You are very respectful of every home you are in. Such a good quality that many people, unfortunately, no longer have. God bless you for maintaining such honorable qualities.
I love the way you post Scripture at the beginning of your videos!! It's a shame people allow all those things to go to waste. The abandoned items should be put up for sale or just given to whomever could use them. It's heartbreaking to see everything just rotting away. Many amazing blessings to you, BigBankz!
It’s great that you respect the persons items and appreciate what they had and their style. You don’t make a joke of them or how they lived. I enjoy that.
What a beautiful old home. I was 23 when this house was vacated for the last time. So much has changed since then, but it's as if it's still 2003 inside the house, like a snapshot in time, suspended forever. I hope it remains like this. Feels right somehow. Great video, and done in a really respectful way. I'm sure the former occupants would have been happy for you to stop by. The house was clearly their pride and joy.
We don't have to die for this to become evident. I'm 73, and last year, I was forced to move from my home of 27 years. One daughter bought a home for me, but I was not allowed to bring very much to the new place. Everything I hold dear is left at my old home.....memories attached. 😢 All new furniture and pots, pans, dishes and even food was bought for the new house. I can't bear to go back to retrieve some things because I know I won't want to leave again.
There is a way to tell how old a house is. I learned it from "This Old House." The toilet is one of the last things they put in a house when they build it. If you take the tank lid off the toilet, like gramma's house, flip over the lid. There should be a year and date stamped on it. That is the year a house is built.
@@texasgirl6000 yep it can take years to go thew court if no one agrees buy then its rotted to point no one wants it looks like what happen here as someone started packing stuff up my guess is one of the kids did then a brother or sister made them stop saying it all went to them
I totally understand what you’re saying. I worked for a community center for over 20 years we found places to take items no one wanted but when things are left behind, depending on where you live, there are legal guidelines and it is sad. We live in a world which a lot of things are disposable, that are in good shape, I was so happy each and every time anitem was placed with a family that could use it however, sometimes when discarded items sit too long, humidity rats bugs take over the house and then there’s nothing that can be done. I called the program donation connection because it connected people together. I became ill this year I could no longer workthe program I used to say there’s more clothing and furniture that does not get use than what is made new I wish the world could find a better way to connect. We need more caring hearts like yours.
This video really hit close to home for me. My mom passed away almost 3 years ago now, but before she passed, she went into a nursing home for a couple of years, leaving her home just sit unoccupied with all her belongings still there. The home that she built along with my dad who passed over 40 years earlier. The house still stands unlived in with all her things still in it to this day. The house is in such bad shape that it is a Hazzard to go into. She lived with me and my husband for her last 2 years of life. She was 92 when she passed away in my livingroom watching TV. ❤❤
Yes. The last I heard, it was going to be sold on the court house steps for back taxes. The house sits on roughly 5 acres. Noone in the family wanted it and I didn't have the legal rights to sell it, so it's just sitting there rotting away.
If there are other children and they do not come to reasonable solution then no one has legal right to sell .....all have to agree so it sits and rots and crumbles and falls apart. Same thing with my dad's place. My younger brother and I wanted it sold big brother didn't and dosent so he has to pay all the taxes on and he gripes but he's one that don't want to sell because it would have to be probate blah blah blah blah and blah
Have you tried recently to see if y’all could get it? Is it really dangerous to go inside or is that just what they said? I was hoping maybe you could go inside to get some of your parents things that you could never replace
@@airelxo The walls are concrete block and the floors are all concrete but the roof has leaked for years and is falling in. I had my chance to go in and get what little of value that was there. Sadly she didn't have much of anything of value. But the house is still full of furniture and clothing and just odds and ends. I'm sure that black mold has taken over by now. The place just needs to be bulldozer down and then cleaned up. The land is worth some money. It's out in the countryside and in a very good school district. I tried to get it signed over to me at one point because her property joined mine and I wanted to combine the two properties but my husband and I ended up selling our house and moving.
It’s sad people leave their loved one’s homes like this after they pass. I graduated in 2003 so it’s crazy to see something this preserved for 20 years. Glad you’re also doing better. I’ve missed the content.

