There is an abandoned [1996] hospital in Kempton park - went one Friday afternoon but security busted me before I could get through the back gate by the empty nurse's quarters ,think the Yamaha XT600 alerted them, here is some pic's from GOOGLE

You could always bribe the guards to get in, one of my friends went in about 2 months ago. I know one the neighbours report "visitors" to the police. There is also a facebook page for the hospital

That Kempton Hospital is seriously creepy.
Someone should do a "shoot" of the old Capitol Bioscope in Pta, and (although not abandoned) Steve Biko Hospital (my dad was there yonk ago with his first (and worst) heart attack - at night one could the trollies rushing up-and-down the corridors, with no-one in sight), near ward 5 and the chapel; as well as the old "Moedersbond" and the nurses' dorm.
There are quite a few places in Pretoria where the supernatural is strong, but they are not necessarily abandoned.

Kempton Park hospital is exactly the place I was thinking of going to. Really keen to look around and take some pics.

Enjoy your spooky places, I for one domnot have a big enough supply of clean underwear to do it. Don’t like spookies on tv either, only Casper.

hi, whats the story with the Kempton Hospital ?

believe it or not i grew up in Kempton, lived there for years (primary school and high school) to give you an idea, even had my tonsils removed there as a kid

but I have no idea what the "urban myth" is, why is it so creepy, what supposedly happened there ?

I have also lived in Kempton Park for many years.

No one knows. They closed the doors on 26 December 1996 when the last patient was signed out. Weird part is they left everything, equipment, patient files, etc. The most weirdest part is you never hear anything about anyone who worked there, only about previous patients.

Good luck with that google search, you never find any information about what happened

OK - HEARSAY - The ceilings were made out of asbestos tiles and it was not safe anymore , it would have been too expensive to rip it out and replace with another material, this is the official story but I think there is more .
UPDATE
The Democratic Alliance's Jack Bloom says the decision to close this hospital was a bad one.
"They said this hospital was under utilised. I think it was a very big mistake because we have seen a growth in the population and these hospitals are very necessary.''

From IOL:

“This is the room I was born in,” says Ronald Hart.
He was born at Kempton Park Hospital in 1991.
Five years later it was abandoned and became a dark shell for ghosts.
“It suddenly closed down. When it was open it was one of the best hospitals in the region,” Hart says.

It was the day after Christmas, 1996, when they shut the doors. It wasn’t what they took out but what they left behind that has made the hospital a haunt for teenage rebels and ghost hunters.
Almost every room is littered with abandoned hospital equipment. Metal beds are without occupants. Corridors are blocked by dialysis machines and operating tables. Filing cabinets burst with old medical records.

Hart is fascinated with it. He looked up his birth records to find out which theatre he was born in and has visited the hospital countless times since 2006.
Standing on the hospital’s roof, we look out on the lights of the living city.

Hart talks with the rhythm of a tour guide.

“On a clear night you can see Pretoria… I like to come here when I’m depressed.”
Tonight is misty. And Hart’s peers don’t visit the hospital for quiet contemplation. Broken glass crunches underfoot and graffiti mingles with unnaturally red blood on the walls.
Hooded teenagers stalk the outside of the building.

Kempton Park Hospital is an expensive playground.
Equipment left here has been estimated to be worth R10 million. Security costs R1m a year.
But after midnight on a Saturday, the front doors are wide open. As long as you have R40 on you, keep your torch down when you are near the windows and don’t make too much noise, the guards fade away with the ghosts.

In 2006, plans to reopen it were launched. But there was controversy around tender processes. In 2008, the Health Department said it would make provisions in the 2010/11 budget to reopen it as a 270-bed facility in a private-public partnership. But a feasibility study showed it would cost R350m just to reopen it as a 210-bed private facility.

Every day the building, estimated to have been worth R23m, gets more dilapidated.

The hospital is increasingly a home for the strange. Lying on the floor is an illustrated step-by-step guide on how to shave your bikini line correctly.
In a second-floor storeroom there are FHM pictures of girls in bikinis, their eyes scratched out so they look like beautiful demons. Alone in an empty room is a small wooden chair just big enough for a child.A unbroken jar of ?kidneys lies on the floor .

In the emergency theatres, heart monitors stand next to the metal operating tables. You could do an operation there tonight. If you had a body......

Every now and then someone hears a noise, feels breathing.
“I saw something by the window,” says Hart’s friend.
“That’s your own shadow, bru,” Hart shoots back.
The only ghosts I feel are the ghosts of wasted opportunity.

I went to the Kempton Hospital about 5 years back we managed to pay the guards off but got chased away before we go to the 2nd building where the children's ward and morgue were.

2 weeks after we had been there a security guard fell down the lifts as the doors were wide open. I think he survived not sure from what floor he fell after that it became a bit more difficult to get in but I'm sure that's all subsided by now.

I have a few pics but they on a micro sd card so had to snap them off my digital calendar as I don't have my pc. So sorry for the poor quality.
There is a pic of me in here to still in my smoking days, makes me laugh when ever I see it.

 

[Clouds4Days]

There is no light inside at all there were 8 of us and all with tourches. If we had to switch our tourches off we were surrounded by complete darkness.

Too many people say that.

It's usually dust particles up close.

The corridor with the bench against the wall is quite prominent with activity. I can just feel it there.

Interesting observation, scares the living dinges out of me. Going to chemically enhance myself now to have a spooky free sleep.

Went hunting for ''orb colour meaning and got this from ''wishingmoon.com''

Have you captured coloured orbs in your photograph? Take a look below to find out what each colour of orb means.

Clear Orbs
Clear orbs are most common and are thought to be a sign that a spirit is trying to communicate with you, or perhaps they are just letting you know they are there!
White or Silver Orbs
White or silver orbs are extremely positive energies, they are there to offer you strength and protection. A white or silver orb could in fact be your guardian or archangel.
Black or Brown Orbs
These orbs can be interpreted as a sign of danger. Perhaps the area where the photo was taken is negative, or unsafe. Be careful and act with caution in this area.
Red and Orange Orbs
Warm coloured orbs, such as red and orange, represent safety and security. These spirits are offering you comforting, healing energy and bring strength and courage. They may be your teacher in life, looking over you and taking care of you.
Blue Orbs
Blue orbs are extremely calming and peaceful. This orb may be your spirit guide, offering you spiritual guidance and protection.
Green Orbs
Green is a soothing colour and may represent a healing orb or spirit. Green orbs are also associated with a love and respect for nature.
Yellow Orbs
Yellow orbs are thought to represent caution, so pay attention! This could be a warning from your angels.
Purple Orbs
Purple orbs are known to be orbs of information. As purple is a very spiritual colour, this entity could be seeking spiritual guidance, or prompting you to consider spirituality in your own life.

What about the CARLTON HOTEL downtown JHB ? Been empty for quite a while now [1998]. I believe there is guards that can be ''convinced '' to let you go explore ?

If you can't feel the spookyness when looking at this picture, then you are haunting and no longer being haunted. Damn

Definitely haunts me bro...to a point that I just wana take a vacuum and clean that room up...its damn filthy!!

 

[Ruwaid]

yuss those pics of the hospital made my hair stand! Some I just stared at waiting for something to move lol then realised its a photo.....OR is it!!???
On a serious note...watch out when taking those interesting pics at cemeteries. We should fear the living who prey on the innocent in places like that.

@Ruwaid you won't find it funny if you were attacked by a demon.
