STORY
🏠 In Today's Journey: Deep Exploration into Alabama's Forgotten History
Join us as we venture deep into the outskirts of Alabama, where we stumbled upon an eerie, yet captivating scene - a completely furnished house, abandoned for decades.
Through our research, the mystery deepened as we discovered the tragic tale of the last inhabitant, Misses Ted, who tragically passed away on the couch inside the house. Due to cost savings, she was buried in her own backyard.
Before she passed away, she had spent over two decades living here alone. Her children had stopped visiting, and there was hardly anyone who cared for her. Adding to her loneliness, her husband had passed away in the 70s, leaving her without her beloved soulmate for decades.
This tale dates back over three decades, and astonishingly, no one, not even the children, seems to care about the belongings left behind. Once a happy family home, it now stands as a desolate time capsule, a testament to the past happiness of Mister Leo, Misses Ted, and their three beloved children.
With a touch of sadness and intrigue, we invite you to join us on this journey where we unveil their forgotten story. Discover the secrets that lie within this haunting residence, a symbol of a bygone era.

Just a couple of corrections; the one piano is an upright the other one is a Baby Grand. Some of the beds are from the late 1800's and some early 1900's. My grandparents had similar beds. I think the one is a Jenny Lind. This lady being 85 would definitely have furniture from her parents or grandparents. There are lots and lots of antiques furniture in the South. I am 74 and I have furniture from my grandmothers and from a great aunt. Would love to have any of the antiques. Sad to see them decaying.
Unfortunately, I don’t think he reads Comments, as he repeatedly makes the same mistakes. 😢 🌺
How do you find these magnificent places...
I think he has passion to explore but not eager to be more knowledgeable. Thank you anyway.
Call me strange, but I would actually like to die alone in my house in my own armchair/bed. It sounds peaceful to me rather than tragic. I can't think of a better way to go honestly.
Yeah, I don't want to die in a cold, loud uncaring nursing home. I would want to be at home too
I agree as my Dad died at home on his sofa suddenly and for him I think it’s so much better
I agree better than in a hospital far from home.
I love how real you are!!! There are so many stories of people who died alone. Family should be more attentive! Some family members are so cruel!
It’s not always the family’s fault. Many elderly folks refuse to leave their homes. As long as they are of sound mind, you cannot force them to leave the homes they feel is safest and quietest.
@@patriciawilhite7038 Yes, that's true, but I have seen it with my own eyes how cruel some children can be. Thank you for the feedback.
What a gem. Incredible find. The first book "Let Your Name Be Sanctified" is published by Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society on January 1,1961. She must have loved music with so many pianos in the house. I love how respectful you are of the people who once resided in these places.
The Watchtower bible tract is from the Jehovahs Witnesses
I love everything about this channel from Leslie's voice, the places they go, the houses everything ❤❤❤❤❤
Somebody needs to rescue the antiques from this house.

Let's go!!
The news paper was probably brought there to wrap glassware for the family to pack what they wanted 😊
Those mattresses we see at ~33:00, in the baby's crib, and 35:00 were handmade, possibly by the householders. I still have such a mattress, made by my Grandmother. Back in the day 🙂 there were traveling merchants. They would put announcements in local newspapers, telling the folks in a town or community when they would be there. They sold the ticking (the heavy canvas-like outer fabric) and cotton batting (the "filler" was layers of cotton fibers that were rolled out in layers, until the desired thickness was achieved) (you can google terms) and sewn into the case. My Grandmother told me several times about how they were made.
(By the way, the English pronunciation of "sew", "sewing" (machine) is like in Dutch soo. Rhymes with so, flow, sow - Bro...) 🙂
I love your explorations, and really appreciate how you appreciate the lives that the homes you visit represent.
I wonder: When you're back at your home, sitting, late at night, do you ever imagine that in 70 or 80 years, someone may be exploring the room you're now sitting in? Do you wonder what questions they may have about the significance of the things that you have, the life that you led?
Keep up the good work!
Hello Phillip how are you doing today
Leslie you are always so respectful with your energy and how you word the narrative of peoples lives. Thanks for being kind.
Thanks for the special treat for your fans by jumping into the cold water, that's why we all love you and your videos. I knew you wouldn't recognize the celebrities photos, Bob hope, Henry Fonda and I believe the other one Was Tyrone Power very impressive, I'm sure she was very proud of them.
