So maybe she is with a very wealthy man, and doesn't need any of her old life now. If you could find out if the house is in court, sold or eviction, that would smash the assuming huh! Speculations! I'd rather know!! Great content #Dave! Maybe the French man is loaded, and she was like, bubeyyyeee
Many people have visited this lost place. Two individuals from Germany in 2014 and some other French or Belgian people from 2012 also visited this place. I don't know where these videos are located anymore; however, the place was in better condition. Everyone has a different story about this place, and I will explain it to you as the German guys who videotaped it in 2014 explained it in a much better way as there were more things in this house at the time. There are many rumours; however, financial problems and tax evasion were an issue, as this was not the only property this man owned. There was another letter there that was translated, explaining the situation of the Japanese woman and her parents disliking the professor. The home has been empty since 1994, maybe even a bit earlier, but some of the rumours are completely rong. The woman was supposed to marry a wealthy Japanese businessman, but she left them at the altar, disgracing her family. This happened in 1989. Now the Japanese woman was 26 years younger than her French husband; supposedly, the husband passed away, leaving this poor Japanese woman with two children with a huge tax bill and pretty much homeless, as the professor had other children in France who tried to collect his money. Now, believe it or not, the case is still in court as the family tried to fight the court case as certain wills were changed and the family was rich. However, due to lawyer fees, court fees, and other taxes, the whole family broke. Now the whole court case is frozen. The properties are all up for sale, but for too much money. So what happened to the Japanese woman? Well, one of the neighbours down the street explained that she might have moved back to Japan. I highly doubt this because she disgraced her family. Some people have believed that she moved to Switzerland or Canada, but the two German fellows know that she now runs a restaurant in Paris, France.
Oh man what a nightmare. It took 5 years to settle my dad's estate and sell off his properties bc he had inherited them along with some of his cousins. One of the cousins didn't want to sell any of the properties so it became a long drawn out deal with the courts to partition the properties so he could keep some of it and everyone else could sell their shares. I thought 5 years was a nightmare so I can't imagine dealing with that for decades. That family would be better off taking what they can get for the properties and being done with the whole situation. I've seen similar situations where ppl vastly overestimate the value of inherited property and hold on to it for years thinking theyll eventually find a buyer that will offer what they want..all the while the home or homes become dated and eventually dilapidated, further devaluing them. Inheritance is a weird thing that can create a lot of family drama, and even destroy families.
The Family can file claims for their property not to be placed on sale, since the Husband passed away, while his last will is not yet finalized, his Japanese Wife can file a claim, since the materials cost for the property and OVER-ALL maintenance is TAXED, there shouldn't be a tax evasion case to be filed since it is taxed from its construction and completion. It can be reconciled when the immediate family presents themselves as claimants and restore what NEEDS to be restored. The husband might have anticipated as well his property's under warranty from its Suppliers and Developers and that it shouldn't be placed into those types of Case, since more than 2 decades and half that is abandoned, has constituted the amount and the payments made prior to construction and completion in such span of time. The assets supply and its equipment should be reconciled accordingly, restore and put back to its rightful owner. The Government and the Private owner is compliant in its TAX in legal standards of completion, it so happen that the owner passed away unprecedented. The rule of law reconciles accordingly for this types of Case, and that the Laws are always for the Benefit of its rightful owner.

Hi everebody, I'm from Italy. This video really make me think about history. This kind of mansion generally refers to Northen and Northern - Eastern Europe architecture (France, Germany ... All the Northen Countries as seen from Italy ). Wooden structures are common from Alpi line to the Northern countries ... They have wooden buildings to protect themselves from the cold. The letter says (I hope I can make sense): Dear Dad, I wish you a Happy birthday and a Happy new year at the same time. My short letter is a gift, It's not a properly made present, because real gifts are not pieces of paper, but mine one is given with all my heart.
Hello! The radiator with the doors was to keep plates of food warm. I think it dates back to Victorian era. Such a great idea for the pre microwave era!
A beautiful house ,stunning staircase. If only the walls could give you the last moments and memories of the family. A awesome find Dave, would be amazing to restore.
The staircase is visible from everywhere in the house. It is amazing. I love the way you bring the house alive with your storytelling as you bring us along. Thanks!
