This is my first time watching one of your videos. I can’t believe that house is still in great condition after sitting for so long and having the windows broken and the doors wide-open but it doesn’t seem to me that people or vandalizing it too much. I wish you knew more of the story of when they passed away and how long that house has been sitting there just like that, like preserved from when they were alive. You are so respectful of the things there, most people would just grab a bunch of stuff because there is a bunch of stuff in there that is worth money, especially the money jars Lol but thank you so much for respecting them! New subscriber, Nikki 💜
Absolutely love your comment and I greatly appreciate the time you took to write it, subscribe and view the channel. This one was actually very lucky to not have been vandalized or looted. Most places similar to this one are a completely different story. The very last date I saw on something was 2001, so that's when I'm assuming they had passed or left. And I believe they passed at that time because everything was just kind of left the way it was. I try to touch as little as possible and just document what I find. This little couple deserves nothing but love and that's all my subscribers are giving to them. If only they knew. Thank you again for the kind words and the time you took!
That means so very much to me, thank you for the kind words. I truly appreciate the time you took to view, and the time to write such an uplifting comment.
Watching this makes me sad. All of my stuff will be left when I go as I have no family at all. I most want to find someone to take my cats and care for them but I have no one
That is extremely depressing and I'm very sorry you feel that way. Nobody deserves that. Do your best to keep your head up and know that even though I don't know you, I love you. Live your life as happy as you can and don't dwell on the negative. I'll be thinking about you, I can promise you that.
Your vet can help if something happens and you are hospitalized or otherwise incapacitated. A key can be kept there for example and they can be notified to come in to care for them. Pet sitters are also bonded so they are safe. Mine was a blessing when I suddenly went in hospital, I called her and she saw to my fur babies.
Me too so don't feel so bad, make arrangements for your cats now while you have the time to look for a good home for them, my dad used to say life's a bitch and then you die, no truer statement ever spoken
Every time I enter a property like this, I think of absolutely the same things. No one will ever know how many memories were made here. That's why I give the utmost respect and have a sad feeling when I leave. But I do like to document it so the reminiscence of the family that used to occupy the property can be enjoyed by people that will never meet them. Thank you so very much for the view and comment.
It's very sad to see someone's possessions left behind. You gave the person that passed who called that house home...be that George or Jean or both...respect and love. Excellent job.
It broke my heart to see that fairly recent painting from the photo I glimpsed on the bed. She was such a beauty and I bet a darling. Someone had that made gor her as a special gift. I bet this was a place they downsized to nearer to town when they got older. Often folks in that generation didn't do wills and things get stuck in probate. I'm an only child and it took over TWO YEARS to settle Mom's estate. And nothing was complicated. Make a simple will at least folks. It helps the kids. ❤️
Awesome comment, I completely agree with everything. That painting is something I would hang in my home, and it's sad to know it will more than likely go to waste. This was by far the saddest place I've been. I pray they were happy. Thank you for the view and great comment.
This is another one that I ❤'d watching, sad to see someone's things that they enjoyed laying around like that after they moved on😥I can see why my sister liked this one, it is a cute house.
Yeah unfortunately a lot of stuff was left behind. If someone actually purchases it, I'm sure they could do great things with it. I appreciate your sub, view and comment!
Its so sad to see a whole house full of stuff just rotting away. Im glad there hasnt been vandals so thats a good thing. She lived a very modest lifestyle it appears unless she was just very poor.? The refrigerator was in a very odd spot but maybe it was easier for her to get to in that spot. Great find but such a sad sight and story. Thanks for sharing!
It was absolutely sad, but you're right, it's a blessing no one tried to ruin the place. I didn't think about it too much but the refrigerator is in a very odd spot. Because of the mobility issues it was probably just easier to get to. I would have opened it, but I didn't want to step on anything that was in front of it. Thanks so much for the view and comment!
That was one of the most personal saddest and yet best tours I have seen. You could just see her in that sweet kitchen. When my mother died to me the most important thing was her high school yearbooks and sadly they were not to be found.It is always my hope family sees these videos then go back to retrieve the personal affects.
Thank you for such a great comment. It was most definitely sad being there. I too imagined her in her kitchen. Just cooking and doing dishes, eating her meals. The yearbooks and pictures killed me knowing they will sadly never be in her family again. Again, I truly appreciate your time.
Looks like a 1930's era home, judging by the art deco styles doorknob plates and the curved plaster archways. Despite the junk in it, and the walls and ceilings being rough, structurally it really doesn't look too bad.
I completely agree. It does look and feel more sturdy than most places I visit. Awesome job noticing certain things that most just walk past. I appreciate the time you took to subscribe, view and comment!
Awesome find brother. I know it was obviously painted those colors much more recent than some of the stuff we find, but I still love those colors. Growing up in the 80s and even the 90s, everything got painted freaking white. White walls, white ceilings, white wood trim, white everything. It's nice to see some color in life again. Anyways I enjoyed that and I just wanted to point out the fact that I really appreciate how delicate you were with everything. I've seen so many people on RUclips and even been out exploring what friends of my own that aren't necessarily disrespectful towards the stuff but they pick things up and slam them down or put them somewhere else or just leave Cabinets and Doors open. I like to leave everything exactly the way I found it. You did that well and even the small stuff like when you felt bad about stepping on the clothes, it's good to see people out there like that. Especially with all the destruction become across these places as well. I'll never understand how people destroy these places, especially historic ones. Anyways, I'm rambling, maybe venting lol. Thank you for taking us along
I greatly appreciate your words my friend. It really does mean a lot to me because some people have absolutely no respect, and some even proud of it. I try not to leave more than a footprint, anything else would be against who I am. Thank you so very much for the kind words, I can tell you have the same respect. Please stick with my channel because I only have great people here. I respect you brother, thank you so very much again.
Weird how this brought me to tears. I imagine that old lady dying alone. Her last few years could not have been pleasant. I think I am going to find someone who lives alone, is old and offer to do a housecleaning for free. I think I want to leave this world myself trying to help others. Not with money because I have none but just doing a good deed here and there throughout the remainder of my life. It makes me very sad to think of old people dying alone.
That's incredibly sweet. If only everybody could think like this.. It's hard to imagine, but there is a chance she enjoyed what she had. Maybe she took solace and happiness in the small things. She also probably had a very loving husband and a career behind her that she enjoyed. What we saw at the house was after many years of it being vacant so more than likely much different than what she had. Love your heart, don't lose it. My grandfather was my best friend and favorite person in the world, he taught me absolutely everything I know and did absolutely anything to make me happy. So I'm with you on that level. Thank you for such a beautiful comment, The view and sub.
Dude! I was even paranoid for you 😂. People driving by could be calling the cops on you. 😮. It’s a shame that super old pic is probably going to be thrown away 😢. Cool explore 👍
Very Midwest German/Czech vibes. I love it. I felt a little tinge of happy-sad, as she seemed like a famililiar person to me almost. RIP, it looks like you were very well-loved
Thank you for taking the time out to view and comment! This is by far the saddest exploration I've been to. I truly felt for her throughout the entire property.
Be careful about the mold. Mold in very small amount is harmless but in large amounts it can make you sick even kill you. As long as there is no severe water damage to the building and as long as the mold is in very small amounts the house could be salvaged and even restored
Yes, most of the places I go to are completely saturated in mold, and I generally carry a respirator of some kind with me. Especially when it's on the ground and I am walking through it. I appreciate the concern and greatly appreciate your time my friend.