This is truly a sad story, this woman died alone without her children. No one should die alone that way.
there is something to be said about passing away in your own home.
@@billybobjoe2818 yeah my grandmother wanted to but the family wouldn't let her
The photos of the men in picture frames on the piano were actors, Humphrey Bogart and Bob Hope. The other one by itself, I am not sure of who it is. Lol. I am 50 years old and remember growing up seeing them because of my parents and grandparents. 😊.
Thanks for sharing this home with us! I have been watching you when you only had 20,000 subscribers. You have grown so much and are very respectful of people's lives and their property. Thank you Leslie for that!!! Your parents should be proud of you and the young man you have become. My adult son will be 25 next year, and I have taught him to be respectful too. Unfortunately, not many young adults act that way. Keep up the good work!! I live in the state of Georgia. Please visit our state. I know of several homes you can venture and see. 😊
God bless you always!!❤
Sincerely,
Joy Carey from Georgia
The photo standing alone is of Hollywood actor Tyrone Power.
So sad
We all should visit the older people and call them
No one should be alone no matter what age
I'm in Alabama, I'm very happy to see y'all exploring the state i now live in.
So sad, when there's no one left or none who care that these memories are decaying away. Thank You good video. Be Safe.♥️😊✌️
Hi,Lesley! This is such a sad emotional life story! Unfortunately , many people end up abandoned by family and friends nowadays and have to deal with loneliness and death!
Thank you for this nice exploration!
Take care ! Good night and sweet dreams!🌛🌠
I am 73 and I always worry I will be left alone when I get even older and my health gets worse. Getting old is not fun🙏🙏❤️
@@Kare1949....
I'm 65 and I feel the same. My son has his own life with his wife and 2 daughters. I never hear from them and they live in the same town. But nothing I can do. It's just the way life is I suppose.
I have 5 children and I only have a son that lives in the same town as me and I very rarely see or hear from him or his wife@@lindatimmons3675
I took care of my grandparents. Last one was my paternal grandmother. This was in 2010 and I was told by a nurse in the emergency room that I took her to one time that nobody did anything for their grandparents these days. I was really shocked. My family never did our elders like that. Until my worthless brother and after grandma passed on I told him to take a hike, like a lifelong one the hell away from me. LoL. I'm in my 60th year now. But my health is good, I'm very lucky that way plus I worked out every other day since 2011. Life doesn't have to be a drag when you're old.
@@Kare1949sorry for you 😢
A long time ago, like when that home was occupied, the wife would always say " Mrs (with husband's name". The wife would not put her name on something. It was always with the husband's name.
I can imagine her playing her beautiful piano with her favorite music, then being tired , laying on the couch and went to sleep, never to wake up. What a peaceful way to go.❤
So sad to see furniture and belongings left behind to slowly rot away. I hope she passed peacefully, at least she was in her own home and not in a strange institution somewhere. A plus in my book! Thanks for your respectful video!
Been watching for months. I never thought I would be interested on these kind of videos but your videos are really great sir.
Hello, the 3 black and white photos, on top of the upright piano in the second bedroom, are from left to right : Henry Fonda, Bob Hope and Tyrone Power. All 3 are famous actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood 1930 -1950 , and beyond.
Thank you Leslie! Very sad that she lived all alone for a long time.
Hello Lail how are you doing today
It is obvious that the children have come and taken what they wanted. Along with other explorers.
The Bessy Pease Guzman picture above the bed was very.popular art place above the bed in a child's room for decor. So maybe it was her favorite pice of art. That is an antique rocker which makes me think it used to be a child's room. Family names are usually put in bibles also. Wow you always tell such a wonderful story in each home you explore! I so love your videos!
Hello Vicki how are you doing today
I have problems watching these kind of homes. I wonder if my own life might wind up like these. Looks like she was just waiting for her life to end. I dont know what she was feeling at the end but she was alone. Something no one want to be. I hope she had a great life.
Lesley, maybe the calendar were different pictures of family members? I know that I had made one for my parents years ago and it is still in a calendar holder on their wall.
Nice to see the organ is still there and looks like it's in a good condition considering the abandonment for years. Love the old sewing machine as well, love seeing sewing machine and old musical instruments in these abandoned places. Thanks for the video Lesley and showing us the history of this place.
I love watching your videos, but it always makes me a little sad. I’m elderly and feel like I’m one of those poor souls who were left alone.
