  • In this video we'll be exploring an early 20th Century abandoned stone house in Kentucky. It's only been vacant a few years but you'll see just how much decay can occur within that short period of time. It was absolutely freezing cold the day we explored this house, my hands were numb and later in a lot of pain lol.. Thanks for watching.

    I cannot explain it, but I feel sad when I see these old beauties going to ruin. I like to think about the families that have lived there, and all the happy times shared.

    Awesome! I would never have been able to summon the courage to go into that basement though.

    That song was perfect! The emotion that is conveyed in the song is evident in what the viewer sees, a sad and lonely house! The gingham wallpaper suggests that there was once happy people here! That bathroom oh my! Pink and a purple toilet seat with a daisy on the light switch! Wow! A little psychedelic! Sad and left to wither away! Thank you so much for taking me on this wonderful adventure!

      Well expressed. And someone certainly did spend some time decorating- one does get the idea that there were happy people living there.
      Thank you, Kentucky Urbex, for a terrific video.

    Beautiful old stone house. Love the wide baseboards, all the built ins and large windows. Barely saw a full view of the cool old fashioned kitchen sink and the cool woodwork above the doors. The old base of the closet light fixture was gorgeous! And you thought exactly the same thought I had about that bell on the basement steps. Just watched that movie "again" the other day so it was fresh in my mind lol! It is so sad to see these old homes because they were someone's home at one time waste away. And last I guess you could call it the house of doors. Good job I enjoyed the trip.

      +Deborah Bond Thanks Deborah, glad you enjoyed the video. I've also thought of it has the house of doors : ) And the bell.. lol.. glad to hear someone else shared my thoughts on that. It is sad to see them go to waste, I want to film as many as I can so that at least their memory will live on in some small way

  • @karenquick8737
    @karenquick8737 7 років тому +2

    Thank you for taking the time, and so sorry about the freezing cold you had to go through with doing this for us. Loved the old woodwork, the arches here and there, the staircases, the vines coming through to the inside, that actually made it beautiful even today.

    I know that I have said this before on another video, but the music you choose combined with the images you film, bring a level of poignancy to your videos that is lacking in many other urbex videos that I watch. For those who do not want a soundtrack to the videos, there are many other urbex channels that do not use music. Or, you could do as I often do, when I am interested in watching a particular video, but cannot abide listening to inane comments made by the videographer, and simply mute your computer. The music that you choose for each video makes for a much deeper, richer experience for me. I appreciate the amount of work that you bring to each of your videos, and I look forward to experiencing each new adventure that you share.

    • @KentuckyUrbex
      @KentuckyUrbex  8 років тому +1

      +MegaGinia I really appreciate it, sorry it's taken me awhile to get back to this and quite a few other comments. It means a lot that you enjoy my videos the way I intend them to be, thats really a great thing to me, thanks again :)

    Every old building had a spirit of its own, and that was joined by the spirits of those who occupied it. Its sad to lose anything that once protected and helped others get through their lives, which are shorter than we realize....

    You should get some neopren gloves, they are warm and can't get wet and you will still have a good grip on your camera you can also get some handwarmers, we use them when fishing in cold weather, you light a piece of coal up and close it, keep in your pocket to warm hands before they freeze, both can be bought in fishing equipment stores :)

    • @KentuckyUrbex
      @KentuckyUrbex  8 років тому

      +dearnapst I've been looking for some good gloves to film with when the weather is cold, so I might have to try some of those, thanks! Although I hope to not need any the rest of the year, but Ill keep it in mind for next winter

    Another excellent and enjoyable (albeit sad) video!! I love the built-ins in this home, those are great! And I think the wired bell looking object was actually a really old doorbell if I remember correctly. I've seen a few homes with them and my Grandmother's house had one as well. Keep these vids comin' my friend! :-)

    It seems like a lot of these old houses are on the eastern side of the U.S. Central East and lower East.

    • @KentuckyUrbex
      @KentuckyUrbex  8 років тому

      +shannonm75 While I haven't done much traveling in the western U.S, it seems that way to me as well. As it pertains to the oldest of homes, of course those are naturally on the eastern side as it was settled first.. but its also a shame that so many of those are left to ruin.