This video was the first one I saw from you, long story short I really like your content. You seem to be very emotionally attached, yet respectful to the old lady's story that is told by her belongings. Most people entering abandoned homes dont have that, there's a lot of vandalism around. Keep it up, keep safe and best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪 nice motorcycle BTW
I absolutely love this comment! I have a German flag tattooed on my neck because I'm very proud of my culture, and I could never imagine someone from your neck of the woods finding my channel.. You are very correct about a lot of people vandalizing things they should simply leave alone, and also about me having a nice motorcycle hahahaha! Thank you very very much my friend, I appreciate you and your kind words.
@@grimstravels3416 cool thing, do you have any idea which area of Germany your family came from? I know there is a big community of folks from Lower Saxony in Chicagoland, like Schaumburg, IL. I'm currently interested in abandoned places allover the world, this was a recommendation. In the end the old German saying "die Welt ist ein Dorf" turned out to be true again - it's a small world. Really appreciate your kind words, my friend.
That is incredible. It's literally a dream to visit there one day. Even move there. My grandfather's mother came from the north and his father came from the south of Germany but I'm not sure exactly where from. They were all fluent in German and I am trying to learn as respect to them. Honestly, I am very grateful for you!
That was a very sad experience going through there with you and it does look like she had some kind of family but they went in and found what they wanted and left everything else because it wasn't important to them 😔😪
That may be the case and if so, shame on them. I've had a very similar experience within my own family where people only wanted the valuables but cared very little about pictures and such. Thank God my mother had the heart to only want the memories. Thank you very much for the time you took to view and comment!
Yeah for real. It's so sad to think about how many old people don't have anybody left over when they pass. And all these memories and what not just goes to waste
Absolutely. It's a shame that she didn't have anyone that wanted her personal stuff like yearbooks and pictures. That's what hurts me the most. Thank you for your time.
I absolutely promise to post a follow-up video whenever I find out enough. I have a pretty good team that I'm going to put to work on finding whatever we can. Thank you very much for the view and comment.
This made me very sad. Did the neighbors know if she had kids? Also did you close the front door? I feel like others wouldn’t be as respectful. Subscribed.
Sadly the immediate neighbors aren't a very close, and didn't know much about the family. I've reached out to a few people about the picture and all the memories I found. One of my subscribers did a bit of sleuthing, and we were able to talk to a few people that let us in a good direction. It was absolutely sad. I did close everything in the exact way it was when I found it, per my usual. My saying always is "I leave nothing more than a footprint." I hate accidentally messing something up, even if no one would ever know. I would. Thank you so much for your time and your subscription! Really hope to hear from you on other videos, we have a great community here that you should fit right in to.
I'm sure they won't let that happen. This couple had no mention of children anywhere so I'm assuming they may not have had them. I usually see a lot of pictures on the walls in an old home. I'm sure you raised your kids good enough to where they'd be smart enough to take care of everything. Thanks a lot for the sub, view and comment.
I've literally never heard of anybody rewatching one of my older videos. You are so badass. I believe my first video uploaded was actually the abandoned neighborhood part 1, but I know that this is a very old one. I'm constantly telling myself to go back to see if her picture is still on the bed or if the place is still even up, but I can't bring myself to taking something from somewhere. I know it will probably be demolished, but there is still a chance that her family comes back and would love to have it. You are so awesome Chrissy, I don't deserve half the people I have on here.
@@grimstravels3416I should’ve commented that this was my first video that I watched on your channel. 🙃 Today is my Dad’s heavenly birthday, he’s been gone since Dec 1990 😢 I’m trying to make the best of today. In my head, the family went and gathered her pics and belongings. You Grim are amazing and don’t sell yourself short!! See you on the next!! 👍🙂✌️
Thanks for taking the time to view and comment. From what I gathered, they either didn't have children, or they had little to no contact with them. Either way, it was definitely a sad experience. They deserved better.
Damn, medicine expired in 1998. They died way longer ago than I thought. Great video. It's crazy to see most of these abandoned houses are all messy, I guess people just look for stuff to steal and they don't give a damn about destroying the whole place.
I swear this is the video that I was going to suggest to you. I had another subscriber send me a lot of information about the family quite a while ago. I'm just ashamed that they either didn't have a lot of family or didn't have anyone that wanted their stuff, especially the beautiful picture on the bed. I am very big into respecting every place I enter. I always say I don't want to leave anything but a footprint behind. It's just nice to live in their shoes for a moment. Unfortunately most of the places I go to are completely vandalized and even have most of the copper piping robbed before I get there. That's not my style lol. I really appreciate you man!
@@grimstravels3416 Yeah, I kinda “understand” why they’d do it because the dead don’t need it anymore but personally I wouldn’t do it. And in fact, most of the people stealing from these abandoned places are probably just people that doing it out of greed and accumulation rather than necessity. Pretty sure there’s a lot of people going from town to town asking about abandoned places or finding the addresses of recently deceased people so they can go there and steal as many valuables as possible.
Cass Junior High School is 5.36 miles from what used to be the Mount Assissi Academy in Lemont, IL. Maybe just coincidence. Anyway, thanks again! Enjoyed!
This is so sad know one helped her. I had an elderly lady that lived by us we helped her with everything. She passed away a few years ago and I still miss her all the time.
That was very sweet of you as this is something we should do for the elderly. We are not obligated, but it separates you from the people who don't have the heart. I bet you she looks down on you and smiles.. We are unsure what kind of help she had so I'm hoping it was something. It looks sad, but there is a chance she had a good life even toward the end. If she only knew how many people care, people who have never met her. Thank you very much for the view, sub and comment.
Since you know her name, look up her name and graduation day and school, you could find her family and let them know what you found. Even though the school is probably closed, someone would know who she is.
Thanks for taking the time to view and comment. I have a small team looking into it with me but everything is leading to a dead end. I've found a few people with her name but no record of next of kin or anything like that. The school she went to has a possibility of being around five different schools. The next step is to contact each one and see if they have any record of her name. Once I figure out as much as I can, I'll make a follow-up video. Again, thank you!
That’s quite interesting, I know exactly where that house is, I’ve driven past it many times in the past. I service clients in the area nearby across the road. Not to worry I have no intentions on going there. Thanks very much for showing this property.
Thanks so much for taking the time to view and comment. One of my subscribers suggested that maybe the refrigerator was in the front room so it was easier to get to. Seeing that this couple had mobility issues, that makes sense. Again, thanks for your time!
I felt the same way. Especially looking at her pictures and things like her yearbooks. For a slight moment in time I got to live throughout her memories. It was sad and beautiful at the same time. Thank you very much for the view and comment.
I know, I absolutely love these older houses. Hate to think that someone was confined in a smaller place when they had mobility issues, but maybe they didn't bother her. It's what I'm hoping for at least. I truly appreciate the view, comment and sub. Means a lot to me
Sad. I hope if they knock it down i hope they get pictures n yr books and stuff that can be saved out. I wish i lived in that house i can bet it was cute in its day. Attic look good enough to use at bedroom.
Absolutely, and I feel the same way. If I was allowed to, I would absolutely take every memory from that place before it is bulldozed. I appreciate your time!
Shame on the family for not cleaning out her home. 😡 So disrespectful!!! My Mom passed last year and I had to clean out her home. The state should force families to do it or have a team that comes in and does it. Why leave a home to rot??🤔😢. Makes me so sad!!!😢😢. Some of the stuff is worth money. - ( You really need to wear a mask and gloves. ) Not good to breath in dust, mold and rat poop.
