UPDATE 4/15/2017 This house was demolished earlier today. All the contents were left inside and are now laying in a pile or rubble. I have drone video coming later this week showing the house being destroyed. ruclips.net/video/iLW644PfkXw/видео.html
JPVideos Thank you for the video. I often wonder why so many useable items aren't recovered and taken to Goodwill or other charities. It seems horribly wasteful to have all these useable things thrown away. Just my opinion.
JPVideos Are these people owners of the homes? And do you explorers have a code or something because I never see you guys take anything from the homes you are exploring. I find it difficult to watch sometimes are you ever tempted?
I spoke to someone who knew one of the families who lived there. This house is now demolished. There are some unwritten rules for exploring that i follow, such as i never break and enter, i leave things how they are and not to take items. There are multiple reasons for it. Have i been tempted? At times but im just happy to get inside to document it.
What a shame that these houses get demolished they could be fixed and used for families in need. But i still wouldn't want to clean them. LOL But everytime I see a singer sewing machine I cry a little bit when you guys walk away.. 😭great work
My stupid relatives did this shit. They left everything in a garage after one of their mothers died. Literally just left hundreds of dollars of items to sit in the sun and rain. Even baby pictures, pots pans, CDs, games, dishes, lotion, anything stupid you can think of was there. The cats and the rats started messing with the boxes. Took me two months but I went through it all throwing away hundreds of dollars of stuff which could have been donated. Then they bitched at me because I threw away their cat pissed on items, WTF. Some people just have no respect for how much stuff cost these days. Half the stuff that got thrown away were games for an Xbox which had melted in the sun. I never grew up with half that stuff that was sitting in the sun and rain being wasted. It's sad to think how some people never stop and think how lucky they are to even have these items at all.
mzombievixen there is a place near where I lived and the woman died about 20 years ago, if not more, and the place is encased in mold but all her belongs still remain. Was kind of creepy exploring it and felt like I was invading someone's home.
Melissa Lamphere Whats really sad is when you have to clean up relatives left up stuff for literally decades. If not my loved one's house would look horrible. I feel guilty throwing away the stuff but most all of the items by the time I showed up were beyond saving. It saddens me to think of my relatives baby pictures being ruined. Moments frozen in time melted in the sun. All you can do is try your best to clean up the environment and make it safe and clean for people to live in. I guess you can not hold on to the past no matter how hard you try. The house I knew and loved will never be as I remember it. No matter how hard I clean up or yell at my family you can not change some people. Shame the house when I left it looked better than it had in twenty years. Yet two months later the boxes and clutter were back.
mzombievixen>>>>That is terrible, people have NO empathy, for their own families things. I have too much sentimental attachment to things....they all bring back memories. Ive had family die, but my mom went through the things when we weren't around. I couldn't imagine just leaving pics an stuff out to get ruined, or just tossing stuff in the trash.....maybe I could donate or give to someone who needed. Sorry to hear, thats awful!! Peace!!
mzombievixen . Your comment rung true with me as I grew up with very little of the "flash stuff"others my age had. But worse is the baby's photos those sort of thing's are priceless and very very precious. I totally agree those of who you speak are stupid!
Update 2/17/17 After making contact with someone who knows one of the families who lived in the house i was able to get some info. This house sits on a busy stretch of road. One side of the house is a busy gas station, the other side lies two more abandoned homes (3 total including this one). The other two have been abandoned for many years. From what i was told, someone purchased all three properties. As to why they left so much behind? We still aren't sure but it seems like they weren't given much time to leave. As for the houses? They will be torn down to make room for businesses. JPVideos
JPVideos that's what I was thinking that maybe they didn't pay their or rent or something and got evicted and just left behind stuff they didn't want or need and to make the move easier.
my aunt Janis was married to my uncle billy for over 40 years. they had 2 lovely girls in their 20's. in one accident, she lost her oldest daughter with her husband (my uncle). sometimes death of a family member, they leave and never come back. my hubby, his parents had bought a house, but split and both abandon the home, and everything in it.
I have been in this situation, not once, but twice. I've had to leave behind everything, because in severe hardships all you care about is your children and yourself. Nothing else matters when you have no place to go. You have a suitcase or bag full of clothes (or whatever will fit in your car) and just go. These people are hopefully okay. Maybe they left the state to go with family for a little while. You cant take everything you own because you cant afford a moving truck or storage unit, you just have to let it go and be happy to be alive to see the sun shine another day.
I have lost a couple homes and I have no family or friends so when I had to leave I had no money or means to move all my stuff so I had to leave everything I had to my name. three times I have had to start all over like this. so I'm guessing it was a similar situation. I know everyone wants to think it's like amityville where they left everything but I think it is simpler than that
Filipinos don't live like that. They are clean people who take pride in their home. If they left in a hurry and took only the necessities - something ran them out - maybe the place was haunted. Not to mention that the trophies are for football - and not a lot of Filipinos are large enough to play football. The pictures show a Caucasian boy.
