For my first video on this channel, I wanted to take a look at a few interesting abandoned locations in my home state of North Carolina. Stock footage: videos.pexels.com/
NC born and raised and still here...I was 5 in 1970 when the Land of Oz opened and my parents took me to it for my fifth birthday. I still have 8 mm film my dad took of us riding in the "hot air balloons" and seeing Dorothy on stage. I still have a glass from there that was a gift from my brother. lol it was wonderful...Always love to hear from fellow NC and enjoyed your channel very much!
I spent many, many hours there with my young son and still have some of the souvenirs we purchased at the shops that were open. It was one of the greatest theme parks for families to visit. It is a shame that it was destroyed and people looted depriving others of the enjoyment shared by many others.
That one really brought back memories. Seeing all those bands down there. Partying my ass off while underage (oops, did I say that?). Never had a problem and never saw much back when I was going there, but I did hear about the situations from a friend during the 80s. I will never forget standing up front at The Bears Den and watching Robin Trower play 'Bridge of Sighs' ... wow is all I can say. Both a piece of my youth and a piece of Raleigh history ended that day in '84...
Wow, I certainly thank you for sharing each place as I too am from this great State also! Now about the thing that really blew my mind is this..I wasn't looking for any such video nor did I know anything about these videos as I was searching for property in Nc. & then all of a sudden this popped up and I watched it 7 was loving it ..then the last 1 of "The Land of Oz" I couldn't believe what I was seeing, as a very young child, 1 of my 1st memories were made right there in 1979. Then while in NC visiting my Mom I asked her about it, if it was still there? Could I possibly take my young daughter as I LOVED it as a child just last evening..weird huh? I was so saddened when she said that She'd heard years ago that they closed it, my heart was broken as It was my beloved Daddy who had taken me there & made beautiful memories right there! Even more weird Yesterday was the date that my Daddy had passed away in my arms at 55 in "07"! Even weirder huh? Then to see that you said it is now open on certain dates and I knew immediately knew that Daddy sent me to find your beautiful video I have just know this to be true as he has done so any things like this, since leaving for heaven, but I now will find out when they are open and take my little one and know Daddy too will be with us with his overwhelming spirit..So I can't thank you enough & wish Gods blessings not just to you but to all those that you hold dearest, Gina James
@@nicolemegyeri5267 right its the comment with 10 likes not the video telling 35,000 people someones dream castle is abandoned and free to vandalize. real hero you are
I bartended at the pier and met buffet, played several times with several bands off nights and no shows...... great vibe, inde rock was alive and well...... * great job btw
I also grew up in Concord only . 5 miles from Jackson Training school... It didn't have a fence around it in. The 70 early 80's they let the young outside they could run at anytime . My dad would always throw out packs of cigarettes for them . I've seen a few run by the house many time but hounds and police were always not far behind .. My ex-husband was sent there because of behavior problems at home at 15 he told me the still let get his GED taught him a welding trade and mechanic s so something good did come out of it. I had aunt Dixie that retired from there after 30 years she has talked about the old church across the bridge and well it has its own haunting for sure. She has been witness to these. .For what was created to help young men .. the system failed at times it was CO-ED at one time not a good idea.. SINCE THESE WERE WILD TEENAGERS .. MY LIL COUSIN DID A VIDEO DOCUMENTARY OF HAUNTING OF JASON TRAINING SCHOOL IF YOU VAN GET IN TOUCH WITH ME . HED SHARE THEM . BUT IM NOT EVEN SURE IF HE HAD PARANORMAL STUFF
I myself have been to the castle the story behind it was he was so in love with his wife he treated her like a Queen and wanted to build her own castle she became sick and he lost interest ... It has been rented out numerous times but Vandalized .. but could a beautiful. Place
Went to the land of oz in 70's My teen age years I lived in a housing development an could literally wAlk to Jackson training school from my back yard . I also visited Jts various occasions with church an a boyfriend whose dad was a cottage parent.
I'm fr NC when I was growing up and was doing something I wasn't sopose to grandma would tell me she was going to send me to Jackson training school. I didn't know what it was but I knew it sounded like a place I didn't want to go
Stonewall Jackson training school is haunted I have been there twice I have pictures of strange orbs in them. you can here some one talking some times true story..
freaky deaky if you like I can send you a picture of my husband in the church across the Rd he was setting on the front seat I took a picture of him and these two big orbs was setting right beside him on each side. just let me know I guess I can send it threw your email .
Connie Shaw I think I'm going to go check it out when I come to NC to see my kids,I think they would like seeing something haunted that close to were they're from
Cape Fear region born and I keep coming back; unfortunately, so is everyone else from everywhere else; but yes, all of downtown Wilmington is well haunted.. once abandoned places are now sites for overpriced condos. I wonder what folks will experience in those Indian burial ground estates...¿
I have been wanting to go to the land of oz i have a exploring adventure vlog channel it would be awesome to get that place me and my daughter have our own channels

When I was just a small boy, my Mama took me to the Land of Oz. I remember it well, fond memories from my childhood!!!!
My uncle shorty was employed at the land of oz as an oompa loompa in 1973.

Very informative
The church across from the school is seriously creepy. It sits on top of a giant rock.
Omg, as kids we were threatened, "If you don't behave gonna send you to Jackson Training School". Scared us straight though...
Me also. But us army straightened me out
Nice vid

You have a great, calming voice. You should do more videos! This video was well done and I hope you do more.

Worked at Oz while it was built carried the majority of the yellow brick. Then did head cashier duties. A really great place to work.

where's that place at 0:15 with the large tower located?
Whenever I we drive to my friends house and when we cross the school, theres also a weird church on the hill? Is that abandoned?
Wild-
Nice perspective. Andre the Giant live in that area.

Yeah, I saw claims that it was haunted when I was doing my research for this video. With the things that happened there, I'm not surprised!
