Construction began in 1927 on a 600-acre rural campus, Rockland State Hospital, as it was then known, initially had 5,768 beds. With a working farm, its own power plant and industrial shops staffed by patients who manufactured everything from mattresses to brooms and furniture, Rockland was then considered among the best-planned psychiatric hospitals in the world. In 1931 the hospital opened to 60 male patients, all transfers from Manhattan State Hospital.

I'm not too ghost oriented but...... At 5 min 29 sec and 3/4...there's a shadow in the left of the windows. When the camera pans to te left leaving the frame you can see that the shadow is an objet appart from the pattern of the wall and the windows reflexion. Maybe i'm wrong. The curiosity is just killing me.

Back in the 1950s they had about 15 buildings still in operation. One by one they started to close in the mid 70s but some had still remained open, some time after. And now they're all closed.

Hudson river is also very nice and the chances of being arrested are reduced there. Oh well, just send me a private message if you want some useful tiips. You have harlem valley state hospital like 15 min. away from hudson river state hospital, and its also a really nice location, but more risky than hudson river. Its in Dutchess county as well. Theres teh bennett school for girls also in Dutchess