I used to clean out foreclosed and abandoned houses after a week I wasn't shocked at what people left behind. .seen hundred of houses like this sadly...any out dated or heavy stuff usually gets left ...you name it I have found it...we got paid to clean the stuff out and could keep anything we wanted I used to save everything I could
Anne, yes, when people leave (even their food), it is so sad. This is what happens when people run out of money and have to leave because they were evicted. Sometimes just losing a job will be the cause of a problem like this. Too bad society doesn't have more agencies to help people in this situation. People donate millions for cancer, but for people who don't have a job, there's usually no sympathy.
You should do some more digging on what happened here, this is so strange. With still food left in the fridge, in which some was still fresh? They just packed up and left, still leaving personal effects. I always wonder what happens in these situations of how they leave so quickly and leave behind so much!
Mark DePrimo good possibility, but this is one of three abandoned homes next to each other. I have another video coming Friday showing one of the other homes.
Make sure next time to check about asbestos or lead in walls paint and so on, it may be some chemical around. Thats explained why it didnt took their belongings with them.
Updates are awesome! You are the only one I know who does that. Trying to catch up on all your videos and I gotta say I do like them a lot. Wish I found you sooner.
Well the great thing about RUclips is that my videos arent going anywhere. Just click on my playlists. My videos are categorized for easy viewing. Btw I'm glad you found my channel.
Wow...so much stuff. Makes me sad and angry at the same time. Because they obviously didn't have time to take everything but so much good stuff just left behind. For someone who struggles to afford to buy much for me and my kids it just boggles me how people can leave stuff worth money behind plus the sentimental things like photos etc
Carrie Miller I thought it was haunted because that would have been the only thing that would make me leave that much stuff behind but I'm a scardycat ha ha.
I would like to note that this isn't just one random house. This is on a busy section of street with a business on one side and two more abandoned homes next to it.
JPVideos. hey man from the looks of the house looks to be some kind of government. house probably a group home for kids and teens only reason i say that is cause ive been in two and that house reminds me of them
R Pierce a group home man were the state runs it and is owned by the state the trophies and board with the border that looked like something from a school are what said that to me after being through two of them not exploring living there
Not too sure about the first home, but with that notice it made me think of maybe workers from the business using it or a halfway house, who knows but brilliant find, puzzling and sad at same time
Those medals are from Special Olympics. My step-son is handicapped and has those kind of medals and trophies. Also, with the instructions written and up on the wall, says to me group home for the handicapped.
3:40 wow look at that dressor with mirror and the free standing mirror to match. That's a beautiful find. Wow I love the cabinets in the kitchen I never realized what they looked like but there they are. l lived in home from birth till marriage. Hi Jay. OO
Looks to me like whoever lived there, lived there a very long time. When I sold my house in Jan, I had thirty days to poo adj up a 4 bedroom house of 40 years of living by myself. It took two days to move. There was so much junk left behind. The guys who bought it, told me to leave it because they were gutting the house anyway. It sounds to me like t h at new the house was going to be demolished. They too probably had to be out within a small time frame. It doesn't mean they didn't pay their bills. Maybe the owner sold it to a contracted who wanted to put in a big business. It's not easy packing up after years and years of living.
I rented a house one time and the landlord told me if I would clean it I could have first months rent and deposit waived. I went in and it pretty much looked like this. food, clothes, toys, even a fish tank with a goldfish in it! Found out later the mom was a drug addict she went to jail and child services took the kids. We filled two roll off dumpsters.
joe pimer I was thinking that as well,I clean for landlords but they usually tell me to keep what I want and toss the rest,that place could be a gold mine to whom ever cleans it up
i clean up for a landlord i see this all the time they leav anything they dont neen or want for someone to clean up it sucks sometimes...thats wat i was saying lol
This reminds me of a friend of mine. Her family bought a house when she was a kid. Her mom began to hear things from the upstairs when everyone else was gone. They lived there for three years. One Saturday, they just moved out. They left everything. She told my mom that the woman watched them sleep. We still friends but,she sleeps with the light on. This happen 25yrs ago
I would say that this is a very plausible the reason why people just up and leave! There seems to be a lot of haunted places in the US for some reason.
I used to see this all the time when my dad was in the marines. We stayed on the barracks and people would come and go and leave all behind. The ones that were leaving would ask the neighborhood if they wanted anything.
I've seen a few abandoned house/mansion videos on RUclips videos. It's very strange how so many are similar to this: all their items, including clothing etc. left behind, and the homes totally ransacked as if someone is looking for something specific. Explanations given don't really make sense, especially if a duplex or similar is concerned. For example, there was a huge mansion in England that had been turned into 3 separate apartments - every single apartment was left in this "ransacked" condition. Very Strange.
