STORY
This abandoned mansion stands tall and proud, a relic of the hard work and determination of the Sinquett family. As we walked through its halls, the eerie feeling that lingered in the air was undeniable. Our task was to document and catalog the contents of the house, but as we delved deeper, we uncovered the captivating story of the family that once called it home.
Carrie Sinquett, a fierce single mother, raised her three children, Ken, Sue, and Samantha, within these walls. Despite the numerous obstacles she faced, she never wavered in her commitment to her family. She worked tirelessly as a laboratory assistant in Mobile while also single-handedly running the household. Her unwavering love and guidance were the backbone of her children's upbringing.
As the children grew older and left the nest, Carrie found herself alone in the house. Medical documents and a health card addressed to Carrie, were found leading us to believe that she was in poor health and possibly passed away. The last date we found inside the house was September 24, 2010, and her fate after that remains a mystery.
The house now remains empty, a silent witness to the life of the Sinquett family. Its walls hold secrets and memories that will forever remain untold. We couldn't help but wonder what happened to Carrie and what other secrets the households had. Join us as we take you on a journey through this abandoned mansion and uncover the story of the Sinquett family.

I read Carrie Siquett's obituary online. She left this house in 2014 at age 96 and died in a nursing home at age 98 in 2016. She and her husband had been married for more than 50 years when he passed away. She had three children: Nancy, Joan, and Frank Jr. Many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Most of the info you shared was incorrect, but your video is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Here's a tip. If you find a name in the houses you explore, a Google search can often yield a trove of information you can share with your viewers.
I thought something was wrong. Her own children were probably in their 70s when she died. I still think it's sad nobody wanted any of the pictures. I do a lot of googling. It was a great tour, and he is very respectful.
@Rene Young Yes. He is always respectful. She died surrounded by family, according to her obituary. That photos get left behind is unthinkable.
Awe great information on the family! She lived long life
I wish he would look up these people. It’s so easy because I do the same thing after watching the videos.
@@annlyon.2040 I agree. It's easy to find the true story.
The blanket over the antique couch serves a few purposes. First it acts as an accent to the piece of furniture. Secondly, if you're sitting there and get a chill you can simply pull the cover/blanket over you without having to get up.
The record player...yal made me crack up!!!! You can play both size records on the top one. You put the small record on, as you did, turn it on and it automatically drops and plays. The brush on the lower record player was to clean any dust off them. The red thing on the is removable to play the bigger records
Hopefully, Ms. Carrie is resting in peace, wherever she is. ❤
Hi Lesley & Danny, New Jersey, USA...Carrie her husband died, & she raised her 3 children & when they were old enough they left &
Carrie stayed in house till 2014 age 96 & then moved to Nursing Home & died age 98!!
I know in Belgium, things are different then USA! But when talking about items in house...the item first you said was Ventilator,
but No a Old Fan..probably 1950`s in the Basement! In Kitchen is Not Ventilator from Ceiling, it`s called Light & Ceiling Fan!!
The Beautiful Chandelier, yes hardly anyone has them in houses today, unless your a Millionaire!
All the clothes & things were Vandalism of people searching for Valuables!!
The small Piano was for Child to play till old enough to play on Big Piano! Beautiful Big Piano!!
Loved the Acrylic Painting of Ducks flying! Blankets are tossed on couches as Decorations, they still do that now 2023!!
The Children`s pictures in the Snow Globes, still sell today especially Amazon online store & all it needs is water filled, it
unscrew at bottom, to either fill with water or change pictures! The Paper Wreath was Not for Funeral, it was a Decoration!
Small Black Box is a Personal Heater, for maybe at desk or in bathroom!
In Bathroom, was a Washcloth for Face hanging on the Sink, Not a Towel!
On Bed was a Handmade Crochet Blanket, someone made for her!
Small Record Player is for Records called 45`s, & tiny brush is to clean dust from records!
Bedroom where you found Sewing Box, Sewing Machine Cabinet was under TV...You Missed It!
Attic, but changed into rooms, Girl Scout Bed is also called Cot from Military times to homeowners having it!
So many things can be Sold for the Children Now Adults, or if Bank pulls it, they will sell furniture & sell house!
