Let's do this!! Whenever you are ready to urbex with me, hit me up, Josh!!
I just bought a spirit box and I’m SO excited to go ghost hunting!
Thank u
Um,great video but alil more research, or more talking to locals would really make this video educational (like i hoped) rather than just a tour of places and saying how cool it looks. You saidyourself tht it's the story thts Interesting not just what's left. So wheres the stories! I'm likely to go find another video about this town afterwards to get the full story. U could be a one stop shop if u added abit more history /facts into your video. Just a suggestion.. :) no hate,love from New Zealand
Subscribed to svx explorations now, shout out tht channel!
Josh you should cover more towns like this as the economy tanks, sadly I think there will be plenty. We gotta start manufacturing our own stuff again.
Yes!! Cairo IL is also another place he should visit
The only problem with manufacturing our own stuff again...let's say a pair of jeans, made in the USA would cost close to $80. instead of $15 to $20. The cost of "things" would go through the roof. You would have people going without what is considered normal today.
Manufacturing is 90% low income or will be done by robots in no time. USA really wants to compete with China, Vietnam, India and so on for Jobs which will be a job for robots in 5 or 10 years? Who is supposed to buy American made if it's made for 1/4 the price in Asia or soon Africa? It does make sense for high priced goods but not for the normal stuff
I don't think that "Manufacture our own stuff" is going to work until the American Politicians are paid Millions by the Chinese to outsource their need to CHINA. Choose better leaders who are not corrupt. 👍
@@CarstenNRW What you said is entirely true. We have to switch our economy towards service jobs, that’s what’s the future (and even present) of highly developed countries in the 21st century.
When my dad died 3 years ago . The funeral home told me that a lot of times people just leave the ashes there and they don't ever come and get them. Sometimes they just don't have the funds or something happened to them.
crazy
That is very untrue
This is crazy.... I live here... look the town might look run down because a lot of it is.. but there are a lot of parts that people have taken care of. People have lived here for years and call it home. SHOOT I wish we could of given you a tour. I grew up in this area and have had some of my beat moments with my friends and family. I've never lived any where else, it's crazy to see you in our hometown after watching for so many years!!
It's a shame he was so misinformed with his "facts"
I REALLY hope he responds to you, it'd be cool of him to have a local take him around the place for sure
@@mickschnabel he's to stuck up for that
@@coreybabcock2023 you're probably right about that, don't know if he's ever responded to any comments! And I've been subscribed to him for quite a while now
@@mickschnabel he's only trying to benefit himself
Hi Josh! I would say that the abandoned radio station that you were in was a Contemporary Christian Radio Station. The vinyl record that you pulled out was Carmen who was a Christian Artist who in fact, passed away two years ago this month. When you showed the shelves of Cds, I saw names like Audio Adrenaline, DC Talk and Petra. Those people are all Christian recording artists. Anyone who grew up with Christian music like I did would love to get a hold of all those CDs and records! There are probably some very rare recordings there! It's a shame that it's all going to be ruined by water and possibly the roof caving in. I love those old houses! Gorgeous!
Yes, you are correct with that
We should go get that stuff
Why not go get it ?
That explains why it looked like that dude had an apple
Yeah, it was a Christian radio station. My wife grew up listening to that station and we still live in Salem County. They actually played a lot of Christian Punk like Ghoti Hook and the like. I didn’t realize there were so many albums just chilling in there like that.
I live near Salem City. It's heartbreaking every time I have to drive through that town. The architecture is absolutely amazing with gingerbread, floor-to-ceiling windows, gothic fireplaces and cast iron fences. Some of the first homes that were built in America are in Salem. Some people are buying (the property is dirt cheap) and restoring, but it's a hard go because there is so much crime, no one wants to live there. Slumlords buy the big Victorians up, chop them up into apartments on the cheap and then rent to people who are poor. Regarding the old lady in the nursing home and her abandoned home--I actually visit her. My daughter who was working in the nursing home told me about an old lady who needed a visitor. She doesn't have any family. Not a soul. I think she's 90-years-old now. Her husband was a teacher and she was an artist. She did a lot of tapestry, sewing, and fashion. She loved that house. She hated leaving it but I believe she was robbed a few times. I haven't seen her in a while because of Covid but this was a reminder to visit. I wish the "leaders" of Salem County would figure out a way to save Salem City.