I agree completely. It's sad that this happening is even a possibility. Leaving the property I was mad and depressed at the same time. And lol thanks for the concern, I was totally unprepared going in as it wasn't planned. When I passed the place and realized I had my equipment with me, I did a U-turn and decided to film. Good news is I didn't get sick. Thanks so much for taking the time to view and comment.
Hope you go back and check up on that house - I'd like to see more of the place and what it holds! I wouldn't be upset if you did hang her picture in your home in memory of her.
I really appreciate that. You have no clue how tempted I was to bring her picture home. But that's not my style, I really can't see myself removing an item from somewhere I explore. Even though I know it will be bulldozed at one point. It's sad, but I don't want to see myself as some kind of a thief. If you get time, check out my abandoned neighborhood videos. Some of the houses had a few things left behind that I could have grabbed because the entire neighborhood was demolished less than 2 weeks after I filmed it. I just feel guilty, even though it would be with good intentions. I greatly appreciate the time you took to comment, please stick around.
I'm so sorry my brother... If you are in Chicagoland, I've got some resources for you. I can buy you food, clothes etc. Also my team can look for housing. I own a nonprofit called Random Kindness Squad and we help people all the time. Please reach out if you are around!
Most of these properties I go to are on a demolition list through the state and I try to film them before they get crushed. It's rare they are in a good enough condition to be lived in. Are you near Chicago?
@@grimstravels3416 no but i am from that area . Im in Tampa and there is 0 solcial help and those that operate solcial assistance programs are scammers out for profit not to help for homeless and i am deaf as well witch heightens the difficulty 10 x . The way they handle homeless here is if cought homeless by the police it's a automatic 1 year in the county jail .
I feel for you and I'm very sorry. Chicago isn't good either with the homeless whatsoever, so the only help is through random people or they help each other. I'll be thinking about you a lot and I wish there was something I could do
I appreciate that. You have no idea how many things from this property I would properly display in my home. I don't take anything from an exploration though. Even though I know everything will be bulldozed, I can't see myself taking anything as it was never meant for me. I just hope it finds a proper home.
Yeah it's terrible. I really wanted to at least take her portrait from the bed and put it in my home, but I never take anything from an exploration. I hate that things that used to be memories have to be literally garbage. Thanks a lot for your time!
I looked up the school -- Mt. Assissi Academy in Lemont, IL It closed in 2014. An all-girl Catholic school. I feel sad for her. Didn't any family want some of her items? 😞
I really appreciate you taking the time to look into it. When my team did a little research we found that wasn't the right school. There are quite a few of those schools scattered around the area such as in Orland, Burbank and Cicero. The name on the yearbook is actually Assisian. We can't specifically pinpoint which one she went to. I truly appreciate your efforts. And I also feel sorry for her. While looking around I didn't see any mention of family whatsoever other than the very old pictures scattered around the property. But no direct mention of children or anything which leads me to believe that they possibly didn't have any. It's most definitely a sad circumstance. Again, thank you so very much. I don't intend on giving up on finding exactly who to contact for her, and I appreciate any help in doing so.
@@grimstravels3416 Thanks so much. I enjoy videos like this, going back to the history of someone. I couldn't help but comment on a still shot at 13:48. I see that in 1966 her name was Jean Suchomel (It's written on the middle of the left page). So as a teenager, she was very much loved!! Perhaps George was her beloved father. And maybe Durran was her married name later in life. God bless her ❤
I did notice her name changed! I just couldn't figure out when it happened. I noticed a difference once I saw her bank auditor certificate. And I'm completely with you about basically walking through someone else's footsteps for a little while. It's a little sad, but if she only knew that all these random people that have never met her love her, I'm sure she'd be smiling. Thank you so much for your continued support
How much of the stuff do you think would sell in a garage sale and how much do you think the house would sell for do you think any family members will take the house over
I honestly believe maybe just a quarter of the stuff would sell at a garage sale, maybe half. The house is in a good area but not on a good road so I couldn't even imagine what it would sell for. My team did some research and couldn't find any living relatives so unfortunately everything will more than likely be bulldozed and forgotten about in a short matter of time. It's all very sad. I do however appreciate the view, sub and comment my friend.
I'll be praying that will never be the case for you and I'm very sorry you have any of those thoughts. Live life as best you can, and you could always comment here for some positivity.
I promise you I mean them. I don't know you, but I love you. And I promise other people in the comments feel the same. Please keep your head up and know you can always reach out.
Yes that's the conclusion I came to. Throughout all of the stuff I saw, I noticed absolutely no mention of kids or much of anything besides Jean and her husband. It was most definitely a sad experience. Thank you for the view and comment.
It may not seem like there is much to claim, but piles of memories would be much more valuable than anything else I could think of. However, I do appreciate the view.
@@grimstravels3416 Does the city know anything about Her House. ???? I just can’t handle knowing all the Love n Memories That Have to Be There. Just Silence. !!!!!!!
I have a feeling that old lady is in Heavenly paradise and she's looking down on that house full of stuff releaved that she doesn't have to deal with it anymore.
Wow, she died young! Only around 73. That pepto bismal pink on the walls was popular in the 30's. The kitchen sink, (most valuable item in the house), is also from the 30's. It's sad how someone just ransacked through all her belongings, but that's how abandoned houses are. The aroma you smelled upstairs is a combination of wet clothes (because the windows are open), and mouse wet. Why aren't you wearing gloves?
Yeah it's sad she passed, and even more importantly that she didn't have kids that wanted her stuff. I've been to a million places like these and the smell was different this time. Kind of like mothballs and old books. Most of the time I come prepared, but this was an unexpected visit that I couldn't pass up. Didn't get sick though so that's a plus! Thanks for your time.
The croquet set I would love, they were taller and I use many types together to work with my disabled kids and disabled adults thanks I wish I could have this house to love and care for, sad! Be saf!
That's very kind of you to say. And I agree, if there was an option, I would totally buy the house with everything in it. Thank you very much for the view and the awesome comment!
LOL, no, I never take anything from anywhere. I have a lot of creepy stuff at my house, but I don't want any bad juju. And yes it was an extremely tiny house. Thank you very much for taking your time out for my channel!
I just got a notification that you subbed, I appreciate that. And also the time you took to view and comment. Yeah this was a very sad one for me. The picture was deliberately made and paid for and literally sat there to rot. I definitely have less heartbreaking videos out whenever you have time. Again, thank you.
Whenever I find something with a name on it, I try to look for relatives to pass items down to. The phone idea is a good one. I just have never removed anything from an exploration because I don't want to seem like I'm looting something. But that's a phenomenal idea I never thought to do. Thank you, and thank you for taking the time to view and comment.
I would hate to be the person that has to clean that place up. At least not by myself. Now if I bought the house as is and it was not to expensive, that would be a different story.
I hear what you are saying. I've actually mentioned that I wouldn't mind buying the thing and doing what I could. I appreciate your sub, view and comment!
Yes, very fortunate. Either the family was loved or people just avoid it for some reason. No matter the reason, I'm grateful. Thank you so very much for the sub, view and comment!
It's actually documented as unoccupied at the moment. In different paperwork it is set for demolition but there is no set date. I am learning more and more as we dive deep into figuring out this place out. Thank you for your time and input!