Hit the like button for Dave,he deserves it,he's great at what he does, someone not hitting like button,there is 6 times people watching than he has likes,looks so clean and perfect looking upstairs,yeah I know those other guys and watch their content
That wood sculpture near the stuffed duck, 😂 is probably drift wood that's been coated 😅😊 I've got same, cheers 🍻 from Australia ❤ great videos mate 👍 ❤ 😊
It’s really sad when a family disappears.and their home and belongings are left to rot . I just wish someone could sort it out . See you next time take care xx
How is this not sold to be brought back to life with all the beautiful details of the home . But it’s awesome that no one has gone in and destroyed the beautiful home and the items in it .
That mansion is absolutely beautiful, the details and the care put into everything. I think the powerful man from Japan caught up with her and the kids. Either way great find Dave
@@penelopenorth955 Would you leave everything behind though if you leave to avoid paying your debts? That place looks like they quickly grabbed what they could and rushed out the door.
Those grounds had to be magnificent back in the day. The stairs and all the woodwork - wow. We have no idea what others go through - that had to be scary.
My mum and dad visited Italy back in the 1990's and they described Italy as being beautiful and the people were wonderful. Also mum believed in Italian furniture as it really is well made and lasts so long and is pretty beautiful. What a beautiful mansion and it is always a shame when you see these places abandoned and rotting away it makes me so sad to know that no one cares for these places anymore. Thank you for translating the letters that was cool. You always appreciate everything within these beautiful properties. You have a good heart huni and such a wonderful creator. Just so you know I saw a small key on top of a curtain at the beginning of this video. The curtain was draped over a chair I think so maybe that was the key to the desk?? Stay safe and I bet you had a blast in Italy x
The staircase is spectacular, but I would trade it for every window in the house. There was little mention of some of the most beautiful glass I’ve ever seen.
Glad you got home safely in the end! The woodwork in this place is stunning, it must of been hard for them to leave here even if they had to, I’ve got 3 girls so it always hits a little harder when it’s children involved
Omg, I love it. Beats an ugly modern mansion any day. The character. The beautiful decor. The beauty of each individual room. The gorgeous furniture & ornaments. Its stunning. Imagine how amazing it was back in the day. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this awesome home. The detailed crown moldings, fireplace mantles, the wallpaper and antique furniture just gorgeous. What looks to be stunning views. The gorgeous, real wood throughout. Beautiful chandeliers. Each room you enter gets more beautiful. What an amazing mansion
Thank you so much! Of all the videos you’ve done on abandoned properties, this one hit me the hardest. Those boys are beautiful. I pray they escaped and have regained their complete freedom to thrive. Lovely home too.
There should be a group of people who go and collect some vintage or antique items from places like these to save them or give them new life to save those fragments of history I agree with you it's sad to see it all go to waste
The last paragraph of the right hand side 'letter' (they are actually notes) reads: We have to be particularly selective and demanding with the staff, assigning specific tasks so that, responsibly, everyone does his share 😮
Man, i would love to go and explore a mansion like this with you guys. Seriously, how cool would that be to step back I time and explore the past? I live in Pennsylvania, and we have our fair share of abandoned mansions that I've gone through, but nothing like the places you've seen. Thank you for what you do and for taking us with you on your adventures.
I’m in love already! The sound of the bells and the birds . . . Heaven. I’m so glad you were able to go back to this place. I remember when you were there before. When you’re standing on the 2nd floor looking across and down to the piano in the alcove, I remember that, a little worse for wear, but beautiful. The foos table and the ping pong table downstairs and the Japanese table. All so very beautiful. Didn’t realize in the last one how close you were to the neighbors. Thank you for taking us back there, Italy is truly beautiful. Another placeI’d never get to see if it weren’t for you. Hope you men eventually enjoyed your visit, and as always, stay safe❤
At 3:28 it looks like you are walking through a jungle. I don't know if there is such a thing there, but I think maybe something like witness protection might be the reason for leaving. Before you went upstairs, where was the bathroom?
What an absolutely amazing place! It's stunning, everything about it was a feast for the eyes! The stair case was alone a work of art. I wonder what the husband did, or his family. But I didn't get the impression that it was a multi-generational house that spanned over the decades, like many others that size. And it did look like they had only hours to hurry up, pack and leave. I'm sure they must have had a house keeper who stayed behind and not told where they were going. That is a fascinating story. Didn't you take a photo of that letter you wanted to share with us? Wonderful video Dave!!!