Not that strange. Repossessions in the UK are sometimes executed by the High Court. The Sheriff's (Bailiffs) turn up without warning and give the people 1 hr to take overnight goods. The people can then arrange to return and remove all their belongings. Many never return. They either have no money for removal or, simply in temporary accommodation have have nowhere to store their stuff. After a given period, they lose their right to collect and the landlord either disposes of it or just leaves it like in this video. Housing priority in the UK is given to immigrants and over 4000 repossessions take place each week. There are currently half a million homes in repossession notice.
Ok i wont say it was OPEN, the video SHOWS that it was open. All the back doors were wide open. You witnessed me walking right in. Thanks for watching though
A really nice house but a sad one!!! It looked like a lifetime of two families belongings left behind!!! Great find Jay and you did an awesome job on this video!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
My son Derek wrestled for hazleton since he was 5 he's now 20 at bloomsburg. He took alll of his metals he won at matches with him. Doing a sport any sport is not just great memories but of great accomplishments. Seeing all those metals broke my heart knowing who's ever kid had these not only were good at what they did but must be incredibly sad for leaving them behind. Hopefully these families are safe. Thanks for the video.
jenntip seriously who did spread all the stuff evenly over all rooms and the floor? even if left in hurry you don't turn your home into a tornado aftermath?
I'm assuming they were probably pissed they had to leave due to the properties being sold. Or.....they are serious hoarders and only took what they could?!? Either way...my skin crawls just looking at the filth..
With some of these abandoned houses and buildings and the constant question, 'What happened to make people leave without taking anything?' Can't help to wonder, personal tragedy, financial reasons, et cetera. Am sure anyone could speculate while watching. Just find it amazing but also disheartening. What befell the former residents of the homes viewed, could happen to anyone. Enjoyed this vid.
The previous owners did not pay their bills. as in the mortgage, the bank sold the property and then the previous owners were given a notice on a friday that they had to be out by monday because the property had been sold and they no longer owned the house. Happened to a neighbor of mine after they did not pay the mortgage for 6 or 8 months.
Did you know the family or landlord? If so i would definitely like to speak more privately. I have spoken to someone who knows one of the families personally and this situation is very intriguing to me.
No I was just offering my opinion, as to why they left so much behind, and based on your comment that the properties were just purchased it fits that they were told to be out in a short time so they grabbed everything that was important to them and left. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
This was excellent. I'm glad you told us what happened. The government took the houses I guess, or rezoned them. This is actually being determined in a court if the governments can continue to do this I am told.
That's what I was thinking! How can you have that much STUFF? And I thought I needed to clean out my stuff I've been taking with me for 25 years! I ain't got shit!
Our home of 21 years nearly foreclosed a year ago in October. We were separated and I was living elsewhere. Our home was listed the end of August and sold Sept 1st and we agreed on a Sept 28 closing. Sept 6th my husband (51 w/no know health issues) unexpectedly passed away and then I had to plan and have his funeral. Had I not had droves of help from family, friends and friends of friends - I don't know what I would have done. I couldn't take most of it to my apartment and we set stuff outside and posted free items on marketplace (strangers going through our things was awful but I didn't want to throw usable items away) we made trips to the recycle center and dump. I was in shock all of September last year as were our kids. If I hadn't had all the help - I would've had to walk away. Before going through all that, I wondered how it could happen too.
I can’t believe all those trophies and medals were just left. The owners could have just taken them. They represent someone’s accomplishments. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
It is sad that no one of authority took the items that were salvageable and gave them to charity. Houses like this with so many personal contents makes me wonder if they were in some type of trouble and left in a hurry to avoid what was going to happen to them.
what is sad is that I have been forced to leave quickly do to life events in the past...leaving only with what we could fit in a rented SUV...and that was a blessing to even leave with that much stuff because we were originally only packing like six suit cases and taking the train...but we had to leave so many things and memory's behind to escape a bad family situation... but I can tell ya that I can bet that a lot of that stuff was left behind unwillingly...
I have seen properties like this before. It's usually a story like this; some girl has a few kids and then the parents break up. She goes on welfare, gets HUD to pay her rent. Then comes the meth head boyfriend that weasels his way into moving in. Before you know it he is either cooking meth in the home or dealing some other kind of drugs. The whole situation gets real bad. The mother and boyfriend pay no attention to the kids. Sleeze bag freeloaders are in and out of the place day and night. Eventually either drug dealers come and trash the place because the boyfriend has not been paying up or the police get involved....or both. You should be careful in places that look like that. If meth has been cooked in there the place is toxic. The toxic fumes cannot be gotten out of the premise. Usually the place has to be either gutted or torn down. People have died who moved into building like that. You can't smell it so it's difficult to tell if it's there. Sometimes the landlord tries to clean the place up but the place still has toxins in the walls, ceilings, and floors and the new renter gets sick but doesn't know why. It's difficult to diagnose. Look it up. Between mold in old homes and meth you probably should wear some kind of respiratory protection.