I definitely appreciate how you guys respect the people that use to live in these houses. And how delicate you treat peoples belongings. I truly love u guy's ❤❤
It’s so sad to see these abandoned homes, once filled with families, love and priceless memories of the people who lived loved and grew up in the homes 😢sad to think no one from the family wanted to move in and continue to live and raise their children in the home making new m😢
The very first scene of the cars in the yard and view of the house made me say to my fiance, "that looks like somewhere in North Carolina "... I was emotional with every room- because it was left in a time , that was the same time and place where I grew up. I was a kid in the 1980s and lived in a small town in North Carolina .Every item you looked at was familiar and I felt like I had been there before; sometime in the past. Hope you do more like this.❤
At 4:47 there is a tag that says "Etna Snack Marts". According to Google, those were a chain of stores in at least several NC small towns/cities- Reidsville, Clemmons, Wallace, and Cape Carteret. They date back to at least the early-mid 90s but they're long gone now.
@@elsey1976 It's possible that Deloatch's Auto Repair was the business of Eddie Wilson Deloatch, who passed away in 2020. According to the obituary, he was a mechanic who loved fixing and talking about cars (though there is no mention of a business). The phone number for Queenie is a landline in Rich Square, and the number for Doris is a landline in Woodland. Rich Square and Woodland are very small towns in Northhampton County and are only 8 minutes apart. I also saw memorial plaques for Zeffie Davis and Raymond Davis. Zeffie Davis was born in 1906 in Lasker, a town also in Northampton County. He died in Rich Square in 1979. Raymond Lee Davis was born in Woodland in 1927, and he was the son of Zeffie Davis and May Renne Davis. He married Adell Lassiter (the daughter of Percy Lassiter and Bessie Lassiter) in 1945. He died in 1993 at age 66 from Metastatic Adenocarcinoma. He was later buried at a cemetery in Rich Square. Adell Lassiter also went by Adell Davis Gillespie and Louise Adell Pearson. She was born in 1928 in Rich Square, and she died in September 2002.
My Mom passed in 2022 at 89 of covid😢,she spent her last 4 months in a nursing home because she fell & was wheelchair bound & with her weight it was impossible to bring her home. She begged me & my 2 brothers to take her home but once the state/government gets involved,they would not allow her to go home without 24hr care,someone had to live with her. I wanted too but I Am disabled and was unable to care for her 24 hours a day & I couldn't lift her. I live in a small mobile home or I would have brought her to live with me but same issue of her mobility & home Healthcare is so so expensive sadly😢. But once she passed,no one wanted her things unless they were of value. I on the other hand wanted to keep everything & had to buy a shed to put things in & my home is packed with boxes of her belongings I have yet been unable to go thru. I couldn't bear to part with things that meant so much to her. I wanted my childhood home. The only home she had lived in for 70yrs but it had to be sold to pay her medical bills & I could not afford & of course 1 brother wanted his $$ immediately that was left which was not much. It showed me that our things are really important to us & to others it is just junk to be disposed of . It breaks my heart. Especially since I live right next door to my childhood home & to see it be sold,remodeled & a for sale sign up breaks me every day & I try not to look that way. I want to remember my childhood home with my Mom & Dad & the precious memories. RIP My Momma & Daddy,miss ya so much everyday!
There were a lot of special little things in that house. It is so overwhelming for that much stuff to be left. One of my favorites was the old entertainment center. I like the travel clock that you found in a drawer in the first bedroom. You didn't really comment on it and so I figured you didn't know what it was. It was made compact to go in your luggage. It looked like it was broken. But the travel clocks could open up and sit up on their own. I guess some people didn't want to rely on the front desk to get them up in the morning. Most likely that service wasn't even available when people use these clocks. They were considered a novelty even in the time that people actually use them. If you had been doing exploring and traveling way back when you would have needed a travel clock. I am glad you are happy!
I bought several of those for elementary kids w/out phones whose parents slept in, so that they could get themselves and siblings up and to school without being late and getting fussed at. Hard to find a windup clock.
Both sets of my grandparents passed away as did my Dad. And collectively as their children & grandchildren we all pitched in and took care of their belongings and home. It was difficult, but had to done. We honored their memory, and handled everything left in their estate. I don't understand how these abandoned homes are left this way. How can the loved family members just ignore all of the precious items that meant so much to the one who passed on. It's heartbreaking honestly. Also I'm surprised that the county doesn't hold the family accountable for the property. Taxes still need to be paid. I just can't comprehend how this is possible. 😢
Was introduced to your channel first through Facebook, and then later when you went to Turkey with Maureno, so I think this is my first time commenting on your videos. I really enjoyed this explore, Carter. I love these old time capsule homes in America, probably better than other places. People always leave behind a piece of themselves in their homes, so it's nice to be able to see and connect with that. This was definitely a grandma's house, and I love seeing the vintage items everywhere. But I've gotta say that console stereo with the built in TV was the highlight for me! Those things are super rare and hard to find. I believe that one probably dates back to the 1950's. I imagine that would be worth something. And I can't believe the cars left behind. (Who wouldn't want that Cadillac?!) I don't know. I don't understand people just leaving everything of their parents / grandparents behind like that. I guess I'll never figure it out. So glad to hear you're doing better and you're back on UA-cam again! I'll look forward to more content from you. And thank you SO MUCH for sharing scripture in your video. As a Christian myself, it blesses my heart to see people sharing their faith as well. God bless you, Carter. Thank you for taking us all on a tour of this forgotten home. Fantastic video!