I live in NJ as well, do you think there is hope for salem? So much id like to ask you. Was considering buying there but was told No 1000 times
@@dougfenton8755 if you have time to wait. I heard they are building a plant or something on the waterfront to build solar panels. That will bring lots of jobs. Hoboken used to be a dump (I am originally from Jersey City). It was so bad, you didn't tell anyone your relatives lived there because you were embarrassed. Now it's all restored because people who work in NYC moved there. It's an easy commute across the river. Now you have to be rich to live there. The brownstones, once crumbling and full of rats, go for millions of dollars now. Salem reminds me of that.
It's so sad. I grew up in salem. The drugs have taken over ppls lives and they don't take care of their things or homes.
My aunt Blanche Hogate was a leader in salem and helped with the Fenwick plaza.
I miss seeing your exploring videos. I would love to see a part 2 and 3 of this place. I love seeing old places and hearing their stories
That may be one of the overall saddest places you've explored. Often it's just one business or home with a few buildings, but an entire town with some people still trying to survive is heartbreaking 💔
it’s very sad. I live the next town over. people from here aren’t gonna appreciate hearing how “poor” we are lol salem has looked like this for years
@@laciguenther7576 I hope the areas will be able to bring prosperity back to your community. Hug
I live in Salem it’s not that bad
@kermitdefrog I'm glad to hear it. I wish you continued happiness and good health. 💕
Josh.......show us the full story.....from picking where you explore, the equipment you choose, who goes.....a full story from start to finish including the editing process, deciding what goes in the end film and what doesn't. That would be great.
Love it!! Classic EWJ!!
Also I had lived in Salem for almost my whole life it’s not that bad
There are many things to love about Salem, and many positive things that come from the community. There are amazing and selfless people that live in Salem and we pour SO much love into our community. Everyone tries to help everyone. Our teachers are the most amazing people and change the lives of the kids here. Violence is everywhere. Unfortunately, it’s showcased here more than anything else. Also- a lot of our buildings have soooo much history and life behind them! We have ghost tours-based on our own history!
You should take a trip down market street - where a lot of the beautiful homes still stand and yes, people live in them!
Unfortunately he only gives a small glimpse of the good things that are happening in the town ....guess there are more views in the rundown than the positive!
Your so rgt! I grew up in salem and every store was open on Broadway. Houses were beautiful. John Fenwick founded that town and made a treaty with the native Americans. John Fenwick named the town salem which stood for friendly. The John Fenwick boat was at the school for years. The flag shows John Fenwick shaking hands with the Indians. I remember pledging the allegiance, singing, before school started. Salem had great schools. I'm glad you commented too.
Such a great explore Josh. It' s a real shame to see a town become so empty. Just be super careful in these abandoned houses, you never know who may be hiding out in them.
The victorian houses are so beautiful, hope Salem get used for filming horror films or something. Love the random shape of tht beauty parlor, just how victorian villas were built, we have the same shapes in our new Zealand Victorian homes, not tht we have so many, but the ones left have so much character!
Hey Josh, I just want to say I really really love your videos and thanks for all the effort you put in we really appreciate every video uploaded on this channel❤️ I've been watching you now for almost 3 years
So excited for this episode 🥰 I admire all of Josh's time and dedication.
i've been watching Josh's videos for like 5-6years and the effort and time that goes into these videos
cease to amaze me and they never get old
I haven’t got a video recommended to me by RUclips in a year. And im subscribed. The AG sucks.
8:00 The witch trials in Salem MA took place between February 1692 and May 1693. Salem NJ was founded in 1675, ergo it existed before the witch trials. The name Salem is derived from the Hebrew word shalom, meaning peace.
This is probably the best abandoned video I've seen in years. Josh, please come back to this place!
I’ve just recently been watching ur videos and can’t believe the places you’ve gone. Lots of respect as some I’d be a bit afraid to go and explore. But thanks for doing them and being true to you and sharing with the world and living your dream. You’re definitely a wise soul!
