I know exactly how this comes to be. I lost my husband of 23 years 6 months ago I never had children of my own he had 2 when we married. The things we built and collected over the years don't matter anymore. We were so proud to build our own house ourselves, and now I am surrounded with his image in every corner. It is so hard to care about something when the best part of you is gone. It feels like I'm just awaiting my turn. So sorry to be such a sad sack, but the first ten minutes brought me to tears.
Oh Becky, your post made me so sad. I know exactly how you feel. Losing the love of your life is horrible. Your not being a”sad sack” your just being human, hopefully you have people around you who can soften your loss just a tiny bit. These videos are always so enlightening into how as human beings we collect material things and gladly surround ourselves with them but at the end of the day it is the story of the people that is most important. Take care sweetheart. Surround yourself with the friends and family who can help you rejoice in your late husband’s life after all he must have done much much more in life than pass away !
@@beckyfarley60 i understand 100% I also have no children, my father who was my everything passed away 4 years ago and my mother is a narcissist and out to see me ruined along with my husband. There’s Not a moment of every day thatI don’t miss my dad I miss his guidance , friendship and love . But I know he is surrounding me with his spiritual love until we meet again. Take care xx
I've held back until now. I've watched hundreds of explore videos and it is true...the children grow up move away and then a spouse passes and you have a shell you call home. Nothing prepares you for the feelings of having your memories of them stare you in the face day after day. You end up in a dark place if you have no one who cares. So the dishes don't get done dusting neglected and then you too pass. Go out and live life ...don't collects things just memories.
The bowl and jug in the rooms were for "washing" before bed and in the morning, the jug would have warm water in it and you would pour it into the dish and use a washcloth to wipe over your hands, face, neck, armpits and feet when showers weren't a thing, and people would bathe only once a week because there wasn't running hot water they'd have to boil water on the fire to fill a bath then usually the whole family would take turns in the same bath water (yuck) sooo the jug and bowl were essentially for washing in between baths that's why each room had one cause you'd just do it in your room not the bathroom... weird and gross but that's what they had to do back in that era. I hope this helps answer that for you 😉
@@Samandjessexplore yeah I don't think I would have faired well back then! Haha and the only reason I know that is because my grandparents were from the UK and they had them as display pieces in this house in Australia (where I'm from) in each bedroom ❤ LOVE your content guys, keep up the awesome work xx
I can remember the year of my first bathroom , and even an indoor toilet, maybe 1968/9. Previously the toilet was a shed down the road over a hole in the ground. Some kind soul ripped up squares of newspaper to use as loo paper and stuck them on a nail. If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown nip into town.
The evolution of aging and loneliness. You can tell it like many you show were once immaculate. Im watching my parent go thru this exact thing. The house was always spotless and immaculate ant as we all moved away they slowly start hoarding things and stop cleaning from old and tired and a bit sad and lonely. It slowly everyday looks like this and they don't want help they don't like feeling a burden. Or their lifelong mate passes away and they slowly give up and stop cleaning and they start compiling everything
Very sad truth Cindy 😞 Sorry to hear this, its a very hard time in life 😔 Horrible to think of someone struggling alone here, amongst all that stuff 😰 Shame to see this beautiful house go to ruin too. Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
This is exactly what I have seen in the elderly . I am now having health problems and there are days I am unable to do my daily work on keeping my house spotless. I also inherited many things from my parents and in- laws that I didn’t need but it hurt to let them go. I am now in the process of letting things go so my children don’t end up having to be overcrowded in their homes. I’ve realized we can’t always keep things but I will sell or donate the things . This is so sad to let all the beautiful furniture and collectibles just rot or be broken. Someone could love and enjoy having them. Also does the son live on this acreage? If he does looks like he would hire someone to auction off the valuables.
@@mimicontent5291 I have fibromyalgia and arthritis though out my body. I get real weak and just 63, most things are left sitting out and hardly get cleaned. I will probably hire someone to come in a couple times a week an clean later. I have to fix my house as it needs repaired before winter now.
That's exactly what happened with my parents. Dad filled up the house with newspapers and old clothes etc. It took him years to do it. Now both parents are dead and we are trying to clean out the house . So far we have filled 2 dumpsters ( 20 yards each) and have only cleared the living room and hallway. It's not a big house but it was 2 feet deep junk on the floors and no trails. They always refused help and got angry if we touched anything. It's hard getting m old tired and sick
A beautiful space of history that needs healing and lots of cleansing and sunlight. I hope the son finds peace and consolation. Grief is such a hard journey to travel. 💞
What a pity that so many beautiful things have been left abandoned in this house. Much of this should be saved and cherished once again. Unfortunately the back stories of these locations are often sad ones. This has been a lovely home at one time. Now it is a real time warp. Love the way you put lots of time into your explores with great commentaries in them. Another winning video Sam and Jess
Other explorers did this recently but their filming style is too fast and does not allow the viewer to see fine detail. Thanks for stopping the camera at key points as opposed to a quick pan around the room.
Scot-Irish Hillbilly here...ancestors since 1740s, Virginia & Kentucky....We were so poor no animal parts would have been left.....I became 'civilized' after reading Huckleberry Finn', & moved to remote Montana....new subscriber here!
The pitchers and bowls on the dressers in the rooms are old wash basins. They would fill the pitchers in the morning and set out in their rooms to warm. They would fill the bowls to wash themselves. And toss the water out the window!
He may board up the place but I think it's a shame he doesn't rescue what is saleable and see it goes to those who would cherish the pieces. The end result of boarding it up will be the collapse of it and everything inside will be smashed to pieces. Just saying....thanks for sharing, I love your videos.
looks like my house when I first got it. 1820. Only had one round pin socket for electric. Just replaced the outside toilet seat today in the outhouse where I lived for 3 years when I first got it in 1996. Enjoy the little things.
What a once fantastic home. And the story of the son living in a caravan on the lawn, that is just macabre. What could have happened that the situation came to this? It must’ve been something really dreadfully catastrophic for so much wealth to be seemingly abandoned. Maybe someday we’ll get an update from you Jess and Sam - with some sort of resolution we can live with - for now it’s like we’re all upset for the man and what ever went so horribly tragically wrong. By the way I live in a beautiful place in a city. I have family and things went wrong. I live alone and this scares me. I won’t be hanging pigs and meat from the walls but I can’t care for myself. I hope/dream to be rescued by kind souls like you some day soon. It would be so nice to get the place, and myself returned to its original happy pleasant disposition. The shame and blame from others has left me in a state of protracted grieving and I’ve not fared well these past few years. Something about this video has opened me up to writing it down here. That is good. I really think you two are very sweet kind souls and I wish you much happiness. I wonder how your exploration experiences inform your daily lives and thoughts of your own futures. Be well kids! XO
Those were sheep skins hanging in the window once dried out they would use them as blankets in Winter or make sheep rugs to earn an income the sheep skin would be used underneath then Wool on top the sheep skin once dried out it would go like leather there won't be a lot of skilled people left making sheep skin rugs in the traditional way nowadays and the pig would've been for the Winter to feed them and yes Sam that barrel with the handle was a butter churn I've worked on Farms all my life and I did a study on old farms and I would say the person pee'd in milk bottles because they were disabled and couldn't get to the toilet without aid / help and with it being a working farm and having a disabled person living with you there wouldn't be someone there to look after them all the time I've never understood why there just left lying around though as I've done a couple of explores now that's had wee in milk bottles and it's usually a disabled person one of the people I explore with told me that the milk bottles in the Kitchen were probably Animal blood I'm glad those walls can't talk 😱. I was also thinking imgaine lying in that bed all day with no entertainment no tv or radio just 4 walls and a ceiling to stare at day after day just exsiting what a very sad situation
@@TASIAawful1 yea it maybe would but that's the things you had to do in that day and age to survive and that's how butchery started all those years ago in small farming kitchens all around the country the only difference is each farm would slaughter 1 or 2 animals then keep some for themselves then share out the rest between local villages and towns and with each other for example 1 farm would slaughter a cow and the farm they were sharing with may slaughter a pig or sheep then trade pork for beef etc then you would need to preserve it as that had to last you a couple of months even longer in wintertime
@@TASIAawful1 It all just goes to show how far away from our roots we've come when you have you explain to people how their food is produced. Even worse when you have to listen to a shows host whine about animal carcasses and bones on a farm and inside a farm house......that likely had dogs in it's past. He shouldn't be talking about dreadful messes of spider webs and messes ....just look at his hair.
