These people had something to do with the university of Indiana. I googled a name I saw on something in the bedroom closet. I believe the owner died in 2002
I just have to say.... It must take an ENORMOUS amount of self-control and restraint to explore places such as these, which have CLEARLY been abandoned for years, without taking any "souvenirs" with you upon leaving. I've always found that particular aspect of the UrbEx community to be quite admirable. 👍🏻
@@StringerMedia my aunt knew the owners they were very abusive to the kids they locked one child in the room downstairs the man was abusive to his wife but the house was given to the family by the owners parents the dads mom and dad actually lived there with them until they passed away my aunt said the abusive man is in prison for life without possibility of parol due to the suspicious death of his wife and elderly mother and the daughter
@@StringerMedia no that one where you went through and found that Rolex at the blue house bro that was a Rolex and it was inscribed and they were knocking it down. You could’ve took anything you want so if you didn’t take that, and that Shriners plaque that you found I don’t know what to tell you, but if you did hell yeah😂 Sidenote, don’t say whether you did or not, it makes the story great 🤣 And we don’t want no legal issues Some people have a problem with what you do I think most people think it’s awesome because they can vicariously live through you Keep on getting it brother 💯🤙🏻
@@StringerMediasome of the furniture I'm sure is worth some good money. Maybe not this house in particular but old furniture is good. I don't think it is considered stealing when it has been abandoned. It no longer had an owner.
There was so much to see in this house. Looked liked squatters have been there. I would love to take my time and go through that one . What a great find....
When did it go vacant? Grab the address, go to the county assessor online. You can look up tax records. Most state and local make them available to the public. You can see when taxes were last paid. Then find the owner. Check obituaries. (Marriage and death records are usually not available until a certain period depending on municipality) Court dockets are almost always available online.
Very sad. This lovely home has probably been home to several generations of a farm family and witnessed so many of happy memories. Most likely vandals and/or squatters ransacked the home and used the sink as an ashtray.
Being an Investor I see alot of great finds in old abandoned homes but this one gave me heart palpitations lol. Given the chance to obtain a property like this one I'd make it my personal home.. I love this place, it's a shame it was destroyed. I would love to know the story on the family.. you have great content but I'm nosey lol.. I want to know about the people who lived there and what happened.
There may have been a death of a child. As you were leaving the living room, it looked like a portrait with three kids. I would say the mattress on the floor belonged to either a squatter or an older child who wanted to stay on after the move. There was definite lack of maintenance either through neglect or disability. It takes a long time for a toilet to get that stained. You should open up drawers. That's where a lot of interesting stuff is often found.
One thing that goes through my mind every single time I watch these type of videos is how people put soooo much value on ‘STUFF’! It’s junk. You don’t take it with you. And most of the time, nobody wants it. Think about that when you go out to spend $$ on stuff to fill your home up with etc.😕 It’s truly completely transformed how I look at my stuff. It also saddens me when I see family pics/memorabilia laying around rotting. But this is what can happen when people pass away and perhaps they have no family or they do but they live out of state and don’t want to be bothered with cleaning all of that up. It’s a lot of work.
Anyone else find it odd they are building large warehouses All Over America and pretty much taking people's homes to do so? I cant help but imagine the hell families have gone though because of it.😪
I also watched others doing abandoned homes Illinois is another one looks like ppl just vanished whole houses that looked like ppl left in middle of a meal????
beill gates and the cc p have been buying up farmland all across this country for the last several years. It makes sense to me that prime land in the Midwest would make great places for them to start setting up their operations. Illinois being a corrupt state I am sure they are canary in the coal mine when it comes to how our country is being sold out from underneath us all.
That's a gorgeous house with great potential. That chandelier and built in shelves. Huge windows. Stairs leading up to open kitchen. Nice. Man i wish i can live there.
the bedroom with the number lock on the door handle creeped me out big time….then seeing beds removed and carpeting torn out, possibly some sort of crime/murder happened there? removed beds and carpeting because of blood stains possibly???? freaky
The Indiana Gieseke estate started strong!! But was ripped apart due to mental illnesses, long divorce battles, severe family/ child abuse, suspisous family deaths or murders and a history of substance addictions. That house is a horrific rabbit hole of despair!! Glad its been wiped of the Indiana land scape
I’ll be honest, that reminds me of when I was a kid and constantly being evicted. It definitely has the look of that situation. Or the haunting theory.
