Those pictures are worth a thousand dollars to me. So sad a box of three beautiful memories are laying on a staircase in an abandoned house. Pictures reflecting happy moments that no one left on the Earth cares about any longer. That is so unexplainably sad to me.
There's an image on facebook that says "When somebody says 10 years ago I still think they're talking about the 90's". I think it happens to a lot of people, including me lol
***** seeing those photos and mostly the wedding pic on the stairs made me really think about the people who lived there and what their life was like. thank you so much for sharing :)
As someone who's always had a fascination with older houses, these videos of yours are heartbreaking: all these amazing nineteenth century houses, some pre-civil war era, many quite substantial and well-built just left to mold away. The area you live in must have been booming in the mid 1800s to have built so many great houses and then just discard them.
Have you ever been tempted to preserve the old photographs? Notice I didn't use the word 'take'? It seems so wasteful to leave them rotting in those old houses. They are records of someone's existence on earth.
Of all the things I see in all of these videos, I've always thought that I'd love to save the pictures of all the people and animals that I would find. I would make a giant collage. No idea of who the people and animals are, but someone would have a continued record of their existence.
It's really sad to see how someone's belongings are just left to rot. It is interesting to see, but sad at the same time. It must feel very eerie to walk through a place like this. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I moved around so much when I was a kid, I wish I'd see one of my old homes in a video on youtube. This house reminds me of a house we lived in, in 1990, only we were in Taylorsville, NC. And it was a huge blue house. We left suddenly and only took what fit in the uhaul van because my aunt in FL was burned in a fire and we had to get to her fast. I often wonder what happened to my old toys and things we couldnt take.
Finding items left behind such as old clothes and photos make for a personal touch but incredibly sad too. You imagine photos as permanent snapshots in time and they would have been treasured by their owners. It's life but a poignant part of it.
How is it that these old places are left to just rot away? Are they owned by the banks and forgotten? Odd that there were calendars still pinned up that were 8 years apart.
Awesome house with awesome and amazing dated things!!!!!!!! I LOVE when I see old T.V's, papers from 1963. But my heart melted when I saw all those clothes still hanging on hooks waiting to be worn again. It's almost as if time was frozen
Looks like the house had what was called forced air heating, I just did a partial renovation on a house built in 1950 with the same heating system, when they work they work really well and heat up a house really quick....The house had worked on was of most likely the same situation like the one you are shown here exploring, an elderly woman had just passed away, and there were parts of the house that had not been used in over 40 years, but with some labor and a dumpster or two, you would be amazed at what can be restored, as long as the sub structure and the frame of the building is sound it can be fixed, I'm sure this particular house you felt should be torn down, actually it just needs to be gutted and cleaned, the owner of the property most likely knows this, hence the reason it still stands, Be safe and keep Exploring, thanks for the great shoot.
Someone asked where this was filmed. I noted on the original subscription "About" description that they were all filmed in Ontario Canada unless otherwise noted. Amazingly haunting. So sad that all these invaluable relics from the past are just rotting away. I agree with others that they should be salvaged and shared with collectors who value this nostalgia. Thanks for sharing this amazing video. I am looking forward to watching your others.
I just want to say that i love abandoned houses and places and how people like you actually explore the places slowly and discover things in each room. Thinking who used to live here and what they left behind. I love you take your time looking through the rooms and investigating new parts of the rooms and the small things they have to hide in them. Looking forward to new videos!
This is a real treat to see what was someones living environment from decades gone by looks like. So nice to see that no copper thieves have ripped the walls apart to steel wiring. I truly enjoyed this video so much that I watched it three times. I wish the house could be saved. The base boards were so cool, in every corner was some kind of ornament made into the base boards. You just wont see that kind of craftsmanship today. Sad to see it deteriorating to nothing. Thanks like always for a in depth exploration.
A clean out team would be able to come out and get things in order. I saw money in the beginning and those two televisions would be worth something. My Mother had the same blue vacuum when I grew up in the 80's. Thank you for another wonderful video!!
That is a great find! It looks as though the house was just left 'as-is'. It is amazing to see these and wonder how/why people lived when this house was full of life.
This one is so sad. I wonder if the wife died first and the husband became a bit of a hoarder - the papers and clutter. It seems like it was once a happy house and now it's just being taken back by nature
What a sad house - it was a family home at one time, those hanging clothes were kind of spooky and the tv's are so collectable, strange no one took them - thanks for taking us along!