The three different blue design wallpapers in the first house is beautiful and had to be expensive back in the day. @ 37:43 that vase looks like a Wedgeworth and 33:15 with the pink perfume bottles and gold hair set with leather case worth quite a bit...I hate to see that all the beautiful art, vases, dishes and miscellaneous things in this house will be wasting away. Hopefully the family member will change his mind and remove from the house before he close it up....Great find!👍🏼
I look at a lot of these abandoned places and it makes me very sad to think all the ornaments, etc will never be used again. Why on earth can’t someone, auctioneers or so,e odd go through the house and take everything and sell it to people who will look after it instead of it all rotting away. Just so bloody wasteful.
So, so, sad that the son couldn't bring himself to go back into the house. So many lovely items just left to rot away...... (as well as all the meat🤮) Thank you for being able to stomach this explore for us as it was amazing to see. Take my hat off to you both on this one 👍😁💜
I would think that he would preserve and cherish his parent’s item’s after all they are item’s his parent’s probably treasured to just leave them to rot is extremely sad ‼️
Sometimes loss is so painful that a person or family just can’t push themselves to deal with the situation. You are right that there are so many special family items ~ the photos, sketches, knickknacks, might mean so so much to surviving family members. I’ve only seen a small amount of the video thus far ~ can someone try to fine family members through parish and other records.
There are so many beautiful antiques in there that could be auctioned of for charity, enjoyed the video too, beats me why anyone would leave so many personal items behind
Beats me why some of these investigators don't do something when they find the stuff. You could make a living selling stuff that is abandoned and people appreciate it so much. The antiques are crazy to leave behind. I wish I could find places like this. I need wood to rebuild my home actually. Some of these homes could be torn down and the wood recycled. Wood is very very expensive now days. I wish I was lucky enough here in the USA to find such a place.
@@inspire734 It's illegal to take anything or the wood without permission........unless you like being arrested and jailed. As is these Explorers are trespassing and subject to arrest and that is why they are very careful AND NEVER TAKE ANYTHING AS SOVENIERS.
Urine was used back in the 1800's to soften and whiten sheep's wool and linens that were freshly woven . I just came across your channel and I am extremely impressed by your camera skills with paying attention to details, well done. You have a new subscriber with me .
I subbed too! The music is incredible as well. So many valuable items in the home. It's amazing that it's remained intact. It's almost like the home owner left carcasses around before they left, to keep people out with the smell of peutrefaction. Some of the furniture is so beautiful and appears to be late 1700s early 1800s. One of the taxidermy pieces, with quail in it, is Victorian and worth thousands, if the quail are not dry rotted. The old binoculars are opera or theater binoculars, they would be used when ladies went to a show, often used from the balcony of a theater. Some are made with ivory or shell. Many of the paintings may even be from the 17 to 1800s. The piano may have ivory keys. Simply astounding....and the film work is wonderful! This is one of the best explorer videos I've ever seen and I also sub to the Bros of Decay! Thank you for taking your time with this place. I was able to stop the video and identify a lot of amazing antiques. Thank you! beary
@@gabe-po9yi, no I watched a documentary on UA-cam about the Tutor,and Victorian Era and how our ancestors survived living during the 17th, 18th century 👏. You would appreciate the luxuries you have if you educated yourself on what your great,great, great grandparents went through during their lives 👍.
So I have literally watched probably every explore on UA-cam by all kinds of urbex...but you guys! Man, the energy you share totally comes across the screen...Jess you are so beautiful and so brave! Always the first to say "let's go in there"! I've binge watched every video from you guys. Your style is so much better than any other urbex because you take your time..you tell the story with the items and photos you take the time to look thru. Thank you for your work!! This one was a combo of freaky and beautiful. My fave I think! Also, we see the urine in bottles a lot in America when people get to ill to get up and go. So very sad. Thanks for another amazing video!!
That meat is the old way of curing bacon. It would be salted for a couple of weeks then hanged to dry cure in the air. Keeps for years! Old farms always had meat hanging. As did the big houses! Traditional methods of curing meat!
Don't they just have the beautiful way of exploring and editing their videos to turn them into such a beautiful story of sorts. I love their camera and editing work 💯💯✌❤🇦🇺
Creepy old place, weird where they hung the meat to age, possibly going a bit insane in old age. The rotating barrel was a butter churn, my Grandmother used to use one to make butter. The box with mesh on it is called a meat safe. They were placed somewhere cool to keep the meat fresh and fly free and were the forerunner of fridges. I remember Gran and our neighbour keeping stuff in them even after fridges became quite common. The Pfaff sewing machine would have been top of the range, my wife is a costumier and still buys Pfaff sewing machines. Where you get the marble topped table with the jug and bowl, this was called a wash stand and the jug was filled with water, hot or cold so you could have a wash in your room. This originated pre-bathroom. My Grandparents had them and we used them as they didn't have a bathroom and the bog was in a shed in the garden, merely a bucket with a seat on it and you chucked cold ash on top. Bath night was in a tin bath in front of the fire. They got their first inside toilet in about 1979. The strange little heater under the wash stand was a paraffin heater, it was lit and the dome glowed orange and it made a bubbling noise as the paraffin went down, they smelled lovely. Well done Sam and Jess, loving your explores, the old man will keep telling you what the old things were!!
The glass thing on the dresser is an epergne ,used to hold different sweets,fruit etc,the cranberry glass ones are particularly collectible. Thanks for a fascinating explore Sam and Jess🏆
There is a lot of history in this house. They must have had a lot of money to have such fine furnishings. I'm not sure about the hanging meat, but I know they salted pork and hung it in rooms for preservation in the old days. I think you were right about the bottles of urine, but they used urine for a variety of things too. Yikes!!
thats exactly what the meat is for..everyone used to cure there own meat and hung it around to dry. that doesnt last forever tho,so clearly they passed with there meat still hanging and now its putrified... nothing texas chainsaw massacer about it lol...
Some places are very weird. The family had many sets of lovely blue and white dishes as well as other sets of floral dishes. Cabinets and dressers were in bad shape but were once nice. Like that piano that was carved wood. Thank you again! I enjoy your videos! 🌸💙🐌
Incredible video but sad story, looked like a beautiful home at one point. Love seeing old photos of people who use to live in it. Thank you Sam and Jess for discovering this and sharing 🥰
Wow wow wow.i don't know what to say. Started out amazing, quickly turned into a horror scene. Sad way to live, horrific. I'm sorry you had to experience this.
You guys are so awesome! I could sit here and watch you guys for hours and hours. I love your style of exploration as well as the way you guys engage with us viewers. Thanks so much for taking me along on your journeys. Thanks for all that you do for your subscribers. Sending love and light and stay safe out there....Love from Charlottesville, Va.
So glad you enjoy watching! Really appreciate that, thank you ☺️ Great to have you on the channel and hope to continue bringing more videos! Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
You say Jess found a rotting sheep in the shed so they probably had sheep on the farm and they may have been selling the wool. I found this article that might explain the urine in the bottles: "During my research I discovered that in the 17th and 18th century, urine was valued for its cleansing power by the wool industry. Human urine was used for its bleaching and degreasing effect to wash wool. It was also used during dye processes. After using the urine as a scouring solvent for wool, it can easily be recycled as fertilizer for plants and algae." It's so sad that the son didn't sell some of the beautiful belongings of his parents before they rotted.
You both do such an amazing job when exploring these places! You always take your time to show us everything possible! Great work to you both! As always can't wait for the next one! Cheers!
