- Christmas Time Capsule
Called the Christmas Time Capsule for very good reason, this home was left in an untouched state for years and remained so until after it was first discovered. The house was filled with furniture, personal belongings, photos covering the walls, oh and of course Christmas decorations, lots and lots of decorations. Unfortunately time has not been kind to this "time capsule", vandals had discovered the home since the first explorers visited and tossed belongings everywhere, stolen items, put holes and even wrote graffiti on the walls. Despite all the destruction it was still a very interesting explore!
Having done a little bit of research I found out that the woman who lived here died in 2001 and her husband had died 9 years earlier. Does this mean that the home has been sitting abandoned for 20 years? I don't think so, I also found two calendars in the home dating back to 2011 and 2012 and I would imagine that's how long this home has been sitting. This leaves a gap of about 11 years where someone else was living in the home, maybe it was one of the children or some other relative, we may never have the answer to this. One thing that we know for sure is that the last occupants definitely liked the holiday season and it is likely that the home was abandoned at Christmas. A few years ago the property was sold for tax arears which leads one to believe that the last occupant may have been having financial problems.
The home is now starting to show signs of mold growing in the kitchen and the basement but there seems to be a relatively new roof and the outside of the home was also updated with vinyl siding, if the property continues to sit, it could be a very long time before the home begins to decay naturally. If it weren't for the overgrown and unkept yard, passersby would have no idea that this house is even sitting abandoned, that's how good it looks from the road. Only time will tell what happens to this property from this point onward.

It was an older lady who's granddaughters name is kate. The stuffed animals and toys were for kate to play with. The grandma had a cat. She fell sick and was never able to return home. The family didn't want to deal with the house so it's just been left sit for years.
What's absolutely atrocious is the fact that people have broken into the home and destroyed property that doesn't belong to them. Something is seriously wrong with people now. This was once a very nicely kept home. Now it's just sad sad sad!!!! 😪
I completely agree with you, those vandals are disgusting. The woman died in 2001, so who lived there until 2012, any idea?
@@StaticSpaces ......
Possibly a homeless person then maybe they were ordered to vacate the premises by the local law. Could be several possibles.
Did you know the family and what happened ?
Do you know what state this house is located.
No, i didn't know the family.
I started tearing up watching this. All those photos of family members and none could be bothered to deal with the house. The items in the house were brought there by someone who cherished them. When the lady left, no one honored her or her memory. 😢
Well i am not so sure that the remaining family didn't want to deal with things. There may have been something preventing it, maybe finical issues. Thanks for the comment!!
I love this spot. That old nativity needs to be saved from destruction. I'd be taking pics in there all day, anything Christmas and I lose my mind . :)
This one was a lot of un to explore.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
That is an amazing old home, it’s a shame it was left to rot. It appears there were many, many years of memories in that house, what I find horrible is that anyone could disrespect a person so much to leave their years of memories to rot like that. Be it the children or grandchildren or just family members who left it there. I also realize the person or persons may not have had anyone to clean it out when they passed, that is sad and horrible too. The ones who destroyed it should be hung out to dry…..just saying!
Agreed with everything you said. Thanks for the comment!!
This was sad to watch, not only about the vandalism, but for what might have happened to the family that had lived there. Scenarios were going through my mind about the entire family being killed or in fear had to leave and abandon everything they owned. Unfortunately in today's nightly news reporting so much violence, the chance of this being the case is too much of a possibility. And if what actually happened as in the comment by Vonnie K, it's really so sad that the family chose not to even hire someone to come in to clear items out and sell this once lovely home, especially if it was their childhood home. Even if they were to sell it "as is".
Any number of things could have happened for sure but i highly doubt that violence was involved, although it is possible. A sad situation for sure none the less. Thanks for the comment!!
So sad that Noone in her family wanted any memories of her.Heartbreaking.And vandals are the worst
I will never understand why vandals have to wreck these homes. I’m sure it was a beautiful home at one time. I would like to see pictures of it before it was trashed. You are a very respectful and caring person !!! It was a great video. Do you know the status of the home now? Pam ❤️
Someone started cleaning up the property, they tore down the additions at the back and cleared out the entire house of all the stuff. I haven't been by in a while but I would imagine that someone is probably living there now. Thank you very much for your comment!!
@@StaticSpaces that is so good to hear!!!! Thank you so much for your reply ❤️.
@@StaticSpaces you are very welcome ❤️
Parabéns qui linda casa uma pena estar tudo revolto amei amei 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😀😀😀😀
You know why it's in shambles? Assholes came in an messed this home up. I wonder if someone did that to their home if they would be pissed? YES, YES THEY WOULD BE PISSED. What ever gave them the right to trespass on something they did not own. Smfh
Yes, some people can be extremely disrespectful, it's unfortunate and i wish things like this wouldn't happen. Thanks for the comment!!
I stuff like this because I am remodeling my own house and this helps with what I can do.
Too many little kids toys, so the parents wouldn't have been more than late 30 - early 40 years old at most.