The "odd contraption" on the cellar stairs wall is a carrier for moving houseplants in and out of the house. You and a partner hold it horizontally and the houseplant pot nestles into the hole in the middle.
Crosby was a television brand back in the 1960s, as I recall. That space heater upstairs was likely just for that room, maybe for a couple of rooms. Likely ran on oil. Could not have been used to heat the downstairs, because heat rises and those kinds of heaters didn't have forced-air fans on the ducts.
a bit messy, but had a lot of info left for you. my wife never would have made it upstairs, with all of the down feathers every where. lol. thank you for sharing.
I just recently started watching your video's. I can say I'm hooked lol its quite interesting the stuff you find in these houses especially the Reverends house. I could of been in there for days exploring. They're are a lot of abandoned houses where I live but I have never been in them. I think I have pretty much watched all of your video's lol. Thanks for sharing your adventures of abandoned houses with us.
I like this one and the story right when you see the photos laying right there. 50's 60's stuff. The 91 calendar I don't get as most the stuff including bottles go way before my time even in the 80's. Tvs are cool. I love how the brown door paint is all cracked. The peeling colors (popular 50's/60's) through out. Great find.
Awesome Vid. This is one of my favorites. This reminds me, I have a buddy that owns a lot of land and there is a house on the property that has been untouched for over 20 years. It is still completely furnished and intact.
Hi, Tiki, great video. It is one of my new favs of your vids. You can really get a sense of the people that once lived there. I think you were right about the couple and the fact that the wife must have passed on first. I personally am glad that they saved all of those old papers. The pictures brought a tear to my eyes. I hated to see them just laying there, peoples lives and memories left to rot on the floor, very sad. I was also reminded of the cat house which was another fav video. I found myself worried about you after the lull in videos after the Bahamas (or was it Jamaica) video. Glad you are safe and still exploring happily. Your commentary during the explore is top notch, kudos!!
Hi Jennifer! Thanks so much for your kind words. That was the Jamaica one. We had a very long unusually harsh winter this year, so that's why I wasn't out exploring. :)
Wow Miss Tiki, what a gem of a find and thank you for bringing it to us! I knew nothing of the items in that house but I do remember some of those old toiletries from my grandparents bathroom. I can just picture and older gentleman trying to go on with life & take care of himself. It tells a heartbreaking story honestly. Thank you bringing us on your adventures!
Thank you, I so enjoy watching your videos and imagining what may have happened to the occupants. I especially like all the old stuff you come across. Looking forward to your next video :)
It is so awesome to see these old houses through your camera! It would only be better if I could go too! I love finding these old places! I use to go metal detecting back in the 80's and early 90's and there is tresure to be found in these old houses! I am not out doing much of it anymore but this summer I sure plan too! Thanks for the video's and always be safe and have fun!
***** Can I ask a question? Have you ever come across anything paranormal in your quest? In my younger days I was quite the explorer myself, one day we found an old farm house that had been empty for 10 years or so. The state bought the land for the wet land birds so the people took everything with them. When we went into the house I got the goose bumps right away and about 10 minutes later we heard and old woman ask, "Who's there?" The house was soon turely empty because we ran so fast I think we broke the sound barrier!! Would love to know if this has ever happened to you. Thanks and keep the videos coming!! And BE Safe!
Elizabeth Gaspodnetich That's quite the daunting story. In all the years I have been exploring, I can't say I've ever experienced anything like that or any other type of paranormal event.
***** My husband and I were staying overnight at the original Marblehead Inn and had a ghostly experience. I asked a gal pal whose husband is a psychiatrist what he thought about paranormal and she said it exists, but that not everyone is sensitive to it. Those who are often experience problems because of it. I also believe in charismatic experiences as well having had many amazing coincidences in my life.
I used to be a meter reader for the power company 20 plus years ago and ran into abandoned/vacant properties and did a little exploration myself but not at the level you take it. This has always been a secret fascination for me. Watching this brings back so many memories for me because I ran into similar situations. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work =)
I'd love to live in a house like this (not all rotten and dilapidated though) These old farm houses with all the old woodwork always sounded like a place I'd like to live.
Another awesome find Tiki. Finally getting nice here in PA. Hope it is in your area. Also I see you have the same problem I had with the youtube view count not showing the correct count. It still recording the views and will start showing the correct number in a few hours. Good old UA-cam
Oh, I never noticed that until now that you mentioned it. Yep, that is UA-cam for you. It's getting nicer here as well, although we did have some dusting of snow overnight which has melted again, though. Thanks, Steve.