Interesting and strange with all those belongings left behind including the fresh grapes. The funky music really set the tone for the video. Nice u could get some info at least on the house.
Just a bit of constructive criticism.. slow down a little and take more time to show what's in each room.. Otherwise great video :) Sad to see all this stuff left behind:/
thats something i always try to improve on. some of my older videos were bad lol. i also didn't want to spend too much time inside as it's in a busy section of town. thanks for watching.
These homes seemed to be a work in progress. The second side looks as though they started to pack up but never had a chance. Very sad to see all the medals and awards left behind
A double house abandoned. My God, such a waste. I just don't understand when everything is left there. Starting a fresh. Insane. How long had it been abandoned ? Unbelievable 🌹💖🌹
JP, I know this video was 4 years old. But I totally wish we could've taken those medals and trophies with you and found the owner. But then again, its hard beca you were in the house so, its a catch 22. Its just so sad to me that that kid that worked and trained SO hard for those had to up and leave those, and most likely due to his parents lack of responsibility to pay rent/mortgage. Good find though!
Eerie and fascinating.Thank you for sharing this.Good work,by the way. Must have kind of creeped you out and made you a little sad at some points.Wish the families could get at least their photos , trophies and medals back. I figured it had to be something like what you found out.I could see one side being evicted for non payment but not both at the same time.
I have always asked myself the same question leave everything behind without taking anything? It will be that they are not land people and they are here for a while. while their world is arranged and they come looking for them? there must be a reason but as we do not know the answer it will always remain a mystery O_o do not go alone to those abandoned places, always go with someone else you do not know what you can find there although the house is abandoned... just saying O_o
I like that the video is 11:11 for starters..Do any of the neighbors know what happened to either family? When I was 9 we moved into a house that also contained all the personal effects, clothes, paperwork, birth certificates, so many important things. We were soon to find out the house was..let's just say not empty..Great shoot!
This is one of three abandoned houses all in a row, and next to it is a business. I'm going to have to a little research for my own curiosity to see what may have happened.
I'm curious about the student of the (couldn't tell if it was week or month) poster on the wall. Also there were multiple port-a-cribs right outside the room. Could be there was a family daycare there or kids were home schooled. There seemed to be multiple cribs upstairs. The instructions on the wall were strange, It also seems they were working on repairs at one point and there are the new fence posts. Any chance you found mail or school papers with names? This video left me with many questions. If you happen to know any DPW workers, ask them.
Wow!!!! To leave that much of your belongings behind, especially those metals that someone had to work hard for is just sad!!!! It does seem like they didn't have time to even think of what to do, where they were going to live.... but normally I don't see anyone leaving that much of their "prized" possessions behind. As a Mom and Grandma, I would sure as heck make sure my daughter and grandbabies take such items.
Since the two houses next to it were purchased also, perhaps the people were offered good money to sell to a developer. I've known people who buy a new home and then sell all their old stuff to buy new for the new home. Then they leave everything they don't want behind for someone else to take care of. So many of these abandoned places have good things in them that could be used by someone in need. It's sad!
JPVideos I think I know which houseboy is. I run that way in the summer. I use to see people sitting on the porch. I didn't know it was abandoned. Might have to take a walk.
Sometimes corporations can be heartless and not consider the people involved. I don't know how much time these families were given but it takes money to move. The price of a moving van ( for this much stuff ) , finding and renting a new place, and paying for storage for the excess. They may not have been able to afford such a big undertaking in a short time. Like you said it really is a mystery. ( Then to have it all pushed into a heap ? ....sad )
AI don't agree with comments about witness protection as tragedy strikes from all angles when it comes to abandoned properties such as drugs,finance, multiple deaths etc etc ....I feel for anybody that has to leave their lives unforeseen,its sad .....
@@JPVideos81 I knew someone who worked with black mold and other kinds of mold if that was found you have to leave everything behind and get out or get very sick
Often you have very little time to find a suitable place to move to if you sell to a developer, I had a friend who had to sell her place in a deal like that and she had to stay in a hotel for 3 months before she could find a decent place to rent. she lost everything. Its sad that that is sometimes the way.
people must have money to leave all of that stuff it looks like lots of different things in each room s can be used or give to people who can't afford stuff
UPDATE 4/15/2017
This house was demolished earlier today. All the contents were left inside and are now laying in a pile or rubble. I have drone video coming later this week showing the house being destroyed.

