Never was owned by any person, but was financed by a investments corporation and assigned for use for the return of investment from MGM studios.This structure was used ofr numerous movies. One I watched recently was made I believe in 1958 (and shockingly this is a 1950s structure along with its features. The last movie that showed parts taken in this structure starred Walter Mathau portraying the role of a an black mailing a man that was cheating on his wife. Those mattresses are where filming camera staff as well as some of the actors could freshen up,being just 30 minutes of a one and a half hour movie can consist of 30 days. MGM investors didnt care about the 250K spent on that when their return for just one movie brought them an entire 50 million dollars based on some 30% earning for their share. The toys scattered about? Simply people living there illegally No paint on the exterior? Because MGM didnt want to attract attention and during the movies that were made the stars and filming took place in homes in other areas that were leased. Now you know the stor. Many of these are located under ground in whats called area 51 and the UFO is a hoax only to keep people out and to make them believe its military based property. The dick van dyke show is one of may that were filmed in area 51 and above ground but covered by military tin buidings. Area 51 is simply hollywood filming area and for comercials houses under ground and many other places

@@EarlGuyton425 do you know the location of this house? I think you may be mistaking it with another one. I know for certain that this was a home that was lived in...
every old house has a story, this one is creepy, it's hard to picture a normal life in it, I don't know why, I just get an uneasy feeling about this one.
I can envision people living there. I bet it was beautiful in it’s day. I think they probably bought new mattresses and stored the old one’s downstairs. There was a lot of bedrooms.
cindy maulden, this house looks a bit too familiar like I know it and lived in it. I don’t know where this is or what house it is. I have never stepped foot in that house before but it feels so idk like home.
It's sad to think that there are thousands of homeless people in the U.S. but still, there are huge abandoned houses just sitting around and left to rot.
Alot of homeless choose that lifestyle unfortunately alot is through addiction this house would need too much repairs for a regular family I agree and it's such a waste I see it in my country people on housing list in Ireland and many perfect houses boarded up makes no sense...

The “Self Esteem” butterfly sticker comes from the clothing line of the same name. It was available in J. C. Penney department stores in the 1990’s. The butterfly logo glitter stickers were part of the label on each item. #funfacts From the front windows and mold, I’d say this house has suffered severe storm damage- explaining the poor condition. The Spanish-style tile visible on the floor from the entrance back toward the kitchen was the height of “in” style in the late 90’s along with the stainless door handles. The laminate built-ins with stainless hardware are also typical of late 1990’s higher end decore; and the rich blue master bath tile would also date from about 1995. The linen closet with the heat lamp was super odd. I have never seen that, and I’ve seen a lot. Unless it’s meant to warm snow jackets before going out or blankets for guests, I cannot understand it. Frankly, the style of the house has a very “Miami Vice” look. You’re in upstate NY, but that home was white everywhere, Spanish floor tile, and Mediterranean tile in the Master Bath - typical of Miami design in the mid to late 90’s.
@SagePeachy I'd love to know what the town building inspector has to say about who lived there, when it was built, why it is disintegrating back into the earth? Built on wetlands? Owned by drug dealers? Mysterious. Thank you for the comments, I was thinking late 60's early 70's due to the intercom system but the relatively new garage door makes sense 1990's.

@@christinapursley5574 a rehab facility wouldn’t have liquor logos posted on the wall; a wine cellar and be practically hidden from all visible Line of sight
Am guessing who ever left the place like a bank that tuck it due to nonpayment or security that is paid to keep people from entering as not sure if it same in america but in the UK if someone goes in and hurts or kills themselves it is down to the person or company that owns the place as they should of secured the place.
Everytime I look at videos of old abandoned home, i always try to picture what they looked like when they were new and the original families were in them.
It's hard to speculate on the history of this house. Everyone seems to have noticed some of the obvious - 'oddities' - such as the many mattresses, and the toys (even their relative condition compared to the rest of the house); the commercial feel of some of the fixtures and furnishings such as switches. Two large 'master's bedrooms'. Padlocks and locks on various doors, seeming to indicate that rooms were locked from the outside. That this is remote and the money obviously invested in it sort of indicate that this being a typical shelter, orphanage, etc is unlikely. But here's what I noticed, and thought as I watched. There was a very institutional feel - like private institution. Toward the beginning of the video, before he got to the kitchen, he panned across two adjoining rooms, and there was a 'window' between them. This reminded me of an institution I worked in which meds were kept in a 'room' about the size of a large closet, and the person administering the meds would hand them out the 'window' to the patients. The one room had shelves in it. The other was a large open room - like a 'rec room'. The bedrooms with single mattresses - seemed dorm like. Each had their own bathrooms. I would not rule out trafficking. But honestly this is more like a privately funded institution. I've worked in them, and in our area we have one that is ran for rich families that want to stash away mentally ill family members (that still happens :( ). Just some thoughts.
You mean if someone is wealthy they can illegally put their mentally ill family away ? In this day in time? Welp I guess If you say you have seen it then it must be true . Just hard to imagine
@@soph5669 yes it is true. It isnt illegal if the person is deemed unstable. And for rich families it would be a taint on their name and lifestyle to have a mentally ill person. Think about the Rosemary Kennedy situation.
I thought you were exploring some kind of shed like house and it turned out the size of a minor city. 😯 And with some creepy energies right through the screen...
I wonder if plumbing problems led to so much rot and the collapsed floor? Perhaps it was abandoned by the original owners much further back than 2006 and human traffickers used it as a hideout? Ot must have been a beautiful house when it was new. I love all the storage places and windows.
I honestly felt weird vibes when you first walked in. The set-up was the first thing that I thought was strange. The mattresses are definitely weird, I find them to be weirder than the amount of toys. Who knows what that place could've been used for, especially since it's in the middle of the woods. I'm really hoping nothing sinister happened there.
They had a lot of large houses up there like this built between the 60s to 80s. Either churches, clubs or companies owned them. The ones that lasted past the 80s would be sold to private owners and they rented them out to groups for skiing, camping, or family reunions, etc.
I'm thinking maybe a home for unwed mothers incorrigible Wayward teens, kids with mental disabilities their parents don't want to deal with send them to a home out of sight out of mind
@Loren Johnson they wouldn’t put troubled teens or wayward young women in a place with such huge nice windows and amenities. I think it was a normal wealthy family’s vacation home and later squatters did who knows what in there once abandoned. BUT the much newer looking toys and number of mattresses and cots (the wealthy peoples furniture is long gone and they wouldn’t put their weekend guests on cots most likely), are why everyone is thinking the worst. Hopefully it was just squatters with kids.
*_+JPVideos_* So, this is just a theory, as everyone has had one, and I don't wish to dismiss anyone's "creep feels" about the place, but here it is: It _could_ have been some kind of vacation rental retreat, Bed & Breakfast sort of set-up, and/or meant for multiple people groups, family reunion style guests, or friend groups, etc., who wanted to spend a week or more away from civilization and hustle and bustle, while not really giving up the comforts of a modern and nice place to stay. Peaceful, or at the least, mostly private and secluded. What could have been the ultimate downfall was that black mold began inside the walls, eventually working its way outward. Literally eating away the house, and contaminating everything inside of it. People may have actually gotten sick, and it could have caused inspections and investigations. I will also say that it has to be the strangest architectural floor plan design I have ever seen. Really odd. Poorly built? It appeared to me that many of the ceilings, walls, floors, appliances and fixtures were intentionally torn out and perhaps documented for insurance and/or lawsuit inspections. It seemed methodical in certain areas where the black mold was most likely to be found in walls, floors, ceilings, etc. It just seems too strange that some places were torn out that way. For what purpose? All of that mold is also a very good reason for you adventurous explorers to wear protective gear (gloves, suits, breathing protection). Just looking out for you! ;) Most of the things left behind and abandoned, as well as more things that I wonder what they ultimately did with, such as bedding, sheets, pillows, curtains, etc. None could ever be "cleaned up" and reused anywhere else, just like all the mattresses, etc.-- _and_ those things are very expensive to be disposed of, just call your local landfill to see. Naturally, many people may say that all of the damage, decay and mold came _after_ the abandonment of the dwelling, and of course that is absolutely possible. But it is also possible that it began when occupied, ultimately caused the abandonment of the business venture, or whatever it was called. Black mold slowly sickens or kills people in nice homes in the middle of towns or in the city. It is not so far of a reach to expect it could happen in such an isolated area, especially if conditions are always humid. So, that is just a more "sanitized" and different type of _disgusting_ theory that looks in a different direction from a more sinister and nefarious explanation. It is not out of the realm of possibility that it was used for one or more of the horrific hypotheses posted. I just thought I'd share a different point of view, even if it does not carry any of the creepy feelings with it. More just "icky" in another way. Thanks for sharing your adventure and discovery. What an adventurous job (or hobby?)! Be safe out there! Thanks for letting me share one possibility of a different sort. ~Peace!
I agree with you. This place is like a business with commercial fixtures and lighting. To be honest, it looks like one of those fancy drug treatment centers you would find in California. Too many communal areas. I bet it looked nice when it was built. Maybe it was a home for pregnant teens.