This is common with video that gain a lot views fast. UA-cam has to confirm those views before thye appear in your total. A lot of the really huge channels will show 301 views for while after they post even though it really has thousands of views.
Abandoned Steve I have a new account instead the account of toilets (John Toilet) I have John Urbex! I just uploaded a video and I will upload another one.
i was a young man when i found her, holes in roof, floors fallin in. i went to work . weve had many good years,now im old and cant fight back mother nature anymore. ill die soon. i wish they would let me lay here in my run down old house and let us decay together
Don't you want to begin a scrapbook of pictures from every house you go to- just the left-behind pictures, nothing else, with the story under them? That would be a dream. I don't think I could just leave someone's wedding picture on the floor...
This old house had some really nice artifacts for you to explore. Once again, I love all of your exploration videos of these old farm houses. Nice job!!
Ok a good way to "date stamp" an old house is look for common items, find the time period of those items and then put them together, then compare them to other items such as books, calanders etc... You can then get a good idea of the date the place was last occupied... For example, the items in the kitchen were about 1970s to 1980s... The furnichure was ruoghly of the same time (exept TVs), the Old Spice, RightGuard, and other items were late 1980s to early 1990s... The latest calander read "1991"... So I would "date stamp" this house as 1991/1992... Anyway, you do a brilliant job with the camera and commentary...
Again a really fascinating find. My mind races with imagining who lived there and why so many items were left. In reading some comments, some people are thinking of starting to divest themselves of items meaningful to them, I guess out of fear they will be found scattered by future explorers. I so appreciate your finds and look forward to each video you post. Thanks again!
Hi ! Just watched this video again, and I don't know if this has been mentioned previously, but the item hanging in the basement stairwell looked like a yoke, maybe put on a critter like a cow or mule to have them pull a wagon, plow, or the like. Crosley also made very small cars in the late '40s and early '50s. They were not much bigger than a lawn tractor, but they were hi-way legal.
Wow! This house took me back. My Grandmother had a house like that, I remember it well back in the 1940's. The bathroom fixtures may have been updated from the time the house was built. Only if walls could talk. Thanks for taking a chance on this one. Sort of spooky,,,,,.Right...?
Another great video! I would have to spend a day or two looking at everything in there! I think the bathroom was my favorite room, all the old bottles and what not. Thanks Tiki :)
Love your video, the wooden thing in the basement on the wall was used to carry a heavy bucket, you put the bucket in the hole and someone would be in front holding the 2 handles and someone behind holding handles.
fantastic old house..the yellow brick is very typical of southern Ontario. the heater on the top floor was a kerosene heater for sure.. just look for a aluminium oval shape carburetor in the back of the heater and maybe a tank of fuel ...solid old house like that can be gutted to the studs and renovated and lived in again.. needs 200.000$ worth of work ..full gut..
I am impressed how careful you are not to disturb what you find…. even though others before were not so. I have watched a couple of your videos and I would find it very hard not to look at things a little more closely ( papers and things left behind) and I often desire to grab the hardware. I find your videos fascinating and of course would love to see more research of the history of the residents afterwords. However, I respect and admire your artistic intuition to stop when you do. I am excited to see more!
Hi! I have just subscribed to your channel after watching several of your videos. They're perfectly done, and you can almost feel the previous tenants through their left behind items. There's no sensationalizing, no reference to ghosts, hauntings, and spiritualism. And your voice is pleasant to hear as you narrate. I'd better get busy... I have about 425 videos to watch !! ;-) Thank you for your most interesting channel! Freddie.
Yay, I am dieing for a new TikiTrek(TM) Abandoned Video. Your narration is always awesome. Going to watch it on the big screen together with my girlfriend :)
***** We did, very much. Thank you for sharing this great find. Awesome. My girlfriend started to pronounce the word "out" the canadian way for some reason.... (she's from UK) :)
Chip Guy Vids Great! I always wondered what our "out" sounds like to others. I know some have said it sounds like "oot", but the funny thing is, when we hear someone from Scotland say it, that's how it sounds to us, lol.
The old TV was CROSLEY. They made other household appliances like refrigerators too (Crosley Shelvadoor had shelves in the door like most modern refrigerators. I think it also had a V shaped handle for opening the door and would open from either side, depending on which side of the V was pulled). There was also a Crosley car.....not sure if there is a connection. Thanks for the video. Glad you didn't attempt going in the basement with all the ice. Stay safe!