You two are braver than me, I was actually physically retching through this and when you entered that upstairs room with the holes in the floor I was shouting at my screen for you to get out of the room as I was genuinely worried for your safety, beautifully creepy though guys
That is so sad to learn about the son, so many lovely pieces that will be destroyed, along with the house such a crying shame. Grief is a difficult journey. Thank you Sam and Jess xxx nobody does it better than you much love to you both
So...very mixed impression of this Explore!...The Piano's were beautiful, The Dressers & Wardrobes; still in good condition...& then there is the "Hanging Meat"!!!...(laughter)...Very well preserved meat!...I'm sure that this was one of the Strangest Places for you, Sam&Jess!...Think I would be heading to the nearest Hotel for a Shower!!!...As Always, Take Good Care!...🌹😊🥰👍!...
A previous person did this place, but Sam & Jess did more of a walk through even with meat hanging around. A time capsule but on the macabre side aswell. So I enjoyed this more than the previous person. Well done both 👍 And all the Dutch crockery stunning art on them. My late father use to have the windmill where we bought it from Valkenburg in Holland. Also a lovely place to visit with no meat hanging everywhere 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃 This was a unique one for sure. Such beautiful things going to waste, very sad! Always better without the meat everywhere 🤣 Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@Samandjessexplore It has it's beauty inside that's for sure. The ornaments and photos make up the history as a splendid place. I hope it stays that way 🤞 Cheers both stay safe 🌈
I agree with Grey Webs, Sam & Jess did a much better narration of the place and more in depth/better camera work than the previous person's explore. Thanks!
@@adrianguynn5807 Respects they totally did. I basically kept my gob shut so others can see for themselves 😶 It wasn't just a walkthrough, it was better than that. They both took there time exploring 🤫 Anybody else out there wants to hear what information they may have on another explore. They would be very grateful. Last but not least please don't trash these wonderful places folk. I hate when that happens 😥 Film not destroy 👍
This house is once again one of those places filled with so many treasures. Even if it's just visual. You have an amazing eye for really capturing and editing the real raw beauty of these time capsules and all the places u visit really. Except the rotting flesh of course. Haha much love from Ana in Queensland Australia 💯✌❤🇦🇺🤘😁
Great explore Sam and Jess, the roller thing for getting water out of your laundry is a “ mangle” my Grandad had a big one outside the backdoor and was still using it up until the early eighties , also the cupboard that you mentioned might be for chickens, I think might be a “ meat safe” again my Nan and Grandad had one. Your braver than I could ever be, escpecially with all the cob webs, it’s those that terrify me ( I’m literally terrified of spiders) I think hanging meat is some sort of means of preservation, it may have been “ salted” , be safe you two 🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰
did a good job!! FYI: houses before mid 1900's had summer kitchens, used during hot months to keep the house cooler when cooking, some were connected to the house and some stood alone (to insure no threat of fire). also pay attention to photo's. it was a practice to take death photos of the deceased before burial. some were of the whole family with the deceased posed in a photo. they are interesting but creepy
Yea, if no one wanted all the “stuff”, I would offer the son a set and final fee and go in and clear the place of ALL the beautiful pics and vases! Why not??
I really respect you guys for emphasizing the beauty of the artwork, wall covering, furniture and such! Over the horror of the butcher that lived there
Ye know something I’ve seen this house before but I like watching you guys because you’d are 2 good people with good energy look forward to your next video 😎
Horrible, you guys have good stomachs. Being an empath I could not walk through that house. I'd feel all those poor animals that were slaughtered and their suffering. The son could of cleaned out the house , painted , it would of been a beautiful treasure. Thnx guys, amazing house really. 👍👍👍👍
You two do such excellent filming of these places, thank you. Even if the house didn't sell it would be good if the son allowed the sale of the contents to preserve what is left. So sad to see so many beautiful things go to decay. I see others commented on the pitchers and wash basins in the bedrooms so I won't duplicate as I came to comment on what they were. Love all your vids so much!
incredible that you stayed. I think it such a pity that all of the beautiful stuff will fall into decay.I am very impressed that you were able to stay and explore this house. Good for you. blessings to you 🙏 both Patti Lou
It saddens me that all the beautiful furniture and paintings, ornaments things that need to be used and loved again just let to rot and be forgotten. They should be able to be claimed legally from the owner of there is one that you can take these beautiful pieces to be re used and loved. Such a shame indeed... Great video and find. Such a interesting layout of the house, would of been quiet impressive back in the day, the bowl and jug where used for fresh water to wash with, not to wee in... 😂 Great video guys... 😍👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Jayne ☺️ It really is a shame seeing beautiful things going to ruin 😓 Such a sad situation too. The man we met here said he wants to sell it, so I guess its available! He just doesn’t have the means to take care of it 😔 Will remember that about the jugs 🤣 Thank you! 😁 Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@Samandjessexplore I hope he sells is sooner rather than later, the hanging metal vintage bed needs saving, the other metal bed was more ornate and very beautiful. It's not good that it was and is a sad situation though. Did you ever find out why there was meat hanging in strange places? 😊
Sometimes people save pee to use as a mordant in dyeing yarn. I think it can be used as an activator on compost heaps too. One of my friends was saving pee in a bucket in the bathroom & another friend came & thinking they were being helpful poured it all away. It can also be used in tanning hides to make leather.
Great video sam & Jess .. love how everything gets explored .. you don't miss anything .. Thankyou .. your music is always amazing 1 of the many things I look forward to with your vids .. so glad you got your own channel xx😘
Absolutely beautiful old farmhouse. The marble top tables are wash stands the jug would be full of clean water you poured in the bowl to have a nice wash after a long day as there would of been no bathrooms. The bathroom that was there was an old bedroom that got converted. The meat is all part of running a farm lol I love how you cringe at it lol. I'm sure it would of been sold or eaten by the farming family. Clearly the owner passed away before that could happen. It's a shame the son is leaving it to ruin he could of sold it and moved away rather than live in a caravan.
You guys have captured this place brilliantly I will never forget this location and it was good to meet you guys xx Iv heard that they have started sealing the place up which is good at least it can be preserved a lot longer ❤️
You need to call the house “The Jerky House” with all of the dried meat hanging around! Lol! BTW, I used to have the soup bowls with the recipes written on them.. lol!
So, so sad the relative is no longer living in this what must have been a beautiful house. Love the video footage and how respectful you two are going through this house and all its treasures, except for the dead carcasses.
Did someone go in to dust the place before you arrived? There wasn't dust on the surfaces when you lifted things, and all the items looked as if they were just cleaned. Very interesting pieces
When you are there it’s far from clean I can assure you 😁 We met the son on our way out, he told us the story behind it being abandoned, amazing to hear for once! His parents died 20 years ago and he hasn’t entered the house since, he doesn’t plan to either, he lives in a caravan out the front. Thank you for watching Carolynn 🙏🏼
Sam and Jess, your explores mean the world to me at the moment.I am in Sydney Australia where we have harsh lockdown restrictions and it's really affected many people-especially young like myself. Thank you for being a bright light in these dark days..🇭🇲❤️✌️🙏
Could you imagine how much all that stuff is worth? It's so hard because I'm a lot like you guys when it comes to things like this because I love antiques but I also love history and I also know this not right to be taking things but on the other hand people come in there and just absolutely destroy it and it's heartbreaking. I mean, what do you do about that?
What is the reason the son won't step back into the house? Did he say? Again, I just don't understand why people just don't sell or donate all those beautiful antiques. Are antiques not something people in the UK are into? Damn, over here in the states people would go mental for them. Speaking of mental... the hanging meat was just gross. Another wonderful video, thank you. ** I would LOVE to have that picture of Queen Victoria and all the family.
He said it was too upsetting and he couldn’t cope with taking care of the house, if it was already in this state of hoarding when they passed I’m not surprised he didn’t know what to do with it 😞 He must of had an emotional attachment to it to stop him from selling any of it on! He’s in ill health and has bad mobility now too… so so sad. A total waste and shame to see the house and all the beautiful things go to ruin though 😰
@@Samandjessexplore Surely he could have somebody act upon his behalf, judging by the Very Large Members on the Photograph there must be many more Family Members that could possibly return to auction off the Antiques, and the Property, rather than let it rot to nothing in order for no doubt the Government to finally end up benefitting from the Land?!
