STORY
This abandoned mansion stands tall and proud, a relic of the hard work and determination of the Sinquett family. As we walked through its halls, the eerie feeling that lingered in the air was undeniable. Our task was to document and catalog the contents of the house, but as we delved deeper, we uncovered the captivating story of the family that once called it home.
Carrie Sinquett, a fierce single mother, raised her three children, Ken, Sue, and Samantha, within these walls. Despite the numerous obstacles she faced, she never wavered in her commitment to her family. She worked tirelessly as a laboratory assistant in Mobile while also single-handedly running the household. Her unwavering love and guidance were the backbone of her children's upbringing.
As the children grew older and left the nest, Carrie found herself alone in the house. Medical documents and a health card addressed to Carrie, were found leading us to believe that she was in poor health and possibly passed away. The last date we found inside the house was September 24, 2010, and her fate after that remains a mystery.
The house now remains empty, a silent witness to the life of the Sinquett family. Its walls hold secrets and memories that will forever remain untold. We couldn't help but wonder what happened to Carrie and what other secrets the households had. Join us as we take you on a journey through this abandoned mansion and uncover the story of the Sinquett family.

#abandoned #exploring #explore
It's just sad to think that a mother or father will be left alone in their old age.
Leslie, I could listen to you talk all day, lol. Love your explorations and the stories behind them. I wonder why her children left all those memories behind to rot away.
probably cause they didn't care or they couldn't bare it but in that matter they could have taken at least something 🤷 🙃 of their parents with them
she had a beautiful house and she kept it up
I read Carrie Siquett's obituary online. She left this house in 2014 at age 96 and died in a nursing home at age 98 in 2016. She and her husband had been married for more than 50 years when he passed away. She had three children: Nancy, Joan, and Frank Jr. Many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Most of the info you shared was incorrect, but your video is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Here's a tip. If you find a name in the houses you explore, a Google search can often yield a trove of information you can share with your viewers.
I thought something was wrong. Her own children were probably in their 70s when she died. I still think it's sad nobody wanted any of the pictures. I do a lot of googling. It was a great tour, and he is very respectful.
@Rene Young Yes. He is always respectful. She died surrounded by family, according to her obituary. That photos get left behind is unthinkable.
Awe great information on the family! She lived long life
I wish he would look up these people. It’s so easy because I do the same thing after watching the videos.
@@annlyon.2040 I agree. It's easy to find the true story.
Hello Lesley, i look forward to another ELEGANT tour of yet another human's journey 😁! You and Danny are by far the best explorer's I've watched on UA-cam, and believe me when I say, I've watched A LOT 👥 Keep up the great work guys!!!
Leslie, you have such a soothing voice. I love your videos. In order for the record to play, it must be turned on and the record will drop automatically. You can stack several records on the cylinder. How in the world do you find the houses??? Be safe on your journeys.
She lived to age 98 and passed away in 2016 in a local nursing home. I found her obituary on line. The house actually was sold last December as it was part of her estate. The property records were on line also.
Merci pour ces renseignements 😊
Thanks for sharing these details
so the house and contents belong to someone and he must have to get permission to enter otherwise its trespassing, no?
Hey hey dear Lesley, bro, what an amazing story must be behind this house somewhere in the USA! - I am already very excited to hear more
from you and go in mind together through the rooms of this abandoned house. - The bedroom with some really beautiful vintage
furniture actually is looking so clean and cozy. It's very hard to imagine, that it is an abandoned location, when only seeing this bedroom.
So, I am very much looking forward to be once more part in one of your as always fascinating lifestreams. - Wishing you all the best,
peace and kindest regards from cold and snowy Switzerland.
Greetings Willy from Alabama USA!
The victrola will automatically work with electric an the large albums will play on it too ! Lol
@@careyh38 Hi Carey H, thank you so much. Kindest regards to you as well from Switzerland. Peace and stay safe!
@@willyegger4488 Hi Willy! My name is Pseudo Justin. I don't actually exist because I was just invented by a guy named Martin Homegardener. Nevertheless, I send you my best regards, also on behalf of my inventor! Stay safe and take care!