The wooden thing hanging on the wall in the basement entrance is a tool which ladies would use to wrap their clothes line (as a spool) when they would take it in after the wash dried. (I'm old enough to remember the elderly lady next door using one.)
Always a chair, curtains seem to hold up. That house used to be a comfortable home years ago but then the people became frail (as can be noted from medications, etc.). Thank you again, Pam. I go to these venues with you and comment feverishly about your well-being. I saw a couple of Nancy Drew mysteries, so a young grill must've lived there. Always try to read stuff as you film. Old newspapers, books, etc. Stay safe, girrrll.
Haha, yes, always a lone chair. I love trying to gather clues from the items left behind. Seems to be half of the fun! Thanks for exploring with me as always, Carole!
Wow, looks like the place was left relatively untouched by all except for nature since it was abandoned. So many things collectors would go crazy for. Even old pictures of the former owners lying about... Somehow gives me a nostalgic vibe. I can't help but be curious to know how much those vintage TVs would sell for. Excellent find; thanks for sharing :) .
What an amazing find!! Especially haunting are the shots of the curtains at the windows and the old photographs - better than any museum. Your film work is extraordinary - thank you for sharing this one.
I think that is an old coal burning stove. I'm glad you found the bathroom. I caught a glimpse of it and I thought you might miss it. I love your videos. They are the best!
Really cool, don't think it's the first time seeing this, ran across it again, Thank you for the amazing time capsule look at this farm house, maybe the farmer's elderly parents perhaps ?
I wish I could do stuff like this but unfortunately I live in Texas and if u get caught crossing private property you can get shot at.. so yall be careful outthere ask first before crossing property lines if possible ; ) thanks for the video
That house appears to still be in repairable condition, which is remarkable considering how long it's been abandoned. It's sad to see those old farm houses just decay away, especially considering how much history they have behind them.
Sorry commenting again, Lol. Those chairs are also amazing, those suckers sell for 75.00+ at the antique stores! Do you ever talk to the owners of the land in some of these places and ask if you can have some of this stuff? Also what would be cool is Metal Detecting around these places!
This video is amazing!! I am so intrigued by it, as I was definitely not expecting old televisions and stuff. Wow, is all I can say. What I found really interesting were the really old photos and all the stuff. This was an awesome video.
Interesting how this used to be the realm of kids, but now it's so dangerous for kids to be out exploring, that it's mostly done by grown men and women lol...well I'm glad SOMEONE's doing it; thanks for posting these so I can explore a bit too!
Hey TikiTrex!Yay!!!!!Your back!!!! :D This is a nice find!Awesome!I love when you find houses with clothing in them and stuff...and not vandalized :) I really enjoyed this vid, thanks for going to all the places I wish I could go lol :)
***** Not a problem! :) You're genuinely one of my favourite UA-camrs, your genre is so unique. I would love to do urban exploration here in Ireland but I don't think I'd be able to go alone, plus I think it may be trespassing. I'll just let the professionals do it instead :)
This home was AMAZING back in its day I'm sure! And those vintage TV's were an Excellent find!! I really enjoyed the tour, keep 'em coming! (and be safe!) :-)
Hey Tiki.Awsome find.A lot of really neat old stuff.Please be careful out on your Trex.Covering your microphone really did help.I could hear you clearly.Thank You for taking the time to go out and film these great historic places that we otherwise might never see.Your one of my favorite urbanex's out their.Later.
Those pictures are worth a thousand dollars to me. So sad a box of three beautiful memories are laying on a staircase in an abandoned house. Pictures reflecting happy moments that no one left on the Earth cares about any longer. That is so unexplainably sad to me.

I do the same thing! I'm glad I'm not the only one, lol. It is so true, though.
***** seeing those photos and mostly the wedding pic on the stairs made me really think about the people who lived there and what their life was like. thank you so much for sharing :)
penniesfromheavon The photos did sort of add a warmer, human touch to the atmosphere, sort of giving the old house an identity.
Norman Bates Yes it did, made it more real to me.
Im 19 and yes it happens to me to.
As someone who's always had a fascination with older houses, these videos of yours are heartbreaking: all these amazing nineteenth century houses, some pre-civil war era, many quite substantial and well-built just left to mold away. The area you live in must have been booming in the mid 1800s to have built so many great houses and then just discard them.
Thank you you are one of the very few who move the camera correctly and do not get me sea sick. I am able to see what is there ! thanks again !!

Great seeing all the old artifacts in this house. The Hai Karate aftershave in the bathroom was popular in the late 60s - early 70s.
