I grew up in Jasper, FL. For halloween, they used to make to Old Jail a hunted house. If you could make it all the way through there was a huge cauldron full of candy you could dig into. It's crazy to see how abandoned the area looks now. *As A kid I thought the suwannee river was sweet tea.. lol
Amazing how many of these run down towns exist! So many people have left for the city and jobs…. Shame few come back as these towns are still beautiful if fixed up and loved again
Oh man. You came by my area again. You definitely have to let me know when you’re coming through the Gainesville area again. I’ll treat ya to lunch and I have some places to tell you about for possible future exploration videos. Safe travels, friend.
I have to say I love your background music! I love that I can still hear you talking while it plays, it's a really nice effect! Jus' sayin'! This was a great video, I used to live in White Springs, which is not too far from Lake City. Loved it there and did lots of exploring when I lived there!
@norinesimmons9174 Because there is nothing there. No job opportunities, no nightlife or entertainment. For young people desiring to grow in life, unfortunately, Hamilton County is a dead end.
Geez Tampa Jay! You sure do make me nervous with those abandoned places. Especially the ones all grown up. Snakes, Snakes, and who knows what else. 🐍🐍🐊 Please be careful, my friend! ❤️🙏❤️
That watertank you saw in Madison is called a stand pipe very old and very rare l think their only two in the state of Florida and you saw one great video and many thanks 😂😂
Love these episodes roadside attractions & abandon places. I miss Florida are used to go around Georgia and Florida all the time looking for abandoned places when I was younger watching these bring back lots of memories. Thank you, Jay.🔥🔥
Morning Jay! Looking forward to this one 🙌 Omg that mannequin in the jail freaked me out haha 🤣 this place is amazing. Definitely on my list of old Florida places to visit. Wonderful video so far man!
@@TampaJay of course you're welcome! Haha I would have for sure almost crap myself if that happened to me. Still watching my friend! Enjoying this adventure my friend, looking forward to what's ahead 🙌
I really enjoy seeing placed places like this especially the ghost town and haunted civil war hospital there in Jasper i think i have seen the hospital on several paranormal shows on RUclips before and it is really interesting to hear about thanks.🇺🇲🛣️🇺🇲
Hey Jay!! Great video!!! You were really close to the Drew Manson foundation... but when I looked at google maps? I also saw a "Hidden Cemetery" near by... Oh the Jasper abandoned buildings were giving me a Sawyer family vibe!!!!
Hi Jay. I lived in Live Oak from 1953 to 1958 or so. Spent much time hunting and camping in Suwannee Springs, Ellaville etc. Was able to go into the remains of the Drew Mansion before it burned. Seem to recall that it had a cellar that may still be visible. My brother and his atty. friend from Jasper toyed with putting a restaurant on the S Spgs bridge but being on the Suwannee River it wasn't doable. Suwannee Springs was a very popular resort in the late 1800's. You may want to do a vid in the White Spgs area. Tks for the memories!
I did not know Tallahassee was as hilly either until I went to FSU there in 1971. I did not have my license yet and my boyfriend (now my husband for 50 years) taught me to drive his stick-shift and I kept sliding back down the hills! I finally got the hang of it. Love your Florida Roadside Attractions videos!
I hope you keep boots, gloves, a first aid kit and water with you in the vehicle, and wipes too! I wonder about some of the furniture in these old places! Old wood is lovely!
When Jay says " hello" and gets answered😂😂😂😂 That maniquin would have totally freaked me out at first😂. We totally and thoroughly enjoy all your adventures Jay! If u ever come to Oregon look us up. We will take u around. Thanks for the fun!🖤🐈⬛
Oh, wow! We live in Jasper! Wish we had seen you out and about in our hometown. I definitely would have pulled over and gotten a selfie with ya! My husband, 2 girls and I love your channel! 🤗 P.S. - They do some haunted stuff in the old jail around Halloween time. Hope you can check it out, sometime! Take care and we look forward to your Much Ahead.
Hey there, that’s so awesome. I appreciate you. Please tell the hubby I said hello. Hate that I missed y’all, so cool. They do a Halloween thing there. That would be so cool to see.! Much ahead my friend
The Quiet Place bridge…wow I thought the same thing immediately seeing it! By the way seen the new one Quiet Place Day One and it was good but still like the original the best…Joseph Quinn did a great job in the new one too!