Thank u. My husband and I deal with eviction and repair. I was saying that u nvr know why a house had to be abandoned. And mattresses are often the first thing people leave.
The numbers written on the bathrooms one had 1 - 3, another said 8 - 10, makes me think it was assigned bathrooms to rooms. Treatment center (my home town has one that is a historic home that is mom's with kids) or group home that was converted from a private home, which is why I think it has some of the really nice fixtures like the cigar humidor and expensive bathroom with a bidet.
I agree, and to add, the numbers you see written on the walls was probably written by insurance adjusters so they can identify which walls were in which rooms. It certainly looks like black mold devoured this building. Could have been part of the "sick house syndrome". Which was soon to become a great epidemic in American building. I estimate this house was built in the 60's, judging from the central vac, the central stereo system and the prairie style windows.
Crazy thing is toys not that old looking compared to the actual home meaning that children have been kept here in this horrible place, really would like to find out more,hopefully not still being used as a pick up location for abducted children, police should investigate
Seems like maybe they renovated to accommodate more people, that would be my guess as to why the front is so cramped and doesn’t match the rich feel of the rest of the home.
This house with all the windows and being able to see the trees Outside and nature would have been beautiful... hopefully nothing creepy or child abuse happened there...
If it is/was a "Bible Camp", then, there was plenty of Child Abuse, of Nighmarish proportions. It is, still, legal, to Abuse Children, Mentally, apparently, so, why the hell, not. "Morally superior" christians and their Indoctrination process. Bless their evil hearts.
@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113Bible Camp? What modern-day Bible Camps have been accused of such depravity? Did you see any Bibles here? Any crucifixes? Bible verses painted on the walls? No?

Creepy. Looks like a child porn house a lot of bad things had to of happen there...... Very disturbing. I'd report this location to the FBI. This might be a place to investigate for human trafficking for possible cases that we're solved. It was either a Legit orphanage or a abusive place for children. The city must have some kind of records of this home.
Or maybe a bed and breakfast that went out of business. Hence every bedroom having a bathroom kinda like a hotel. SMH. Or you're right, maybe a child porn house. That sounds much more plausible.
The mattresses may have been added after the house was abandoned- maybe left cause of mold & shoddy work then turned into a party house. Baby may have outgrown bed-- don't think the worse of folks till you know
There was something going on there that would probably curl your toes ...I think you should call attention to this to the sheriff of this county , district , whatever ...the amount of mold there could give you a permanent lung problem ..get an inexpensive respirator for places like this ...just the seclusion , with all the signs of children raises my hackles ...I think it's very important for authorities to investigate this .
sue eason I agree that it appears that place was used for trafficking. There are children toys and LOTS of beds and TONS of rooms in the woods! It SCREAMS children! They OBVIOUSLY left quickly! Check for fingerprints.
agreed. I cant think of any other reason as to why so many twin beds would be in such a secluded and hidden home and how majority of the belongings found were all children's items.
Maybe because twin beds cost like $60 and queen and kings are 3x to 10x that amount, they left the twin mattresses and box springs but took the larger mattresses- except the two in the most mold over grown rooms? The guy set the scene as being creepy and pointed out the mattresses so now everybody has their panties in a twist. My mom owns a 55,000 sq ft home with 5 rooms that could be bedrooms but only 3 are used as bedrooms as 2 are offices and she has accumulated so many mattresses from adult children moving and her own downsizing and upsizing of homes she probably has like 10 queen size mattresses. That doesn't mean that if she died and someone found her home abandoned with all the mattresses left inside that she was human trafficking...
@@megancasey5122 Ya, but she didn't live right in the middle of a forest and, also...how do you know for sure? I had a house that big once and when I moved I took "everything" with me. Who doesn't? That's pretty much what makes this house so damn creepy.
Hank Bridges In the video they said they found it on google maps, the same way most explorers find places to explore. Also in on what? No facts just conjecture. I’ll admit it’s got some secrets...
Child traffickers don't provide toys. They hold the children for less than 24 hours. They have buyers before they kidnap the children. They couldn't care less about them being happy, comfortable, clean or any other human decency. They are treated worse than shit on the bottom of your boot.
That is what i thought too but now i read the comments it worries me what all happened in this building. With that idea on my mind i wouldn't wanna live in it😖
@Gerdien Plomp I imagine it was a normal vacation house for a wealthy family who vacated before all of those mattresses and cots and toys were brought in. No one would have such a nice expensive home and put their guests on those type of cots. An abandoned house of this size and this secluded could easily be chosen from a second nefarious group... if our creeped out suspicions are close to true...
Barbara Zurek I know just sends chills knowing this could possibly be a child trafficking house. All those mattresses and the separation of the rooms. My stomach just cringed when he said someone put a lot of money into this place. 😢
Humanity was a mistake This house would cost way to much money 💰 to maintain for ‘homeless’ even before the decaying . Homeless people should only be helped till they get on their feet - never a life time of care .
Yeah it should be taken over by Homeless. Hey it's Shelter. Does not have to be perfect. Most sleep on the st. I would think in a room would be safer. BUT, as soon as they settled in Here would come an owner & put claim & want the state to pay saying they did the damage. 🙃
@@decahertz7779 I get that it could make you sick, but there are many things on the st's or areas that they are in that could make them sick & some are being abused, raped our news has shown Young men beating up on old Homeless. So Yep I think it's better. Also we don't have to agree. We can have a nice discussion. Have a Great wkend.
I was thinking on those lines also. This place had money put into it when it was built and a normal person just doesnt let it go like that. Somebody didnt care. That's the kind of place someone should want to get the history and investigate. The info is out there.
Yeah, same here. I was thinking if not human trafficking then, child pornography. But definitely creepy. I really hope someone finds out the truth. It looks like they sure left in a hurry.
Jp to me this house looks more like safe house for mother's and kids I think you didn't notice the numbers on the wall the first floor have 1-01 true 1-15 and then when you got to the base it was B-01 true B-05 so each room had a number on the wall if you check the video you will see what am taking about I like your videos
I find it weird that so many people jump to conclusions that this was linked to pedophile rings, child pornography or human trafficking, just because there were toys and mattresses around. Almost every abandoned house has mattresses in weird places, because homeless people move in. If this was abandoned in 2006, I figure many people must've moved in and out of this house in 14 years. It's not hard to imagine that one child in a house this big would've left his toys everywhere. There are so many possibilities...
No, homeless ppl dont carry a huge mattress that far into the forest thst many times. Those had to be brought in by an organized money making outfit...like drug dealers n porn filmers.
I know. It could be safe house for moms and kids, the crib could just be stored in the basement. Could be a polygamist family, cult, orphanage, pregnant teens? So many things that it's odd to just jump to child porn. Not saying bad things didn't happen there and leave creepy vibes.
Agree. Could have been a group home or had lots of fosters etc. people just want to creep themselves out. My first thought was a large foster group home, possibly for kids with special needs to be taught basic tasks like cooking, cleaning and being able to function semi independently. There are good people who run homes like that so that the children are more adoptable or can live with roommates and hold remedial jobs when they age out of foster care
I really don't wanna think the worse but there padlocks on the doors that lock on the Outside it's Secluded and there Toys and Mattresses but no Pictures of Families like most abandoned houses so this is probably a Mental Hospital but why is there Alcohol and Wine it's so huge I don't know and it's close to New York City this place is suspect but I could be wrong
Almost wonder if it isn’t a home lived in by a polygamy family..... big house.... lots of beds.... 2 master bedrooms....couple living rooms...... big outdoor space..... off the beaten path🤔
That house was built for somebody with money. You entered by what was obviously the servant's entrance. The first room with the intercom panel was probably the housekeeper's bedroom, next to it, her bathroom and private kitchen like how Alice's bedroom was just off the kitchen in the Brady Bunch house. The built-in sound system, sauna and wine cellar all scream, "money".The furniture and mattresses left behind don't look expensive, but they would have taken their good stuff with them. As for all the beds- that house is very secluded, maybe they would give parties or family celebrations like Christmas and have their guests stay over rather than sending them far away to a hotel. Funny how they never painted the walls and there is no sign of paintings or wall hangings anywhere. Perhaps it was a vacation home, or the family bought a property that was too big for their budget? The child's Playboy bunny hat is creepy, but I don't get the impression that anything disgusting happened there. Some people just have twisted imaginations and like to project darkness where there isn't any. What a waste of an interesting house, I could have done SO MUCH with that.
Upon seeing this video my heart is in great pain.. Especially the crib that had a board on top of it. Poor little angels that had suffered in this house This house looks like for human trafficking..
@Tara Rae Anything is Possible, never claimed I had the Definite Answer, just going by my gut feeling that this Place was had used for more Ominous of reasons, and I hope I actually am Wrong..
Ahhh! Now that you mention it Lauraul, that seems like the most plausible idea! I had thought possibly a group home, but what you suggest makes a bit more sense!
@@lisamartin3734 - Lisa, did you notice the old spa room? That was a really lux place! Would young mom's be in such a ritzy place I wonder? I too wondered about either a women/childs home or some kind of children's home because of all the rooms and the location. But, the more JP walked through it seems there were some pretty nice amenities there. Thanks for your comment. If you re-watch the vid, I'd enjoy hearing any further observations you have. It was definitely a very cool explore! I am really surprised it could fall into such a state if it's only been empty since 2006(?). Someone did say they thought the place was falling into a sink hole.
