HOUSE UPDATE: The home was completely demolished in the summer of 2022, The cars were removed sometime beforehand and now a new home is being built on the land.
This seems such a shame. I know that the house 🏠 was in some serious 🧐 disrepair, but about anything can be fixed. The inside of this house looks way better than the roof top. This house was a time capsule, and everything of it appears to be period correct. This house was built WAY BETTER than the new house sitting there today, and it’s not even a time capsule by any means. That could be Buddy Holly on the notebook 📒. Ya should go on a program to save these time capsule houses 🏘 from being torn down. Again, this house looks pretty good 👍. Happy 😊 belated holidays, and a Happy 😊 and safe 2023. Your friend, Jeff.
@Travis Dean Borrowing money from the bank and not being able to pay back the principal amount with the interest is one way to put it. when that happens that bank will claim foreclosure with or without a forcefull eviction. in which case may turn you into a federal fugitive. Leaving part = moving to a non extraditionary country where that country dont hand over people when asked to do so by another country.
The owners must of died and had no relatives left? Why is the electricity still on? Kind of sad that an empty home can have electricity without paying, but others who are actually living and do not have the money to pay their electricity will have it shut off.
Yeah same, when I'm in car U'm mostly looking at abandoned house's. It's kinda creepy that they not there anymore but at the same time just think about what they did there.
This is the exact sentiment I feel every time I see an abandoned home. A place once so full of life and emotions becoming empty and lifeless. One can only wonder why.
I used to work for a bank that would clean up abandoned homes. I went to one house and the woman passed away in 1999 and it was deep in the mountains it was completely untouched it was really surreal.
@@lizzmg6213 that type of job slow down what after 2012 it was crazy during the crash of 2008 but it still a pretty lucrative and interesting job. Look up home preservation jobs. Or even work under a realtor sometimes Realtors will buy houses from Banks as is without even walking through it's pretty crazy.
I like the architecture of this house. Just imagine back in the days it was in its glory, yard was clean, those Cadillacs gleaming, just washed and waxed, birds singing and the happy older couple just living their lives..
The other car is a 4 door Lincoln mark vi I own a 2 door that thing has definitely seen better days there probably both beyond salvageable at this point
@@UnionPacific1997 You know nothing about salvage and restoration. Every one of those cars probably fires up and runs, or would be made to run easily, and I'd be willing to not only bet money on it, I'd make them run by myself.
@@cmccabe07921 my thoughts exactly. You DO NOT open a fridge in a house that’s been abandoned for any significant amount of time. Unless you want to lose your lunch. I repeat DO NOT OPEN THE FRIDGE.
I've seen this happen before. An old man in my area was removed from his home due to not being able to take care of himself. He then died like 2 days later. No family. All his finances were set up automatically. His social security/pension was deposited and his bills were paid automatically. His house was paid off. His house sat for 5 or 6 years vacant utilities on, paid, grass cut, car in the driveway, creepy as hell
@@judyward548 lawn service contracted for the job by the old man before he died .. money in the bank .. auto payments set up so as not to forget to pay bills
@@cjones3710 I agree. Our priest wrote something recently that went something like, "God gave men free will and values human freedom. We humans should value it also."
This was someone's home, a life, a place where holidays were spent, and summers enjoyed. It's heartbreaking, whatever happened, to see where it's at now.
Somebody used the deed to snort their coke down south and forgot the address🤣 heartbreaking isn't it? Just a throw away property for somebody too rich for their own good
Yeah I know cars and I just assumed he knew it was a Lincoln and questioned myself about it being a rare collab between Lincoln and Bentley. Hahaha. Kids these days
The decor, the materials and the style of home brought me back to my childhood and teens. There’s a lot of familiarity here. Doesn’t seem that long ago to me. I feel ancient now. My guess is the owners or occupant passed away and the property has probably been stuck in probate since. Lack of maintenance and water leaks probably contributed to the roof and ceiling deteriorating. A lot of elbow grease and money, and this home could be restored to its grandeur once again I am certain. I would love to see it restored to its original look. Too many home flippers are killing the “dated” styles I grew up with and everything seems so fake or too new. No comfort found in a place of familiarity. What a beautiful look into what once was.
This is what it feels like for me a lot of the time, i didn't grow up when this house was in its hay day but it feels like a home, I feel like there's no other place that feels comfortable more than places like these.
Most often, the reason homes are abandoned like this is because of a death and the survivors can't deal with it. The power still on testifies that someone still pays the bill.
Must have paid the electric all in advance, and whoever it was left to, couldn't afford the upkeep, so they eventually left it

