Explore Deez Nuts 2022-02-01 | First off, let me thank Covid, for clearing out this theatre ;)Jones Beach Theatre, but the official name is Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater. This is a big and well-known theatre; PNC Bank Arts Center is the other big theatre in the Tri State Area. Jones Beach Theatre opened in 1952 and had a capacity of 8,000 people. In the early 1990's, this theatre underwent a huge renovation which added another level of seating, making the capacity increase to just under 12,000 people! I guess that wasn't good enough for everyone... so a few years later, they did MORE renovations and increased the capacity to 15,000 people! This theatre has a whole section for seating and snack stands, and of course the section where the stage is. There is actually a tunnel underwater from under the seats to under the stage. We explored the stage and what was around it, under it, and above it...
Exploring Secret School at Mansfield (With Power) Explore Deez Nuts 2022-01-20 | Before the University of Connecticut, there was a previous school that was built, Mansfield Training School. This school was 350 acres and was purposely made to treat people with mental disorders. Aside from the school, there were buildings that housed residents who have been suffering from mental illnesses. With just under 2,000 patients, and about 50 buildings surrounding the area. Looking back at some of my previous videos, i cover psychiatric centers, sanatoriums, mental hospitals, and it's crazy to think... this is really what people believed in. This was believed heavily, which resulted in MANY patients being sent to these wards. Overcrowding, poor conditions, little to no care, heavily relied on drugs... And of course, as we get closer to a "Better World", they started to close these facilities down, fast! In 1993, Mansfield Training School closed it's doors, and these patients were sent to other psychiatric centers to be treated. Mansfield may have closed their doors but, some of those buildings became part of UConn, which we all know. These buildings are now UConn's Depot Campus. A little bit of history above, but this place I explored in the video, is kind of hidden, and used to this day. I've seen a few pictures of this auditorium, but not many...Enjoy!Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan
Exploring an Abandoned Sanatorium Explore Deez Nuts 2021-12-13 | The term Sanatorium, is a medical facility for illnesses, mainly for tuberculosis during the late nineteenth center. The first Sanatorium in the US was built in the early 20th century, in North Carolina. There were actually a few built there before anywhere else in the States. When antibiotics were discovered, this resulted in a decline of Sanatoriums because now there was a cure for this illness. If you are lucky, you can find some that are still standing, not functional, but hidden behind trees, waiting for some new life to come around...Thank you to: instagram.com/marie.mcguckin for coming along!Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan
Exploring Abercrombie & Fitch Abandoned Castle Explore Deez Nuts 2021-12-06 | This castle, built in 1927, surrounded with 300 acres of land. Around the castle, was a small pond, pool, and many trails. The driveway leading up to the castle was about a 5 minute walk from the main road. in 1937, Abercrombie passed away, and his family that lived in the castle sold it. In 1964-1980 some company owner bought it and he lived there. Since 1980 till now, this place sits alone in the woods. The shell standing tall, but everything is vandalized and destroyed, unfortunately. If you have $3.2 million dollars to buy this mansion, please do. You will also need an additional $1 million to fix it up ;)Hope you enjoyed my little doggo at the end hahaFollow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan
Exploring South Bay Cinemas Explore Deez Nuts 2021-11-29 | South Bay Cinemas opened it's doors on June 28th, 1967, but to be more correct, it became South Bay Cinemas on May 21st, 1975. In late 2016, this movie theatre closed it's doors for renovations but... to this day, the theatre stands still and has very minimal work done inside. In early 2018, workers demolished the inside lobby and the seats were removed. But since then, nothing has been done, even though a "Deal" was finalized. We decided to take a look inside and see what "progress" has been made. I wonder when this place will be demolished because I'm sure they will never finish those "planned renovations".Add me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan

Exploring/Setting up in The Underbelly Project Explore Deez Nuts 2021-11-15 | The Underbelly Project, was a Underground art gallery, in an abandoned subway station. With a total of 103 street artists working down here the limited time that they had, they created some amazing artwork that has not been seen for many years. This project was completed in 2010, and since then, it's been sitting in the darkness, waiting to see some sort of light from urban explorers. Another thing is, the artwork has been becoming defaced with graffiti, pointless and meaningless graffiti. It is such a shame that people have to ruin nice things but, we live in this world where nice things can't last forever unfortunately. "WE OWN THE NIGHT" was something I saw and really wanted to capture. We set up candles, set up shop, and captured this moment. There are many other designs in this station, but this one seemed to catch my eye the most. Just seeing this stunning artwork in the pitch black, amazes me.