YES....! This was indeed a "safe house" for battered women and their children to escape abusive ex-husbands/boyfriends. Its secluded location and relatively close proximity to Canada is also another major clue. My best wishes and prayers for everyone who passed through here; I hope they're finally free of their tormentors.
It’s a shame that house was left to rot, I can imagine how beautiful it was surrounded by all those trees and the huge windows!! Definitely got some “keeping people in their basement” vibes
Horrible conditions. You guys take some chances, but those of us who enjoy seeing abandoned homes appreciate your effort to go explore these places. This was once one hell of a house! Must have been beautiful at one time. Thanks for sharing with us.
You know that was my first thought when he walked in there an the hat was sitting there around a bunch of toys.there was much more going on in that house than trafficking I would say.
That place was very strange. Too many hallways with doors. The rooms had no character to them. Like white boxes all stuck together. All the mattresses and the toys was weird too. Who knows what went on there in a "HOUSE" in the woods. It could have been a place where they had kidnapped kids used in human trafficking, or a place where women and kids lived who were running away from the men in their lives, like a woman's shelter. It didn't really seem like a family lived there. It was some kind of an institution of some sort, good or bad.
I think you're right. I feel like this house was used for no good. Which is super sad because it looks like it would have been an absolutely stunning house! All that amazing natural lighting, the huge floor to ceiling windows, the space!!! I hope the person in the comments that said it could have been a private institution is right because otherwise..it looks like a beautiful home was used for horrible things!
This house is creepy and one of the ugliest ones I’ve seen, it gives me the creeps. I wouldn’t have liked it brand new it’s really weird. thank you for the video you did a great job. Be safe 🤯
It's so massive right!!! I lost count of how many rooms their were but it also looked very high tech and modern for that era so it must have been built by some wealthy people!
Obviously 😒 but for the time that it would have been built (probably 20+ years ago!) The tech which is built into the home is actually quite good quality and wouldn't have been affordable or accessible to other people! It's been empty 13 years but looks like it was built many years before that due to the appliances. The inbuilt speakers and lights would have been VERY modern and expensive for back then is what I mean 🤦
@@cg-ny9078 she found he failed to lock the door she was in she bolted to the front door trying to be quiet so she would not wake him up she made it screamed till someone came out of their home to see what the fuss is all about
Incredible find!! I have a different outlook than most. I didn’t find it creepy at all, but of course I wasn’t there. I think it was once a single family home with a lot of children. It actually reminds me of Edward Cullen’s family’s home in the “Twilight” Movies! Then I think they either took in foster children which would explain having all the extra mattresses, folding bed frames and baby beds/cribs to accommodate a lot of kids, plus all the toys/toy closet, or maybe a Safe House for battered women with children. They could put however many beds needed in a room so mom and kids could stay together. Maybe the mold issue is what forced the abandonment. Whatever the situation was this was an excellent explore!! Thanks and sorry I’m still so far behind in watching. My health is still an issue so I watch when I can. Take Care and Stay Safe out there!! 😁👋🏻 *That blue tile was gorgeous!
As a contractor I was thinking the same thing, that is definitely more than 13 yrs of damage. Makes you wonder if it was abandoned long before that and somebody was squatting there and that's their calendar.
DustyRose that's what I think it was a group home of some kind. When I was a kid these were common it would explain all the kids toys and mattreses as counselors would live in these facilities the state would pay them to house children and run these places.
A group home? Really?! With those klegal lights used for filming in one of those rooms. He didn't comment on them. And a wine cellar and liquor storage room. The liquor stickers on the door were the kinds of liquor they had in house. In a group home? I think there are videos floating around today filmed in this location. And the individual soaps like you'd find in a hotel. This place spoke of lots of sick sh__. And plenty of abused kids connected to this hideaway. Sad, sad, sad.
@@claudettej.7930 I am naive on stuff like that I guess. I was just responding with my first thoughts of what I thought of this place because he did ask in the video. lol
It would be so amazing if the previous owners saw this and responded.... like you idiots. We were trying to have an amazing bed and breakfast when our accountant stole everything. Or yep we are in jail for human trafficking as that's the reason we had this house. Either way, it would be awesome.
@@megancasey5122 Pfffft. If the owners WERE responsible for having this house be a part of child sex trafficking, I don't think they'd put themselves on blast on UA-cam.
I love how literally every explorer tries the switches knowing the light or whatever it's from does not work 😂 Well but this place gives me a strange vibe. 20+ mattresses? House placed in the middle of a forest? Kidnapping??? Yes they had a sauna and other nice stuff but that does not mean they couldn't keep children/people there...uuuugh
I know there's a million and one reasons why houses end up this way but I will never understand how something this awesome and secluded ends up going this route ? Wish we knew back stories.
This place must've been huge. Definately makes a person wonder why it was so secluded. With all of the sex trafficing nowadays,and all of those matresses,it definitly does make for a scary place! Awesome video!
Tiles for Mosaic art. The Windows maybe copper? Other then that it should be taken down unless it can't be for some reason. Scrap too from the appliances. It would be interesting to know who the original owners were. Maybe they defaulted on the house payment and walked away. But it looks like someone has Vanished out of sight. And it's probably been used by many ppl over the years all for various reasons.
Rhiannon DeLawder I find YOUR comment strange. I built that house and it wasn't built right. But, those nosy guys found it. I had 30 kids there. We sold them. So, THERE!

Looks like a high-end summer camp, to me. Of course, the Catskills were/are a summer destination for the wealthy from NYC, etc. The furnace(s), hot water heaters, etc. all seem designed for something other than a single family home, IMO.
Maybe that was a secret location for sex trafficking. I live in Pennsylvania and my friends and I like to explore abandoned houses also, and red flags always go up for us also when we see houses full of mattresses.
I think most think this place has a sinister vibe because it's so badly decayed. That really adds the "spook" factor. Outstanding explore though, couldn't be better. This is one of my all time favorites. I can only dream of a re visit lol
That's what I was thinking. That place was private for a reason. Way too many different little private spaces and rooms that do seem to fit into a normal functioning home. Excellent video. Very interesting.
Yep. And who needs a basement like that? I didn't like the vibes of the place either, and felt sick to my stomach when I saw the crib. Truly hope its not as it feels. I just got home from a 15 hour day, was eating ice cream and exploring an abandoned house, thanks to y'all. : ) Keep up the good work!
And the house is really away from the city i will never stay with that kind of place even though it is huge and beautiful not unless im hiding something or doing something illegal
I wonder why so many of the doors have dead bolt locks on them, especially for a residential home. Looks like they also had a security intercom system too. Wonder what the city records show. Thanks for the video.
@@marilyn8682 that's true but it's in the middle of the woods so there probably be no place to go to if you did escape that's if something evil was happening here
I agree. I don't think this channel spends much time going into that stuff. Much of it is online and once you know the owners you can search the papers etc. I've actually looked up the owners of a few videos he's done and in 1 I found he was a millionaire scam artists with a cult following and fake doctorates with earnings of $50,000 per city he would go through giving speaking engagements etc. It would make these videos a hundred times more interesting.
Has anyone found the address or location of this house? I'd like to see how far off the road it is. To me, I see something someone built in the mid 80s, early 90s. It's a custom home, so someone built it from their dream home idea and might have been successful, maybe even the home claims much of the land around it. Big houses of wealth can often have a long private road up to it. If this person was successful in the 80s, had a family, that family became teenagers and school was kind of an ordeal to get to everyday, they had multiple generations, and then in 2006 just before the housing economy took a dive in 2008, they may have decided it was not viable anymore. The problem with building your dream home in the woods is that mold, moisture, and accessibility all become too much. The "newer" looking toys were all very popular in that time, but those kids have to be adults now. I hesitate to get on board with this sex trafficking fear everyone has because of the uniqueness of the layout, and all the tropes of a mother in law's suite downstairs. I've seen houses with basements like that, and I have seen a lot of home saunas and none of them meant anything horrible. Twenty mattresses? Ten beds, ten mattresses, ten box springs. A lot of people get new ones when they move to not bring bugs with them. Anyway, public records will set it straight. If it was trafficking, there's a police report. If not, real estate records will have better answers.
Oh wow Jay that was a spectacular video!! I agree with you~that has been an orphanage or halfway house.I really enjoyed it. So very very cool Jay!!!" Thrilling! !! Thank (_-😂😥💌
I wonder if there was some type of flood or natural disaster that occurred nearby to make the floors so bad in such a short time considering the roof was metal water had to have gotten in some other way. Great video! I love watching these types of videos it always makes me wonder why the owners left?