I don’t understand why people, if they for some reason have to leave, why do they leave all their personal stuff?
They may not have Ben able to come back for some reason
There was a baby book on the shelf of books.. how sad
They lived a life of love fun and luxury
I don't know about luxury but they weren't poor either. Thanks for the comment!!
By luxury self satisfaction apparently there seemed to be Christmas as a number 1 love ,and for many of us that’s a luxury. We could look at it another way but I felt it was inappropriate . Sometimes you can have too much of something peoples mind’s wander
This house is quite large - a lot of nooks & cranies.
It certainly wasn't small and I'm sure it was quite nice at one time. Thanks for the comment!!
The Bank probably foreclosure their home and was forced to Abandon it just pure sad
Close, they stopped paying property taxes and the city took ownership and sold it. Thanks for the comment!!
How sad 😭 wow's amazing place!🙏💕👍
Thanks for the comment and glad you liked it!!
People make me sick they should have boarded it up. Dont step on their stuff thats disrespectful
These people might have been A Witness Protection Program when the identity been compromised they had to be located somewhere else that's why their things have been left behind because they have to leave quickly
I suppose anything is possible. They probably didn't get much notice before leaving. Thanks for the comment!!
You can go to county court house ,look up address see who owns it... bank probably by now! Buy it cheap I would assume. Have crime scene recovery come in clean it up and go from there!
Yes, it was already bought for unpaid taxes, there is more info on the story in the description. Thanks for the comment!!
You type guys who do these vid's really ought to start checking with the towns to find out just what happened, because i've seen others like this and the condition of the property makes no sense, as a number of people lived here, tbey all left all there stuff behind !?, think of the possibilities. If the people had just died, no relations, or none interested, then the town, state, would step in, condemn it if not in saleable condition, and sell or plan to develope the land. it's when there's a family contention of the will, or they all can't agree, decide, what to do, seen prop's sit for decades because of that, stuborn, spitefull, greedy, family members, some hoping to wait out till others die or give in, does'nt often work out well. Some of these other homes, like this seem to be abandoned on short notice, by a whole family, some are actually haunted and people just say screw it when someting just tooo much happens, and there's always abductions, family all killed in car, plane, on vacation, it happens more than we think🤨⚖️🦅🇺🇸😉😎, Ayuh
Well i did do my research and everything that i chose to share is in the description, go take a look. Thanks for watching!!
Makes me angry how people can be so mindless. To vandalize a house is so wrong
I completely agree with you!!
Its like an adfiction for them. And it makes me furious, just look and leve the wau you found it is all they have to do.
What a sad situation, shame on the one's who came in and destroyed everything.it makes me want to come and clean it up.so sad , sorry it ended up this way.
Yes, to vandalize a home like this is moronic, but the fact that no one sees fit to sell the house or make claim to the items left behind is stupid also. Someone owns that place and knows that it will be vandalized and gone through....that makes me even angrier than the fact that people have vandalized it.
The people that bought the home at auction, likely did so for the land, either that or they have plans to fix it up one day....or maybe it's just an investment. I don't know why an owner not using their home makes you angrier than the vandals trashing it, I would imagine that they would expect the home doesn't get vandalised or trashed, in fact it may not have even occured to them. Thanks for the comment!!
It was definitely beautiful in it's day. What the vandals do to houses pisses me off so much.
I completely agree with you!
Thanks for the comment Sharon!!
I agree
Thank you for having so much respect. Like you said, even if the house is abandoned, there's no reason to go in and trash the place. Love your videos. Be well.
Thank you very much!!
This is definitely several generations of accumulation. Guessing when the occupant passed away no one wanted to deal with it, or couldn't get there to do it. Then the squatters moved in. Either way, it's sad.
Once we're gone everything we own, all of the things that we feel mean so much to us, just becomes 'stuff'.
Better to grab on to the living moments, and to enjoy the wonderful people in our lives!
May the blessings of the season find you safe, and well, and happy!
Wishing you all the very best, James!
Marian 🇨🇦
See your theory is exactly what I thought initially too until i noticed there was a gap between when the owners died and when the home was fully abandoned. I still think there may be more to the story than that but who knows. Either way you are right, it's all just stuff in the end. Thanks Marian and have a great holiday!!
I agree. Life is just the moment we breathe.
@@jennifercurtis6071 Truth 🙏❤️
So true ! I was at a yard sale last summer and they had absolutely stunning antique furniture pieces and the lady told me their elderly mom had passed away and made nothing at the Estate sale so all the many years their mom had collected the antiques ..it was basically sold for nothing 😞 like you said " stuff" gets tossed or left sadly..
It looked like it was a nice house in its day😩🙁☹️
good video, yea its sad that people have to come in an destroy other peoples stuff for no reason other than to be a jerk. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment and glad you liked the video!!

Whiplash they should be ! Monsters who destroy others property ...
