Abandoned Grandma's House - Found hidden home behind property
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2019
- In today's explore we find an abandoned home nicknamed "Grandma's House". It's clear an elderly woman spent her final days in this home and for whatever reason the home was neglected and eventually abandoned. That's where I come in. Documenting the past is what I love to do and houses like this is an example of a puzzle. Not knowing any history, going inside the home, and coming out with knowledge of not only the former residents but with culture. If you guys enjoy leave a THUMBS UP and SUBSCRIBE for more exploring/ historical videos ! Have a great day!

What makes me sad are the childrens books. Grandma was probably so happy when her grandkids came to visit.
Nothing lasts forever except forever. Time goes by and separates one from another, no exceptions.
Mark Nichols yup sadly
Grandma is a corpse now!!
its sad to know the kids didn't love her enough to come back and put the house to rest . even tho the grandma probable loved her grand kids
Sam S yes, she probably loves them to keep all those pictures, maybe some of them was dead before her …… it’s sad all those personal stuff, she must have been very lonely, poor little woman, i hope her soul is delivered like this little bird for a better world 🕊
I just don’t understand. There was a wall hanging that said, “We love you Mom” and there were references to Grandma on a pillow. This woman clearly had family and nobody came to get anything in that house. It’s incredibly sad.
Lisa CJ the wall hanging could’ve been a gift at one time
I've given old family photos, mementos etc to my kids already- this video hit too close to home for me.
The house could be probate. My grandmother's house is exactly like this only not messed up (that I know of, we check on it periodically). My grandmother died in 2012 and was survived by my grandfather and he was a WW2 vet. So he lived there a for another 5 years until he decided he had enough of living and killed himself. Then out of the blue came his side of the family and they wanted the house. We don't want the house, we just want the photos and things that belonged to my grandma and grandpa but his side put a fucking padlock on the door so we can't get in. So it sits there frozen in time waiting for shit to be settled and all because people we've never met before are many hungry. Sadly this could take years and all the while the house is crumbling. He killed himself in 2017 and it's 2020. House is still in probate.
@@chopitup9950 I'm so sorry for your loss. I really hope things will soon settle for your family!
There was a similar situation with a home in Ontario, Canada dubbed “The Cat Lady House”, there were 2 wills, one stated the property would go to family and the other will stated it to go to some sort of conservatory, legal battles kept it in probate but no one sealed the house or came for the contents. The house was amazing, it fell prey to looters, vandals, grave robbers and eventually to arsonists and it was burned to the ground...so sad!
Mary Beale died in hospice care in 2010 at the age of 94. It says in her obit that she loved gardening and crocheting and spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a supervisor of the laundry department in a hospital during her working years. I noticed on a device at 7:41 there’s a name sticker with Elmer Beale on it. This was Mary’s husband who died in 1983. Elmer was most likely in his 60s when he passed away, so Mary lived around 30 years without her husband. It sounds like she was very close to her family, and she was loved and will be missed.
Thanks for that information. I ck'd the obit for Mrs. Beale, and it stated she was survived by a daughter and her family, a son and his family, and many grand-and great-grand children. You'd think somebody in her family would claim and take care of the property, or sell it. But maybe as other posters have mentioned, it may be still in the court process and proceedings are hung up. Wow. At least the place could be maintained and locked up.
PAT SMITH it has been listed for sale for many years. Property taxes are being paid regularly on it. Maybe the family lives out of state and does not have easy access to the property. It looks like it is being sold more for the land parcel then the house.
So why would a family she was close to leave her home in that state?
@@brighterdays2come Very good question, I was just wondering the same thing. Maybe they were trying to keep it as she left it. However, sadly, squatters and looters will ransack the place and tear it up, unlike the guy filming, who is very respectful of these old, abandoned places. With these old granny houses, especially, the looters ransack the place probably looking for money because grannies love stashing money in hidden areas. That's why a lot of these places look like they've been through WWIII. And once the house's interior has been basically destroyed, the owners of the property (if there are any) just leave it as it is. But good point in asking why a family so close to her would just leave her house in that state because my son's grandma is 90 now and we all love her very much and, once she passes, we would never just abandon her house. There are too many memories in that house to let it just sit and rot.
The main sad thing to me is how the family left behind all those family pictures unless they have copies there are replaceable Irreplaceable and we appreciate so much those that take the time to look up the backstory makes it so much more interesting thank you
I appreciate the respect you show while touring this house. You are a sensitive and courteous young man.
Diane Stevens I agree. I lost my grandmother in feb. we had less than a week to move her entire house. I stayed in that house and worked hard but we got it done. There’s no reason to abandon stuff like this.