Amazing series Jay...never gets old seeing all the unique and interesting places around the state...thanks again for all your hard work bringing us these awesome adventures.😎🇺🇲👍🚘😇🌞
I was a little kid visiting my aunt's home. Richmond Va. There was a blood stain in the living room. It was once a civil war hospital. I played dolls with the girl in the white nightgown. Just kidding about that last part😮 Super cool memories as a kid. My brother and I collected bullets in the backyard. The house was torn down years later.
I've been watching your videos for a short while. And I've noticed every so often as I read the comments that you comment on each other's videos. That is Beyond Sweet ! ✨️✌️
The iron stars that you mentioned are steel reinforcements rods. That red brick wall has little strength by design. I love these places that seem like time capsules of Florida past.
Hi Tampa Jay I always love ❤️ watching your videos can't wait to watch your next video from Michelle over here in Nottingham in England ♥️ never stop doing your videos Jay it wouldn't be the same without your videos 💗 😊 😀 😉 😅❤❤❤❤
I always like cruising around seeing things like this TJ. And with your help, I don't have to start the car. HA! Thanks for another great video. That dummy hanging up would freak me out too. Lol
They should remake Jeepers Creepers and film it right in JASPER, you have all the abandoned buildings and vegetation so you don’t need to build a soundstage in a Hollywood backlot
Wow!! That was way cool!!! The adventures on the backroads of Florida with Tampa Jay!! I think you met a ghost my friend. 👻👀I got the heebeejeebees when the meter spiked! Yikes! This is one for the books! Loved seeing the wildlife and old architecture, definitely interesting to see the old homes. Thanks for sharing!!
Great video! Like all your videos. I will say when doing abandoned places, here in Florida or anywhere, you should always have a friend with you. I can only say for Florida, there can be some sketchy people in some of those places.
Holy Moly!!! That arm inside that door really weird!! That was amazing when the meter went off when you asked them not to go with you. Maybe they liked your speaking politely to them. Actually would be a good idea for you to have snake boots when you are in that growth. Never can be too careful. Thank you Tampa Jay.
I missed you again Jay! Would like to meet you when you get back in the Tallahassee area. We use to race go karts west of Jasper. As far as that governor's mansion you need to check out Florida Trailblazer video. The foundation is still standing.
you couldn't find the mansion..but you were in right spot. decades worth of sediment have covered the true location. that other Mansion that served as a hospital..now that was intetesting.your Deep divers into old Florida have really got my interests up for more in the much a head.
Hello Tampa J !!! I live over in Brevard County, I’ve been following you now for a while, Thanks for posting all the super cool videos of our state! I see you exploring all the vacant pieces of land, perhaps you could get a drone to get aerial views of these places.
The Florida Capitol building is 22 stories high . The top floor is an observation floor where you can view the area in every direction. On a clear day you can see the coast.
I believe I’ve driven by that big red structure a few years ago. Florida has many buildings that are hidden in plain sight, you just have to be on the correct road.
Amazing to see just how many of these sort of towns exist all over the US….Loss of Jobs 8 guess So many people have left small towns go the city and not come back
Tampa Jay there was another Civil War battle fought south of Tallahassee. The Battle of Natural Bridge just outside Woodville Fl. Because the Confederates won Tallahassee was the only Capital that didn't fall to the Union
Loved the video....but you make me so nervous walking around in high grass and shrubs wearing sneakers and shorts! I'm so afraid you're going to get too close to a not so friendly snake! 😬😬
Hey brother that’s my old stomping grounds that’s awesome your coming up this way. Fun fact chef art smith is from jasper. What are you doing in tally I live here I can show you around some places.
For your safety you should have a face mask to wear while in those abandoned homes. More than likely black mold is present amd not good to be exposed to
I grew up in Jasper, FL. For halloween, they used to make to Old Jail a hunted house. If you could make it all the way through there was a huge cauldron full of candy you could dig into. It's crazy to see how abandoned the area looks now.