Same. I know what you mean. My mom was addicted to meth so we moved so much and lost so much. Everything was just left behind and never cleaned so I can see the side of a landlord and why companies are used in areas that are rough. I grew up in rough areas and conditions but never thought about it and made the best of it. My sisters and I were very close and growing, surviving and trying to make the best of it as we could when we would go months without food I mean 0 food anywhere and when my school figured it out since us girls kept our mouth shut because we were protecting our mom but the manipulation man was deep in my family with you speak no words on anything and my dad and his wife were also doing “legal” drugs now but with my dad and his family it was the addiction to beer and Jack Daniel’s 5th bottles only (2-3 a weekend Saturday night). I don’t regret my childhood or youth because it made me stronger in my skin but at the time I couldn’t see or feel that I felt like a tethered disaster therefore now as a mother myself I see what Not to To and how to be a different parent and go the other direction. I don’t hate my parents as I can see they had an addiction and my mom got off all drugs and alcohol when I was 20 or 21 abouts. I don’t know how because I had to separate from her and her side of the family for years to figure stuff out and my husband and I were expecting our first child and I had an extremely rough pregnancy and his job was a traveling job so I seen him 3 times my whole pregnancy so we both went through the thick of it.
Grab the brass fireplace sets( stokers, tongs, grabbers, shovel and rack) they are usually clean yellow brass. Some are just sheathed but still for free to 25-50 in scrap or posted online makes some cheddar
As is common, I'm sure developers bought the property for demolition, and the family took the money and items they wanted, and left behind all the other stuff figuring that when they bulldoze the house, all that stuff will go to the dump with it.
That food in the fridge in the basement was still decaying which tells me that it was only a few months earlier that the house was evicted or abandoned. That family left quick and was probably bullied out of their house.
You may have had a ghost/spirit girl around 19:12 and then shortly after that your flashlight went dead. Also, the portrait of the child with wings may have meant that someone lost a child in that family. One more final thing, the ceiling/walls were made of plaster in those days.
Looks like the last parent passed away and left a younger adult who was either flat broke or maybe mentally challenged. Looks like most of the larger valuable items have been sold off. Such a beautiful house to be left like that.
I understand not checking into the history of public spaces such as malls and government facilities because the reasons for their abandonment are somewhat self-evident. But I do not understand how you can explore these family homes without digging into the history and reasons for such beautiful homes to be abandoned. Obviously this one has been squatted in for a period of time, but it would be great to know more about these properties.
I really admire you and love your channel thank you so much for sharing your kindness your definitely appreciated ❤ love so kindly Melody aka the lostgirl
That was very intriging thanks for the showing, that must have been a grand home before all the disrepair. I's love to be able to do this. Maybe next time slow down a bit and less movement of the camera, it'as like a ride lol, anyways good work! Would have been nice to see more of the barn like structure at the end of the video. Sometimes you'll find an old barn find, an old vintage sports car or ? 😊. It's just like the Mother ship 🛸just came and picked up the family and left! One more thing! If I'm not mistaken🤨🤔 but just before your light went out, there was movement in the backroom, someone moving right to left, like trying to get out of the video😳
I propose a squatter lived in it after the family left. Backstory would go a long way with improving the experience. You can get a name, check public property records for example. Check dates on stuff in the house to see if you can estimate the last time someone lived there. Just ideas
GOOD FIND and lots of questions about WHAT HAPPENED ? The parts that are ERIE to me the carpet on the stairs being taken out and the BED in the MASTER also MISSING did people expire in BOTH of those places ? 😳 the plants in that bathroom were STILL flourishing above the bathtub ( I can’t imagine they were fake ) ~’how long has this place been vacant… did the walls and ceiling go into dilapidation b4 they vacated the premises …. WHERE are ANY of the people that were living there in what looks to be no less than a financially stable home environment ~ but besides ALL of that this was a VERY NICE HOME
Is it normal for a demolition company to strip out those things and to also to teardown parts of the ceiling to be sure it's okay to have the house demolished? At the end of the video, the creator said a demolition company was going there. Out of all the years, if it was abandoned and suddenly someone just show up like that, makes me think the damage to the ceiling, and carpets pulled out, has something to do with it?
