Why is there no discussion of the 3 Girl Scouts who were sexually assaulted and murdered in 1977?
@@lisas8244 that's another camp
My mom camped here back in the 1970s when she was 10! Crazy to know how close I live to an abandoned Girl Scout Camp!
I remember the 90's like it was yesterday. It is scary how fast nature reclaims things.
Dude.. no hesitation for me after that “go back” sign.. You’re a brave brave man Jared.
"Sign says stay away from tall grass."
*charges straight through tall grass*
Nice footage
Thank you for sharing this! I use to attend Girl Scout Camp there at Beechwood every Summer with scouts. This video is sad to watch knowing the Girl Scouts just left it go, but it brought back fond memories of my childhood and the happy times I had there. Below the GS camp is a boy scout camp down near the lake. Have you checked that out to see if it too was abandoned?
In 1929, the Girl Scouts of the USA purchased approximately 150 acres (0.61 km2) of land bordering Lake Ontario, where they subsequently built Camp Beechwood. The park was used by the Girl Scouts and other youth organizations for camping and outdoor activities until financial pressures forced the camp's closure in the late 1990s.
Google Earth coordinates = 43°16'4.70"N, 77° 1'49.85"W
It closed because 3 little girls were murdered there. They never opened back up.
@@carolinepayte8982 no that happened at a different camp
@@carolinepayte8982 that was Camp Scott
Around 17:13 - the plant Jared is looking at, and assuming probably debating trying, is called staghorn sumac. You can make a "lemonade" off of the red berries, but you want to wait 3 days after it's last rained at least, so you get the most mallic and gallic acid; the souring agents. You can nibble on the "berries" raw too, but there's not much to them; seed and papery skin. The flavor is in the acids on top of the skin and that is what you're really after. You steep in cold water for a number of hours/overnight, agitate, strain through cheesecloth, then sweeten to taste. Rich in vitamin c, and does taste similar to lemonade/ strawberry lemonade.
This is definitely great for growing your channel! I enjoy it. However, you do have to be careful when entering places with danger present. I've heard a lot of people saying that you should bring gloves and a mask and probably keep your guard up as we don't want you gone. Good luck with this!
Yeah good point. My biggest concern was coming across anyone who might be squatting there.
Weird Explorer best thing to do is to tell them that one of your kidneys doesn't work. 😉
This gives me Sleepaway Camp vibes. I was waiting for Angela to come out with her handy dandy axe.
lol "I actually have to pee right now but uh... I'm not gonna" You're outside in the middle of nowhere all alone. Just pee.
This video made me feel like I was watching a new Blair Witch movie. lol
Jared's Great Quest to Pee 2 : Scary Abandoned CampsiteComing to theaters today!
I'm questioning my thumbnail title now..
Awesome video! I love exploring places like that
17:15 - Staghorn sumac. You can make “lemonade”’from the berries.
I kept waiting for a jump scare. That really looks like the set of a found-footage horror movie, I'd be surprised if it hasn't inspired a few of them.
My family used to hang out up that way in the 70’s,camping boating etc. We were to this day broken hearted to what happened to these girls snd their families.
Those cabins look so familiar to me. I have been to a Girl Scout camp before- but it looked nothing like this. I think I have seen something like them
This was interesting I would like to see more of these it reminds me of the nature walks I used to take with my dad
I would love to stumble across something like this while hiking
it seems good
There is a channel on RUclips called "grizzlypeak" where a guy pretty much just goes around exploring old abandoned buildings/campsites like this. Unfortunately, he hasn't uploaded anything new in about two years now. Maybe he ran out of old abandoned sites in his area to film... OR MAYBE he finally poked around somewhere that someone didn't like him snooping around and made him "disappear." Hmm...
Gonna start doing some urbex, Jared? Lol, I think it's cool that you posted this. I'm subbed to a bunch of urban exploration channels.
Its not going to be a new focus or anything, but might do something again like this if I come across it. :)
id love to see more of these
I'm kinda surprised Homeless or tent communities haven't taken residence here. Most of the buildings have a wreck but that large hall with the fireplace still seems warmer than a tent.