I hope to always honor my family by making sure their things are taken care of. It’s not hard to go through things and donate or sell the house. I don’t understand how people just walk away
I love the deep south homes I love every part of this house I'm glad to hear things are going better for you and you are happy back doing what you love doing.
Carter u warm my heart with every video, ur so respectful and very caring of these people past lives ❤ alot of things that remind me of times past with my mother and her mother things they had in there times. I'm 70 yrs old and I'm sure my 3 grown children won't want my things and so who knows...I won't be here any longer to be concerned about it any longer! Take good care of yourself please, cause life is to short to not enjoy every minute!
I was born in 1995 and seeing things that u pick up with the year I was born on it is truly amazing!. 😊 I live in an older house that’s dated back in the 1900’s and it’s said that this house used to be the civil war hospital. But it looks like more was added onto it later. I was outside one day and stumbled upon a cannon ball and a very old pick axe. And tons of mason jars and older soda cans .
You know I love watching your videos. I’m 60 and everytime I watch one I go throw away some more crap I don’t need. I have one son and no other family to give anything to so I have to get rid of this stuff or my house will end up on an episode of yours one day 😂😂. My son doesn’t want all my junk or my moms and grandmas stuff. Why do we collect all these things to only be left like this 😢 Life is what is meaningful and family. Not the things that rot away. Thanks for taking us with you on these.
I just found your channel. I love your soothing voice and the amount of admiration for such fine things. It's a shame that nobody came to claim these irreplaceable items. Their heritage. How I would love to find some of my family's beloved treasures. It's Amaxing that more vandalism hasn't occurred to most of these homes. I would love to do what you are doing. I love the care you take with these departed souls treasures. I'm hoping to see many more videos. Thank you, Sir. ❤
I have to say, I watch a lot of urbanX exploration videos because I love to see how people used to live, and I think you do it the best. I love how you start off the video with the former resident’s story, giving them the respect they deserve. I also like that you really appreciate all the decor and interesting old furniture, because that living room really was pretty cool!
Grandma wouldn't want her stuff to rot away, I know. I want someone to cherish and love any and everything that I leave behind. What a shame that no family cares for any of that. As far as the gun, my dad gave me one almost an exact replica....it was a goose gun. I just wish you'd tell the town and states they're found in. What a gem!❤
It’s so 💔 heart breaking and sad that a family member passed and nobody in there family ever goes back to retrieve some of there items,if not everything atleast the photos. I really appreciate the videos you share, and by the way each time you open the fridge at these abandoned homes I close my nose 👃 as if I can smell what’s inside 😮😊
Oh my gosh-that poem was popular when I was a teenager. We thought that was soooo profound. It’s not really. It has some truth to it but it’s mostly selfish 😂. What a sweet house. I’m glad it’s not trashed. It’s just as she left it.
What a great house. Love the bathroom and kitchen. The tub, sink, tile, kitchen cabinets and sink are amazing. Hopefully they will be saved and not destroyed. Lol, 20 years ago I had that velvet hide-a-bed couch and chair in royal blue from the 40's.
Home Sweet Home!!! When I see this abandon things , I meditate that only our soul makes that this things acquire a truly meaning for us and for others sharing special moments and leaving a legacy in the life of our family. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful experience. Beautiful house… Beautiful Soul!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
This family was obviously well dressed and very proud of their home. The red and black couch is so fancy. Grecian formula was a hair stuff. Not sure what but remember the commercial for it. As always it breaks my heart to see the beautiful furniture left behind to eventually rot. Lovely home.
M y Grandparents had a nice small home in Alabama Unfortunately they didn't leave the home to no one in particular So it just became air property. Which means that it can only be sold if all the grandchildren signed off so that it can be sold. And my Grandparents had about 30 or 40 grandchildren. Do you know how hard it is for everyone to cooperate? So the same thing happened to my Grandparents house. It's just left to rot. I so desperately wish that she had left a will so that someone would have at least gotten the house Smh.