My grandfather left me 125 acres of land and his brick home is on that land. I sometimes go down to his old home and sit in the garage . Alot of memories growing up there. His old 80's Silverado, and old 69 c10 still sit there in the garage. When I visit that old house it's like time stands still. Then I lock up and head back to my own home on the same property. So cool
Family can't deal with it, but the power company never physically went out and cut it off. The power company thinks it's probably shut off but it's not.
This is what happens when one either dies or falls on hard times. EVERYTHING in that life just STOPS! And life goes on without them. But that's life, and death. Then we're forgotten and all that our lives were are represented by the things we left behind. Heart breaking.
@@hollaluyah Really is nostalgic if you lived through the time when all the stuff was commonplace. I did, do I felt it too, and sad for the folks who left this all behind. There has to be a story there. A sad story. 🙏 Best regards.👍
It's amazing how *little* decay there is. Aside from obvious water damage in certain places, it's like there isn't even dust in a lot of the rooms. Thank you for sharing this once beautiful home !
The home is likely owned by someone in assisted living and can’t be sold yet, that is why it still has electricity. Nobody wants to put money into fixing it until they know it’s theirs to sell.
You are exactly correct, my parents have dealt with this situation with my grandparents and aunt, assisted living and/or nursing home do not take the home, when the person dies you are to sell assets and settle up, there are a lot of homes left to rot, I watched one completely fall in on itself years ago, was a beautiful rancher, same situation.
@@jh7614 You have no idea, volunteer at a home, care for an elderly person with dementia/Alzheimer, it is a full time job and can not be accomplished by just one person.
@@Maples01 the person is in a care facilty but the house power still on. I have a neighbor who is in this situation exactly and they care for the house in exchange for staying there but once the person dies it will be up for sale and that tenant must leave, it does work out in this particular situation when the house is vacant
@@jh7614 That requires trust, I know people who rent, you can't trust them, most times they ignore eviction notices, requires a court of law to get them out.
That’s a really beautiful house. It is somebody’s dream, that so much hope ( and money) went into....a labour of love. And yet, here it sits abandoned....I can never understand how this happens, these abandoned places break my heart, the life that they represent, just gone. It’s depressing really.
The lady of the house was into crafts. Everything in the home reminds me the things my parents had in their home in the 80s and 90s. So these people would be in their 90s at least. I’m figuring they passed and the family knows it’s up there and just doesn’t want to deal with it.
@@jarc4 I was thinking that too. The fact that they are keeping the power on suggests someone still has control of it. Maybe the children already had their own families and homes, sad to just let it rot there that way though.
This reminds me of a house in my friend’s family. Grandpa eventually moved to a home and passed, and anyone who’d inherit it had houses of their own. Someone probably still comes by this place from time to time
Exactly. Plus the power was on. Power wouldent stay on for 19 years if nobody was paying it. Somebody was paying for the power to stay on which means somebody wanted the house to stay like that and prolly went back every once in awhile for memories. What doesent make sense though is that pics of their kids were left behind and other pics. Makes you think if they cared about the people who lived here to keep the power going and things why leave pics and precious thinks behind. And also why leave 3 what would have been at the time beautiful and crazy expensive cars behind. So many questions about this place lol.
1985 this was the shizzle custom house pimping cars 4 head vcrs which was top tech back then. Its sad to see nothing last forever human or non-human . This was a upper middle class lifestyle in the Reagan years.
HiFi VCRs with VU meters and recording audio mixing controls... those kind disappeared in the mid 90s as people didn't bother to make quailty recordings or home movie dubs and just wanted the cheapest stuff.
The architecture is really cool, but there is no way it would be cost effective to remodel the interior with the possibility of mold and God know what materials were used when it was built, probably cheaper to tear it down and start over. I get it it's cool and where it's at is amazing. But..
Damn... A comparable moment in ones life might be that time when they were forced to cut off their own hand, and replace it with a chainsaw... No worries though, a better, stronger hand, could easily find its way to them at some point in the future... Or would it be the past?
Agree with your thought or even they died and the family was unknown and while it was looked into sat there and taxes mortgage whatever built up that family couldnt afford and the government forclosed on it and kept it, or the family that was left older too parents die and child is older to and something happened to them
From the information at hand, I can make an educated guess. This was a vacation home owned by a retired firefighter. His occupation is apparent from the fireman statues and other memorabilia still there. The plywood panels which fell down indicate he built the house himself using low-cost materials. The fact that there are three woodstoves mean he knew there could be frequent power outages, and he enjoyed being rustic. Both he and his wife stocked the place with antiques, most of which have been stolen. The whole family was there for Christmas 2001. During the celebrations, somebody had a life-threatening emergency. Everything was abandoned, and the family rushed to the hospital. Sadly, things didn't go well. Younger family members came back to begin cleaning out the house (hence the trash can in the sun room), but they lost heart and left. They never got around to finishing the cleanup, although they always meant to. Power is still on because they keep meaning to come back and use the place for themselves, but there's probably an ongoing quarrel in the family over property rights. Meanwhile, the property continues to decay.
I think so too. Maybe grandma died in 97, this the medicine bottles and grandmas couldn’t bear to let go or get rid of anything. The decor is very late 80’s. Then as you say, leading up to Christmas something happened. Shame. Maybe the surviving family can’t afford to make the trip or fix it up. Too bad cuz there’s some nice stuff still left.
If he was a retired fireman, & if this house is located closer to the east coast...could be he volunteered orthat something happened during 9/11...a lot of people from all over went to NY to help during that time..🤷♀️
So at what point in🌃🕛do ya' figure the 😎Mafia😎came rolling up in their Caddy's & Lincoln to deliver their🥊brand🧤of ⚖️Justice and begin searching🕵️for "Particular Items💵📃💎of Great Importance To The🕶️ Organization" Then all were tied🔌up🪑🛋️🪑🔌🔦asked only once then given the boots..See, but they wouldn't talk,☎️or sing🎶like🐤canaries..See, So the Boss said, "Rocky take 'em out back" then Rocky said, "What d'ya want I should do with them Boss"? and the Boss said.."Whack'em, Rocky"!!🏏Whack'em all"!! ..(and Rocky always did what the Boss told him to do)🏏💫💥✨💥... ..Has anyone even looked🕵️inside the Trunks of those cars yet! ..Or maybe they're pushin'up🌼daisys🌼..Or swimming with the🎏fishes! But on a lighter note..🤣🤪🤣 ..I also am inclined to agree with your thoughts on why it's abandoned
Amazing how the power is still on. There’s got to be a family member who still pays the utilities. Thank you for being so incredibly respectful to the home 🥰 I can’t believe all the photo albums are still there. Does anyone know more about this home??
I can't believe that anyone would abandon their home in such a way. There has to be a story connected to this house, and why it was left with everything...So sad...
Exactly, happens all the time. And it's very very sad. Usually the government steps in and takes everything, sells it all if there's no one left. But its super disrespectful that people just tromp thru someone's house.... Especially in a country where people shoot people all the time.
The home looks like a "Royal Home". They are prebuilt modules and fully built on site mainly in Ontario. Company is still very well around and focuses on cottage country. Ours was built in 1986 and has a very similar structure but smaller. Same ceiling, banisters, high windows, living room with fireplace and all.. only bricks not field stones. What a gem! There must be some heat source though if abandoned for so long and still in that condition. No visible mold or rodent damage is amazing specially with our seasons. Bought ours in 2006 and love it.
I bet the company would love to see how well it has stayed without occupants. Just had a thought, maybe the company can look in their records to see who bought it. Even if the present owners bought it from someone else there would be a paper trail to follow. Doing a search online would be easy.
It's the abandoned pictures that get to me. They give you a little sense of what their lives were, and now it's all frozen with no real idea of who they are. Like ghosts.
Exactly what I think watching stuff like this. I can get around if it makes me sad or just hammers home how sentient humans are. Pictures and just stuff that mapped out a life that has no impact on anyone or anything anymore. Just stuff.
@@monroe2245 You said exactly how i think of it. Its that finality (not sure thats a word) that i think a lot of us are drawn to through these channels. The mortality comes through and really smacks you right between the eyes.
I could totally see the scenario of older person still alive, in a assisted living... i never thought about this until reading some of these comments, but heres a real life situation with my own grandparent. My grandpa passed away 17 years ago. My grandmother has always been in good shape, body and mind, shes extremely stubborn. Until one day she fell down her stairs with a laundry basket, and broke her hip and foot. My grandparents had 2 kids, my mom and my uncle. Im my moms only child, and my uncle had only one child as well. My mother is a dentist, and still works full time, my uncle is retired, however lives over a hour away from my grandma. I moved out of state, and my uncles daughter was 3 hours away at college. The decision was made to put her in assisted living to heal, after she refused with everything in her, (remember i said she was stubborn). However that was the only option, with us having no other family near to care for her, and her refusing in home care because she "didnt want strangers in her house". The plan was to rehab her to walking again, then she could go back home. However, after she was there a year, she got sick. It made her weak, and the weakness stayed after the sickness was gone. She has always been tiny, (5'1, maybe 100 pounds) so she had no strength left, although her mind was still 100% there, her body was tired. This happened 9 years ago. Shes still alive, and still sharp as a tack, but never was able to regain her strength enough to get out of a wheelchair. She is still convinced in her mind that she will return home again someday. She turned 98 last month. We, the family, know that will never happen at this point... but you cant tell her that. With that being said, her house has been sitting vacant for these 9 years..... and will continue to sit until she passes away and my mother and uncle devide everything.. neither will want it, i live out of state and my only cousin has since moved away as well. The power is still on, the lawn is mowed by my uncle. Any needed repairs to the house to keep it sealed, and maintained have been done through the years. But, what if my mom and uncle didnt get along? What if none of us lived in the same state? The house would look just like this........
I love this! I wanted to do a series in the Mojave like this and it’s nice to see how it can be done well, a lot of people are saying that no one would want to watch abandoned stuff and it makes me feel great that this type of content does work.
I'm 42 and the gingerly way he walks through this house makes me feel like I'm 70. He walks through that house like it's from the 1800s and there are ancient artifacts in there or something hahahaha he's very respectful...Just makes me feel older than I am lol
I know,right! They don’t know what anything is called…ie woodstoves, 8 track instead of cassette tapes, perfume samples etc lol. Beautiful home, it’s a shame nobody kept it up
Always good to be respectful. Unfortunately not everybody is - the owners didn’t leave the house like that, it was almost definitely some other “explorer”
If you really want to determine when those cars were last used, take a quick look in the glove compartment. Very possible to find registration, etc. Also look at the mileage. If it really low it was probably an old couple.
A good chunk of money in the antiques that I see...here in the States. especially here in WV, that place would be ransacked within a week and stripped down to get the copper wiring. I don't kmow why abandoned homes and such fascinate me...this was fantastic, I would spend hours in there going through things and trying to piece together the lives that were lived there.
