      I have heard there's one other house but who knows. It's a big area with lots of swallowed up roads. They are kind of like the three reject houses. The first one had no wall, the second was far too crooked, and the last too bad a staircase for Goldilocks to get up at all. Totally agree lol.

    Love old buildings in the woods. My husband is a bit of a history buff about our county which has a long history with shifting roads and cemeteries that span hundreds of years. Those stone walls were fascinating. We used to find old dumps as kids and loved scrounging around in them. Nice job of research.

    Hello. Happy thanksgiving.
    I noticed that several of these old structures are dramatically leaning , and that most of the interior furnishings and cabinets are also leaning.
    Is thre a fault line, fracking or an old history of landslides in the area?

    • @DesertifyUrbex
      @DesertifyUrbex  3 года назад +1

      I think poor foundation choices. One is held up by poles on an eroding hill, the other I think is simply very old. They are the last houses in the area, so seemingly others learned to avoid it.

    Such a well-done video, especially the history. I do wish a little more was shown of the structures themselves. The door knobs were mentioned but the door knobs were never shown as well the date on the envelope. I also would’ve liked to hear the conversation between you two as that makes me feel more like I’m there with you. Overall, definitely one of the very best urban explorer vids I’ve seen!!
