How to Trespass | Exploring Abandoned Places

Hey Jason, love the videos. I actually live the town over from Woonsocket, and visited your old school because of the documentary. I would reccomend the Medfield State Hospital to check out. It's public access, and still has all the buildings.

I believe the superman building is being renovated for apartments by High Rock Investments, probably why they won't let you in?

Great points, Jason. From watching you and post 10 it seems like the northeast is a really great place to be with a large quantity of abandoned spots.

Consult a local lawyer on your city/county/states trespassing laws. Some states have vastly different requirments for a property to be considered secure than others. having an intact locked fence, with NT signs only so many feet apart, etc etc. knowing these things can be the differences from a cop telling you to move along without getting of his patrol car vs cooling your heels in jail for 5 hours waiting toi plead your case to a judge.

Check deeds and records. sometime property owners have died and the heirs/probate havent done a good job or gotten around to trasnferring the deed. Dead people usually cant support a Trespassing charge against you. depends on your state, check local law.

also look for forbidden properties abutting easy access. this could be a road or public land or something that if you hear a vehicle coming you can take 2 hops back to and be out of prosecutions way.

check your states statute of limitations and be smart. CYA and dont brag online about being someplace you're not supposed for a couple of months or years, depending.

lastly be a good human, if youve been denied access to a place and you go anyway and see tons of vandalism and signs of high use, the property owner is frustrated with people costing them time and money. go away and go someplace else. you might not understand why an owner is denying you access, show some compassion.

I genuinely thought this could be clickbait based on the title lol

I appreciate this channel so much as content honoring and documenting the historical sites that we still have and I relate to your love for the MA drive-in so much.

Your Westborough State Hospital footage had me thinking about now demolished state schools in the area. The Paul A. Dever school almost 20 years ago got me into urbex. Would love to see what footage you have of any of those places.

YOU DO EXCELLENT WORK AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND THANK YOU

You will get in the superman building one of these days

I'm instantly in love with this channel. I've been exploring for over 2 decades. I love the "welcome mat" comment about the trespassing signs. I feel the same way. But I couldn't agree more about getting permission when you can. It takes all the stress off, and the production is way better.

Easton Cement Factory across from Dog Track in Taunton. Enter from left wood line going through cement tunnels and a maze like structure to get to main entrance. Climb up and get a sick view! The top of the building is best on the rear as it has shade and allows time on target. You can get caught if in the front but the security guard is not willing to climb stairs in the dark to get a person to leave.

Which video did they ask you to take down?

Second thumbs up for the Santa Cruz hoodie :) from a fellow Rhody. Yes Trespassing!

Thumb up if you got to see the Ladd School before it was torn down. That had to have been the coolest urbex spot in all of RI.

Can you look into doing a video on Dutch island in Narragansett bay? Really interesting history and lots of ruins

I enjoy all your videos

First time watcher, and I enjoyed this video. I urbex myself and do watch a lot of YT channels that showcase this activity. Increasingly though, I do wonder if such channels inadvertently add to the issue of places getting looted or trashed? I've seen it a few times when explorers find and document a beautiful location, only to go back to see that items have been stolen etc. Not saying they're responsible, but it is a discussion worth having I feel. Anyway, I always urbex by this code: take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints. Subbed.

Great video as always man!

Fun fact: I believe the state of New Hampshire gives landowners a tax break for easements/right of way/allowing people on their property. Wish other states would do something similar to encourage people to allow more explorers!

I love your content so much. Also, the "Yes trespassing" stickers are sick, and I can't wait to receive mine!

You did see anybody else in the abandoned trainstation?!

what if I told you my uncle demo company went to Westbrough State Hospital and he found the morgue plus I know a LOT of good spots around Nh, CT and Mass, plus you're wrong about South Weymouth Naval Air Base about Watertown getting filmed their they filmed it somewhere else in Mass AND South Weymouth Naval Air Base is one of my favorite spots perfect spot to test your rc vehicles and drones !

Thank you for sharing all the hidden jewels of New England. A creators dream. I just did a shoot at 6:00 am at the Windswept Mansion….. it was magical!!

Love the content Jason. My family is from Barrington and we spent our summers on Block Island before moving up to NY in the 90s. It's truly remarkable how much history and character RI has. Your ability to document and narrate our tiny state's history is incredible. However, I am a bit apprehensive for any new content releases due to the fact that it's getting harder to see locations with personal connections in states of abandonment.

love your work thankyou...MLfrom west greenwich

Stay positive and love your life 💛

I took an 2 hour drive from MA to Rocky Point a few days after watching your video a couple times! It's a gem of a place and I could feel how special it was when I was there from what I learned in your video. Thanks for all you do for New England Abandon History!!