What amazes me is that there's still power and one of you was able to get the TV going and put on a video. If the place wasn't too far beyond repair and restoration, I'd want to fix it up and live in it!
@Shannon Stansberry I guess if they want to, who’s to say they can’t, but what would be the point? Do you WANT to stay homeless, or not? If someone didn’t want to, I don’t see how getting hooked on RUclips would fix that. I could think of a lot of other things that could fix that situation, even with a mental illness or addiction, and youtube isn’t one of them unless they’re making videos and getting plenty of hits and subscribers.
People generally don't leave stuff like that behind if it's something they want. My guess is the people who lived in the house might have died and had no one left in their life who cared enough to do anything with the house, or at least no one who lived in the area.
Photo albums show this was before cell phones with cameras. I had a dozen of those monstrosities and had to find a compact way to store them. I saw VHS, 8 tracks and cassettes..... I thought. Nothing more up to date.
The more I watched the more at home I felt. Around 96-97 was the last golden years of my childhood home. Walking through there for me was like walking through my house. I grew up with my grandparents. That felt like an old home for a couple generations. Simpler times...
It is save-able. The Serve-Pro company clean up after fires and floods. They also do mold abatement. Then you would need a reputable general contractor to clear the driveway, parking lot, the roof and gutter replacement. A tree surgeon to clean up the trees, a landscaping crew tofix up the grounds. You missed the view from the basement. There was probably a back deck, a fire pit, and a hot tub, too.
@@jacobshort6528 Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to do that? I have long thought that houses have hearts ♥️. Especially since I had to move from the house I grew up in because the government bought it for imminent domain to tear down and build highway.
This house hasn’t been touched in far longer than 5 years. I’d guess 2 decades. So tragic to see all those memories, wedding photos, things that were precious to someone. My guess is some thing very catastrophic happened to this family, for a family to have that many photos, they had to of been a close family. And that no one would check on the house to sort their affairs so something probably happened to their loved ones too. I am almost 40 and grew up with parents that would now have been 80 years old, and a lot of those things in the video remind me of my childhood and of my grandmothers house.
My grandma is 90, lives on her own in the house my grandparents built together. It still has pink bathroom tub, sink toilet and 1960s tile in the kitchen and bathroom. The only thing new is the carpet and that's about 20 years old lol all in excellent condition though. Looks new still.
@@jessicascearcy2511 lol, did we have the same grandparents? My grandfather built their house in the late 1950's...they had a pepto-bismol pink bathroom.
lol right? my house was built in 1853, full of antiques either I bought, or inherited.. everything works, including my 1950 Norge refrigerator. I bought vintage because the wall socket where the fridge goes only has two prongs.
Yes. I'm not sure if the "Lincoln" brand-name was used in Canada or not. I know "Mercury" was a brand-name used in Canada, part of Ford's "Lincoln-Mercury" division. But Bentley, I highly doubt. I may be wrong, but I think the Continental is a limousine version, that could be ordered from the factory versus an after-market limo retrofit.
It makes me sad that an entire family is simply forgotten. I love doing urban exploration when I can, and more often than not, when I find old photos, I might take a few just so to remember them, even when I don't. I guess its like leaving a flower fon a forgotten grave somewhere. There was life there once, a family and a home of love, only to fade away. Just sad.
@@nikkioshea4139 yes strong so its a must to remind people a small spray is plenty. 1 small spray and it did smell nice. My wife now ex wife used poison. It was a nice smell in small amounts. Some women though thought they needed to shower in it and women still feel the need to shower in perfume. If you can be smelled a week after leaving the elevator you used a little too much. If on a city bus and i can smell you before entering the bus maybe try less. If im at the back of walmart using the pooper and i can smell you the second you enter the front doors i think its time to shower and change your clothes cause that much makes most men have a severe head ache. Ive picked chicks up for a date. I parked 50 feet from their door. They walk out the door i yell shower and change first. Not getting in this small car smelling like that. They yell they just showered so then why so much perfume im about to puke from the strong smell 50 feet away out side.
My gut feeling is that this family suffered a life changing catastrophe and lost entirely their connection with their home and life. To leave behind wedding photos means something irredeemable happened. I feel sad for them.
@@MsBrendalina I would for sure alot of people don’t understand the value of some of those things. I was raised by an antique collector so I’m very intrigued by all things old/antique.
@@brittanychance639 Even if they don't understand the financial value, you'd think they would want the photo albums, wedding pictures, sweet momentos like the "I miss u grandpa" note on the fridge, etc. That was the stuff I cared about when my grandparents passed away
This video gave me a very sad feeling the cars being left and all of the memorabilia. You can tell this home once brought so much joy to the family that once lived there. I hope wherever they may be now that they are at peace.
For the collapsed ceiling in the living room. Roof starts leaking, and if it's not noticed and repaired the drywall gets saturated with water and a comes down. Only takes a few weeks or months. So that damage is probably less than a year or two old since there isn't alot of mold etc growing.
Yes, happened in a room in my house where the roof shingles came off, only leaked for a short time, but the ceiling collapsed. Luckily, insurance paid for 'storm damage'.
As a person who has lived through the 80s in the 90s, etc. That house was very typical of houses during the late 80s and early 90s. I to had a kitchen with stencils on the walls and collected country type items. I actually moved from Ohio and lived in the mountains of Idaho and much of those antiques came in handy. I had a white china cookstove like the one in that kitchen. I also heated my house with a wood-burning stove like which was in the family room. That house Is not an abandoned if the electricity is still on. I suspect the owners died suddenly, it looks like the family took the antiques and sold them, and left everything else and never finish the cleanup process. I cannot believe that people would leave behind old photographs of their family! That part is heartbreaking!
He said "Supercycle... oh my God they even made exercise bikes". It seems pretty obvious that he was surprised that supercycle the brand made exercise bikes... not that there were exercise bikes in the 80's........
Just Subscribed!! This is fascinating! I had an Uncle who inherited his Mama's (my Great-Grandmother's) home in 1972 when she passed. He put up gates and wouldn't let anybody go in. When he passed in 1991, almost 20 years later, my Daddy got the house. He took the gate down & we were stunned to find everything just as it was the day Granny Pearl passed in 1972. All her homemade jellies and jams and canned garden vegetables were still in the pantry and even her clothes were still lying on the bed and perfume bottles still on her dresser. Somebody cares a lot about this house to keep paying the electric bill. I'm surprised there weren't any No Trespassing signs posted.
A Long lost uncle was recently found after a neighbor tracked down my dad through his dad. The Uncle passed away in 2001 we just found his house two months ago. Even had family photos of my dad and my grandfather on a fishing trip when my dad was 6 now 75! The Uncle never had kids and neighbors liked him. So they kept his yard up and were really happy to find my dad. The house is in surprisingly decent shape. Currently we are dealing with the county for back taxes and have a court appointment to show the judge that my dad is closest living relative. The house isn’t worth much we will clean it up and sell it. Might get $30,000 possibly less after expenses etc. More than anything we are happy to be closing a chapter of family history that was lost for a long time. Plus we owe the neighbors getting the home cleaned up and sold to new people who will be part of the community👍
Shits sad to watch. This was once a nice hole in a beautiful spot where someone’s loved ones lived, who knows what could have happened to lead to this. Even sadder he didn’t open the fridge
I've been meaning to see this beauty for awhile now, sad to know it was wasted. For me, just rent a rolloff dumpster, clear out all the hoarded trinkets, fix the roof, damaged ceilings, clean and It's move in ready by my standards. Thanks for the tour Noah! 🤠👍👍👍👍
Don't family members ever say hey remember uncle mike and aunt sue that had that nice house in mountains? Whatever happened? The bank foreclosed etc. Did someone buy it? Let me check? No? Let's go see if we can find family photos and such.
Fascinating. This was someone's life. They went to a store to buy each of those paints, magazines etc. That faithful TV and VCR recreated entertainment for their owners' ears and eyes. It's hard to fathom all of those family albums left to rot and be forgotten.. How could no one have wanted them? An odd feeling of sorrow for this is what our things usually amount to in the end.
This place is actually an elderly person was taken into a care facility and his bills are paid by coming out of his account that's why they still have electricity you could be in a care facility for years and as long as his bills are getting paid by you know taken directly from his bank account he doesn't have to be involved on any level as long as the bills keep on getting paid in taxes for the house
Thanks for the video, I alway see abandend homes that looks like people left to work or visit somebody and NEVER returned back. Things are left as if the owners will be back home that evening. You start wondering about who lived in that house and what happened to them and why nobody even removed the personal belongings. No siblings!?, no relatives!? no friends!?. sometimes heart breaking...
In comments someone knows the family. She has passed and he’s in a nursing home. The electric is being paid, probably by family who may live far away. I wouldn’t consider “abandoned”. Terrible what people have done to it by ransacking. “Poison” is a perfume! Omg, the decor is not that old. It’s 1980’s n 90’s- look in your parents house, find same stuff! Craft/Sewing room-HGTV/Pinterest ya’ll come on-it’s a now thing too! Ceiling could of collapsed in last yr or 2. We have same car in my driveway now-Grandma’s. It’s isolated n in woods, leaves etc., maybe family hasn’t been able travel and check on it last 5 yrs. Mice making nests in Winter happens ever year in our cabins. It looked nice before people broke in and rummaged thru someone’s home. Sad.
@Kathleen O'Brien, to you, and anyone else that is whining about people that are exploring abandoned places, you could get things like this settled with proper wills and, to be honest, there are plenty of good families that honestly need a new place to live, or a place to live period, simply because they lack a roof over their heads. Not all of the homeless people are selfish, drug addicted, drunks, or horrible people...some of them just simply have fallen on hard times and a roof over the heads of these people would do wonders in giving them a new lease on life.
Very sad...most houses like this is health issues..very sad...i cant believe the kids pics prob grand kids wudnt come by to clean out old pics..n memories...
Than that family is terrible and abusive.they probably tell the nursing home person that their house is taken care of. If you given power of attorney over someone's property it is your responsibly to maintain it. It has lost all its value due to most likely lazy children and family members. Horrifying and disrespectful!
They had 2 20 yr old caddy's and a 30 yr old Lincoln. Normally 20-30 years seems to be the bottom of the market for cars. When people consider them scrap before maybe becoming collectable. I suspect although there hard models to date due to long production cycles of luxury style car body's. And assuming 2001-2003 they bailed. See how assuming things about this sort of stuff is so hard to do. But still interesting to think about.
@@asdasd-ni8eg It's true. They conceivably could've bought all of them used. I doubt it. But it's funny how cars depreciate, hit bottom, and if they survive, gradually appreciate! Who would've ever thought that people would collect mid-70's Lincolns, GM intermediates, Darts, Mavericks, etc. 30 years ago I was getting those for free.
There has been a few abandoned places where the utilities were still running and one theory that cropped up was that the utility companies are just saving themselves a few bucks by not having to physically send someone out to disconnect a building that is no longer drawing power anyways.