Presently who is the owner of this house
Yeah! Breaking and entering is real respectful!
@@Joefest99 what
Yeah, me too. I wanna see the home too.
So depressing to see people neglect houses like this. I would have NEVER left my grandmas possessions behind. So sad. Good video man.
I agree 100% When my grandmother died, my mother kept what she wanted and gave two of my aunts whatever they wanted. Then my mother rolled my grandmother's prized brass coffee table into the garage and just left it there. to make matters worse, my mom threw away the war letters that my grandparents sent to each other while my grandfather was serving in WWII. Those letters would have been priceless to me and I've never forgiven my mother for being so callous about my grandmother's things.
@@MaryWhiteWolf That's so sad :(
@@KeepUpWithTheSmiths That's just how my mother is and the saddest thing is- she absolutely doesn't care. I do better and live better than that. :-)
@@MaryWhiteWolf very sad. Smh.
@@MaryWhiteWolf I have always been sentimental but I know my children are not. Seems to skip a generation. I hope you can forgive your Mom though. Life is short. Blessings!
Seeing the "we love you mom" embroidery almost made my heart explode out of sadness
Same
Circle of life.
Me too.
I was thinking that there might be family who don't know her house was abandoned like this!! It's heartbreaking to see such a beautiful house abandoned!!
They must not have loved mom that much just to let the house and her belongings rot away. There are a lot of things that could have been donated to someone in need and that house would have been a lovely home for someone if they had kept it up.
It's the saddest thing ever....being old and left alone with your memories and photos. An entire life lived, and abandoned....forgotten. So depressing.
I cant never understand why this happens.
It is sad. I write in a journal, have ten of them since high school. I have memories too, but no one to leave them with once I go. I'd hope the journal's that I have written all these yrs will find there way to someone that might find the past interesting, the movies I've seen, the jobs I've had over the yrs, places I've been, etc. Its my part of history through my eyes. Hope not just go to trash once gone.
@@41BeachComber I keep journals too. I've been writing them since I was 7. Just began my 42nd journal! 😳 I have no one to leave them to either...yet. I keep telling myself I should make more effort to note current movies/music etc, but I'm drawn to older things. I ✍ write mostly about thoughts and feelings, not so much "the times." Oh well. I still feel compelled to write.
@@AvecPoesie Maybe talk to a local church or library to see if they would take them once your gone for historical reasons. If you do get married and have children they might take them. Maybe talk to your local historical society in the area if they would take then after your gone. If you feel the need to leave them with a friend or a stranger. If you have no one that wants your view of life after your gone, I'd be glad and honored to take them. I enjoy writing in my journals too, not daily but I try a few times a mth to write.
@@41BeachComber Thank you so very much for your insightful suggestions. I will take them all into consideration. 🤗
Cross stitch on the wall says “we love you mom”. Then I wonder why , if mom was so loved, was her house and all her things left to rot?
Her family may have also fallen on rough times at the time of her end. Maybe they couldn't pay the taxes, maybe they were out of country, maybe they were just unable to make the trek back... So many reasons beyond just the pain of losing the central figure to your family. I don't think it's ok to assume that no one cared.
Probably because they loved the person, not material items.
I have a good piece of advise.Don't video family pictures unless you have permission in writing to explore these places.I had a fellow I knew get in bad legal trouble over that.
Suwannee Kid Good point.
A lot of these houses are tied up in probate court until the kids come to some kind of agreement.
My heart just sunk when I saw the pinpoint messages of "we love you mom" and "there's no place like home except grandma's". I'm actually crying..
Pussy
mandeepsekhon souless garbage human.
I know you have been abused before that is why you become a jerk to sentimental and loving people.
I’m crying too 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@mandeepsekhon you're pussy
Everything just left as it was, i cant believe no family has been back to even claim memorable photographs that you can never replace. Very sad 😥
Mel Pitman people dont care. Grandma dies, big fuckin deal. Where's the will, and what's in it for me?
They probably claimed her bank acct.
Cigarette butts still in the ash tray,too creepy.
The poor,dead spider plants. Such a shame.
Maybe she didn't have any living family members left. Sometimes parents out live children, we just don't know the history of this family.
Working as a caregiver.... I know all too well that some elderly have children and grandkids. They just dont visit. Or care to visit. Towards the end of my grandmas life i had uncles and aunts that abandoned her. I used to fight with them on how cruel they were. They refused to tell my grandma why they wouldnt talk to her. After she passed though, they claimed all sorts of shit to defame her character without her being able to defend herself. My aunt even hated the fact that my grandma took me in after my mother passed. Her own sister at 25 years old passed away from cancer leaving behind a five year old daughter (me), and you're gonna bitch and moan that grandma fought for her custody? Sometimes family members are shit. And it is extremely sad. But sometimes people are better off without them. I can sure say I'm not missing those uncles and aunts. The only thing I do miss is my mom and my grandma.
