An urban explorer has vowed never to return to a creepy abandoned hospital – calling it “easily the scariest place” he has ever explored.

Dusty Reichert, 19, went inside the eerie old building – which he believes has been abandoned for 16 years – and found it full of old patient records and beds.

He filmed his adventure inside the forgotten hospital, where he found biohazard notices and containers, a television set that continuously turned on and off by itself, and old laundry baskets heaped with clothes.

His clip of the hospital, which is in Minnesota, US, has gone viral on TikTok, garnering 3.3 million views – where users compared it to Stranger Things.

“This abandoned hospital is easily the scariest place I’ve ever explored due to all of the encounters we had,” Dusty, who is from Minnesota, told Need To Know.

“I found it after stumbling across an old news article talking about its closure.

“The vibe in the building was unsettling.

“I would never go back.”

In the video, Dusty puts on a gown and mask before finding a room with a biohazard sign.

He opens the door and discovers the room filled with biohazard containers, old clothes in laundry baskets and red buckets.

In another room, he walks in and finds the creepy television flickering on and off.

He then enters another storage room and find stacks of used bibles, old flowers and more clothes.

In another empty room, he spots a singular assisted bathtub, as well as an old wheelchair, pay phone, and stacks of patient files and records.

The post garnered 196,000 likes and hundreds of comments.

Gab said: “I will never understand how biohazards and patient information is just left behind without it being destroyed or contained.”

Laura likened it to the horror movie, The Ring, saying: “That TV is giving ring vibes.”

Joe commented: “Stranger Things vibes.”

Em wondered: “Why is there so many abandoned places everywhere?”

Mando commented: “TVs that do that have been exposed to radiation…”

“Bro got no fears,” said one follower.

“And then it has a sprint button,” added someone else.

“Your brave I wouldn’t even enter,” wrote Carissa.

Dusty believes the hospital was shut down to be renovated into a college dorm, and says it has since been demolished, renovated and re-opened.
