I was debating whether or not to make this post, but after looking at how many people believe the authenticity of this video I think it's worth pointing out.
This video has circulated around the web since 2009 and usually it goes by the title of Japanese ghost: haunted hospital (full footage) and even till this day people question whether it's real or not.
It's fake.
Before talking about empirical proof, I'll just mention some pointers why this is fake from a logical standpoint.
When you type in Ura Horror hospital into google it's the first clip you get.
I thought it was worth having a debunk of this because surprisingly there's very little info on the web about it, I had to jump through hoops just to find the origin of the clip haha.

- At the beginning of the video there's a warning about how this clip drove people to suicide and madness after watching it. As soon as you see something like that, you already should conclude that the footage is not real.
- The name of the hospital is never told, it's just referred to as a "haunted hospital."
- The name of the reporter, cameramen and interviewees is never mentioned, they're just referred to by their role.
- The second interviewee, despite not having their face concealed like the first interviewee, is referred to as 'Mr. B' which makes no sense why they would conceal his identity whilst displaying his face.
- Most glaringly, if something like this did happen, it would be all over the news- not just in Japan, but internationally.