I was thinking flood too, I noticed on at least one wall it looked like a water mark about a quarter of the way up, but I don't know, it seems that something major happened for it to decay so fast. JP has video a lot older homes that were in a lot better shape than this one, :)
Annette Moreau it looks like most of the plumbing has been scavenged from the house for copper. If it’s well or artesian water, the water would continue to flow when the pipes were cut. 13 years of abandonment do not bring that kind of rot. With a metal roof in place it should have dated dry inside so I’m betting this is water intrusion due to cut plumbing. Even in in some of the bathrooms, there were no faucet sets, toilets ripped from the walls-
If i had my guess it looks like a rehab type facility or something along those lines. Rooms with individual bathrooms and PA systems in each room. Large boiler room. Seems to make most sense to me
Except that I have worked in every type of residential facility as a nurse: forensic, drug, alcohol and eating disorders rehab, psychiatric adult, geriatric and teenage, celebrity mental hospital, medical school for developmentally disabled people, spinal injury rehab, Alzheimer's care, and for each one there are glaring no-no's you would never see in them. You don't have spiral stairs or windows to the ground 2 floors below in a place for old people, little kids, blind people, or mentally ill people....etc. I don't know what was going on there but it would be a large strange family or group of families with odd or creepy hobbies. The one thing that MIGHT fit is a creepy crazy religious compound or "end of the world cult...and why did they leave? If they lost the property to a group break-up or foreclosure, just maybe...but religious cults also often have Overlord-like leaders and lots of sick things going on with kids, too. And many things don't match them, either.
You can't help but wonder if the place was used for holding children. SRA is real and there are thousands of children being ritually sacrificed. Why would there be so many beds and I saw more than one baby bed frame. Scary place. I have heard so many stories from SRA victims who have survived. God bless and always be careful cause you really don't know what you might find.
@@jasoncarskadon6809 All I know is that if it were a motel then there's no way an insurance company would've let them be opened for business without a balcony upstairs, or that door couldn't be there. Too dangerous, especially if there's kids around. It definitely wouldn't make it through even one inspection. It would've needed a way out from upstairs if there was a fire, or some other kind of emergency. It'd be interesting to find out what the area is zoned for.
Grow room in a closet, walls ripped out as if there was an extensive search done. What do you bet the guy was growing pot, he got raided and went to prison? Nobody would abandon a house like that without putting it on the market and selling it, unless he was detained.
When this home was first built it would have been Lovely, But not my kind of home, too many hallways. We call the heating in the floor ducted heating. All those mattress's hmmm maybe a mattress hoarder, or just a house used for EVIL towards children or sex slaves. if the mattress was wet, bloodied they just kept them 😳 I don't know creepy. On this Our Home Earth in my opinion 40% of humans are Good 60% of Human's are just plain Evil. Give me Animal's over Human's any day. Nature will take this house in no time with the damage, snakes, spiders, rats and creepy Human's. Thank you from Australia
Hope you enjoyed this abandoned adventure. What do you think took place here? Leave your thoughts.
Looks like a place from California not here, very cool place, bet it was alot of money
Never was owned by any person, but was financed by a investments corporation and assigned for use for the return of investment from MGM studios.This structure was used ofr numerous movies. One I watched recently was made I believe in 1958 (and shockingly this is a 1950s structure along with its features. The last movie that showed parts taken in this structure starred Walter Mathau portraying the role of a an black mailing a man that was cheating on his wife. Those mattresses are where filming camera staff as well as some of the actors could freshen up,being just 30 minutes of a one and a half hour movie can consist of 30 days. MGM investors didnt care about the 250K spent on that when their return for just one movie brought them an entire 50 million dollars based on some 30% earning for their share. The toys scattered about? Simply people living there illegally No paint on the exterior? Because MGM didnt want to attract attention and during the movies that were made the stars and filming took place in homes in other areas that were leased. Now you know the stor. Many of these are located under ground in whats called area 51 and the UFO is a hoax only to keep people out and to make them believe its military based property. The dick van dyke show is one of may that were filmed in area 51 and above ground but covered by military tin buidings. Area 51 is simply hollywood filming area and for comercials houses under ground and many other places

Same and I'm barely in the beginning
Was thinking same thing. Something just isn’t quite right
I can envision people living there. I bet it was beautiful in it’s day. I think they probably bought new mattresses and stored the old one’s downstairs. There was a lot of bedrooms.
Metal doors!? That's not normal!!
cindy maulden, this house looks a bit too familiar like I know it and lived in it. I don’t know where this is or what house it is. I have never stepped foot in that house before but it feels so idk like home.

It's sad to think that there are thousands of homeless people in the U.S. but still, there are huge abandoned houses just sitting around and left to rot.
Look up adverse possession on google. It's possible that you or someone else might be able to legally acquire one of these long abandoned houses.
I agree so much
Alot of homeless choose that lifestyle unfortunately alot is through addiction this house would need too much repairs for a regular family I agree and it's such a waste I see it in my country people on housing list in Ireland and many perfect houses boarded up makes no sense...

Possibly a childrens home or an institution for children with special needs.When I was younger,these places still existed 😞
They still do...They are now called small residential group homes with no more than 4 living in one home
@@theirmom4723 yes I know there are smaller group homes now,thankfully and not the big institutions that were around when I was younger😊
This house is huge inside I was not expecting it to be like that. Do you ever check the history behind the homes? Bad things went on in the house I have a strong feeling about that.
He should try to find out previous owner, cuz I'm thinking of somebody like J Coward Epstein
I seen this video few yrs a go but I would like for j.p to return there that is all possible to do or like what you said find some kind of information on this place if all possible..

The “Self Esteem” butterfly sticker comes from the clothing line of the same name. It was available in J. C. Penney department stores in the 1990’s. The butterfly logo glitter stickers were part of the label on each item. #funfacts
From the front windows and mold, I’d say this house has suffered severe storm damage- explaining the poor condition.
The Spanish-style tile visible on the floor from the entrance back toward the kitchen was the height of “in” style in the late 90’s along with the stainless door handles. The laminate built-ins with stainless hardware are also typical of late 1990’s higher end decore; and the rich blue master bath tile would also date from about 1995.
The linen closet with the heat lamp was super odd. I have never seen that, and I’ve seen a lot. Unless it’s meant to warm snow jackets before going out or blankets for guests, I cannot understand it.
Frankly, the style of the house has a very “Miami Vice” look. You’re in upstate NY, but that home was white everywhere, Spanish floor tile, and Mediterranean tile in the Master Bath - typical of Miami design in the mid to late 90’s.
Thanks for the fucking history lesson lmao (but actually thanks I wouldn't have noticed that unless you pointed it out)😂
Yes you are right I think...I was thinking maybe retro with the large windows and lamp lights everywhere...but maybe a upgrade in the 90s
Heat lamp=grow up lololol
kitchen 50's w/metal cabinets i love & p. sink.
@SagePeachy I'd love to know what the town building inspector has to say about who lived there, when it was built, why it is disintegrating back into the earth? Built on wetlands? Owned by drug dealers? Mysterious. Thank you for the comments, I was thinking late 60's early 70's due to the intercom system but the relatively new garage door makes sense 1990's.
Your gut intuition is right.....that house was used for “no good.”
Yup, "no good" that explains it all. Har har hae

It looks like a rehab facility or some other residential center.
@@christinapursley5574 a rehab facility wouldn’t have liquor logos posted on the wall; a wine cellar and be practically hidden from all visible
Line of sight
Am guessing who ever left the place like a bank that tuck it due to nonpayment or security that is paid to keep people from entering as not sure if it same in america but in the UK if someone goes in and hurts or kills themselves it is down to the person or company that owns the place as they should of secured the place.
This house was probably gorgeous in its day!
Yeah i agree it probably was beautiful inside
I was thinking the same
Everytime I look at videos of old abandoned home, i always try to picture what they looked like when they were new and the original families were in them.
I'd agree except that bathroom wall paper
It was probably was until now
It's hard to speculate on the history of this house. Everyone seems to have noticed some of the obvious - 'oddities' - such as the many mattresses, and the toys (even their relative condition compared to the rest of the house); the commercial feel of some of the fixtures and furnishings such as switches. Two large 'master's bedrooms'. Padlocks and locks on various doors, seeming to indicate that rooms were locked from the outside. That this is remote and the money obviously invested in it sort of indicate that this being a typical shelter, orphanage, etc is unlikely. But here's what I noticed, and thought as I watched. There was a very institutional feel - like private institution. Toward the beginning of the video, before he got to the kitchen, he panned across two adjoining rooms, and there was a 'window' between them. This reminded me of an institution I worked in which meds were kept in a 'room' about the size of a large closet, and the person administering the meds would hand them out the 'window' to the patients. The one room had shelves in it. The other was a large open room - like a 'rec room'. The bedrooms with single mattresses - seemed dorm like. Each had their own bathrooms. I would not rule out trafficking. But honestly this is more like a privately funded institution. I've worked in them, and in our area we have one that is ran for rich families that want to stash away mentally ill family members (that still happens :( ). Just some thoughts.
The number of mattresses and the remote location, I'm thinking religious cult. With a wealthy leader or benefactor.
You mean if someone is wealthy they can illegally put their mentally ill family away ? In this day in time? Welp I guess If you say you have seen it then it must be true . Just hard to imagine
@@soph5669 actually nothing is hard to believe anymore
@@soph5669 yes it is true. It isnt illegal if the person is deemed unstable. And for rich families it would be a taint on their name and lifestyle to have a mentally ill person. Think about the Rosemary Kennedy situation.
