I've been to ghost towns also. But never have I seen one so fully stocked. Apothecary, canned foods, tools, carriages and saloons that look like they may re-open tomorrow. I want to go there.
My mom actually went to Bodie and was able to find a picture of her Great Grandpa I was so excited to see this video so I could see what my mom got to see
Many people are complaining about exploring this "shit" place but I totally disagree.. I think this place looks so amazing! I can only imagine what it was like to live in that place. Good video! :)
This is an amazing video of a place practically frozen in time. For those of you complaining this is a bad video, you clearly don't have appreciation for history, or urban exploring in its truest sense, for that matter. I'm sure there are some fake, staged "ghost" videos for those of you who like that sort of thing. Thank you, Josh. This is a great video.
This is a great video, but why are videos of this kind always referred to as urban explorations when in fact almost all of them take place in a rural area?
Bodie hasn't actually been untouched for 100 years. The last residents of the town were back in the 1940's when around 90 people still lived there, compare that to the nearly 3,000 who lived there in 1880 and you can see that there was definitely a decline over the decades. By 1950 the town was empty.
This is probably one of my favourite ghost towns. It's so beautiful. And it goes to show that if you take care of something, it'll last a very long time.
I've been to Bodie twice and I've got to see the entire time I was there you get this very odd eerie feeling, especially when looking inside buildings. Of course, the ghost town is haunted, but in broad daylight you just get this really odd feeling in your chest like you're being watched. Bodie is a really cool place to visit and I feel like everyone should go there at some point if they like historical landmarks.
When I was a kid we still used well water, sometimes from a bucket and sometimes from a pump/faucet. In some places, outhouses were still used, too. We had indoor plumbing but sometimes it was bad/weak. At some point, something happened and the well water became contaminated. Eventually, the city of Dallas, TX put in the sewer, water, etc. for my little town of only a few hundred.
This was amazing. You have an old soul...just like my daughter and I. I always say I would have loved living back in these times. So great. Thanks again. ~Laura ~
Me too. Nah I don’t think it’s just boredom and I don’t think it’s our past life although I respect your ideas. I have always found history soooooo interesting and get the same feeling/connection. If I only had the money to travel the us and see it’s history 💔💔💔 well after the zombie apocalypse is over 🤦🏼♀️
I think it's just because it was a place where people once lived and did a lot of the things we still do, and now not even their descendants are living there anymore. Some things are only haunted by memories.
The windows are not new. All of the buildings were once painted. It looks like the windows were repainted. Rather than restoring, they have chosen to preserve the town in this state of deterioration. They keep up the roofs, and spray the exterior with chemicals to protect from the elements.
+Eileen Mosley the glass don't melt it just cause it was the 1500-1900 and there were no technical stuff for the glass it was handput and people were just bad at it
We have a glass manufacturer in Germany that makes the old style windows for us so we can use it for replacement. I know because I work there and I talked to Josh and John. By "keeping the roofs" we replace the shingles, and we replace the windows.
The people during that time would never have thought that 100 years down the line, their home, work, and school would be a tourist destination, and flying machines that took moving pictures would be scaling over it...awesome video!
My parents , brother, sister and I visited Bodie in 1975. It was not as well maintained back then. Very cool place. I could almost hear the old souls voices in the wind. My sister found an old Presidential elections pin under the chapel stairs with James Buchanan's name on it and the year 1856. She gave it to the museum curator on site. I'll never forget that place. Thanks for the trip back!!! :-D ♥♥
The last inhabitants left in the 1950’s and some building still have electricity. For example, the Rangers quarters and the general store he’s looking into at 6:00 has lightbulbs that stay dimly lit hanging from the ceilings. The town itself was also known as one of the deadliest towns in the west, where one of the wealthiest men in town at a time was the coffin maker, whos house and gallery still stand.
I absolutely love your abandoned adventures & the risks you take. I have learned so much history about the world just from your amazing videos! I can't believe how many places are abandoned all over the world! Thank you so much Josh for all you do!