In 2011 bought a large Victorian house that an Italian-American couple had lived in since 1945. They raised 5 kids there -- filling the attic walls with childish drawings in chalk and crayon -- but after the husband died in the '80s the family's harmony seemed to dissolve. When the mom got dementia and began wandering the neighborhood aimlessly in the winter in a nightdress -- if she was lucky -- none of the 3 kids who still lived nearby would do anything about it. It fell to a young neighbor to retrieve her each time, to preserve her dignity. He looked up the kids and spoke with them, but they didn''t want any part of helping. I got the place from the estate; even though it was bargained-priced -- just $104,000 for almost 1800 s.f. in decent as-found condition, located in a nice part of the Philadelphia suburbs -- none of the kids offered on it.
You can pick your friends,unfortunately family ur stuck with the cards your dealt
@@Ollywood00 not really. You can pick your family. And I choose to have the family that I was welcomed into in 2006. The ones that actually care for me. Leaving the others in the dust. You can rid yourself of bad family members. And I have done that. I just need to learn how to let the hurt go. And I'm working on that.
@@50zcarsman it is sad that family members could turn their backs...
this is there mom...
My mother was mean and ugly person but I never turned my back on her..
I still loved her and support her into her death.. and I still visit her gravesite...
Sadly I look at these comments yes ? Blood or not people shall treat you exactly the way they feel about themselves. It is good for mine heart to believe that deep down no matter what face another shall show you, remember Jesus knows the true face. I shall think also that even the wicked are sad. And not one of us is free from sinning in this world. So as this is so BRETHREN AND SISTERS, I say pray ! I pray for ALL because I do not want to leave anyone out ever. And we all know being rejected IS a painful issue. Could you imagine how it would feel if you could not control your spirit to stop doing harm ? Chilling No ? May Jesus Keep You All I Pray ~
This definitely made me cry. I could NEVER imagine leaving my mother or grandmother alone during times of hardship or leave their items to be forgotten by generations.
This was once a home where family mattered. Sad to see it wasting away, without anyone caring. 😣☹️😢😭
It's just stuff we put to much value in possessions we can't take it with us when we're gone and it only takes one thing of there's to be truly special having a bunch of it does it truly make it special anymore if tons of it
...I hope you find joy in her treasures despite the sadness in your heart.
We are in the process of cleaning out my brother's home right now as he recently and very suddenly passed away. The photographs give us moments in our grief to smile and remember the good times we all shared as a family.
The entire experience has made our family tight...we're as close as we've ever been. This is me 8 weeks after the fact finding the silver lining in this very difficult moment in time.
Bless you and your family today. It's never easy.
@@loki3292 I went through that when my mom passed away 7 years ago. I'm the only relative left. I have all the stuff she didn't sell when she moved into a senior living home 12 years before. A lot I'd have like to had. Five years later, she moved in with my husband and me. She'd run out of money to stay there at $5,000 a month. She had a stroke while we were out shopping. Earlier we'd taken her out to dinner, which she loved. She wanted to go with us shopping. It was very late after 11.00 and we were renting a vehicle because we didn't have one. Something we did once a month to go to the laundry mat, get groceries, go out. The rest of the month we took the bus. When we got back around midnight she was unable to respond. Called 911 and they took her to the hospital. The doctors said there was nothing they could do. I never got to say anything to her. She had Alzhiemers but for a while she had been getting better. After seven years it hasn't gotten any better. She was 96 so I guess I had enough time but it doesn't feel that way. I too have a dog that helps me through the rough days. She's an Aussie. I got her about the same week my mom died. She turned seven last December. She was ten weeks old when I saw her at Pet land. We've been tight ever since.
@@beekind466 My condolences on your loss. May you and your family continue to find comfort with each other. 💔
Guamby Guambelle thank you..you're so sweet to add such a lovely thought to the thread. ❤
Makes you think ! We're all just passing through this world nothing really belongs to us .it all just stays behind.kinda sad!
We're all just temporary beings.
I often think about that. Just that I'm here for such a brief period of time and then I'll never be again. And I'm very doubtful of any afterlife preserving my soul / individuality / identity.
Only our deeds we will take with us 👏🏻🙌🏼
Good : with all this hate in this world it’s changing so quickly
No one gets out alive....
Its so sad how we can become forgotten literally overnight. May grandma rest in peace, wherever she is.