Even an unoccupied property would have an owner's name at the recorder's office. You still should be able to buy it, even if it is scheduled for demo. Sometimes demolitions can take years. You may want to hire an attorney to help you figure out who has control over the property. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to buy it at a tax sale if there are unpaid taxes. I was a Realtor in Iowa for 40 yrs.
Currently the only owners of a lot of the properties are actual banks. The abandoned neighborhood that I documented had every single house technically owned by the new property manager of the facility they were building. If it's in illinois, I have a few people that work for the state that do some digging for me, and give me all the info I ask for usually. There has only been a handful of places that have the original owner's names on them. Generally an old couple that prepaid for a decade in advance or so.
I thought the same thing. There aren't many homes nearby, and this couple may have been very loved. It is odd that someone random driving by didn't do something stupid, but I'm sure glad nothing like that happened. I appreciate the view very much
@@grimstravels3416 and I thank you very much for replying to me. I really hope someone secures the home soon or gets the belongings out before anything bad happens. Thank you for taking us on the tour.
I agree with you completely! The entire time I was there I really felt for them. I wish it was my family because I guarantee their pictures would be up in my halls. I appreciate all of your time.
The local govt. will put everything in a garbage skip, so those books from a Catholic school and girl scouts you may want to hand them in or to a local historical society or library 💡
I really want to do that. Because you are very right, everything will eventually be demolished and nothing saved. I just didn't want to be seen removing items as if I were stealing something. When exploring, I try to leave everything exactly the way I find it. But that is a great idea because this little family deserves better than what will inevitably happen. Thank you, and thanks a ton for the view.
@@grimstravels3416 If you do decide to go back and recover the items mentioned please salvage that photographic photo of the Lady ,in the cardboard packaging too. She or her husband had that especially made of her when she was in her prime. That photographic portrait can accompany the Catholic school book and girlscout books. 🙏
I will absolutely contact a few organizations to see if they have any interest. She deserves better than to have her possessions demolished. Thank you very much, this is why I love my subscribers so much.
Thank you very much for the view and comment. I don't know how to work the subtitles other than in English but I'm sure there is a way. Thank you for taking your time.
I actually come across that quite a bit. My assumption is usually when I see that, it's in a place with open windows and doors, and possibly the massive amount of wind is prohibiting cobwebs from forming. Just a guess. Thanks a ton for the view and comment.
I would like to say i can help you out .. i don't believe you were alone .. while in the attic i heard a female voice .. @ 15:06 .. i could not make out what was said but i did hear it .. check it out :)
I checked it out with a couple of my team members and we couldn't hear anything! I'll run it through a software to cancel out most of the noise and see if I could figure it out. Thank you guys so very much! I absolutely love my subscribers
@@SheenaRea Thank you very much. You would have to be less than human not to respect such a lovely lady. I still find myself thinking about her throughout the day. I appreciate you and your kind words
If at all possible, I would absolutely buy it and at least store all of the possessions to buy me time to contact different organizations that may want the items
Most of the places I go to do have the property either on the market or the city has them on a demolition list but don't want to spend the money to actually do the work so they just sit for sometimes decades. I usually contact the city and get as many questions answered, unless I just stumble across a place and feel I don't have time for it. I truly appreciate the time you took to view and comment!
The old pics are awesome!too bad people rummage thru their stuff and jys leave it in shambkes!shambles! Part gets me mad!&to think mist have kids and they dint want to keep all the kiol stuff or take care of their old parents
I totally agree with you. And the last date I saw on something was 2001. As I was walking through, I saw no mention of children so part of me believes they didn't have any which is sad. They have a million memories and no one to pass them down to. Thank you for the view.
Yeah usually we are pretty well prepared, this place however I was passing and had my equipment to film but not protection. Thankfully I did not get sick at all and never have so I've been lucky. Thanks for the view
This is my first time watching one of your videos. I can’t believe that house is still in great condition after sitting for so long and having the windows broken and the doors wide-open but it doesn’t seem to me that people or vandalizing it too much.
I wish you knew more of the story of when they passed away and how long that house has been sitting there just like that, like preserved from when they were alive.
You are so respectful of the things there, most people would just grab a bunch of stuff because there is a bunch of stuff in there that is worth money, especially the money jars Lol but thank you so much for respecting them!

Absolutely love your comment and I greatly appreciate the time you took to write it, subscribe and view the channel. This one was actually very lucky to not have been vandalized or looted. Most places similar to this one are a completely different story. The very last date I saw on something was 2001, so that's when I'm assuming they had passed or left. And I believe they passed at that time because everything was just kind of left the way it was. I try to touch as little as possible and just document what I find. This little couple deserves nothing but love and that's all my subscribers are giving to them. If only they knew. Thank you again for the kind words and the time you took!
I love how respectful you are of the property and the memories it contains.
That means so very much to me, thank you for the kind words. I truly appreciate the time you took to view, and the time to write such an uplifting comment.
Watching this makes me sad. All of my stuff will be left when I go as I have no family at all. I most want to find someone to take my cats and care for them but I have no one
That is extremely depressing and I'm very sorry you feel that way. Nobody deserves that. Do your best to keep your head up and know that even though I don't know you, I love you. Live your life as happy as you can and don't dwell on the negative. I'll be thinking about you, I can promise you that.
Have you called your local pet shelter and/or a lawyer to make arrangements for your cats?
Your vet can help if something happens and you are hospitalized or otherwise incapacitated. A key can be kept there for example and they can be notified to come in to care for them. Pet sitters are also bonded so they are safe. Mine was a blessing when I suddenly went in hospital, I called her and she saw to my fur babies.
Me too so don't feel so bad, make arrangements for your cats now while you have the time to look for a good home for them, my dad used to say life's a bitch and then you die, no truer statement ever spoken
Such a sweet person. I absolutely love my subscribers!
When I see an abandon house I think of how excited the family must have been who built it. All the holidays and memories in the home. Sad. 😢
Every time I enter a property like this, I think of absolutely the same things. No one will ever know how many memories were made here. That's why I give the utmost respect and have a sad feeling when I leave. But I do like to document it so the reminiscence of the family that used to occupy the property can be enjoyed by people that will never meet them. Thank you so very much for the view and comment.
It's very sad to see someone's possessions left behind. You gave the person that passed who called that house home...be that George or Jean or both...respect and love. Excellent job.
That's very sweet, thank you. They definitely deserved love and compassion. I appreciate you.
It broke my heart to see that fairly recent painting from the photo I glimpsed on the bed. She was such a beauty and I bet a darling. Someone had that made gor her as a special gift.
I bet this was a place they downsized to nearer to town when they got older. Often folks in that generation didn't do wills and things get stuck in probate. I'm an only child and it took over TWO YEARS to settle Mom's estate. And nothing was complicated. Make a simple will at least folks. It helps the kids. ❤️
Awesome comment, I completely agree with everything. That painting is something I would hang in my home, and it's sad to know it will more than likely go to waste. This was by far the saddest place I've been. I pray they were happy. Thank you for the view and great comment.
This is another one that I ❤'d watching, sad to see someone's things that they enjoyed laying around like that after they moved on😥I can see why my sister liked this one, it is a cute house.
Thanks, and I felt the exact same way. Probably one of the saddest I've felt after leaving an exploration.
@@grimstravels3416 I can see why😪

That's awesome! And yes it's a small house but lots of storage with a full basement and full attic!