I love the way you treat these abandoned houses and things in them with respect. Not all urban explorers do.
Finding items left behind such as old clothes and photos make for a personal touch but incredibly sad too. You imagine photos as permanent snapshots in time and they would have been treasured by their owners. It's life but a poignant part of it.

I can just picture it with people in it after it was first built. I bet it was so pretty in its glory day.
Looks like the house had what was called forced air heating, I just did a partial renovation on a house built in 1950 with the same heating system, when they work they work really well and heat up a house really quick....The house had worked on was of most likely the same situation like the one you are shown here exploring, an elderly woman had just passed away, and there were parts of the house that had not been used in over 40 years, but with some labor and a dumpster or two, you would be amazed at what can be restored, as long as the sub structure and the frame of the building is sound it can be fixed, I'm sure this particular house you felt should be torn down, actually it just needs to be gutted and cleaned, the owner of the property most likely knows this, hence the reason it still stands, Be safe and keep Exploring, thanks for the great shoot.
What a shame to see their photos scattered on the floor.
Those TV's are a great find... the tall one in the corner (an RCA I think) is indeed a beautiful piece. Too bad so few people appreciate them.
Hello my friend I love older homes so much more spacious and high ceilings thanks for sharing take care buddy from Raymond in New York ❤️✌️

Thank you for another wonderful video!!
That is a great find! It looks as though the house was just left 'as-is'. It is amazing to see these and wonder how/why people lived when this house was full of life.
Wow! Now that is a time capsule for sure! Between the newspapers, tvs, and the clothing it seems gone back to the early 60s. Just awesome!! :)
I can't even find a picture of an identical Crosley TV on Google. That could be a pretty rare old antique TV. Very cool!
Sad old house...the pictures really got to me.
This place is an antiquers dream come true! My husband and I were laughing at the Hai Karate cologne in the medicine cabinet!
Sad seeing the pictures.
About five years ago on my street in Toronto. A small house was abandoned for about ten years. Now someone has fixed it up. A family now lives in it.
Well my Canadian Friend that was A awesome find! Great video. The clothes hanging there were kind of freaky. Great work. Thanks.
Thank you!
The Pepsi bottle! I'm a baby boomer so we had those type of bottles. It was great and it tasted better in glass then from a can.
Great molding, colors. A wonderful place in its time.
Oh my gosh, don't worry about the date. I still think 1990 was 10 years ago Haha Love what you do!!
This one is so sad. I wonder if the wife died first and the husband became a bit of a hoarder - the papers and clutter. It seems like it was once a happy house and now it's just being taken back by nature
Tikki could read the telephone directory and I would enjoy listening .:) ..but these abandoned houses sure are interesting.
wow, I am 66 years old and have moved several times in my lifetime and I never leave stuff behind. It amazes how many people leave so much stuff.
What a sad house - it was a family home at one time, those hanging clothes were kind of spooky and the tv's are so collectable, strange no one took them - thanks for taking us along!
The "odd contraption" on the cellar stairs wall is a carrier for moving houseplants in and out of the house. You and a partner hold it horizontally and the houseplant pot nestles into the hole in the middle.

Wow! Seeing this video sure transported me back to my childhood. Seeing all that furniture it was like being home again. Great video as always!
a bit messy, but had a lot of info left for you. my wife never would have made it upstairs, with all of the down feathers every where. lol. thank you for sharing.
Door casings still intact with the designs in the corners, WOW!
It's kind of sad seeing old pictures of happy times in a house that is such bad shape... I'm glad the old owners can't see it like this.
I just recently started watching your video's. I can say I'm hooked lol its quite interesting the stuff you find in these houses especially the Reverends house. I could of been in there for days exploring. They're are a lot of abandoned houses where I live but I have never been in them. I think I have pretty much watched all of your video's lol. Thanks for sharing your adventures of abandoned houses with us.
When i watch your videos i think they are so cool and these old houses that you go to are stuck in there own time Thanks for inspiring me..
I like this one and the story right when you see the photos laying right there. 50's 60's stuff. The 91 calendar I don't get as most the stuff including bottles go way before my time even in the 80's. Tvs are cool. I love how the brown door paint is all cracked.

Thanks for some really nice videos. I have always enjoyed looking at abandoned houses and other buildings. This allows me to continue doing that.
Hi, Tiki, great video. It is one of my new favs of your vids. You can really get a sense of the people that once lived there. I think you were right about the couple and the fact that the wife must have passed on first. I personally am glad that they saved all of those old papers. The pictures brought a tear to my eyes.

