Homes left this way are a sad reminder of how short of a time we have here on earth and how all of these belongings 'we think we need' mean nothing at all.
Dawnten 2015 I love it, keeps me motivated doing them things I love.. That is nothing.
the older I get the less "Stuff" matters. I lugged my Mom and Dad's household stuff up and down the east coast, stored it ect. Finally I sold or donated it. One piece was my Mom's Hutch. It was a Huge piece of furniture.......I was selling some other b stuff inside the house during a yard sale. This Hispanic Family with 2 little girls were looking at it and the wife was looking into her husband's eyes to ask me about it. I said it wasn't for sale and they moved on. As they left the wife stopped again and her eyes were watery. In broken English she said her Grandma had the same one. Exactly. I could Feel my Mom telling me to do it. It was almost $3000 new in the Early 80s and it was mint. They had no money really so I said $25. I lugged it around 19 95 to 2014. They didn't have the cash and as they made a few calls to find it I told the wife she could have it. She said she wouldn't do that. She knew I was really giving it to them at that price but she had to pay for it. They found the $25 and I gave them a couple of shovels and tools the husband could use. As they left I told her my Mom would have wanted her Family to have it. She said she knew that. She said she is a see 'er and that Mom was standing behind me they whole time she was there. She also said my Mom knows I am still Troubled losing her and one day we will all be together again. We are both in tears now but they were Happy Tears. The Lady and Husband Hugged me and left. this whole thing took longer to write than live it. They were nice Folks......And I knew my Mom didn't care if I found new homes for her "Stuff"
+Greg Smith Greg that is one of most selfless things that I have heard of on You tube. You did a good thing. Not too many people in the world left like you. The only stuff that matters to me are my family, my guitars and my family photo albums. I have a ton of stuff from 3 different inheritances and really none of it really matters. Hold your head very high because what you did was the ultimate gesture of kindness! I loved your story! Your mom looks down at her son and has a beaming smile ear to ear on her face!
+Greg Smith bs
+Greg Smith omg beautiful.
I found an abandoned house in the country like this once. I think I found it before the vandals did. Food still in the fridge and dirty dishes in the dishwasher. But the strangest thing of all was the Christmas tree was up and still had presents under it. Even the fireplace in the room still had the stockings hanging. I went back to check the house again months later and vandals had struck. I noticed someone had nailed up a blanket over the doorway leading to where the Christmas tree was and when I moved the blanket the room was warm and there were embers in the fireplace! I got scared and got outta there! Lol! Must have been being used by squatters or something. I never went back after that! But I always wondered what could have happened to those people who lived there and why did they leave everything.. Oh if only the walls could talk :)
pipsumpter Absolutely crazy. Its always remarkable when things left behind show that people just up and vanished
thats so weird and so sad... when you see this things, you only can think that something terrible might have happened to that family...
You should of at least looked to see what the xmas presents were.
+Abandoned Exploration I should have, I even thought about it but didn't. It felt wrong to me, like invasion of privacy. Which is stupid because it was totally abandoned! Lol! Now I'll always wonder..what was in those presents
+pipsumpter How cool! Wish you had videoed it
I say someone died and no one came in to take the personal stuff. Pictures and things like family heirlooms left to rot make me sad.
Kat Willhite Yeah, its shocking. I have never been in an abandoned home that had this much stuff left behind
I left a home like this with all my belongings because of being too sick to pack and had no place to go with my stuff.
Ah I miss these videos. Glad to see TCB has moved up, but still, I do miss these old abandoned home walkthroughs.
The lone straight backed chair in the attic was very spooky
I was expecting to see Beth and Daryl sitting in there somewhere drinking some shine.
Ha! I know exactly what you are talking about
Haha omg I just recently watched that episode
I'm gonna laugh my ass off if one day he accidently breaks into someone's house thinking its abandoned
thank God there wasn't a dead dog in that cage! would have put me on a downer for weeks.
I am almost positive the resident was Jefferson Daniel (Jace) Floyd of the Hiwassee, NC township. You can view his obituary at the Townson Rose Funeral Home website.
the old guy probably went to hospital and passed away and family just left the place as is after taking what they wanted(stove). Did you close the the door when you left? You should.
You have just made my "people to preserve in case of the fall of civilization" list. Good work!
Sweet!
Adam Cortright Can I be in it too? I can forge weapons and cook pretty good!