@@rosanelson1373 oh wow that's crazy. I honestly never heard of that happening, so you opened my eyes . Were you all at able to recover furniture or pictures?
@rosanelson1373 Sounds like the story on my maternal grandmother's side. My aunt was paying the taxes; but she stopped because over 50 people would have to sign off on it. What is air or heir property? As you said can you imagine getting all those people to agree on what to do with property? On my paternal side it was left to one person who is letting it rot. It's a shame. They are each relatively small homes with just a few acres each; yet full of love. You felt so homey there. Oh well, life certainly goes on. Just grateful for the memories!
The record player / TV combo is probably from the 1950s bc the TV appears to be an old Black and White. Kinda laughed when he was trying to open the area next to where the records are stored cuz that's the where the speaker is mounted to the cabinet and it doesn't open. Really nice video. Makes you wonder if relatives are still living, why they haven't claimed the house and possessions, and what will eventually happen to everything.
So sad to see this old house fall into disrepair, I wonder if this lady had a family??? It still can be a gorgeous home for a family and I love the kitchen sink and old metal cabinets.
The big wood console in the living room is stereo console. It has a record player, 8-track tape player, and am/fm radio. It's all under the lid on top that raises up. And yes that old TV is an old TV.
What a great house some of the things in it reminded me of my grandmother like the green thing on top of the wardrobe it's was a hairdryer haven't seen one in years
I love watching this with you so much respect for everything left❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and I'm sure the family who lived there that passed on would be proud you displayed there home❤❤❤❤❤
Probably LC Smith shotgun, 12g typically worth the least out of all gauges whereas .410 worth the most. That hammer style design was produced from around 1915-1950 give or take a couple years. The later designs went hammerless. Still a nice find, shocked it’s still laying there.
I loved that bathroom. It is still like she left it which is sad😢 Did she not have any family left at all to come go thru her belongings and her husbands as well?? So sad to see it all left behind!Good video BB ❤❤
The high chairs where saved from there children and pulled out with happiness when grandchildren arrived. Every home I knew or grew up in did this. It was quite a big deal to bring the highchair back in the kitchen for the arrival of your first and so on grandchild ❤❤
The shotgun looks like a Harrington and Richardson, used to be avalible at stores like Kmart back in the day, very affordable. Not certain on this though.
My husband was from a small town. In Kentucky. The family owns a few acres. My husband told me when his mother died. ,thay just shut the door and never went back. For years I wanted to see her house. Mabey pictures or a pice of glass . Like my grandmother gave me a beautiful bowl and a wicker basket for sewing Just little things for keepsake. But she died in the 60s and who knows if the land still is opened by family.
So sad to hear the mistry of the abandoned house of grandma😂,thank you for showing this, l always like watching your guys video, Annie Miri Taumaa born in the cook Island little Island in Aitutaki, but gru up in the main Island Rarotonga, dont get me long cook lsland is a beautiful Island tourist get crazy when they come for holiday, but right now am watching you too live you video in New Zealand Auckland Otahuhu,keep up the good work, so sad to see alot of the rich house has been abandoned, ❤❤❤
Love to see you back and I really enjoy your videos. This is very sad how her family hasn’t been around to savage her things and sale the house and cars and boat
Welcome back I’ve missed your videos. But what a beautiful home. Favorite room’s are the bathroom and living room it’s always sad seeing all of there belongings . Glad you’re doing well. Take care and have a great day 😊
That old Cadillac is awesome! Someone could definitely bring her back to life, wow, she’s a beauty and a beast! Huge, with style, not the crap they put out nowadays!
The best part of this video for me was actually seeing that very old television record player Radio combination. That combination is a 1952 Motorola combination.
Such a well loved and extremely clean home. I'm fascinated seeing the possessions that people left behind. But very sad as well. I don't like the fact that no one cares to save them! The cans of fried apples are sold in Wal-Mart. I've bought them before! There are quite a few southern style foods in the canned goods section of Wal-Mart. Glad to hear that you're happy and being your true self! Stay positive! ❤️
The very best to you☺️so glad you are happy now💕Love your videos!!! This was a true time capsule~sad, but still nice to see💕Thank~you!! Always look forward to your videos😊😊From somewhere in the U.S.A.❤
In the living area, the long "cabinet" you tried opening before showing a shot of the TV, Actually the whole top lifts up. It's an old stereo, reg radio 8track, and record player all in one. Had one growing up, my dad would play his old 45's on it. I remember hearing, Mule train and also Rock of Gibraltar along as a kid.