Ssssssss
Vert sad😟l'm 73 years old I always worried that I will die and and on my home alone and all my precious things what will happen😥
This would have broken many hearts at the beginning when it was found and in pristine condition. A family just vanished right in the middle of living their lives, doing day-to-day things everyone does. Cooking, cleaning, watching children playing, tv's left on so the kids could watch when they wanted. Just to see a house in perfect condition and no one around was hard. Now with all the needless violence and hatred aimed at it, it feels even worse. People have no regard for the personal property anymore. It's almost like a sport to see who can do the worse damage possible. I don't believe this was a house belonging to elderly people. Grandparents keep toys at their house for the grandkids to play with but not this much !!! there were no signs of the elderly...walkers, wheelchairs, medicines, it just wasn't there. This was a younger family. The first thing I would do if I went would be to start picking things up and putting them away, displaying the Christmas theme again, I could not help myself !!! If for nothing else to honor the lives of the family who lived here. To put it back the way it was before they had to leave it.
I have tidied up many of these places over the years and i probably would have done the same here if i had the time. Unfortunately in the past when I have done that, they just get messed up again not long after. It's an unfortunate thing and it shouldn't be the case. Thanks for your comment!!
@@StaticSpaces I thought of that as well plus the time of day it was afforded you no time. just wish people had enough sense to respect someone else's property.
Agreed, those people are like dogs, they have to leave their mark! Lol
@@StaticSpaces Thank you for trying. It is a shame others could not just let the place be.
Not necessarily, not all elderly people want walkers, wheel chairs, etc my dad was upset on his last days for us bringing "extras" into the home. He wanted to sleep all day before passing, would eat and drink less and less and in portions throughout the days, get out of breath, etc and when he use to love showering, he began to not want a bath/shower, etc even if mom damped him with a wash cloth he was mad and didnt wanna be bothered. He did love his favorite treats on his last days which we bought him as a family, but the saddest is how hospice fed him terrible food on his last couple days he was with them. His chicken was gross and you think people that are passing would be treated way better but they arent, it goes go show how much the world doesnt give a shit about people.
Some people also bring their family member food to.their bed if thats what they feel more comfortable with... whatever works for each person.
Who ever wrote God is dead will find out just how alive God is. People are so cruel and disrespectful.
Thanks for the comment!!
Amen
God is not dead
Amen God is very well alive
Sometimes people it's going true a really dark time they stop believing in God or anything in life!!!
Think before you talk!!!
You are one of those people who people can't count for nothing in life!!!
My GRANDMA DIED IN 2004. I WENT TO HER ABANDONED PROPERTY MANY YEARS LATER, AND GOT ALL HER CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS AND HER ARTIFICIAL TREE. IT IS STILL DISPLAYED EVERY YEAR!
That's great, glad you were able to save some things. What happened to the house, did nobody inherit it? Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces My First cousin has it now, but he is just letting it fall in. So sad! The power company even cut the power off, due to a fire hazard. it is in Coffee County, Alabama in the Fairview Community.I live 2 hours away in Tallahassee, Fla. Thanks!
@@chriscourson2824 I never understand when people do that. Wouldn't they either want the money from selling it or even just not want to see it fall into ruin? Weird.
There are Multiple people claiming this house belonged to someone they knew or a family member & Other comments have said this home is actually in Canada
I don't think these comments were referring to this house in particular. It was a personal experience the commenter had about a house in the same situation. Yes this house is in Canada and yes there were a couple people that know the area.
Good job but you are so right whoever messed that place up has something drastically wrong with them.
Ya, i see trashed houses so often now that sometimes i just have to talk about it in the videos. Hopefully it will make people think twice before doing something like this. Thanks for watching!!

Older people would not have left children’s toys in the house. Where are the children of the old people if that is what happened? It appears the entire family left all at once.
The details i have provided are facts, anything that is not fact, i have made clear. Sometimes older people don't throw away toys etc, all of the toys, VHS etc are 3-4 decades old, they are from the 80s and 90s
It's was probably Christmas time that why so much Christmas stuff around...when they left...I would love to have the old dresser with the mirror that gave everything to my sister when my grandmother passed and I got nothing....her and I were so close....also the china hutch......some of those disney VHS because I use to watch them with my children and now with my grandkids..
It’s 80’s style
Maybe the toys and some other belongings and even some of the decor is 80s-90s but that living room and most of the furniture is 60s-70s. Thanks for watching!!
I would like to know, what gives people the right to do this to other peoples property ? This just burns my ass.
Nothing gives people the right to pillage these places, i think the people that do this sort of thing have some serious problems they need to deal with. Thanks for the comment!!
You know what burns my ass?? A flame about yea high.lol!!
The fact that it’s not being taken care of , is abandoned, gives them right appearantly
David….I agree with you. I almost got depressed after being pissed off. I’d love to know how this happens in Cities all over. Its mind blowing. Very sad as well.
People who have nothing resent people who do and enjoy destroying things
It makes me so angry when I see what vandals have done to property left abandoned for whatever the reason. Thus, the reason I left law enforcement years ago - I finally acknowledged to self I couldn’t change the criminal. I studied the criminal mind, behavior and sociology instead.
