We Explored an ABANDONED Horror Movie Mansion | House of the Witch

- The Meadowcrest Mansion. An 8000 sqft Neo-Georgian home that was built in 1929 by Joseph McKee and John Edward as part of a 200+ acre farm called Hamburg Place that was owned by their father John E Madden. In 1932 Joseph passed away and left the mansion to his wife and children. In the 1960s I-75 was built which split the property in half. After Joseph’s wife passed away the mansion stayed in the family but sat abandoned for years. In 2017 the mansion was used in a horror filmed called “house of the witch” where a group of kids investigate a haunted mansion that had been abandoned for years. Today the mansion is being demolished for new development. So let’s take a look at what’s left before this beautiful home is gone forever.

This is my hometown! I’ve driven by that house a thousand times and always wanted to explore it. I loved the movie so I could see what it looked like inside. As much as I loved this video it’s painful to see the house look so terrible and of course knowing it will be torn down soon. Thanks for exploring it one last time!
Same for me, I'd always drive by it anytime I wanted to go to Freddy's, which is very often.
Hey same here guys 🙋🏽
Me too! I drove by it earlier tonight to get to culvers, it’s almost entirely gone. i hate to see it go, my mom and i have always loved this house everytime we go to lexington we look at it.
I love these old homes, i wish they all could be saved.
I just heard voices in this house that wasn't yours.
I find abandon homes like this so sad. Somebody worked their whole life to build and afford that. It could be a mansion like this, or a modest home on farm or in a city. When they pass, the people that inherit it let it fall into decay, or sell it and move on. They did nothing to earn what they inherited so it has no value to them.
👍👍👍👍 true
It's horrible to see such beauty demolished. That would make for a wonderfulhome for many people maybe women or men with children that r homeless or suffering domestic problems
Is what happens when ya are raised in privileged life like that or born into wealth, those types don't understand the value of hard work or let alone never really had experience with it and tend to not appreciate the little things.
This makes me so sick. I hate that it's being torn down. History is disappearing 😕 😪 everyday. Thanks for taking us along. Thank God you could video it before it was all gone.
It's always so sad for me to see a beautiful home or building, with so much history and so many stories, being demolished.
Thank you for giving us a last peek!
Me and my granddaughter would be in bottle heaven in here .
It hurt my heart driving past this home and not seeing it there anymore. It was beautiful. There was hardly nothing around it, so it stood so grand out there by itself!
I miss it every time I drive by that way. It just feels so empty and erased. So very sad. It should have been saved.
The dryer worked by hanging bedding or clothing on the rods, then placing hot coals in the trays under the drawers , then sliding shut it was mostly for bedding though. I assume they had servants taking care of such a large household because these types of dryers are seen in homes like this occasionally. I hope this will be preserved, because it’s such an interesting part of house managing history.
It must have been a stunningly beautiful mansion in the early days. It looks more modern to me than a house that was built back in 1929. Do you know how long it's been abandoned? Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for tour of such a beautiful house, well was. Horrid that those greedy people destroy such beauty ...
What a beautiful old mansion. So sad to see all of the old beauty's being tore down just for modern development. I would think the 3rd floor would have been maid quarters. The bathrooms were very basic. Thanks for the tour! Bev
Looking so forward to this Big Bankz.!! My mom has been in the hospital for 5 weeks recovering from COVID. She was vaxxed and boosted but has been very sick. Please send a prayer up for her🙏. As always safe travels and explorations. God Bless!
Your mother will be in my prayers! I hope that she starts to feel better soon and be back home!
@@BigBankz Thank you ..I enjoy your videos because you preface then with Bible verses, which seem to always speak to what's happening in my life. Bless you and your wife/family. I've watched your channel from the beginning and I know you have much success in your future. Take care🙏
Wow!!! What a house. I'm glad someone is trying to salvage stuff. I'd hate to think that all those cedar closets would be destroyed. It's so big you'd almost expect it to be a hotel. Thank you for the adventure.
So glad you didn't hurt yourself it's so sad to see such beauty being taken away history will be gone forever thanks for sharing this beautiful home and taking us along with you guys stay safe!
I must say you always pick out interesting videos i can tell that mansion was once a beautiful place thanks for sharing.
This was a Great Walk thru!! Thank You for doing this before it was gone forever!! Your the Best BIGBANKZ 💚💜🦋🌻
Thanks for sharing!! Always wanted to see the inside. It’s beautiful! All the detail is stunning and is sad it’s gone.
You are a great advocate for saving these homes. I wish more could be done to save each one. Each one is as precious as the day it was built and for whom it was built for. Today's houses cannot compare or compete, or the craftsmanship be affordable or even available in some instances. It's such a shame to lose these old, and once very grande beauties :(
Whatever they build on this site won't begin to compare to this mansion! I really enjoyed seeing all the winding stairs! There is nothing that I like more!! When the camera is positioned just right, it's like I am walking up them myself. You made my day!