Well, this was kinda weird indeed! In spite of the disarray, ya know what's missing? Spray-painted walls from vandals. And apparently, everything including clothing and personal photos, was indeed left behind. I gather the owners were good -ole-boy Christian types; and with all those dream-catchers hanging around, they were afraid of something. Am I the only one who picks up "bad vibes" from this place? I suspect they may have been run off by a "haunting," whether real or imagined. Just a hunch.
agreed
They even left a half-track bottle of Pepsi. You catch that? That was one of the oddest things in the entire video. If I were there, I'd have taken a good long look at it.
I also saw a early/mid 2000s white DirecTV remote. So the place was abandoned for at least a decade.
Earl V If I lost weight, it was by accident :)
+The Carpetbagger I see hank Williams house he lives in a cabin
Hey I just stumbled upon your channel and I must say I really love your videos and your work you are by far the best than the other ones I've seen I don't know what to say, you're the best. you've got yourself a sub.
bentobox Carpetbagger, is a very likeable guy. I agree
+bentobox really appreciate it
+bentobox A double steak and cheese sub.
Sometimes I wish the people who made these video's would take the time to look up the history of these places and narrate them. Who lived there and why the houses were abandoned. Did the people die or fall on hard times. Just saying.
You are welcome to do your own research on your own videos
+Robert Johnson Agree with you Robert. Regarding comment about "own video below" that's a fine comment for a private video but when you are publishing it to make money, you have to think a little, learn video techniques, research and keep the camera in focus. However, in his defence, judging by his weight and breathing he may not expect to live long enough to do things like research.
Kind of like I thought. Someone lived there until they died and nobody did anything with the house. Kind of sad - looks like a lot of his family died before he did.
@@IanRM I know this is a 4 year old comment but usually places like these that isnt a buisness and looks to be in the middle of nowhere they usually dont have much info behind it and putting someone down because of their weight is such a dick thing to do
I keep waiting for a person to be standing behind you and yelling, "Get out of my house!!" Very creepy, the creepiest thing I have ever seen on youtube, and its something so simple. Thanks for being so brave Carpetbagger, I couldn't have done it.
Appreciate it, it was pretty spooky
That's what a house looks like when the owner is arrested or dies.
It is creepy. I used to totally be into Urban exploring until 2 houses finally put me off. One had an old man in it that some family had dumped him in the middle of winter. That one wasn't too bad. Called the cops to go save him.
But the second one had been abandoned for a long time but it had tons of Nazi shit in it, a surgical suit set up and a locked giant freezer on a back porch that was running by an orange cord that ran off into a corn field. That did it from my Hobbie of walking around abandoned houses.
***** I know!!! It that creepy or what? And it looked new and well kept. Not just some old abandoned operation. (No pun intended) And there were many books about the Nazi's and posters etc. And we even came across a gun and a lot of bullets in one closet near the operating suit. I was with my boyfriend at the time and he didn't fear much. But once we saw that locked freezer he couldn't get out of there fast enough.I had never seen him so afraid! It was one of those freezers big enough to hold a person. And there was something SO ominous about that orange cord (for electricity) running off into the corn field. Why was it so important to keep whatever was in there frozen? We called the police anonymously. But they didn't believe us. All they wanted to know was our names and why we were tresspassing. We didn't feel comfortable giving out that info. So we just hung up hoping they would at least check it out.
+P.Gallo AllAmericanAngel Thats kind of amazing, im assuming that was in america, I cant go doing this stuff right now because im kind of young and Live in southern England. There are a few of these abandoned places near the north that I have seen, would love to check it out some day. So I ask, did you have more positive or negative experiences doing what you did?
this has all of the signs of a meth house
Awesome video and the hank Williams joke made me laugh!
Crazy when everything is left like this.. wow!!
nice video,Jason...I love it!Be safe
The walls have a secret
At 3:05, looks like the piece of mail is addressed to Jefferson Floyd. But it also says 'or current resident' so he may not have lived there. Ask at the post office, they may tell you the situation there. I'm a mail carrier and we know what's up with most houses on our routes.
+Tess Hinkle **Edited to remove blah blah blah nothing to see here folks move on!** Decided it's best to remove that.
Interesting. I like digging around in old abandoned houses too. Makes you wonder what happened there.
+Tess Hinkle It does - darn curiosity. I do hope it wasn't tragic. While I've done a bit of exploring myself, the research of the who, what, why intrigues me more. I decided to remove the bit I posted for privacy concerns. Name is one thing - probably a dozen with that name. I shared too much.
an inhaler, not a nubulizer, he died & someone got the valuables, but didn't clean, theres no way a wheel chair could live like that
1Great to hear a sense of humor in an explorer video. Well done. Thanks!