Oh wow, that is quite the job you used to have...i know i could never do it! Thanks for the comment!!
I always feel so frustrated and sad when I see a home trashed, vandalized for what reason? Why? What is the harm of just letting it be. The elements would take over soon enough.
Complex answer, but probably a mix of mental illness, homelessness/poverty and fatherless behavior
I think you are most likely right. Thank you both for the comments!!
Crazy and heartbreaking to think that family didn’t want to deal with house and left it to deteriorate. That in itself makes a person wonder what transpired within their family dynamics to find it easier just to close the door and walk away.
Ya, I'm not entirely sure that's what happened, it could have been that they just weren't able to deal with it. Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces The family didn't want to deal with senile granny so they just left her to fend for herself and rot just like the remains found in the fridge.
This is absolutely horrible for anyone to go in to someone's home and destroy it like whoever did this one day it'll all come back to bite them in the rear end but really would love to know what state this home was in it could be made into such a beautiful home
Thanks for the comment!!
Totally agreed ! What a shame & waste ! Whoever did that, belongs to be locked up !
New subscriber here! Just found you!! I like your style. I'd like to throttle the idiots who vandalized the place. If people are gonna steal things, why not do it without destroying everything else? I will never understand it. Even through all that, I can see what a cozy, comfortable home this once was. I'll be back for sure! Great job!!
Thanks very much, glad you like the content!! Ya IDK about these vandals, there is no logic behind it.
I love seeing all of this, and at the same time it makes me so sad. All the memories, the vintage items that could've went to someone who would've loved them.
Yes , I agree!
This is so heart-breaking, it was clearly a beautiful home surrounded by a winter wonderland. It's so sad, I'd love to live here. So many people are in need of safe housing and so many houses sit abandoned when they could be loved again.
It was quite an amazing house. Thanks for the comment!!
We had renters, when they move out they took everything that wasn't nail down, Rotted out entry way floor with their dog, knew I shouldn't had been talk into renting to them.
Terrible, i hear about so many tenant horror stories.
so sad, these people who do this are just losers with no purpose who probably never grow up and who feel no regret.. They always seem to find theses homes.
What makes it sad for me is to see all the well-loved toys of children who would have given them names and would not have wanted to see them abandoned like this. - especially so with the teddies and dolls.
Looks like a home someone could still use
Definitely is but i think the new owners are only interested in the land.
Mold
There wasn't very much, probably easily dealt with but as is it could be a problem
Just found your channel from Noah's shout out and I really like your style! My wife and I were amazed at how good you are at showing everything there is to see in such detail. I'm sure glad we found your channel and am now a subscriber. Looking forward to seeing lots more of your videos in the future! Cheers!
Great happy to have you here and really glad you like the videos!!
I would love to have seen this place when it was full of life. When I was a kid back in the early 70s they were a lot places like this . me and my pals would go in and explore and rummage but we never made a mess damaged or stolen anything. We just liked to explore.
And that's exactly the way it should be, do it with respect. Thanks for the comment!!
I wonder if some of these homes are vacant due to domestic violence. It seems like children would have lived here due to having all the stuffed animals. Sometimes a woman has to flee & leave everything behind for safety for herself & the children. I enjoyed this video & just subscribed. Thank you
It's entirely possible. Glad you enjoyed the video!!
I agree, it seems like the children were taken by CPS or the mother fled with her children for some reason.
Anybody ask what happened to family?. Sure house has a owner
Yes, all homes and properties everywhere have an owner, except for Antarctica, thats kind of a no man's land.
She could have got a gun and popped a cap in him then she wouldn't have had to go anywhere.
Excellent Explore! Great job.
I wonder what happened, also. However, I must disagree that this was an elderly person who died. When you see a house where an elderly person had lived and either had to go a nursing home or died you see things like walkers, canes, medication and medication bottles (although the meds could have been stolen) you also, frequently see watches, old magazines, smoking materials, a bed on the first floor as older people have a difficult time with the stairs.
In homes of elderly people you see a lot of mid century belongings (there are some here, but not a lot) and rarely, if ever, do you see children's things. You'll see a grab bar or a bath chair in the shower or bath and a toilet riser, so the older person wouldn't fall when getting on an off the toilet. The feel of an elderly person is different than this house.
I agree that squatters most likely had gotten into and used this house. I hope they weren't the ones who trashed it. That is sad when people ruin something so no one else can use it or even look and enjoy it. I wondered if the bottled water was from squatters, then we saw a water cooler. These are often rented when someone is buying bottled water regularly.
My guess is that this was an eviction or a loss of lease or mortgage problem. How sad for this to happen at all, much less at Christmas. The belongings look like the people were not rich and may have been in that economic situation where the loss of a job or a paycheck can mean the loss of your home.