Proud of you!
Proud of you babe !
I graduated highschool in jasper back in 84. Sad to see the old town dying. The red barn building used to be a window factory. Thanks for sharing t.j.
I graduated HCHS in 03 😀
I don't understand why people don't want to live here anymore?
@norinesimmons9174 Because there is nothing there. No job opportunities, no nightlife or entertainment. For young people desiring to grow in life, unfortunately, Hamilton County is a dead end.
@@Love3285 very sad. Looked like a nice small town.
This is why your vlog is so interesting. Old Florida history with current videos, Jay.😎
I enjoy these roadside episodes Jay, Thank You.
WOW! I wish 2 things: that "they" would let you metal detect where you'd like, and that I could ride with! Thanks for taking me along!!
Geez Tampa Jay! You sure do make me nervous with those abandoned places. Especially the ones all grown up. Snakes, Snakes, and who knows what else. 🐍🐍🐊
Please be careful, my friend!
❤️🙏❤️
That watertank you saw in Madison is called a stand pipe very old and very rare l think their only two in the state of Florida and you saw one great video and many thanks 😂😂

Mornin Jay!!,
Morning Lee
I love driving through northern Florida. You gave me more ideas of places to check out next time I’m up that way.
My heart goes out to the grandmother and mother and other family members of the missing teenager,

Hello Jay, my favorite type of video…thanks for sharing 😊

Good stuff! Always loving these abandoned locations
Imagine those places you visit at night in this video. Very freaky!
AMAZING YOUR CRAZY
I hope you keep boots, gloves, a first aid kit and water with you in the vehicle, and wipes too! I wonder about some of the furniture in these old places! Old wood is lovely!
Awesome video!!! Love when you do these videos ❤
Oh man, I forgot how much I love trains! I really miss them. Thanks for the train rush.
You're brave walking into those abandoned houses. Wait, brave isn't quite the word I'm looking for :)
Great video Drew Mansion can be a little hard to find. Took me a few trips to find it.
You make me want tondo these typesnof videos or do a drive along with anyone willing to do this 😊❤
I see the Ghost meter crank up some numbers .... WOW....😮😮
Yeah, that was freaky , it definitely went up
Thanks for watching
I love these so much. Watching right now and appreciating how masterful you are at sharing these abandoned sights. Awesome.
Great locales. You could have a character there called Jasper the Friendly Ghost.👻
When Jay says " hello" and gets answered😂😂😂😂
That maniquin would have totally freaked me out at first😂.
We totally and thoroughly enjoy all your adventures Jay!
If u ever come to Oregon look us up. We will take u around.

Subbed! Love your videos.
The iron stars that you mentioned are steel reinforcements rods. That red brick wall has little strength by design. I love these places that seem like time capsules of Florida past.
That is a Perfect Description of all these types of places he visits. 😎 ✨️✌️