Hi Jennifer! Thanks so much for your kind words. That was the Jamaica one. We had a very long unusually harsh winter this year, so that's why I wasn't out exploring. :)
Wow Miss Tiki, what a gem of a find and thank you for bringing it to us! I knew nothing of the items in that house but I do remember some of those old toiletries from my grandparents bathroom. I can just picture and older gentleman trying to go on with life & take care of himself. It tells a heartbreaking story honestly. Thank you bringing us on your adventures!
Thank you for exploring with me, Gina!
Wouldn't mind having those old television sets to restore. What a cool place!
Thank you, I so enjoy watching your videos and imagining what may have happened to the occupants. I especially like all the old stuff you come across. Looking forward to your next video :)
It is so awesome to see these old houses through your camera! It would only be better if I could go too! I love finding these old places! I use to go metal detecting back in the 80's and early 90's and there is tresure to be found in these old houses! I am not out doing much of it anymore but this summer I sure plan too! Thanks for the video's and always be safe and have fun!
Thank you, Elizabeth! I'm happy to bring these places to you so we explore them together.

Can I ask a question? Have you ever come across anything paranormal in your quest? In my younger days I was quite the explorer myself, one day we found an old farm house that had been empty for 10 years or so. The state bought the land for the wet land birds so the people took everything with them. When we went into the house I got the goose bumps right away and about 10 minutes later we heard and old woman ask, "Who's there?" The house was soon turely empty because we ran so fast I think we broke the sound barrier!! Would love to know if this has ever happened to you. Thanks and keep the videos coming!! And BE Safe!
Elizabeth Gaspodnetich That's quite the daunting story. In all the years I have been exploring, I can't say I've ever experienced anything like that or any other type of paranormal event.

Well let's hope you never do! Scared the beegeebee's out of me! Keep on Treck'n and be safe!
***** My husband and I were staying overnight at the original Marblehead Inn and had a ghostly experience. I asked a gal pal whose husband is a psychiatrist what he thought about paranormal and she said it exists, but that not everyone is sensitive to it. Those who are often experience problems because of it. I also believe in charismatic experiences as well having had many amazing coincidences in my life.
I used to be a meter reader for the power company 20 plus years ago and ran into abandoned/vacant properties and did a little exploration myself but not at the level you take it. This has always been a secret fascination for me. Watching this brings back so many memories for me because I ran into similar situations. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work =)
Thank you, Jaime! Sounds like the perfect job if you're looking for these places.
Idk if I prefer my meter read or for BGE to make their "estimates" lol.
I'd love to live in a house like this (not all rotten and dilapidated though) These old farm houses with all the old woodwork always sounded like a place I'd like to live.
I'm with you there! I love older houses, hate the newer "cookie cutter' houses. No personality at all.
compactc9 they come with Spirits
Linda Root I've lived with spirits before. No biggie.
And once when a family loved and shared, so many precious memories, long ago swallowed by the silence of breath now drawn only by the walls.
Another awesome find Tiki. Finally getting nice here in PA. Hope it is in your area. Also I see you have the same problem I had with the youtube view count not showing the correct count. It still recording the views and will start showing the correct number in a few hours. Good old UA-cam
Oh, I never noticed that until now that you mentioned it. Yep, that is UA-cam for you. It's getting nicer here as well, although we did have some dusting of snow overnight which has melted again, though. Thanks, Steve.
This is common with video that gain a lot views fast. UA-cam has to confirm those views before thye appear in your total. A lot of the really huge channels will show 301 views for while after they post even though it really has thousands of views.
Abandoned Steve I have a new account instead the account of toilets (John Toilet) I have John Urbex! I just uploaded a video and I will upload another one.
I love how you don't touch/move anything :)
Loved this house, full of really great things!
i was a young man when i found her, holes in roof, floors fallin in. i went to work . weve had many good years,now im old and cant fight back mother nature anymore. ill die soon. i wish they would let me lay here in my run down old house and let us decay together
+Dano Man
Maybe they will, who knows?
That's so beautiful the way stated that I hope you are doing fine may God bless you .
Don't you want to begin a scrapbook of pictures from every house you go to- just the left-behind pictures, nothing else, with the story under them? That would be a dream. I don't think I could just leave someone's wedding picture on the floor...
This old house had some really nice artifacts for you to explore. Once again, I love all of your exploration videos of these old farm houses. Nice job!!
Thanks, John! I'm glad you love my explorations!
