Purple flowers are called wisteria and the first structure you walked into was called a summer kitchen and the slats on the walls and ceiling are called bead board
That first building you were in is a summer kitchen. They were common, especially in the south as they kept the heat out of the house in the summer time. If you had gone straight back when you first came in and looked in that dark room, you would have probably found shelves where they kept their food cool in the summer. There was no hole for a stove pipe that I could see, so they used to cook on the fire place. They must have quit using it before stoves were common. I wish you would have looked in the closet to the right of the fireplace as it was likely a pantry or larder in it's time. You could tell there had been a door on the upper level that led out onto the porch roof before it fell in.
To keep the house from getting hot in the Summer correct? I have heard more than one Old Timer, ( born in the 1920's or earlier) that Hush Puppies get the name from the Summer Kitchen era. The cooks would fry up some scrap dough to toss away from the path between kitchen and house. The dogs would run after the treats and not take out one of the younger ones toting food.
Fleotus Bing (congradulations, Dan. You deserve it, and should have your own show case on Nat Geo, unlike someone less deserving, josh! keep up the great work.
Loved the Wisteria! Great video Dan! I could listen to your voice all day lol so soothing and comforting. Your videos are always awesome. Shame people have to mark everything up. Like animals marking their territory 😕
Emilie xo yes, seems to be alot of that in abandoned buildings/houses, that they feel they have to mark everything up with filthy words 😕, sad isn't it
Some of that fabric could be canvas. I know they always do it with plaster, but I have seen it with other types of walls as well. They used to wrap walls in canvas for reasons I dont know. Usually people pull it off thinking it is wallpaper, but sometimes it stays for years. If they were doing any kind of remodeling I would say that could be it.
+j0419199005252012 i was thinking that it looked like they'd been doing some work at least on the first floor; with the canvas/? and paint cans and stuff. Restoring the slats maybe?
HI Dan, really like the new installments on your channel, hope you and will are having a great time on your road trip. Looking forward to your next video.
There is a CREEPY home down here where I live in MD that is stuck in the 30s. My old cleaning company cleaned it and I just wanted to get out. the granddaughter lives next door and won't even go in. left a check taped to the screen door. southern Anne Arundel has some super scary old houses and tobacco farm plantations. :)
this was a great video! I have heard of this place before but I have only ever seen pictures of it. BTW yall should make your way up to south carolina, we have all kinds of abandoned places to search through.
i would love to help restore this charming little house. I'm guessing the first building was a granny flat perhaps. Wonder why the people left. So sad.
hi enjoyed it throwing my 2 cents in here. ..hope you don't mind the narrow boards with the little channel along the edge is called BEAD BOARD. IT IS VERY HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. I WOULD IF ALLOWED AND PHYSICALLY ASKS PERSONALLY REMOVE EVERY PIECE BY HAND, SAND IT DOWN AND REUSE IT. It is sad to see such beautiful lumber going to rot. This is only a guess, but the main house did not have a kitchen. there was a breezeway and then the little house which was probably the kitchen and coda quarters. That was typical for Manor houses of the old South. just guessing from the use of both milled lumber (the bead board) and rough cut lumber the house was built sometime after 1850. probably before 1910. The lentils above the doors...not familiar with that style. it had lathe and plaster walls with bead board wainscotting. would have been a very grand looking home. you should have loo I ed around for the old well. probably near the kitchen
Seems like they were going to do new lats with plaster in which case they often also use fabric in the plaster. clearly they sold off all the fireplaces or they all got stolen.
Creep factor wisteria! Draws you in and then let's you know it's alive and it's the boss of that house! Cue scene of poltergeist please...I need a friend like you in my town..there's an abandoned asylum here about 10 minutes from place I want to go...well I'm female I'm not going alone lol.
im not sure but i think those sheets on the ground you saw were drop sheets used for renovations and painting. Given that there were what i suppose are paint cans left over and some half painted walls, they must've been fixing it up and just left it for some reason..
Dan, is it possible to do a video on The Pussy Monster? That sounds interesting. Is it man? Is it Myth? Is it just Folklore? Dan Bell will investigate! #Cryptid
Judging from its name, it's probably just some cat that was abandoned by its owner, went feral and now looks like a monster because of how filthy it is.
the wood at 3.50 is waynes wood,, a lot of old southern houses had it,, My ex ownes a farm house in KY we spent a week removing the stuff for our newer house,, good stuff, if you are in the carolinas, you need to hook up with the Carpetbagger,, he explores old dwellings etc,, have a great day
I think some of the walls are what is called "tongue-and-groove; something I've rarely seen here in the north but that seems to have been used a lot in the south.
I live in the upper mid west, and it's common here too. They call it beadboard. Early incarnation of paneling. I have noticed that in the south they tend to install it with the grooves being horizontal. Around here they install it vertically.
Dan, you and Will are awesome, I always love your commentary! You guys are in my neck of the woods...I live in Greensboro. Its incredibly cool to see your videos of places I WISH I had the nerve to go in when we are driving on I-40 or 95! Keep up the great work!
Theres a house like this on Hickory tree Rd about a mile east of the Hyw 150/Hickory tree intersection north side of the road just down from the Sheetz gas station same side of the road in the south Winston Salem area, you cant miss it.
Dan, I don't know how you guys are so safe with everything. Been watching your videos for a few days now and they're really cool. The one time I tried exploring an abandoned house I nearly died so I ran the fuck out of there.
These old houses are so captivating! You just wonder so much what their walls would say if they could talk! Some of them are even a little charming, even in their dilapidated state.
+Barbara Miller It will go crazy if you don't tend it a pretty planet but can do a lot of damage to pipes and other planets and really hard to kill down ,Have to stay on it weekly it grows fast too
Hey Dan! I noticing a trend in some your videos. I keep seeing the name Kevin spray painted on the walls -- this video and an earlier one -- i believe in the old meat packing company in Baltimore. Your thoughts.
If you're still in the Carolinas, Murrells Inlet, SC just outside of Myrtle Beach has a fantastic dead mall with a very popular bowling alley and movie theaters (really nice, both of 'em). And dead hotels galore in the area, though I wouldn't muck around inside of them. Chinese wisteria is one of my favorite scents. It is, however, very invasive in the Carolinas. But at least it smells better than kudzu, amirite? I'm just plant nerding. My apologies. Great video!
Interesting. I never went looking for what am about to mention, but at 3:18 (3:19, actually -- but it is good to go back a second before), you hear a woman's voice asking a question. Again, I hear these more when I am not listening for it. It is a Class-A EVP, something similar to the hotel you all explored in West Virginia, where you were by yourself. Anyway, I ran it back several times, just to see if maybe it was a weird fart, or stomach noises, or poor Will falling into an abyss. It was none of those things. -- Glennie Sewell,.
When you were reading the pathetic graffiti on the door "the pussy monster was here", I immediately thought of Elias from Clerks 2 specifically the scene when he's talking about Pillowpants, the pussy troll. Couldn't stop laughing since. But all that wisteria in bloom is amazing. I planted some to grow along a fence last year. I'm hoping it will bloom in the next year or so.
I don't care if it's abandoned or not, you can't do stuff like that to someone else's stuff. that was someone's house and stupid people ruin it or at least the memory of it. I would feel terrible for anyone who had a family member or something that once lived in one of the houses you video, and they saw all the crap torn up and the walls wrote on and stuff. makes me mad that people do that.
For some reason there is something very calming and soothing to me with the sound of the crunching of your feet over the foliage. LOL Call me a weirdo! :)