Dude, you have to go to Hoia Baciu forst in Romania :D. They say that there is a ghost forest and it has very paranormal activity and alien sightings and all of that.
The carriage at 7:20 is just like one of the carriages we drive at home (Scotland). It is just amazing to see one from back in those times still preserved. There arent many left around the world. They now cost a fortune, it took us ages to get our hands on one!!. Love your videos and all of the other Exploring with crews' videos :-D
It would be so great if developers would make a game or a simulation of the town in its booming years! A simulation game that you can play with a Oculus Rift perhaps. So you can go back in time and see the town with its inhabitants in 3D! If i was a developer, i would make this town come back to life again, wow!
It’s good to see your appreciation for the beauty of keeping these things exactly as they were left so long ago, untouched. And also the way you try to put into words the beauty of how it has naturally been slowly touched by the weather and elements over the years. I also like to try to mentally place myself in these places as if I were rewinding the calendar and imagining it as if I were there originally
Wow! Your video is awesome! Very clear picture even at full screen. The video really takes you to Bodie. Most of all , I loved your enthusiasm! It reminded me of Huell Howser, especially his Death Valley episode.Loved this video!
I when there 2 years ago and wow- it's amazing and beautiful! I'd love to go back there and get more videos! Also I've seen a lot of paranormal activity in Bodie, it was cool!
Josh I appreciate your videos. What’s weird is how many people have a problem with your vocabulary and how you pronounce words. Who gives a shit. Keep exploring and speaking the way you do. Thx my brother.
I loveeeee seeing abandoned untouched buildings w/stuffs in it! Its vintage and cool how things looked like back in the day! Thanks for sharing, Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🤙🤙
I've seen photos of this place, but never realized it was so big, the drone shots helped put it into perspective. Seems like it would be a wonderful relaxing trip. It's one of my dreams to go here... it's even more of a priority now. Great video as usual! Thank you! :)
LOve the store, the big barrels for flour and pickles. Oh I could just see myself in those days walking to the store and church. Oh the barn wood to have it and have a piece of history. I love it. the kids in class were learning the mining process which was neat.
Hey Josh! Been a subscriber for awhile now. Had an article come up on FaceBook that mentioned that you had been here so I had to come watch this one! Article, story is " People Can Stay In This Ghost Town Free of Charge, But There's One Catch" First talking about Garnet, Montana then Bodie
A great video..thanks for sharing it. I love your channel, I subbed long time ago, I get to see things & places I'd never get to go see in person. You're so nice & respectful of places you explore.
The town of bodie is so haunted that if you steal something from one of the buildings or even just take a small memento to remember your trip you will be plagued by the bodies curse until you return the item you took. The lady that works at the post office in the next town over (since bodie itself doesn't have a postal address any longer) has testified to the fact that she gets tens of letters and packages every year from people in other states and countries that are mailing back the items they had pocketed since their vacation there along with a letter explaining all the horrible luck that had befallen them since they had taken the items from the town, and would the post Lady kindly return the item to bodie for them. One such story is a man that drove his pickup truck into bodie and took an old piano from one of the houses (back in the early 1990s when the town wasn't an attraction and before security was ever there) and within 5 months his wife left him, his son was killed in a swimming accident, he lost his job and his entire pension and his father came down with a sudden deathly case of cancer and had only months to live. Very sad. The bodie curse lives on.
the.one.for.him.now Thanks for the creepy tale. Too bad we have buzzkills in the comments who love to point out the obvious to try and appear smart instead of just appreciating a story for what it is - a story.
Great to see bodie threw your lens, just visited this amazing town with my wife, click my face to check the video and what Bodie looks like in 2019. Thanks for sharing
cindy a the gold ended up running out and things that weren’t personal belongings such as family pictures, clothes, were takin but the rest was to expensive to take so they left everything else, it’s why furniture and cooking pans and pots were all left😝 learned this today and I actually sound like I have smarticle particles 😂
Yes, the gold dried up. But also a big fire in the 1940s took 1/3 of the town. The day after they got the fire out, near everyone left with just their valuables and what ever would fit in a suitcase in a car. And they just left, to never return. That’s why the houses and buildings still have all the stuff, and in many of them you can tell by how stuff is in the homes, people literally jumped up and left.