I think a better theory is that they keep it on so the next owner has to pay for the bills if they wanna keep the power going. Same think happens with property taxes.
This is such a shame. Although this house 🏠 was in need of a few serious repairs, the saying is, about anything can be fixed. To see a time capsule house torn down, is just sickening. The condition of this house actually looks better than the roof 🔝. Everything there appears to be period correct. This house was built WAY BETTER than the house there today, and it is not a time capsule by any means. Ya should make your own program, saving time capsule houses from being torn down. I also hope those old cars 🚗 weren’t taken to a recycling place to be crushed. I hope 🤞 somebody got to take them home 🏡, and restore them. Happy 😊 belated holidays, and a happy 😊 and safe 2023!! Your friend, Jeff.
Are you kidding me? Consumers Energy will look for any excuse to turn on your power. I called them when a squatter broke into a house that I had sitting vacant, and I informed them that I was not living in the home and to let me know if someone tried to have the power turned on. You know what they did? They never called me whatsoever. They informed me that they had sent two cards in the mail, which never arrived. They said that the cards were to inform me the power was being turned on at my house, even though I had specifically stated there was a squatter in my house living there illegally, and to make sure you don't turn on the power for anyone, without calling me on the telephone first.. In the end, they tried to stick me with the bill. I had it documented, so I stuck them with it instead. Meanwhile, never trust power companies as far as you can throw them. This house looks abandoned to me, and the power being on does not tell a different story, it tells the same story.
Believe it or not I live right across the street from a home that was abandoned in 2011 and ot still has fully functioning power. It has massive holes in the ceiling and its TRASHED but somehow every single light works in it.
@@datboyfredie656 turn all the lights on in that house. Then plug in something that burns a ton of electricity that will stay on for a really long time without causing any fire hazard. I bet somebody shows up.
nice high scale 80s home, I’m sure the people that lived there had sudden health issues and since have passed. it’s pretty much exactly what happens to everyone in this world, but usually the family does something with the property after. sad that it was left like this but someone does own it, go check the public records and talk to them about it. would make a great part 2 to the video, and be much more responsible.
@@jaya.0069 i think one of the couple died, and the other had to go to a nursing home. since then, family descendants fought over...and couldn't bear to, were mostly distant....and didn't have the time to either. So it's sat.
Or perhaps they did not have children or perhaps the child they had was not mentally able to care for a property like this, if my parents had this I would have sold it 18 3/4 years ago, unless the kids moved to another country.
Agree it could also be in a probate and it can’t be touched until it’s over believe me money ruins the closest family’s! Iam sure the home at one time was worth a lot it looks as though they had started to box up contents and stopped over a probate issue wish you all would do the back research on these homes of why
@@wendyjohnson2366 or they all passed together in a car or something. Either way this is just depressing and hard to watch because it could happen to anyone of us .☹
I'm sure the court knows exactly who's home this belongs to. I'm sure the owners are elderly, may not have children to help them out. Older people with no family, don't really have a choice of what happens. So very sad.
I see so many items I used to own as well and the vile that says Poison was a perfume. This is just a step back in time to my life it was wonderful all the memories.
I felt so sad their family didn’t care, if i knew the location would love to purchase it. Hi Rena! how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
It’s sad indeed to realize someone toiled and labored to build a beautiful home and fill it with lovely thing, only to die tragically and leave it all behind. Value in life is in time spent with friends & loved ones. Invest in the intangibles.
The little bottles that look like vials that you called, "poison" is actually sample bottles of perfume. "Poison" is made by Christian Dior. They were rally popular in the 80's and 90's to give as samples glued to mini cardstock as advertising.
The famed Actress Mae West from the 1930's started the "mirror over the bed" popularity as she also had one (which was advertised heavily) over her very elaborate bed in Los Angeles.
Noah is actually one of the better young folks with regards to their knowledge and he's always looking to learn if someone has an expertise. All you have to do is drop him a comment letting him know if he mislabeled something so he doesn't make that same mistake later. Noah, you do a great job sweetie, you keep exploring and learning baby. 💜
I'm always more into the mystery these homes hide. Why were they abandoned, why did the last occupants never came back to sort out there former lives? You just know this isn't a happy ending story. My guess is that 1 aging Grandparent got sick or died and the remaining partner wasn't able to stay in this big old rambling isolated high maintenance house. Perhaps like many old couples the surviving spouse didn't live that much longer. It's such a sad waste of a formerly great house.
@Tom Jenkins To your point Tom, half the time there is still power to the house. Somebody's paying for it so I guess we need to redefine "abandoned". Abandoned to the legal system and family court lawyers?
if you look at the other rooms they look like they have been shaken around a bit to, maybe they heard of an earthquake comming and ran for from it, maybe?? it's just the way the rooms look, i've seen in california after a quake the mess they leave...
It's like were Hooper and Eleven lived. That desk is a roll down my great-grandfather had one it was fun to look into all the little doors... treasures..
The sample perfume "Poison". 🤣 It's a blast from the past, most is 80's decor. It's definitely an older person's home who was no longer able to stay at home.
This was likely a grandparent's home. They probably died suddenly and the family was either too busy or pained to deal with it. They also could have just not cared, which would be incredibly sad. I'd love to own a home in the deep woods.
Yes it seems they were grandparents and had money. 3 expensive cars and a large nice house. The porno mirror and magazines don't seem to fit with the extensive grandma craft room and all the family pictures. Maybe after they died someone used the house to film porn.
Most likely someone was using it as a shelter as it's empty and that's where the magazines came from. We have old empty houses on the mountain trails where I live. Sometimes squatters stay in them. Especially if it had electric still running!
You can never tell about people. They could have been sociopaths and their children can’t bear to go through all their stuff... or the children disowned them long ago.
Its so sad people can't respect other people's property and families just throw away what people work all their life for it really is to bad you can't take it with you so sad
You have no idea what you are looking at and apparently you don't really care. If you cared you would look at the obvious clues to whoever it was that left this property abandoned. You are just children, with children's curiosity only.
The problem is that most people have all they need by the time their parents pass away. I learned that three times! I moved my mother from her apartment into an assisted living facility, and we had to find places and uses for at least half of her belongings. Then, mother-in-law passed. We had to find places and used for alot of her things as well. My ex moved into her place, and he didn't really have anything to his name when he did, so some of it was kept. She had also culled about half of her belongings about 5 years before she passed away. Then, when my mother passed, we cleaned out her apartment. We are keeping some things for when my daughter moves out and gets her own place, but we had to find new places and uses for many of my mother's belongings again. And, we are still stepping over a lot of it because I did not just pack it all up and donate it to a thrift store. So, respecting her property and possessions continues to be a responsibility that has fallen on my shoulders. I already had everything I needed. Our problem as a society is two-fold... We think we need MANY many things, and we have major collections ... all the "collectibles" that retailers manage to create a desire for. Secondly, we don't live with our relatives like our ancestors did. So, we all establish housekeeping in our own homes, and we are living longer and using our things longer as well. So, by the time my mother passed, I already had my entire house fully stocked. She also had kept a lot of her own parents' and grandparents' possessions. You can't take it with you. So, don't spend money on a bunch of stuff you don't need. And, try to re-home your possessions before your children have to deal with them at a later time!
@Charlotte Grove not sure what exactly you're saying...but if they left their kids or someone everything then there's a good chance that financial stuff is being taken care of but they just aren't going to the home...maybe they are confused about it or they live too far.
You can find this happening in America its just a lot less common, if they have auto pay or something like that it will stay on, if you have it on a credit card it will keep going and it can create a huge issue trying to pay them off.
What a lovely bunch you lot are. Try to think of something positive to say. We will all die one day so why the negativity? No need. Edit - Joe Joe your point about black mold is of course valid.
Indeed. Imagine a time without cell phones and personal computers, digital music, 500 tv channels, etc. I lived it quite contentedly. Then imagine a time before tv, space travel, nuclear weapons, electric guitars, pennicillin, microwave ovens, and more. My parents lived that, contentedly. THEN imagine life before cars, airplanes, electricity, indoor plumbing, telephones, and radio! My paternal Grandpa, 1890-1969, lived SOME of that life. Knowing what we know and have now, it would drive me bananas to suddenly go back to 1890. But I miss the 1970s and 80s, and I wish I could go back.
This is so sad. It’s weird to think you can live your entire life and then one day you’re just gone and all of your things are just left there to rot and collect dust. At one point these people were loved and now it seems like they’re just forgotten.
HOUSE UPDATE: The home was completely demolished in the summer of 2022, The cars were removed sometime beforehand and now a new home is being built on the land.
What happend to the owners? Why did they demolish it
This seems such a shame. I know that the house 🏠 was in some serious 🧐 disrepair, but about anything can be fixed. The inside of this house looks way better than the roof top. This house was a time capsule, and everything of it appears to be period correct. This house was built WAY BETTER than the new house sitting there today, and it’s not even a time capsule by any means. That could be Buddy Holly on the notebook 📒. Ya should go on a program to save these time capsule houses 🏘 from being torn down. Again, this house looks pretty good 👍. Happy 😊 belated holidays, and a Happy 😊 and safe 2023. Your friend, Jeff.
I wonder what the story was with the family and as to why they just up n left the place to begin with.
@Travis Dean Borrowing money from the bank and not being able to pay back the principal amount with the interest is one way to put it.
when that happens that bank will claim foreclosure with or without a forcefull eviction.
in which case may turn you into a federal fugitive.
Leaving part = moving to a non extraditionary country where that country dont hand over people when asked to do so by another country.
The owners must of died and had no relatives left? Why is the electricity still on? Kind of sad that an empty home can have electricity without paying, but others who are actually living and do not have the money to pay their electricity will have it shut off.
I often see abandoned homes while truck driving, & can only think. Of all of the memories that were once created there
Yeah same, when I'm in car U'm mostly looking at abandoned house's. It's kinda creepy that they not there anymore but at the same time just think about what they did there.
That’s exactly how I feel
This is the exact sentiment I feel every time I see an abandoned home. A place once so full of life and emotions becoming empty and lifeless. One can only wonder why.
same here
Mostly old abandoned farmhouses and farming land with barns way out into the fields.
I like how the power is still on. Let me be a week late and the power company is telling me that their sending guys to break my legs.
How tf is the power still on? Don’t they cut it off if nobody’s paying it after a certain time???
Yeah, the calendar is from 2001 so how's the power on for 19-20 years?!