What a magnificent home!! Love your story telling as always mate. Sorry I've been absent. After 6 weeks in a coma it took me a while to recover in rehab to learn to talk n eat etc again. My memory can be up n down and UA-cam doesn't always notify me on uploads despite me having ring notification on. Been watching you for years my weary traveller. I miss Mark..he needs to get out n about with you more!!! Love n Hugs from Queensland, Australia 🦘🇦🇺🌏
I just watched the old video that you did here and so much stuff is actually missing. There used to be a bronze statue of a cherub riding a winged dragon right beside the staircase, books in the bookcases, flowers everywhere that were plastic, more pics on the walls, and lots more furniture even in the kitchen. The beginning of the staircase whole complete not broken like it is now. Even the TV's are different now. I hope that it was the family that took the stuff but don't think it was though. That is a mystery for another day I guess. Have a great day and safe travels
Maybe the lady wasnt used to such a huge house and felt uneasy or she got like cabin fever being secluded there.I recall seeing this explore but if it was same place everything looked newer and there was three times the furniture and knick knacks.Great explore Thank You!
Remember this place from first time u visited, BTW Telefunken was the main TV brand in the 80's 90's here in Italy, all my husbands family had at least one and it was our first TV in 1984 ❤
History buffs have dubbed it the "Japanese Villa," and with good reason! The owners, Cristina and Alberto, were deeply passionate about Japanese culture. Their love for Japan is evident in every detail, from the stunning artwork to the way they decorated their home. They even expanded their family by adopting two children from Japan. Rumors swirl about the current state of the villa and the reason for its abandonment. Some whispers suggest Alberto built his fortune in Japan through less-than-savory means. Another theory claims the family fled Italy over a decade ago due to tax fraud, leaving everything behind.
Gorgeous house ! The mosaic tile en suite was shocking and the architecture is stunning, privacy locks on doors are quite normal, they where on our family house in the 80s when I was growing up before we changed for newer doors...
That is a gorgeous home , I wish someone would save it. Also the story of the family makes me curious. The children must be grown by now. Thanks for the tour, love from Texas.
0:40 OrB above your head there. Trippy 8:20 bright ! Orb between flash and his head coming towards us . 8:26 orb rite of screen like wrapping around his head then coming towards us .
Anyone living in the mountains in Italy has back locks like that, we had them on an apartment in the city..crime is everywhere, they probably left due to taxes, many back then didn't pay taxes, then the Gov started catching up with them, property tax, ect probably wasn't paid in years hence get out before the taxmen caught up, plus the up keep of such a Villa would be huge and not go un noticed by local Gov..alot could have happened, I've lived in Sicily since 82..and alot has changed, for the best, ❤
He keeps dismissing the dates on things, like the Range Rover pamphlet saying 2001, then the newspaper 2014... yeah dont think its been abandoned since the 80s or 90s
Great exploration of this mansion Dave. I remember your first video on this place and it seems like there was alot more stuff inside than now. I will go and watch the first one again. Have a great day and safe travels
Such a vast mansion Dave , a beautiful exploration and why would any one want to leave this place to rot , you must of been roasting in Italy 😅 bless you , as always an incredible story attached and you putting yourself in harms way for us , thank you ❤❤
That's changed a lot from when I last saw it. Lots pulled out and scattered. So glad it hasn't been vandalised and trashed. Shame about the left staircase guard lion being damaged.
Hi Dave, Dan, Andrew, & Josh!! 😉 This was Absolutely a Beautiful Abandoned Mansion in Italy!! I Loved the Staircase, Chandeliers, Furniture, Bedrooms, Bathrooms & Stained Glass Doors & Windows!! I think French Husband & Japanese Wife & 2 Children, Left when They Heard Ex Husband was Coming or or French Husband left her after You Read Child`s Letter & Wife was Crying & she Left with the 2 Children!! Very Sad Story, for Them to Leave Their Home!! Thanks for Telling Us & showing Us this Mansion!!😍 All of You Take Care & have a Safe Trip to Your Next Journey!! 😍 Have a Wonderful Evening!!❤ Love You Loads Barb from Central Illinois USA❣
What a beautiful place even with all the decay going on. The staircase and all the beautiful furniture left behind the photo's of the children and the heart breaking letters written by the children. Thank you Dave what a sad story. Take care.
I found almost the exact toy police car on ebay for sale except not a convertible. It didnt have a date of manufacture but thats a 70s or 80s model corvette stingray.