This was possibly a single parent with one or two children. They were either evicted or left quickly to avoid being removed. They probably left quickly and left much behind. Any of these situations are sad. The last I would sadly think of is possible death of one of the parents or even of a child and the people couldn't stand the loss of a child and left. Maybe a DCFS situation where the state took the child(ren) and the parent couldn't stand being in the house without the children. We can't know for sure.
That doll on the stairs scared the heck out of me at first!
I hope the people who had once lived here were able to get their lives back together.
Good job!
Thanks very much, glad you liked it!!
Everything i know is in the description but i will give you a quick recap since you took the time to write such a long comment. The last known owner died in 2001, i assume that a family member probably a child lived in the home at some point until 2012 when they had to leave. They were not paying their property taxes, probably do to financial troubles and the home was seized and sold at auction.
@@StaticSpaces Thank you for the update. That's so sad they lost the house. ( I should have read the entire description, before. I watched it on my TV and had to come online to post as it was such a great find and you did a good job.)
I hope someone is able to live in it in the near future. You did a great job with the explore! Keep up the good work. :)
Thank you very much!!
Elderly couple died off … then someone else came in and lived there till 2011…likely relative but arrears in taxes owed and locked out
I noticed there were no clothes in the closets or in baskets by the washer ?
Did you look at the dates on the canned goods in the kitchen ? Also the home canned items should have been dated... that would have been some indication of a time line. Young people don't usually can ! I hope that some professional group came in and packed up all the antiques so they didn't get distroyed. So many memories left behind. The scrapbook with postcards and pictures looked like from a trip to Alaska. Did you get a chance to look in the attached buildings or out buildings. Wondering if there was a car or truck left behind ?
What sick people tearing it up like this‼️
Just found your channel and love how respectful you are.The house is so sad yet beautiful at the same time....So many collectibles left behind!
Great, glad to have you hear and thanks for the comment!!
Yes. I like how he is respectful.
Thanks!!
Heartbreaking that someone's once beloved home was trashed by heartless low-lifers who have no respect...I think we should hunt them down and trash their stuff...pull their toys apart, feed them to the angry monkies,!
this makes me wonder what will happen to our beautiful home and all our stuff like my 6 ft Steinway grand piano and a vintage pump organ...so this really is upsetting to me.
Hi there, I just came across your channel. This video was so sad to see. Squatters were definitely in this house. Years ago I lived in a apartment in Queens on the 5th floor. I came home from work and found that my apartment had been burglarized. My dresser drawers were all emptied and things and clothes thrown all around. The stereo wires were ripped from the walls in the livingroom, furniture overturned..a complete mess and that was just in a 1 bedroom apt. People have no respect for other people's property. As you were going thru in my mind I could see where things belonged...so sad!
Oh for sure, i mean at least the owners aren't coming back to this one but the feeling of invasion and loss of safety that comes with someone breaking into your space is unsettling. I once had my rental car broken into and all of my camera equipment stolen, along with all of my friend's taken as well, it's a crappy experience! Thanks for the comment!!
Thanks for the tour. It’s so disappointing what people have done to the house! The family really should have someone come in and see if there are item that could benefit the family.This woman lived a full life so sad that all her things have been trashed
I completely agree, it's shame that this place has been ransacked. As far as I know the original family that collected all these items and lived in the home are no longer the owners. So legally they couldn't come in to collect things without the new owners permission. Thanks for the comment!!
An estate sale person could have come in and dealt with the belongings and given the family the money. Maybe something happened and the family did not want to deal with things.
Check out the description, there is some more information about the history of the home and the family. Thanks for the comment!!
I absolutely hate people who come in and destroy these family time capsule homes. I would be pissed if I had to leave my home for some emergency and came back after a year or however long and found it torn to hell! People should respect what is left behind. Even if it's abandon, you shouldn't tear things up. Exactly what is the point of that. I have respect for RUclipsr's who document and leave it as they found it. The others I'd like to see imprisoned.
I agree with you, no respect at all.
I try to leave places as i find them or even in better condition. Thanks for the comment!!
You know when ever I see a vacant house that has been trashed like this house has it really makes me angry. Why do people do this? What is wrong with them? Why do they think this is OK to do? Didn't their parents teach them to respect other people's property? AAAHHHH!!!!! THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY.
Ya, i get that. Thanks for the comment!!
It just breaks my heart that someplace so beautiful is just left to rot.
It's sad alright. Thanks for the comment!!
If he took anything without permission he wouldn't be any better than the people who broke things !
Looks like it was once a very warm and inviting house ❤
You have a very pleasant voice and you're very respectful to the property. It's so sad to see so many personal things go to waste. It was a really interesting video !
Thanks very much, glad you liked it!!
seems to be a world wide phenomenon that not many people consider.
since 2010 or so, a lot of people and families leave and abandoned homes without taking anything.
I think places like this have been around since before 2010, it's just that there weren't as many people exploring or posting them as much. Thanks for the comment!!
Do you ever research the property's and see who owned them and what happened??? Love to know the history.
I research every location i go to and put the details in the description. Thanks for the comment!!