Probably set up on auto pay 🤷🏻♀️
I used to work for a bank that would clean up abandoned homes. I went to one house and the woman passed away in 1999 and it was deep in the mountains it was completely untouched it was really surreal.

I've seen this happen before. An old man in my area was removed from his home due to not being able to take care of himself. He then died like 2 days later. No family. All his finances were set up automatically. His social security/pension was deposited and his bills were paid automatically. His house was paid off. His house sat for 5 or 6 years vacant utilities on, paid, grass cut, car in the driveway, creepy as hell
Who cut the grass?

The decor, the materials and the style of home brought me back to my childhood and teens. There’s a lot of familiarity here. Doesn’t seem that long ago to me. I feel ancient now. My guess is the owners or occupant passed away and the property has probably been stuck in probate since. Lack of maintenance and water leaks probably contributed to the roof and ceiling deteriorating. A lot of elbow grease and money, and this home could be restored to its grandeur once again I am certain. I would love to see it restored to its original look. Too many home flippers are killing the “dated” styles I grew up with and everything seems so fake or too new. No comfort found in a place of familiarity. What a beautiful look into what once was.
This is what it feels like for me a lot of the time, i didn't grow up when this house was in its hay day but it feels like a home, I feel like there's no other place that feels comfortable more than places like these.
could be a child diddler house

Am I the only person who LOVES this house? Decay and trash aside.. I would love to reno this house.
Most often, the reason homes are abandoned like this is because of a death and the survivors can't deal with it. The power still on testifies that someone still pays the bill.
Must have paid the electric all in advance, and whoever it was left to, couldn't afford the upkeep, so they eventually left it
My grandfather left me 125 acres of land and his brick home is on that land. I sometimes go down to his old home and sit in the garage . Alot of memories growing up there. His old 80's Silverado, and old 69 c10 still sit there in the garage. When I visit that old house it's like time stands still. Then I lock up and head back to my own home on the same property. So cool
@ Excellent, Thank you for sharing such a special experience. I love the things that take me back in time.
@ It sounds like a gift from God.
Family can't deal with it, but the power company never physically went out and cut it off. The power company thinks it's probably shut off but it's not.
This is what happens when one either dies or falls on hard times. EVERYTHING in that life just STOPS! And life goes on without them. But that's life, and death.
Then we're forgotten and all that our lives were are represented by the things we left behind. Heart breaking.
Not really when someone dies the house is usually sold or foreclosed by a bank and sold
People need to start practicing minimalism. The amount of junk in these houses is ridiculous.
Heartbreaking, but fulfilling
Gives me a false sense of nostalgia.
@@hollaluyah Really is nostalgic if you lived through the time when all the stuff was commonplace. I did, do I felt it too, and sad for the folks who left this all behind. There has to be a story there. A sad story. 🙏
Best regards.👍
I wish someone could just..take care of this house. It’s so lovely and you can tell it took good care of it’s family.
It's amazing how *little* decay there is. Aside from obvious water damage in certain places, it's like there isn't even dust in a lot of the rooms. Thank you for sharing this once beautiful home !
The home is likely owned by someone in assisted living and can’t be sold yet, that is why it still has electricity. Nobody wants to put money into fixing it until they know it’s theirs to sell.
You are exactly correct, my parents have dealt with this situation with my grandparents and aunt, assisted living and/or nursing home do not take the home, when the person dies you are to sell assets and settle up, there are a lot of homes left to rot, I watched one completely fall in on itself years ago, was a beautiful rancher, same situation.
:( that is such a shame, to the older person and the home. upkeep is easy for a live in person and can be in exchange for staying there.
@@jh7614 You have no idea, volunteer at a home, care for an elderly person with dementia/Alzheimer, it is a full time job and can not be accomplished by just one person.
@@Maples01 the person is in a care facilty but the house power still on. I have a neighbor who is in this situation exactly and they care for the house in exchange for staying there but once the person dies it will be up for sale and that tenant must leave, it does work out in this particular situation when the house is vacant
@@jh7614 That requires trust, I know people who rent, you can't trust them, most times they ignore eviction notices, requires a court of law to get them out.
That’s a really beautiful house. It is somebody’s dream, that so much hope ( and money) went into....a labour of love. And yet, here it sits abandoned....I can never understand how this happens, these abandoned places break my heart, the life that they represent, just gone. It’s depressing really.
Most likely the past owners ran out of cash or passed away
The lady of the house was into crafts. Everything in the home reminds me the things my parents had in their home in the 80s and 90s. So these people would be in their 90s at least. I’m figuring they passed and the family knows it’s up there and just doesn’t want to deal with it.
@@jarc4 I have a feeling there are probate or problems with a contested will, but over that many years? Weird.

This reminds me of a house in my friend’s family. Grandpa eventually moved to a home and passed, and anyone who’d inherit it had houses of their own. Someone probably still comes by this place from time to time
Exactly. Plus the power was on. Power wouldent stay on for 19 years if nobody was paying it. Somebody was paying for the power to stay on which means somebody wanted the house to stay like that and prolly went back every once in awhile for memories. What doesent make sense though is that pics of their kids were left behind and other pics. Makes you think if they cared about the people who lived here to keep the power going and things why leave pics and precious thinks behind. And also why leave 3 what would have been at the time beautiful and crazy expensive cars behind. So many questions about this place lol.