You could try to find the mansion ruins again in winter when the vegetation dies down. It might make it a bit easier to spot the remains.
Great video! Like all your videos. I will say when doing abandoned places, here in Florida or anywhere, you should always have a friend with you. I can only say for Florida, there can be some sketchy people in some of those places.
Yay for the ghost experience 😊
Thanks for tye roadside video they are my favorite. ❤
Glad to hear thank you so much for watching. Appreciate you.
It's cool that you brought the ghost meter.
Love your videos! I’m from Central Florida currently living on the West Coast.
As always, awesome video!! ❤
Thank you
GREAT VIDEO MR JAY..BE SAFE MY FRIEND 😊
Holy Moly!!! That arm inside that door really weird!! That was amazing when the meter went off when you asked them not to go with you. Maybe they liked your speaking politely to them. Actually would be a good idea for you to have snake boots when you are in that growth. Never can be too careful. Thank you Tampa Jay.
Oh woah 😮❗
My grandfather was from jasper. Relocated to Belle glade Florida
I've been through there about 2 years ago. Stopped for a bit
I was your 666 like is that a sign? Great series love it ➡️
Muahahhahaha thank you
You're right, I was going to say it too, that Mansion reminds me of the haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
I used to live in White Springs, 20 minutes southeast of there...
I missed you again Jay! Would like to meet you when you get back in the Tallahassee area. We use to race go karts west of Jasper. As far as that governor's mansion you need to check out Florida Trailblazer video. The foundation is still standing.

When you got out of the mansion, in the driveway when you were saying you were a Yankee the birds stop chripping. So weird!😱
Woo, early!
Jasper is my hometown. The brick building across the street from the old jail was used to store corn.
Love your town thank you for watching and of the update. Neat they stored corn there
No problem. Thank you for the video!
@TampaJay I did a little digging over the weekend and found out the building was originally a cotton gin, then later used for storage.
If you ever go to Ga , please visit Rome, Ga please visit the Lock Bridge ... its fascinating place
I am sure that was not the only spray can left behind I bet all the others went into the river.
True and sad you’re probably right
The Florida Capitol building is 22 stories high . The top floor is an observation floor where you can view the area in every direction. On a clear day you can see the coast.
I believe I’ve driven by that big red structure a few years ago. Florida has many buildings that are hidden in plain sight, you just have to be on the correct road.

Ive done alot of artwork on that bridge lol.
Oooh, if the walls could talk‼️
Amazing to see just how many of these sort of towns exist all over the US….Loss of Jobs 8 guess So many people have left small towns go the city and not come back
👋Hi, Jay!! Internet says the Suwannee River is the most polluted river in Florida. That explains the strange copper color.
Hey Jay, enjoy your videos. Which old town were you looking for?
The Brooksville Paranormal Investigation Team and I have investigated this jail over night before
My mom ,moms family live In jasper ,whites springs ,wellborn ,lakecity
Don't Go in There.......Great Video
Thank you
That house that was big after the barn where you heard the water dripping actually wasn't that bad inside considering all the overgrowth outside.
You need to check yourself for ticks after wandering through the woods! There’s a tick that causes a kind of gout that can cripple you!!!
Thank you I actually had a tick on me. Got it off quickly. Appreciate the heads up and thanks for watching.
Tampa Jay there was another Civil War battle fought south of Tallahassee. The Battle of Natural Bridge just outside Woodville Fl. Because the Confederates won Tallahassee was the only Capital that didn't fall to the Union
Loved the video....but you make me so nervous walking around in high grass and shrubs wearing sneakers and shorts! I'm so afraid you're going to get too close to a not so friendly snake! 😬😬
“Hello”😂😂😂
💯😎👍❗
Hey brother that’s my old stomping grounds that’s awesome your coming up this way. Fun fact chef art smith is from jasper. What are you doing in tally I live here I can show you around some places.
Sorry I’m replying while watching you your talking about ellaville in Madison wow your right in the area I grew up in
That mansion in Madison is art smiths great grandfathers house
Next town over from Madison is Monticello Florida a big ghost town with a big history
Someone posted a map in the google map comments that the actual Drew mansion was a little south of where the pinned location is shown
For your safety you should have a face mask to wear while in those abandoned homes. More than likely black mold is present amd not good to be exposed to
I’ll keep that in mind thank you
I’ve seen that bridge! I think it was someone else filming . I don’t remember all that paint. Maybe another one.
