    My parents built their home in 1965. My parents had passed by 2006 and I, being their only child, was left the home and all it’s contents. Believe me when I say it was emotionally overwhelming for me to deconstruct forty years of memories. It took years deciding what to keep, sell or give away. Our house was always a flurry of gatherings, filled with so much laughter and love. My heart was heavy during those years and seeing this home opened a floodgate of emotions for me. Perhaps their daughter doesn’t have the emotional or physical health to oversee the estate.
    Thank you, sir, for your great respect and heartfelt tour of this home.

      I was thinking the exact same thing. My mom passed a year ago and helping my dad go through everything was a constant memory, both good and bad. Even though it was my moms I felt as though I was violating her privacy some how.

      I'm guessing that's what's going in here. The place isn't totally abandoned, but it looks like someone only comes out once a year or so and they have someone mow now and then. Probably the daughter has a job out of state and doesn't have the time or energy to tackle what looks like a huge project. Not everyone is a UA-cam minimalist who wants to take all their family memories to Goodwill or the county dump. If you're on your own and don't have siblings, it takes time. She doesn't have to suit someone else's idea of her schedule

    The more I see your videos the more I realize how fleeting our lives are. All the "essential" things that we collect & cherish for so many years are just left behind, abandoned. As if they had a life of their own but perished along with their owners ... So surreal

      I was just thinking the same thing. You don’t think about it so much when people move into an older home and make it their own and continue the progress of life. But when you see an old abandoned home where time has literally stood still it’s amazing yet eerie. I’m reminded how fleeting our lives are and how our possessions continue on without us in a forever neglected and lonely life for them. Almost as if they’re laying in wait for their owners to return. A wine glass waiting to be filled. A book waiting to be read. A toy or game waiting to be played… So many things just frozen giving a glimpse into the memories that the walls hold and what life must’ve been like. It gives weight to the most important memories we make are the ones we make together not the things we collect and acquire. The memories we take with us or leave behind in another’s mind.

    In some way, it feels like we're violating the deceased person's property. Looking through their lives possessions. Everything this couple acquired in their lives is simply left behind after their deaths. As others have noted; I'm surprised this house wasn't cleared out and the home sold after her death. I didn't hear what happened to their only daughter or I missed it. Why she didn't leave the house to a family member or to her church.
    Something is just sad when seeing a deceased person's home left like this. All the important things in the world to them just left like that. It also makes me realize my own mortality and the need to downsize my "stuff" so no one has to deal with it when i'm gone.

    • @JeremyXplores
      @JeremyXplores  Рік тому +203

      Your comment really hits on the emotional complexities of what I do. It's something I think about often, and why I try my hardest to approach each place with the utmost respect and dignity. My aim isn't just to explore, but to document these homes because the stories of the people who lived here deserve to be told. Capturing their home on film is one of the most evocative ways to honor and understand them. There's so much we can learn from the lives that came before us - both in terms of the beauty they created and the waste we witness when they're gone. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful perspective. Your point about mortality and downsizing is very valid and adds another layer to the many complexities and emotions that come with exploring these forgotten homes.

      Love this one Jeremy! It felt like I was in a museum dedicated to my grandma. The wallet with her husbands ID broke my heart, my late husbands wallet sits in his dresser drawer upstairs where it has been for 9 long agonizing years without him. I still can’t go through all the drawers it hurts my heart. 💔
      I am amazed at the old furniture she either collected or was passed down to her, like the secretaries desk. Her respect she had for her home, the many wedding photos showing brides that must have been beloved family or friends shows her respect for marriage & family, which all leaves me wondering why these things weren’t passed down to those she loved, her sacred wedding gown & veil, too. Fantastic exploration of what seems to be an exceptional woman.♥️

    • @JeremyXplores
      @JeremyXplores  Рік тому +158

      The presence of dust in abandoned places is actually more complex than you might think. Most people believe abandoned places should be thick with dust, but that's actually a misconception. Dust in homes primarily comes from human activity - dead skin cells, textile fibers from clothing or upholstery, pet dander, constant air circulation through HVAC systems, the list goes on… but In an abandoned building where there's no activity or air circulation, these common sources of dust simply don't exist. So, while you might find dirt, decay, water, or even mold, you won't necessarily find a layer of dust on everything.
      Also, dust accumulation depends on the specific location, environmental factors, and how securely sealed the building is. Isn't that interesting? It's just another example of how every abandoned place has its unique story to tell.