Thank you for being so respectful to their home. It was a home and meant so much to someone.
Makes you think, what is really important. we work so hard for things like that .but in the end it doesn't mean anything.
Wayne Cook The end is the end. Enjoy the ride though while you can.
Very well said
True hey ?
Its just stuff!

While it's sad to see a house like this abandoned, I just want to say how much I appreciate your compassion while exploring these properties: for instance putting that newspaper clipping right back where you found it, the emotion in your voice when you asked, "Didnt this person have children, geandchildren?" and your kindness in opening the window to help the bird, encouraging him and your excitement when he made it out. In the videos I've seen you strike me as a really kind person.
I like the " We Love Mom" heart shaped plaque on the wall. Ironic isn't it? They love her so much, all her personal belongings, pictures and memories are left to rot, be looted and ransacked, and collapses into the ground while it all gets slowly destroyed.
Very sad.
:(
It’s so sad. This house must be filled with love & laughter in the past.
Where are the graves.There were the smiling life.
I'm overwhelmed by sadness watching this.
Don’t be, it’s a natural fact of life. I can imagine what might have happened (based solely on personal experience of my family). The presence of woman’s clothing, but not a man’s clothing, suggests that she might have been the first to go. Assuming these was a farm (and one that their heirs did not to farm) , the heirs either took the man to live with them or he went to a retirement home. Farms put all the buildings (houses, barns, etc) together. The farm was probably sold to a neighbour, who had now need of the buildings. A cousin of mine bought an old farm and that happened. The old woman did not want to stay after her husband died. She packed suitcases and left with her daughter. Tempus fugit.
@@markhadlington2025 Or, more likely, the husband died long before her.
Me too!
Whether we like it or not . . . 'here today, gone tomorrow' ! One would like to freeze time . . . however, that's not possible !

So good to see the younger generation that respects and appreciates places like this. You are awesome! Thank you, and keep up the awesome videos!!
Kristen Larcade it’s good that he is but he is trespassing
Kristen Larcade Yes that is true. But where are the people in her life for whom those old photos would have had meaning? We all want to be remembered. She would have wanted to be remembered. This video honored her by recognizing the beauty and poignancy of her treasures and of her passing.
S Carn isn’t that every urban explorer
Legion 57 idiot
The woodwork in that house is beautiful.
I agree. I’ve always liked wood paneling from the 1960s.
4:56 that's an old pedal cranked singer sewing machine that predates world war 2,they were made in Glasgow Scotland 🏴 , the factory was turned over to make machine guns during World War 2 then closed down at the end of the war and never turned out a single sewing machine ever again.
My late grandmother had one of those singers, it was an ornament.
I remember when I was a young child seeing it, the little drawers on the sides with sewing spares and spools of thread in them..
When my grandmother passed away in 1992 my grandfather took it out into the back yard and burned it as he couldn't bear to look at it in the corner of the Livingroom..
This must have been brought to the US by someone many years ago as I don't think they exported any there (sewing machine era around 1925-1940)
"We love you Mom" ahhh this episode is truly heartbreaking anyway, not creepy at all
Seeing her glasses on the nightstand made me feel sad. 🥺
The stuff is exactly like 70s and 80s of my childhood, especially at my Nan’s.
This one really broke my heart. Having lost my mom 3 years ago, going into my moms house, time was frozen. Makes me sad to see no one cared to claim
Photos or relics.
I just don't understand how family totally abandon a family home??? Sad
And....it happens a lot!! Really sad!!!!
Probably couldn't afford to keep it.
@@jazmynbrown6820 but wondering why they didn't take those photoalbums or other stuff?
@@coffeemakerbottomcracked Yeah, it makes me wonder too.
Too sad. Even the family photos is being left
There was a LOT of love in that first house. Grandma definitely loved her fam. Very sweet. Wonder what happened.
I know, right...?
This is the first time I have watched one of your videos. I was touched by the respect you showed while going through the house. Putting things back the way you found them. Helping the little bird. I liked and subscribed. 😊
I said the same thing about them. They are so respectful. I have viewed other urban explorers but I always come back to these guys. Their they best!!
I loved Grandma's house. I would love to go through all her things. I am 76 and have many of my grandma's antiques and Mom's and mine. All antiques and memories. My police officer husband just passed away and our son will get everything and he loves all of it.
Linda Uribe ...Glad to know your son shares an interest in the things you love.
Thank you for being so respectful of the property, and in the terms that you used to describe the previous owners.👍👍👍
The house feels sad.. As tho it's waiting for their return..
😯😟
I agree. I know some people don't have family, so what do u do?
