An urban explorer has vowed never to return to asylums after she experienced the “scariest night” of her life in a creepy abandoned hospital.

Jamie Marie has braved more than 100 eerie sites.

But there’s one place she’ll never return after the terrifying experience sent her running for her life.

The Mansfield Training School in Connecticut, US, is a vast asylum that opened in 1860 and finally shut in 1993 after years of scandal and neglect.

Now left to rot, the building has a reputation among ghost hunters who swear its dark corridors and tunnels are still haunted.

In a clip racking up 925,000 views and 152,000 likes, she details the spooky ordeal.

“An energy I felt there steered me away from the property for over a year,” the photographer and social media manager told What’s The Jam.

“I made my way down to the basement, which included storage, a former electroshock room and a crematorium.

“The air turned very cold, and I was overwhelmed with a strange feeling.

“I can’t even put it into words.

“I felt that I needed to get out immediately and proceeded to do so.”

Jamie says the basement, with its electroshock room and crematorium, was so horrifying she bolted upstairs in panic.

The ordeal kept the 24-year-old away for more than a year – and she’s vowed never to step foot in an asylum again.

She said: “I have not visited the basement floor since, but I have returned to the other portions of the campus.

“The experience didn’t make me stop urban exploring, but it kept me away from hospitals and asylums.

“Even as a sceptic, and someone who has been doing this for over a decade, I still become overwhelmed with the energy in these places.”

Jamie, who lives in New England, US, has seen her passion for the paranormal take her across the states.

She added: “I have always had a passion for abnormal and unsettling things.

“I have always loved stop-motion movies, puppets, the paranormal and everything Halloween.

“As I grew older, I needed to incorporate this interest into something more physical, like a hobby.

“I started exploring abandoned places with my best friend and found a way to mesh the non-physical interests of my childhood with an abnormal hobby.”