Yeah unfortunately a lot of stuff was left behind. If someone actually purchases it, I'm sure they could do great things with it. I appreciate your sub, view and comment!
I watch a lot of abandon houses videos. This one is one of the best I've seen. Your video is so sharp and clear. Geat quality.
Thank you! When starting this journey, I decided to just get a really good camera in hopes to get good quality. I appreciate the kind words
Its so sad to see a whole house full of stuff just rotting away. Im glad there hasnt been vandals so thats a good thing.
She lived a very modest lifestyle it appears unless she was just very poor.? The refrigerator was in a very odd spot but
maybe it was easier for her to get to in that spot. Great find but such a sad sight and story. Thanks for sharing!
It was absolutely sad, but you're right, it's a blessing no one tried to ruin the place. I didn't think about it too much but the refrigerator is in a very odd spot. Because of the mobility issues it was probably just easier to get to. I would have opened it, but I didn't want to step on anything that was in front of it. Thanks so much for the view and comment!
That was one of the most personal saddest and yet best tours I have seen.
You could just see her in that sweet kitchen. When my mother died to me the most important thing was her high school yearbooks and sadly they were not to be found.It is always my hope family sees these videos then go back to retrieve the personal affects.
Thank you for such a great comment. It was most definitely sad being there. I too imagined her in her kitchen. Just cooking and doing dishes, eating her meals. The yearbooks and pictures killed me knowing they will sadly never be in her family again. Again, I truly appreciate your time.
Looks like a 1930's era home, judging by the art deco styles doorknob plates and the curved plaster archways. Despite the junk in it, and the walls and ceilings being rough, structurally it really doesn't look too bad.
I completely agree. It does look and feel more sturdy than most places I visit. Awesome job noticing certain things that most just walk past. I appreciate the time you took to subscribe, view and comment!
Awesome find brother. I know it was obviously painted those colors much more recent than some of the stuff we find, but I still love those colors.
Growing up in the 80s and even the 90s, everything got painted freaking white. White walls, white ceilings, white wood trim, white everything. It's nice to see some color in life again.
Anyways I enjoyed that and I just wanted to point out the fact that I really appreciate how delicate you were with everything. I've seen so many people on RUclips and even been out exploring what friends of my own that aren't necessarily disrespectful towards the stuff but they pick things up and slam them down or put them somewhere else or just leave Cabinets and Doors open. I like to leave everything exactly the way I found it. You did that well and even the small stuff like when you felt bad about stepping on the clothes, it's good to see people out there like that. Especially with all the destruction become across these places as well. I'll never understand how people destroy these places, especially historic ones.
Anyways, I'm rambling, maybe venting lol.
Thank you for taking us along
I greatly appreciate your words my friend. It really does mean a lot to me because some people have absolutely no respect, and some even proud of it. I try not to leave more than a footprint, anything else would be against who I am. Thank you so very much for the kind words, I can tell you have the same respect. Please stick with my channel because I only have great people here. I respect you brother, thank you so very much again.
Weird how this brought me to tears. I imagine that old lady dying alone. Her last few years could not have been pleasant. I think I am going to find someone who lives alone, is old and offer to do a housecleaning for free. I think I want to leave this world myself trying to help others. Not with money because I have none but just doing a good deed here and there throughout the remainder of my life. It makes me very sad to think of old people dying alone.
That's incredibly sweet. If only everybody could think like this.. It's hard to imagine, but there is a chance she enjoyed what she had. Maybe she took solace and happiness in the small things. She also probably had a very loving husband and a career behind her that she enjoyed. What we saw at the house was after many years of it being vacant so more than likely much different than what she had. Love your heart, don't lose it. My grandfather was my best friend and favorite person in the world, he taught me absolutely everything I know and did absolutely anything to make me happy. So I'm with you on that level. Thank you for such a beautiful comment, The view and sub.
@@grimstravels3416 awww thank you for your reply. I subbed just now after reading your last sentence. 😁
Hahaha I thought you were subbed, I promise I wasn't trying to get you to... But please stay subbed LMAO
@@grimstravels3416 lol it's all good.
Dude! I was even paranoid for you 😂. People driving by could be calling the cops on you. 😮. It’s a shame that super old pic is probably going to be thrown away 😢. Cool explore 👍
I worry about that on a lot of my explorations haha. And yes, a lot about this place was sad. Thanks a bunch.
Very Midwest German/Czech vibes. I love it. I felt a little tinge of happy-sad, as she seemed like a famililiar person to me almost. RIP, it looks like you were very well-loved
Beautiful comment, thank you very much. I also love your profile picture. Please stick around because I have nothing but good people on this channel.
I'm on board for more videos. Thanks for sharing and respecting Jean's life.👍
I appreciate that greatly my friend, thank you.
I can't believe that even money was still there and some things that were new. She must have had nobody in her life. You are more brave than me!!
Thank you for taking the time out to view and comment! This is by far the saddest exploration I've been to. I truly felt for her throughout the entire property.
Be careful about the mold. Mold in very small amount is harmless but in large amounts it can make you sick even kill you. As long as there is no severe water damage to the building and as long as the mold is in very small amounts the house could be salvaged and even restored
Yes, most of the places I go to are completely saturated in mold, and I generally carry a respirator of some kind with me. Especially when it's on the ground and I am walking through it. I appreciate the concern and greatly appreciate your time my friend.
RIP Ms Jean
Loved the video.
RIP without a doubt. Thank you very very much for your time.
This video was the first one I saw from you, long story short I really like your content. You seem to be very emotionally attached, yet respectful to the old lady's story that is told by her belongings. Most people entering abandoned homes dont have that, there's a lot of vandalism around. Keep it up, keep safe and best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪 nice motorcycle BTW
I absolutely love this comment! I have a German flag tattooed on my neck because I'm very proud of my culture, and I could never imagine someone from your neck of the woods finding my channel.. You are very correct about a lot of people vandalizing things they should simply leave alone, and also about me having a nice motorcycle hahahaha! Thank you very very much my friend, I appreciate you and your kind words.
@@grimstravels3416 cool thing, do you have any idea which area of Germany your family came from? I know there is a big community of folks from Lower Saxony in Chicagoland, like Schaumburg, IL.
I'm currently interested in abandoned places allover the world, this was a recommendation. In the end the old German saying "die Welt ist ein Dorf" turned out to be true again - it's a small world.
Really appreciate your kind words, my friend.
That is incredible. It's literally a dream to visit there one day. Even move there. My grandfather's mother came from the north and his father came from the south of Germany but I'm not sure exactly where from. They were all fluent in German and I am trying to learn as respect to them. Honestly, I am very grateful for you!
That was a very sad experience going through there with you and it does look like she had some kind of family but they went in and found what they wanted and left everything else because it wasn't important to them 😔😪
That may be the case and if so, shame on them. I've had a very similar experience within my own family where people only wanted the valuables but cared very little about pictures and such. Thank God my mother had the heart to only want the memories. Thank you very much for the time you took to view and comment!
That house is gorgeous, what a shame
Yeah for real. It's so sad to think about how many old people don't have anybody left over when they pass. And all these memories and what not just goes to waste
So much stuff that could have been put to use by other people!! So sad.
Absolutely. It's a shame that she didn't have anyone that wanted her personal stuff like yearbooks and pictures. That's what hurts me the most. Thank you for your time.
I just stumbled upon this video. I hope you can find a relative to come and do something with the place. Will you keep us posted on what you find out?