Lorelei Hebdon Yeah, those chairs look so comfy, paitiently waiting to embrace some weary traveler.
Comments like this makes me wonder what the fuck is wrong with ppl today. Fuk you mean "the house feels sad?" Da fuk? If you feel shit thru your phone,YOU are a frickn android! Your emotional behind a kid filming an abandoned house! What EVEN crazier,if i told you go kill your self you'd consider the shit huh??? Go put the phone in some fukn water NOW! Disconnect. Now! A.S.A.P
@@louisgreen3205 dont be mad at little thing.. Are u ok?
Makes you think how many Christmas’s thanksgivings and holidays were spent in that house. So so sad
I appreciate your sense of compassion at seeing this place as somewhere life was alive all those years ago. I am much older than you and it makes me cry to see Grandma's stuff left to rot. Her children didn't give a damn apparently or money problems got the best of them. Anyway, that phone and TV could have still been working in the 90s even though they are from the 70s. Thanks for the look and thanks for being respectful. You are witnessing what's left of the greatest generation's " stuff"...keep in mind, these items that look old to you were miraculous innovations to them. God bless.
this made me cry because it reminded me of my parents house...
Awwe the "junk drawer".
Damn this is so sad in some way, makes me think of death, that place was probably so lively once, so many memories made, so many conversations, arguments, and now it’s just lost to time, why no one took care of this house... it’s so intriguing.
Well no one want to live in haunted house

Felt so comfortable as you toured this home. The "mary jane shoes" in the suit case are actually valuable! To think, she most likely had an ambulance get her from a fall...possibly never recovered; hence no longer there. Possibly homestead was just left as is... because no one chose to claim it or keep it up. Yes, the wood was extremely clean!! & next to black mold. ( you said, I thought it at the same time!) Same with thinking it was a guest home. You truly make me smile, great young man you are! You two so extremely respectful of others belongings. Keep doing beautiful things with your channel
Awww that was nice of you freeing the little birdie.
I know right! :) ♡♡♡
I know!! You guys are awesome and so respectful and even more for helping that poor little bird!! Lol.
Literally sad watching this...the retro sentimentality, the abandoned belongings, the photos...a time capsule with nothing but memories...Bittersweet tragedy overall...
Omg?
Little advice for you camera men, always wear masks when you go in houses with black mold. You don't want that in your lungs.
You are absolutely right.Proper PPE and not walking on porches are my pet peeves about these videos.
now we got the covid19 fake, you can wear a mask until the end of your life ... inside ... outside ... nighttime ... of course we dont want want bad things in our lungs, but we also dont want senseless opinions in our brain ...
Corect
@@toko9633 still think its fake now that its almost a year later??
I just can't imagine that other family members wouldn't want things from an ancesters home. Especially pictures!
It's amazing that any house can sit that long without being foreclosed on or being trashed by vandals and scrappers
It may still be owned by someone. There’s two houses in my town like that, not in use, technically abandoned but owned by someone in the family.
Somebody *always* owns it, either the city, for unpaid taxes, or the bank, (although "grandma" likely had no more mortgage), or relatives, if the taxes are still being paid. It does look to me like someone had been coming every few months to clean it out, since it's dust free , but it also looks like some squatters or thieves went through a lot of rooms..
Being well hidden helps.
It's probably some place in the country.
It just warmed my heart when you guys helped the lil birdie out :)
I really love how respectful you are of every aspect of the places you go, you take nothing but beautiful footage and leave nothing to be lost in time. Thankyou for sharing these beautiful places, telling their stories and appreciating the world around us! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for being respectful and not vandalizing the house. It's sad to think that nobody in the family claimed anything. It was well taken care of.
So sad to see people's personal belongings just left to rot !! Even
Family pictures !! There isn't one family member that wanted them ??
Susan Dunn
No, what are we supposed to do with them exactly?
@@charlalar14 Well now let's see , you could display some like most families do and put some things away for future family members . There are people that love having some pictures and items from long gone family members ! There are things that are called antiques which a lot of people love also . There is such a thing called sentimentality which you apparently lack !
Susan Dunn
I don't know why you got all pissy at the end of your reply. Perhaps this grandmas family don't live near the house, moved country even. Perhaps they have their own pictures and keepsakes of grandma. Perhaps they have some sense of reality that they can't keep every bloody thing just because it belonged to grandma. It doesn't mean they don't know about sentimental values.
Oh must keep that cup because grandma drank from it, oh must keep that tv because grandma used to watch it, oh must keep that carpet because grandma used to walk on it. Either way I do agree that it is sad that her house has just been left to rot.
