A hospital mortuary, forgotten in time, has been discovered with rotting human remains, blood and creepy autopsies.

Urban explorer, Ben James, regularly shares his creepy and intriguing explorations on TikTok (@places_forgotten), with his 1.2 million followers.

Most recently, he's delved into the past of a hospital mortuary forgotten-in-time, located in British Columbia, Canada, which has been left untouched since 2001.

In one picture, large bags of blood samples are shown collecting dust in the corner of an office room, with biohazard jars of human remains becoming lost under falling debris.

Another snap showed the mortuary fridge, which contained a lone pair of slippers, sat ominously on a tray, which appears to have belonged to a deceased person.

A third photo reveals thousands of autopsy reports, from both adults and children alike, dating back to the 1900s.

"The remains of the basement mortuary were very creepy and sinister," Ben, from Hertfordshire, UK, said.

“The most amazing thing was the room with all the autopsies, as it had all the autopsies from the 1900s onwards.

“[There were] autopsies and death certificates belonging to both adults and children with graphic details, diagrams and photos.

“It was fascinating to see and I could have spent all day there reading it all.

“The mortuary fridge was the biggest I’d ever seen and I think it could cater to up to 25 bodies.

“Dried blood and bone matter were the first things I found.

“Blood and tissue samples, along with biohazards were simply just forgotten.

“There were John Doe death certificates as well as a dead person’s shoes."

In a clip uploaded on TikTok, which has racked up 440,000 views and 36,000 likes, the 32-year-old explorer takes his viewers on a tour of the spooky, rotting hospital.

Ben walks through the derelict building, before stumbling across a calendar from September 2002, the date the mortuary closed, as well as dried blood and broken bones, including part of a spine.

As the ceiling crumbles, the property's dilapidated state shows.

Users flocked to the comments to share their reactions, with many calling the discoveries "traumatic."

Another person added: "All the details make this look like everyone just literally stopped in the middle of what they were doing. It still boggles my mind."

"How is it legal for them to leave personal information of people's dead relatives?" one viewer commented.

"No one is talking about the fact that this place was abandoned the year and the month of 9/11," someone else said.

One person added: "Am I the only one who would've taken home the slides? Those are so interesting!"

Someone else said: "I would be so nervous in there but intrigued! Wow, what a thriller!"

"Something should be done. Like collecting all the death certificates and cleaning up the biohazards. It hurts seeing the autopsy reports of the children," one person added.