I love this. Old friend was park ranger here. I slept in old house one night & literally saw a ghost. Truth. Head Park Rangers wife had me for breakfast next morn to know what I saw. She told me all the rangers that live in Bodie (about 1975) saw ghosts & even heard ghosts talking in the mine which at that time was closed off to public. She also stated that the school bell would ring on its own... in the morn when school began or the afternoon when school out. Only rangers were allowed in & worked to stabilized both mine & homes..
I've been to Bodie. It's a really cool ghost town and is kept in a state of arrested deterioration by the park service just so people can come and explore the town. It's all in it's original state aside from the few homes which have been restored for the park employees to live in. Bodie itself is a really cool mining town which played a big part in developing modern mining practices and technology. Fun Fact, it was the first towns to recieve electricity from a dam a few miles away and the power plant is still in the town, though not featured in this video. It was the first real field test for transferring electrical power over power lines.
Who the fuck calls themselves faze rug, the whole RUclips prank/gaming or whatever community if so full of drama it's so gay I can barely watch anything on YT anymore
That was so cool! And thank you for always starting off with the history of the place, that's so important! So many people do video's like this and the places are so cool, but with no history of the location I have no idea what I'm even looking at and it ruins the whole thing. And your drone cams rock!!
I have had water drawn from a well like the one here, in a bucket. The water tastes like nothing else! It is always ice cold and tastes wonderful. There was always a metal dipper to dip the water from the bucket into your cup. Or you brought your own bucket to pour the water in and your bucket had a metal dipper, also, that had a flat hook at the end so it would hang on the side of the bucket. My grandfather had a well like this on his farm when I was growing up. He had no running water. The water would stay very cold in a metal bucket in the shade on the back porch.
Love the history, love the before and after pictures when you can get them, Maybe could have more up close pics.. but otherwise, GReat Job Josh! Keep em comin!
I don't know how can you hate Josh just because he is not exploring haunted shits all the time. Like ffs, this ghost town looks insane dude, i always like to imagine how it was back then.
It's fascinating for me to look at those old structures and think about who slept or sat there, or who walked through those buildings and what their lives were like.
Thanks for sharing, Josh 😊 I'm from Cali, and I've never been to Bodie! Looks like I'll go now though 👍🏻 I really want to see those cosmetic/perfume bottle-looking items in the general store window! Haha. I want to taste that coffee too! Lol. You think like me sometimes.....enjoyable, for sure👣👣
4:19 Josh: so they block off the other one and not this one? Me: probably because they thought no one would be dumb enough to go in. Except josh. And me.
I really liked this video! Bodie reminds me of Fayette which is another ghost town in Michigan! They've kinda done the same thing with Fayette. Preserved it the way they did with Bodie. and you can go into the buildings. I havent been there in a long time. But its a pretty neat place to visit if you get the chance!
Thank you Josh. To see some thing old like this town is great. This town was bombing 100 years ago. Look and see what has been envented or improved sense then. Just look at the drone sit. put more house and stores in between the standing house and stores and you have a big city in the middle of no where. I love what you are doing. Chirp
Hey Josh, since you're in California, you should go north up to Truckee and hick where the transcontinental railroad used to be. There's an area you can hike in a tunnel for over a mile. I want to take that hike but since we shouldn't hike alone I haven't.

When I was a kid we still used well water, sometimes from a bucket and sometimes from a pump/faucet. In some places, outhouses were still used, too. We had indoor plumbing but sometimes it was bad/weak. At some point, something happened and the well water became contaminated. Eventually, the city of Dallas, TX put in the sewer, water, etc. for my little town of only a few hundred.