greyeaglem Wow! You have a great deal of knowledge regarding how people used to live and how lifestyle impacted architecture. Very cool. Thank you.

Great video! I always wonder why people have to vandalize and especially write all over the walls. Sad way to treat something so beautiful!
LOL ohhh my favourite actor! Collin mocerie. He is the best! I also like Ryan styles..
Kathy Stidham dumb middle school boys
Hi Dan love your stuff, the flowers are called wisteria
+valynne stelling that's right!
+SuperSoup There is a lot of kudzu in NC too.
That lock just confirms the monster. Had to keep it tame. But seriously. Weird place for a lock.
Awesome video, and there was a great article about Dan in The Baltimore Sun (newspaper), Monday, April 4th.
Congrats, Dan :)
Congrats, Dan :)
Fleotus Bing (congradulations, Dan. You deserve it, and should have your own show case on Nat Geo, unlike someone less deserving, josh! keep up the great work.
Mom forbade me from planting wisteria, she said it could pull a brick house down.
You can't get these out fast enough for me! Love them! Stay safe, you wild and crazy guys!
Eeeeek. Get excited every time I see a new video. Thanks Dan! X
Loved the Wisteria! Great video Dan! I could listen to your voice all day lol so soothing and comforting. Your videos are always awesome. Shame people have to mark everything up. Like animals marking their territory 😕
By the horrible words on the walls, seems like they were animals
Emilie xo yes, seems to be alot of that in abandoned buildings/houses, that they feel they have to mark everything up with filthy words 😕, sad isn't it
It is
Loved the wisteria ( which is a vine ) if it were lilacs it would be bushes 😊 so pretty!!

I thought it looked like it, cause of the cans, but you never know with some of the houses you find. Someone could have just dumped old paint cans.

I read wisteria as listeria. The whole time I'm thinking NOOOO DON'T GO IN THERE.
Nevermind.