❤Dave , Dan ,Andrew and Josh i follow you all ..really Enjoyed this Thankyou for taking us along.. my daughter goes to Florence next week travelling xx
Is it just me, coincidence I'm not sure but it seems like all or most of these homes, mansions are abandoned at Christmas time?! Love the radiator with cabinet. I grew up in an old farmhouse in the states, never saw or had one with a cabinet. But we would put our mittens on them in the winter. Another awesome video Dave!!!😊❤🧡💛💚💜♥️
Thank you so much for doing this one. It never disappoints. I find the history almost as intriguing as the house. Just keep doing what you’re doing. I appreciate EVERYTHING YOU DO! Looking forward to the next one 😊
Great tour and vid style! I am disapointed you did not Mention the art glass panels and the stained glass windows. Truly beautiful and could have another life. Maybe I missed you mentioning them? 😊
I've followed Josh for a long time. Seen Dan in his videos often. You look familiar, but don't know you. I enjoyed your video. I love exploring mansions. Thank you. I'm from the US.
Wait. At 32:22 what was the newspaper clipping? I am very curious because she took time to clip it and save it in nightstand drawer. And. At 33:14, just a shower at the bottom of stairs seems so very odd.
Man that looks big,seems she was afraid of something, maybe her ex had something to do with disappearing,yes that staircase is beautiful,this a good one Dave ,you do a great job,lots of nice things left and furniture,I would love to have showers that big,weird no one next of kin come take care of it,this is such a good one
The way there's still so much belongings and property present makes me feel really deeply. It's not empty like the people packed and moved to a different house. It's left as if they intended to return. Like when you hear about a family experiencing a tragedy while on vacation. But even then, family would normally come and pack up, the property sold to someone else.
Thank you for another great video. You do a wonderful job. And you also care. Most explores don't seem to care. You have a wonderful personality and a caring heart ❤. Keep up the great work. May God bless you and your family and friends. Thank you again for everything you do.
Dave I have watched you from the start and love the respect you give to these places and everything in them even being caring to shut windows and so on so that animals don't get trapped inside 💗🐦❤🕊️ your awesome Dave❣️ also, thank you for showing us this beautiful place... That staircase is just amazing 😍 so beautiful and I wish it could be saved.💗
hi Dave and guys nice video good to hear about the story of the house and sad hope you guys were safe out there 🙏🙏🙏🙏 and careful you are so funny hope to see more videos you are so amazing and you do a great job on your videos the house is a little creepy 😱😱 I always look forward to watching your videos hope to see you soon with Mark much ❤️ to you guys thanks for sharing
I saw this house video when you did it the first time Dave. Lovely house & a sad story. Maybe they were on that plane that totally disappeared a few years ago!!! ××
Not that it matters but I did watch a lot of videos depicting strange creatures in the woods, called cryptids/alien beings etc, and personally since I am not about to become part of the food chain you would never see me in a forested area like that especially living in the woods - nevertheless it's a beautiful mansion
Need you all to share the hell out of this xx ❤
So maybe she is with a very wealthy man, and doesn't need any of her old life now. If you could find out if the house is in court, sold or eviction, that would smash the assuming huh! Speculations! I'd rather know!! Great content #Dave!
Maybe the French man is loaded, and she was like, bubeyyyeee
#Dave
I remember you brought the yellow ducky last time, it was on the stair handrail I think!! ✌️😶🌫️

Has anyone looked for a safe room? May have been trapped in it

That is a mystery for another day I guess. Have a great day and safe travels
Love this video and the story! The two little boys are so handsome! Hope all their lives tuned out to be awesome! Thanks for sharing!❤
Wow Dave what a place and a sad story . Would love to know where they all went. Hope they are safe and happy. Thank you for all your hard work 😊
Maybe the lady wasnt used to such a huge house and felt uneasy or she got like cabin fever being secluded there.I recall seeing this explore but if it was same place everything looked newer and there was three times the furniture and knick knacks.Great explore Thank You!
Remember this place from first time u visited, BTW Telefunken was the main TV brand in the 80's 90's here in Italy, all my husbands family had at least one and it was our first TV in 1984 ❤
History buffs have dubbed it the "Japanese Villa," and with good reason!
The owners, Cristina and Alberto, were deeply passionate about Japanese culture. Their love for Japan is evident in every detail, from the stunning artwork to the way they decorated their home. They even expanded their family by adopting two children from Japan.
Rumors swirl about the current state of the villa and the reason for its abandonment. Some whispers suggest Alberto built his fortune in Japan through less-than-savory means.
Another theory claims the family fled Italy over a decade ago due to tax fraud, leaving everything behind.
Gorgeous house ! The mosaic tile en suite was shocking and the architecture is stunning, privacy locks on doors are quite normal, they where on our family house in the 80s when I was growing up before we changed for newer doors...