The problem with the institution theory ... do they usually have a wine and liquor storage?
I am amazed at this house, never expected so much room in what looks like a small house on the outside.
I thought you were exploring some kind of shed like house and it turned out the size of a minor city. 😯 And with some creepy energies right through the screen...
Surprisingly large
It almost seems like when the last residents left, they intended to come back but never did. Too bad it’s so damaged. Nice find JP!
I wonder if plumbing problems led to so much rot and the collapsed floor? Perhaps it was abandoned by the original owners much further back than 2006 and human traffickers used it as a hideout? Ot must have been a beautiful house when it was new. I love all the storage places and windows.
I honestly felt weird vibes when you first walked in. The set-up was the first thing that I thought was strange. The mattresses are definitely weird, I find them to be weirder than the amount of toys. Who knows what that place could've been used for, especially since it's in the middle of the woods. I'm really hoping nothing sinister happened there.
Please update us after checking with authorities on last owner’s/Occupants.
Did that look like blood on the baby mattress in the crib or was it just rot?
All the mirrors, got me! And The big medicine cabinets. Heaters to warm small spaces and the intercom‘s!
They had a lot of large houses up there like this built between the 60s to 80s. Either churches, clubs or companies owned them. The ones that lasted past the 80s would be sold to private owners and they rented them out to groups for skiing, camping, or family reunions, etc.
Makes me wonder whether any of these houses are crimes scenes
Given how much money this place would of cost I am intrigued as to what the ACTUAL history of it is.
Yeah me too☺
I'm thinking maybe a home for unwed mothers incorrigible Wayward teens, kids with mental disabilities their parents don't want to deal with send them to a home out of sight out of mind
@Loren Johnson they wouldn’t put troubled teens or wayward young women in a place with such huge nice windows and amenities. I think it was a normal wealthy family’s vacation home and later squatters did who knows what in there once abandoned. BUT the much newer looking toys and number of mattresses and cots (the wealthy peoples furniture is long gone and they wouldn’t put their weekend guests on cots most likely), are why everyone is thinking the worst. Hopefully it was just squatters with kids.
*_+JPVideos_*
So, this is just a theory, as everyone has had one, and I don't wish to dismiss anyone's "creep feels" about the place, but here it is:
It _could_ have been some kind of vacation rental retreat, Bed & Breakfast sort of set-up, and/or meant for multiple people groups, family reunion style guests, or friend groups, etc., who wanted to spend a week or more away from civilization and hustle and bustle, while not really giving up the comforts of a modern and nice place to stay. Peaceful, or at the least, mostly private and secluded.
What could have been the ultimate downfall was that black mold began inside the walls, eventually working its way outward. Literally eating away the house, and contaminating everything inside of it. People may have actually gotten sick, and it could have caused inspections and investigations. I will also say that it has to be the strangest architectural floor plan design I have ever seen. Really odd. Poorly built?
It appeared to me that many of the ceilings, walls, floors, appliances and fixtures were intentionally torn out and perhaps documented for insurance and/or lawsuit inspections. It seemed methodical in certain areas where the black mold was most likely to be found in walls, floors, ceilings, etc. It just seems too strange that some places were torn out that way. For what purpose?
All of that mold is also a very good reason for you adventurous explorers to wear protective gear (gloves, suits, breathing protection). Just looking out for you! ;) Most of the things left behind and abandoned, as well as more things that I wonder what they ultimately did with, such as bedding, sheets, pillows, curtains, etc. None could ever be "cleaned up" and reused anywhere else, just like all the mattresses, etc.-- _and_ those things are very expensive to be disposed of, just call your local landfill to see.
Naturally, many people may say that all of the damage, decay and mold came _after_ the abandonment of the dwelling, and of course that is absolutely possible. But it is also possible that it began when occupied, ultimately caused the abandonment of the business venture, or whatever it was called. Black mold slowly sickens or kills people in nice homes in the middle of towns or in the city. It is not so far of a reach to expect it could happen in such an isolated area, especially if conditions are always humid.
So, that is just a more "sanitized" and different type of _disgusting_ theory that looks in a different direction from a more sinister and nefarious explanation. It is not out of the realm of possibility that it was used for one or more of the horrific hypotheses posted. I just thought I'd share a different point of view, even if it does not carry any of the creepy feelings with it. More just "icky" in another way.
Thanks for sharing your adventure and discovery. What an adventurous job (or hobby?)! Be safe out there! Thanks for letting me share one possibility of a different sort. ~Peace!
I agree with you. This place is like a business with commercial fixtures and lighting. To be honest, it looks like one of those fancy drug treatment centers you would find in California. Too many communal areas. I bet it looked nice when it was built. Maybe it was a home for pregnant teens.
Thank u. My husband and I deal with eviction and repair. I was saying that u nvr know why a house had to be abandoned. And mattresses are often the first thing people leave.
Maybe certain walls were ripped out because money was stashed in those walls. Not uncommon for illegal activity.
The numbers written on the bathrooms one had 1 - 3, another said 8 - 10, makes me think it was assigned bathrooms to rooms. Treatment center (my home town has one that is a historic home that is mom's with kids) or group home that was converted from a private home, which is why I think it has some of the really nice fixtures like the cigar humidor and expensive bathroom with a bidet.
I agree, and to add, the numbers you see written on the walls was probably written by insurance adjusters so they can identify which walls were in which rooms. It certainly looks like black mold devoured this building. Could have been part of the "sick house syndrome". Which was soon to become a great epidemic in American building. I estimate this house was built in the 60's, judging from the central vac, the central stereo system and the prairie style windows.
I found this place very disturbing..
The first thing that comes to my mind is a cult.
Crazy thing is toys not that old looking compared to the actual home meaning that children have been kept here in this horrible place, really would like to find out more,hopefully not still being used as a pick up location for abducted children, police should investigate
Beverly Marta police are most likely involved ...
Ive read a couple news stories about cops and child porn recently...a brig. general was caught with it. Nasty....
Yeah that Elmo toy looks really new
Toys also typically have dates on them
I thought the same toys look really new
Strange architecture. Parts of the house are small and narrow, while other parts are large and spacious very strange floor plan.
Architect #1 fudged, up, so, they ate him. "The Brady Lunch!"
I noticed that also. All that glass in some rooms and others were normal. I really wonder about the house and whose it belonged to.
Seems like maybe they renovated to accommodate more people, that would be my guess as to why the front is so cramped and doesn’t match the rich feel of the rest of the home.
Often found in older homes with updates and usually used by criminals
My ex husband thugs who. Poisoned me and my 29nday 9ld son
This house with all the windows and being able to see the trees Outside and nature would have been beautiful... hopefully nothing creepy or child abuse happened there...

If it is/was a "Bible Camp", then, there was plenty of Child Abuse, of Nighmarish proportions. It is, still, legal, to Abuse Children, Mentally, apparently, so, why the hell, not. "Morally superior" christians and their Indoctrination process. Bless their evil hearts.

Creepy. Looks like a child porn house a lot of bad things had to of happen there...... Very disturbing. I'd report this location to the FBI. This might be a place to investigate for human trafficking for possible cases that we're solved. It was either a Legit orphanage or a abusive place for children. The city must have some kind of records of this home.
The FBI is the pedophiles sadly. They know. They would just cover it up
Or maybe a bed and breakfast that went out of business. Hence every bedroom having a bathroom kinda like a hotel. SMH. Or you're right, maybe a child porn house. That sounds much more plausible.
The mattresses may have been added after the house was abandoned- maybe left cause of mold & shoddy work then turned into a party house. Baby may have outgrown bed-- don't think the worse of folks till you know
I agree
That would be a great way to bring unwanted attention to yourelf
There was something going on there that would probably curl your toes ...I think you should call attention to this to the sheriff of this county , district , whatever ...the amount of mold there could give you a permanent lung problem ..get an inexpensive respirator for places like this ...just the seclusion , with all the signs of children raises my hackles ...I think it's very important for authorities to investigate this .
sue eason I agree that it appears that place was used for trafficking. There are children toys and LOTS of beds and TONS of rooms in the woods! It SCREAMS children! They OBVIOUSLY left quickly! Check for fingerprints.
agreed. I cant think of any other reason as to why so many twin beds would be in such a secluded and hidden home and how majority of the belongings found were all children's items.
They've found something like this south of us/ phoenix and one in new mexico. Human trafficking babies and children.
Maybe because twin beds cost like $60 and queen and kings are 3x to 10x that amount, they left the twin mattresses and box springs but took the larger mattresses- except the two in the most mold over grown rooms?
The guy set the scene as being creepy and pointed out the mattresses so now everybody has their panties in a twist. My mom owns a 55,000 sq ft home with 5 rooms that could be bedrooms but only 3 are used as bedrooms as 2 are offices and she has accumulated so many mattresses from adult children moving and her own downsizing and upsizing of homes she probably has like 10 queen size mattresses. That doesn't mean that if she died and someone found her home abandoned with all the mattresses left inside that she was human trafficking...
@@megancasey5122 Ya, but she didn't live right in the middle of a forest and, also...how do you know for sure? I had a house that big once and when I moved I took "everything" with me. Who doesn't? That's pretty much what makes this house so damn creepy.