P.s I am actually very sentimental thank you, I do not lack that trait. However, I'll type it again... YOU CAN'T KEEP EVERYTHING 😊
@@charlalar14 amen!
@@susandunn3479 you cray.
When I was a kid, my parents split up and we moved. I was 11. Years later, after I got married, my husband, brother and I took a road trip back to the town where we used to live and the house was still there. Everything was exactly the way we left it the day we moved, right down to the cookies in the cookie jar.
We loaded up the car.
That must have been heartbreaking, remembering your parents, did u not think of selling the house.?
That's a great story, I wonder if the cookies were any good?
@@truethat8503 hehehe, obviously I brought the cookies in the cookie jar along (it was collectible and valuable) the cookies were like dust if you tried to break them, but they looked exactly like they did when they were freshly baked. My mother kept them for about 15 years after that and they pretty much disintegrated, so she threw them away.
@@prewgeeq7416 the house was demolished by the time we thought about that. Nobody would have cared to buy it. Nobody wants to live there. there's just a field of grass there now.
What happened to your father after you, your mother and brother moved? Did he just leave everything and setup a house elsewhere?
My heart goes out to this lady whose house this belonged to. You can feel her presence even though she’s gone. I can tell she was a gentle and kind old woman who loved her family. Everything you showed here clearly was exemplified that and this is your only video that I’ve watched of your channel that made me want to cry. I wish this woman’s family treasured her belongings. It’s just not fair. Thank you for treating it with respect.
The Woodwork Is Just Gorgeous..wow..Stay Safe..
Love how you helped the bird out and how you respect people’s properties and their privacy keep up the good work x 🙂 you’re a credit to the younger generation, Joanne, England
It's always heartbreaking to see something so loved and tended die a neglected and forgotten death. I hope the lady who lived there had a kinder ending.
About 30 seconds into this vid, it hit me that the person who lives in this house, stepped out to run some errands...
Why is it so dust free. Looks like some one must cleaning once in awhile
Most dust is people.
I noticed that too. My house has more dust in a week than that house after 17 years.
It could possibly still be in probate, especially if she left no will. Death brings out the worst in families. It reminds me of my grandma. I really miss my grandparents and my mom.
Yes when house is on probate nothing can be removed.lf the family doesn't or can't afford taxes etc. the state gets it and it just sits and rots.
StateOfDisorder I’m so sorry for your loss. My family is gone too. No matter how long, they are missed forever 🙏🏻
Sofia dober thank you hun, it’s still fresh too, my mom died suddenly on Feb 13. She was my world.
@stateofdisaster you're totally right. I was young when my grandparents passed. I think my maternal grandparents had a will but, 2 of my aunts changed the locks on my grandparents condo preventing my mom and her one sister who lived there at one point from getting in. My mom was lucky to get a few things but her sister got the rest.
My paternal grandmother had an apartment and my dad's sister and aunt were all killed in the same car accident as my grandma so we were her only living immediate family and were able to keep whatever we wanted from her apartment.
@stateofDisorder Sorry for the loss of your mom. Sudden deaths are often the hardest. I had my mom until I was 65. I am grateful for that. I hope you can find someone to talk to about your mom. It can help a lot.
Helping the bird get outside was my favorite part. I love your spirt. You're obviously very caring :)
She kept stuff clean. Bless her heart.
Thank you for always being so respectful of the places you visit.
I’m always so intrigued as to why places are left abandoned like this. Very cool explore. Thanks for sharing!
a lot of times, it gets held up in family disputes and they're not allowed to enter during that time... the case costs more than the house is worth, both sides give up, and the bank ends up taking it
I'm intrigued too and sometimes a little sad. I always hope that the people who lived there were happy.
Me to.
@ Krista C, when my parents died we didn't know what to do with the house, it was full of our memories of growing up, we knew how much my parents loves that house and how hard they had worked to get it . We were in a quandary, none of us wanted to live there as we have our own homes but we don't stand the thought of someone going on and gutting it to modernize it to today's standards. So there it sits, my brother mows the grass and keeps an eye on the place in general.
To the families they are more than just houses, they are all we have left of our past , of who we are. Some families just can't let them go but being in them is too emotional.
Omg such a beautiful home even in its worst state you can see it was a home filled with love , and granny was very wealthy judging by all the land , it just makes no sense to me how everything is just left , even all those photos of such memory's its kind of disturbing don't you think really tugs at my heart . Thankyou both for showing us round and for being so respectful bless your lovely hearts . Xx
Can never get enough houses like this, the retro items throughout and the mystery of what happened never wears out. Another great find.