Thanks Lesley & Danny for sharing this Beautiful Abandoned House In USA, take care & stay safe!!
Love from Central Illinois USA🥰😎❤
Every time i watched these videos i turned sad because of the children that didn't save these beautiful houses, i understand totally that children when they grow they will have their lives but no one with them consider or think to renew the houses at least for the memories that holds or even for the family reunion on holidays. Children should consider these things because for me my parents and their house will be the precious home forever even i am not living in it. I do consider and think always for my mom and dad who worked so hard to have the house and i am really teaching my daughter at least to appreciate this in her life.
Hi Lesley, people puts blankets on the back of the coach so if they get cold they can just grab it and put it around them
Exactly! That's what I was going to tell Lesley, but I looked for this comment. 🙂
I cover my furniture because I have pets that shed or sleep on the couch and chairs. When someone comes over I take off the coverings and then the guests don't have fur all over them. Also a throw blanket handy if someone is cold.
The animal furs you saw on the atms of the couch were actually mink stoles from the early 1900s. Women would wear them around their neck or shoulders over their coats. I remember as a child finding them in the closets of my great grandmother's house. She was a milliner in the late 1800- early 1900s
Gosh I didn’t know they where that old because I have one that I’ve had for 50 years.
My grandparents in Ohio, USA, used to have a fireplace in the basement. Grandpa used to make metal chimes and grew cooking mushrooms down there and would light it to keep it warm while he worked. It was also lit when it was winter and the power went out. The animals were actually wrapped around your neck as a stoll. More than likely, the mouth opened up as a clamp to clamp on the tail. Great grandma a few of them. It was a symbol of money in the 1920s through 50s.
My grandmother had a mink stole and a full length coat (she was 5'11"). She was a model in New York in the 1920s.
@@softkitty775 oh my gosh! I would love to have seen her.
I get so depressed watching these but yet they are so wonderful. Hard to think of the lives that lived there, no longer there or among us. Life is so strange. Here and gone. Your stuff end up on eBay or in a yard sale all you’ve worked for. 50 years down the road you are forgotten.
My god, this is exactly how I feel.
Your last sentence feels me sadness and dread.
@@rdred8693 Such is life. We're nothing but a speck of dust in the universe.
I love Lesley’s heart felt emotion when he tries to piece together the lives that may have thrived in these homes. No one could know for sure what took place unless they were there, of course, so I find the loving outlook he always lays on top of his narration is heartwarming. For me it just adds a humanity and empathy to the situation. Maybe the details aren’t always spot on but you can tell he cares about what he is seeing. :)❤
She lived to age 98 and passed away in 2016 in a local nursing home. I found her obituary on line. The house actually was sold last December as it was part of her estate. The property records were on line also.
Merci pour ces renseignements 😊
Thanks for sharing these details
so the house and contents belong to someone and he must have to get permission to enter otherwise its trespassing, no?
Carrie (Caroline) died in 2016 at the blessed age of 98. Her husband died in 1988 aged 73. By then they already raised their children and the photos with the small children must be their grandchildren which correspondences with their grandchildren names in the obit. Te last years of her life she lived in an elderly care home.
@@BlueSky-LookingUp if 👎 not sad if they didn't
HI!!! The blankets on the backs of the couches are just for decoration. A lot of times women would get an Afghan blanket given to them and they display it on the back of the couch. When you tell the story of the people that lived in the houses you explore, really takes you back in your mind of how they lived. It is a beautiful story you tell us. Thank you for getting messy and walking into cobwebs!!!! 😉😉 It's just a shame that the families just leave these homes like this and not clean them out. There are a lot of heirlooms left behind. Have a great day!!!! (what country are you from?)
Leslie, I could listen to you talk all day, lol. Love your explorations and the stories behind them. I wonder why her children left all those memories behind to rot away.
probably cause they didn't care or they couldn't bare it but in that matter they could have taken at least something 🤷 🙃 of their parents with them
she had a beautiful house and she kept it up
LESLEY and DANNY, Thank you both for all the time and work you both put into these explores and videos. I pray for your safety and health in your travels to treat us with such visual beauty and amazement. Keep up the great work. Love, LIly
I’m always confused why the grandkids or great grandchildren didn’t take the older antiques!
