CREEPIEST PLACE ON EARTH

 
 
 








Hellingly Hospital was a large mental hospital in the village of Hellingly, east of Hailsham, in East Sussex, England. The hospital, also known as East Sussex County Asylum or just Hellingly, was opened in 1903. Its architect was GT Hine, one of the great asylum architects of the era.

The hospital boasted its own railway line, the Hellingly Hospital Railway, used principally for transport of coal. This branch line led from the main line to the boilerhouse. The hospital also had a vast laundry, ball room, patients’ shop, sewing rooms, nurses home, extensive grounds, and an advanced utilities network for its time, including a large boilerhouse and a water tower. It followed the compact arrow plan for the main hospital, with separate villas surrounding this.

The majority of the hospital closed throughout 1994, however, and to this day much of the 25.4 hectare site stands derelict and extremely run down, after suffering repeated vandalism and multiple arson attacks.

    That’s nice photoshop work. I don’t believe any of it is real. If it was closed in 1994 why the hell is there still a body with a toe tag on it? Get me some run down hospital pix and I’ll do the exact same thing.

      Hey Joe! Thanks for stopping by the site. Really, if these shots were not photo-shopped, this place would still be scary as hell. But on That’s Like Whoa, we like to go a little further and when we found something that was equal parts WHOA and ART we could not resist. Romany WG is a professional film editor but shoots and shops on his spare time. I think, with these shots, they are meant to more interpretative than photo-journalism.

      We could have simply googled pics of Hellingly but they would not have been nearly as WHOA;)

      Thanks again for checking out the site!

    You’re taking things a little too literal Joe. That is me in the fridge with the toe tag on. Just did it for a bit of drama.

    Love these shots very spooky, and I totally agree sometimes you need to pull out the power of PhotoShop to give images there extra Wow.

    The fridge makes me think of a scary place I used to go to as a kid, http://ghostystuff.blogspot.com/2008/05/seaton-delaval-hall-mausoleum-and.html

    Great work as always.
    Take care