Such a mix of Victorian, Mid-Century Modern, Mission, Art Deco and so on leads me to believe that Alice was a lady with impeccable taste and bought exactly what she liked. I could cry to think that all of these items that were so thoughtfully purchased, arranged and accessorized by Alice are now in the first stages of decay. They are not beyond saving at this point and it boggles the mind that it all just sits there. Thanks for the tour!

Someone has been there to sweep up the broken glass and nail boards where the doors once were. How do they even know someone has broken in? I can't believe that her loved ones would let someone's lifetime momentos just degrade and be so callously discarded. If her family can't be bothered than I think the community, to which she devoted her life teaching, ought to step in and give her memory the respect it deserves.

Don't remember when 'Alice' passed, but for this, and other videos where you ask why the family has not claimed items--1-Maybe there was no will bc Alice had not done estate planning yet. If she took care of herself like she did the house, then maybe she was expecting to live a lot longer than she did, and that her final demise was unexpected. 2-Maybe the whole estate has been tied up in probate court. 3-Maybe the daughter has passed also, further complicating estate distribution.

    There are parts of me that really don’t want you to touch or disturb anything. At the same time, it’s bringing back so many memories of my childhood while visiting my grandma. The house looks so inviting and looks like it was filled with so much love. I can imagine Sunday dinners with extended family with all of that seating. Great video and thanks for tugging at the heart strings

    As a 68 year old mother of two sons, this is the saddest and most depressing video. To know that the items I have treasured will have no value to others when I am gone, breaks my heart. For with each item I treasure, there is a most precious memory attached. While I think you were so sensitive and respectful, to go through this lady’s home and belongings to me was not a good thing. I could picture you going through my own home and belongings at the same time. Just my feelings at this stage in life.

      It's sad, but as an older person myself I have started downsizing possessions. It is true that some things people simply won't want. If anyone expresses admiration of something and I'm ready to let it go, I give it to them. Some special pieces can be willed to the people who will appreciate them. Some things I have collected I have started to sell, so those items are getting "good homes" and I'm getting some fun money for travel or new experiences.

    I am new to your channel, I appreciate the level of respect and maturity in your adventure here. It was very emotional yet amazing to me on how well preserved everything was. It is indeed a wonder to me on why homes like this are left with everything behind. You presented this in such a way that grabbed my attention and interest. Most videos by others who do what you do are just silly and obnoxious in their narration, often using terms like "outdated" or "obsolete" without understanding what those words actually mean. When you go through an abandoned home like this one your naturally going to find things that are no longer around or obviously much older in appearance. I liked the soft music in the background to which added a level of respect to this property. And kudos to you for respecting the identities of these people, most don't do that which I find distasteful. My name is Erick, and it is a pleasure to discover your findings in these places. Thank you for sharing, I look forward to seeing more.

      Hey Erick, I'm really pleased that you've joined our community and found value in the way I approach these explorations. Your point about other channels sometimes missing the emotional and historical depth is spot on. It's so important to me that the stories of these places are told with respect and integrity. Every object, every room has a story that is a part of someone's life, and it's a privilege to be able to bring those stories to light.
      I'm glad the background music and my narration struck the right chord with you. It's a delicate balance to maintain that level of respect while still providing an engaging and informative experience. I appreciate you recognizing the effort to protect the identities of the people involved; their privacy is of the utmost importance in these delicate situations.
      Thank you for your warm and thoughtful comment, Erick. I'm excited to share more explorations and stories with you in future videos. Safe travels! 🏍️🎥🗺️

    This has me in tears. Both of my parents are gone. They lived into their 90’s and their home was decorated in the same style. Their bedroom set was very similar. Having to go through all their things isn’t easy, so many memories. Elderly people tend to not throw things away, like the 4 coffee makers. Beautiful antiques. My son owns their home now. He’s made changes but going there always feels like going home. That cabinet that folds out is a secretary.

      I'm truly touched by your comment, and it resonates deeply with me as well. Losing a parent is an incredibly profound experience, something I've been grappling with since my dad passed away earlier this year. The act of going through his belongings was almost like walking through a timeline of his life, a deeply emotional and overwhelming task. It's as if each item you touch is infused with both the presence and absence of the person you've lost. I remember crying and hugging some of the items as if it were him.
      It's heartwarming to hear that your son has kept the essence of your parents' home alive. Those walls contain generations of memories and it's wonderful that they're being honored. And thank you for the correction on the secretary cabinet; it's always good to be accurate about these things.
      Your comment reminded me that while we explore these abandoned places, we're also delving into stories that have touched lives in very real ways, much like our own personal histories. Thank you for being part of this journey and for allowing this video to touch your heart. 🙏❤️