@@Samandjessexplore Was this house in the region of Tenbury/Ludlow/Leominster/ If it was there are people that would have done a house clearance to help him.
Those bowls with the pitchers on the dressers were used for water to wash your face and hands before bed and when wake up. Nicely done on the video. First time watching. Like how you take time to actually look at everything.
The urine might have been used to tan the hides of the animals they'd slaughtered. It's the old traditional method of making soft leather. Just a guess.
@@Samandjessexplore P.s Thank you for another excellent video. You're both legends & respect those places you visit. You find such interesting places. 👍
@@christineberry3076 True. From the whole air of neglect, you get the sad sense that someone just stopped caring. It was once a comfortable family home - with a piano.
Beautifully done as always, the 2 items on the dressers are a water pitcher and a wash bowl.For washing your face and hands, to prepare for getting dressed. Ladies of the night used it to freshen up between customers. The chamber pot was usually matching with a handle hidden under the bed. Hope this was not to much info. As always stay safe and well.🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Poor animals how they must have suffered as an empath I couldn’t walk through this house watching the video was amazing but also horrific with the dead flesh everywhere 🤮😭
15:10? That can’t be very dignified, pissing in milk cartons because you’re bed-bound! 19:00 A pig’s head? Things just got very weird! 32:30 Pfaff is a German brand. I have one that the family bought in 1960. What’s with the hanging meat? Are they air-drying it for preservation? I think it hasn’t worked! 34:20 No, not a piss-pot, but a wash bowl. You pour water into it from the jug and wash away! 34:37 Another wash bowl. The wash stands have a marble top because of the splashing when you wash. 34:42 That old b&w photo has been hand-tinted. I have several in the family photo collection. What’s with the translucent skins hanging in that window? Are they making leather? Maybe that’s why they collected all those awful milk cartons - urine can be used to tan leather, apparently. What a place, though! I was fascinated and appalled in equal measure! I bet the conversation with the guy outside was enlightening!
I truly enjoy your explores and the way you speak of the families and their belongings. I aprreciate the care you take, but also how you describe what you are seeing and the information you impart to your followers. Thank you both for sharing your love of what you find. I just love watching your videos!
Hi Sam and jess Great video. I love your content. Just to let you know, the jugs and bowls in the rooms are, jugs for carrying water, the plain bowl for washing yourself and the bowl with a handle are pee bowls for the night time. Keep doing what you're doing, its great.
My husband and I both used to explore abandoned homes and such and weren't afraid of anything. Now, we cringe when you two get into spider webs and such...it's 30 years on now for us and we cannot imagine how we did it! lol Thanks, stick together, you're a beautiful couple guys! Stay safe!
How revolting as a veggie so glad I don’t eat stuff like that even veg that goes off sticks so god knows the smell in there of dead animals you must have strong stomachs
I'm veggie too and I can't even stand the smell of my neighbours cooking bacon anymore, never mind an actual rotting pigs head!! I think that would be me out of there before I chundered!! 🤢
So interesting .. can’t believe the meat hanging 🤢 and the skin room. Very sad that the only remaining family member will not go in there.. thankyou both it was a good watch xx
One of the better explores I have watched, I like your empathy especially on previous explore of the polluted street in Wales, I have watched hundreds of explores and I really like your style of filming well done 👍
I love how you show such care and respect. The urine is usually stored for skins. But in this case, the owner, male, could have been diabetic and needed to stash the urine for later disposal. As it's exhausting to care for on a daily basis due to the constant need. Sad. Wish you had closed down the piano lid.
The urine (mixed with water) could also have been used to wash laundry if they didn't have soap or couldn't afford it. The pitcher and basin on the dressing table was used to wash the face, neck, and hands before bed and upon rising before getting dressed for the day. There would be a bar of soap and hand towel next to it. The chamber pot would be stored under the bed and emptied every morning. Other than the butcher shop and meat hanging everywhere, the house is beautiful!
Wow, Jess you aren't affraid of anything. Taking the lead into who knows what. Such a weird feeling in there....not sure I could have gone in !! Brilliant as always x
The pitcher and bowl set you come across in a lot of these old homes are wash basins. They would have water in the pitcher, pour some into the basin. They would spot clean the face, neck, pits, and privates. Baths weren't used on a daily basis.
How Bazaar, strangest abandoned place to see in my mind to be sure! Loaded with so many priceless treasures and some of the weirdest rotting heads/carcasses hanging around. Your troopers to say the least, to stay and show us this unusual home!
The bed downstairs is an old hospital bed with what is called a trapeze to assist the person in moving independently as possible. The pink room had a heater on the floor and the wooden piece was to hang blankets on when not in use, sad the history that will die with this house as it falls in what a waste. I wonder if the son is still alive or his own family? Be safe, Vermont USA!
The jugs and basins were wash washing facilities before we had bathrooms hence the marble wash stands, beautifully executed explore as always your both amazing xx
Dam it’s bout time I find you bro I always see you with Karl and I’m like , man this guy and his lady gotta have some type of channel lol glad I found you man
I know exactly how this comes to be. I lost my husband of 23 years 6 months ago I never had children of my own he had 2 when we married. The things we built and collected over the years don't matter anymore. We were so proud to build our own house ourselves, and now I am surrounded with his image in every corner. It is so hard to care about something when the best part of you is gone. It feels like I'm just awaiting my turn. So sorry to be such a sad sack, but the first ten minutes brought me to tears.
Sorry got your loss
Thank you for sharing! You are just keeping it real. ❤️
Oh Becky, your post made me so sad. I know exactly how you feel. Losing the love of your life is horrible. Your not being a”sad sack” your just being human, hopefully you have people around you who can soften your loss just a tiny bit. These videos are always so enlightening into how as human beings we collect material things and gladly surround ourselves with them but at the end of the day it is the story of the people that is most important. Take care sweetheart. Surround yourself with the friends and family who can help you rejoice in your late husband’s life after all he must have done much much more in life than pass away !
@@annschouten7691Thank you so much, God is with me, I have no family and his acts like I don't exist. That's okay though God id here.
@@beckyfarley60 i understand 100% I also have no children, my father who was my everything passed away 4 years ago and my mother is a narcissist and out to see me ruined along with my husband. There’s Not a moment of every day thatI don’t miss my dad I miss his guidance , friendship and love . But I know he is surrounding me with his spiritual love until we meet again. Take care xx
I've held back until now. I've watched hundreds of explore videos and it is true...the children grow up move away and then a spouse passes and you have a shell you call home. Nothing prepares you for the feelings of having your memories of them stare you in the face day after day. You end up in a dark place if you have no one who cares. So the dishes don't get done dusting neglected and then you too pass. Go out and live life ...don't collects things just memories.
The bowl and jug in the rooms were for "washing" before bed and in the morning, the jug would have warm water in it and you would pour it into the dish and use a washcloth to wipe over your hands, face, neck, armpits and feet when showers weren't a thing, and people would bathe only once a week because there wasn't running hot water they'd have to boil water on the fire to fill a bath then usually the whole family would take turns in the same bath water (yuck) sooo the jug and bowl were essentially for washing in between baths that's why each room had one cause you'd just do it in your room not the bathroom... weird and gross but that's what they had to do back in that era. I hope this helps answer that for you 😉
Very interesting! They are beautiful. How times change!
Thank you Jessica! Will remember this ☺️
@@Samandjessexplore yeah I don't think I would have faired well back then! Haha and the only reason I know that is because my grandparents were from the UK and they had them as display pieces in this house in Australia (where I'm from) in each bedroom ❤ LOVE your content guys, keep up the awesome work xx
My great Aunt had these in every bedroom of her farm house. There was a well out front and as kids we would fight to pump it and bring the water in.
The ewers & bowls were standing on a marble topped washstand.
I can remember the year of my first bathroom , and even an indoor toilet, maybe 1968/9. Previously the toilet was a shed down the road over a hole in the ground. Some kind soul ripped up squares of newspaper to use as loo paper and stuck them on a nail. If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown nip into town.