A cage possibly where they keep there children, I'm a child and that cracked me up! 😂
Your right about the houses giving off vibes! The tar paper house seems like it wants a family back! I keep watching that one lol ! It's such a sweet lil house! Makes me smile
Maria Pierce I am finding that each one of these houses has its own unique "vibe" and feeling........Some have a really happy feeling, some its kinda dark and yucky
***** that's a great idea! The house would be all happy! It just needs a family and a dog on the front porch!
Oh snap. I saw your reflection in the sliding door, and at first, I thought It might be a 👻 ghost! Lol!
I'm in love with your channel
Great video, thanks!
why are there so many houses Iike this In US, with everything just left, over here in UK they take the lightbulbs lol
sad - whoever lived there no one cared enough (or wasn't able) to go back and get the belongings - looks like it was ransacked too
jmarylastone Yeah, it basically looks like the residents just vanished and then hooligans threw there stuff around
The Carpetbagger I wouldn't say they were just throwing stuff around. Their motive was likely rummaging through everything in a search for things of value. People tend not to care about making a mess in that case. The owners could also have done this while vacating if they were in a hurry to leave.
excrono That's also a possibility
excrono The pants with the belt still in is a bit telling really.. I think every guy knows how that is, most likely left after the owner wore them.
+The Carpetbagger Grandpa died, his kids and grand kids took what they wanted and left the rest. There wasn't any will and they are all still fighting about who gets the house. It'll fall in before anyone lets the other have it.
Two things about this house particularly stand out for me: The first is the lack of color; there is so much grey and brown. Then there's the way part of the house looks like it was put together in a haphazard way and never finished.
Andrew Brendan Yeah, there was an odd drabness for how cluttered it was
u sir...have got urself a brand new subscriber!!! 😊
Found you through Adam the woo!!!Awesome videos
pretty cool video makes you wonder sometimes what happen
dude love it. O love to go through all that find things worth money. trade in man.
Best intro since Adam The Woo!
+DC Fixx Appreciate it!
Which is how I learned of you, by the way. Good inter-promotional rapport!
great video..stay safe and keep them coming 😷
More to come
I always think that houses like that, with all the stuff in, it's because something really awful happened in there, those are my feelings though.
This channel feels authentic, most exploration channels that explore places like this will try to put in fake evp's
You must watch Holywalkers and UGUE...
Looks like *snake* country too.
"All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight."
This house belonged to an old lady most recently but an old couple at some point (note the two chairs, cane, single flat shoe, double bed) It is unlikely that any of the people in the photos lived here as generally people dont have pictures of theselves rather familly.
I hate when other explorers go and trash those abandoned places. -.- And I'm not talking about the guy in this video. I bet that house wasn't left like that when the people abandoned that place.
For a second I thought you were talking about the guy in the video and was going to get real angry. XD
EdFan 287 Nah man, I meant in general. Same shit happens here in Finland with abandoned places.
I hate it too. When ever I explore, I only take pictures and don't try to destroy the house.
Great found, I think someones past away and no body cares about the house.
I subscribed because you have a lot of good exploring videos and I will watch more soon. ;)
I was looking for tigers after watching your other videos :)
Awesome Video ! What state do you live Carpetbagger? I would LOVE to go on one of your adventures with you! I live in Ohio.
cool video..you need a big flashlight to see in those dark places 😲
cool video cheers
Not sure if you are familiar with ASMR videos. They are videos made with the sole purpose of relaxing people. Whispering, chewing gum, making tapping sounds etc. I'm sure it's unintentional but your videos are really relaxing. As well as being interesting. :)
Love these videos
Thank you
@ Carpet Bagger can you look at the dates on things when you go to these homes? Like old mail so we can get an idea how long it has been sitting?
In 1981 there lived a husband and wife named James and Luella, who together had a little blonde-haired devil named Ruby Jean. She was a surprise baby to say the least, because both of them were 45 years old. Ruby tested them with her antics. When she became hard to handle, Luella would joke that she should be kept in a cage. A few years later, Luella became sick with cancer and began using a wheelchair while she fought the illness. This didn't stop her from teaching Ruby everything she could. Together they would read, cook, sew, or paint. Their favorite things to make were dreamcatchers. They spent a lot of time together, mostly because the kids Ruby went to school with lived far away in the suburbs. She was picked on a lot for living in the country. If only the kids knew how fun the forest could be.