You can go to court house in that county and look up the property and see who it belongs to
@1:04 min on, THANKYOU for speaking about how disgusting people do mistreat other peoples property. I like it that you are as disgusted as I feel disgusted too ✅ now seeing all of this. The folks that lived here were a 👪 family. The destructive people are dead inside as they put a hole in the wall along with graffiti and broke the two beautiful snow globes and trashed this entire house.
Yes, it's sad to see this sort of thing and i think it is worth mentioning. Thanks for the comment!!
GOD IS ALIVE ❤💯❤💯
Sad to me how this persons family disguarded this home, memories, pictures, etc.... like it meant nothing 😔
Just walk away.....So Sad !!
Interesting and sad. That was someone's home and belongings that they cherished. People should have respect even though it is abandoned. That is what remains the memories of someone's life.
Oh yes, i completely agree with you more respect is needed at places like this. Thanks for the comment!!
We have house down the street like this mom went to a nursing home
Ya, it happens quite often, i hope that one is in better shape. Thanks for the comment!!

First video of yours I've seen.. Got to say brilliant! Respectful, interesting and what a beautiful house, heartbreaking that's its been abandoned like this. Subscribed from the UK, and looking forward to more.. Thank you.
Glad you liked it and I'm also happy that i come off as being respectful! Thanks for the comment!!
OK, so you know there's "MOLD," yet don't wear a MASK; what's with that?!
The only reason I can think that a house would be suddenly abandon ..would be if they died...
It's so sad that people have to destroy things. If someone broke in because they needed a place to get in out of the cold there is no need to destroy or make a total mess. That was someone's life. People need to be more respectful
The damage was likely caused by bored kids, that's usually the case anyway. Thanks for the comment!!
The Granddaughters must know her Grandma’s house is on this Channel. Maybe seeing this she will go back and get the things her Grandmother would want her to save.
It's entirely possible. The thing is that family no longer owns the property so it would make it tougher to go back and collect belongings. Thanks for the comment!!
In my family ( back in the late forties) a situation simular to this took place
I've been in abandoned places, like to look around, they're like time capsules of a person's life. Hate it when you get to see them trashed sometimes, never made sense to me why people do that, would love to do that at their house as a payback.
Ya i will never understand the need to destroy someone else's property. Thanks very much for the comment!!
I’ll never understand why people go in and vandalize a place. Take what you want but leave it untrashed. It just doesn’t make sense.
I agree but i am completely against stealing things too, just leave a place as you found it, you never know if someone will come back for things. Thanks for the comment!!
Have you ever gone to the records department to look up these abandoned houses owner history?
I have tried doing that in the past but it is pretty expensive here, it's like $30 per file or something like that. Thanks for the comment!!
Maybe the family were involved in a fatal accident and there was no family or friends with time etc to look after it. Very sad!
Most of the time when houses are abandoned it is because the owner lived alone and was hurt or ill went to the hospital and died or was put into a nursing home thinking they would get out when better and they died unless there is a will it can take years for family to take house but sometimes the family just says it is not worth the fight and lawyers cost
That can be the case in some situations but given the research i did which is in the description, it doesn't seem to be what happened here. Thanks for the comment!!
I have lived in my house for almost 40 years. My parents bought the property 35 years ago and split it up among my siblings. Dad always said I had to be last as I had the house and everyone else needed to borrow money. Well, he didn't get to me, didn't put it in his will, and now the siblings say they will sell 'my' part when mom dies. I tried to buy it and they said she isn't allowed to sell to me- blackmail has been a factor in our family. I have completely rebuilt the house over the years, have beautiful gardens and it's just a matter of time before I have to leave. Like this place, my furniture is old but virtually worthless, I have beautiful china which is virtually worthless. And every penny I made went into 'my' house, I paid all taxes all these years, worked for free in family businesses and ... nothing. Mom doesn't have a will and siblings won't allow her to make one- a will can be contested but intestate is clear cut. I am determined that my house won't be one of these- after all, it's 'just stuff'. Worse to me is what happens to the birds and bees that thrive in my large garden when it becomes a housing development.
@@Chahlie it is so very sad to hear that
Sorry you have to go through that situation but hopefully it works out or you for the best!!
I just don't understand how people can have such disrespect for people's property and memories. Trashing the house. It's so sad.....
Sure is. Thanks for the comment!!
Some people can be so crappy. I just want to do a deep clean on this place!!!
Really enjoyed your video. I see a family that enjoyed life and love tbh. Plus I agree about vandalism!
Exactly....this happened to me....
I had an old little cottage lived alone. I became disabled at 40.
A friend took me in. When I was well enough to go home.
This is what I came home to.almost exactly.
And it broke me to the core.
How..why..who...
And I got severely depressed. Lived through suicidal thoughts due to loss of security and faith in humanity.
I'm now trying to find a way to restore my home..my sanctuary once. Everyday..its a long heartbreaking expensive endeavor.
But I was told..it will be worth it..to not let them...WIN.
take it back they say.
So....
Thank you for your sincerity in bringing this to light.