Leslie, hope I spelled your name right, thank you for bringing these stories to life. You do it so kind and respectfully. One of my favorites is your Grandpa's. God bless you and your camera man.
Very charming house and yes I agree, she had very good taste. Thank you both for sharing your adventure with us.
That blanket on sofa is for your arms when is cold. Most cold day to be cozy and warm.
There’s so many answers I can give you. Perhaps many have been answered here in the comments already. I enjoy your enthusiasm, Lesley! You’re the same age as my oldest son. 💕
The paper flowers we just hand on the wall ,the small heater is a disc heater kicks out a lot of heat
It's a record-changer
I still have one I inherited from my father! A Dual 1214. There were two inserts. One for 45's with a small hole and one insert for 45's with a large hole in the middle! Also a small metal pin if you didn't want to use the changer or wanted to play LP's
Baquardi mixer was added to alcohol drinks. Someone was a drinker and smoker. She seem to live a long life anyway. I love this house. Prestine in its time. Beds are still made beautifully. The knitted blanket cover would probably been from an older person. Children's pics in the room. Awesome video. Small records were called 45,s large ones were 78,s. The brush on the needle kept the dust off the record to keep the sound clear.
You are correct that the radio is a Grundig. That thing you thought was directors chair is an old fashioned army cot as we called them when I was a kid.

Hello love your videos thank you for the content
What a wonderful lady ,
I raised my 2 children alone i can feel along with her,
BOD keep those videos coming I'm enjoying them very much 😉
An interesting place with many beautiful family memories left behind ! I really like the playing records ! Thank you, Lesley, for this nice exploration!
hi Lesley, thank you for sharing. amazing house, just sad no one wants it. the smaller record player pays 45s. you could place several of them at one time on the center spindle. turn it on and it would automatically play one at a time. the larger records were 33s.
Great job as always!!! I hope you managed to turn off the attic light after the string broke! LOL
You can tell she bought the very best and was very particular.
Everything is in wonderful condition!
The stove in the basement was for heat in the basement,in case of a storm.The electric could be cut off and her and her children could go to the basement to stay warm.
i too am a fan of spiders, never kill them. if one is trapped in my bathtub i hang a towel over the side so they can have traction to get out. maybe i am weird, but anything that traps flies is a friend of mine!
The Life Chiropractic College is a degree in chiropractic care which means, if it was her degree, she was a Doctor of Chiropractic, DOC. It is a person who manipulated the spine to adjust it to be in alignment to alleviate pain. I’m sure if she ever practiced, it would be in her obituary. Or… it may be someone who resided there. I really enjoyed this exploration. Thank you!
In the attic, you found the camping cot. It's not a medical bed. Note: Carrie spent the last three years of her life in a nursing home. She died in 2016 at the age of 98. Before having to enter the nursing home, Carrie lived alone in her home for 25 years.
37:02 = They should have climbed up on something and turned that light off; it may eventually ignite/combust ... not cool
The cast iron stove used to heat the house....
- that fisrt room with the chandelier used to be the dinning room that she converted to her office area...
the 50 years of marriage figures were form their wedding anniversary❤️
; those fur animals look like mink(they multiple fast like rebbits);
when thr recoed player has power, the two buttons would retract to drop the record and the needle arm would swing over to play the record.(that size record is called 45 rpm)--imthink Carrie may have rented out the downstairs and made the upstairs her little apartment, this explains the kitchette🤔
Vraiment top😃😃😃
Me gusta mucho tus videos siempre que sea en español un abrazo desde Argentina
Diploma for Kerry PHD means she got a doctors degree (the highest you you can go in college.) usually 6-8 years of college.
The diploma was a joke from her chiropractor.
Many Americans had a kitchen in the basement. Especially Slovaks and Italians. Kept upstairs clean.