She took pride in her home. Glad you showed this house.THANK YOU
I don’t understand how families can leave their deceased loved ones things behind. It’s quite sad. Thank you for sharing.
At least get the photos.
It's just stuff. Stuff doesn't matter.
@@samscarletta7433it can be donated to the poor. Stupid to leave it behind. We sure didn't do that.

The very first scene of the cars in the yard and view of the house made me say to my fiance, "that looks like somewhere in North Carolina "...
I was emotional with every room- because it was left in a time , that was the same time and place where I grew up. I was a kid in the 1980s and lived in a small town in North Carolina .Every item you looked at was familiar and I felt like I had been there before; sometime in the past. Hope you do more like this.❤
The same for me, including growing up in the 80/90s in NC.
Same here- I'm from Farmville, a small town in the eastern part of the state! However, I was born in 2003 💜
At 4:47 there is a tag that says "Etna Snack Marts". According to Google, those were a chain of stores in at least several NC small towns/cities- Reidsville, Clemmons, Wallace, and Cape Carteret. They date back to at least the early-mid 90s but they're long gone now.
@thehauterod that's not a tag, ita book of matches. What about the Deloatch's Auto Repair above the phone numbers on the bedroom wall?
@@elsey1976 It's possible that Deloatch's Auto Repair was the business of Eddie Wilson Deloatch, who passed away in 2020. According to the obituary, he was a mechanic who loved fixing and talking about cars (though there is no mention of a business). The phone number for Queenie is a landline in Rich Square, and the number for Doris is a landline in Woodland. Rich Square and Woodland are very small towns in Northhampton County and are only 8 minutes apart.
I also saw memorial plaques for Zeffie Davis and Raymond Davis. Zeffie Davis was born in 1906 in Lasker, a town also in Northampton County. He died in Rich Square in 1979.
Raymond Lee Davis was born in Woodland in 1927, and he was the son of Zeffie Davis and May Renne Davis. He married Adell Lassiter (the daughter of Percy Lassiter and Bessie Lassiter) in 1945. He died in 1993 at age 66 from Metastatic Adenocarcinoma. He was later buried at a cemetery in Rich Square.
Adell Lassiter also went by Adell Davis Gillespie and Louise Adell Pearson. She was born in 1928 in Rich Square, and she died in September 2002.
My Mom passed in 2022 at 89 of covid😢,she spent her last 4 months in a nursing home because she fell & was wheelchair bound & with her weight it was impossible to bring her home. She begged me & my 2 brothers to take her home but once the state/government gets involved,they would not allow her to go home without 24hr care,someone had to live with her. I wanted too but I Am disabled and was unable to care for her 24 hours a day & I couldn't lift her. I live in a small mobile home or I would have brought her to live with me but same issue of her mobility & home Healthcare is so so expensive sadly😢. But once she passed,no one wanted her things unless they were of value. I on the other hand wanted to keep everything & had to buy a shed to put things in & my home is packed with boxes of her belongings I have yet been unable to go thru. I couldn't bear to part with things that meant so much to her. I wanted my childhood home. The only home she had lived in for 70yrs but it had to be sold to pay her medical bills & I could not afford & of course 1 brother wanted his $$ immediately that was left which was not much. It showed me that our things are really important to us & to others it is just junk to be disposed of . It breaks my heart. Especially since I live right next door to my childhood home & to see it be sold,remodeled & a for sale sign up breaks me every day & I try not to look that way. I want to remember my childhood home with my Mom & Dad & the precious memories. RIP My Momma & Daddy,miss ya so much everyday!
There were a lot of special little things in that house. It is so overwhelming for that much stuff to be left. One of my favorites was the old entertainment center. I like the travel clock that you found in a drawer in the first bedroom. You didn't really comment on it and so I figured you didn't know what it was. It was made compact to go in your luggage. It looked like it was broken. But the travel clocks could open up and sit up on their own. I guess some people didn't want to rely on the front desk to get them up in the morning. Most likely that service wasn't even available when people use these clocks. They were considered a novelty even in the time that people actually use them. If you had been doing exploring and traveling way back when you would have needed a travel clock. I am glad you are happy!
I bought several of those for elementary kids w/out phones whose parents slept in, so that they could get themselves and siblings up and to school without being late and getting fussed at. Hard to find a windup clock.
@@nannernose3133Interesting!!
I actually purchased one of the travel alarms at an antique store not long ago.