@@laurakelly5911 God bless.
BS, You don't leave everything behind just for the kids!!! You take everything and not leave everything behind like that, ADULTS come FIRST.
I love how there is always cleaning supplies around but the houses are filthy beyond dusty from sitting
Very true
I have lost a couple homes and I have no family or friends so when I had to leave I had no money or means to move all my stuff so I had to leave everything I had to my name. three times I have had to start all over like this. so I'm guessing it was a similar situation.

The children's medals and trophy's left behind, broke my heart.
mine too.
Juliann Henn im from Philippines those medals looks like from my country.i think filipinos owned that house.😔
Filipinos don't live like that. They are clean people who take pride in their home. If they left in a hurry and took only the necessities - something ran them out - maybe the place was haunted. Not to mention that the trophies are for football - and not a lot of Filipinos are large enough to play football. The pictures show a Caucasian boy.

Bullshit

Even good food!!!!So they go to the next home with nothing?? Just unbelievable.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Foreclosure and Bank Repossession...
Mark DePrimo good possibility, but this is one of three abandoned homes next to each other. I have another video coming Friday showing one of the other homes.
Mark DePrimo If that is the case, maybe they shouldn't have spent their money on the gobs of junk and paid their mortgage instead.
Mark DePrimo give me a break mr. citizen.
Make sure next time to check about asbestos or lead in walls paint and so on, it may be some chemical around. Thats explained why it didnt took their belongings with them.
I hadn't considered that until now, but you're probably right.

I would like to note that this isn't just one random house. This is on a busy section of street with a business on one side and two more abandoned homes next to it.
JPVideos. hey man from the looks of the house looks to be some kind of government. house probably a group home for kids and teens only reason i say that is cause ive been in two and that house reminds me of them
What is a government house?
R Pierce a group home man were the state runs it and is owned by the state the trophies and board with the border that looked like something from a school are what said that to me after being through two of them not exploring living there
Not too sure about the first home, but with that notice it made me think of maybe workers from the business using it or a halfway house, who knows but brilliant find, puzzling and sad at same time
Those medals are from Special Olympics. My step-son is handicapped and has those kind of medals and trophies. Also, with the instructions written and up on the wall, says to me group home for the handicapped.
it looks like this is the remains of a search warrant...
Connie Crawford exactly my thoughts
Connie Crawford families would not tear up the couch ....people looking for shit do though
Lol you can tell they had a teenager due to the Hot Topic bags
3:40 wow look at that dressor with mirror and the free standing mirror to match. That's a beautiful find. Wow I love the cabinets in the kitchen I never realized what they looked like but there they are. l lived in home from birth till marriage. Hi Jay. OO
These houses would keep Goodwill running for many years .
I agree with that statement
Looks to me like whoever lived there, lived there a very long time. When I sold my house in Jan, I had thirty days to poo adj up a 4 bedroom house of 40 years of living by myself. It took two days to move. There was so much junk left behind. The guys who bought it, told me to leave it because they were gutting the house anyway. It sounds to me like t h at new the house was going to be demolished. They too probably had to be out within a small time frame. It doesn't mean they didn't pay their bills. Maybe the owner sold it to a contracted who wanted to put in a big business. It's not easy packing up after years and years of living.
Wow, it really got messed up for such a short time! If it got demolished that's even sadder, makes you really wonder,, thx for sharing
I rented a house one time and the landlord told me if I would clean it I could have first months rent and deposit waived. I went in and it pretty much looked like this. food, clothes, toys, even a fish tank with a goldfish in it! Found out later the mom was a drug addict she went to jail and child services took the kids. We filled two roll off dumpsters.
they won the power ball LOL
Kenneth Sprouse exactly what I was thinking
this is wat landlords have to clead up when tenits leve in a hurry with out paying rent..
joe pimer I was thinking that as well,I clean for landlords but they usually tell me to keep what I want and toss the rest,that place could be a gold mine to whom ever cleans it up
we have alot of forclosers around hear good way to make fast $$
joe pimer What* Tenants* Without* Clean*
i clean up for a landlord i see this all the time they leav anything they dont neen or want for someone to clean up it sucks sometimes...thats wat i was saying lol
Very cool video and find! Good work man!(:
thank you
This reminds me of a friend of mine. Her family bought a house when she was a kid. Her mom began to hear things from the upstairs when everyone else was gone. They lived there for three years. One Saturday, they just moved out. They left everything. She told my mom that the woman watched them sleep. We still friends but,she sleeps with the light on. This happen 25yrs ago
creepy
I would say that this is a very plausible the reason why people just up and leave! There seems to be a lot of haunted places in the US for some reason.
I used to see this all the time when my dad was in the marines. We stayed on the barracks and people would come and go and leave all behind. The ones that were leaving would ask the neighborhood if they wanted anything.