This will be me someday as I have a collection of various antiques; not a hoarder. I love my things but my daughters have nothing to do with me anymore and will not be on my will. It's a very sad world and situation. 💔
It's a sad world. Being there for my mom during her last years was the best experience of my life. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am very thankful for that time. I miss her so much.
Very sad Shari 😔 💔 , sorry your family isn't together. I never had a great relationship with my mom , but I learned to forgive and forget. I'd never dump or leave a family member. Every single one means so much , especially when you don't have many family members left . I hope you and your family can reunite, hugs 🫂 🤗
Dont worry .... what is a daughter anyway... a person ... just because they were from an egg that was once yours ... Thats little... Dont expect anything from them and dont let them occupy space in your mind.... fill your mind with good people there are other persons in your world who , just because they are not from an egg that was yours. are daughters of yours as well. You know who these nice people are and you can relate to them in a way a mother does to her daughter.. I see all people as my relatives and some are nicer than others.
At the end of the day, they are just things. Things are for life. You'll have no need for them in death. I am not having kids so I will die with a house full of my crap too but it's fine. I'll be dead so I won't care or know what happens to it all anyway. It will be sold in an estate sale/auction probably. It's sad the family heirlooms won't stay in the family, but it is what it is. Maybe they will bring joy to someone else's life somewhere or become a new family's heirloom.
Good way of looking at it...live for today@@c64844
Hello Lesley, great to see another adventure from you on this Sunday afternoon (my time zone), evening for you in Portugal... Another beautiful explore handled with your usual care and sensitive manner. Very sad and unusual for you to know of a situation if true, where the former resident died in the home... Some of the things I noticed are that the car outside is not a Buick, but a late '70's early '80's Ford Fairmont ('78 - '83) and in the book of 'Etiquette' in the grand piano room I believe was the name "Nell Turner". That page of stamps for you found on the floor, "S & H Green Stamps" as they were known... I haven't seen them in ages, yes they were given out mostly in grocery stores from making purchases. The more you spent, the more you received... and could trade them in for household items. Anyway, thanks for sharing with us... Take care on your current and future adventures and say "hey" to Danny for me! Eric W.
Yes, believe you are correct about it being a Fairmont. I had been thinking it was a 70's model Granada.
Hermosa casa,a veces pienso porque nadie quiere recuperar todos esos recuerdos q triste,pero en fin gracias lesley
Great find, Lesley. Sending Love❤.
Hello Melissa how are you doing today
Awesome 😎👍 explore love those old houses the old doors and original hardwood beautiful
I think you are nutty getting into that ice cold water ... but then you go into
Abandon houses so you love adventure and a little bit scary 😦 Always nice to watch your adventures !
That porch upstairs so beautiful in its day!❤
Hello Vicki how are you doing today
Just love your accent and how respectfully you describe your tours of these abandoned houses! I truly enjoy watching! 😊
I have really enjoyed your travels and narratives. What I have learned from this, however, is to make my connections while I am still alive. I maintain my relationships with my children, and I have them come visit me. I’ve also gone out of my way to have them take antiques and memorabilia from their father and our historical family. Better from a warm, and then a cold one! Thank you for your respect on behalf of people who no longer have a voice.
We love you too!! Thank you...from USA
My pandemic idol.. i found your channel in time of pandemic.. i really love your voice and the way you respect the houses that you explore.. God bless you and take care.. from the philippines.
Awesome tour. Thanks for taking me along. The decay is beautiful. Keep up the great work.
Hello Cinde how are you doing today
@@stevenanthony199 doing well. Spending quality time with my grand babies. You?
@@cinderhella3909 That's okay I'm doing good so where are you from? I'm from Dallas Texas
Lesley, all three are famous actors: Henri Fonda, Bob Hope and Tyrone Power. Nice video, the ineffable sound of your voice is out of this world. Thanks a lot!
Beautiful decoration the walls have. I think.it was to hard and sad to live alone during so many years
U make a simple americañ home sound as wonderful as a French mañior!!!
Wonderfully done as always Leslie!
Those were acoustic ceiling tiles not roof shingles, they were a cheap way to make a ceiling look new and cut down on noise ❤
Hello!!! I am impressed looking at everything what this house still keeps
The wooden ceiling completely damaged and falling down
I love how you tell your stories with such a lovely deep caring voice thanks for sharing
You guys do a great job
Wonderful documentation on this house! Great job!