That was a very creepy video! But your face in the rain at the end saved it! You look so "refreshing" the last few seconds of the video!
A moment after you mentioned ticks, there was definitely some kind of bug on your lens lol
The Girl Scouts should be made to go and remove all of those buildings. I'm so sick of people leaving their garbage behind and poluting nature!
That's a beautiful spot thank you for sharing 😄
Once again, great video Jared! Reminds me of "grizzlypeak" videos back when he was doing this sort of abandoned campsite exploring like you did here. But you did it perhaps even better -- I was laughing so hard at the "sex room" and the peep hole with a hidden mirror that peeps you back!
One curious thing was the abandoned swimming pool at 17:30. How does it stay empty like that? Wouldn't rain water tend to puddle up in it and create a breeding ground for mosquitoes? Did the park maintenance people put a drainage hole into it somewhere?
I'm surprised some carpenter seeking vintage barnwood to reuse hasn't offered to remove these, and then upcycle the wood - if it's lasted since the 20's...
Its still property of the park technically. Though since that one building had its exterior stripped off, someone actually might have done just that,
You should definitely check out camp Scott in Oklahoma where the three girl scouts died it's been abandoned since 1977
On the plus side, there seemed to be significantly fewer wasps that most camps have.
Enjoyed the tore
12:50 - How do you make it 99.9% of the way to the toilet hole and still miss!?
People... 🤦🏻♂️
I try to figure out the scenario about how that happened and then its like... "no I don't want to think about this" some mysteries are best left unsolved.
+Weird Explorer
Haha, you’re absolutely right.
Great video! You are a braver man than I. The first (and last) time I entered an abandoned building I was met by a squatter not very amused by my presence.
Among all those ominous, menacing signs (that you valiantly ignored), that "be kind, please rewind" in the swimming pool was heartwarming 🤣.
I find it amazing that people like to have sex in places like these... Or worse, that cave in Laos where so many people died...
I once peed in front of a squatter as he sat in his bushes and i was near him. He was pleased that i was of his kind :) LOL. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Nice JOB on this
All I can say , is it is sad that the boy scouts and girl scouts have pretty much met their demise😔
It's from much earlier than the 90s, it just hasn't been maintained since then.
Yeah its been used as a camp since 1929, closed in 1996
That pentagon cabin looked creeepy, I wonder how this camp would look like if it was still used today and not used for “other” purposes.
Wow, I never knew that you had urban exploration videos. Just watched them both, and they're very interesting.
Glad you like them!
@@WeirdExplorer I did, thanks Jared 😊
It's crazy and sad to think what once was and how over time all good things eventually fade away, life man i'll tell ya!🧐
The girl scout murders of 1977 probably helped this aspect of scouting fade away. That and trans crybabies wanting to be part of the girl scouts.
This would be a great location to film another Friday the 13th movie . Just saying looks like crystal lake ..
My girlfriend camped here in the 80s
You said this place is from the 90s and that you were surprised it's still standing. I would have been more surprising that they aren't. If they were built with even a modicum of skill/integrity I wouldn't be surprised to see them standing 50 years from now.
I thought this would be a good video to watch with my dinner.
Very interesting. Was this filmed recently? Seems that the trees should be bare and it should be much colder up there if you filmed in January.
I filmed it a few months ago when it was warmer :)
Editing does in fact take time!
That place look fantastic for foraging, if you know what to look for that is. You found sumac berries! are you going to do a review on them?
I didn't take them from there since I would like to review them and then make "sumac lemonade". I was staying at a hotel so the berries would have gone bad by the time I got to a kitchen. Next time though!
Cool, glad you know what they look like at the very least so you may find them again.
Jared, have you looked into the abandoned sections of the Pennsylvania turnpike in West PA?
No sounds interesting though. I've been wanting to take a trip out to Centralia for a while...
Weird Explorer was just thinking of that. I recommend a book called Pennsylvania Ghost Towns: Uncovering the Hidden Past by Susan Hutchinson Tassin, there are a bunch of abandoned cities in PA.
+Weird Explorer
Been there! Eerily devoid of movement. DO be careful where you drive, some bits look safe, but...
