Watching someone wander through an abandoned hospital or a forgotten manor feels like watching a disaster unfold in a horror movie.
Yet, thousands of people eagerly do it in real life. It’s called urban exploration, or urbex — a hobby where thrill-seekers step into vacant, long-forgotten buildings simply for the thrill of exploring and documenting them.
For instance, someone found a nuclear bunker with hospital-style rooms, rows of rusting metal beds, and decaying medical instruments. Another person stumbled upon an abandoned water park with a crumbling dragon-shaped dome.