It’s so sad to see everything just rotting.
The cost of a home today is insane and someone should’ve inherited.
Unfortunately most people don't give a fat rats.They are only interested in the here and the now and mass produced consumerist modern garbage.No appreciation of quality or history.
depend where your work is, if its far away, then its not economical to live in that area. Also, a big house cost high maintenance, needs more hand to work or money to maintain. what if his was already sold? most children work in the city, thats why they will not come home to their house.
Her obituary is actually very detailed and full of info
So sad that the lady was left alone in her later years why don't family take the photos instead of leaving them behind great film guys thank you for sharing.
I love how you treat these properties and the memories of the former occupants with such respect. I also love how you weave a story about these people as you go along. You are my favorite explorer. Keep up the good work!
What a lovely lady and tidy house. It needs life and love so bad. Somebody please buy and appreciate it again! You all did another beautiful job on this one and welcome to the US. Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi are full of these. But please be careful. Love y'all! 🧡 🙏
I don’t understand how houses like this are left abandoned. She obviously had children and grandchildren. Why would they not have an estate sale to sell the contents of the house, then sell the house to a new family that would love it and take care of it. Why would they just allow it to sit there and rot?
It allways amazes me how fast things get into decay. It shows we need to keep a house warm and dry, otherwise the wooden floors and ceilings can get rotten, and the house falls apart. Thank you for honoring the people who lived there. I can't but also feel sad of how time passes by and people are no longer among us, only the house and pictures to remind us..Carrie must have been a remarkable woman, raising up three kids on her own...thx again!!
It’s amazing to me all the things people leave behind
Leslie, you have such a soothing voice. I love your videos. In order for the record to play, it must be turned on and the record will drop automatically. You can stack several records on the cylinder. How in the world do you find the houses??? Be safe on your journeys.
What a lovely home from a loving mother!
Her real name was Caroline, Carrie for short. I believe the photos shown were of her daughter Nancy. There is an obituary as others have said.
It's just sad to think that a mother or father will be left alone in their old age.
What a cozy house 🏠. I enjoyed this explore. RIP 😞 😔 😢 🙏 🕊 ☮ Carrie and her husband.
And it still has power wow someone is paying fo that
I decided to look up this lady's name and Just found out she literally liveslived just 5 minutes down the road from me. I'm definitely gonna be going By the house to check it out this afternoon! I was not expecting For this to be So close to home for me!
Hello Lesley, i look forward to another ELEGANT tour of yet another human's journey 😁! You and Danny are by far the best explorer's I've watched on RUclips, and believe me when I say, I've watched A LOT 👥 Keep up the great work guys!!!
another brilliant video! you guys are fantastic x
A blanket on the back of the couch is when you are lounging on the couch and get chilled, you cover up with the blanket. Especially, nap time! The little piano is a toy for children to play with. The fake logs in the fireplace are what is used for a gas assisted fire. There is usually a metal key that is inserted to turn the gas on and then you light it with a long match. The wreath is made out of shaved wood, Americans decorate their front doors with wreaths, especially at Christmas. Antique radio from the 1940's. The records go down to play when you start the phonograph, it triggers the record to spin and drop and the arm swings over the record automatically. She might have rented out the top floor of the house after the children left the house. Wow! Girl Scout cot! Awesome! I volunteered as a Girl Scout Leader and I still volunteer every summer for the week long day camp, I am the Craft coordinator.
Thank you Leslie and Danny!
I truly appreciate and admire the respect you have when filming these homes. I also like the fact that you have background information pertaining to the homes you explore.
Leslie, hope I spelled your name right, thank you for bringing these stories to life. You do it so kind and respectfully. One of my favorites is your Grandpa's. God bless you and your camera man.
Great video Lesley I get so excited seeing new uploads
Excited and ready!
Was again so very interesting, thank you !
You always bring so much feeling to the places. Just love it
Thank you for another amazing video. You 2 are a great team!
Hello love your videos thank you for the content
As always enjoyed the video. You take such care in the way you present abandoned places. You show how they were once loved.