Each mansion you show has a sad story, and reminds us how short our life is, just a second in universe time. All we are is dust in the wind and nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
This is such a beautiful home ,
I can’t believe that anyone would tear it down,
so many amazing old homes are being destroyed.
House of the witch was a good movie ~ I loved this mansion.
Loved the history intro. That mansion looks like it was so amazing in it's day. Love the drone footage. Hey, BB, When you stepped in the icy water I immediately worried about frostbite. I was thinking that if you have a plastic bag in your backpack along with dry socks then you could put the dry sock on, then the plastic as a barrier between your sock & wet shoe. Thanks for all you do & again Congrats on 150K! Now 152K
This home is amazing!!! It's so sad it's gonna be torn down. I've never seen so many cedar closets before. And that dryer was so cool. I'm definitely gonna watch the movie either tonight or tomorrow. Thank u for another great video!! Stay safe. P.S. u can show the staircase over and over its still just as beautiful as the first time u showed it
I feel so bad for you. That looked like a long, cold, miserable walk to the house! With a wet, frozen foot as well. Thank you for bringing this house into our homes!
Thank you so much for this tour. What a beautiful home and such a shame it’s being torn down. This home just goes to show how rich this family was back in the day. That stair case was absolutely beautiful and that walk-in closet upstairs I noticed was lined in cedar planking that you failed to mention. Thanks again for this video tour.
I was going to say that too, those beautiful cedar lined closets were a fortune just themselves. Sad to see something so nice destroyed.
My heart stopped when your foot went through the ice. Glad you're ok; stay safe out there!
I was in so much shock haha
Metoo!
Grew up down the road from here. Always wanted to see inside it. Thanks for doing this- helps in letting us say goodbye. Drove by yesterday and it is sadly gone forever. Heartbreaking 💔
This was such a grand home. How could they tear it down? The bedrooms are huge and huge walk-in closets. Can you imagine back in its heyday with this would’ve looked like? The spiral staircase is just magnificent. I’m so glad that you were able to at least document it. I keep feeling like the house has feelings looking out and seeing what its future is going to be. Breaks my heart. 💜🤟🏻🍀😎🇺🇸
Loved seeing this beautiful house, would of loved to seen it like it was originally back in the old days. Glade your foot is okay, would never want to see you get hurt exploring these places. Great video, thank you for sharing. I live in Ohio, about two hours away from this place. ❤
Sad when people die, and the family is broken. Then everything is gone forever, thank you for sharing.
Really grand Thank you so much for all your time and for sharing☺
Awesome video bro! Even powering through the soaking wet foot you got through! Much respect!
I love that green bathroom, with the sunken bath, it's beautiful 🧜🏾♀️ ❣️
Have you changed your socks, yet?
You're making me feel cold ❄ x
Wow so huge ! Such ashame it's being demolished at only a century old. Good to see everything getting salvaged though, usually stuff just gets destroyed as nature takes back or vandalism. Nice video 👍
Thank you for posting the video, always wondered what it looked like inside. Great video. I always liked seeing this house when I an in the area.
currently binge watching!! this account is AMAZINF
Thank youuuu! New video drops tomorrow!
GORGEOUS!! Ethan Minnie would love to have a shot at this staircase!! Beautiful history.
What is truly important is that the house is/was built to last. Homes nowadays and if left abandoned would mold up and get destroyed quickly.
Love watching BigBanz videos. He tells interesting stories about the history of the abandoned mansions he explores.
That mansion has (had) huge potential. Your right why would they tear down a beautiful structure with amazing history 😪
Sad that they would tear that down it's historic a historic property shame on them
Fascinating exploration! Awesome job on this video!
💜💜💜 What a grand house. Shame it's being demolished.
Thanks for visiting us in KY!! I wondered if you had ever explored KY! I wasn't aware of this place, thanks again! Hope you visit n highlight more in my state.
That was such a cool place. So sad it's being torn down. Awesome video 😀
HOW can all these beautiful historic homes be just razed?! So sad….!!!
So sad to see such beauty torn down, but it does appear they're removing some things. Great video!
That place is massive!!!!! Ty for sharing
Such a beautiful house. Its so sad its being torn down. New subscriber,looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Lexington has been my home many years and driven past this for years. It is always been off the road and just pretty cool as a landmark. Sad to see it demolished. Just the stories that can be told of this place!!! Wow!!!
Been waiting on this. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this story. Very sad! The dryer in the basement was used to dry tablecloths and bed sheets. It was connected to the hydronic heating system. Many old fine homes still have them.
Whoa!!! House of the witch! Cool!!!
I live in Lexington and drive by at almost everyday, sadly it is gone now but it was such a beautiful home
I can't wait to watch this❤️✨
Wow awesome that was a beautiful house sad can’t be restored . The stories it holds .
Thank you for sharing this video.