In 1993, when Ruby was 12 years old, Luella died. It was hard on James to raise a young girl on his own at 57. When Ruby was 16, she finally began making friends. However, they weren't the best influences. James couldn't quite keep up with her, so he sat in his chair most days listening to Hank, Waylon, and Willie, drinking a cold Pepsi, and petting his old dog, Wolf. James taught Ruby many things, but could never work up to the birds n' beez talk. He wished Luella was there.
Well, Ruby became pregnant. She was 17 and it was going to be a boy. James decided to look on the bright side, he couldn't wait to teach his grandson to hunt and fish and shoot a gun.
Ruby finished school early and got a job working the register at an orchard. Baby Luke was born healthy and heavy in 1998. Ruby moved herself and the baby to an apartment in town closer to her job and begged her dad to come. He enjoyed being where Luella had lived, but he wanted the best for his grandson so he gave in. He would move in after a few months of sorting the home and putting it up for sale.
One afternoon, Ruby dropped James off at home after his doctor's appointment. Her dad seemed to hesitate at the front door as if he sensed something was not right. He opened the door slowly and began to step in - only to immediately back out and run back to Ruby. He took her and the baby back up the road in her truck while dialing the police. They met the police at the road and waited as they went to assess the house. A while later they came back and said it was clear, there was no one in the home. But there was damage.
The damage was the whole house torn apart. Everything was thrown around, glass was smashed, dishes were shattered, curtains torn, furniture upturned, silverware and jewelry rifled through and discarded. James's guns were gone, as was his TV. Thankfully, they were the only valuable items in the house. Ruby had her mother's wedding ring at her apartment. Nearly everything else had been boxed for the Salvation Army. It was not a major loss as much as it was a mess. Ruby would not let her dad stay there another night, so they packed both trucks with his belongings. James's old bowling buddy would be coming for the wood burning stove. They didn't waste time getting out of there.
No one was ever charged for the crime, as there was not enough evidence. Delays in the investigation prevented the sale of the house. By the time it went on the market and sold, James, Ruby, and Luke had moved to another city so she could accept a teaching position. A company bought the home with plans to raise it, but they declared bankruptcy. It still sits as it was left so many, many years ago.
Ruby is now 34, engaged, and happily teaching english to 7th graders. Luke (blonde like his mom) is 17 and loves to hang out with his grandpa; fishing, listening to Hank, Waylon, and Willie, and from time to time they make a dreamcatcher or two for Luella.
+Kelly G I like it!
+The Carpetbagger Sorry to write a novel! I had some time to kill and this house sparked my imagination like crazy. At first it was going to be dark and tragic but I decided it needed a happy ending. I can only hope the real story is half as positive. Please update us if you ever find any info. I love your channel! Glad I found it.
+Kelly G Thank you! I will will definitely give an update if I get one......
love it.
I would walk away from that mess too.
Alot of places here in Jacksonville NC like that. I can't help but wonder what happened to the family.
These "abandoned house" videos are getting cleaner and cleaner. The house has been trashed but, when the dust you'd expect from a house been left abandoned with its windows and doors open?
In a house like this, I would have at least looked to see if I could find an ID of the former residents and looked in the sofa for loose coins and cash.
where is that house located at in what part of Georgia
"Jesus to the rescue....uh oh."
I said "uh oh" exactly the same time he did. LMAO!
Hey I noticed your reflection in the mirror , looked like you lost a few pounds, LOL
@:27 vid,isn't that the Jeffersonville,Indiana/ Louisville,ky bridge? I was raised there,and I'm pretty sure it is.
man its crazy the stuff people leave behind.
Abandoned House - Everything Left Behind except the wood burner.....nice vid. dude...x
great videos
I agree jmarylastone it appeared to me an older couple had lived there and after the last one died people came in and stole the wood burning stove (heater for the home) and ransacked the house. Doesn't it always make you wonder why someone didn't clean out the home sell it and allow someone to live there rather then let it go to rot and ruin??? Sad when it is still livable. And all these memories left behind for no one...
I would say whoever lived here passed away suddenly. All of those pictures/sentimental items are something I feel a person would take if they were leaving.
love ur vids
Thank you
dang you moved really fast on that last part, and it scared the crap out of me lol
Kim Mcneely 😂😂omg I know,that completely spooked me
Why do so many of us find abandoned homes sad and melancholy yet we never miss the opportunity to watch such a video. I think if we knew all the answers of why somebody seems to have up and left, we would be disappointed with the answer. Many people have said they wished the walls could talk but do we really. We like to write our own stories, enjoy our own mysteries. So we take the bitter with the sweet and wait for the next mystery video to be uploaded. Big thank you to The Carpetbagger who takes us on his adventures. Be safe Jacob.
