Paranormal urbex is a fascinating discipline that mixes urban exploration (urbex) and the search for paranormal phenomena. Urban explorers venture into abandoned places – disused hospitals, ruined mansions, forgotten asylums – in the hope of capturing evidence of supernatural manifestations.
🔦 What is paranormal urbex?

- Unexplained noises 👂