The black box @7:41 is an analog Ohm Meter Made by Precision Apparatus. The “Name tape” with Elmer Beale on it is very likely the owner of that meter. That practice of putting you name on your tools with a name tape was common practice in years past in an industrial or construction trade. I don’t even know if they make those name tape guns any longer. A meter like that would have been used by an instrumentation tech or possibly an electrician. I also recall seeing a sign in the attic of the garage with name Beale on it, though I couldn’t read what it said. Highly probable that’s the name of the man/family that lived there. I have a Simpson meter just like it with my name on it with the same type name tape, same color too. Also let me say thank you for being respectful to the memories of those who lived where you now explore. That alone says a lot to your personal character! As you were.
She definitely died unexpectedly from the looks of the house and the dead plants hanging.So sad.Thanks for the video and risking your own life with the unexpected exploring you explorers do for us viewers.Thank you again🤗
So sad. I can understand that what is one person treasure may not be yours. But to leave all those photos, omg the stories in the pictures. The clothes and furniture could have helped so many. It is just so heartbreaking.
Wow, credit to you guys for being so respectful of the property. I'd never be a vandal, but I'd be so tempted to give that mixer a new home...
I saw that too!!
Yeah right, that vintage music player wasn’t dusty at all.
Yeah, I bet if he flipped a switch the lights would come on. No dust ,no cobwebs, no trace of insects or rodents. I'm with you here, this is bs
@@MrsShocoTaco So what exactly do you think he did, then...? Come here into a wrecked house in the middle of nowhere (that he purposefully messed up for the sake of UA-cam views), furnished it with a bunch of vintage shit, random photos, etc?
Johana D. Gonzalez Padilla I saw that also
Intriguing! And oh so very sad, thanks for respecting the property. I can’t imagine why family didn’t claim the treasure trove of photos
I LOVE how you respected this place & let the bird go too. I always love watching videos like this time capsule. I am subscribed to your channel. I will be watching many more! God bless you!
I came here to say this same thing!
This makes me so sad. All those pictures and history just tossed away.
it does make us wonder how valuable memories get forgoten
Judging by the walls, furniture, tv , carpet.
Probably 70s.
I agree Dave B.B. looks very 1970s spice rack.cassette tapes.blender looks older .the tablets would have a name and date hey.
I would say early 1980's with the 8-track tapes, and the TV.
Late 70s early 80s. 8 track tapes and Slim Whitman album. Shame that no one wants that house.
@@prn24 With all the homeless families out there today, why doesn't the dam government step in and give the house to some poor homeless family to maintain instead of just letting a great piece of property rot away like this?
For a place that's been "abandoned" for so long, it sure is clean and dust-free!
dust is human skin cells, so if it's closed up and nobody is in there moving around, no dust will be created.
Why are there no spider webs?
Yes. Just what I was thinking. Also dust is caused by many things including pollen that comes through open windows or doors. We already know the windows were open as we seen with the bird who flew in and was eventually guided out. A big wtg on that one. Anyway Apparently someone was in there long enough to ransack it as he said. Just sad on so many levels.
Did you see the mold tho on the walls?
Also, there are no mice droppings or other dead animals. We had relatives with an old cabin and after we opened it up after just one winter it would have dead mice, droppings, and other signs of little critters getting in or trying to....and yes, there were always cobwebs and dust.
so so sad, I'm like you, how could someone just leave everything there especially pictures.
I will never understand how this happens to anyone, unless they have NO family or friends. Heartbreaking
The blender, next to the stove, was manufactured by Hamilton Beach. I was given one, same color, by an older relative. Still works and can produce awesome frozen daiquiris. The architectural style of the home is still in high demand today and if the foundation is solid and the price is right, well worth saving. As for mold, get a mask, some Clorox and clean it up.
Good Find, Cheers
I'd love to get my hands on the blender next to the stove. I had one and unfortunately it died and have not been able to fin a replacement. :-(
Bleach does not kill black mold.
@@MEGA.CHUNGUS I stand corrected. Bleach may clean the surface but due to its chemical components it does not absorb into porous surfaces therefore causing excess moisture. Hence the root of the problem still exists and the growth actually accelerates. I actually used the term bleach or Clorox metaphorically.

You knew the family? Interesting! Why is house left alone?
Yes, please. What happened to her?
Do tell why the house was abandoned
sofuggit 🥰 awwwww
Legion 57 maybe the rest of the family didn’t went to the old house, just the rehabilitation center (???))
I came across your channel today and you've gained another subscriber! I must say I love not only your videos, but the way they are done and the way you have huge respect for the history of the places.
I adore that you respect the place by not relieving the location and by not taking or touching anything there. Love that your videos takes us back in time :)
The decor is kinda 60s, but we had stuff like rotary phones and console TVs in the 80s. Those natural wood doors with the crystal doorknobs are gorgeous!!!