It’s hard to imagine living in such a massive home such as this.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THIS MANSION. AND ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK. I AM GLAD YOU ARE DOING ALRIGHT AFTER YOUR FOOT WENT THROUGH THAY ICE. THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN A SOAKED WET FOOT. I HAVE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE MORE THAN ONCE MYSELF. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND STAY SAFE. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.
I'm so excited!!
Good explore a bit creepy. Feeling all kinds of vibes. So sad it is being destroyed. Thx 4 sharing
My parents lived right down the road from the Madden's. It is always so sad to see these old grand homes going to waste. The Interstate wasn't close enough that this home couldn't have been saved but the land had been sold for shopping centers. Actually a very saavy business move on Anita Madden's part, she sold the land that is now Hamburg Shopping Centre' (huge) but had in the agreement that the buildings in the Centre' were leased to her for X number of years so her estate will continue to earn money off of all the businesses there. Also the Maddens are quite famous for their Kentucky Derby Eve parties, many well known politicians and celebrities came to the parties which were very very posh. Quite a history in that old house. Thanks for the video.
That's not the house where the parties were thrown is it? Ruth McKee lived there til her death and then it sat vacant from what I've read.
@@HavokJD No, I was just commenting about their notoriety for their parties, although on the same farm, not the same house.
So sad to see these homes demolished so glad you filmed this before being torn down
I seen that movie and wondered if the house was a real place, great too see it was. Beautiful place
Fantastic share thank you
All those cedar lined closets. Wow!
Sad end to a beautiful mansion. And another piece of history is demolished ...thank you for this vid....
Seen that movie. Great video as always!
Looking forward to watching 😍
This is my hometown! I'm so sad they are tearing it down.
Also--- you should check out Elmwood in Richmond KY. I had the privilege of touring it when I was in college at EKU, it is incredible.
All of those closets are cedar wood lined to prevent moths! Very cool old house. Hate that it’s being demolished.
Such a beautiful place. I’m sad to hear that it will be torn down.
I hate to see this place go, have driven past it all my life, always wanted to see inside. Great video. Thanks
Thank You For Sharing Your Amazing And Wonderful Video
I LOVED the bathroom! It would have gone beautifully with my house that burned down in 2014 :((( The kitchen was "cow" themed (as a tribute to my hometown of Calgary, AB Canada aka Cowtown - for the yearly Stampede there every July) the kitchen was pink/white/black with a theme worded "LIFE: the black, the white and the Udder" lol mounted in large words atop the large kitchen space, yep, these ppl decorated in my kinda theme indeed, and although I am most grateful to have a home, built in 2014 after the fire, it has zero character compared to my other home. Character homes should be preservered at all costs, whenever possible.
You guys have guts going in a place like that, it still looks like a horror mansion 😳
Glad y’all made it out ok!!
Wow what a beautiful grand home so sad to see this go 😍
Wonder if the fluorescent lights were put up along that ceiling for when they made the movie! Love the video!
Bro I love this already
Wow this is scary I had dreams about this house as a child very scary ones that someone was trying to kill me and I was running for my life through that home and it's exactly the way it was in my dream except it was newer and nicer in my dream
Nice house, the grand staircase is awesome but that green and pink bathroom is the stuff nightmares are made of, just hideous. It's so sad that it's being torn down.
Such a beautiful house. It’s so so big, omg it’s very sad that they are demolition this place. 😢 such potential for buyers who can afford to restore
Love that large attic space. 😀
You do a awesome job
Ky has many beautiful mansions , ive always wanted one but never been able to equire one, Im glad to see inside this one
Wow it’s beautiful place!
Oooochhhh!!! Be careful! I remember this movie. That door was frightening. Still looks as scary
Cool explore!
Beautiful staircase, simple but she’s a beauty 💕
I love all the Cedar closets.
watched and loved the movie, so sad something so beautiful and with so much history is getting torn down
The Art Deco bathrooms are to die for!
beautiful house I liked the house for it's simplicity and grandness. What a same!!! thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
@@BigBankz I enjoy all of your videos keep up the great work!!!!
Beautiful.
Beautiful home. Sad it's gone now.
This hurts my heart , all for new development . This house would have outlasted anything built today
I love your videos.
Wow cool
It would be awesome to save that house! It’s beautiful
I just hate when places like this are torn down for something that could go somewhere else. I’m sure there is someone out there that would love to have had this place and fixed it up. The stair case is BEAUTIFUL. We are destroying our history for something I feel we could use somewhere else. This is why our children don’t care anymore we are erasing history. That place just has me in 😲😊
awww i’m sorry u need to be super careful, the snow hides a lot of dangers, That pink porcelain needs its own stick of dynamite, otherwise awesome find, it’s a shame to destroy it , it has cedar closets & everything really nice
I drive past this house every week. Ive always been so mesmerized by it, it’s truly beautiful. I hate to see them tearing it down. They are building a new hospital right next to it.
With hospital money they COULD HAVE incorporated THIS into
It’s design and used it in some way as part of it
@@brucebeamon5460 I agree :(
this is so cool