The small piano is a child's toy instrument. The record player-- when it is turned on, it will drop one record at a time. You can stack more than one record on the spindle, and it will play one at a time. I am surprised the electricity has not been turned off by the power company! Someone must still be paying the bill for it?
There 45s when turned on the record goes down
It drops the records automatically,These small records are ,45 rpm,but it also l
Plays 78rpm and 38d ..it is automatic and drops the records one at a time .

This is a great video I love the wall papper in the bathroom but I get bad vibes here you guys be careful stay safe.
I hope you realize that by showing her full name it's a simple matter to find her address on the internet. I'm sure there will be many visitors and vandals to the house in the near future. But I'm guessing that the place will be demolished in the near future and replaced with a cookie cutter sub-division similar to those surrounding it now. Awful location, right next to the NJ Turnpike. Carrie and her husband must have been upset when that was put in. Prime farmland keeps getting gobbled up by houses and roads.
That stove is a central heating wood stove for the house
Those records were 45s and 33rpm
AMERICAN, HISTORICAL HOMES HAVE CHANDLERS AND CRYSTAL WALL SCONES.
Formal Dinnig areas had beautiful Australian, European CRYSTAL Chandliers.
It seems, she might have gone into the hospital and passed.
The worse could ,be she got arrested for something and no one knew and she may have a heart attack and the police just didn't notify anyone.
So there should be a coroner report.
Has anyone tried to find her children. From her home belongings, she must have been in her 90's.
Many people died in their homes and if there was a family they just turned their heads.
So sad.That home has been abandoned for a long time.
They cover the couch for when they lay down for a nap they hsve a cover
No the covers are so when you lay down you can cover up
First the record player would be turned on. Next you would put the record on. (Leave the needle on its stand). I think you would touch a lever next. The record would drop, the the needle would move over to the record and play. I used to have records and players. It was so cool!! A person could put like 5 records on top of each other. Then each record would drop, play, then the next record would drop and play.❤❤
Hopefully you were able to turn off the attic light. Dont want the old wires to catch the house on fire.
Just discovered xplomo the other day. Nice that he left a message for others to find.
Hi Lesley, people puts blankets on the back of the coach so if they get cold they can just grab it and put it around them
Exactly! That's what I was going to tell Lesley, but I looked for this comment. 🙂
I cover my furniture because I have pets that shed or sleep on the couch and chairs. When someone comes over I take off the coverings and then the guests don't have fur all over them. Also a throw blanket handy if someone is cold.
The blanket over the antique couch serves a few purposes. First it acts as an accent to the piece of furniture. Secondly, if you're sitting there and get a chill you can simply pull the cover/blanket over you without having to get up.
The record player...yal made me crack up!!!! You can play both size records on the top one. You put the small record on, as you did, turn it on and it automatically drops and plays. The brush on the lower record player was to clean any dust off them. The red thing on the is removable to play the bigger records
LESLEY and DANNY, Thank you both for all the time and work you both put into these explores and videos. I pray for your safety and health in your travels to treat us with such visual beauty and amazement. Keep up the great work. Love, LIly
Hopefully, Ms. Carrie is resting in peace, wherever she is. ❤
I’m always confused why the grandkids or great grandchildren didn’t take the older antiques!
It’s so sad to see everything just rotting.
The cost of a home today is insane and someone should’ve inherited.
Unfortunately most people don't give a fat rats.They are only interested in the here and the now and mass produced consumerist modern garbage.No appreciation of quality or history.
depend where your work is, if its far away, then its not economical to live in that area. Also, a big house cost high maintenance, needs more hand to work or money to maintain. what if his was already sold? most children work in the city, thats why they will not come home to their house.
I don’t understand how houses like this are left abandoned. She obviously had children and grandchildren. Why would they not have an estate sale to sell the contents of the house, then sell the house to a new family that would love it and take care of it. Why would they just allow it to sit there and rot?
The animal furs you saw on the atms of the couch were actually mink stoles from the early 1900s. Women would wear them around their neck or shoulders over their coats. I remember as a child finding them in the closets of my great grandmother's house. She was a milliner in the late 1800- early 1900s
Gosh I didn’t know they where that old because I have one that I’ve had for 50 years.
