Ben James is British explorer who shares his pictures and videos on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Ben recounts how he began his explorations as a young lad sneaking into abandoned homes and how his exploration has expanded to include abandoned asylums, hospitals, and funeral homes, often finding morbid or intriguing items left behind. He shares a tale of exploring what he thought was an abandoned hoarder house, only to be confronted by a man wielding a shotgun, as well as stories of exploring the abandoned home of a serial killer and discovering bodily organs in abandoned hospitals in France and Spain. Ben also addresses criticism he received from a member of the "28dayslater" UK-based exploring forum, before the interview takes a serious turn as he shares a personal story of being falsely accused of stealing items from abandoned homes and sexually assaulting female explorers, and messaging underage children. Overall, the episode provides a fascinating insight into the world of abandoned place exploration, complete with its dangers, surprises, and controversies.
