Thank you.
Friends and I passed Morva on the huck that day. We had 2 officers encounter us 20 minutes later, and they took us to a cruiser till he was spotted again in town. I was 14. What a time..
My brother was also arrested for trying to sell his SS card, ID and wallet on ebay, Morvas parents donated all of his belongings to the YMCA in Bburg( old wades).
@@540GROW wow
My son and I live a few miles from the abandoned hotel. Always wanted to go inside.
@@540GROW it’s probably trashed now, but when I first went there it was untouched
I lived in West Virginia for 6 years. I got a job installing vinyl siding. I've seen a lot of WWa. I saw a lot of rot, decay, decline, death from opioids, just plain misery and moving on. I hated it.
The Craig Cemetery off Roanoke ST in Cburg has a cool vibe. If there are ghosts there, they’re chill. I think the Montgomery Museum is in charge of it, but not 100% sure
@@Steve-Duh-Rino I had to look that one up, hadn’t heard of it before
@@hoodinthewoods You ought to check it out. It’s one of the most interesting cemeteries in the area. Some of my Cburg ancestors are buried there. It was the cemetery for Hans Meadow. Much of the cemetery has been vandalized. Different people have attempted to restore it
Awesome! Sorry about my Canadian dollar 😫 It might after the rate of exchange buy you a coffee.
@@deborahmacdonald9319 thank you so much, hope you enjoyed your tour of Virginia
Hey, Jonathan - the name of that restaurant on the hill was The Red Carpet Inn. Love your videos!
@@WesFantastic I knew that was the hotels name, thought the restaurant was different. I have old pics of the hotel before it was so tore up. I’m glad you enjoy my videos, thankyou
How does hood in the woods not got nearly a million subs, his commentary is great presentation seems on par and accurate...seems like youtube picks and unfairly chooses who they let the algorithm run with. Cheers from the Glass City
@@jonathanfreedom1st I wasn’t always as good at making videos as I am now. Since I’ve built up a library of more quality videos I have been getting lots more views and subscribers
Again from the Matoaka history Video my family later moved to Roanoke, my familys tree goes back to 1690s Virginia. Cheers from Toledo
My Grandmother and grandfather are from Matoaka WV, my grandmother born in 1929 and grandfather in 1923. There names were Arnold C McElyea and Iris Elaine (Basham) "Maiden name" she is the daughter of a man named Arley Basham pastor of a church and jewelry store owner in Matoaka, grandma and grandpa left the town back in the 1950s for work to Florida then to Toledo Ohio where he got a Job working at Libby Glass. They are no longer with us but left behind a large family. I am her second from the youngest Grandson. Apparently there is a family cemetery there in them hills in Mercer County I have not found. I hope to find it someday. 🙏🏼 cheers
@@jonathanfreedom1st have you tried using findagrave.com?
@@hoodinthewoods I have Not. Thank you. I'll take a look...
I was on the second floor on the right hand side wing the only thing that was wrong with me when my father put me in there is he wanted to hide me because he had molested me and I tried to kill myself they wound up giving me shock therapy and most of the time I was there they kept me in a straight jacket in a single room because I wanted out they were giving you drugs that kept you sleeping all day and if you weren't sleeping you were up cussing because they come in and hit you for no reason just to piss you off and some of the mail orderlies would come in and rape you it was not a nice place I have seen so much in that place. I was there from 77 to 78, 8 months in total
Could someone buy the stove? In fact, can someone buy the house and what state is this in?
it's in Virginia and it was for sale when i filmed but i dont think it is anymore
Thank you. My family is from there, and I was researching family.
My family is from there.
What a sad thing to see. I played in that gym as a visitor in both 1976 and 1977. . Yes we lost but there was no experience like playing at North Fork! The crowd was rabid for there boys but still polite. They fed us and gave us a place to sleep as it was over 150 miles home. I will always cherish the experience and the wonderful people I met seeing some of them several years later at Concord College
The hospital in Washington state, at Fort Steilacoom, seems so similar. Children with normal disabilities were put there in the 1970’s. I’m trying to learn more and am finding it difficult.
Just stumbled upon this video. Thank you so much for giving more historical background on the town my grandmother grew up in. Her father, Joseph Miller, owned the other store in Pocahontas known as "Miller's Store" from the late 1890s into I think the 1930s. My grandparents married there and my uncle was born there. The store thrived along with the Company store for many years. Do you have any information on my great grandfather's store? Also, do you have pictures of the one room schoolhouse where my grandma went to school?
thank you but no i dont have any off the things you are asking about
You have to hear Sold my soul to the Company Store a old song.
my dad was raised about 60 miles from the town that song is about.
5:04 Seeing that bullet hole logged in the steps like that was wild, but this whole story, massacre and all is CRAZY!! Over 112 Years ago too, that's wild!!
Giles Courthouse/ Giles County has always had a unique history. Good to hear more about the town's history.
Never heard of this story before, this was interesting, it's so much local history in Virginia that's not really talked about or known. The Muse brother's story is so sad. I'm glad their mom was able to find them and get them back, 4:14 "Mama wasn't playin' that Game!" 😆😆I know that's right, can't believe they tried to keep her from her children, i'm glad they paid for it though, both figuratively and literally.