I absolutely promise to post a follow-up video whenever I find out enough. I have a pretty good team that I'm going to put to work on finding whatever we can. Thank you very much for the view and comment.
I just subscribed. You seem like a sweet guy. Hope you can find something out.
That's very sweet of you to say, thank you. I promise to try and keep you all updated!
Cute little house.
It was. Thank you for the view!
This made me very sad. Did the neighbors know if she had kids? Also did you close the front door? I feel like others wouldn’t be as respectful. Subscribed.
Sadly the immediate neighbors aren't a very close, and didn't know much about the family. I've reached out to a few people about the picture and all the memories I found. One of my subscribers did a bit of sleuthing, and we were able to talk to a few people that let us in a good direction. It was absolutely sad. I did close everything in the exact way it was when I found it, per my usual. My saying always is "I leave nothing more than a footprint." I hate accidentally messing something up, even if no one would ever know. I would. Thank you so much for your time and your subscription! Really hope to hear from you on other videos, we have a great community here that you should fit right in to.
Loved the record stand. You did a great job!😊
I also loved it, along with so much more. Thank you very much. And thank you as well for the view!
That is so sad... I hope when I pass my children just don't leave my home in the shambles that this one's in.
I'm sure they won't let that happen. This couple had no mention of children anywhere so I'm assuming they may not have had them. I usually see a lot of pictures on the walls in an old home. I'm sure you raised your kids good enough to where they'd be smart enough to take care of everything. Thanks a lot for the sub, view and comment.
Watching this one again, feeling nostalgic as this is your first video! 1:36 yummy grits and cotton swabs 😂😂
I've literally never heard of anybody rewatching one of my older videos. You are so badass. I believe my first video uploaded was actually the abandoned neighborhood part 1, but I know that this is a very old one. I'm constantly telling myself to go back to see if her picture is still on the bed or if the place is still even up, but I can't bring myself to taking something from somewhere. I know it will probably be demolished, but there is still a chance that her family comes back and would love to have it. You are so awesome Chrissy, I don't deserve half the people I have on here.
@@grimstravels3416I should’ve commented that this was my first video that I watched on your channel. 🙃 Today is my Dad’s heavenly birthday, he’s been gone since Dec 1990 😢 I’m trying to make the best of today. In my head, the family went and gathered her pics and belongings. You Grim are amazing and don’t sell yourself short!! See you on the next!! 👍🙂✌️
Theirs So Much Love Here. Don’t Ever Feel Alone . Xoxo peace 💕 💕 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed
I love the beautiful old doors in the house.
For the little time I was there, I fell in love with quite a few things so I totally understand you.
What kind of kids let their mom live like that when she is old and sick.Shame on them.
Thanks for taking the time to view and comment. From what I gathered, they either didn't have children, or they had little to no contact with them. Either way, it was definitely a sad experience. They deserved better.
I enjoyed your video. Enjoy your day..
That's sweet. Thank you very much, and I hope you have a lovely day yourself!
Looks like family didn’t help her much. That is truly sad
It really is. If she only knew how many people care about her wellbeing. Thanks for taking the time to view
👍👍👍😘
Love see these old houses love to fix this up!!weird how people leave their stuff I wander why?
I like house pink my color beautiful house. Hope here family comes get some of hers. rest in peace ✝️✝️✝️
I hope for the same thing.
Damn, medicine expired in 1998. They died way longer ago than I thought. Great video. It's crazy to see most of these abandoned houses are all messy, I guess people just look for stuff to steal and they don't give a damn about destroying the whole place.
I swear this is the video that I was going to suggest to you. I had another subscriber send me a lot of information about the family quite a while ago. I'm just ashamed that they either didn't have a lot of family or didn't have anyone that wanted their stuff, especially the beautiful picture on the bed. I am very big into respecting every place I enter. I always say I don't want to leave anything but a footprint behind. It's just nice to live in their shoes for a moment. Unfortunately most of the places I go to are completely vandalized and even have most of the copper piping robbed before I get there. That's not my style lol. I really appreciate you man!
@@grimstravels3416 Yeah, I kinda “understand” why they’d do it because the dead don’t need it anymore but personally I wouldn’t do it. And in fact, most of the people stealing from these abandoned places are probably just people that doing it out of greed and accumulation rather than necessity. Pretty sure there’s a lot of people going from town to town asking about abandoned places or finding the addresses of recently deceased people so they can go there and steal as many valuables as possible.
Cass Junior High School is 5.36 miles from what used to be the Mount Assissi Academy in Lemont, IL. Maybe just coincidence. Anyway, thanks again! Enjoyed!
You are very right. I need to do some more digging. Thank you so very much
This is so sad know one helped her. I had an elderly lady that lived by us we helped her with everything. She passed away a few years ago and I still miss her all the time.
That was very sweet of you as this is something we should do for the elderly. We are not obligated, but it separates you from the people who don't have the heart. I bet you she looks down on you and smiles.. We are unsure what kind of help she had so I'm hoping it was something. It looks sad, but there is a chance she had a good life even toward the end. If she only knew how many people care, people who have never met her. Thank you very much for the view, sub and comment.
Good investigation.
Since you know her name, look up her name and graduation day and school, you could find her family and let them know what you found. Even though the school is probably closed, someone would know who she is.
Thanks for taking the time to view and comment. I have a small team looking into it with me but everything is leading to a dead end. I've found a few people with her name but no record of next of kin or anything like that. The school she went to has a possibility of being around five different schools. The next step is to contact each one and see if they have any record of her name. Once I figure out as much as I can, I'll make a follow-up video. Again, thank you!
That’s quite interesting, I know exactly where that house is, I’ve driven past it many times in the past. I service clients in the area nearby across the road. Not to worry I have no intentions on going there. Thanks very much for showing this property.
No problem and thank you very much for your time!
@@grimstravels3416 see my updated / edited comment. Thank you for the immediate reply. I sub now too. 👍🏻
I did and I greatly appreciate your sub. It helps a ton
The house basement was large for the size of the house. I see the refrigerator was put in the front room. There was a few nice things still there.
Thanks so much for taking the time to view and comment. One of my subscribers suggested that maybe the refrigerator was in the front room so it was easier to get to. Seeing that this couple had mobility issues, that makes sense. Again, thanks for your time!
I share her name, what memories it conjures up . Feel like I have met her.thankyou for nostalgic tour.
I felt the same way. Especially looking at her pictures and things like her yearbooks. For a slight moment in time I got to live throughout her memories. It was sad and beautiful at the same time. Thank you very much for the view and comment.
That old kitchen looks so familiar when I was a little kid they were the norm.
I know, I absolutely love these older houses. Hate to think that someone was confined in a smaller place when they had mobility issues, but maybe they didn't bother her. It's what I'm hoping for at least. I truly appreciate the view, comment and sub. Means a lot to me
I love the pink Walls!!! I whould love to clean out house's like thet!!! And give good stuff to good will!!!!
Yeah, I feel the exact same way for most of the places I end up at. I appreciate your time!
I still have my year books from the 60s . I feel so old ! Lol 😂
Oh that's awesome!.. I don't even have my socks from a month ago, hahaha. Thank you for your time and comments!
Sad. I hope if they knock it down i hope they get pictures n yr books and stuff that can be saved out. I wish i lived in that house i can bet it was cute in its day. Attic look good enough to use at bedroom.
Absolutely, and I feel the same way. If I was allowed to, I would absolutely take every memory from that place before it is bulldozed. I appreciate your time!
