Introducing our newest service feature which is going to be all about flying locations that are off-the-grid and out of the brochures. Places that are a truly unique and the exact opposite of a tourist attraction! We are talking about the mysterious, the creepy, and just about everything you would want to find on a unique day out.
If you know or own any locations like this please send us an email via our contact form. We would love to fly it and showcase it on our website and YouTube!
At its height the complex included 58 buildings, on a property of some 1.4 sq mi (3.6 km2), and a capacity of 2,200 patients. It raised its own livestock and produce, and generated its own heat, light and power. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, the property was closed in April 2003 and the buildings shuttered. The grounds have been reopened to the public and are open every day from 6 am to 6 pm. It has been used as a filming location for major thriller/horror motion pictures such as The New Mutants, Shutter Island, and The Box.As with any historic institution there are tales of abuse and miss-treatment, with a death-rate as high as four ‘inmates’ a week at its peak during the early years. However, in later years the hospital turned things around and changed the way the patients were treated.
In the 1950's new and revolutionary psychotropic drugs were introduced into health care, drastically changing the care of the mentally ill. Because of these new drugs, more patients were able to be discharged. Under the leadership of Dr. Harold Lee, Medfield gained national recognition for its rehabilitation program which incorporated a "step-system" of increasing independent living situations on campus and a vocational program to increase work skills for transition into the community.

In its retirement, the Medfield State Hospital has been used as a filming location for a few Hollywood movies and TV shows. And you can see why if you ever visit the facility. The Town have closed all the buildings to the public, but do allow people to walk around and use the grounds from dawn to dusk.
High Line Drones decided to put together our own mini-movie at the location. This was inspired by the early years at the Insane Asylum, as well as being a cool little promotional video for the location, just incase you are brave enough to visit? If you are, check out the bottom of this post where we will list the location and other places of interest.

I just moved into Medfield recently and learned that this place is just down the way. I am an avid ghost enthusiast and think I may be taking a walk around the grounds pretty soon (insert major hand clapping here). Thanks for this video…you’re right…lights out and volume up is perfect for viewers who want the full affect ;-)