I love exploring too ftr...old resorts etc..
But your kindness...meant the world to see.
God Speed.
Always be Kind...
Perhaps good for cognitive behavioral therapy...
Family never helped . Were in other states and too busy with their families.
They all told me I was over reacting..
Burglaries happen all the time.
This was not just a burglary...it was a sweet cottage for a lonely hopeless romantic artist who became disabled.
My fairies smahed..my records thrown all over..my clothes dumped..my photos tossed abot..
It happens..to real people..
I atest..
I commented on your other reply but again, it's a terrible thing to have happen and i hope you get things back on track. Thanks for the comment!!
I Wonder Why they Didn't have any fireplaces in the home? Sad Really. Human's really are DISGUSTING. Why destroy Other People's Property Even if it abandoned. KINDEST THOUGHTS to all from Australia.
That's a good question about the fireplaces, can't believe i never noticed that! Thanks for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces 😇 Would Have made the House Cosy with the Snow. But So Sad. Thank you Static.
Did you do your research? You could go to the county courthouse to learn about who owned it last then research to see what happened to them.
I did what research i can and there are a few details i had to leave out. Other than that, looking up official records isn't cheap, you have to pay for them, it is also very time consuming. Thanks for the comment!!
Yes please
This video is amazing for so many reasons. Life is so short. I lost my husband almost 5 years ago and I am currently “finally” going through things and trying to donate what’s nice and trash the junk to keep my kids (all over 30) from having to deal with an entire household of stuff if something happens to me. Anyway, many of the items in this home gave me flashbacks of raising my own children while also reminding me of my 6 grandchildren. I also saw some things that my brothers kids had growing up and the wreaths reminded me of the crafts my mom and I and other family members often got together during the holidays to make. This is a family’s lifetime of memories in this house. It’s heart breaking on so many levels. It makes you wonder who the family was and what happened and you can’t help hoping that they aren’t all dead. I hate the way some people can be so destructive and disrespectful with other peoples property. Maybe there is somebody related to this family that had no idea all of these things were left this way. My point is, if anybody related to this family is ever located and offered the opportunity to salvage anything from this home, heartless people have destroyed the place and it would now cost exponentially more. The clean up alone would cost so much that most people would have to pass up the opportunity to salvage the home. Unless they are lucky enough to be able to get a crew of volunteer workers to help with the clean up. Or maybe they might have a big family capable of pitching in. If this was my moms home or family of mine, this would be heart crushing and also really make me mad too. The house itself looks to be a home worth renovating. I’d love to see somebody come in and clean it up and flip it. That would be really cool. Great job on the video. Thanks for sharing.
That was really well said! I'm sorry about your husband but i am glad you are taking the time to go through your things. Thanks very much for the comment!!

These are always so heartbreaking as I'm an older person myself. It's sad when your kids leave home, partner dies, and you realise you have 6 more of everything than you actually use. For years you faithfully wash the floors, clean the windows, starch the curtains, and for why? She probably liked Christmas if it was the one time that family might visit. I'm about to sell the contents of my 'guest room' that has never been used, so I won't have to look at it. Living in a rural area is great when farming is a thing and there is a community , but when it becomes a bedroom community you may as well live on the moon.
Getting older and going through that kind of a transformation is tough for sure. In the case of this home i don't think it's that the children weren't interested in the the home, i think something out of their control happened and that's why things weren't taken care of. Sad way for this home to end though. Thanks for the comment!!

Thanks for watching!!
People shouldn't destroy someone's property if they aren't living in the house.. Wherever this is if anyone is interested in buying people shouldn't tair the place apart.. This is so sad.. God isn't Dead!! He has Risen!! Amen..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is very true. Thanks for the comment!!
The house was a home once ... thanks for sharing ... yes there was no respect to this home that's standing still in time ...
The even sadder thing is that I would've moved in and taken care of the place until they decided to do something. So many are or are becoming homeless soon and it's so sad these places are just sitting here being ruined.
That's not graffiti. That's vandalism.
Awww I would have totally rescued that Teddy Ruxpin ❤
same
This is by far one of my favorite abandoned home videos. I enjoy your calm demeanor as you travel through the home commenting on what you observe. I hate to see the vandalism and destruction. Thank you for posting this video it was very enjoyable and the home is still beautiful.
Means a lot to me that you consider it one of your favourites!! Thanks for the comment!!
Wow..... more than a little sad, people can be disgusting. They destroyed the home of a family that could have left for a visit out of town and never returned home. Maybe a family member will see your kind video and recognize the photos. Thank you for being so kind.
Well i don't think the original family will ever be returning because the home was sold at auction for back taxes. But you're right, it is still disgusting. Thanks for the comment!!
This is the first time I've ever seen one of your videos and I love it. You did a great job going through everything. Its a beautiful home. That i wish someone would fix up and bringing life back into it. I feel sorry for whoever lived there that all there family treasures were left behind.
Thanks very much glad you liked it!