Shame on the family for not cleaning out her home. 😡 So disrespectful!!! My Mom passed last year and I had to clean out her home. The state should force families to do it or have a team that comes in and does it. Why leave a home to rot??🤔😢. Makes me so sad!!!😢😢. Some of the stuff is worth money. - ( You really need to wear a mask and gloves. ) Not good to breath in dust, mold and rat poop.
I agree completely. It's sad that this happening is even a possibility. Leaving the property I was mad and depressed at the same time. And lol thanks for the concern, I was totally unprepared going in as it wasn't planned. When I passed the place and realized I had my equipment with me, I did a U-turn and decided to film. Good news is I didn't get sick. Thanks so much for taking the time to view and comment.
Hope you go back and check up on that house - I'd like to see more of the place and what it holds! I wouldn't be upset if you did hang her picture in your home in memory of her.
I really appreciate that. You have no clue how tempted I was to bring her picture home. But that's not my style, I really can't see myself removing an item from somewhere I explore. Even though I know it will be bulldozed at one point. It's sad, but I don't want to see myself as some kind of a thief. If you get time, check out my abandoned neighborhood videos. Some of the houses had a few things left behind that I could have grabbed because the entire neighborhood was demolished less than 2 weeks after I filmed it. I just feel guilty, even though it would be with good intentions. I greatly appreciate the time you took to comment, please stick around.
Where is it i'm homeless I'd be glad to live there .
I'm so sorry my brother... If you are in Chicagoland, I've got some resources for you. I can buy you food, clothes etc. Also my team can look for housing. I own a nonprofit called Random Kindness Squad and we help people all the time. Please reach out if you are around!
@@grimstravels3416 you should do adverse posessions on these abandoned properties and give them to homeless and disabled people.
Most of these properties I go to are on a demolition list through the state and I try to film them before they get crushed. It's rare they are in a good enough condition to be lived in. Are you near Chicago?
@@grimstravels3416 no but i am from that area . Im in Tampa and there is 0 solcial help and those that operate solcial assistance programs are scammers out for profit not to help for homeless and i am deaf as well witch heightens the difficulty 10 x . The way they handle homeless here is if cought homeless by the police it's a automatic 1 year in the county jail .
I feel for you and I'm very sorry. Chicago isn't good either with the homeless whatsoever, so the only help is through random people or they help each other. I'll be thinking about you a lot and I wish there was something I could do
If those chairs are still working they should be donated.
thousands of people that need them and cant afford them.
I needed one when I was 16 and couldn't afford it so I agree.
Year books are becoming collectable, who knew? My mom graduated college about 1965, and she is about 82 in 2022. If that helps with a time line.
I appreciate that. You have no idea how many things from this property I would properly display in my home. I don't take anything from an exploration though. Even though I know everything will be bulldozed, I can't see myself taking anything as it was never meant for me. I just hope it finds a proper home.
Poor lady 😭
Sad we can't take things to reuse them instead of leaving them there to go to waste. :(
Yeah it's terrible. I really wanted to at least take her portrait from the bed and put it in my home, but I never take anything from an exploration. I hate that things that used to be memories have to be literally garbage. Thanks a lot for your time!
@@grimstravels3416 I'd take any converse
2:38 original pronunciation would be more like sew-kho-mel... George was of Czech ancestry apparently, good video, man
I only understood part of this comment, but I appreciate it nonetheless! Hahaha thank you
i LOVE that the hallway and kitchen are painted pink lmao
Yes it was very deliberately painted the way she wanted it. Which is adorable. Thank you for your time!
ngl id probably paint my kitchen pink too 😂pink is my favorite color
I looked up the school -- Mt. Assissi Academy in Lemont, IL It closed in 2014. An all-girl Catholic school. I feel sad for her. Didn't any family want some of her items? 😞
I really appreciate you taking the time to look into it. When my team did a little research we found that wasn't the right school. There are quite a few of those schools scattered around the area such as in Orland, Burbank and Cicero. The name on the yearbook is actually Assisian. We can't specifically pinpoint which one she went to. I truly appreciate your efforts. And I also feel sorry for her. While looking around I didn't see any mention of family whatsoever other than the very old pictures scattered around the property. But no direct mention of children or anything which leads me to believe that they possibly didn't have any. It's most definitely a sad circumstance. Again, thank you so very much. I don't intend on giving up on finding exactly who to contact for her, and I appreciate any help in doing so.
@@grimstravels3416 Thanks so much. I enjoy videos like this, going back to the history of someone. I couldn't help but comment on a still shot at 13:48. I see that in 1966 her name was Jean Suchomel (It's written on the middle of the left page). So as a teenager, she was very much loved!! Perhaps George was her beloved father. And maybe Durran was her married name later in life. God bless her ❤
I did notice her name changed! I just couldn't figure out when it happened. I noticed a difference once I saw her bank auditor certificate. And I'm completely with you about basically walking through someone else's footsteps for a little while. It's a little sad, but if she only knew that all these random people that have never met her love her, I'm sure she'd be smiling. Thank you so much for your continued support
How much of the stuff do you think would sell in a garage sale and how much do you think the house would sell for do you think any family members will take the house over
I honestly believe maybe just a quarter of the stuff would sell at a garage sale, maybe half. The house is in a good area but not on a good road so I couldn't even imagine what it would sell for. My team did some research and couldn't find any living relatives so unfortunately everything will more than likely be bulldozed and forgotten about in a short matter of time. It's all very sad. I do however appreciate the view, sub and comment my friend.
Great job

This looks like she passed and had no family to claim her things! So so sad!
There is not much to claim.
Yes that's the conclusion I came to. Throughout all of the stuff I saw, I noticed absolutely no mention of kids or much of anything besides Jean and her husband. It was most definitely a sad experience. Thank you for the view and comment.
It may not seem like there is much to claim, but piles of memories would be much more valuable than anything else I could think of. However, I do appreciate the view.
@@grimstravels3416 Exactly Their Beautiful Memories For Sure. Xo. !!!!!
@@grimstravels3416 Does the city know anything about Her House. ???? I just can’t handle knowing all the Love n Memories That Have to Be There. Just Silence. !!!!!!!
I have a feeling that old lady is in Heavenly paradise and she's looking down on that house full of stuff releaved that she doesn't have to deal with it anymore.
That's definitely a possibility. There is no telling, but no matter what she's thinking, I hope she's happy.
Leave it all to some kids charity or something. Shame all this stuff just goes to waste when people die.
I agree, that's a great idea. Anything would be better than letting it rot. Thanks for your time.
Wow, she died young! Only around 73.
That pepto bismal pink on the walls was popular in the 30's. The kitchen sink, (most valuable item in the house), is also from the 30's.
It's sad how someone just ransacked through all her belongings, but that's how abandoned houses are. The aroma you smelled upstairs is a combination of wet clothes (because the windows are open), and mouse wet.
Why aren't you wearing gloves?
Yeah it's sad she passed, and even more importantly that she didn't have kids that wanted her stuff. I've been to a million places like these and the smell was different this time. Kind of like mothballs and old books. Most of the time I come prepared, but this was an unexpected visit that I couldn't pass up. Didn't get sick though so that's a plus! Thanks for your time.
New sub, by the way!
Thank you! Good people are always welcome here. I appreciate your time.