All those vacuum cleaners...they must be in good shape, as they were never used!
I've seen a few abandoned house/mansion videos on RUclips videos. It's very strange how so many are similar to this: all their items, including clothing etc. left behind, and the homes totally ransacked as if someone is looking for something specific. Explanations given don't really make sense, especially if a duplex or similar is concerned. For example, there was a huge mansion in England that had been turned into 3 separate apartments - every single apartment was left in this "ransacked" condition. Very Strange.
Not that strange. Repossessions in the UK are sometimes executed by the High Court. The Sheriff's (Bailiffs) turn up without warning and give the people 1 hr to take overnight goods. The people can then arrange to return and remove all their belongings. Many never return. They either have no money for removal or, simply in temporary accommodation have have nowhere to store their stuff. After a given period, they lose their right to collect and the landlord either disposes of it or just leaves it like in this video. Housing priority in the UK is given to immigrants and over 4000 repossessions take place each week. There are currently half a million homes in repossession notice.
Im honestly surprised JP didnt take anything. A lot of that stuff in there would sell on ebay for a great deal of money.
It's not mine to take, whoever owns the house now owns the contents. I simply document my findings.
so you only break and enter?
n don't say it was 'OPEN'
Ok i wont say it was OPEN, the video SHOWS that it was open. All the back doors were wide open. You witnessed me walking right in. Thanks for watching though
A really nice house but a sad one!!! It looked like a lifetime of two families belongings left behind!!! Great find Jay and you did an awesome job on this video!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
I could believe how much was left behind. Was certainly an interesting explore.
@@JPVideos81 yes very interesting!!!
I realize that this vid is a couple years old, but I must say that I really miss your narration :-)
Yeah, i wasn't too keen on talking back then haha.
My son Derek wrestled for hazleton since he was 5 he's now 20 at bloomsburg. He took alll of his metals he won at matches with him. Doing a sport any sport is not just great memories but of great accomplishments. Seeing all those metals broke my heart knowing who's ever kid had these not only were good at what they did but must be incredibly sad for leaving them behind. Hopefully these families are safe. Thanks for the video.
One of the things we may never know the answer to, esp since the house has been demolished.
Shoot...I would have left too if my house looked like that!
jenntip lol
jenntip seriously who did spread all the stuff evenly over all rooms and the floor? even if left in hurry you don't turn your home into a tornado aftermath?
cuz it does not look like vandals were in since there is tools and wine not stolen
I'm assuming they were probably pissed they had to leave due to the properties being sold. Or.....they are serious hoarders and only took what they could?!? Either way...my skin crawls just looking at the filth..
Why would anyone abandoned that house? Shit I want s house 😡
Great video. Thanks for the update.
thank you
Wow, what a cool place!!!!
When you opened the fridge I was thinking of the scene from Resident Evil 7
cool video, JUST watched n liked!!
i appreciate it, thanks
That's a beautiful dresser and mirror at 3:43. So sad for them to be destroyed with the house!
With some of these abandoned houses and buildings and the constant question, 'What happened to make people leave without taking anything?' Can't help to wonder, personal tragedy, financial reasons, et cetera. Am sure anyone could speculate while watching. Just find it amazing but also disheartening. What befell the former residents of the homes viewed, could happen to anyone.
Enjoyed this vid.
It is so distressing to me when you see children's things and you know children lived there. Sad
The previous owners did not pay their bills. as in the mortgage, the bank sold the property and then the previous owners were given a notice on a friday that they had to be out by monday because the property had been sold and they no longer owned the house. Happened to a neighbor of mine after they did not pay the mortgage for 6 or 8 months.
Did you know the family or landlord? If so i would definitely like to speak more privately. I have spoken to someone who knows one of the families personally and this situation is very intriguing to me.
No I was just offering my opinion, as to why they left so much behind, and based on your comment that the properties were just purchased it fits that they were told to be out in a short time so they grabbed everything that was important to them and left. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
No problem, that does seem to fit the mold. Thanks for commenting.
This was excellent. I'm glad you told us what happened. The government took the houses I guess, or rezoned them. This is actually being determined in a court if the governments can continue to do this I am told.
Something about that house didnt feel right. To many personal items left....so sad
Liked your video. Thanks
Thanks for watcing
great video JP man they just got up and left that place great vid bro liked
crazy that they left all that behind
I gotta be honest man, you do the only exploration videos correctly. normally there's a bunch of dumb selfies and over talking. 10/10 best explorer
thank you for the kind words. check out my Abandoned Remains playlist to see my other videos.
JPVideos I've been watching them all today ^_^, and will continue at work tomorrow
i greatly appreciate the support
You have to wonder if some of these people we're half way hoarders. There is just too much stuff to even be put up neatly
That's what I was thinking! How can you have that much STUFF? And I thought I needed to clean out my stuff I've been taking with me for 25 years! I ain't got shit!