The evolution of aging and loneliness. You can tell it like many you show were once immaculate. Im watching my parent go thru this exact thing. The house was always spotless and immaculate ant as we all moved away they slowly start hoarding things and stop cleaning from old and tired and a bit sad and lonely. It slowly everyday looks like this and they don't want help they don't like feeling a burden. Or their lifelong mate passes away and they slowly give up and stop cleaning and they start compiling everything
Very sad truth Cindy 😞 Sorry to hear this, its a very hard time in life 😔 Horrible to think of someone struggling alone here, amongst all that stuff 😰 Shame to see this beautiful house go to ruin too.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
This is exactly what I have seen in the elderly . I am now having health problems and there are days I am unable to do my daily work on keeping my house spotless. I also inherited many things from my parents and in- laws that I didn’t need but it hurt to let them go. I am now in the process of letting things go so my children don’t end up having to be overcrowded in their homes. I’ve realized we can’t always keep things but I will sell or donate the things . This is so sad to let all the beautiful furniture and collectibles just rot or be broken. Someone could love and enjoy having them. Also does the son live on this acreage? If he does looks like he would hire someone to auction off the valuables.
@@mimicontent5291 I have fibromyalgia and arthritis though out my body. I get real weak and just 63, most things are left sitting out and hardly get cleaned. I will probably hire someone to come in a couple times a week an clean later. I have to fix my house as it needs repaired before winter now.
That's exactly what happened with my parents. Dad filled up the house with newspapers and old clothes etc. It took him years to do it. Now both parents are dead and we are trying to clean out the house . So far we have filled 2 dumpsters ( 20 yards each) and have only cleared the living room and hallway. It's not a big house but it was 2 feet deep junk on the floors and no trails. They always refused help and got angry if we touched anything. It's hard getting m old tired and sick
A beautiful space of history that needs healing and lots of cleansing and sunlight. I hope the son finds peace and consolation. Grief is such a hard journey to travel. 💞
A very nice home.Older people get so lonely they depend on their stuff for memories.very,very sad.great explore guys👍❤️😍🇺🇸
Really! Bag up those old clothes, like Curiosity Inc.! Bet his mind would change!
What a pity that so many beautiful things have been left abandoned in this house. Much of this should be saved and cherished once again. Unfortunately the back stories of these locations are often sad ones. This has been a lovely home at one time. Now it is a real time warp. Love the way you put lots of time into your explores with great commentaries in them. Another winning video Sam and Jess
Glad you enjoyed it Alasdair! This was a strange place, fascinating but grim!
So sad it’s ended up this way.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Other explorers did this recently but their filming style is too fast and does not allow the viewer to see fine detail.
Thanks for stopping the camera at key points as opposed to a quick pan around the room.
Glad you enjoyed it Stanley! Appreciate that, will continue to keep this in mind 😀 Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Scot-Irish Hillbilly here...ancestors since 1740s, Virginia & Kentucky....We were so poor no animal parts would have been left.....I became 'civilized' after reading Huckleberry Finn', & moved to remote Montana....new subscriber here!
The pitchers and bowls on the dressers in the rooms are old wash basins. They would fill the pitchers in the morning and set out in their rooms to warm. They would fill the bowls to wash themselves. And toss the water out the window!
Ah I see! Will remember this now ☺️ Thank you Cara 🙏🏼
Unless they had some poor housemaid to carry the waste water out, might be a twelve year old girl from the workhouse, learning to be a maid.
It is good you made a record of the place while it was still possible to do so.
He may board up the place but I think it's a shame he doesn't rescue what is saleable and see it goes to those who would cherish the pieces. The end result of boarding it up will be the collapse of it and everything inside will be smashed to pieces. Just saying....thanks for sharing, I love your videos.
It is a shame, he is in such a sad situation 😔 Horrible that it’s gone this way 👎🏼
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!
@@Samandjessexplore Your very welcome all the way from Canada. 🇨🇦
Boarding places up attracts unwanted attention from vandalism
It began as a Proper Texas Chain saw horror movie, then to a truly amazing home. Great job Sam and Jess!! I'd have Ran out lol .
looks like my house when I first got it. 1820. Only had one round pin socket for electric. Just replaced the outside toilet seat today in the outhouse where I lived for 3 years when I first got it in 1996. Enjoy the little things.
That is brilliant Damian, these houses are beautiful. Nice to keep them preserved!
What a once fantastic home. And the story of the son living in a caravan on the lawn, that is just macabre. What could have happened that the situation came to this? It must’ve been something really dreadfully catastrophic for so much wealth to be seemingly abandoned. Maybe someday we’ll get an update from you Jess and Sam - with some sort of resolution we can live with - for now it’s like we’re all upset for the man and what ever went so horribly tragically wrong.
By the way I live in a beautiful place in a city. I have family and things went wrong. I live alone and this scares me. I won’t be hanging pigs and meat from the walls but I can’t care for myself. I hope/dream to be rescued by kind souls like you some day soon. It would be so nice to get the place, and myself returned to its original happy pleasant disposition. The shame and blame from others has left me in a state of protracted grieving and I’ve not fared well these past few years.
Something about this video has opened me up to writing it down here. That is good. I really think you two are very sweet kind souls and I wish you much happiness. I wonder how your exploration experiences inform your daily lives and thoughts of your own futures. Be well kids! XO
Those were sheep skins hanging in the window once dried out they would use them as blankets in Winter or make sheep rugs to earn an income the sheep skin would be used underneath then Wool on top the sheep skin once dried out it would go like leather there won't be a lot of skilled people left making sheep skin rugs in the traditional way nowadays and the pig would've been for the Winter to feed them and yes Sam that barrel with the handle was a butter churn I've worked on Farms all my life and I did a study on old farms and I would say the person pee'd in milk bottles because they were disabled and couldn't get to the toilet without aid / help and with it being a working farm and having a disabled person living with you there wouldn't be someone there to look after them all the time I've never understood why there just left lying around though as I've done a couple of explores now that's had wee in milk bottles and it's usually a disabled person one of the people I explore with told me that the milk bottles in the Kitchen were probably Animal blood I'm glad those walls can't talk 😱. I was also thinking imgaine lying in that bed all day with no entertainment no tv or radio just 4 walls and a ceiling to stare at day after day just exsiting what a very sad situation
It would tell a horrific story of animal abuse I’m sure
@@TASIAawful1 yea it maybe would but that's the things you had to do in that day and age to survive and that's how butchery started all those years ago in small farming kitchens all around the country the only difference is each farm would slaughter 1 or 2 animals then keep some for themselves then share out the rest between local villages and towns and with each other for example 1 farm would slaughter a cow and the farm they were sharing with may slaughter a pig or sheep then trade pork for beef etc then you would need to preserve it as that had to last you a couple of months even longer in wintertime
@@graemecrabb4760 Yes that’s very true. We have factory farming nowadays which is very horrific animals have no idea how it is to be outside and free
@@TASIAawful1 It all just goes to show how far away from our roots we've come when you have you explain to people how their food is produced. Even worse when you have to listen to a shows host whine about animal carcasses and bones on a farm and inside a farm house......that likely had dogs in it's past. He shouldn't be talking about dreadful messes of spider webs and messes ....just look at his hair.
The three different blue design wallpapers in the first house is beautiful and had to be expensive back in the day. @ 37:43 that vase looks like a Wedgeworth and 33:15 with the pink perfume bottles and gold hair set with leather case worth quite a bit...I hate to see that all the beautiful art, vases, dishes and miscellaneous things in this house will be wasting away. Hopefully the family member will change his mind and remove from the house before he close it up....Great find!👍🏼
I look at a lot of these abandoned places and it makes me very sad to think all the ornaments, etc will never be used again. Why on earth can’t someone, auctioneers or so,e odd go through the house and take everything and sell it to people who will look after it instead of it all rotting away. Just so bloody wasteful.
Barry Jacobs I agree why not auction the beautiful future and collectibles?? Or even give it away instead of letting it just rot away!!
So, so, sad that the son couldn't bring himself to go back into the house. So many lovely items just left to rot away...... (as well as all the meat🤮) Thank you for being able to stomach this explore for us as it was amazing to see. Take my hat off to you both on this one 👍😁💜
Glad you enjoyed it Jodey ☺️
Such a sad situation 😥
Won’t forget this one or it’s smell 😆
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@Samandjessexplore I'm really curious why the son wouldn't go back in after 20 yrs.