So many homes that could have been used by others are left abandoned. And if it fall into disrepair it is easier to break into. So if the family had kept it up, maybe no one would have ever broken into it.
Thanks very much for your comment!!
What happened to thefamily?
Christmas time,were they in an accident or something worse.
I always. wonder why people abandon their homes. Elderly people, often are put in nursing homes or live with family,or die.
It is always sad,to see homes abandoned and not know why.
Sometimes I wonder if the family was abducted or killed and maybe their bodies are buried on the property or if the family is being held captive.
I also wonder if the family was in a storm shelter and couldn't get out.
Do county records have any evidence of who lived I. the homes and maybe there are relatives who can be notified
I also wonder if the family had to evacuate in a hurry.
Unfortunately many homes are vandalized.
what is sad No one ,knows what happened to the family.
Normally if a person goes on vacation,they leave the house In order but not always especially if they may be driving.
I am always interested in these families stories.
Even,people who inherit homes, don't always want them or don't want to go though the homes.
Older people who live alone often just don't have any help or friends or family who cares.
There are so many homes abandon all over the world.
this home obviously had a happy family and had very nice belongings.
It is so heartbreaking to see homes destroyed by vandals.
Something about Alaska,keeps coming up.
Can you do some research on the family?
Maybe local police know something or funeral homes or county tax offices.
How old is this home?
people who are squatters just try to survive unless on drugs,and they move on to other areas.
So much that could have been donated or sold.
That was at one time a beautiful home.
There are many videos on abandoned homes and hoarder's homes.
usually the county will take a home for unpaid taxes, or if the person dies without family.
I assume whoever live-in this home. died and the house must have sat far back off the main road and maybe the entire town died.
Wish you could have salvaged items and sold or donated
Were there no neighbors
I don't know what happened to the last people that lived there but there are a lot more details leading up to the home being in its current condition. Thanks for the comment!!
There are kids who are in foster care etc who would love the toys if they could be cleaned and donated... What a shame!
Great video.. thank you so much for your respect for EVERYTHING and you are so right people are so disgusting it's a shame 🤦🏼♀️
Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment!!
Very brave guy I was a little nervous watching you walk through, I hate that someone destroyed the place it makes me so angry how cruel and evil people can be
No bravery needed at this place, i actually found it to be a very relaxing explore. Thanks for the comment!!
It's heartbreaking when people abandoned a home for whatever reason. You can tell it was a well lived home. You are right people are discusting and disturbing to vandalize a home.😡 So sad. 😞
Thanks for the comment!!
Abandoned places in Canada and the USA always seem to be vandalized. Many places in Europe aren't as vandalized. I thought maybe it was the same house I saw a couple years ago where the family does in a car accident but I read the comments and saw the story of the previous owner.
All the treasures we collect on Earth we can't take it with us when we die. Thanks for the fascinating video 👍
Ya, sometimes places get vandalised quickly in this area but not always. Places do get vandalised in Europe as well but i guess it takes longer in some cases. Either way, i am glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!!
I was just curious what was under the staircase behind that hidden door in the living room
I think I briefly showed the area didn't I? I don't really remember off the top of my head
You were absolutely right that i would love this one! I seriously feel like this place is sort of like a personal nostalgia trip for me too, because there are MANY items in this home that i have ties with now or from the past. You know i collect Christmas movies (White Christmas is a classic so of course i have it!), plus i also have lots of those S'more snowman ornaments like the ones you pointed out on the dvd player downstairs. Upstairs i saw movies that i've bought, and i had Pound Puppies, that entire set of Simpsons dolls (i'm pretty sure was from Burger King) EXCEPT the Bart you showed because he was sold out here, and finally that large white bear with the hat & scarf!
Aside from all that, i LOVE the front door (it's so painful knowing it's just sitting there rotting away when it's so beautiful), and the green wallpaper in the living room is something i'd use myself! The colour in the dining room was really nice too... what a lovely home it must have been at one point. I'm thinking that it was Grandma & Grandpa's home and they kept their childrens' stuff (hence the 80's/early 90's things), and then bought stuff (like the newer movies) for when the grandchildren visited (i'm guessing the first bedroom was theirs, and the squatter maybe brought the movies in to there if the power was still left on the house).
Thank you for this explore and for saving it for the holidays--it was an awesome treat!! Merry Christmas! 🥰
Haha yup, knew you were going to like this one! Definitely a lot of stuff from the 80s and 90s in there, brought back a lot of memories for me too. I agree though, it's a shame that this one will likely rot away and then be demolished in the future.
Thanks for the comment and Merry Christmas!!
When I first watched this house be explored it was in much better shape time hasn’t been kind to it which is a shame plus it makes me mad when vandals that just go in and trash it there’s no respect any more I’m happy you respect property’s you go to
Ya, it is a real shame what happened to this house. Thanks a lot for commenting!!
My house caught fire bk in 2003 and some people came in and cut my living room suit all to hell took what they could used that broke my ❤️
That's disgusting! Appreciate the comment though!!