LOL, no, I never take anything from anywhere. I have a lot of creepy stuff at my house, but I don't want any bad juju. And yes it was an extremely tiny house. Thank you very much for taking your time out for my channel!
Someone paid a pretty penny for that framed canvas print. Shame.
I just got a notification that you subbed, I appreciate that. And also the time you took to view and comment. Yeah this was a very sad one for me. The picture was deliberately made and paid for and literally sat there to rot. I definitely have less heartbreaking videos out whenever you have time. Again, thank you.
We had a metal pantry just like that at Dad's old house.
Yes I absolutely love that. 50s style if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for coming back, stick around!
Do you think you could look at the contacts in her 2 phones to find her relatives?
Whenever I find something with a name on it, I try to look for relatives to pass items down to. The phone idea is a good one. I just have never removed anything from an exploration because I don't want to seem like I'm looting something. But that's a phenomenal idea I never thought to do. Thank you, and thank you for taking the time to view and comment.
,the basement is in good shape than upstairs
I would hate to be the person that has to clean that place up. At least not by myself. Now if I bought the house as is and it was not to expensive, that would be a different story.
I hear what you are saying. I've actually mentioned that I wouldn't mind buying the thing and doing what I could. I appreciate your sub, view and comment!
Wow pink a lot of pink to much pink 😘
A little too much for my taste yes, but at least it made her happy lol. Thank you so much for the sub, view and comment!
Strange that that house hasn’t been ransacked.
Yes, very fortunate. Either the family was loved or people just avoid it for some reason. No matter the reason, I'm grateful. Thank you so very much for the sub, view and comment!
It was ransacked, by mice.
She was way younger than my mom who is still alive. Very sad.
Enjoy the time with your mother, and let's all hope Jean enjoyed what she had. Thank you very much for the sub, view and comment!
You should be able to check the court house records online to see who is the current owner
It's actually documented as unoccupied at the moment. In different paperwork it is set for demolition but there is no set date. I am learning more and more as we dive deep into figuring out this place out. Thank you for your time and input!
Even an unoccupied property would have an owner's name at the recorder's office. You still should be able to buy it, even if it is scheduled for demo. Sometimes demolitions can take years. You may want to hire an attorney to help you figure out who has control over the property. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to buy it at a tax sale if there are unpaid taxes. I was a Realtor in Iowa for 40 yrs.
Currently the only owners of a lot of the properties are actual banks. The abandoned neighborhood that I documented had every single house technically owned by the new property manager of the facility they were building. If it's in illinois, I have a few people that work for the state that do some digging for me, and give me all the info I ask for usually. There has only been a handful of places that have the original owner's names on them. Generally an old couple that prepaid for a decade in advance or so.
That is very sad. Do you. Know. The. Name of the lardy. Hi passwaya
Yes, the lady's name was Jean. Thanks for the view
So sad
Indeed, very sad. Thank you for the view of my friend
How is it possible that the home hasn't been vandalized and valuables not stolen?
I thought the same thing. There aren't many homes nearby, and this couple may have been very loved. It is odd that someone random driving by didn't do something stupid, but I'm sure glad nothing like that happened. I appreciate the view very much
@@grimstravels3416 and I thank you very much for replying to me. I really hope someone secures the home soon or gets the belongings out before anything bad happens. Thank you for taking us on the tour.
I agree with you completely! The entire time I was there I really felt for them. I wish it was my family because I guarantee their pictures would be up in my halls. I appreciate all of your time.
The local govt. will put everything in a garbage skip, so those books from a Catholic school and girl scouts you may want to hand them in or to a local historical society or library 💡
I really want to do that. Because you are very right, everything will eventually be demolished and nothing saved. I just didn't want to be seen removing items as if I were stealing something. When exploring, I try to leave everything exactly the way I find it. But that is a great idea because this little family deserves better than what will inevitably happen. Thank you, and thanks a ton for the view.
@@grimstravels3416 send this video to the school and the historical society! They might be able to pull strings 😉
Phenomenal idea!!
@@grimstravels3416 If you do decide to go back and recover the items mentioned please salvage that photographic photo of the Lady ,in the cardboard packaging too. She or her husband had that especially made of her when she was in her prime. That photographic portrait can accompany the Catholic school book and girlscout books. 🙏
I will absolutely contact a few organizations to see if they have any interest. She deserves better than to have her possessions demolished. Thank you very much, this is why I love my subscribers so much.
Seems like she passed in her 60s. So young
Yeah that's way too young. I appreciate the view and comment.
And with sadness I see everything destroyed! It would be great if there were subtitles for our videos 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you very much for the view and comment. I don't know how to work the subtitles other than in English but I'm sure there is a way. Thank you for taking your time.
Sup from Kentucky
Kentucky is such a beautiful place. Hello from Chicago!... Not such a beautiful place hahaha
Why are there no cobwebs if this has been abandoned so long?
I actually come across that quite a bit. My assumption is usually when I see that, it's in a place with open windows and doors, and possibly the massive amount of wind is prohibiting cobwebs from forming. Just a guess. Thanks a ton for the view and comment.
I would like to say i can help you out .. i don't believe you were alone .. while in the attic i heard a female voice .. @ 15:06 .. i could not make out what was said but i did hear it .. check it out :)
Hey, thank you!!! I will check it out and enhance the audio. I appreciate the help!
I heard that too. Like it was downstairs.
I checked it out with a couple of my team members and we couldn't hear anything! I'll run it through a software to cancel out most of the noise and see if I could figure it out. Thank you guys so very much! I absolutely love my subscribers
@@grimstravels3416 I appreciate your respect as you filmed this.
@@SheenaRea Thank you very much. You would have to be less than human not to respect such a lovely lady. I still find myself thinking about her throughout the day. I appreciate you and your kind words
You possibly by the house and take it over
If at all possible, I would absolutely buy it and at least store all of the possessions to buy me time to contact different organizations that may want the items
Do These Houses Ever Get Sold ????? Xo peace
Most of the places I go to do have the property either on the market or the city has them on a demolition list but don't want to spend the money to actually do the work so they just sit for sometimes decades. I usually contact the city and get as many questions answered, unless I just stumble across a place and feel I don't have time for it. I truly appreciate the time you took to view and comment!
@@grimstravels3416 Oh Man That’s So Cool of You. !!! Wow wow. Xo ☮️
Absolutely love your comments. Please stick around hahaha
The old pics are awesome!too bad people rummage thru their stuff and jys leave it in shambkes!shambles! Part gets me mad!&to think mist have kids and they dint want to keep all the kiol stuff or take care of their old parents
I totally agree with you. And the last date I saw on something was 2001. As I was walking through, I saw no mention of children so part of me believes they didn't have any which is sad. They have a million memories and no one to pass them down to. Thank you for the view.
These guys that do this needs to wear gloves
Yeah usually we are pretty well prepared, this place however I was passing and had my equipment to film but not protection. Thankfully I did not get sick at all and never have so I've been lucky. Thanks for the view
When you go u can't take with You
Very sad and very true. Thanks for your time
My empire of dirt
Not entirely sure what this comment means, but I appreciate it and your time! LOL
I do wish you'd wear gloves .
Lol, I promise I am usually prepared. This was a very unexpected find. I did however wash up very good afterward.
Sad
Very. Thank you for your time however.
Those colors just burnt my retnas!
Put a For Rent sign out front. Make your self some money.
Hahaha I don't think I should take advice from someone called Swamp Donkey. LMAO thanks a lot for the view and comment!