Climbing Building 93, Kings Park Psychiatric Center Explore Deez Nuts 2021-06-17 | Have you ever climbed to the top of 93? Welp, sit back and watch my drone take complete control.
Exploring Pilgrim Psychiatric Center (Abandoned ONLY...) Explore Deez Nuts 2021-05-02 | Located on a half active facility, a few buildings stand abandoned on the property. The main and most interesting part on the abandoned side is the power plant, where you can see from the drone view in the video. Not much to say, because most is still active, but just be careful walking around and exploring...you have been warned.Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfanSong that I used: youtube.com/watch?v=5RKTwl7IRnY
Exploring Abandoned Missile Site Underground! Explore Deez Nuts 2021-03-16 | Ever heard about an Abandoned Nuclear Missile Site? Probably, but have you explored one? Probably, again. BUT, this is the only video of this specific site online. Operated by the US Army, was a bunker but of course a missile site. This unknown location is the same design as others close by. In this video, you will see; the elevator door/ elevator, the magazine hatch, and a blast resistant personnel room (Which was located down that hallway, which we had to spider man climb across). I hope you enjoy!Music that I used: youtube.com/watch?v=kGoZNz9WHE0Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/thehopsinfan
Exploring an Abandoned Military Base on Long Island Explore Deez Nuts 2021-02-26 | Long Island, is filled with multiple abandoned Military bases, with crazy bunkers and tunnels connecting buildings. In this video, we are exploring an abandoned radar tower, and climbing it fast for sunset. After our climb, we have reached a height that was higher than the local lighthouse, and to be honest, this view is totally worth it. AND it's free, if you don't get caught that is ;)Sorry for the delay, again... when I was in Boston for an exploration trip, my hard drive corrupted and I lost almost everything... but, I am in the process of trying to get things back. I have some serious videos that I was saving, because of legal reasons... but let's hope that I can get them back, because some things, are impossible once you do it once.Music I used:youtube.com/watch?v=JiAlZIW7hsQFollow me on:Instagram - instagram.com/thehopsinfan

Exploring Active Tunnels to an Abandoned Fallout Shelter Explore Deez Nuts 2020-12-10 | A very risky exploration this day, this tunnel system is huge and it took some time before we truly understood what we were dealing with... I had this video saved from late 2018, and after some time, I decided to put this out. These are active steam tunnels, and lead to a Fallout Shelter. Some supplies are very old and unknown to the people who walk above this every day.

Exploring an Abandoned Cement Factory Explore Deez Nuts 2020-10-25 | Another day, another exploration. AND, Arthur joined me for this little trip upstate. I found this place by looking on Google Maps, and boom, saw a bando, that simple haha. This video is more of a adventure than a scary urbex. This place was HUGE and fun to run around in. Overall, just a huge playground, but of course if you fall, you will die. But that's why it's fun to walk on the edge. Enjoy the video, and from on now, new video EVERY WEEK! I have a bunch of videos in the works, I just don't know if I can post them cuz of legal reasons....

Exploring an Abandoned Psychiatric Hospital, Through Tunnels! Explore Deez Nuts 2020-08-24 | Welcome back! I'm sorry for the delay since the last video, I had some personal things that I had to deal with. But I am back, and for this video, I am NOT doing any music, just RAW video.

Pilgrim Psychiatric Center, Tunnel in the woods! (RAW Video) Explore Deez Nuts 2020-07-06 | This day was something I was NOT expecting! But after 3 years, yes 3 YEARS, of looking for this tunnel in the woods, I finally found it. This tunnel runs under the Sagtikos Parkway. There used to be farmland on the other side, and buildings that the tunnels would lead into. But unfortunately, the buildings are all demolished. Part of SCCC used to be Pilgrim also, and if you look at some buildings, they have the same roofing as PPC has to this day. I did not know where this tunnel led to, so in this video, I am exploring the tunnels to see if I can find anything interesting and if this led to anywhere else. Next time I come back here, I will be exploring the right side from the opening, and seeing if this leads to the abandoned buildings that still stand today. This tunnel really was a pain in the ass, so please enjoy haha.