This makes me think whoever lived here died unexpectedly and left the ownership in limbo or at least dispute.
Yep, I would agree.
I think so too. Whatever it was, it was tragic. Makes me sad to watch this. There's artwork on the fridge saying, "I miss you so much."
Or didn't have no family.
Agree with your thought or even they died and the family was unknown and while it was looked into sat there and taxes mortgage whatever built up that family couldnt afford and the government forclosed on it and kept it, or the family that was left older too parents die and child is older to and something happened to them
Sad to see such a beautiful home abandoned
From the information at hand, I can make an educated guess. This was a vacation home owned by a retired firefighter. His occupation is apparent from the fireman statues and other memorabilia still there. The plywood panels which fell down indicate he built the house himself using low-cost materials. The fact that there are three woodstoves mean he knew there could be frequent power outages, and he enjoyed being rustic. Both he and his wife stocked the place with antiques, most of which have been stolen.
The whole family was there for Christmas 2001. During the celebrations, somebody had a life-threatening emergency. Everything was abandoned, and the family rushed to the hospital. Sadly, things didn't go well. Younger family members came back to begin cleaning out the house (hence the trash can in the sun room), but they lost heart and left. They never got around to finishing the cleanup, although they always meant to. Power is still on because they keep meaning to come back and use the place for themselves, but there's probably an ongoing quarrel in the family over property rights.
Meanwhile, the property continues to decay.
I think so too. Maybe grandma died in 97, this the medicine bottles and grandmas couldn’t bear to let go or get rid of anything. The decor is very late 80’s. Then as you say, leading up to Christmas something happened. Shame. Maybe the surviving family can’t afford to make the trip or fix it up. Too bad cuz there’s some nice stuff still left.
If he was a retired fireman, & if this house is located closer to the east coast...could be he volunteered orthat something happened during 9/11...a lot of people from all over went to NY to help during that time..🤷♀️

Amazing how the power is still on. There’s got to be a family member who still pays the utilities. Thank you for being so incredibly respectful to the home 🥰 I can’t believe all the photo albums are still there. Does anyone know more about this home??
Perhaps a trust
I can't believe that anyone would abandon their home in such a way. There has to be a story connected to this house, and why it was left with everything...So sad...
i saw other people saying the owner is still alive, hes just been in a nursing home for ages
It was probably the man and wife living there and one suddenly died. I know this from firsthand experience.
Exactly, happens all the time. And it's very very sad. Usually the government steps in and takes everything, sells it all if there's no one left. But its super disrespectful that people just tromp thru someone's house.... Especially in a country where people shoot people all the time.
The home looks like a "Royal Home". They are prebuilt modules and fully built on site mainly in Ontario. Company is still very well around and focuses on cottage country. Ours was built in 1986 and has a very similar structure but smaller. Same ceiling, banisters, high windows, living room with fireplace and all.. only bricks not field stones. What a gem! There must be some heat source though if abandoned for so long and still in that condition. No visible mold or rodent damage is amazing specially with our seasons. Bought ours in 2006 and love it.
I bet the company would love to see how well it has stayed without occupants. Just had a thought, maybe the company can look in their records to see who bought it. Even if the present owners bought it from someone else there would be a paper trail to follow. Doing a search online would be easy.

I could totally see the scenario of older person still alive, in a assisted living... i never thought about this until reading some of these comments, but heres a real life situation with my own grandparent. My grandpa passed away 17 years ago. My grandmother has always been in good shape, body and mind, shes extremely stubborn. Until one day she fell down her stairs with a laundry basket, and broke her hip and foot. My grandparents had 2 kids, my mom and my uncle. Im my moms only child, and my uncle had only one child as well. My mother is a dentist, and still works full time, my uncle is retired, however lives over a hour away from my grandma. I moved out of state, and my uncles daughter was 3 hours away at college. The decision was made to put her in assisted living to heal, after she refused with everything in her, (remember i said she was stubborn). However that was the only option, with us having no other family near to care for her, and her refusing in home care because she "didnt want strangers in her house". The plan was to rehab her to walking again, then she could go back home. However, after she was there a year, she got sick. It made her weak, and the weakness stayed after the sickness was gone. She has always been tiny, (5'1, maybe 100 pounds) so she had no strength left, although her mind was still 100% there, her body was tired. This happened 9 years ago. Shes still alive, and still sharp as a tack, but never was able to regain her strength enough to get out of a wheelchair. She is still convinced in her mind that she will return home again someday. She turned 98 last month. We, the family, know that will never happen at this point... but you cant tell her that. With that being said, her house has been sitting vacant for these 9 years..... and will continue to sit until she passes away and my mother and uncle devide everything.. neither will want it, i live out of state and my only cousin has since moved away as well. The power is still on, the lawn is mowed by my uncle. Any needed repairs to the house to keep it sealed, and maintained have been done through the years. But, what if my mom and uncle didnt get along? What if none of us lived in the same state? The house would look just like this........
She is declared incompetent by a court, an administrator is appointed, her property is sold, taxes are collected.
Those folks had made a fine home in the woods, driving luxury cars, made the most of their time.
I love this! I wanted to do a series in the Mojave like this and it’s nice to see how it can be done well, a lot of people are saying that no one would want to watch abandoned stuff and it makes me feel great that this type of content does work.
I'm 42 and the gingerly way he walks through this house makes me feel like I'm 70. He walks through that house like it's from the 1800s and there are ancient artifacts in there or something hahahaha he's very respectful...Just makes me feel older than I am lol
I know,right! They don’t know what anything is called…ie woodstoves, 8 track instead of cassette tapes, perfume samples etc lol. Beautiful home, it’s a shame nobody kept it up
I'm 43.. I got strong Grandma/Grandpa's house vibes. That said, being careful is good, abandoned places (esp houses) often have mushy floors.
Always good to be respectful. Unfortunately not everybody is - the owners didn’t leave the house like that, it was almost definitely some other “explorer”

If you really want to determine when those cars were last used, take a quick look in the glove compartment. Very possible to find registration, etc. Also look at the mileage. If it really low it was probably an old couple.
Check the trunks for the owners
@@davidr1676 why do u find this funny?
Look for false teeth and denture cleaner. Hearing aids. AARP cards.
A good chunk of money in the antiques that I see...here in the States. especially here in WV, that place would be ransacked within a week and stripped down to get the copper wiring. I don't kmow why abandoned homes and such fascinate me...this was fantastic, I would spend hours in there going through things and trying to piece together the lives that were lived there.
This home makes me sad, it looks so lonely and at the same time like someone is about to walk in the door! I could almost feel the sadness
What amazes me is that there's still power and one of you was able to get the TV going and put on a video. If the place wasn't too far beyond repair and restoration, I'd want to fix it up and live in it!
The owners never left. Check the trunk of the "Bentley" Continental.

Why are you on RUclips if you’re homeless? Do you want to NOT be homeless?

@Shannon Stansberry I guess if they want to, who’s to say they can’t, but what would be the point? Do you WANT to stay homeless, or not? If someone didn’t want to, I don’t see how getting hooked on RUclips would fix that. I could think of a lot of other things that could fix that situation, even with a mental illness or addiction, and youtube isn’t one of them unless they’re making videos and getting plenty of hits and subscribers.

Man, I bet the family would appreciate getting those photo albums back.
My guess is there can't be any family or they wouldn't be left here to begin with after whatever clearly happened unexpectedly to the inhabitants :o(
People generally don't leave stuff like that behind if it's something they want. My guess is the people who lived in the house might have died and had no one left in their life who cared enough to do anything with the house, or at least no one who lived in the area.
Yeah, everyone needs a closet full of useless crap.
@@rogersmith7396 Its only useless if you don't like your family very much.
Photo albums show this was before cell phones with cameras. I had a dozen of those monstrosities and had to find a compact way to store them. I saw VHS, 8 tracks and cassettes..... I thought. Nothing more up to date.
The more I watched the more at home I felt. Around 96-97 was the last golden years of my childhood home. Walking through there for me was like walking through my house. I grew up with my grandparents. That felt like an old home for a couple generations. Simpler times...
Makes me sad to see houses like this. At one time someone loved this house it was HOME now no one wants it 😢

I want it
It is save-able. The Serve-Pro company clean up after fires and floods. They also do mold abatement. Then you would need a reputable general contractor to clear the driveway, parking lot, the roof and gutter replacement. A tree surgeon to clean up the trees, a landscaping crew tofix up the grounds. You missed the view from the basement. There was probably a back deck, a fire pit, and a hot tub, too.
@@jacobshort6528 Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to do that? I have long thought that houses have hearts ♥️. Especially since I had to move from the house I grew up in because the government bought it for imminent domain to tear down and build highway.

This house hasn’t been touched in far longer than 5 years. I’d guess 2 decades. So tragic to see all those memories, wedding photos, things that were precious to someone. My guess is some thing very catastrophic happened to this family, for a family to have that many photos, they had to of been a close family. And that no one would check on the house to sort their affairs so something probably happened to their loved ones too. I am almost 40 and grew up with parents that would now have been 80 years old, and a lot of those things in the video remind me of my childhood and of my grandmothers house.
Abandoned for 19 Years!
@@janethoulette1802 I was going to guess 20.

