“My exploration of this abandoned building took me on a rollercoaster of emotions,” Dave, from Ontario, Canada, told What’s The Jam.
“The architecture was stunning, even in its state of disrepair, and you couldn’t help but imagine the lives that once thrived within these walls.
“But as the sun dipped below the horizon, the atmosphere changed.
“Mysterious footsteps echoed through the corridors, and shadows danced on the walls, seemingly with a life of their own.
“I knew we weren’t the only ones here, and it sent shivers down my spine.”

Walking through the maze of hallways Dave discovered many empty rooms, smashed windows and empty mattresses.
The building had been stripped of everything of value.
One wall, located in darkness, was graffitied with the words ‘free me’.

He also discovered stairs leading to nowhere.
He added: “The heart-pounding moments just kept coming.
“Unexplained phenomena seemed to surround us at every turn.
“Our camera equipment malfunctioned inexplicably, and cold spots appeared out of nowhere.
“It was a night that reminded us why we’re so passionate about exploring abandoned places.”
Sharing his exploration online people were quick to comment and, despite the camera malfunction, couldn’t get enough of the old monastery.
Cole wrote: “These monasteries are big but so so creepy. The cities should start fixing and cleaning this place up and use it as a homeless shelter. Looks like it could hold slot of people. Oh my gosh this place is absolutely huge.Just imagine how many homeless people this place could shelter, instead of sitting empty like it is.”
Jonas added: “Nice building shame the vandals got their hands on it.”
Steve said: “That was a beautiful place at one time! Love your videos as usual. Your a great man!”
“Great explore,” commented Charlie.
“I was a little disappointed the inside was so modern i was hoping for a lot of wood work and old decor,” mentioned Jerrold.