Great talent with your videos!
I would think that he would preserve and cherish his parent’s item’s after all they are item’s his parent’s probably treasured to just leave them to rot is extremely sad ‼️
@@Samandjessexplore why your not wearing face masks you don’t know what to expect in a abandoned houses
Sometimes loss is so painful that a person or family just can’t push themselves to deal with the situation. You are right that there are so many special family items ~ the photos, sketches, knickknacks, might mean so so much to surviving family members.
I’ve only seen a small amount of the video thus far ~ can someone try to fine family members through parish and other records.
The tiny binoculars were probably opera glasses to see the stage more clearly.
There are so many beautiful antiques in there that could be auctioned of for charity, enjoyed the video too, beats me why anyone would leave so many personal items behind
Probably left feet first. No taking anything with you that way.
Beats me why some of these investigators don't do something when they find the stuff. You could make a living selling stuff that is abandoned and people appreciate it so much. The antiques are crazy to leave behind. I wish I could find places like this. I need wood to rebuild my home actually. Some of these homes could be torn down and the wood recycled. Wood is very very expensive now days. I wish I was lucky enough here in the USA to find such a place.
Those antiques are valuable.
@@inspire734 It's illegal to take anything or the wood without permission........unless you like being arrested and jailed. As is these Explorers are trespassing and subject to arrest and that is why they are very careful AND NEVER TAKE ANYTHING AS SOVENIERS.
Urine was used back in the 1800's to soften and whiten sheep's wool and linens that were freshly woven . I just came across your channel and I am extremely impressed by your camera skills with paying attention to details, well done. You have a new subscriber with me .
Lots of money there furniture and glass etc fortune
I subbed too! The music is incredible as well. So many valuable items in the home. It's amazing that it's remained intact. It's almost like the home owner left carcasses around before they left, to keep people out with the smell of peutrefaction. Some of the furniture is so beautiful and appears to be late 1700s early 1800s. One of the taxidermy pieces, with quail in it, is Victorian and worth thousands, if the quail are not dry rotted. The old binoculars are opera or theater binoculars, they would be used when ladies went to a show, often used from the balcony of a theater. Some are made with ivory or shell. Many of the paintings may even be from the 17 to 1800s. The piano may have ivory keys. Simply astounding....and the film work is wonderful! This is one of the best explorer videos I've ever seen and I also sub to the Bros of Decay! Thank you for taking your time with this place. I was able to stop the video and identify a lot of amazing antiques. Thank you! beary
Urine was also used to Tan animal Hides to make Leather. Maybe they did that here with the animal (Pig?), skins hanging in the window?
I'm glad you knew this about the urine. My best guess, lol, was an old person too feeble to make it to the outhouse.
@@gabe-po9yi, no I watched a documentary on UA-cam about the Tutor,and Victorian Era and how our ancestors survived living during the 17th, 18th century 👏. You would appreciate the luxuries you have if you educated yourself on what your great,great, great grandparents went through during their lives 👍.
So I have literally watched probably every explore on UA-cam by all kinds of urbex...but you guys! Man, the energy you share totally comes across the screen...Jess you are so beautiful and so brave! Always the first to say "let's go in there"! I've binge watched every video from you guys. Your style is so much better than any other urbex because you take your time..you tell the story with the items and photos you take the time to look thru. Thank you for your work!! This one was a combo of freaky and beautiful. My fave I think! Also, we see the urine in bottles a lot in America when people get to ill to get up and go. So very sad. Thanks for another amazing video!!
That meat is the old way of curing bacon. It would be salted for a couple of weeks then hanged to dry cure in the air. Keeps for years! Old farms always had meat hanging. As did the big houses! Traditional methods of curing meat!
Don't they just have the beautiful way of exploring and editing their videos to turn them into such a beautiful story of sorts. I love their camera and editing work 💯💯✌❤🇦🇺
Creepy old place, weird where they hung the meat to age, possibly going a bit insane in old age. The rotating barrel was a butter churn, my Grandmother used to use one to make butter. The box with mesh on it is called a meat safe. They were placed somewhere cool to keep the meat fresh and fly free and were the forerunner of fridges. I remember Gran and our neighbour keeping stuff in them even after fridges became quite common. The Pfaff sewing machine would have been top of the range, my wife is a costumier and still buys Pfaff sewing machines. Where you get the marble topped table with the jug and bowl, this was called a wash stand and the jug was filled with water, hot or cold so you could have a wash in your room. This originated pre-bathroom. My Grandparents had them and we used them as they didn't have a bathroom and the bog was in a shed in the garden, merely a bucket with a seat on it and you chucked cold ash on top. Bath night was in a tin bath in front of the fire. They got their first inside toilet in about 1979. The strange little heater under the wash stand was a paraffin heater, it was lit and the dome glowed orange and it made a bubbling noise as the paraffin went down, they smelled lovely. Well done Sam and Jess, loving your explores, the old man will keep telling you what the old things were!!
The glass thing on the dresser is an epergne ,used to hold different sweets,fruit etc,the cranberry glass ones are particularly collectible. Thanks for a fascinating explore Sam and Jess🏆
There is a lot of history in this house. They must have had a lot of money to have such fine furnishings. I'm not sure about the hanging meat, but I know they salted pork and hung it in rooms for preservation in the old days. I think you were right about the bottles of urine, but they used urine for a variety of things too. Yikes!!
Glad you enjoyed it Cindy! This place was a special one, bizarre but interesting.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
thats exactly what the meat is for..everyone used to cure there own meat and hung it around to dry. that doesnt last forever tho,so clearly they passed with there meat still hanging and now its putrified... nothing texas chainsaw massacer about it lol...
That's true, urine was used for tanning leather.
Those binoculars you picked up are actually theatre 🎭 glasses 👍🏻
Ah yes! I see now, awesome 😃 Thank you for pointing that out 🙏🏼
Some places are very weird. The family had many sets of lovely blue and white dishes as well as other sets of floral dishes. Cabinets and dressers were in bad shape but were once nice. Like that piano that was carved wood. Thank you again! I enjoy your videos! 🌸💙🐌
Glad you enjoyed it Marilyn 🥰 This house had some beautiful treasures.
Sad to see it in this way!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Incredible video but sad story, looked like a beautiful home at one point. Love seeing old photos of people who use to live in it. Thank you Sam and Jess for discovering this and sharing 🥰

What a tragedy. So many beautiful things. Deeply sad and beautiful.
Wow wow wow.i don't know what to say. Started out amazing, quickly turned into a horror scene. Sad way to live, horrific. I'm sorry you had to experience this.
A very unusual place, wont soon forget it 😣 Really sad situation 😥 Thank you for watching 🙏🏼

Great to have you on the channel and hope to continue bringing more videos!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
You say Jess found a rotting sheep in the shed so they probably had sheep on the farm and they may have been selling the wool. I found this article that might explain the urine in the bottles: "During my research I discovered that in the 17th and 18th century, urine was valued for its cleansing power by the wool industry. Human urine was used for its bleaching and degreasing effect to wash wool. It was also used during dye processes. After using the urine as a scouring solvent for wool, it can easily be recycled as fertilizer for plants and algae." It's so sad that the son didn't sell some of the beautiful belongings of his parents before they rotted.
@sss_imperial79 Thank you for the update. That is very sad. It's a good thing that someone stepped in and rescued the sheep.
You both do such an amazing job when exploring these places! You always take your time to show us everything possible! Great work to you both! As always can't wait for the next one! Cheers!