It hadn't been that long since someone was in the house. There's a lot of pretty recent items in there. In the entry, there was all that ceiling damage yet no debris on the floor.
@@drw-007 There's stuff in that house far more recent than 2012. There's an Oculus Rift sitting there. That wasn't originally released until 2016. There's even more recent stuff in that mess as well. I wish explorers would focus on dated things like that or look at mail/magazines/documents that are clearly dated.
also look into food expiration dates especially if can find milk containers, that would have the dates on it, could easily indicate about what time of the year it was left abandoned.
Sadly, in actuality. Many of these people have been bought off and paid so exorbitantly that they just take the cash and get out because they have more then enough to start over with everything. Big money often makes people forget small things that many common folk find valuable.
I'm still in the first part of the video but to me it looks like the kids grew up and moved out, the parents were older and couldn't keep up with maintenance and eventually passed away. Either the estate got tied up in court or no one wanted it because of the repairs that needed to be done.
I think the cigarettes were from a squatter. I'm sure someone knew it was abandoned. Strange if it's been sitting there like that since 2002..….I would have thought it would be in worse shape. If it belonged to someone to do wit a university, where is the rest of his family. That was not a one person dwelling....strange indeed! I hope you do an update.
The selfie tripod says this house most likely wasn’t abandoned prior to 2010, as they didn’t really gain momentum until then - unless of course, it was left by someone else.
I'm curious to know have you ever posted a " exploring an abandoned insert building type here " and had the original owner/occupant or family members contact you?
I am sorry the family left or lost there home, but the city or county should keep the place clean. For example, they do not have go inside the house per say, but they could have covered the pool and kept the yard mowed or nice looking.
Omg Sm.. 👌🏻❤️❤️❤️ i have not seen this type of video on your channel i guess earlier.. This was huge, someone super rich.. thank you for the detailed information n house tour ❤.. But plse write what was the reason for them to leave just like that? Did you find out? For the first time i felt like let me clear all things nicely, arrange it n live 😊 don't know why.. i also thought that during the tour don't you get afraid of any ghostly activity etc? I'm you biggest fan.. anyone any home less person can use this fully 👌🏻 im very curious what is the story behind this house? Even if little info pls write... Keep exploring n stay well buddy ❤
My mind is racing to think this family vanished and left everything behind. No other family to claim the belongings? Definitely squatters ransacked the place, that’s where the cigarettes butts came from. My heart breaks thinking this family was killed in a sudden way and never returned home.
I think the original owner was an elderly widower(walker spotted) who smoked and on oxygen(copd) and they had their children and grandchildren living with them possibly taking care of them.(Bed downstairs for easy access) The house was certainly big enough. And eventually when they died their kids decided house was too big and all the different taxes that came along with it were too costly.(property taxes, inheritance taxes etc.. I'm sure they received some offers from whoever wanted the property and sold out. As for all the stuff left there they would be downsizing so that's why it was left behind. Thanks for the tour!
3:31 those little things on the shelf symbolize the lady that lived in that house the fact that the bed is gone from that room that means that she died there. They probably grabbed all of the super expensive stuff and the stuff that was important to them left the other stuff and then got into arguments over the place considering you said there was back-and-forth over the family and then it probably just got abandoned Unfortunately, when older people die and kids start arguing, life gets in the way and you end up forgetting about stuff and that just looks like stuff that they didn’t care about they got all the good stuff and left the rest unless you find something greater later But these videos are pretty cool
My guess by the walker and oxygen tank the person may have been older and passed away. The family may have not known what to do with it or it’s tied up in an estate.
Strange ! The wireless router seems really out of place and time for the house ! The router has 3 or 4 antennas which means it's not more than 5 years old. Someone squatting there used it. Can't imagine how they connected to the internet ??
The 1st thing when you walked in,I thought another person was with you; (a girl)? I swear I heard a voice, then again shortly after that; (like someone breathing that couldn't breathe well)? When batteries suddenly drain, thats often due to Spirits draining them for energy. I hope that wasn't a dead pet you smelled in the basement. 😔 I agree, this may have been an unattended death. If so, (her)? heartbroken family may have just taken whatever valuables there were, and left the rest. Its tough when sick or older people don't want to move into full time care or have ANYONE ( not even family), there to care for them (stubborn). That may have been what happened here & her family was far away, or super busy & couldn't get away to check on her.😔 great explore!