My grandma is 90, lives on her own in the house my grandparents built together. It still has pink bathroom tub, sink toilet and 1960s tile in the kitchen and bathroom. The only thing new is the carpet and that's about 20 years old lol all in excellent condition though. Looks new still.
@@jessicascearcy2511 lol, did we have the same grandparents? My grandfather built their house in the late 1950's...they had a pepto-bismol pink bathroom.

lol right? my house was built in 1853, full of antiques either I bought, or inherited.. everything works, including my 1950 Norge refrigerator. I bought vintage because the wall socket where the fridge goes only has two prongs.
My class A, bi-amped, 25w, Bang & Olufsen sound system is 28 years old and sounds brand new and CLEANLY loud. NEVER giving it up.....
It’s a Lincoln Continental..NOT a “Bentley” Continental.
I thought it was a Canadian thing...
And no plate. What a mystery Scoob! ***Bumper laying mere inches away face down***
Thank you I was going to tell him that
Yes. I'm not sure if the "Lincoln" brand-name was used in Canada or not. I know "Mercury" was a brand-name used in Canada, part of Ford's "Lincoln-Mercury" division. But Bentley, I highly doubt. I may be wrong, but I think the Continental is a limousine version, that could be ordered from the factory versus an after-market limo retrofit.
Lmao

Come over to my house and tidy it up here. 😉

Right?
It makes me sad that an entire family is simply forgotten. I love doing urban exploration when I can, and more often than not, when I find old photos, I might take a few just so to remember them, even when I don't. I guess its like leaving a flower fon a forgotten grave somewhere. There was life there once, a family and a home of love, only to fade away. Just sad.
That's an expensive house when it was built I guarantee you that

Poison was a brand of women’s perfume that was popular in the 70sor 80s
My ex wife used poison. I thought it smelled so nice.
You mean Dior Poison? It’s still made if that’s what you mean
That's right, it was very strong. You can still get poison the perfume today.
@@samtron5000 yes it came out in the 80s Poison by dior, strong, the newer one is a little less aggressive on the nose 🤣
@@nikkioshea4139 yes strong so its a must to remind people a small spray is plenty. 1 small spray and it did smell nice. My wife now ex wife used poison. It was a nice smell in small amounts. Some women though thought they needed to shower in it and women still feel the need to shower in perfume. If you can be smelled a week after leaving the elevator you used a little too much. If on a city bus and i can smell you before entering the bus maybe try less. If im at the back of walmart using the pooper and i can smell you the second you enter the front doors i think its time to shower and change your clothes cause that much makes most men have a severe head ache. Ive picked chicks up for a date. I parked 50 feet from their door. They walk out the door i yell shower and change first. Not getting in this small car smelling like that. They yell they just showered so then why so much perfume im about to puke from the strong smell 50 feet away out side.
My gut feeling is that this family suffered a life changing catastrophe and lost entirely their connection with their home and life. To leave behind wedding photos means something irredeemable happened. I feel sad for them.
Agree, something catastrophic had to have happen for so much to be left behind, i’m definitely curious about the backstory of this home.
May have passed of old age wonder who is paying the light bill. They may not care about it.

For the collapsed ceiling in the living room. Roof starts leaking, and if it's not noticed and repaired the drywall gets saturated with water and a comes down. Only takes a few weeks or months. So that damage is probably less than a year or two old since there isn't alot of mold etc growing.
Yes, happened in a room in my house where the roof shingles came off, only leaked for a short time, but the ceiling collapsed. Luckily, insurance paid for 'storm damage'.

As a person who has lived through the 80s in the 90s, etc. That house was very typical of houses during the late 80s and early 90s. I to had a kitchen with stencils on the walls and collected country type items. I actually moved from Ohio and lived in the mountains of Idaho and much of those antiques came in handy. I had a white china cookstove like the one in that kitchen. I also heated my house with a wood-burning stove like which was in the family room. That house Is not an abandoned if the electricity is still on. I suspect the owners died suddenly, it looks like the family took the antiques and sold them, and left everything else and never finish the cleanup process. I cannot believe that people would leave behind old photographs of their family! That part is heartbreaking!
It happens a lot. I've been to thrift shops where entire family albums with the pictures included are for sale. Its so odd and sad
We love the respect you show by not sharing the privacy of the previous occupations. By not rooting through everything and keeping photos private

Just Subscribed!! This is fascinating! I had an Uncle who inherited his Mama's (my Great-Grandmother's) home in 1972 when she passed. He put up gates and wouldn't let anybody go in. When he passed in 1991, almost 20 years later, my Daddy got the house. He took the gate down & we were stunned to find everything just as it was the day Granny Pearl passed in 1972. All her homemade jellies and jams and canned garden vegetables were still in the pantry and even her clothes were still lying on the bed and perfume bottles still on her dresser. Somebody cares a lot about this house to keep paying the electric bill. I'm surprised there weren't any No Trespassing signs posted.
That is defanitley a time capsule. I wonder, how did the house hold up? I would suspect after 19 years water damage would be pretty horrible.
No electric used, no electric bill. It is NOT a big mystery.
This is still a beautiful place and a great explore thank you for taking me with you.
This wife was a dedicated crafter. Those birds and sunflowers were painted over stencils.
A Long lost uncle was recently found after a neighbor tracked down my dad through his dad. The Uncle passed away in 2001 we just found his house two months ago. Even had family photos of my dad and my grandfather on a fishing trip when my dad was 6 now 75! The Uncle never had kids and neighbors liked him. So they kept his yard up and were really happy to find my dad. The house is in surprisingly decent shape. Currently we are dealing with the county for back taxes and have a court appointment to show the judge that my dad is closest living relative. The house isn’t worth much we will clean it up and sell it. Might get $30,000 possibly less after expenses etc. More than anything we are happy to be closing a chapter of family history that was lost for a long time. Plus we owe the neighbors getting the home cleaned up and sold to new people who will be part of the community👍
Where are you located. My daughter and I need a home.
Shits sad to watch. This was once a nice hole in a beautiful spot where someone’s loved ones lived, who knows what could have happened to lead to this. Even sadder he didn’t open the fridge

Don't family members ever say hey remember uncle mike and aunt sue that had that nice house in mountains? Whatever happened? The bank foreclosed etc. Did someone buy it? Let me check? No? Let's go see if we can find family photos and such.
Fascinating. This was someone's life. They went to a store to buy each of those paints, magazines etc. That faithful TV and VCR recreated entertainment for their owners' ears and eyes. It's hard to fathom all of those family albums left to rot and be forgotten.. How could no one have wanted them? An odd feeling of sorrow for this is what our things usually amount to in the end.
This place is actually an elderly person was taken into a care facility and his bills are paid by coming out of his account that's why they still have electricity you could be in a care facility for years and as long as his bills are getting paid by you know taken directly from his bank account he doesn't have to be involved on any level as long as the bills keep on getting paid in taxes for the house
You're most likely correct since the vehicles are high end they most likely have the funds to support this place unattended!!!!!!!
Best thing to do is look up the owner and notify them. Maybe a another family member can get the things out of the house before it's to late
Thanks for the video, I alway see abandend homes that looks like people left to work or visit somebody and NEVER returned back. Things are left as if the owners will be back home that evening. You start wondering about who lived in that house and what happened to them and why nobody even removed the personal belongings. No siblings!?, no relatives!? no friends!?. sometimes heart breaking...
In comments someone knows the family. She has passed and he’s in a nursing home. The electric is being paid, probably by family who may live far away. I wouldn’t consider “abandoned”. Terrible what people have done to it by ransacking. “Poison” is a perfume! Omg, the decor is not that old. It’s 1980’s n 90’s- look in your parents house, find same stuff! Craft/Sewing room-HGTV/Pinterest ya’ll come on-it’s a now thing too! Ceiling could of collapsed in last yr or 2. We have same car in my driveway now-Grandma’s. It’s isolated n in woods, leaves etc., maybe family hasn’t been able travel and check on it last 5 yrs. Mice making nests in Winter happens ever year in our cabins. It looked nice before people broke in and rummaged thru someone’s home. Sad.
Sounds accurate and easy to research the background from scripts,pix,letters and licence plate left behind. Thanks.
@Kathleen O'Brien, to you, and anyone else that is whining about people that are exploring abandoned places, you could get things like this settled with proper wills and, to be honest, there are plenty of good families that honestly need a new place to live, or a place to live period, simply because they lack a roof over their heads. Not all of the homeless people are selfish, drug addicted, drunks, or horrible people...some of them just simply have fallen on hard times and a roof over the heads of these people would do wonders in giving them a new lease on life.
Very sad...most houses like this is health issues..very sad...i cant believe the kids pics prob grand kids wudnt come by to clean out old pics..n memories...
Than that family is terrible and abusive.they probably tell the nursing home person that their house is taken care of. If you given power of attorney over someone's property it is your responsibly to maintain it. It has lost all its value due to most likely lazy children and family members. Horrifying and disrespectful!
And this guy is breaking into personal property. How does everyone just go along with this? He’s committing a crime and recording it.
Wow, they had 2 Caddys AND a Lincoln. They were well off.
They had 2 20 yr old caddy's and a 30 yr old Lincoln.
Normally 20-30 years seems to be the bottom of the market for cars.
When people consider them scrap before maybe becoming collectable.
I suspect although there hard models to date due to long production cycles of luxury style car body's. And assuming 2001-2003 they bailed.
See how assuming things about this sort of stuff is so hard to do.
But still interesting to think about.
@@asdasd-ni8eg It's true. They conceivably could've bought all of them used. I doubt it. But it's funny how cars depreciate, hit bottom, and if they survive, gradually appreciate!