@@1KingCoop mom knew if she did t stand up for them no one else would
@@hoodinthewoods exactly, most of the time momma knows best 💯 i’m glad she stuck up for her kids and didn’t stop fighting for their rights.
catching up on these videos, it's real interesting to learn about local history, especially what i didn't know. Keep up the good work man.
@@1KingCoop lots of good local history in this story
@@hoodinthewoods Still catching up on a lot of these stories. It’s good to learn about both local history and history of the towns, cities in surrounding areas.
Yee, I'm a wizard, and here is my cloak 'Walk around in the woods, make me feel like the pope! Just cruisin' with the breeze on a cloudy day In only a cloak, what can I say? Making all the witches want to come and play 'Cause my cloak is so fly and I wear it for days, hey, uh I'm just walkin' down the path Smellin' the sweet grass, all the witches say I'm like the Flash In my cloak; so fast! I might go for a soak in my cloak, 'cause it's waterproof Got a hood on it too, which is honestly just incredibly convenient... Lo and behold, there goes an old crone! Hey old crone, how are your old bones? "Why do you look so lackadaisical Wand'rin' around in your great big cloak?" I'm too dressed to be stressed in my great big cloak "But what is a wizard without a quest? What's the point of even living without a quest?" Lo and behold, a gnome and bridge trolls Hello gnome; hello you bridge trolls! "Just as we gnomes must sit all day A wizard must quest his life away!" Am I a wizard without a quest? "Just as we trolls must guard the way A wizard never rests and never plays" Tell me am I not a wizard without a quest?! I've gone so far, I'm so astray I really can't afford delay And even though it pains me so I need a quest; it's what I owe! But I've searched for quests, looked high and low I need to call my old friend Joe Pick up Come on, pick up! Hello? Joe! Yo, you need a quest? However did you know? Alex, do not vex! Variety garden pressure from crones, gnomes, and trolls Make one sicker in the gully than stoned Micks in rolls First off, hats off to your tenacity In the face of one ambivalent queen's rhapsody But isn't there a dragon, a basilisk or boss? A plague of the land or a scourge of special sauce? I was at a crossroad trollin' the wood feelin' dope in my clo' O, you have the goods! But wizards can be perfectly apt without quests Sometimes we never know what's best left to test What if this angst is too legit, and I'th quit Or what of a destiny left best to sit? Where are those heroes about whom Homer spoke 'Fore posers took adventure for some brand of joke? Into this world we're thrown Joseph? Joey-Joe? Hm, I can't answer every question for you But if you're yearning for a journey here's what you can do Tell the bridge trolls you've a bigger brother They should let you pass to eat the other Now the paths before you split into infinity Find the one with the mark of the trinity Something bit me and I'm leaking body fluids; this hurts... Sweet, that's street cred with the druids! Stealth walk through their sacred neighborhoods On the skirts of Mr. Robin's Hundred Acre Wood Climb the redwood taller than the tower! Half its leaves are really paneled solar power There's a branch at the top that pulls to drop a tunnel Cross your arms and brace yo'self to funnel To a secret room beneath the Treetown Sound Strike a match and fall onto the ground Duck under the bed or alarms shall crescendo! K; what's in the box? It's a Nintendo
I grew up in Matoaka..Pawama hill where the mine was
Really excellent work with this dude, thank you.
@@danielbachman7807 thankyou
They let that place go all to hell,they could done something to that building
I grew up @1:13. Cool to see here. I have so much history here, almost all of my history.
Lou-a-ville.😊
I live on he road near there
Excellent work! Well researched and unafraid of the horrors of our past, this is the real shit and you’re doing a great job quickly and effectively sharing this information!
thankyou
Copied the other site. ???😢
You've done an amazing amount of research. Well done!
Thank You
First time subscriber. Fascinating video, Thank you so much.
my mom was here and y has no one talk about them all sleeping all day or most days
while i have heard of that in other asylums that didn't come up in any of research on this
I’m addicted to this channel. I moved to NJ for work a few years back, and your channel’s really made me homesick. Thanks for these!
Solid work man.
Thankyou
Thank you for mentioning some Fire Department history.
That's in WV dang I live here and I've never seen nothing like that
That’s all southern wv coal country
wow😂
Amazed they aren't full of squatters
Espetacular 👏
If i may ask where do you get all this history info on Montgomery and the surrounding counties like Pulaski and wythe?
I have read an insane amount of college pdf files I find online, most come from Virginia tech. I use findagrave.com and archived newspapers a lot too.
Hungarian
You got the name of the town wrong all through the video. Read the sign. It is very clear that the name is Austinville, not Austinsville. I live 10 miles from there and can read.
The Sign Company also built 99 copies of The Star ⭐ which were used as Christmas decorations lighted on the Lamposts Downtown till the late 80s. The original cost to build the Star was $28,000.
Pearis was one of my Ancestors... THANKS.
Sheriff Lewis Webb is my family. Webbs are still here in Caroll Co/Patrick Co.
Oh wow where’s this
which one?
Nice front door! Was there literally NO door?
that was it