This is like a scene from The Walking Dead, almost like for like. Good video :)
The thought crossed my mind while here
Being that you're in the south, have you ever been to WalNut's Mountain and visited with John Boy WalNut and the rest of the WalNuts?
Haha. This is the 2nd urbex vid in a row to include caged children in the commentary, which brings to mind Doris Day"s on-screen toddlin' terror in "Please Don't Eat the Daisies."
LOL, or that Cage could have contained a Poor Possum. Great Vid.
Wow,who were these people and what happened to them? So many places in this country just like that house.
That was a very worthwhile house to stop at and record.
loved the cage joke
I'm a new subbie but seen quite a few of your videos. I haven't seen newer ones yet but will. Just friendly suggestion; unless you have consent from kin of the previous owners, I would blur out the pictures because nowadays it seems like people will sue even for the smallest of things.
A lot of these houses that are left like this are foreclosures. My mom used to do work with a real estate company that dealt with bank foreclosures and I've seen a lot of homes left like this. sometimes the locks are changed on them before they even have a chance to get everything out. we've seen houses full of belongings, even important things such as wedding photos, pictures of their kids, and other very sentimental items. it's really sad... sometimes the company will pay to have a house trashed out and ready to be flipped and sold but other times they'll just sit like this... empty and full of personal belongings. it's a sad reality that so many people lose their homes to foreclosure. I wish there were more laws to protect someone's home from being taken from them like that. never get into a mortgage, folks :(
Love the part with the cage for the kids. lol it really is sad when people leave there homes this fast an leave personal value behind.
I know its an old video but does anyone know if this place is still abandoned
Seen a lot of these vids where everything was left behind, so strange and ponderous, and sad. Were they abducted by Aliens, or, the Anunnaki?? Nice job Carpetbagger..
Apparently whoever lived there died and their possessions were never claimed.
always a chair on its own
where is the house located i like finding abandoned homes to see history and try to research the truth behind it why they abandoned it
at 3:07 was that a folded $20 or $10 bill on the left of the screen on the floor?
Rock City, Tennessee ?
That's not a bra. ... It's a hat! Lol. Love that line!
Moe C I honestly thought it was a bra, guess I am just used to seeing bras in abandoned places :)
hahha abandoned strip clubs video would be awesome
A little carpet cleaner, pledge & barrel of Lysol and I think they could rent this jewel in the woods!
Spookie......
Ok, so this house is a back woods, hillbilly themed horror movie waiting to happen. First, there was the abandoned dog cage on the lawn. Then, the rusting tools hanging on the wall. But it was the "Jesus to the rescue" statement on the bell that cinched it.
"possibly where they kept their children"...LOL :)
Do you any history in regard to this home ?
oh snap! that just scared me. it was mirror that scared me. when you were holding a flashlight
maybe they left cause they lottery :D
Really! I have the same Direct tv remote!
Looks like it was once a gathering place of love and family and now a forgotten mystery....
what in the world could prompt people to up and walk away, leaving even their clothes and personal memories behind, I can't imagine .
"there's a cage, possibly where they kept their children", I died
It's no mansion. But it always amazes me how people can leave pictures of their kids or babies behind. If there's one thing I'd be damn sure to take when I leave, it's those pictures of those moments.
I'm wondering what led to you approach this house, and determine it was abandoned?
Overgrowth is usually a good sign...
When people leave there houses like that it makes me think maybe something terrible happened like someone broke and murdred someone or the father beat the mother or the other way round and the stuff in the house reminded them of that so they just up and left
There was a calendar on the wall located in the living room that was tacked on the wall.. that would tell you when this home was last occupied..Very sad & heartbreaking that the family did not return to save important items like photo's & personal momentos that belonged to the owner.. Unless family had no interest in saving the belongings of there family member that had passed away..Sometimes realitives have good intentions & pack things in boxes to save ..but more often than not those precious belongings get left and then people come in & destroy it all... :(
Question : How did you find this house AND where did you get in them
Just attentively drive/bike/walk around deep in rural areas and you'll eventually find one...
Sit makes you wonder why people abandon places like they have just runaway in the night and left everything behind. Weird