Much appreciated
i have watched your channel since you went to your old middle school and maybe even before then, its insane to see how many abandoned places there are. keep up the videos, i love how you tell the stories about all of the abandoned places you go to it is very entertaining!
So sad to see a town basically die. Happens so much. How one industry basically provided for a whole town.
I genuinely look forward to your videos every week Josh! I’ve been watching your channel for 7 years and I’ve never been disappointed 🔥
It’s surprising how expensive some of those abandoned homes are going for. My way abandoned homes are in the teens. This town some are in the hundreds no wonder why the town is dying and not getting fixed up.
My dad worked at that glass factory for 37 years, when it was Anchor Hocking. I remember going to Salem a lot as a child. There were so many shops and restaurants, all gone now.
Ugh that radio station is so sad, what a waste just letting it rot. The city hall building is beautiful. You are doing a great job preserving our history as it crumbles away.
I love the "monitors from the 80s" we still used those up to the early 2000's 😅 geez were getting old hahaha
Awesome video! Would love a part 2 and 3!! Many blessings and safe travels ❤️
Absolutely amazing video. I love abandoned towns but this one sets it over the top. I would definitely love to see more spots in Salem New Jersey. Great work Josh.
Absolutely wouldn't know what to do without ur videos. I've grown up watching you! Love seeing a different side to your filming❤️ keep it up
I love your haunted videos but I love your exploring videos more it’s the fact you give the history and respect the places you go it’s awesome watching you explore these places.
Josh is like a kid in a candy store!
Love this explore Josh and so happy to see you and Steve together doing what you do best I really really really really want to part two and a part three because I love abandoned towns like this for semi-abandoned and I need to know more Keep up the great work Love you guys stay safe 💖
I love this. I'm from NJ but hours from Salem. It's really awesome seeing similar architecture throughout Jersey. I've always been curious about our Salem and it's sad what's happening there, but I'm glad you're sharing this and bringing awareness. Great video as always!
Glad you finally did New Jersey. There's actually a lot of haunted places . Thank you Josh!! 😎🤩
Love the ghost hunting stuff more but the exploring is great too. Great video man
I grew up there my whole life and moved to pennsville when I was 21. It was a great town. Every store on Broadway was open too. I have many childhood memories I cherish. I'm just thankful Salem was a nice town when I lived there. My house did have spirits. Some good some bad. Alot of homes were like that. I lived at 51 seventh street. John Fenwick named that town. Salem means welcome, friendly. Their were native American Indians that lived there in the early times. John Fenwick founded that town. The creek all the way down on seventh Street was known to have spirits. My sister and I believe that the native American people lived on the field of the seventh street field. I know alot about that town.
Love your exploring videos and those vinyls are probably worth a fortune as they’re making a big comeback x
I would love to see way more "behind the scenes", always enjoying these
Amazing.awesome.thanks Josh for interesting tours.keep safe.
Amazing video exactly the video I needed to see. You're an inspiration. Been around since the beginning.
Coolest guy on youtube, coolest exploration ever did , such a vibe 80s 90s vibe this is priceless..
Josh it's great to see you in Steve together you both are the best
Josh we love you we watch your videos all the time please keep up the great work. Coming this March is me and my wife’s 8 year anniversary and you are the first channel we subscribe to
Another great video I absolutely appreciate all the hard work you put into making contents keep up the good work
I love watching your explore adanoded places videos ❤
Wait until Josh finds out there's more than 2 towns called Salem, or better yet, tons of towns called Springfield...
Yep. Over half of the states have a Salem in them.
He is so young and inexperienced in life. Not saying that in a bad way. It’s just that he has so much to learn as he gets older about the world and our country.
@@LA-nm4mn It' really more of an indictment of the poor education system in the US these days.
Love the content man been subscribed for years and the content is always genuine and amazing man keep it up!
This was so crazy to see! And sad to know those beautiful houses will probably never have life in them again. Thanks for all the effort you put in, Josh. I enjoyed hearing Andy's stories as well. Would definitely like to see more behind the scenes stuff too. Especially if it involves food lol. 🍜🍜🍜
Yo I live in Salem and I can say it’s not that bad
And also the footage he’s filming is only the bad parts he didn’t show like any good parts because where I live in Salem is really nice and peaceful
It looks lie Salem was a beautiful town once. The houses are gorgeous and some very stylish. The Old Bank was exceptional. An excellent video.