Absolutely breathtaking
An interesting place with many beautiful family memories left behind ! I really like the playing records ! Thank you, Lesley, for this nice exploration!
Never seen a live broadcast before this! HI!!! You guys are great!
What a lovely house you show us. Thank you for that.
Hello Lesley 😀 I can't wait to see this amazing story of Ms. Carrie. 🎉. Super documentary on Ms. Carrie. Beautiful antique furniture and sad that the kids didn't want this beautiful house. Thank you for the tour of her house.
Awesome video thanks i enjoyed watching
Wonderful video
Nice property! Thanks for the lovely explore.
Thank you again for your wonderful video, I may say a brilliant narration for us to know. Lot of memories , so adorable. , it's only the memories that we linger when our time passes by... Thank you Leslie and Dany 🥰🙏♥️
Thank's for beautiful story from Carry's house!
Very Beautiful house !! I feel the same way about the couch !! Thank you for posting your Adventures !!
excellent video Leslie loved it in England thank you x
Hi, Lesley! Thank you from new interesting amazing video!🤗
Hey hey dear Lesley, bro, what an amazing story must be behind this house somewhere in the USA! - I am already very excited to hear more
from you and go in mind together through the rooms of this abandoned house. - The bedroom with some really beautiful vintage
furniture actually is looking so clean and cozy. It's very hard to imagine, that it is an abandoned location, when only seeing this bedroom.
So, I am very much looking forward to be once more part in one of your as always fascinating lifestreams. - Wishing you all the best,
peace and kindest regards from cold and snowy Switzerland.
Greetings Willy from Alabama USA!
The victrola will automatically work with electric an the large albums will play on it too ! Lol
@@careyh38 Hi Carey H, thank you so much. Kindest regards to you as well from Switzerland. Peace and stay safe!
@@willyegger4488 Hi Willy! My name is Pseudo Justin. I don't actually exist because I was just invented by a guy named Martin Homegardener. Nevertheless, I send you my best regards, also on behalf of my inventor! Stay safe and take care!
Hi Leslie you are so lovely and carefully with the things you do , I adore the respect you have and shows for the others things 🙌☺️
Mrs H ... Great explore as usual ... Thanks guys...

The record player release’s the record when it is turned on. 😊 the little piano is for a child. I had one. Always nice to spend time with you on your adventures . Stay safe both of you.
I love old houses Ang their back stories so mesmerizing to watch ❤️
I love watching your videos. You and Danny are awesome at the explanations of these magnificent homes and the stories that surround them. My heart breaks that no one cares about their homes and the beautiful antiques left behind to rot and decay. Do they not realize the fortune that are just abandoned? I would give anything to own just one piece of it to cherish for the rest of my life and hopefully my children would always cherish it. It makes me wonder why these families could leave so many personal things and pictures behind to never look behind as they are walking away. Makes me very sad. Thank you for the love and respect that you the things and homes that you explore. I would love to live your wonderful life.
Very charming house and yes I agree, she had very good taste. Thank you both for sharing your adventure with us.
i am so happy can watched this amazing explores with Bros of Decay with Danny too...Happy New Year 2023...
My grandad on my dads side had this beautfiul stand up old brown stereo . I used to play with it the knobs when ever I came to their house. It didnt have a cabinet like that but it gave me a great lookback on a memory Another great video guys :)
Hi Lesley! I have missed you and REALLY hate that I missed you here in the USA. Did you know they had Lisa Marie Presley's funeral today at Graceland? It was so sad. She is with her father Elvis now.
I admire the approach you and Danny take while exploring homes that have been abandoned. You give each home a certain loveliness and respect that I find touching. Please continue to explore and always with your humanity intact.
Without a doubt, it is always impossible to understand the who's and why's places are left as they are. In your case, open to strangers. But I find it warm and charming that you will try.
My own personal goal is to leave as little as possible behind, so that anyone might not even speculate. I realize now how impossible a goal I have set for myself. I've got you to thank for that realization. Somehow that makes life more free and easy for me.
It's a beautiful house little work and it could be used again but it's sad to thank you another great video
Awesome antique pieces in this place.