Beautiful house with a very sad story. I really liked the room where Baby's crib was, everything that was a family has remained and now nothing more, thanks for those incredible shots and approaches to your videos. Greetings from El Salvador, great job 👏👏 👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing today
You are always so respectful of everything. That is nice. Many Amercan homes have upright pianos because they take up less room. I enjoy your tours whether they are old castles or in America. I agree it is so sad the things that are left behind. I am an avid reader so am always dismayed by abandoned books. So much history lost. I am also into family history so pictures are so important. So many memories abandoned and lost. Thank you for your videos. Stay well and safe. From Tennessee
Uau! Que casa linda e cheia de coisa, vidas e histórias, é realmente nostálgico.
Parabéns Leslie!
Amo seu trabalho e seu respeito por essas pessoas que já se foram.
Bjsss!
I'm sorry can i say I thoroughly enjoyed your intro to this house video! Giving the pool the respect it deserves with the beautiful landscape behind you! You ate so brave to swi. In the ice cold! Loved it❤😊
Hello Vicki how are you doing today
So amazing that her family didn’t save those lovely antiques….and sad
Hello Leslie, you made it to my home state! I think you may have been in North Alabama for this one. The cushion attached to the sewing machine was to hold straight pins. The heart was what was left of a family arrangement for a funeral, most likely her husband's funeral. Did you look in backyard to see if she was really buried there? So sad her children abandoned her. As always a great explore!
Hello Teresa how are you doing today
Thank you, Lesley, I always love watching your videos! This was a fascinating place to journey through with you. Thank you so much!
I'm guessing that this house was passed down to her and her husband. All the old beds and little antiques, seem to have been a part of this home for a long time.
Leslie, you are so wonderful to watch and your voice is enchanting.
BTW, the choir you pronounce chore, it is pronounced Kwi-Er. English is a strange language.
I think maybe her last remaining years she stayed to that 1 room, her bed, her TV, phone, rocker, everything she’d need for daily living, especially with the kitchen right there too
As usual an awesome video exploration Leslie! About the rocker you commented on, that is an Eastlake style, walnut platform rocker. I have two of them sitting in my living room right now. The one you found is missing both the arm rests. I believe the fabric to be original to the piece. I so very much enjoy your videos. I am also so happy to see when Danny is with you.
thank you guys, marvelous vid
Thanks Leslie for all the wonderful video of abandoned. Stay safe out there. Best wishes from PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭
That vacuum was from the 70s. I bet it's an electrolux. My mother had one when I was a kid and they worked way better than anything we have today. That electrolux lasted for so many years. I was already married and with my first son when I finally convinced my mother to get rid of it and replace it with a lighter model (it STILL worked!).
Love the pianos. I enjoyed a lot seeing your video. Very interesting again thank you for sharing😊 till the next adventure
Wow ur in good shape!! Another awesome exploration
This home appears to me that the family has already removed anything of value. With so many pianos and an organ I wonder if she may have been the pianist/organist for her church. Just a thought. Good video as always Lesly!
If I'm not mistaken, that was a Ford Fairmont, or the Mercury version of it. This house has a cool design and could be restoreable and I would love to try.
Hello Leslie. Another beautiful exploration. The house is full of antique furniture and I really liked the vacuum cleaner. Very sad for the lady who breathed her last in the couch. Thank u Leslie do take care of yourself.
Even though all the furniture is still in the house, it appears her chikdren or grandchildren did remove all personal items, such as letters and photos. Leslie found no personal photos on walls or in albums or anything. And some else mentioned no china so seems that was wrapped and taken. And it was mentioned the 1982 calendar could be a personal one of her grandkids maybe. And all people have their own personal taste in furniture and have their own things. I know my kids do. When therir dad died they had to foreclose on his house and we had no time to get everything out. Something like that could have happened here. My kids already had their own homes and jobs that were 40 minutes or more from him. Just trying to say no one knows the circumstances. But it is a shame the couldn't remove and sell some of that furniture.
Hello Patricia how are you doing today
Thank you! Somebody with some sense. Far too many speculate, trying to say her family didn't care. Nobody knows and I highly doubt that. We don't know any of the circumstances of it.
Hi Lesley & Danny, 😉 A Abandoned House in Alabama!! 🏠 ( I have never been to that state )
As for You taking a Swim 🏊♂at the Swimming Pool at your Hotel with Cold Water, 🥶Some Places have Heated Water!!