That last thing you picked up was a bipod for rifles at the end of the video. Also lots of signs of suspect substance abuse in the pRon room. Raw mat, camer ring aimed at bed, insulin needle caps.on the floor.
Yeah that what I was thinking the entire video. From the first 2 mins at the beginning. See sadly I spend the better part of 2 decades completely strung out. I was soo far gone it blows my mind how I'm still alive today and made it thru it all. I got a 5 million dollar inheritance, and every single dime every damn dollar was spend on my crippling drug addiction. Breaks my heart to see if his. As soon as he walked in I said wow this place looks in the exact state my house was thru my addiction. Brought back some depressing hurt memories. Especially the cigertte buts in the corners of the room and on the window seal.. the house I was in was only 500 squrae feet tho. It's makes me wonder just how deep this rabbit hole of addiction and abuse ran with in these walls, bc it's mind boggling the size this house. Every single room looks exactly to a T like my house. Well it looked like what the inside of my head looked like at the time... I'm just speculating here I don't know for sure but. It seems like a possible simpler situation. Seems like a member of the family passed and someone was left funds and possible property or maybe allowed to live there when other family members disappeared in a world of depression. Leaving a child behind with all that. Being so rich the child never learned how to care for anything around her. Always done for her. So when she was alone an addiction spiraled severely out of control. It's possible the child overdosed recently or something bad happened at the house possible od leading to someone being taken off to a detention facility thus leading a family member back to see the total disary and lack of humility and humanity could handle it and wanted it demolished. I have a similar story and that house just screams early child hood abandonedment. Breaks my fuckin heart. I'd like to know more tho.
If you're choosing to leave a house and contents behind, maybe people could be informed about the departure and allowed to come over and take what they want or maybe people from a church or service group could be invited over to take useable items. There has to be a way to prevent such waste, but at this particular house there's something odd; like a multi-generation family went away suddenly. Something seems wrong about this place, fascinating though it is. Also I'm curious about the age of the house: some of it looks to me like mid-century into the 1970's while other parts look much older. The staircase and the paneled doors have the look of the first half of the 20th century. I think we're seeing a house that has been renovated and that was maybe enlarge as well.
One of the commenters said that their aunt knew the people who owned the house, in reply to a comment left by @StarsForward, while likely not factual it makes the most sense of all the theories I've heard
U not trying to go find that reply, basically dude in the comments said the man of the house is doing life in prison for the mysterious deaths of his wife mother n daughter
this house was probably abandoned around February of this year, as there was a can of the Starry drink, which started production in January of this year
So the guy on this channel works 💪 for a demolition team? You should have disclosed that on your channel as that's the reason you get to go into a lot of these places! Seriously!
Im new to your channel and i live in North west indiana... so your videos are so interesting to me... but do you ever find stuff that you take? Im not meaning to steal but to take before it gets demolished and keep for their sake to hold on to a piece of their history?? If it were me id hope someone did that for my home would be cool... awesome video as always
I want to live in a modest house not large not open Something I can keep clean and not clutter This house is way to big for a small family And when your family leave you What do you do You sit alone and wonder why you have such a big grand house that’s full of emptiness That is so sad
How does everyone feel about taking things from abandoned places like this? Example like the shoes . Perfectly fine look brand new .. just sitting there . To end up later on in a landfill (I would assume). Sometimes I see places like this one it has so many reusable items. I personally think I would .
These videos would be much more interesting if you did an investigation and back story on the people who lived there. It feels incomplete not knowing.
I agree too- good idea!
I totally agree
Yes the story would make it better!
Some people don't know how to investigate
Agreed! The first question to answer is, “why”
These people had something to do with the university of Indiana. I googled a name I saw on something in the bedroom closet. I believe the owner died in 2002
I love googling things if we get names

I get some jobs where I can take whatever. Personally I don't believe any items are valuable anymore unless it's of great historical significance
I’d take that VR set for sure, but also recover & hold onto the war veteran stuff, in case the previous owners wanted it but just forgot all about it

Super sad. I’ve been seeing a lot of new barns like this coming up in rural Maryland and Virginia, so that’s promising!