*This place kind of reminds me of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew. Or maybe people like them.*
True detective vibes all the way if you know what I mean
It's a child trafficking home.
Can you get the address and let your audience do research on who owned that place?
I thought the exact same thing
Michelle Thorson Maybe the people that did the vid. was in on it. How did they find it?
Hank Bridges In the video they said they found it on google maps, the same way most explorers find places to explore. Also in on what? No facts just conjecture.
I’ll admit it’s got some secrets...
Child traffickers don't provide toys. They hold the children for less than 24 hours. They have buyers before they kidnap the children. They couldn't care less about them being happy, comfortable, clean or any other human decency. They are treated worse than shit on the bottom of your boot.
Maybe orphanage,nursing homes or clinic before.
Title: Will give you nightmares
Me who's watching this at 1am in a dark room: *ah sweet*
No I got my Christmas tree as a night lite oh sorry that was kinda embarrassing for😶😶
Me*
Me at 4am .😳
How sad to see such a beautiful home falling apart like that.
jackybaby1999 🙂👍
That is what i thought too but now i read the comments it worries me what all happened in this building. With that idea on my mind i wouldn't wanna live in it😖
Come in 2 an abandoned house. There is a guy already in there?
They work together doing these videos.
@Gerdien Plomp I imagine it was a normal vacation house for a wealthy family who vacated before all of those mattresses and cots and toys were brought in. No one would have such a nice expensive home and put their guests on those type of cots. An abandoned house of this size and this secluded could easily be chosen from a second nefarious group... if our creeped out suspicions are close to true...
Looks like a human trafficking house. Many rooms they had to leave in a hurry. This is just crazy!
My First thought too.
yes that what came into my mind too
🧐
Barbara Zurek I know just sends chills knowing this could possibly be a child trafficking house. All those mattresses and the separation of the rooms. My stomach just cringed when he said someone put a lot of money into this place. 😢
Most of the toys were newer as well. Most had not been there to deteriorate nearly as long as most items throughout the house.
Millions of homeless people around the world and resources like this house just going to waste
Humanity was a mistake This house would cost way to much money 💰 to maintain for ‘homeless’ even before the decaying .
Homeless people should only be helped till they get on their feet - never a life time of care .
lol
Yeah it should be taken over by Homeless. Hey it's Shelter. Does not have to be perfect. Most sleep on the st. I would think in a room would be safer. BUT, as soon as they settled in Here would come an owner & put claim & want the state to pay saying they did the damage. 🙃
It would absolutely not be a good environment to live in. The mold will eventually make you sick
@@decahertz7779 I get that it could make you sick, but there are many things on the st's or areas that they are in that could make them sick & some are being abused, raped our news has shown Young men beating up on old Homeless. So Yep I think it's better. Also we don't have to agree. We can have a nice discussion. Have a Great wkend.
You guys should wear masks for mold and dust when going to abandon places,kool videos btw👍🏼
yeah but I would wear something like a gas mask
I'm really perplexed about this place,. With everything going on these days you have to wonder if this place was used for human trafficking.
I thought the same thing.
Something out of the normal took place here
I was thinking along those same lines. With most of the mattresses in the basement and that crib.
I was thinking on those lines also. This place had money put into it when it was built and a normal person just doesnt let it go like that. Somebody didnt care. That's the kind of place someone should want to get the history and investigate. The info is out there.
Yeah, same here. I was thinking if not human trafficking then, child pornography. But definitely creepy. I really hope someone finds out the truth. It looks like they sure left in a hurry.
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, that you know what a Polly Pocket is!!!! :)
Thats what having a daughter taught me lol
He is a big guy and knowing what Polly Pocket is kinda funny to hear but as he explained he has a daughter. It sounds like he is a very hands-on Dad .
Deena K - my daughter had a few also 🙂
That is exactly what I thought!!!! I had to smile when he said it, lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one who made that observation.
it's a girls nick name here in tx. and her bands name.
Jp to me this house looks more like safe house for mother's and kids I think you didn't notice the numbers on the wall the first floor have 1-01 true 1-15 and then when you got to the base it was B-01 true B-05 so each room had a number on the wall if you check the video you will see what am taking about I like your videos
What about the spotlights/light rigs in the basement?
I find it weird that so many people jump to conclusions that this was linked to pedophile rings, child pornography or human trafficking, just because there were toys and mattresses around. Almost every abandoned house has mattresses in weird places, because homeless people move in. If this was abandoned in 2006, I figure many people must've moved in and out of this house in 14 years. It's not hard to imagine that one child in a house this big would've left his toys everywhere. There are so many possibilities...
No, homeless ppl dont carry a huge mattress that far into the forest thst many times. Those had to be brought in by an organized money making outfit...like drug dealers n porn filmers.
I know. It could be safe house for moms and kids, the crib could just be stored in the basement. Could be a polygamist family, cult, orphanage, pregnant teens? So many things that it's odd to just jump to child porn. Not saying bad things didn't happen there and leave creepy vibes.
Agree. Could have been a group home or had lots of fosters etc. people just want to creep themselves out. My first thought was a large foster group home, possibly for kids with special needs to be taught basic tasks like cooking, cleaning and being able to function semi independently. There are good people who run homes like that so that the children are more adoptable or can live with roommates and hold remedial jobs when they age out of foster care
I really don't wanna think the worse but there padlocks on the doors that lock on the Outside it's Secluded and there Toys and Mattresses but no Pictures of Families like most abandoned houses so this is probably a Mental Hospital but why is there Alcohol and Wine it's so huge I don't know and it's close to New York City this place is suspect but I could be wrong
@@HelloNewMoon with sauna and a wine cava? You guys are too naive!
Almost wonder if it isn’t a home lived in by a polygamy family..... big house.... lots of beds.... 2 master bedrooms....couple living rooms...... big outdoor space..... off the beaten path🤔
Great suggestion! Very possibly!
Brilliant thought and not near as creepy as some of the other suggestions, I for one hope you're right!
Naive. Clearly sex trafficking house.
I wondered that as well
That house was built for somebody with money. You entered by what was obviously the servant's entrance. The first room with the intercom panel was probably the housekeeper's bedroom, next to it, her bathroom and private kitchen like how Alice's bedroom was just off the kitchen in the Brady Bunch house. The built-in sound system, sauna and wine cellar all scream, "money".The furniture and mattresses left behind don't look expensive, but they would have taken their good stuff with them. As for all the beds- that house is very secluded, maybe they would give parties or family celebrations like Christmas and have their guests stay over rather than sending them far away to a hotel. Funny how they never painted the walls and there is no sign of paintings or wall hangings anywhere. Perhaps it was a vacation home, or the family bought a property that was too big for their budget? The child's Playboy bunny hat is creepy, but I don't get the impression that anything disgusting happened there. Some people just have twisted imaginations and like to project darkness where there isn't any. What a waste of an interesting house, I could have done SO MUCH with that.
Upon seeing this video my heart is in great pain..
Especially the crib that had a board on top of it. Poor little angels that had suffered in this house
This house looks like for human trafficking..
@Tara Rae How do you know that?
My feelings tell Me, And I hate saying this...that this used in a Pedophile Ring of some sort....
I think so too.. a pedophile ring that been busted. Very secluded place.
Beds, beds, beds
@Tara Rae Anything is Possible, never claimed I had the Definite Answer, just going by my gut feeling that this Place was had used for more Ominous of reasons, and I hope I actually am Wrong..
That or a holding place for human trafficking victims.
At 15:55 there is a playboy bunny hat in the room full of kids toys
Did have a haunting feel about it. Crib made me sad. Deck & big windows were great. Please be careful around mold. Look forward to all your finds!
From outside to inside.. how the hell did the house get so big??
I'm surprised there's only one kitchen. A lot of the rooms are numbered. It looks like maybe a safe house for women and children.
Ahhh! Now that you mention it Lauraul, that seems like the most plausible idea! I had thought possibly a group home, but what you suggest makes a bit more sense!
@@puca7908 I'm thinking maybe a teen mom group home.
@@lisamartin3734 - Lisa, did you notice the old spa room? That was a really lux place! Would young mom's be in such a ritzy place I wonder? I too wondered about either a women/childs home or some kind of children's home because of all the rooms and the location. But, the more JP walked through it seems there were some pretty nice amenities there. Thanks for your comment. If you re-watch the vid, I'd enjoy hearing any further observations you have. It was definitely a very cool explore! I am really surprised it could fall into such a state if it's only been empty since 2006(?). Someone did say they thought the place was falling into a sink hole.
YES....! This was indeed a "safe house" for battered women and their children to escape abusive ex-husbands/boyfriends. Its secluded location and relatively close proximity to Canada is also another major clue. My best wishes and prayers for everyone who passed through here; I hope they're finally free of their tormentors.
Sex trafficking
It’s a shame that house was left to rot, I can imagine how beautiful it was surrounded by all those trees and the huge windows!!
Definitely got some “keeping people in their basement” vibes
Yes, definitely very remote and private
Maybe a corporate or church retreat . maybe a shelter for women and children. The possibilities are endless.