I appreciate very much what you're doing. Born in 1955, a lot of those things bring back memories from my childhood. These videos are delightful.
I'm looking forward to this one
Thanks
Thank you for this video we really loved and we appreciate your hard job bringing all this sweet memories of people lived and they are part naw of our life ❤❤❤ much love too you
What a wonderful lady ,
I raised my 2 children alone i can feel along with her,

You absolutely are a unique tour Guide
Cool explore of this house sad that it just sits there with all the stuff left behind sad story of Carrie may she rest in peace.
What a beautiful house
Love your videos bless you
بحب اسلوبك في الكلام واحساسك بالمنازل التي تتواجد بها وحرصك عليها
ارجو كتابة الكلام باللغة العربية 🥰😍
It’s sad to live this home abandoned and not sold or rented out . 😢but she lived a long life R.I.P. Carrie🙏🌹
Love your videos.They help to put life into perspective. I believe what you called a fireplace in the basement is the furnace to heat the house..
Love your videos brothers of decay
Absolutely amazing
God bless both of you guys.🙏
I already subscribed in your channel.
Good luck. from PHILIPPINES🇵🇭👋
Wonderful video as always....the record player was an RCA Victor when they were really introducing the 45 RPM format...alot of these cabinets also had a 78 rpm or a 33 rpm player also.. ...best wishes to all her family....🙏
love what you do
Amo seu trabalho! Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏 ! Vc trabalha com muito respeito e carinho!
I love watching you all! I bet I’ve said 1000 times, I have something like that! Oh my! I love antiquing. This is just with a BIG TWIST! I’m from South Texas and wish I could do what you do!!!
Wow, these furniture like radios are artcrafts. I would love to have one of these!!!
Baquardi mixer was added to alcohol drinks. Someone was a drinker and smoker. She seem to live a long life anyway. I love this house. Prestine in its time. Beds are still made beautifully. The knitted blanket cover would probably been from an older person. Children's pics in the room. Awesome video. Small records were called 45,s large ones were 78,s. The brush on the needle kept the dust off the record to keep the sound clear.
I love your videos, you show so much respect for those who lived in these properties and their belongings! So sad that families don’t reclaim the properties, but I guess they have their reasons. Thank you for sharing and what a beautiful home!
Good video 🥰
Nice piano! There is some beautiful furniture and antiques in this home. Such a shame the home will collapse on them and destroy everything. What a waste. Where are the children? 😢
I can never understand why things were just left to rot or deteriorate instead of donating to a worthy cause .
My son and I explored a house that once belonged to my grandparents. The owner had left the house because she had cancer and the guy living with her just left. All of the owner's belongings were still in the house. It was a very odd feeling but thankfully the neighbor told us what happened. Very sad!
I believe the iron wood burning fireplace is to heat the house. It hooks up to ducts and heats the upstairs. My parents had one put in the house I grew up in, because it was warmer and cheaper than heating the house with the electric furnace.
Those weasels on the armrests were fashion accessories seen on old ladies around the neck over or attached to the collars. I remember my grandmother etc had these animals on their shoulders up until the '50s.
The 45 rpm record player is designed to hold a stack of records 10-15? It automatically releases one when the two buttons self retract into the cylinder then plays that side ..the arm moves back drops next then moves in to play until all are in a pile. You then pull the stack up and the buttons have a rounded edge on bottom making it easy to pull off. You then turn the stack upside down and play the other sides. This gives you your own small jukebox playing for a long time. You have to pull off the tall cylinder to just play single 45s.
25:05 those record players were made to stack several records. When you turn it on, the first record drops down and the arm would move over the record and drop into place and start playing. When it finished playing, the arm would lift, return to starting position and the next record would drop down.
36:16 camping cot
The paper flowers we just hand on the wall ,the small heater is a disc heater kicks out a lot of heat
Great vid guys , I’d love to explore America one day
Hey Bros Of Decay! I am very curious to know the incredible history of the Sinquett family. It's great to know that you explorers document these stories to be recorded forever. And also when you enter these houses for a few moments you bring life into these abandoned walls. Congratulations: Lesley and Danny for this wonderful job.❤❤
Starting to love urban explorations ♥ hi! Shoutout from Philippines!