You two are braver than me, I was actually physically retching through this and when you entered that upstairs room with the holes in the floor I was shouting at my screen for you to get out of the room as I was genuinely worried for your safety, beautifully creepy though guys
I so glad you are very respectful for someones lost life , a place that was once loved
Hi Jess and Sam, you have brought us another great explore...thank heaven we don't have smelly vision 👃xxx
True that Carolyn 🤣 This place was one of the worse smells 😅 Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼 xxx
That is so sad to learn about the son, so many lovely pieces that will be destroyed, along with the house such a crying shame. Grief is a difficult journey. Thank you Sam and Jess xxx nobody does it better than you much love to you both
So...very mixed impression of this Explore!...The Piano's were beautiful, The Dressers & Wardrobes; still in good condition...& then there is the "Hanging Meat"!!!...(laughter)...Very well preserved meat!...I'm sure that this was one of the Strangest Places for you, Sam&Jess!...Think I would be heading to the nearest Hotel for a Shower!!!...As Always, Take Good Care!...🌹😊🥰👍!...
5:25 that piece is absolutely beautiful!!! I love this beautiful country house ❤ I hope it gets saved.
A previous person did this place, but Sam & Jess did more of a walk through even with meat hanging around. A time capsule but on the macabre side aswell. So I enjoyed this more than the previous person. Well done both 👍 And all the Dutch crockery stunning art on them. My late father use to have the windmill where we bought it from Valkenburg in Holland. Also a lovely place to visit with no meat hanging everywhere 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃 This was a unique one for sure.
Such beautiful things going to waste, very sad!
Always better without the meat everywhere 🤣
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@Samandjessexplore It has it's beauty inside that's for sure. The ornaments and photos make up the history as a splendid place. I hope it stays that way 🤞 Cheers both stay safe 🌈
I agree with Grey Webs, Sam & Jess did a much better narration of the place and more in depth/better camera work than the previous person's explore. Thanks!
@@adrianguynn5807 Respects they totally did. I basically kept my gob shut so others can see for themselves 😶 It wasn't just a walkthrough, it was better than that. They both took there time exploring 🤫 Anybody else out there wants to hear what information they may have on another explore. They would be very grateful. Last but not least please don't trash these wonderful places folk. I hate when that happens 😥 Film not destroy 👍
@@adrianguynn5807 I won't mention names of previous explores, but I thank them for not disturbing this place 👍 Foot prints and photos only ok 🤫
This house is once again one of those places filled with so many treasures. Even if it's just visual. You have an amazing eye for really capturing and editing the real raw beauty of these time capsules and all the places u visit really. Except the rotting flesh of course. Haha much love from Ana in Queensland Australia 💯✌❤🇦🇺🤘😁
Great explore Sam and Jess, the roller thing for getting water out of your laundry is a “ mangle” my Grandad had a big one outside the backdoor and was still using it up until the early eighties , also the cupboard that you mentioned might be for chickens, I think might be a “ meat safe” again my Nan and Grandad had one. Your braver than I could ever be, escpecially with all the cob webs, it’s those that terrify me ( I’m literally terrified of spiders) I think hanging meat is some sort of means of preservation, it may have been “ salted” , be safe you two 🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰
did a good job!! FYI: houses before mid 1900's had summer kitchens, used during hot months to keep the house cooler when cooking, some were connected to the house and some stood alone (to insure no threat of fire). also pay attention to photo's. it was a practice to take death photos of the deceased before burial. some were of the whole family with the deceased posed in a photo. they are interesting but creepy
Yea, if no one wanted all the “stuff”, I would offer the son a set and final fee and go in and clear the place of ALL the beautiful pics and vases! Why not??
Maybe bad mojo following the relics wherever they go?
I really respect you guys for emphasizing the beauty of the artwork, wall covering, furniture and such! Over the horror of the butcher that lived there
Ye know something I’ve seen this house before but I like watching you guys because you’d are 2 good people with good energy look forward to your next video 😎
Glad you enjoyed it Phill! 😀 Appreciate that ☺️ Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Horrible, you guys have good stomachs. Being an empath I could not walk through that house. I'd feel all those poor animals that were slaughtered and their suffering. The son could of cleaned out the house , painted , it would of been a beautiful treasure. Thnx guys, amazing house really. 👍👍👍👍
You two do such excellent filming of these places, thank you. Even if the house didn't sell it would be good if the son allowed the sale of the contents to preserve what is left. So sad to see so many beautiful things go to decay. I see others commented on the pitchers and wash basins in the bedrooms so I won't duplicate as I came to comment on what they were.
Love all your vids so much!
incredible that you stayed. I think it such a pity that all of the beautiful stuff will fall into decay.I am very impressed that you were able to stay and explore this house. Good for you. blessings to you 🙏 both Patti Lou
I had a feeling it wasn’t totally abandoned some of the outdoor areas seemed landscaped.
A beautiful space of history that needs healing and lots of cleansing and sunlight. I hope the son finds peace and consolation. . 💞
It saddens me that all the beautiful furniture and paintings, ornaments things that need to be used and loved again just let to rot and be forgotten. They should be able to be claimed legally from the owner of there is one that you can take these beautiful pieces to be re used and loved. Such a shame indeed... Great video and find. Such a interesting layout of the house, would of been quiet impressive back in the day, the bowl and jug where used for fresh water to wash with, not to wee in... 😂 Great video guys... 😍👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Jayne ☺️ It really is a shame seeing beautiful things going to ruin 😓 Such a sad situation too. The man we met here said he wants to sell it, so I guess its available! He just doesn’t have the means to take care of it 😔
Will remember that about the jugs 🤣 Thank you! 😁
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@Samandjessexplore I hope he sells is sooner rather than later, the hanging metal vintage bed needs saving, the other metal bed was more ornate and very beautiful. It's not good that it was and is a sad situation though. Did you ever find out why there was meat hanging in strange places? 😊
@@Samandjessexplore where approximately is this?
Sometimes people save pee to use as a mordant in dyeing yarn. I think it can be used as an activator on compost heaps too. One of my friends was saving pee in a bucket in the bathroom & another friend came & thinking they were being helpful poured it all away. It can also be used in tanning hides to make leather.
When I explored this place it did stink I was on edge the whole time. More so has I was on my own. But what a freaky place guys...
Great video sam & Jess .. love how everything gets explored .. you don't miss anything .. Thankyou .. your music is always amazing 1 of the many things I look forward to with your vids .. so glad you got your own channel xx😘
Absolutely beautiful old farmhouse. The marble top tables are wash stands the jug would be full of clean water you poured in the bowl to have a nice wash after a long day as there would of been no bathrooms. The bathroom that was there was an old bedroom that got converted. The meat is all part of running a farm lol I love how you cringe at it lol. I'm sure it would of been sold or eaten by the farming family. Clearly the owner passed away before that could happen. It's a shame the son is leaving it to ruin he could of sold it and moved away rather than live in a caravan.
Love the backround music you chose for this explore. Very fitting. And thank you for another wonderful adventure!
You guys have captured this place brilliantly I will never forget this location and it was good to meet you guys xx Iv heard that they have started sealing the place up which is good at least it can be preserved a lot longer ❤️
Absolutely wonderful furniture and probably lots of treasures. Such a shame. The house needs some love.
You need to call the house “The Jerky House” with all of the dried meat hanging around! Lol! BTW, I used to have the soup bowls with the recipes written on them.. lol!
Excellent suggestion with the name...I second that notion. :)
You two are old soul. Special❤️👍🏻
this house with all the meat hanging everywhere reminds of the house in the texas chainsaw massacre lol
Us too 😣 Creepy!!! 😅
Yes!
So, so sad the relative is no longer living in this what must have been a beautiful house. Love the video footage and how respectful you two are going through this house and all its treasures, except for the dead carcasses.
I can't imagine why anyone would do this to their own home. It was once beautiful, now it's just creepy!
I’m new to your channel, I absolutely love how respectful you are, I’m very much looking forward to your future explorations.
Did someone go in to dust the place before you arrived? There wasn't dust on the surfaces when you lifted things, and all the items looked as if they were just cleaned. Very interesting pieces
When you are there it’s far from clean I can assure you 😁 We met the son on our way out, he told us the story behind it being abandoned, amazing to hear for once! His parents died 20 years ago and he hasn’t entered the house since, he doesn’t plan to either, he lives in a caravan out the front.