Every time i watched these videos i turned sad because of the children that didn't save these beautiful houses, i understand totally that children when they grow they will have their lives but no one with them consider or think to renew the houses at least for the memories that holds or even for the family reunion on holidays. Children should consider these things because for me my parents and their house will be the precious home forever even i am not living in it. I do consider and think always for my mom and dad who worked so hard to have the house and i am really teaching my daughter at least to appreciate this in her life.
Her real name was Caroline, Carrie for short. I believe the photos shown were of her daughter Nancy. There is an obituary as others have said.
بحب اسلوبك في الكلام واحساسك بالمنازل التي تتواجد بها وحرصك عليها
ارجو كتابة الكلام باللغة العربية 🥰😍
Carrie (Caroline) died in 2016 at the blessed age of 98. Her husband died in 1988 aged 73. By then they already raised their children and the photos with the small children must be their grandchildren which correspondences with their grandchildren names in the obit. Te last years of her life she lived in an elderly care home.
@@BlueSky-LookingUp if 👎 not sad if they didn't
HI!!! The blankets on the backs of the couches are just for decoration. A lot of times women would get an Afghan blanket given to them and they display it on the back of the couch. When you tell the story of the people that lived in the houses you explore, really takes you back in your mind of how they lived. It is a beautiful story you tell us. Thank you for getting messy and walking into cobwebs!!!! 😉😉 It's just a shame that the families just leave these homes like this and not clean them out. There are a lot of heirlooms left behind. Have a great day!!!! (what country are you from?)
My grandparents in Ohio, USA, used to have a fireplace in the basement. Grandpa used to make metal chimes and grew cooking mushrooms down there and would light it to keep it warm while he worked. It was also lit when it was winter and the power went out. The animals were actually wrapped around your neck as a stoll. More than likely, the mouth opened up as a clamp to clamp on the tail. Great grandma a few of them. It was a symbol of money in the 1920s through 50s.
My grandmother had a mink stole and a full length coat (she was 5'11"). She was a model in New York in the 1920s.
@@softkitty775 oh my gosh! I would love to have seen her.
Hi Lesley & Danny, New Jersey, USA...Carrie her husband died, & she raised her 3 children & when they were old enough they left &
Carrie stayed in house till 2014 age 96 & then moved to Nursing Home & died age 98!!
I know in Belgium, things are different then USA! But when talking about items in house...the item first you said was Ventilator,
but No a Old Fan..probably 1950`s in the Basement! In Kitchen is Not Ventilator from Ceiling, it`s called Light & Ceiling Fan!!
The Beautiful Chandelier, yes hardly anyone has them in houses today, unless your a Millionaire!
All the clothes & things were Vandalism of people searching for Valuables!!
The small Piano was for Child to play till old enough to play on Big Piano! Beautiful Big Piano!!
Loved the Acrylic Painting of Ducks flying! Blankets are tossed on couches as Decorations, they still do that now 2023!!
The Children`s pictures in the Snow Globes, still sell today especially Amazon online store & all it needs is water filled, it
unscrew at bottom, to either fill with water or change pictures! The Paper Wreath was Not for Funeral, it was a Decoration!
Small Black Box is a Personal Heater, for maybe at desk or in bathroom!
In Bathroom, was a Washcloth for Face hanging on the Sink, Not a Towel!
On Bed was a Handmade Crochet Blanket, someone made for her!
Small Record Player is for Records called 45`s, & tiny brush is to clean dust from records!
Bedroom where you found Sewing Box, Sewing Machine Cabinet was under TV...You Missed It!
Attic, but changed into rooms, Girl Scout Bed is also called Cot from Military times to homeowners having it!
So many things can be Sold for the Children Now Adults, or if Bank pulls it, they will sell furniture & sell house!
Thanks Lesley & Danny for sharing this Beautiful Abandoned House In USA, take care & stay safe!!