Wow another brilliant vid Dave,the mansion was awesome and the view was beautiful loved every minute of it ❤
Wow what a stunning mansion! I really love the staircase! Very cool find & video bro! ❤️👍🤘
Amazing exterior architecture 🤔
What a luxurious garden.
Beautifull staircase. A lot of splendid things. Woaw.
Great spot. Tx
Fascinating ! Beautiful house , hope the family stayed safe 🦋🇬🇧
Dave that wood flooring is called Parkay flooring. It wàs really popular in the 40s and the 50s. Enjoying the video.
Thanks for sharing.
I loved this mansion. I wish I had the money to buy it and bring it back to its original look.
That is a gorgeous home , I wish someone would save it. Also the story of the family makes me curious. The children must be grown by now. Thanks for the tour, love from Texas.
0:40 OrB above your head there. Trippy
8:20 bright ! Orb between flash and his head coming towards us .
8:26 orb rite of screen like wrapping around his head then coming towards us .
Hi Dave and Dan! I love watching all of you boys videos. You help to keep this old gal entertained! Thanks to you both!
Anyone living in the mountains in Italy has back locks like that, we had them on an apartment in the city..crime is everywhere, they probably left due to taxes, many back then didn't pay taxes, then the Gov started catching up with them, property tax, ect probably wasn't paid in years hence get out before the taxmen caught up, plus the up keep of such a Villa would be huge and not go un noticed by local Gov..alot could have happened, I've lived in Sicily since 82..and alot has changed, for the best, ❤
What's changed, old people still struggling to support themselves and young people are leaving because there is not much work.
Wow imagine that staircase and it gleam g with the rich red carpet.Fantastic mansion so sad it’s just left.Thanku Dave for showing us around
Im engineer ,that extra lock on the door is fullon heavy duty!! Alot of personal stuff 😢😮
That staircase is beautiful ! It's terrible that this beautiful building it left to rot 😔 would love to have seen it before it was abandoned.
He keeps dismissing the dates on things, like the Range Rover pamphlet saying 2001, then the newspaper 2014... yeah dont think its been abandoned since the 80s or 90s
Other people have visited and leave dated items such as newspapers.
@@Sunsetskiescloudydayspeople bring newspapers into a place they’re exploring? No, that doesn’t seem likely
Great exploration of this mansion Dave. I remember your first video on this place and it seems like there was alot more stuff inside than now. I will go and watch the first one again. Have a great day and safe travels
Such a vast mansion Dave , a beautiful exploration and why would any one want to leave this place to rot , you must of been roasting in Italy 😅 bless you , as always an incredible story attached and you putting yourself in harms way for us , thank you ❤❤
Not much dust or cobwebs compared to others we’ve seen. Definitely a beautiful staircase! And the colorful windows!
I really wish This Place would get restored .. Great find !!! also I think that police car toy is from the 50s 60s maybe even 70s
That's changed a lot from when I last saw it. Lots pulled out and scattered. So glad it hasn't been vandalised and trashed. Shame about the left staircase guard lion being damaged.
Hi Dave, Dan, Andrew, & Josh!! 😉 This was Absolutely a Beautiful Abandoned Mansion in Italy!!
I Loved the Staircase, Chandeliers, Furniture, Bedrooms, Bathrooms & Stained Glass Doors & Windows!!
I think French Husband & Japanese Wife & 2 Children, Left when They Heard Ex Husband was Coming or
or French Husband left her after You Read Child`s Letter & Wife was Crying & she Left with the 2 Children!!
Very Sad Story, for Them to Leave Their Home!! Thanks for Telling Us & showing Us this Mansion!!😍
All of You Take Care & have a Safe Trip to Your Next Journey!! 😍 Have a Wonderful Evening!!❤
Love You Loads Barb from Central Illinois USA❣
What a beautiful place even with all the decay going on. The staircase and all the beautiful furniture left behind the photo's of the children and the heart breaking letters written by the children. Thank you Dave what a sad story. Take care.
Incredible place! I loved the winding footpath.
Wow Dave what a great explore, love the stain glass windows. What a mystery I hope the family are safe somewhere. Thank you
I found almost the exact toy police car on ebay for sale except not a convertible. It didnt have a date of manufacture but thats a 70s or 80s model corvette stingray.
❤Dave , Dan ,Andrew and Josh i follow you all ..really Enjoyed this Thankyou for taking us along.. my daughter goes to Florence next week travelling xx
Loved this explore. What a beautiful place! I especially admired the staircase and the round shower with windows all around it.