Who the fuck calls themselves faze rug, the whole RUclips prank/gaming or whatever community if so full of drama it's so gay I can barely watch anything on YT anymore
It was so funny to hear you talk about how old things were.....the sewing machine I use all the time is older than the one you were looking at.
8:02 Warning to headphone users 😂😂
That was so cool! And thank you for always starting off with the history of the place, that's so important! So many people do video's like this and the places are so cool, but with no history of the location I have no idea what I'm even looking at and it ruins the whole thing. And your drone cams rock!!
I've been there. isn't it called Bodie? :p cool place!
lucky :(
it is lol its in the title
I've been too
+Fluffy Panda Plays there was originally the typo "brodie"
I have had water drawn from a well like the one here, in a bucket. The water tastes like nothing else! It is always ice cold and tastes wonderful. There was always a metal dipper to dip the water from the bucket into your cup. Or you brought your own bucket to pour the water in and your bucket had a metal dipper, also, that had a flat hook at the end so it would hang on the side of the bucket. My grandfather had a well like this on his farm when I was growing up. He had no running water. The water would stay very cold in a metal bucket in the shade on the back porch.
amazing
I love Bodie ! So glad you did this video Josh. Yay!
JOSH OMG I think a spirit said your name at 8:57 Please reply if you think it too!
at 8:59 but i gave you some extra seconds so you can hear how it sounds before that weird voice
I think it was just the camera against the window..
Nedreow i heard it too
It's the kind of name that can be made pretty easily by accident. All soft and scuffy noises. I wouldn't read too much into what you heard.
I love it josh when you put the drone up,you get to see some wonderful views
Josh you need to clean your camera lens
Love the history, love the before and after pictures when you can get them, Maybe could have more up close pics.. but otherwise, GReat Job Josh! Keep em comin!
1:16 what?
I don't know how can you hate Josh just because he is not exploring haunted shits all the time. Like ffs, this ghost town looks insane dude, i always like to imagine how it was back then.
I was there about 30 years ago when I was camping at death valley. The place was only accessible by a dirt and gravel road in good weather
This is really cool Josjh. Thanks for making these videos and please keep up the great work!!!!!
they actually filmed Back to the future , in that place
What a fantastic bit of of history . This was amazing . Thanks
"6-3=2"
It equals 3 not 2
I know.. the chalk board said "6-3=2" in the school
Lol
it was probably 6÷3=2
Omg I just commented that lol
Hey Josh! I've been loving your videos! They are awesome! Keep up the good work! :)
wheres the bodie
It's the town name
*body and there isn't one its called Bodie
North of Mammoth California.
It's fascinating for me to look at those old structures and think about who slept or sat there, or who walked through those buildings and what their lives were like.
That globe!! There's Greta's climate change proof!! LOL.
Thanks for sharing, Josh 😊 I'm from Cali, and I've never been to Bodie! Looks like I'll go now though 👍🏻 I really want to see those cosmetic/perfume bottle-looking items in the general store window! Haha. I want to taste that coffee too! Lol. You think like me sometimes.....enjoyable, for sure👣👣
4:19
Josh: so they block off the other one and not this one?
Me: probably because they thought no one would be dumb enough to go in. Except josh. And me.
I would love to thank you and your friends for taping all this so us to see as well :)
Dude the 🏰 castle's are so awesome. You are so lucky to be able to actually touch and be there. thank you
I really liked this video! Bodie reminds me of Fayette which is another ghost town in Michigan! They've kinda done the same thing with Fayette. Preserved it the way they did with Bodie. and you can go into the buildings. I havent been there in a long time. But its a pretty neat place to visit if you get the chance!
Thank you Josh. To see some thing old like this town is great. This town was bombing 100 years ago. Look and see what has been envented or improved sense then. Just look at the drone sit. put more house and stores in between the standing house and stores and you have a big city in the middle of no where. I love what you are doing. Chirp
Hey Josh, since you're in California, you should go north up to Truckee and hick where the transcontinental railroad used to be. There's an area you can hike in a tunnel for over a mile. I want to take that hike but since we shouldn't hike alone I haven't.