This is Very Sad, that the 3 Adult Children Had No Respect to Not Come See Their Mother, & After to Not Take the Belongings or
At Least Sell It!! As for the Piano at 22.37 the 3 Men Pictured on it Was All Actors!!
23.51 S & H Stamps...the More you bought at the A & P Grocery Store, the More Stamps You Got to Buy Things at the Store!!
Wow So Many Antiques of Her Belongings, I Wish Someone Would Save It!!☹
Have a Safe Trip Going to Tennessee & Have a Wonderful Evening & Next Week!! ❤😎 Love Barb from Central Illinois USA💖
Hello Barb how are you doing today
It is so sad to see how in our country abandonment by our children seems to be a permanent theme, very unlike stories I've read and watched over the years of other parts of the world! Guess that's the downside to being born in raised in a country that has traditionally had to lead the Free World, sadly, this too has changed a LOT ❤😊THANKS AGAIN LESLEY AND DANNY
Thank you Leslie for another wonderful video!!!!
Hello Lisa how are you doing today
Thank you 😊
Beautiful home❤ I love the upstairs balcony and the down stairs porch. It would be perfect to sit on with a rocker and watch the days go by. What memories this home has. If only they could talk. I wish the family would get those antique furniture. They are wonderful ❤️
Hello how are you doing today
I grew up with one of those vacuums, they didn’t work that well and that’s what I told my mother trying to tell her to get a new one. 😂
Dude you’re so dramatic! I’m here for it
Yes Leslie those pictures of the two men Bob Hope and Henry Fonda were actors from years and years ago . Such a wonderful documentary…Thank You ❤
Thanks that house was awesome
So many memories still there
I think it was a nice house with comfort.
I’m so happy that you came to the USA to film
It is not right to automatically judge children who are now elderly people, themselves. We do not know what happened. For all we know, their mother could have kicked them out and refused to have anything to do with them because they married people she did not like. She may have chosen to be alone and put it in her will that she be buried on her family property that her father bought and built the house on; that way it could not be sold, since it has gravesite. Somebody must have cared for her; otherwise you would be looking at her skeleton still sitting in the chair she supposedly died in. I think it more likely that she went to a nursing home in 1992, per her calendar, and her grandchildren have made use of the property.
Please don't be rude to these kids!!!!!
Exactly!!!
The first photo with bob hope and henry fonda on the piano is Tyrone Power :)
What an incredibly sad story😢. Her family sounds a bit uncaring. It’s wonderful to have something anything that belonged to a loved one. Thank you for doing this video Lesley and welcome to America ❤
We do not really know what happened. Everything is just conjecture.
Aw bless you getting in that cold pool 🏊♀️ lovely explore 🌹
مرحبا يا ليزلي
مازلت بانتظار أن تفعل الترجمة لمتابعة هذه الحلقة التي تبدو شيقة كالعادة
Love watching your videos. 📷
Pure Awesomely Cold out There
hallo lesley . je moet een warm water kruik mee nemen voor in het zwembad . wel weer een mooi filmpje en djaylisa vond het raar dat jij bij mij op de pc was . ze zei hoe kan dat vake ???? 👍👍👍
Haha had ik daar maar aan gedacht het was heel erg koud 🥶 en dat is magie 😇😉
Leslie honey, hello from a 70 year old grandma. The piano ,s that. Are able to be pushed against the wall are called upright pianos. Grand pianos are larger and round shaped at the back. They take up a whole room. Love your show!!!! You bring back lovely memories from my years gone by!!!! Be careful and God bless!! Hello from Missouri usa.
That rocking chair was called a platform rocker.
S and H stamps from Hens and Kelly's. Remember the booklet very well.
Welcome to Alabama !
Nice explore here.
Time stamp 22:02 is what we call an upright grand piano
Как грустно смотреть на прошлое, но очень интересно!!) У Вас всегда интересные истории.Лесли, Вы такой смелый, спортивный!) Не боитесь ледяной воды!)) Очарована Вами)❤❤❤❤❤
hy Leslie Love your videos .
Did it bother anyone else that he didn’t replace that cover on that beautiful sewing machine?
Great!
Abusuley fantastic house with lots of lovely furniture and the big heart was probably from the lady's funeral and the flower reefs so sad to see them left behind.
Thanks guys....
She may have moved to nursing home after surgery. Lived for a few more years and family went into home 2000.
Babies love rocking chairs. They are soothing to Americans. Awesome tour.
Hello Sandra how are you doing today