Great find JP glad you had company along.
Edith Davis 🙂👍
The amount of decay is insane! That looks like it was a fairly modern house. I bet it looked amazing when it was brand new.
Ditto
You can tell from the intercom system and built in stereo systems it was built 60s or 70s
Horrible conditions. You guys take some chances, but those of us who enjoy seeing abandoned homes appreciate your effort to go explore these places. This was once one hell of a house! Must have been beautiful at one time. Thanks for sharing with us.
I know why it was abandoned. The owners were sick of getting lost in there!
Hahahs true
I would love to know the history on that place! Great video!
The creepy part is the Playboy Bunny hat in the room with most of the children's items. WTF?
You know that was my first thought when he walked in there an the hat was sitting there around a bunch of toys.there was much more going on in that house than trafficking I would say.
@@frankieadams1714 I thought the hat looked new. It was so clean.
I had one of those playboy hats/visors when I was like 13....
....and any, other, Hat, is a "Pimp" Hat, i reckon. When you are a Kid, it is just a Damn Hat. Good Grief.
I've had playboy bunny makeup and trainers and all sorts since I was 13, playboy doesn't automatically mean foul play
That place was very strange. Too many hallways with doors. The rooms had no character to them. Like white boxes all stuck together. All the mattresses and the toys was weird too. Who knows what went on there in a "HOUSE" in the woods. It could have been a place where they had kidnapped kids used in human trafficking, or a place where women and kids lived who were running away from the men in their lives, like a woman's shelter. It didn't really seem like a family lived there. It was some kind of an institution of some sort, good or bad.
My thoughts as well about human trafficking.
@@juliaannegrider5734 Yes.
@Giaya Rhea Evil people don't usually leave evidence of who they are. It was a creepy building hidden away in the woods. Don't know who owned it.
@Giaya Rhea Yes they hoped to keep their presence a secret. They can't hide everything though. Always signs can be found.
I think that some shady evil happened there. Y? Too many mattresses and child toys.
Thank you for the find. God bless!!
Thanks for watching
Between the barred window house across the street and this house, they could have been used for child trafficking..???
@@dianehighley-kleb4170 that is really what it looks like to me too.
The new owners were with u on the tour the whole time Man lol hmmmm so yeah. Keep Vigilante when doing this. Esp out there
This house was so amazing! I really want the blueprints! I would love to know the story behind who built it and why it was abandoned.
I think you're right. I feel like this house was used for no good. Which is super sad because it looks like it would have been an absolutely stunning house! All that amazing natural lighting, the huge floor to ceiling windows, the space!!! I hope the person in the comments that said it could have been a private institution is right because otherwise..it looks like a beautiful home was used for horrible things!
Thanks for checking it out
My impression is it was a place for sex slavery for wealthy people.
There were a lot of mattresses
that's what I was thinking are maybe other bad things..
That is what it looks like A Crawford Boy. That would explain the mattesses and hidden location, as well as being abandoned.
This house is creepy and one of the ugliest ones I’ve seen, it gives me the creeps. I wouldn’t have liked it brand new it’s really weird. thank you for the video you did a great job. Be safe 🤯
That's a huge, strangely laid out house. I would spend all of my time on the deck. Reminded me of a treehouse hideaway.
Very secluded so anything could of taken place here
It's so massive right!!! I lost count of how many rooms their were but it also looked very high tech and modern for that era so it must have been built by some wealthy people!
Elle Nightingale era? It’s only been empty a decade lol
Obviously 😒 but for the time that it would have been built (probably 20+ years ago!) The tech which is built into the home is actually quite good quality and wouldn't have been affordable or accessible to other people! It's been empty 13 years but looks like it was built many years before that due to the appliances. The inbuilt speakers and lights would have been VERY modern and expensive for back then is what I mean 🤦
Way TOO MANY DOORS 4 my liking, just saying
This is kind of the place where my sister and her friend was kept for 8 months the abuse they went through was horrendous and surprised both survived
Omg 😔
Wow. So sorry for them. How did they escape? If you don't mind sharing...
@@cg-ny9078 she found he failed to lock the door she was in she bolted to the front door trying to be quiet so she would not wake him up she made it screamed till someone came out of their home to see what the fuss is all about

@@cg-ny9078 we cannot see each other my state is on lockdown she cant travel here we did Facetime
Possibly a Polygamist home. Would love to know the square footage.
Incredible find!! I have a different outlook than most. I didn’t find it creepy at all, but of course I wasn’t there. I think it was once a single family home with a lot of children. It actually reminds me of Edward Cullen’s family’s home in the “Twilight” Movies! Then I think they either took in foster children which would explain having all the extra mattresses, folding bed frames and baby beds/cribs to accommodate a lot of kids, plus all the toys/toy closet, or maybe a Safe House for battered women with children. They could put however many beds needed in a room so mom and kids could stay together. Maybe the mold issue is what forced the abandonment. Whatever the situation was this was an excellent explore!! Thanks and sorry I’m still so far behind in watching. My health is still an issue so I watch when I can. Take Care and Stay Safe out there!! 😁👋🏻
*That blue tile was gorgeous!
it reminded me of the Cullen's home too!!
funny,i also thought it looked like tue Cullen house as well!!,
It’s cool to see I’m not the only one! 🧛🏼♂️
I thought so as well!
Amazes me how decrepit a house can get in just 13 years! Wow.
Seriously. This one was bad
As a contractor I was thinking the same thing, that is definitely more than 13 yrs of damage. Makes you wonder if it was abandoned long before that and somebody was squatting there and that's their calendar.
I know I was thinking the same thing..Poor workmanship or it was never maintained through out the years.
JPVideos The builders didn't build it right for me. I had 30 kids there. They're buried in the back. So, go find them! 😂
Hank Bridges you’re sick
This is such a shame. At one point this was a beautiful home and piece of property.
It looks like the house was set up to be a group home, half way house or a refuge house.
DustyRose that's what I think it was a group home of some kind. When I was a kid these were common it would explain all the kids toys and mattreses as counselors would live in these facilities the state would pay them to house children and run these places.
A group home? Really?! With those klegal lights used for filming in one of those rooms. He didn't comment on them. And a wine cellar and liquor storage room. The liquor stickers on the door were the kinds of liquor they had in house. In a group home? I think there are videos floating around today filmed in this location. And the individual soaps like you'd find in a hotel. This place spoke of lots of sick sh__. And plenty of abused kids connected to this hideaway. Sad, sad, sad.
@@claudettej.7930 I am naive on stuff like that I guess. I was just responding with my first thoughts of what I thought of this place because he did ask in the video. lol
Imagine if the last person to have lived here happened to see this video
That's what I thought lol
I actually saw a video a few months ago where that happened.
Heidi S , same here 🙂
It would be so amazing if the previous owners saw this and responded.... like you idiots. We were trying to have an amazing bed and breakfast when our accountant stole everything. Or yep we are in jail for human trafficking as that's the reason we had this house. Either way, it would be awesome.
@@megancasey5122 Pfffft. If the owners WERE responsible for having this house be a part of child sex trafficking, I don't think they'd put themselves on blast on UA-cam.
This house seems like an old facility to house several people, like a traffic house or safe house for moms and kids?????
@Jenny Rose No. That doesn't make sense. Safe houses for moms and kids dont have cigar rooms and suanas.
Safehouse for mom and kids doesn't need a wine cellar.
What a shame that these BEAUTIFUL homes are just left. Why don't people by these places and bring them back to their GLORY. Just a waste.
Or at least cycle glass hardware and other salvageable items
Looks like a trafficking house. Creepy alright.
I love how literally every explorer tries the switches knowing the light or whatever it's from does not work 😂
Well but this place gives me a strange vibe. 20+ mattresses? House placed in the middle of a forest? Kidnapping???
Yes they had a sauna and other nice stuff but that does not mean they couldn't keep children/people there...uuuugh
The room u thought was a wine cellar was a humidor for cigars
THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL LARGE SUN☀️FILLED HOME AT ONE TIME!!!!!🌸🌺🏚️🏘️🏠
I know there's a million and one reasons why houses end up this way but I will never understand how something this awesome and secluded ends up going this route ? Wish we knew back stories.
This place must've been huge. Definately makes a person wonder why it was so secluded. With all of the sex trafficing nowadays,and all of those matresses,it definitly does make for a scary place! Awesome video!
That’s what I was going to say, hidden that’s all you have to say!
That's where my thoughts first went as well. I wouldn't be surprised!
OMG, I HAD THE EXACT SAME THOUGHTS
Tiles for Mosaic art. The Windows maybe copper? Other then that it should be taken down unless it can't be for some reason. Scrap too from the appliances. It would be interesting to know who the original owners were. Maybe they defaulted on the house payment and walked away. But it looks like someone has Vanished out of sight. And it's probably been used by many ppl over the years all for various reasons.
Anyone else find the mold growing around just the pillow strange?
That was nuts
The pillow would retain moisture thats why.
Yeah that's true good point. With it being such a creepy place my mind just automatically went to something more I dont know... sinister I guess?
Rhiannon DeLawder I find YOUR comment strange. I built that house and it wasn't built right. But, those nosy guys found it. I had 30 kids there. We sold them. So, THERE!