Big building! Places like this make me want to get in there and clean. LOL Too bad it was torn down.
Our home of 21 years nearly foreclosed a year ago in October. We were separated and I was living elsewhere. Our home was listed the end of August and sold Sept 1st and we agreed on a Sept 28 closing. Sept 6th my husband (51 w/no know health issues) unexpectedly passed away and then I had to plan and have his funeral. Had I not had droves of help from family, friends and friends of friends - I don't know what I would have done. I couldn't take most of it to my apartment and we set stuff outside and posted free items on marketplace (strangers going through our things was awful but I didn't want to throw usable items away) we made trips to the recycle center and dump. I was in shock all of September last year as were our kids. If I hadn't had all the help - I would've had to walk away. Before going through all that, I wondered how it could happen too.
I can’t believe all those trophies and medals were just left. The owners could have just taken them. They represent someone’s accomplishments. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I just found your channel and subscribed. Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
It is sad that no one of authority took the items that were salvageable and gave them to charity. Houses like this with so many personal contents makes me wonder if they were in some type of trouble and left in a hurry to avoid what was going to happen to them.
Sadly we never got any real answers.
Another good one, kinda creepy
that was well worth the visit . you will not beat that house . Its a tough one
thanks
These comments are VERY fascinating to read! Great video and super reads by everybody.
Great exploration
Thank you
Damn, I'll take that wingback chair ... and the guitar ... Cool vid, thanks!
what is sad is that I have been forced to leave quickly do to life events in the past...leaving only with what we could fit in a rented SUV...and that was a blessing to even leave with that much stuff because we were originally only packing like six suit cases and taking the train...but we had to leave so many things and memory's behind to escape a bad family situation... but I can tell ya that I can bet that a lot of that stuff was left behind unwillingly...
This was a good find. Not seen before.
I have seen properties like this before. It's usually a story like this; some girl has a few kids and then the parents break up. She goes on welfare, gets HUD to pay her rent. Then comes the meth head boyfriend that weasels his way into moving in. Before you know it he is either cooking meth in the home or dealing some other kind of drugs. The whole situation gets real bad. The mother and boyfriend pay no attention to the kids. Sleeze bag freeloaders are in and out of the place day and night. Eventually either drug dealers come and trash the place because the boyfriend has not been paying up or the police get involved....or both. You should be careful in places that look like that. If meth has been cooked in there the place is toxic. The toxic fumes cannot be gotten out of the premise. Usually the place has to be either gutted or torn down. People have died who moved into building like that. You can't smell it so it's difficult to tell if it's there. Sometimes the landlord tries to clean the place up but the place still has toxins in the walls, ceilings, and floors and the new renter gets sick but doesn't know why. It's difficult to diagnose. Look it up. Between mold in old homes and meth you probably should wear some kind of respiratory protection.
Ellie L Wow! Awfully detailed of a story not to be a personal one! Lol!
Judge much?
Interesting and strange with all those belongings left behind including the fresh grapes. The funky music really set the tone for the video. Nice u could get some info at least on the house.
Thanks rebecca
Usually when my house gets that messy, I just clean it up. These people just packed what they could and took off.
4:48 that stairwell would make me dizzy.
Did you notice the foosball table next to the piano? How could anyone leave that much valuable stuff behind? That's just crazy!
Just a bit of constructive criticism.. slow down a little and take more time to show what's in each room.. Otherwise great video :) Sad to see all this stuff left behind:/
thats something i always try to improve on. some of my older videos were bad lol. i also didn't want to spend too much time inside as it's in a busy section of town. thanks for watching.
I like the tile in the bathroom. So much stuff just left behind
Thank you JP
They probably just went on a holiday. Big surprise when they return 😂
lol
Hahahahahhah
Is it just me or does anyone else ask themselves “why did people go crazy with the wild wallpapers ?”
Apparently the family in the second side of the house loved the color purple. Nice paint job in every room....
Gr8 vid n AGREED VERY STRANGE
thanks for watching man
This house is a trip! It's hard to tell if it's been vandalized or not!
great video. great find. If they were gone. about a third of that crap would have been mine.
thank you
I would love to take like the electronics
These homes seemed to be a work in progress. The second side looks as though they started to pack up but never had a chance. Very sad to see all the medals and awards left behind
A double house abandoned. My God, such a waste. I just don't understand when everything is left there. Starting a fresh. Insane. How long had it been abandoned ? Unbelievable 🌹💖🌹
JP, I know this video was 4 years old. But I totally wish we could've taken those medals and trophies with you and found the owner. But then again, its hard beca you were in the house so, its a catch 22. Its just so sad to me that that kid that worked and trained SO hard for those had to up and leave those, and most likely due to his parents lack of responsibility to pay rent/mortgage. Good find though!