Ok a good way to "date stamp" an old house is look for common items, find the time period of those items and then put them together, then compare them to other items such as books, calanders etc... You can then get a good idea of the date the place was last occupied... For example, the items in the kitchen were about 1970s to 1980s... The furnichure was ruoghly of the same time (exept TVs), the Old Spice, RightGuard, and other items were late 1980s to early 1990s... The latest calander read "1991"... So I would "date stamp" this house as 1991/1992... Anyway, you do a brilliant job with the camera and commentary...
Again a really fascinating find. My mind races with imagining who lived there and why so many items were left. In reading some comments, some people are thinking of starting to divest themselves of items meaningful to them, I guess out of fear they will be found scattered by future explorers. I so appreciate your finds and look forward to each video you post. Thanks again!
Hi ! Just watched this video again, and I don't know if this has been mentioned previously, but the item hanging in the basement stairwell looked like a yoke, maybe put on a critter like a cow or mule to have them pull a wagon, plow, or the like.
Crosley also made very small cars in the late '40s and early '50s. They were not much bigger than a lawn tractor, but they were hi-way legal.
What a great find. I love all your videos. Thank you from England x
Thanks again for another good trip! I would love to have that old heater. I always enjoy the tours with you. LS
Thank you, Lane! I'm so glad you enjoy the tours. :)
Nice video awesome old house lots off cool things to look at Thanks for sharing cheers Al
Wow! This house took me back. My Grandmother had a house like that, I remember it well back in the 1940's. The bathroom fixtures may have been
updated from the time the house was built. Only if walls could talk. Thanks
for taking a chance on this one. Sort of spooky,,,,,.Right...?
Another great video! I would have to spend a day or two looking at everything in there! I think the bathroom was my favorite room, all the old bottles and what not. Thanks Tiki :)
Thanks, Heather. :) It would be nice spending a full day there searching through everything.
So weird! There are items spanning multiple decades! Even the calendars. That's so bizarre...
Love your video, the wooden thing in the basement on the wall was used to carry a heavy bucket, you put the bucket in the hole and someone would be in front holding the 2 handles and someone behind holding handles.
fantastic old house..the yellow brick is very typical of southern Ontario. the heater on the top floor was a kerosene heater for sure.. just look for a aluminium oval shape carburetor in the back of the heater and maybe a tank of fuel ...solid old house like that can be gutted to the studs and renovated and lived in again.. needs 200.000$ worth of work ..full gut..
I am impressed how careful you are not to disturb what you find…. even though others before were not so. I have watched a couple of your videos and I would find it very hard not to look at things a little more closely ( papers and things left behind) and I often desire to grab the hardware. I find your videos fascinating and of course would love to see more research of the history of the residents afterwords. However, I respect and admire your artistic intuition to stop when you do. I am excited to see more!
enjoyed watching!!!! thx for the share
Hi! I have just subscribed to your channel after watching several of your videos. They're perfectly done, and you can almost feel the previous tenants through their left behind items. There's no sensationalizing, no reference to ghosts, hauntings, and spiritualism. And your voice is pleasant to hear as you narrate. I'd better get busy... I have about 425 videos to watch !! ;-)
Thank you for your most interesting channel!
Freddie.
Hi Freddie! Thank you for subscribing along with your kind words! Welcome and enjoy! :)
Another great find! Wow, its been a while since I've seen a feather mattress!
Yay, I am dieing for a new TikiTrek(TM) Abandoned Video. Your narration is always awesome. Going to watch it on the big screen together with my girlfriend :)
Awesome! Thank you, and I hope you enjoy! :)
*****
We did, very much. Thank you for sharing this great find. Awesome. My girlfriend started to pronounce the word "out" the canadian way for some reason.... (she's from UK) :)
Chip Guy Vids Great! I always wondered what our "out" sounds like to others. I know some have said it sounds like "oot", but the funny thing is, when we hear someone from Scotland say it, that's how it sounds to us, lol.
wow, that place was just plain Creepy..Another Great Job Tiki..
The old TV was CROSLEY. They made other household appliances like refrigerators too (Crosley Shelvadoor had shelves in the door like most modern refrigerators. I think it also had a V shaped handle for opening the door and would open from either side, depending on which side of the V was pulled). There was also a Crosley car.....not sure if there is a connection.
Thanks for the video. Glad you didn't attempt going in the basement with all the ice.
Stay safe!
Thanks for the informative comment, Norman!