There has been a few abandoned places where the utilities were still running and one theory that cropped up was that the utility companies are just saving themselves a few bucks by not having to physically send someone out to disconnect a building that is no longer drawing power anyways.
I think a better theory is that they keep it on so the next owner has to pay for the bills if they wanna keep the power going. Same think happens with property taxes.
Working for the electric co.
I believe the owners have autopay account.
With plenty of money in the account.
Seen this a few times.
Owner could be in a nursing facility, that could account for power still on.
Do you mean that the power company must not be doing their job? It seems to me that it would be less costly to physically turn it off
This is such a shame. Although this house 🏠 was in need of a few serious repairs, the saying is, about anything can be fixed. To see a time capsule house torn down, is just sickening. The condition of this house actually looks better than the roof 🔝. Everything there appears to be period correct. This house was built WAY BETTER than the house there today, and it is not a time capsule by any means. Ya should make your own program, saving time capsule houses from being torn down. I also hope those old cars 🚗 weren’t taken to a recycling place to be crushed. I hope 🤞 somebody got to take them home 🏡, and restore them. Happy 😊 belated holidays, and a happy 😊 and safe 2023!! Your friend, Jeff.
I find this story hard to believe...the electric would not be on still if it was truly abandoned!
Are you kidding me? Consumers Energy will look for any excuse to turn on your power. I called them when a squatter broke into a house that I had sitting vacant, and I informed them that I was not living in the home and to let me know if someone tried to have the power turned on. You know what they did? They never called me whatsoever. They informed me that they had sent two cards in the mail, which never arrived. They said that the cards were to inform me the power was being turned on at my house, even though I had specifically stated there was a squatter in my house living there illegally, and to make sure you don't turn on the power for anyone, without calling me on the telephone first.. In the end, they tried to stick me with the bill. I had it documented, so I stuck them with it instead. Meanwhile, never trust power companies as far as you can throw them. This house looks abandoned to me, and the power being on does not tell a different story, it tells the same story.
Believe it or not I live right across the street from a home that was abandoned in 2011 and ot still has fully functioning power. It has massive holes in the ceiling and its TRASHED but somehow every single light works in it.

nice high scale 80s home, I’m sure the people that lived there had sudden health issues and since have passed. it’s pretty much exactly what happens to everyone in this world, but usually the family does something with the property after. sad that it was left like this but someone does own it, go check the public records and talk to them about it. would make a great part 2 to the video, and be much more responsible.

My guess is that 1 aging Grandparent got sick or died and the remaining partner wasn't able to stay in this big old rambling isolated high maintenance house. Perhaps like many old couples the surviving spouse didn't live that much longer. It's such a sad waste of a formerly great house.

@@johnkaplan5364 if he was, then there’d be even more questions as to why he was left in this specific spot
I was thinking the very same thing.
I was thinking the same thing, and the house was abandonded bc they all had to go to the WPP.
It's like were Hooper and Eleven lived. That desk is a roll down my great-grandfather had one it was fun to look into all the little doors... treasures..
The sample perfume "Poison". 🤣 It's a blast from the past, most is 80's decor. It's definitely an older person's home who was no longer able to stay at home.
This was likely a grandparent's home. They probably died suddenly and the family was either too busy or pained to deal with it. They also could have just not cared, which would be incredibly sad. I'd love to own a home in the deep woods.
Ya but it looks so nice seems like they would’ve tried to sell it to get some money just kinda weird how you can leave such a nice home like that
Yes it seems they were grandparents and had money. 3 expensive cars and a large nice house. The porno mirror and magazines don't seem to fit with the extensive grandma craft room and all the family pictures. Maybe after they died someone used the house to film porn.
Most likely someone was using it as a shelter as it's empty and that's where the magazines came from. We have old empty houses on the mountain trails where I live. Sometimes squatters stay in them. Especially if it had electric still running!
You can never tell about people.
They could have been sociopaths and their children can’t bear to go through all their stuff... or the children disowned them long ago.
@@dianarhyne True!.
Its so sad people can't respect other people's property and families just throw away what people work all their life for it really is to bad you can't take it with you so sad
Won't need materialistic items no matter where you spend eternity.
You have no idea what you are looking at and apparently you don't really care. If you cared you would look at the obvious clues to whoever it was that left this property abandoned. You are just children, with children's curiosity only.
@@bobberguy1 it will
The problem is that most people have all they need by the time their parents pass away. I learned that three times! I moved my mother from her apartment into an assisted living facility, and we had to find places and uses for at least half of her belongings. Then, mother-in-law passed. We had to find places and used for alot of her things as well. My ex moved into her place, and he didn't really have anything to his name when he did, so some of it was kept. She had also culled about half of her belongings about 5 years before she passed away.
Then, when my mother passed, we cleaned out her apartment. We are keeping some things for when my daughter moves out and gets her own place, but we had to find new places and uses for many of my mother's belongings again. And, we are still stepping over a lot of it because I did not just pack it all up and donate it to a thrift store.
So, respecting her property and possessions continues to be a responsibility that has fallen on my shoulders. I already had everything I needed.
Our problem as a society is two-fold... We think we need MANY many things, and we have major collections ... all the "collectibles" that retailers manage to create a desire for. Secondly, we don't live with our relatives like our ancestors did. So, we all establish housekeeping in our own homes, and we are living longer and using our things longer as well. So, by the time my mother passed, I already had my entire house fully stocked. She also had kept a lot of her own parents' and grandparents' possessions.
You can't take it with you. So, don't spend money on a bunch of stuff you don't need. And, try to re-home your possessions before your children have to deal with them at a later time!
I agree, but the people who inherited this place really should be looking after it too.
I love how much respect is shown to these abandoned places. Its wonderful!
This looks like an old persons house that died ... but makes no sense why power on ? Here in America if u don’t pay u get cut off
They may be still paying. Auto pay.
@Charlotte Grove not sure what exactly you're saying...but if they left their kids or someone everything then there's a good chance that financial stuff is being taken care of but they just aren't going to the home...maybe they are confused about it or they live too far.
@Charlotte Grove yeah that makes sense....I didn't think about doors being unlocked lol.
You can find this happening in America its just a lot less common, if they have auto pay or something like that it will stay on, if you have it on a credit card it will keep going and it can create a huge issue trying to pay them off.
Must be different in Ontario. Or they just fell thru the cracks. Even if the house still has power, it won't use any if everything is turned off.
I like how his girl broke something and he cut the video off and was in another room when he started the video again
Literally glad I wasn’t the only one
Lord help us with this electronic generation........ They are absolutely clueless on history, common sense and practical living.
Agreed. Cannot drive a stick shift, & "dial " a phone. I'm so grateful the year I was born, & wish I had Most of those days back.
What a lovely bunch you lot are. Try to think of something positive to say. We will all die one day so why the negativity? No need.
Edit - Joe Joe your point about black mold is of course valid.
Indeed. Imagine a time without cell phones and personal computers, digital music, 500 tv channels, etc. I lived it quite contentedly. Then imagine a time before tv, space travel, nuclear weapons, electric guitars, pennicillin, microwave ovens, and more. My parents lived that, contentedly. THEN imagine life before cars, airplanes, electricity, indoor plumbing, telephones, and radio! My paternal Grandpa, 1890-1969, lived SOME of that life. Knowing what we know and have now, it would drive me bananas to suddenly go back to 1890. But I miss the 1970s and 80s, and I wish I could go back.
I hear ya there clueless lol
I hear ya there clueless lol
This is so sad. It’s weird to think you can live your entire life and then one day you’re just gone and all of your things are just left there to rot and collect dust. At one point these people were loved and now it seems like they’re just forgotten.
I'd buy that house and fix it it's not a bad repair a new roof the new drywall clean everything down and move right in it can be a home again
Yeah , it looks totally fixable.. as long as the foundation is ok.
Might want to level it first and see what's under it.
I agree! I want to sell my overpriced and now overvalued house in the city and move somewhere like this!
@@462ANIMAL foundation didn’t look too bad when they went in the basement
i was thinking that too, just hire someone or do it yourself and it can be in mint condition