Eerie and fascinating.Thank you for sharing this.Good work,by the way. Must have kind of creeped you out and made you a little sad at some points.Wish the families could get at least their photos , trophies and medals back. I figured it had to be something like what you found out.I could see one side being evicted for non payment but not both at the same time.
I just subscribed
thank you
I have always asked myself the same question leave everything behind without taking anything? It will be that they are not land people and they are here for a while. while their world is arranged and they come looking for them? there must be a reason but as we do not know the answer it will always remain a mystery O_o do not go alone to those abandoned places,
always go with someone else you do not know what you can find there although the house is abandoned... just saying O_o
Footsteps at 4:44??? Creepy!!!
I like that the video is 11:11 for starters..Do any of the neighbors know what happened to either family? When I was 9 we moved into a house that also contained all the personal effects, clothes, paperwork, birth certificates, so many important things. We were soon to find out the house was..let's just say not empty..Great shoot!
This is one of three abandoned houses all in a row, and next to it is a business. I'm going to have to a little research for my own curiosity to see what may have happened.
Cool! Can't wait to hear the back story! Another great find..
i'll keep you posted
I'm curious about the student of the (couldn't tell if it was week or month) poster on the wall. Also there were multiple port-a-cribs right outside the room. Could be there was a family daycare there or kids were home schooled. There seemed to be multiple cribs upstairs. The instructions on the wall were strange, It also seems they were working on repairs at one point and there are the new fence posts. Any chance you found mail or school papers with names? This video left me with many questions. If you happen to know any DPW workers, ask them.

Very good thoughts!
This video wast of time ,they have not surch the history of the house ,they did not get in the rooms ,no close up shots .
What a shame families can be forced out without much notice, especially when there's children involved.
Wow!!!! To leave that much of your belongings behind, especially those metals that someone had to work hard for is just sad!!!! It does seem like they didn't have time to even think of what to do, where they were going to live.... but normally I don't see anyone leaving that much of their "prized" possessions behind. As a Mom and Grandma, I would sure as heck make sure my daughter and grandbabies take such items.
I was shocked to see them still there.
How sad all these thimgs should have been donated to help the needy how wasteful some people can be
Hard to believe that either half of that house was recently inhabited. Who lives like that??
You would be amazed to know who does
it happen one time in my hometown a family left every thing behind to never to come back strange people with no ties
Since the two houses next to it were purchased also, perhaps the people were offered good money to sell to a developer. I've known people who buy a new home and then sell all their old stuff to buy new for the new home. Then they leave everything they don't want behind for someone else to take care of. So many of these abandoned places have good things in them that could be used by someone in need. It's sad!
Very cool.
bet you didnt know this was so close to you
JPVideos I think I know which houseboy is. I run that way in the summer. I use to see people sitting on the porch. I didn't know it was abandoned. Might have to take a walk.
Interesting and strange how so much was left and yet so messy and destroyed it looked!
Sometimes corporations can be heartless and not consider the people involved. I don't know how much time these families were given but it takes money to move. The price of a moving van ( for this much stuff ) , finding and renting a new place, and paying for storage for the excess. They may not have been able to afford such a big undertaking in a short time. Like you said it really is a mystery. ( Then to have it all pushed into a heap ? ....sad )
awesome vid
thank you
my god I wish I was in that house so I can go through all of the stuff to see what is in the house
AI don't agree with comments about witness protection as tragedy strikes from all angles when it comes to abandoned properties such as drugs,finance, multiple deaths etc etc ....I feel for anybody that has to leave their lives unforeseen,its sad .....
The "Guitar Mystery house", I think I counted at least 3hree acoustic guitars in amongst all that mess, incredible
I'd run from that mess too! I think I counted about 7 vacuum cleaners among the mess. HA!
Christy M They didn't look like that when the families abandoned them
Clearly been ransacked
Kinda cool vids and intriguing. Where's exactly location of this place? What happen? Any updates
projemalbz pars read the pinned comment
@@JPVideos81 I knew someone who worked with black mold and other kinds of mold if that was found you have to leave everything behind and get out or get very sick
Often you have very little time to find a suitable place to move to if you sell to a developer, I had a friend who had to sell her place in a deal like that and she had to stay in a hotel for 3 months before she could find a decent place to rent. she lost everything. Its sad that that is sometimes the way.
Sad to hear they were demolished with the contents - That's ages of family history lost for some one -
people must have money to leave all of that stuff it looks like lots of different things in each room s can be used or give to people who can't afford stuff
I wish i could have found an abandoned house full of cool stuff! I would have taken soo much!!
Why would you take something that wasn't yours?
This is called stealing!