Love from Central Illinois USA🥰😎❤
Looks like Carrie May have inherited the house from her parents.
Furniture combined from ‘40/50’s and
Furniture from Carries adulthood ‘70s.
And it still has power wow someone is paying fo that
What a lovely lady and tidy house. It needs life and love so bad. Somebody please buy and appreciate it again! You all did another beautiful job on this one and welcome to the US. Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi are full of these. But please be careful. Love y'all! 🧡 🙏
So sad that the lady was left alone in her later years why don't family take the photos instead of leaving them behind great film guys thank you for sharing.
Piano is child’s toy. The word Homely means ugly.. the word you want is homey (home like). Blankets cover to protect. She may have used the blanket to cover while sitting in her spot to keep warm. What you call ventilator we call a fan. 45 rpm (revolutions per minute) 50’s & 60’s music (Elvis Presley) record player.
I love Lesley’s heart felt emotion when he tries to piece together the lives that may have thrived in these homes. No one could know for sure what took place unless they were there, of course, so I find the loving outlook he always lays on top of his narration is heartwarming. For me it just adds a humanity and empathy to the situation. Maybe the details aren’t always spot on but you can tell he cares about what he is seeing. :)❤
I love how you treat these properties and the memories of the former occupants with such respect. I also love how you weave a story about these people as you go along. You are my favorite explorer. Keep up the good work!
It’s amazing to me all the things people leave behind
Why would her children let their mother's home, possessions, accomplishments, memories....go to dust. I find this very sad
Her obituary is actually very detailed and full of info
Hi Lesley! I have missed you and REALLY hate that I missed you here in the USA. Did you know they had Lisa Marie Presley's funeral today at Graceland? It was so sad. She is with her father Elvis now.
I get so depressed watching these but yet they are so wonderful. Hard to think of the lives that lived there, no longer there or among us. Life is so strange. Here and gone. Your stuff end up on eBay or in a yard sale all you’ve worked for. 50 years down the road you are forgotten.
My god, this is exactly how I feel.
Your last sentence feels me sadness and dread.
@@rdred8693 Such is life. We're nothing but a speck of dust in the universe.
the little piano is a toy. I had a similar one growing up, and my brother and I would play songs on it. It probably belonged to one of her grand children.
Hello Lesley 😀 I can't wait to see this amazing story of Ms. Carrie. 🎉. Super documentary on Ms. Carrie. Beautiful antique furniture and sad that the kids didn't want this beautiful house. Thank you for the tour of her house.
I can never understand why things were just left to rot or deteriorate instead of donating to a worthy cause .
Hi Leslie you are so lovely and carefully with the things you do , I adore the respect you have and shows for the others things 🙌☺️
Someone has to be paying the utility bills for the power to still be on in these houses.
Those record players were invented by RCA in the late 1940's to specifically play 7" 45rpm records that RCA also invented. You put a stack of records on the red adapter and press the start button and the records will drop automatically after one finishes playing. The ones in that house are from the early fifties and usually valuable.
25:05 those record players were made to stack several records. When you turn it on, the first record drops down and the arm would move over the record and drop into place and start playing. When it finished playing, the arm would lift, return to starting position and the next record would drop down.
36:16 camping cot
4:45 The things you thought were roots coming down from the basement ceiling, could be a wood eating bug infestation. If you notice the wood behind it, there seems to be wood eating pest trails. Maybe termites, wood lice, or carpenter ants. Not sure, but it does look suspicious. With all the water in the home, it would not surprise me. Just a guess though. Love your videos, I have been watching since the beginning. You have come a long way, and the quality of your work shows how much you have grown. The care you take with each home, is a wonderful experience for those of us watching. We are on the journey with you. Each explore shows how professional you have become. It is obvious you love your work. I appreciate that you take the time to learn about the owners and tell their stories as you show their homes. Great job. God Bless
I am sure of this: that in the family there was a struggle between the mother and her internal disgusting privileges of rudeness on the side of her children.
- The children most likely were looking forward to their adulthood and tried to quickly leave this boring house of torture from their abnormal mother.
- THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME: when a woman is offended and dissatisfied with her state of mind, limiting herself to the sphere of her work and raising her children in the norm of her senile, psychologically unsettled, abandoned inner world.
- When a woman is left alone and considers herself not needed by anyone... then she creates a huge mess and fuss in the family: she does both herself and her children a lot of bad things, so that the children leave such a so-called home and parent forever and never give a sign his detachment towards his once natural mother.
- They never needed her and then too!
- This is how family beginnings end... the end - for all such families... is the same: old age, illness, indestructible insidious loneliness and uselessness... and goes into oblivion by everyone - into another world.
- You can find out the history of this family from your neighbors, because some of them know exactly the history of this so-called family.
The 45 rpm record was invented by RCA Victor, meant to compete with Columbia's 33 rpm - it was a format war! Those players were made to play 45s exclusively, and are collected and restored by enthusiasts today. Some consoles from that era like that one would include two record players: one to play 33 and 78 rpm records, and another lime the ones you found. One variation was a detachable, 45 rpm turntable that worked in tabdem with a 33rpm turntable.
It’s a pity... that this is happening: and as we see... all the neighbors of this house also don’t care what happens to the house in the future.
- I would contact all the realtors who are in this district of the state. In order for any of them to become interested in its resuscitation: it is to remove everything that is rotten and in the same place to build a new, enlightening building for new residents.
- This would be especially interesting for Russian and Ukrainian realtors; Americans have little guts for such resuscitation steps.
- I wonder...why has no one yet started demolishing this house and building new housing on this site?
- After all, there are always construction companies around that would earn money from this in their favor.
It allways amazes me how fast things get into decay. It shows we need to keep a house warm and dry, otherwise the wooden floors and ceilings can get rotten, and the house falls apart. Thank you for honoring the people who lived there. I can't but also feel sad of how time passes by and people are no longer among us, only the house and pictures to remind us..Carrie must have been a remarkable woman, raising up three kids on her own...thx again!!
Those weasels on the armrests were fashion accessories seen on old ladies around the neck over or attached to the collars. I remember my grandmother etc had these animals on their shoulders up until the '50s.
The 45 rpm record player is designed to hold a stack of records 10-15? It automatically releases one when the two buttons self retract into the cylinder then plays that side ..the arm moves back drops next then moves in to play until all are in a pile. You then pull the stack up and the buttons have a rounded edge on bottom making it easy to pull off. You then turn the stack upside down and play the other sides. This gives you your own small jukebox playing for a long time. You have to pull off the tall cylinder to just play single 45s.
The brand of the radio is Grundig. A very well known old German brand that still consists.
She probably kept her clothing in other closets because the closets in bedrooms back then we're small. She probably didn't have enough room to keep them all in her bedroom
Oh, sorry,my bad. The beautiful afghan is on the snowy white mattress! I thought there was a spread on the bed.
Maybe a stove in the basement kept the pipes from freezing and bursting. The hot water heater is in the basement so maybe it kept the hot water heater from freezing up.
It's a damn shame that people cannot leave things thevway they find them. People always gotta be rummaging and trashing these places.
What a lovely home from a loving mother!
Why didn't hee children take charge of the house and sale it to someone else? Nice looking house and furniture.
Brother Lesley and Danny please a request please please take care of yourself also wear the mask also it’s good you have gloves but please careful for your health , the way you described things super , as a request again take care of yourself, all the best
What a cozy house 🏠. I enjoyed this explore. RIP 😞 😔 😢 🙏 🕊 ☮ Carrie and her husband.
I decided to look up this lady's name and Just found out she literally liveslived just 5 minutes down the road from me. I'm definitely gonna be going By the house to check it out this afternoon! I was not expecting For this to be So close to home for me!
People put blankets over the back of a sofa for when if someone fell asleep on the sofa they could easily cover them up
i am so happy can watched this amazing explores with Bros of Decay with Danny too...Happy New Year 2023...
Everything looks clean despite the long neglect of years.