What an interesting and adventurous video Josh! Well done and how awesome you guys got the locals involved. Love these stories and thank you 🙏🏼
I really enjoyed this type of video, Josh! Please do more. I would love to learn about more towns, their story, and the present. Keep it up!
I live close to that area here in New Jersey. Most of South Jersey is pretty derelict and dilapidated because all the factories were shut down. Course we can sync our previous presidents, starting with Bush for outsourcing those jobs to China and other places for cheap labor. When that happens, all of the blue-collar workers lost their jobs, couldn’t afford housing, and moved out, or became homeless, and then addicted to drugs. It’s really sad. You should look up Wheatons glass factory in Millville. Same thing happened there. But that’s what happens when government decides to outsource for cheaper labor. Americans end up homeless.
So sad to see a beautiful town just neglected and slowly fading away. Such beautiful homes that could be saved and lived in. Great explore Josh! Xxx
I'm excited to see a new episode, Josh. I appreciate you exploring abandoned places. Keep up the amazing work. I love to see more episodes coming 🙌 😍 ☺️ 🤗
love this so much!!!! you're the best creator
In the theater Teenagers sat in the back so some could chat and some could “make out”. The upper middle was for people with kids so if the kids put up a fuss the parents could drag them out real quick. The middle and the front were for the serious movie goers.
Where is Seth? I miss you two together! Love your content Josh. I'm 50 and my kids think I'm weird lol. Keep it coming!!
Seth and I come back startin next week haha
Thanx josh for showing the abandoned salem.i like the look of city hall building.keep up good work.
Hi Josh love your videos and content. Be careful and safe. Made my day to see a video from you today ❤❤❤❤❤
This was a great video! Sad to see those houses sink in to disrepair
Glad you enjoyed
i used to think these kinds of places exist only in horror movies - turns out they exist in real life :o
Good to see you going back to your roots ! You and Steve make the ultimate team !
Cool exploring josh look forward to seeing next video all the best seth 🇬🇧✌️
It is so sad to see stuff like that but also interesting. There needs to be specific funds or something so towns like that can be restored and bring back people. Or just the houses for the homeless at least until they can get on their feet and the towns get restored
I just happened to look it up, there is 26 different Salem's in 26 different states. 😲
You always work very hard to bring us amazing content Josh! The last video and this one were both very cool!! Stay safe! 💜
What an excellent find , really interesting spot josh . How cool 😎 is Andy . You and Steve really do find the best places with really interesting history
I was out there a few months ago making pick ups and it was just pure sadness.
Really appreciate how much work and research you put into these videos Josh!
You have an amazingly unique and calm way of filming, it's the best 👌🏼 you're so great to watch 💜🖤
Salem County is full of history in nearly every corner, but somehow over the years, the money to be made has dwindled. Deepwater, Salem, Pennsville - they've all suffered and are only barely kept alive by a few businesses (Acme, post office, etc.). Definitely more to explore here, so I hope you take the time to show how beautiful it really is.
Josh if you go back look into the town’s haunted history. There is many different urban legends out there.
Yo I find this very ironic with the current news about Bruce Willis and his dementia. This town serves almost as a symbol for his current state of mind 🙁
I LIVE IN THE TOWN OVER I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE IN MY AREA 🤗😲🥰 Fan girling so hard!!!! FYI i watched Shrek 2 in that movie theater!!! That theater unfortunately had 2 fires since its been closed. I cant believe how much is still there. The seats were on an incline/hill so people could see. Also I actually worked in salem at the county court house! Theres so much history including parts of the underground railroad. Salem used to be home to the Salem Oak tree where some settlers and the indigenous of the area signed a peace treaty, it unfortunately finally fell a few years back!
wow thats crazy!!
Salem, NJ is like the dream place for urban explorers!! Of course I want to see more of it!!! Loved it!! 👍👍🖤
7:52 Salem...
There is a Salem, Oregon too!