Just discovered your channel, some great stuff!!! Having grown up in the region, I have personally visited a number of the sites you've covered. One question though, I don't see that you covered the Ladd School in Exeter, RI? Or did I miss it? I believe it's fully demolished now so if you didn't make it there, the opportunity is likely gone.

You have inspired my own channel last year. I bought a drone and started documenting my trespasses. So thank you for that! In my own channel I spend more time on the historical context than shooting the locations and of corse writing a good story that is as close to historical truth as I can get. I’ve found the hardest part is not infringing on copyrights when I’m using modern sources. But so far so good. If you want to check out what you’ve inspired, it’s Abandoned Cape Breton. It’s not linked to my main account.

Westerly, RI native here. Love your work, man. Keep it up. Would love to meet someday on a trip down here!

How to tresspass ah yes a tutorial on how to break the law

Native of the area and LOVE your channel man. One of my 7 year old and I’s favorite past times are exploring local abandoned spots like many you’ve covered here on the channel. Keep up the great work!

I'm wondering if you've ever been to the Aldritch Mansion in Warwick or Warwick Neck (just past Rocky Point). There were 2 "Doll Houses" by the water that I visited a couple of times. They were the daughters Play houses. Not much left to them when I was last there, but the structure was stone and cement, so they may still be there. Also there are tunnels under the mansion. It was said to be for the Rum runners during prohibition to bring alcohol in from the ships to distribute. I'd love to see the tunnels if possible, Bishop Hendricken has their Senior Campus there. It's also the location of the Seminary. Weddings can be booked for the Mansion.

What was the place the government made him remove? Anyone know so I can try to find old upload of his video to watch or a different explorer who's been there?

Is that Aldrich!?!?

I just got back from jail after 20 years, maybe I shouldn't have trespassed into the military base.

Makes me very nostalgic for New England. I grew up in Massachusetts. Loved the abandoned locations I've encountered and hope to be back soon to do some more exploring! Now I'm in LA and looking for abandoned places is a different experience. It seems they are very demo happy here and locals tend to be very overprotective (at least they come off that way to me) when trying to explore. Doesn't help that filming with anything larger than a phone or something like GH5 without attachments tends to get the police called and then paying fines for filming without a permit. Best luck I had was out in the desert, but nothing beats the good ol New England urban exploration!

'Yes, trespassing'!...Alright. On with the video. Lol

Well done and clearly explained, I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I agree 💯 we need to document these places before they're all lost to time ! 🫡🤝

bro leaked all the secrets.

Great videos. Can you make a video of the Van Zandt Bridge in Newport that the city is going to level. It’s the last bridge on the railway that used to go to Newport and in my opinion should be repaired and not removed.

Tell em u went back for your blue notebook to get your prom dates number....

Exploring abandoned buildings sounds like my idea of fascination. I would love to see all of those places that were abandoned for some reason either preserved or better still, brought back to life. I often wonder why places were abandoned and never used again, especially when a fair amount is still intact.

just curious have you ever been cought

Urbex from MD, you should visit Forest Haven in Laurel. There's a lot of history there.

I love old Drive In Movie Theaters. I visit the Wellfleet Drive In, in Wellflet Ma., at least once a year. Although it's not abandoned; they are a dying breed. It still has the attached speakers too. During the day it's a fun flea market.

To the government I am bored and don’t plan breaking in anywhere

The "when u get caught" part excites me cause i broke into this federal prison that was abandoned only 2 months before i got in and every other group i know was to scared to try to get in cause how difficult it was and it was next to a national guard base

I just opened this channel with my best friend 🧡 abt urban exploring. Pls leave a sub to this man. Check my acc too

Have you ever heard of the Fernald School in Waltham? One of the most disturbing histories of any place I’ve explored. Unfortunately recently a 3 alarm fire occured there so it’s probably under tight watch now and it’s planned to be demolished this year, no timeframe yet though. I went there plenty of times at night and during the day and I had run ins at night with WPD driving up the many roads there but I got away every time. During the day I seen hikers and it was generally free of stupid teen vandals who go there to smash stuff.

So how to find information on the owners and ways to reach out to them?