Both sets of my grandparents passed away as did my Dad. And collectively as their children & grandchildren we all pitched in and took care of their belongings and home. It was difficult, but had to done. We honored their memory, and handled everything left in their estate. I don't understand how these abandoned homes are left this way. How can the loved family members just ignore all of the precious items that meant so much to the one who passed on. It's heartbreaking honestly. Also I'm surprised that the county doesn't hold the family accountable for the property. Taxes still need to be paid. I just can't comprehend how this is possible. 😢
Was introduced to your channel first through Facebook, and then later when you went to Turkey with Maureno, so I think this is my first time commenting on your videos. I really enjoyed this explore, Carter. I love these old time capsule homes in America, probably better than other places. People always leave behind a piece of themselves in their homes, so it's nice to be able to see and connect with that. This was definitely a grandma's house, and I love seeing the vintage items everywhere. But I've gotta say that console stereo with the built in TV was the highlight for me! Those things are super rare and hard to find. I believe that one probably dates back to the 1950's. I imagine that would be worth something. And I can't believe the cars left behind. (Who wouldn't want that Cadillac?!) I don't know. I don't understand people just leaving everything of their parents / grandparents behind like that. I guess I'll never figure it out. So glad to hear you're doing better and you're back on UA-cam again! I'll look forward to more content from you. And thank you SO MUCH for sharing scripture in your video. As a Christian myself, it blesses my heart to see people sharing their faith as well. God bless you, Carter. Thank you for taking us all on a tour of this forgotten home. Fantastic video!
I hope to always honor my family by making sure their things are taken care of. It’s not hard to go through things and donate or sell the house. I don’t understand how people just walk away
I love the deep south homes I love every part of this house I'm glad to hear things are going better for you and you are happy back doing what you love doing.
Carter u warm my heart with every video, ur so respectful and very caring of these people past lives ❤ alot of things that remind me of times past with my mother and her mother things they had in there times. I'm 70 yrs old and I'm sure my 3 grown children won't want my things and so who knows...I won't be here any longer to be concerned about it any longer! Take good care of yourself please, cause life is to short to not enjoy every minute!
I was born in 1995 and seeing things that u pick up with the year I was born on it is truly amazing!. 😊 I live in an older house that’s dated back in the 1900’s and it’s said that this house used to be the civil war hospital. But it looks like more was added onto it later. I was outside one day and stumbled upon a cannon ball and a very old pick axe. And tons of mason jars and older soda cans .
If it's from the 1900's it's not a civil war hospital.
I mistakenly put 1900 and not the actual year I was think about the year I was born.😆
You know I love watching your videos. I’m 60 and everytime I watch one I go throw away some more crap I don’t need. I have one son and no other family to give anything to so I have to get rid of this stuff or my house will end up on an episode of yours one day 😂😂. My son doesn’t want all my junk or my moms and grandmas stuff. Why do we collect all these things to only be left like this 😢 Life is what is meaningful and family. Not the things that rot away. Thanks for taking us with you on these.
Hello Merry Xmas and happy new year in advance 🎉
I'm at the same place in my life.
I just found your channel. I love your soothing voice and the amount of admiration for such fine things. It's a shame that nobody came to claim these irreplaceable items. Their heritage. How I would love to find some of my family's beloved treasures. It's Amaxing that more vandalism hasn't occurred to most of these homes. I would love to do what you are doing. I love the care you take with these departed souls treasures. I'm hoping to see many more videos. Thank you, Sir. ❤
You are SO respectful and quiet. Love you.❤
Your introduction and kind sentiment made me tear up where are her family. This is heartbreaking
I have to say, I watch a lot of urbanX exploration videos because I love to see how people used to live, and I think you do it the best. I love how you start off the video with the former resident’s story, giving them the respect they deserve. I also like that you really appreciate all the decor and interesting old furniture, because that living room really was pretty cool!
What a gem to find. The red furniture, records etc. Just wow❤
Grandma wouldn't want her stuff to rot away, I know. I want someone to cherish and love any and everything that I leave behind. What a shame that no family cares for any of that. As far as the gun, my dad gave me one almost an exact replica....it was a goose gun. I just wish you'd tell the town and states they're found in.
What a gem!❤
Great to see your true self. Love the care and love you put into your explorers and videos.
