These eery images show the inside of an abandoned hospital and are said to be one of the most haunted places on earth.
An urban explorer visited Yorktown Memorial Hospital in Texas last month as part of a ” dark tourism” trip.
It was founded in 1950 by a catholic group the Felician Sisters.
The hospital served as a rehabilitation centre for those suffering from drug and alcohol abuse.
After 30 years of service, it eventually closed in 1980 and the structure was abandoned.
It has since become a popular hotspot for thrill-seeking ghost hunters.
Many brave souls flock from around the globe to see if they can experience anything out of the ordinary.

Paranormal explorers have reported everything from talking dolls to red glowing eyes.
The images gave a chilling insight into what the hospital looked like before it was shuttered.
The urban explorer’s creepy photographs show different rooms with all the old furniture still inside including rusted bed frames and wooden desks.
In one shot, a terrifying-looking doll is seen covered in decay and its eyes shut as it lays on its side.

One photo shows what appears to be an operating room with a set table, sink and cabinets filled with various items.
Another image shows a chapel with graffitied walls and the pews and pulpit still there covered in dust.
Other images show long, dark hallways with black and white tiles.
The photographer captured an image of a framed photo on the ground, covered in black.

The image is black and white as it is unclear if they are patients or staff.
The urban photographer said: “I was given express permission to explore the hospital as long as I remembered to lock the gate afterwards.
“The hospital gave a few noises while I was inside.
“Doors slammed shut but that could have been wind, yet as the night drew near I think people may have snuck in.

“I began to hear whispers and loud bangs above and below and that’s when I decided I’d seen enough.
“Many have broken in before and stolen from the inside so eventually they began to run tours for the paranormal upon request.
“I’ve been exploring abandoned buildings in the UK for 16 years, but nothing came close to this adventure – it was truly terrifying.”
