Abandoned Riverview Insane Asylum, One Of Vancouver’s Most HAUNTED Locations!

I hate to rain on your parade, but there are no ghosts haunting the halls of Riverview. I've been there hundreds of times over the last three decades, working on one film project or another. I've spent two full overnights 'dressing sets' in the Crease clinic, - the building that is supposedly the most haunted, begging for something to happen. Nothing. I've spent countless hours alone in just about every building on the site, as well as on the grounds and in the woods. It looks haunted, smells haunted, but alas....no ghosts. Any 'relics' being found are more likely from a film production leaving them behind than from any actual vintage hospital stock. Again, sorry to dispel the myth.

Hi..its really haunted and scary??

Can anyone tell me if this building (West Lawn) is alarmed on the inside? East and Centre Lawn are alarmed which makes them unfortunate places for exploring.

Why didn’t you go down to the fun zone ?

Not all buildings are in that condition. Had either of these trespassing been injured, it would be ages before help came. The building is full of asbestos which is why it was boarded up and fenced off.
Center Lawn would be a good one to explore

Incredible!! Haunting, riveting, on par with the music. Well done!!

Can you just explore this however you please since its abandoned or are their security guards wandering around?

For sinister phenomenon I am Lance Preston

security is amped up now, I wouldn't try going again :/

Many thanks for the great video!!!!

was in the movie grave encounters

In einem der Fenster steht jemand...guter fake! 😂👆🫵👍

They filmed many indoor scenes of Elf (2003) here

Going g to spend the night tonight watch for live feed and upload of the stay

i dont know how i havent seen this video yet, i am quite a veteran of this place hahah. ive done riverview quite a few times, and i used this same entry point before, such an easy spot, too bad its patched up now, they have locked it down yet again, im just waiting to catch them when they are slacking off and a point of entry will be open and should stay so for a couple of months! anyways great video!

Hello is from Rasha❤🎉 Super!

Collingwood is real!

Always wanted to sneak in there. Cool vid!

Looks like you caught a spirit 7 min and 16secs in. Anyone else see it? I worked here for movie filming and the number one rule is, never be alone. Our equipment would be moved to opposite walls. You could hear people whispering help me and phones would ring that were not connected to the walls. You could not pay me enough to spend a night here, by myself!

Went there one time we found a small crawl space with a trap door to the roof. View from up there was pretty cool.

Me came here from grave encounters who else ?

My father worked here for years - it’s not haunted. Super cool looking through

Old Riverview hospital insane assilem, the last patients were moved ovr a decade ago, i was hoping it would reopen to house all the dangerious out of control fentanyl addicts on the notorous east hastings area, and there was plans being drawn out to do just that, and then in the last year the land was reclaimed by the local native population, so the plans to clean up hastings permanently all went out the window...

this is the building where grave encounters was filmed

Did you see the tunnels ? Also I live in Vancouver and just drove up the other day and I need to go inside ! Can you take me !? Amazing video

where is the door that says death awaits ? :D

This place is Legendary. Definitely want to take a look some day soon! It deserves heritage preservation! Beautiful facade

Is it still abandoned

does anyone know the address?

Who's here after watching grave encounters ✨

Had a look yesterday! There was no security but That window you got through has been sealed, and there is no other entry points.

Hi i'm lence Preston

Watching this cause I don’t have the balls to go in 😭

I lived about a 5 minute walk from here. Would often walk around through riverview late and night. Besides a bit of a creepy vibe due to it being all run down, never noticed anything supernatural about this place always loved being here

Wow and I used to work there.

You guys should watch Grave encounters 1 and 2. It's A R ated movie it's a good movie, and it's all about the riverview Hospital investigation

GOD Rest the Precious Souls of Many Who Were Just Gifted Spiritually NOT “ crazy”!!!

East Lawn we used to go there high on LSD in the late 80s after a night at Friscos Bar. LOL BCBC uses it for movies now, and I havnt dropped acid in 30 years

so cool!!!! how did tou get in?

are you allowed to go in? we went today but there was security

Damn! I wanted to go in there so bad, but they have boarded up that entrance for good now!

Want to go there so badly, just scared about getting caught 😭

Please visit during night😅

i’m actually an urban explorer from kansas city, missouri and it is a dream of mine to explore this place.

creepy, my uncle was in colony farms. he was not well in the head .

Thanks for taking the risk for us to wander through that building, I thoroughly enjoyed the first couple minutes shot from the drone, it certainly added an aura of mystique. Though I've wandered around the grounds, I always wanted to explore inside myself, but I'm not as young and fit as my brain tricks me into thinking I am......I mostly enjoy photography, and though I'm no professional I noticed some awesome opportunities, looking through some of the broken windows at the deteriorating exterior, the peeling tiles and the shadows they cast on the floors, the long walls with cracked and peeling layers of paint.....the possibilities are endless.

We go there every October
They should make it into a Haunted Asylum for Halloween Month...Now that would be Freaky