Thank you for watching Carolynn 🙏🏼
@@Samandjessexplore you’re welcome- it was interesting
Sam and Jess, your explores mean the world to me at the moment.I am in Sydney Australia where we have harsh lockdown restrictions and it's really affected many people-especially young like myself. Thank you for being a bright light in these dark days..🇭🇲❤️✌️🙏
So sorry your going through this,I feel for you living with the corrupt political system,sending you love and light💜
@@kymkat007 Thx ☀️
Could you imagine how much all that stuff is worth? It's so hard because I'm a lot like you guys when it comes to things like this because I love antiques but I also love history and I also know this not right to be taking things but on the other hand people come in there and just absolutely destroy it and it's heartbreaking. I mean, what do you do about that?
Sam & Jess are very empathetic, lovely people; the dwellings are
see
with great care. Sam & Jess find the beauty
What is the reason the son won't step back into the house? Did he say? Again, I just don't understand why people just don't sell or donate all those beautiful antiques. Are antiques not something people in the UK are into? Damn, over here in the states people would go mental for them. Speaking of mental... the hanging meat was just gross.
Another wonderful video, thank you.
** I would LOVE to have that picture of Queen Victoria and all the family.
He said it was too upsetting and he couldn’t cope with taking care of the house, if it was already in this state of hoarding when they passed I’m not surprised he didn’t know what to do with it 😞 He must of had an emotional attachment to it to stop him from selling any of it on! He’s in ill health and has bad mobility now too… so so sad.
A total waste and shame to see the house and all the beautiful things go to ruin though 😰
That royal picture was haunting!!!
@@Samandjessexplore Surely he could have somebody act upon his behalf, judging by the Very Large Members on the Photograph there must be many more Family Members that could possibly return to auction off the Antiques, and the Property, rather than let it rot to nothing in order for no doubt the Government to finally end up benefitting from the Land?!
@@Samandjessexplore Was this house in the region of Tenbury/Ludlow/Leominster/ If it was there are people that would have done a house clearance to help him.
Those bowls with the pitchers on the dressers were used for water to wash your face and hands before bed and when wake up. Nicely done on the video. First time watching. Like how you take time to actually look at everything.
The urine might have been used to tan the hides of the animals they'd slaughtered. It's the old traditional method of making soft leather.
Just a guess.
Yes that’s a good suggestion! Would be a reason behind keeping so much.
@@Samandjessexplore P.s Thank you for another excellent video. You're both legends & respect those places you visit. You find such interesting places. 👍
Yes...the Urine actually helped in the tanning process...
why not outside in a shed or such - to be forgotten.
@@christineberry3076 True. From the whole air of neglect, you get the sad sense that someone just stopped caring. It was once a comfortable family home - with a piano.
Beautifully done as always, the 2 items on the dressers are a water pitcher and a wash bowl.For washing your face and hands, to prepare for getting dressed. Ladies of the night used it to freshen up between customers. The chamber pot was usually matching with a handle hidden under the bed. Hope this was not to much info. As always stay safe and well.🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Poor animals how they must have suffered as an empath I couldn’t walk through this house watching the video was amazing but also horrific with the dead flesh everywhere 🤮😭
I felt the same on seeing all of the remains , those poor animals .
This was a farm. I have no idea why the meat was just left hanging all over the place.
The mirror seems too clean for a dusty house.
15:10? That can’t be very dignified, pissing in milk cartons because you’re bed-bound!
19:00 A pig’s head? Things just got very weird!
32:30 Pfaff is a German brand. I have one that the family bought in 1960.
What’s with the hanging meat? Are they air-drying it for preservation? I think it hasn’t worked!
34:20 No, not a piss-pot, but a wash bowl. You pour water into it from the jug and wash away!
34:37 Another wash bowl. The wash stands have a marble top because of the splashing when you wash.
34:42 That old b&w photo has been hand-tinted. I have several in the family photo collection.
What’s with the translucent skins hanging in that window? Are they making leather? Maybe that’s why they collected all those awful milk cartons - urine can be used to tan leather, apparently.
What a place, though! I was fascinated and appalled in equal measure! I bet the conversation with the guy outside was enlightening!
I truly enjoy your explores and the way you speak of the families and their belongings. I aprreciate the care you take, but also how you describe what you are seeing and the information you impart to your followers. Thank you both for sharing your love of what you find. I just love watching your videos!
I'm really glad I sat down with VEGAN corn dogs for this one 😂
Hi Sam and jess
Great video. I love your content. Just to let you know, the jugs and bowls in the rooms are, jugs for carrying water, the plain bowl for washing yourself and the bowl with a handle are pee bowls for the night time. Keep doing what you're doing, its great.
The jug and the pot would have been used to wash your face in every morning. Not to pee in!
Thank you Steven! Will remember that now 😅
The dresser on which they sat was called The washstand.
My husband and I both used to explore abandoned homes and such and weren't afraid of anything. Now, we cringe when you two get into spider webs and such...it's 30 years on now for us and we cannot imagine how we did it! lol Thanks, stick together, you're a beautiful couple guys! Stay safe!
How revolting as a veggie so glad I don’t eat stuff like that even veg that goes off sticks so god knows the smell in there of dead animals you must have strong stomachs
As are we! Was horrid but had to put mind over matter 🤢 Sam nearly broke a few times 😅 Glad to be well away from that place!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Amazing house with Ed Gein vibes!!! You were brave going in XXX
I'm veggie too and I can't even stand the smell of my neighbours cooking bacon anymore, never mind an actual rotting pigs head!! I think that would be me out of there before I chundered!! 🤢
Sam got very close at points 😅 Glad to be well away from that place 🤢😅
So interesting .. can’t believe the meat hanging 🤢 and the skin room. Very sad that the only remaining family member will not go in there.. thankyou both it was a good watch xx
Nightmare on Pork Street 😃🐷🐷🐷
🤣🤣
@@Samandjessexplore 🐗😆
You are very good at filming,you show us the interior far and close angle alike and you both have exceptional soft voices.Thank you.
One of the better explores I have watched, I like your empathy especially on previous explore of the polluted street in Wales, I have watched hundreds of explores and I really like your style of filming well done 👍
I love how you show such care and respect.
The urine is usually stored for skins. But in this case, the owner, male, could have been diabetic and needed to stash the urine for later disposal. As it's exhausting to care for on a daily basis due to the constant need. Sad. Wish you had closed down the piano lid.
The urine (mixed with water) could also have been used to wash laundry if they didn't have soap or couldn't afford it. The pitcher and basin on the dressing table was used to wash the face, neck, and hands before bed and upon rising before getting dressed for the day. There would be a bar of soap and hand towel next to it. The chamber pot would be stored under the bed and emptied every morning. Other than the butcher shop and meat hanging everywhere, the house is beautiful!
Wow, Jess you aren't affraid of anything. Taking the lead into who knows what. Such a weird feeling in there....not sure I could have gone in !! Brilliant as always x
Such a shame , beautiful belongings, you can tell it was once a beautiful old house. Great video!
Both of you are adorable 💞your films are so peaceful to watch 🤍your music choice is beautiful🤗🙏
So many treasures in this home. Thanks for the adventure. 👍👍👍
The pitcher and bowl set you come across in a lot of these old homes are wash basins. They would have water in the pitcher, pour some into the basin. They would spot clean the face, neck, pits, and privates. Baths weren't used on a daily basis.
How Bazaar, strangest abandoned place to see in my mind to be sure! Loaded with so many priceless treasures and some of the weirdest rotting heads/carcasses hanging around. Your troopers to say the least, to stay and show us this unusual home!
The bed downstairs is an old hospital bed with what is called a trapeze to assist the person in moving independently as possible. The pink room had a heater on the floor and the wooden piece was to hang blankets on when not in use, sad the history that will die with this house as it falls in what a waste. I wonder if the son is still alive or his own family? Be safe, Vermont USA!
The jugs and basins were wash washing facilities before we had bathrooms hence the marble wash stands, beautifully executed explore as always your both amazing xx
Yes,and pee pots were kept under the bed.
Ah I see! Will remember this now 😃 Thank you Angela 🙏🏼 Appreciate you watching ☺️
Dam it’s bout time I find you bro I always see you with Karl and I’m like , man this guy and his lady gotta have some type of channel lol glad I found you man