"Wisteria" is a very beautiful, haunting song by Dan Fogelberg...
Hysteria..lol

Hey! Hot Dogs....ya got the time?
Hot Dogs: Nope, just quarters, nickels, & pennies...no dime. 😕😉lol!
I hope you are protecting yourself from ticks. I have had Lyme twice from the woods on the East Coast.
Hi Dan , great find. love your videos.
this was a great video! I have heard of this place before but I have only ever seen pictures of it. BTW yall should make your way up to south carolina, we have all kinds of abandoned places to search through.
It'd actually be down to South Carolina but who's counting...
i always say come up whenever i say somebody should go somewhere. old habit
i would love to help restore this charming little house. I'm guessing the first building was a granny flat perhaps. Wonder why the people left. So sad.
hi
enjoyed it

+Avotts You are correct...they were usually called a summer kitchen...used to keep the heat of the cooking stove out of the main house
Cool and very old. Some of the slats and plaster homes would have (if they were earlier that 1850) horse hair in the plaster.
So cool!!! Thumbs up!
Seems like they were going to do new lats with plaster in which case they often also use fabric in the plaster. clearly they sold off all the fireplaces or they all got stolen.

Lilacs are so wonderful, what a great place to take photos.

Todd E Walnuts Rick is the pussy monster.
Judging from its name, it's probably just some cat that was abandoned by its owner, went feral and now looks like a monster because of how filthy it is.
That's beadboard, boys! (Slats)
also called latheboard
the wood at 3.50 is waynes wood,, a lot of old southern houses had it,, My ex ownes a farm house in KY we spent a week removing the stuff for our newer house,, good stuff, if you are in the carolinas, you need to hook up with the Carpetbagger,, he explores old dwellings etc,, have a great day
Dan, I loved this! Your videos are badass
Such a cool house, great find!
I went into this old 1900s abandon house yesterday and a turkey buzzard try to come in from upstairs
Lilac wow I haven't heard of that in a long time , cool video
LOL.. "Hard Core People Out Here". Love, love the videos!!
the Pussy Monster is not someone to be messed with :)

I freaking love you! "The graffiti in here is...... Just stupid" LoL
Such a cute laugh you have Dan😊
man, you are spoiling us with al these videos!
Thanks Dan Bell!
Damn all that wisteria growing with no one there to tend it and I cant even get a sprout of that shit goin
+Barbara Miller It will go crazy if you don't tend it a pretty planet but can do a lot of damage to pipes and other planets and really hard to kill down ,Have to stay on it weekly it grows fast too
I wish I knew what area he is in in north Carolina! So many abandoned houses and businesses here!
would you believe that those kids are old enough or will be old enough to vote? great videos . love them all . thank you for sharing.😄
Yes, why?
Sorry wrote on wrong page. Lol
Hey Dan! I noticing a trend in some your videos. I keep seeing the name Kevin spray painted on the walls -- this video and an earlier one -- i believe in the old meat packing company in Baltimore. Your thoughts.
Tourette's in graffiti form
Yeah, there's some real high class graffiti here in NC. LOL!
And I have to say it... Will has the best shirts ever!
There are tons of old places like that all over the place here in NC. Just drive out into any farm areas...lol
That bird had to make her visit, and get her 15 seconds of fame. hehe :)
the board walls you referred to as slats, is called shiplap.
super excited when i see a notification ....there is another vid! yaay! x
Great video. I like the way you put it together.
dang looks like it's nice weather down there,
5:02 poor beet up 8 track combo receiver =(
Just to let everyone know the flowers are called wisteria.
Great video Dan.
One State I will avoid.
Love how Will went in first!

Wow! Amazing finding!!
Love your videos Dan
You guys are making me miss home. :(
If you're going to be in the high point area there's a dead mall in high point called oak hollow mall you could check out!
I like the sloth shirt Will! Lol
wow man great vídeos and nice consistant uploads :) .

Sounds like the female voice said, "Did you see that?"
notsoseriousmoonlight It might be.
Messenger Guardians Paranormal It was just Will talking, muffled because of the distance and the mic.
At 3:47 to the left and in front of the old dresser that looks like the outer case of an old lite brite toy :)
like always great video Dan!
The flowers almost look like bluebells.
I'm a mom and a grandma.WHERES you masks?!? Lol
those bees would love those wisterias.
how many years would it take for the natural environment to overtake this human home? slats and all? :)
those purple flowers are wisteria! :) they smell amazing.
looks like some might be painting tarps.
i take it this isnt the fish = Wisteria House
Where in NC is this located?
Beautiful Wisteria trees. :)
The best part. Of the house was the fireplace a
And the bird! Still a good video!
Did anyone hear a woman's voice at about 3:20? I can't make out what was said but with my earbuds in I distinctly hear a voice.
Yes I heard it, cant make it out tho

6:53 There is an Australia shaped hole in the wall
What city is this in NC?
For some reason there is something very calming and soothing to me with the sound of the crunching of your feet over the foliage. LOL Call me a weirdo! :)
a wisteria house would be great for wisteriamoon!
That lavender plant is wisteria, not lilac.
Do you ever find squatters in these places?
"I'm gonna be careful about what I show here"
*points the camera at a pornographic drawing*
There's sooo many abandoned places in NC
2019 anyone?
I laughed so hard when you said the pussy monster was here.
Kids, man.
Cool :)
will is hotness
He got a nice booty too
I see an old lite Brite in one of the rooms!
walls are called lathe i think.
"How steady is it?" Will is the "mine canary"?
Maybe it was the Carpetbagger???