Awesome ! there have a horde of "oldies things" I spotted the bird nest by the door @14:52. 5 Stars for your video shooting !
The wooden thing hanging on the wall in the basement entrance is a tool which ladies would use to wrap their clothes line (as a spool) when they would take it in after the wash dried. (I'm old enough to remember the elderly lady next door using one.)
Always a chair, curtains seem to hold up. That house used to be a comfortable home years ago but then the people became frail (as can be noted from medications, etc.). Thank you again, Pam. I go to these venues with you and comment feverishly about your well-being. I saw a couple of Nancy Drew mysteries, so a young grill must've lived there. Always try to read stuff as you film. Old newspapers, books, etc. Stay safe, girrrll.
Haha, yes, always a lone chair. I love trying to gather clues from the items left behind. Seems to be half of the fun! Thanks for exploring with me as always, Carole!
Wow, looks like the place was left relatively untouched by all except for nature since it was abandoned. So many things collectors would go crazy for. Even old pictures of the former owners lying about... Somehow gives me a nostalgic vibe. I can't help but be curious to know how much those vintage TVs would sell for. Excellent find; thanks for sharing :) .
What an amazing find!! Especially haunting are the shots of the curtains at the windows and the old photographs - better than any museum. Your film work is extraordinary - thank you for sharing this one.
Thank you for your nice comment and exploring with me, Meg!
I think that is an old coal burning stove. I'm glad you found the bathroom. I caught a glimpse of it and I thought you might miss it. I love your videos. They are the best!
+rskbamer Thanks!
+TikiTrex thats an old oil furnace people
Really cool, don't think it's the first time seeing this, ran across it again, Thank you for the amazing time capsule look at this farm house, maybe the farmer's elderly parents perhaps ?
Some History in that house Tiki. Cool Find ......... Thanks
I've also gotten interesting in looking at what's insidetthese old houses.I think you do a great job on your exploring and videos.
I wish I could do stuff like this but unfortunately I live in Texas and if u get caught crossing private property you can get shot at.. so yall be careful outthere ask first before crossing property lines if possible ; ) thanks for the video
That house appears to still be in repairable condition, which is remarkable considering how long it's been abandoned. It's sad to see those old farm houses just decay away, especially considering how much history they have behind them.
im so sorry for the people that are dying alone with no one to be there ..sometimes i ask my self what is wrong with this world :(
Sorry commenting again, Lol. Those chairs are also amazing, those suckers sell for 75.00+ at the antique stores! Do you ever talk to the owners of the land in some of these places and ask if you can have some of this stuff? Also what would be cool is Metal Detecting around these places!
This video is amazing!! I am so intrigued by it, as I was definitely not expecting old televisions and stuff. Wow, is all I can say. What I found really interesting were the really old photos and all the stuff. This was an awesome video.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Interesting how this used to be the realm of kids, but now it's so dangerous for kids to be out exploring, that it's mostly done by grown men and women lol...well I'm glad SOMEONE's doing it; thanks for posting these so I can explore a bit too!
yay another sweet find tiki I have to say its quite cool seeing all these abandoned places we have nothing like this in the uk
Hey TikiTrex!Yay!!!!!Your back!!!! :D This is a nice find!Awesome!I love when you find houses with clothing in them and stuff...and not vandalized :) I really enjoyed this vid, thanks for going to all the places I wish I could go lol :)
Hey Nora, no problem! Thanks. I enjoy bringing these places to you! :)
Great to see you're uploading more often Tiki. I always enjoy your videos :) Best of luck in the future.
Thank you so much, Alan! :)
***** Not a problem! :) You're genuinely one of my favourite UA-camrs, your genre is so unique. I would love to do urban exploration here in Ireland but I don't think I'd be able to go alone, plus I think it may be trespassing. I'll just let the professionals do it instead :)
So sad to see people's live's just thrown around .Thing's that where probably so important to them just rotting.Beautiful old house.
This home was AMAZING back in its day I'm sure! And those vintage TV's were an Excellent find!! I really enjoyed the tour, keep 'em coming! (and be safe!) :-)
Another excellent video by Tiki - you explore and examine just like I do - nice job!
Thanks, David!
Hey Tiki.Awsome find.A lot of really neat old stuff.Please be careful out on your Trex.Covering your microphone really did help.I could hear you clearly.Thank You for taking the time to go out and film these great historic places that we otherwise might never see.Your one of my favorite urbanex's out their.Later.
Thank you, Kevin! Your comment means a lot, and I'm glad you could hear me okay.