Isn't this the same girl scout camp where those 3 little girls were murdered in that late 70's? Camp Scott
Not the same place
@@WeirdExplorer Yes, those murders occurred in Oklahoma. Camp Scott never reopened after the murders in 1977 after being in operation for 49 years. From the pics I have seen of Camp Scott, it was laid out very similar to this one that you just toured. All tents were elevated off the ground just like these. I suppose back in the day, that is just how they were set up all over the country. Wish you could do a tour of Camp Scott someday if you haven't already. I'm curious as to how it looks now.
@@beedifrnt nothing much left at Camp Scott it's all rotted away.
I'm glad you didn't meet Jason!
Josh Carpenter - haha nice
Looks just like the kind of place Jamie Lee Curtis would be wandering around in the middle of the night. I kinda wanted “the Chicken Lady” to pop out in one of the buildings and scream “hiiiii!”
I would be terrified at first, but as a kids in the hall fan, I would have liked that too
Weird Explorer Ha, so glad you got the reference. :-))). BTW did the medlars get to you okay?
Jared!, I think they really should have torn those buildings down for public safety..
agreed, but I'm kind of glad they didn't since they were fun to explore :)
You brave soul!
What not to watch at 1am, Too late I wish I wasn't lol.
Same
Someone’s mowing the grass, the site is pretty clean
2:09 is that the bridge for GS bridging ceremony ?
I think it was just a fallen cabin.
17:08 people are talking. Campers, hikers, perhaps?
that's just the wind. It always sounds like children playing when it goes through the trees there.
The cabins haven’t changed a bit, the new ones are exactly the same just not ripped up 😂
My husband and i have camped at Beachwood it was awesome it was 2020.
*insert jump-scare here*
I was waiting for something to jump out the entire time...
This was a Girl Scout park. Opened in the 20’s.
Three little girls were raped and murdered there and it was closed around 1970. Killer was never caught. Check out “Girl Scout murders” it’s very sad
not this place. the girl scout murders happened in Oklahoma.
It was in 1977.
I actually own the property that was the former Camp Scott. 👍🏻
Cool video 👍👌😎
Well, I was a Campfire Girl back in the 1970s, and I'm sure there's nothing this untoward in OUR history...heh heh heh....
I like how the graffiti artists at 20:00 got into theological debate. Pretty sure if God exists they'd grown on you grafitting places
The vibe of the video reminds me of Slenderman games. Should have made one as a joke.
Definitely not a girl scout outhouse. Girl scouts dig their own latrines, and cover them over when they leave. Yes, even in circumstances like this.
Sometimes there are Environmental Toilets, which is basically a hole in the ground with a toilet bowl and seat on top (but no plumbing) in a closet. And a hand water pump, if your lucky. You have to bring your own toilet paper, soap, and towels though.
is this scott camp iin oklahoma?
So was that area with all the cabins a seperate camp back in the day?
This was probably a large campground with several different campsites one of platform tents, cabins and glen shelters and a primitive tent site as well. This campground was probably used by hundreds of girls at a time.
What was that blue tarp under the floor board at 3:43 in the "Go back" building? shit.... that's suspect.
What an interesting fruit! Can’t wait to get my hands on one:) -_- shame......”bell”.....shame
The fruit videos are my main series, but I intend to make more types of content especially since I started posting twice a week. Its more fun for me this way and helps expand my audience. A new fruit video will be up Wednesday.
Weird Explorer oh yeah im jokin I’m just saying that old cabin fruit looked delicious!
I look forward to it!
You deserve a like 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Did you find out who keeps the grass cut?
ghosts
actually I saw a bunch of service roads and such, they maintain the site for hikers... somewhat at least. :)
You could have cool camping trips there - Camp fire ghost stories -- Boo!!!
Came to this video after watching Jaskinho do his 2 part randonautica video here (pretty sure same place).
cabin fever.
A new "Blair Witch" movie??!
You look like Jemaine Clement from flight of concords show 😂
This is such a darn shame! If this place is a state park why can’t the state put some money into repairing this? Looks like it was amd could be a really great place! Thanks for the explore! I enjoyed it and stay well and be safe!!