It’s so 💔 heart breaking and sad that a family member passed and nobody in there family ever goes back to retrieve some of there items,if not everything atleast the photos. I really appreciate the videos you share, and by the way each time you open the fridge at these abandoned homes I close my nose 👃 as if I can smell what’s inside 😮😊
Oh my gosh-that poem was popular when I was a teenager. We thought that was soooo profound. It’s not really. It has some truth to it but it’s mostly selfish 😂. What a sweet house. I’m glad it’s not trashed. It’s just as she left it.
What a great house. Love the bathroom and kitchen. The tub, sink, tile, kitchen cabinets and sink are amazing. Hopefully they will be saved and not destroyed. Lol, 20 years ago I had that velvet hide-a-bed couch and chair in royal blue from the 40's.
Home Sweet Home!!! When I see this abandon things , I meditate that only our soul makes that this things acquire a truly meaning for us and for others sharing special moments and leaving a legacy in the life of our family. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful experience. Beautiful house… Beautiful Soul!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yall do a great job!! Thanks for taking us along
Such a lovely house
This family was obviously well dressed and very proud of their home. The red and black couch is so fancy.
Grecian formula was a hair stuff. Not sure what but remember the commercial for it. As always it breaks my heart to see the beautiful furniture left behind to eventually rot. Lovely home.
M y Grandparents had a nice small home in Alabama
Unfortunately they didn't leave the home to no one in particular
So it just became air property. Which means that it can only be sold if all the grandchildren signed off so that it can be sold. And my Grandparents had about 30 or 40 grandchildren. Do you know how hard it is for everyone to cooperate? So the same thing happened to my Grandparents house. It's just left to rot. I so desperately wish that she had left a will so that someone would have at least gotten the house
Smh.
@@rosanelson1373 oh wow that's crazy. I honestly never heard of that happening, so you opened my eyes . Were you all at able to recover furniture or pictures?
@rosanelson1373 Sounds like the story on my maternal grandmother's side. My aunt was paying the taxes; but she stopped because over 50 people would have to sign off on it. What is air or heir property? As you said can you imagine getting all those people to agree on what to do with property? On my paternal side it was left to one person who is letting it rot. It's a shame. They are each relatively small homes with just a few acres each; yet full of love. You felt so homey there. Oh well, life certainly goes on. Just grateful for the memories!
The record player / TV combo is probably from the 1950s bc the TV appears to be an old Black and White. Kinda laughed when he was trying to open the area next to where the records are stored cuz that's the where the speaker is mounted to the cabinet and it doesn't open. Really nice video. Makes you wonder if relatives are still living, why they haven't claimed the house and possessions, and what will eventually happen to everything.
So sad to see this old house fall into disrepair, I wonder if this lady had a family??? It still can be a gorgeous home for a family and I love the kitchen sink and old metal cabinets.
That flooring is the same we had in our farmhouse back in the 70's. The popular color, design of the times.
It's good to have you back!! You look good and sound happy. I love the passion you have for the people that used to live in these places. Thank you!!
Awe so happy you feel free to be yourself, contented with who you are. Very cool time capsule. Thanks.
I just don't understand how family members could leave all these memories behind😢
The big wood console in the living room is stereo console. It has a record player, 8-track tape player, and am/fm radio. It's all under the lid on top that raises up. And yes that old TV is an old TV.
God Bless these people. May they rest in peace.
1:30 the white car is a '67 Plymouth Fury VIP and the brown one appears to be a '75 or '76 Cadillac Fleetwood.
What a great house some of the things in it reminded me of my grandmother like the green thing on top of the wardrobe it's was a hairdryer haven't seen one in years
Great find record player and tv built into the cabintry. That is a antique now.
Definitely a time capsule!
Hope your son had a happy birthday! You seem very happy,!
These are the types of houses i like to see with everything in it. This one was great.
This was so cool! I was born in 1970 so a LOT of the things in this home we had on our!
I love watching this with you so much respect for everything left❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and I'm sure the family who lived there that passed on would be proud you displayed there home❤❤❤❤❤
You are so kind and thoughtful in your narations. Thank you.
Probably LC Smith shotgun, 12g typically worth the least out of all gauges whereas .410 worth the most. That hammer style design was produced from around 1915-1950 give or take a couple years. The later designs went hammerless. Still a nice find, shocked it’s still laying there.
And I'm very happy for you and your reunited person wishing you both the very best!! Your brave opening those refrigerators lol
Btw glad to see you again Carter. God takes sadness and turns it around for gladness. Love the Scriptures
I loved that bathroom. It is still like she left it which is sad😢 Did she not have any family left at all to come go thru her belongings and her husbands as well?? So sad to see it all left behind!Good video BB ❤❤
Glad you found yourself. That's the beginning of the journey ❤
So glad you are back! Love watching your adventures.