Hank Bridges what??
Omg what ever happened to that home it looked like it was once a really great looking sorta modern home
Ultra modern, but super secluded.
This was a safehouse used for the victims of domestic violence the Safe House Center provides support for those impacted by domestic violence or sexual assault. Safe House provides free and confidential services for any person victimized that lives or works in Washtenaw County. Our services include emergency shelter for those in danger of being hurt or killed, crisis support, legal advocacy, support groups, and especially, hope. All locations are held in strict secrecy for safety.
Probably a stupid question, but are there any pictures of it from it glory days?
No it wasn't
it looks like at one time back in the day that house was a really nice house but due to the size of it and all the rooms and the mattresses it looks like a cult owned or something like the Branch davidian you know like David koresh type of stuff
I was thinking along those lines too. Creepy
Or bohemian groove..cooking spirit..the cult is not always outside.
Exactly along my lines of thought.
Good assumption. I didn't put the two together. I agree
Looks like a high-end summer camp, to me. Of course, the Catskills were/are a summer destination for the wealthy from NYC, etc. The furnace(s), hot water heaters, etc. all seem designed for something other than a single family home, IMO.
that's what i thought as well.
Maybe that was a secret location for sex trafficking. I live in Pennsylvania and my friends and I like to explore abandoned houses also, and red flags always go up for us also when we see houses full of mattresses.
Exactly my thoughts to.
I think most think this place has a sinister vibe because it's so badly decayed. That really adds the "spook" factor. Outstanding explore though, couldn't be better. This is one of my all time favorites. I can only dream of a re visit lol
The only scary part for me is getting lost! What a huge and confusing house.
Something sinister was definitely going on here. I agree though, the blue tile is beautiful.
That place is absolutely HUGE!! It's like a maze. Excellent video, guys!! Keep up the awesome explorations....
Thanks madison
That master bedroom looks like that scene where the car went out the window on Ferris Buellers Day Off 😂
Yep lol
@@JPVideos81 I Love your video!!
Lmao!
A Jones I thought that immediately
If I had to guess, it looks like a place people would’ve brought sex trafficking victims.
That's what I was thinking. That place was private for a reason. Way too many different little private spaces and rooms that do seem to fit into a normal functioning home. Excellent video. Very interesting.
Yep. And who needs a basement like that? I didn't like the vibes of the place either, and felt sick to my stomach when I saw the crib. Truly hope its not as it feels. I just got home from a 15 hour day, was eating ice cream and exploring an abandoned house, thanks to y'all. : ) Keep up the good work!
Yes thats also what i am thinking it involves kids or young boys and girls oh my
And the house is really away from the city i will never stay with that kind of place even though it is huge and beautiful not unless im hiding something or doing something illegal
I wonder why so many of the doors have dead bolt locks on them, especially for a residential home. Looks like they also had a security intercom system too. Wonder what the city records show. Thanks for the video.
Lisa Lisa there's no bars on the windows though. If it was a place of trafficking oh, you think there would be bars.
I was wondering about the bolts on the doors too. All the tiny compartmentalized rooms give me pause. Something very strange about this place.
Christine Cantin Perhaps storage rooms.
Marlys Exactly! The windows allow for easy escape. The wooden deck allows for escape.
@@marilyn8682 that's true but it's in the middle of the woods so there probably be no place to go to if you did escape that's if something evil was happening here
I would do a real-estate record search- most can be done online now- that would tell you the owner and lead to more info.
I agree.
I don't think this channel spends much time going into that stuff.
Much of it is online and once you know the owners you can search the papers etc.
I've actually looked up the owners of a few videos he's done and in 1 I found he was a millionaire scam artists with a cult following and fake doctorates with earnings of $50,000 per city he would go through giving speaking engagements etc.
It would make these videos a hundred times more interesting.
Sometimes he does research the properties. Maybe Jay couldn't find anything on this house.
Breakneck hey... post what you find out. I agree with you! It’s not hard to find the owners!
@@MzClementine, need more specific info than "the Catskills" to do that. Why didn't he give a more exact location?
Has anyone found the address or location of this house? I'd like to see how far off the road it is. To me, I see something someone built in the mid 80s, early 90s. It's a custom home, so someone built it from their dream home idea and might have been successful, maybe even the home claims much of the land around it. Big houses of wealth can often have a long private road up to it.
If this person was successful in the 80s, had a family, that family became teenagers and school was kind of an ordeal to get to everyday, they had multiple generations, and then in 2006 just before the housing economy took a dive in 2008, they may have decided it was not viable anymore. The problem with building your dream home in the woods is that mold, moisture, and accessibility all become too much. The "newer" looking toys were all very popular in that time, but those kids have to be adults now. I hesitate to get on board with this sex trafficking fear everyone has because of the uniqueness of the layout, and all the tropes of a mother in law's suite downstairs. I've seen houses with basements like that, and I have seen a lot of home saunas and none of them meant anything horrible. Twenty mattresses? Ten beds, ten mattresses, ten box springs. A lot of people get new ones when they move to not bring bugs with them.
Anyway, public records will set it straight. If it was trafficking, there's a police report. If not, real estate records will have better answers.
That crib horrified me. Something bad definitely happened there! I'll bet it was pretty before.
When I hear "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" I already know it's going to be a great video. like before seeing it... let's go😍
Oh wow Jay that was a spectacular video!! I agree with you~that has been an orphanage or halfway house.I really enjoyed it. So very very cool Jay!!!" Thrilling! !! Thank (_-😂😥💌
Sandy ... same here! 👍
I wonder if there was some type of flood or natural disaster that occurred nearby to make the floors so bad in such a short time considering the roof was metal water had to have gotten in some other way. Great video! I love watching these types of videos it always makes me wonder why the owners left?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I was thinking flood too, I noticed on at least one wall it looked like a water mark about a quarter of the way up, but I don't know, it seems that something major happened for it to decay so fast. JP has video a lot older homes that were in a lot better shape than this one, :)
Annette Moreau it looks like most of the plumbing has been scavenged from the house for copper. If it’s well or artesian water, the water would continue to flow when the pipes were cut. 13 years of abandonment do not bring that kind of rot. With a metal roof in place it should have dated dry inside so I’m betting this is water intrusion due to cut plumbing. Even in in some of the bathrooms, there were no faucet sets, toilets ripped from the walls-
@@simonthecat ..i'm thinking all the sky-lites leak.
If i had my guess it looks like a rehab type facility or something along those lines. Rooms with individual bathrooms and PA systems in each room. Large boiler room. Seems to make most sense to me
Except that I have worked in every type of residential facility as a nurse: forensic, drug, alcohol and eating disorders rehab, psychiatric adult, geriatric and teenage, celebrity mental hospital, medical school for developmentally disabled people, spinal injury rehab, Alzheimer's care, and for each one there are glaring no-no's you would never see in them. You don't have spiral stairs or windows to the ground 2 floors below in a place for old people, little kids, blind people, or mentally ill people....etc. I don't know what was going on there but it would be a large strange family or group of families with odd or creepy hobbies. The one thing that MIGHT fit is a creepy crazy religious compound or "end of the world cult...and why did they leave? If they lost the property to a group break-up or foreclosure, just maybe...but religious cults also often have Overlord-like leaders and lots of sick things going on with kids, too. And many things don't match them, either.
Yes people always jump the gun think the worst
This house is such a mess,it makes me itch.
You can't help but wonder if the place was used for holding children. SRA is real and there are thousands of children being ritually sacrificed. Why would there be so many beds and I saw more than one baby bed frame. Scary place. I have heard so many stories from SRA victims who have survived. God bless and always be careful cause you really don't know what you might find.
This was my thinking also. Place seemed set for children but had a sauna and wine cellar ? Too modern yet gives BAD vibes.
This is really set up weird. It seems like a halfway house or a rehabilitation facility or it could be an orphanage. Really interesting find though.
That was my thought as well.
Something odd about it, yet intriguing.
Maybe a motel "each bedroom has it's own bathroom."
@@laurak9666 yeah that could be. I never thought of that.
@@jasoncarskadon6809 All I know is that if it were a motel then there's no way an insurance company would've let them be opened for business without a balcony upstairs, or that door couldn't be there. Too dangerous, especially if there's kids around. It definitely wouldn't make it through even one inspection. It would've needed a way out from upstairs if there was a fire, or some other kind of emergency. It'd be interesting to find out what the area is zoned for.
Grow room in a closet, walls ripped out as if there was an extensive search done. What do you bet the guy was growing pot, he got raided and went to prison?
Nobody would abandon a house like that without putting it on the market and selling it, unless he was detained.
When this home was first built it would have been Lovely, But not my kind of home, too many hallways. We call the heating in the floor ducted heating. All those mattress's hmmm maybe a mattress hoarder, or just a house used for EVIL towards children or sex slaves. if the mattress was wet, bloodied they just kept them 😳 I don't know creepy. On this Our Home Earth in my opinion 40% of humans are Good 60% of Human's are just plain Evil. Give me Animal's over Human's any day. Nature will take this house in no time with the damage, snakes, spiders, rats and creepy Human's. Thank you from Australia