EDIT: 22 towns in America are named 'Salem' 🤯🤯🤯
(I had to google it 😁)
Dude I grew up on albums and I am only 50 so it wasn't that long ago you need to do your history. When I was a kid there were 8 tracks look them up.
Thanks josh I love your abandoned videos. Grate filming 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like vlog style videos! It would be nice to see behind the scenes.
And, this episode was cool. I liked it a lot.
❤️ Thanks for your work Josh.
Great video Josh wow that place was deserted! Great content though, look forward to seeing yr next video thanks for sharing 👍🤘💖
I know you shouldn’t take from abandoned buildings but that record collection must have some diamonds hidden in there and it seems such a shame for them to be left to decay.
You should come to Slovenia (not Slovakia ✌️) you will love it, there are a lot of abandoned places, castels and more, Croatia and Slovenia are full of places like that 💯🔝
Hey Josh, here's some info for ya:
• 21:33 - SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS
• 21:09 - BARGEBOARD - or rake fascia is a board fastened to each projecting gable of a roof to give it strength and protection, and to conceal the otherwise exposed end grain of the horizontal timbers or purlins of the roof.
• 23:49 - QUEEN ANNE style.
• 25:34 - TICKET BOOTH.
• 26:38 - CONCESSION STAND - THAT'S the concession stand.
• 28:00 - MOVIE THEATER - Yup that's how it was back in the day before we even had wheels and had to walk up hill both ways to school....in the snow year round.....with no shoes. 😂
• 30:30 - BRUCE WILLIS - Has Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia. 😥
• 31:45 - SCUBA GEAR - Are you even scuba certified? 🤔
• 32:32 - SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES.
• 35:51 - ABANDONED ASHES - Family members don't claim the remains or mismanagement.
• 37:17 - BALTIMORE - Why stay there and not in Philadelphia which is closer to Salem, NJ?
Stay safe and take care. 😇
Great exploration as always 🎉
there's another town named Salem in Arkansas
Yeah it’s a smaller town near the Missouri border.
@@MyDreamIsAStory yeah, I'd either pass it or go through it when I went to mountain home or Missouri
You should come back at night I reckon it'll be more
Creepier
I love gothic architecture. Love the emphasis of details. Thanks for exploring and sharing. Cheers 🍻
For the record, while there are many abandoned buildings, Salem is not a ghost town. There are many residents who live there still, including my aunt, and my grandparents until they passed in 2015/2017. There’s also a full school system and a thriving football team. Please share the full story of a community when providing coverage please. Salem native here, who still goes to visit her aunt.
Also, the movie theater is in a neighboring town named Pennsville.
Every town like this have plenty of people still there. Most people won’t abandon houses and property they bought or inherited because they grew up there. They take care of it regardless if they live an hour away.
Lady, the leftover crackheads don’t count 😂
I grew up in salem. I have great childhood memories I'll always treasure. The Lenape Indians were in this town. John Fenwick founded this town and had a peace treaty with the Lenape Indians. John Fenwick named the town salem which means salem. There is alot of history here. Pennsville movie theater closed unfortunately. I do remember one in salem and my dad said there were 2 when he was growing up.
Josh.. you by far are my favorite explorer. Been subbed for years. Please go back and do a Part 2! Josh come to Haunted Hill View Manor in New Castle Pa. It wont disappoint!
Josh you always have amazing videos love old places and enjoy your videos and I share your video with my husband stay safe and stay strong.
I was waiting for josh or Sam and Colby to come to Salem county there’s so much history in the county that one video can’t truly cover it all, hope y’all come back!!!
I fell in love with the blue house, omg i need exactly one like this❤️ great video, love it like always
Such cool architecture I’m this town. I’d love to go explore with Josh he’s so enthusiastic about these places. Been watching you for years Josh.. keep it up
Would love to see behind the scenes ❤️Love your videos Josh ☺️

Hi josh, I really really, enjoyed that thank you for sharing 🙏❤️
Reminds me of the West Texas town I grew up in. So sad to see so many beautiful, old homes rotting.
Josh! YES, we wanna see behind the scenes! ❤️❤️❤️
Love your hard work Josh ❤️