Is it just me, coincidence I'm not sure but it seems like all or most of these homes, mansions are abandoned at Christmas time?! Love the radiator with cabinet. I grew up in an old farmhouse in the states, never saw or had one with a cabinet. But we would put our mittens on them in the winter. Another awesome video Dave!!!😊❤🧡💛💚💜♥️
Thankyou Dave your explores are brilliant that mansion is absolutely amazing out of this world 😊 all our love from Suffolk
I'll bet NONE of the wine is any his! It's standing up, it has to be on it's side wetting the cork!!✌️
I didn't know that Josh was with you guys too, so hi to Josh! Love you all! Stay safe boys!
Thank you so much for doing this one. It never disappoints. I find the history almost as intriguing as the house. Just keep doing what you’re doing. I appreciate EVERYTHING YOU DO! Looking forward to the next one 😊
Great video Dave. Loved the detail you gave on the house and family. Loved the great craftsmanship on the furniture.
This is unbelievable!! WOW - thanks so much! ❤
Great tour and vid style!
I am disapointed you did not Mention the art glass panels and the stained glass windows. Truly beautiful and could have another life. Maybe I missed you mentioning them? 😊
Great house and great video loved it so much so exciting and you explaining tmsome history about it xx
The furniture is beautiful,makes you wonder where did they go .Perhaps her husband caught up with them 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️
I've followed Josh for a long time. Seen Dan in his videos often. You look familiar, but don't know you. I enjoyed your video. I love exploring mansions. Thank you. I'm from the US.
Love ya lots, Dave! You are my favorite Abandoned Explorer!! Hope to see ya in the USA lots in the future!! You are a True kind Soul!!❤🙋♀️🕊
That bed is gorgeous! So sad. Be safe guys. Love you all 💕💕💕💙💙
Wait. At 32:22 what was the newspaper clipping? I am very curious because she took time to clip it and save it in nightstand drawer. And. At 33:14, just a shower at the bottom of stairs seems so very odd.
The wooden sculpture in the entry is likely driftwood. I appreciate this video so very much. Thank you
Man that looks big,seems she was afraid of something, maybe her ex had something to do with disappearing,yes that staircase is beautiful,this a good one Dave ,you do a great job,lots of nice things left and furniture,I would love to have showers that big,weird no one next of kin come take care of it,this is such a good one
Wow Dave is exploring with josh ,the mansion is beautiful just got look pass all that stuff ,a great find Dave
This house DESERVES to have a family living it again.. such a shame😢
The way there's still so much belongings and property present makes me feel really deeply. It's not empty like the people packed and moved to a different house. It's left as if they intended to return. Like when you hear about a family experiencing a tragedy while on vacation. But even then, family would normally come and pack up, the property sold to someone else.
Thank you for another great video. You do a wonderful job. And you also care. Most explores don't seem to care. You have a wonderful personality and a caring heart ❤. Keep up the great work. May God bless you and your family and friends. Thank you again for everything you do.
Dave I have watched you from the start and love the respect you give to these places and everything in them even being caring to shut windows and so on so that animals don't get trapped inside 💗🐦❤🕊️ your awesome Dave❣️ also, thank you for showing us this beautiful place... That staircase is just amazing 😍 so beautiful and I wish it could be saved.💗
hi Dave and guys nice video good to hear about the story of the house and sad hope you guys were safe out there 🙏🙏🙏🙏 and careful you are so funny hope to see more videos you are so amazing and you do a great job on your videos the house is a little creepy 😱😱 I always look forward to watching your videos hope to see you soon with Mark much ❤️ to you guys thanks for sharing
I remember when you come here the first-time its still beautiful I love every thing Japanese it so nice to see this home again
The family just ran away to safety, I believe. No one wants to live with an abusive person.💪💪💪
I saw this house video when you did it the first time Dave. Lovely house & a sad story. Maybe they were on that plane that totally disappeared a few years ago!!! ××
Beautiful mansion!! Great explore as usual. Glad I subscribed to your channel I find myself watching 5 or 6 videos a day.
This mansion is stunning!
Awesome house. 🏠Thanks for sharing this beautiful place. ✨❤😍
Keep sharing everyone helps dave alot 👍 👏
Someone should buy this house and bring it to life again
Haha got a million pounds to spare?
Not that it matters but I did watch a lot of videos depicting strange creatures in the woods, called cryptids/alien beings etc, and personally since I am not about to become part of the food chain you would never see me in a forested area like that especially living in the woods - nevertheless it's a beautiful mansion
My heart is hurting seeing all the toys bless them ❤