I missed you. Im glad you are back. God Bless you, Carter.
Thanks bankz I love seeing the antiques pre technology to you gotta wonder , may that granny rest old people are adorable without trying
Good to see you smiling.. I enjoyed the video , so sad all those possessions left to the mice and nature.. a real time capsule 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Glad you are happy
Glad to have you back! I missed you , ur my favorite xplr ! I've watched u for yrs now. 😊 Looking fit friend
The high chairs where saved from there children and pulled out with happiness when grandchildren arrived. Every home I knew or grew up in did this. It was quite a big deal to bring the highchair back in the kitchen for the arrival of your first and so on grandchild ❤❤
Love to see the old antiques the old abandoned houses
love this. pulling on the record player drawers made me smile.
The shotgun looks like a Harrington and Richardson, used to be avalible at stores like Kmart back in the day, very affordable. Not certain on this though.
That bathroom is so complete and in order. Bathroom says alot about people's character. Yes???
My husband was from a small town. In Kentucky. The family owns a few acres. My husband told me when his mother died. ,thay just shut the door and never went back.
For years I wanted to see her house. Mabey pictures or a pice of glass . Like my grandmother gave me a beautiful bowl and a wicker basket for sewing
Just little things for keepsake.
But she died in the 60s and who knows if the land still is opened by family.
Thank you for this. Memories are so important.
What a lovely house just wasting away 😮 thanks for sharing and welcome back!!!!
❤❤❤❤ Great job!! Im really enjoying listening to you.
It is a pretty nice old house 🏚. But I think that maybe if you were to bring lights with you it would help on the darkness 😊
Hello Merry Christmas 🎉and happy new year in advance
Loved the living room places wasn't all that bad kinda clean Loved the video 👌 ❤
So sad to hear the mistry of the abandoned house of grandma😂,thank you for showing this, l always like watching your guys video, Annie Miri Taumaa born in the cook Island little Island in Aitutaki, but gru up in the main Island Rarotonga, dont get me long cook lsland is a beautiful Island tourist get crazy when they come for holiday, but right now am watching you too live you video in New Zealand Auckland Otahuhu,keep up the good work, so sad to see alot of the rich house has been abandoned, ❤❤❤
The living room was decorated very stylish!
Love to see you back and I really enjoy your videos. This is very sad how her family hasn’t been around to savage her things and sale the house and cars and boat
Welcome back I’ve missed your videos. But what a beautiful home. Favorite room’s are the bathroom and living room it’s always sad seeing all of there belongings . Glad you’re doing well. Take care and have a great day 😊
I think the TV cabinet is from the early 1950s probably a very good collector's item
That old Cadillac is awesome! Someone could definitely bring her back to life, wow, she’s a beauty and a beast! Huge, with style, not the crap they put out nowadays!
The best part of this video for me was actually seeing that very old television record player Radio combination. That combination is a 1952 Motorola combination.
Such a well loved and extremely clean home. I'm fascinated seeing the possessions that people left behind. But very sad as well. I don't like the fact that no one cares to save them!
The cans of fried apples are sold in Wal-Mart. I've bought them before! There are quite a few southern style foods in the canned goods section of Wal-Mart.
Glad to hear that you're happy and being your true self! Stay positive! ❤️
The very best to you☺️so glad you are happy now💕Love your videos!!! This was a true time capsule~sad, but still nice to see💕Thank~you!! Always look forward to your videos😊😊From somewhere in the U.S.A.❤
Thank you so much!!
Another time capsule -another forgotten house full of memories family never comes back for.
I love this house ❤ & welcome back, stay safe, God Bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
In the living area, the long "cabinet" you tried opening before showing a shot of the TV, Actually the whole top lifts up. It's an old stereo, reg radio 8track, and record player all in one. Had one growing up, my dad would play his old 45's on it. I remember hearing, Mule train and also Rock of Gibraltar along as a kid.
Been loving this channel for years, your just cool man. Your videos slow my world down and I can enjoy and think, process 💯💥 always support you 👍
So glad your back big bankz missed you
The hole is for collection of rain water,large pipe feeds in.The small hole at the bottom of the big collector is for a sump pump
Man the intro talk was amazing..Love the words you said
I like the somber music! Brings a tear to your eye!
This house is very clean for a house that was abandoned many years ago...
Clean? Really?
@@becka8753 "for a hause that was abandoned MANY YEARS AGO"
