    We also stopped at that abandoned house on our way to Stirling Mine!
    Found some clues that led us to look up the name of the guy who used to live there. Turns out he went to prison for murdering his mother…
    LOVE your videos!

    I've been out there a few times. Up in the woods there are a few structures made of stacked stones. Also, holy jesus that glory hole! Looking at the old pictures then at the pond is pretty wild. Deep ol hole

    people arent aware of how many abandoned towns and stuff there really are, i live in newfoundland and theres abandoned towns all over. I found an abandoned highway one time completely overgrown, and a native indian settlement a mere 20 feet off of a moose trail completely untouched, you could tell because the tree poles were setup in kind of a circle and collapsed in a criss-cross pattern , like they used to be tepees but collapsed the wood was basically rotten and disintegrated though. its crazy what you can find a hundred feet off the roads in some places.

      I would love to find something like that, that's amazing. It's very hard to find something no one really knows about but what you describe sounds about as close as you can get!

      yes, there is and there is a long house up behind Larry's if you go there in the winter, you can find the railroad tracks the rectangular sinkhole leaks, dangerous amounts of methane. You can like the snow on fire.

    And that's Nova Scotia the whole province, Abandoned for generations now
    And you can thank a handful of people in Nova Scotia who feel they own everything and everyone.

      Yeah... the province as a whole is nothing to CB. We've been getting fucked for decades (centuries even), with objectively zero improvements. The state of our infrastructure would cause fucming riots anywhere else in the G7