I remember a doorknob like that on my grandmother's pantry door. As a kid I was fascinated by it.
SweetCincy1 decor is more like the late 70s to 80s. The main house did have a few things from the 90s.
Our house has the same glass door knobs with the original old keys to lock them.
@@meiraloraduncan8953 I actually LOVE that sofa, wish I could buy it :)
@@ficklepickle5346 My mom had the same sofa and loveseat in the 90s
Reminds me of my grandma's old house before she died. It seems awfully clean to be abandoned since 04.
Maybe it was in probate, and the family was keeping it up until recently?
It was staged by the trespasser.
I love the sad music. It reminds me my life is slipping away and my experiences forgotten... and will be abandoned in time...
How sad. Breaks my heart to see so many memories just left abandon.
Thank you for being respectful of the items in the house. Everything there is the remnants of someone's life. Everything from images on the wall that say I love you mom, to photos of the family from years ago. Someone's life was there. Sad to see it sitting and going to waste.
There was a cross stitch downstairs in the first house that said We Love You Mom, so the person had family. That's what's so strange and really sad. Great video. Love the respect you show.
i agree i love watching these BECAUSE he seems to have so much respect for the items left behind and the people who left it... as you can see from the comments, people are reminded that only people matter. and where and why did family go great videos! keep up the good work
That home (main) has wonderful potential. Love the wooden floors and the matching doors. It would be so easy to update
I'm laughing at how you talk about the phone and TV as old electronics. I'm not even 30 and I remember having some of those items. 🤣
Whoever lived here loved here and was loved. It looks like wonderful memories must have been made here. Such nice young guys you are too to worry about the bird. 👍
It’s wonderful that you treat these properties with such respect.
Thanks for sharing with us and thank you for helping the bird.
I’ve always liked houses with decor from the 60, 70s, and 80s. Just gives a humble feeling especially considering this is a grandmothers house.
I keep coming back to this video. It reminds me so much of my Grams house.♥️
This makes me teary-eyed, this house is so loving and full of life, and yet there is no one left to enjoy or even remember the loving memories that filled those walls. The fact that the house sat for 15 years unclaimed is truly heartbreaking. This is unlike many other abandoned journeys because this really tugs at the heartstrings. Imagine being that old woman sitting in that uplifting and comfortable nest she made with memories, family and the passage of time. All while knowing that one day she will die and there will be no one there to claim the haven she had spent her whole life making. Every photograph is a glimpse into their lives, and there is no one to hold onto those memories anymore and it just leaves an empty story that cries in black mold, dust and neglect.
The cane by the rocking chair made me so sad. In my family grandma's chair is a priceless treasure, along with all of the photos.
TFS! When I see the nostalgic things. The everyday living of yester year. Takes me back..
☮️✌🏾
Very sad to watch. Elderly person could have been in a nursing home also for years. Sometimes the nursing home takes possession of the person's home and property.
Well that did not happen in this case.
What an amazing place, so many memories left behind. And as you say,a journey to the past. This video is a precious jewel, so untouched and in good condition. Well done Devin 🌹
Wow, for being abandoned for 15 years it looks amazingly clean, it's almost like somebody still lives there?
I was thinking the same...
Not a bit of dust anywhere...
Definitely druggies
These houses have been staged for the videos because if truly abandoned it would have tons of dust and cobwebs after only a year or two let alone 14-15 years. Plus in a different video the guy talking thanks the other one for getting the shots and he had staged a suitcase and a few things on the bed and moved a dressmaker ‘s dummy into the middle of the floor. When they were helping the bird why did the one guy have a camera on a tripod pointing at the sink and window. If you’re exploring an abandoned house or whatever you don’t typically bring a tripod. Plus when you look at how things are carefully placed like what you see in movies or magazines that’s not how your everyday person does things. Him commenting on the door being open made me laugh because you could clearly see that it hadn’t been open for very long and why hadn’t we seen the other guy before they were in the last house and helping the bird.
@@meiraloraduncan8953 I wondered too when i saw the suitcases together and opened up like that and the end table open exposing family pictures.
Because of your quiet respect for the memories left behind, and your saving of that little bird... You've gaind a new subscriber.
Man, that Kitchen Aid mixer and the flip clock would have left with me. Lol
did anyone else see that sword/knife next to the doll on the bed?
@@itsmyparty4637 -
That's an iron for neckties. Pause the video, and you'll see the cord coming out the handle.
You might take some spooks with you if you take something 😂
Same
Yep, I just commented. My wife's in the market for one now.
