Inside the 'haunted' UK morgue abandoned for 20 years with medical tools still on tables

Creepy images show the inside of an abandoned morgue in North Wales that is believed to be "haunted" and is "oddly peaceful".

Urban explorer Jordan L, 24, said that the morgue felt like it was frozen in time with it still having medical tools and autopsy tables.

One image shows the mortuary register left abandoned and another shows a sign stating ‘Beware Danger Of Injections’.

Jordan, from London, took snaps as she made her way around the morgue that has been abandoned since 2003.

She had heard stories of the morgue being haunted by others who have visited the grounds, and after an hour exploring the never-ending rooms that remain the same as when it was being used to store bodies, she sensed "peacefulness" rather than spookiness.

Jordan felt as though the building was serene and comforting with birds singing, as it was in such a rural, tranquil location.

What Jordan thought quite strange was that the porcelain tables, that had been left there since 2003, were as clean and pristine as if they were still being used today.

The morgue opened in 1970 and was used as a place to embalm bodies of the deceased and perform autopsies when required.

There would have been hundreds of deceased bodies going through the morgue since it opened, leaving the possibility of many souls being left behind.

“The morgue was used to embalm bodies of the deceased and conduct autopsies when required,” she said.

“They worked closely with the local funeral directors to remove and receive the deceased. It appears to have been running since the 1970s and seemingly closed around 2003.

“I absolutely loved the little porcelain table. Porcelain mortuary tables are very rare now and to find a clean, tidy one is extremely unusual.”

Jordan felt a sense of tranquility being surrounded by the Welsh countryside, even though she was standing in a building that has experienced so much death and heartbreak.

“It was oddly peaceful and calm,” she said.

“I've seen some people claim that it was haunted or they felt terrified but I just don't see it. Nobody died here and it's in a scenic location so I was quite relaxed.

“It was just a small, quiet morgue in a scenic area with nothing but forest and birdsong surrounding us. It was almost a tranquil experience.”