I somehow liked it, but on it's finest days.
This reminds me of camp redwood from American horror story. Pls watch out for Mr Jingles😆😆
definitely felt like an episode of American horror story 😐
I was saying out loud don't go there Jered just don't!
I could hear talking at 17:15
Daark Actually, it's at 17:05, but yeah, I heard it too. Creepy, right?
You mentally ill types always hear voices.
@@sanfrancisco9661 great one liner.
Sad to see. Central and Southern illinois just lost all of there gs camps. Youth just aren't interested anymore and these organizations are fighting to survive.
Heartagram 👍🏻
I'm a boondocker and I think the campsite I am camping in is hunted I got a app don't know if it warked
isn't this the same camp where the 3 little girls got murdered in the 70s ?
That was Camp Scott somewhere in Oklahoma 1977 that tragedy happened.
90s??? More like the 70s.
have you tasted kepel fruit??
I haven't found it yet :/
please visit indonesia for an exclusive episode about kepel fruit.
I'm hoping to get out that way over the summer if I get the time.
more interessting than i thought it would be
12:05 WHAT ARE THOSE!!!!
More urban exploration please. Should go back there at night...
No way I'd go back at night, it would be terrifying yeah, but I wouldn't want to run into any body that has made the place their home.
. . . At night . . . !
The fallen tree looks oddly like a trident , Sasquatches' run that place, I watched this a second time in slow motion trying to see them all🔱 lol I liked that Ominous looking shed I heard if you go there at sundown you can get a free hug 🥴🤡what was the name of the scouts? the horny lil devils or something oh my 🤭the fun seems to start around 6:20...Just Sayin.
didnt luna go here?
actually it was a camp from 1970s and the camp closed in 1977 not 1997
Hey Kaylynn, May I ask how you happened across my video? I think this video is getting recommended when people look up the camp where some murders happened. This is a different camp.
So creepy lol
Why? Do you do this often?did you find any fruit?🤨🧐
3 sided shelters
Doesn't know what a canvas tent frame is (never was a Boy Scout), completely missed the Flag Field, the Pioneer Lodge, the Main Lodge, Camp Pixie, and ... oh ... the shore of one of the ten largest freshwater bodies on the planet ... oh, and the whole this place is scary thing ... seems like you don't get out much.
How do you know about Pioneer and Pixie? You’re a ….BOY!
When 3 Girl Scouts girl were murdered there it was during a thunderstorm.....
U wont melt whinny
So after doing a ton of research between all accounts in the last few days. Not knowing of this event. There seems to be some discrepancies on what they chose to use for the prosecution of who committed these crimes. And everything I've looked at they never mentioned the fourth girl. Because the fourth girl says I saw a box of donuts outside the tent as they were getting ready to go to bed. one of the scout leaders came and got her and put her in her correct tent. Another account says I saw three flashlights coming towards them during the same time period and they screamed and the lights went away. Another account says that somebody tripped her that had khaki shorts and Boots. There was three boys that bragged about this and one of them ended up getting killed. Months later. During this time period in America there was all kinds of crazy pornography and comic books about killing women. To say that these boys did not see those things. Considering how the crimes were acted out. Because Ted Bundy saw the first wave of comic books like this if we're released in the late 40s and 50s. Everything in those comic books were the exact way that Ted Bundy carried out all his murders down to the sick sexual acts committed on his victims. When you put that kind of screwed up stuff in front of the young male. You can't predict how it's going to affect your thinking. We're talking elementary School age. There's no way it could have been those three boys.
This is a different camp.. can you tell me how you came across my video. I've been getting lots of comments about the camp killings. I'm starting to wonder if someone linked my video on a blog or something.
Camp scott murders.
Hey lunas vid
UUUUMMMMMM, actually, this camp closed down right after the murders. That's what the other video says. It has been abandoned since 1977. What you are seeing is probably from squatters and runaways. I don't mean to be rude, but you should have probably looked into your information before you did this video.
What murders?
The camp Scott murders June of 1977 in Oklahoma