Since it’s being demolished. I think you should post the address and location 🤔
It appears that valuables and family heirlooms were at least partially taken. That cabinet at around 4:50 was completely empty.
There's something inherently sad, creepy and haunting about abandoned places. Especially when so many things are left behind like family photos.
Also. Many old farmhouses were filled with old farmers and then they die. Careless family members ransack the places before looking fir valuables.

With all the homeless people roaming around. I'm surprised nobody has utilized what can be salvaged or bartered.
If you're going to abandon, why not let a charity see if they can repurpose things for those in need? Absolutely wasteful! 😢

The parts that are ERIE to me the carpet on the stairs being taken out and the BED in the MASTER also MISSING did people expire in BOTH of those places ? 😳 the plants in that bathroom were STILL flourishing above the bathtub ( I can’t imagine they were fake ) ~’how long has this place been vacant… did the walls and ceiling go into dilapidation b4 they vacated the premises …. WHERE are ANY of the people that were living there in what looks to be no less than a financially stable home environment ~ but besides ALL of that this was a VERY NICE HOME
Is it normal for a demolition company to strip out those things and to also to teardown parts of the ceiling to be sure it's okay to have the house demolished? At the end of the video, the creator said a demolition company was going there. Out of all the years, if it was abandoned and suddenly someone just show up like that, makes me think the damage to the ceiling, and carpets pulled out, has something to do with it?
It hadn't been that long since someone was in the house. There's a lot of pretty recent items in there. In the entry, there was all that ceiling damage yet no debris on the floor.
My guess around 2008-2012 during the housing crash.
@@drw-007 There's stuff in that house far more recent than 2012. There's an Oculus Rift sitting there. That wasn't originally released until 2016. There's even more recent stuff in that mess as well. I wish explorers would focus on dated things like that or look at mail/magazines/documents that are clearly dated.
Yeah I noticed the Amazon Prime cartons.
also look into food expiration dates especially if can find milk containers, that would have the dates on it, could easily indicate about what time of the year it was left abandoned.
That’s true
Sadly, in actuality. Many of these people have been bought off and paid so exorbitantly that they just take the cash and get out because they have more then enough to start over with everything. Big money often makes people forget small things that many common folk find valuable.
Or whoever inherited the house cannot afford it nor can they afford to have unwanted items away. I’ve seen that as well.
I'm still in the first part of the video but to me it looks like the kids grew up and moved out, the parents were older and couldn't keep up with maintenance and eventually passed away. Either the estate got tied up in court or no one wanted it because of the repairs that needed to be done.
Nice Skim Board. Brings back memories.
You are SO brave going there alone and especially the basement! I would have ran after my torch failed 😳😰❤️
19:12 there is a shadow child stalking him. The the light goes out. Check it out. Creepy
I think the cigarettes were from a squatter. I'm sure someone knew it was abandoned. Strange if it's been sitting there like that since 2002..….I would have thought it would be in worse shape. If it belonged to someone to do wit a university, where is the rest of his family. That was not a one person dwelling....strange indeed! I hope you do an update.
The selfie tripod says this house most likely wasn’t abandoned prior to 2010, as they didn’t really gain momentum until then - unless of course, it was left by someone else.
yeah, mostly likely got the cash from the computer save me tin, was prbably them in the bathroom and appeared a hair trim
your videos are so underrated, I love this concept sm ,
What a shame all that’s left will end up in a landfill.. what a beautiful home
I'm curious to know have you ever posted a " exploring an abandoned insert building type here " and had the original owner/occupant or family members contact you?
Quite a bit!
@@StringerMedia兄弟感觉Thⅰs废弃宅的主人一家应该是被残殺了
I am sorry the family left or lost there home, but the city or county should keep the place clean. For example, they do not have go inside the house per say, but they could have covered the pool and kept the yard mowed or nice looking.
Looks like someone had one hell of a party 🎉
Would be cool if we were told where the house it located. I like using the gogl thing and checking out the area
5:10 that bookshelf has hinges on the left...secret door?
Do you do any background search at all? This just another old house without information
Would be cool if we were told where the house it located. I like using the gogl thing and checking out the area
Do the people whose homes you go into ever contact you? Just curious!
Yes a lot
Looks like almost every door had a crystal door knob... all those doors and windows are amazing and could be salvaged!
it's not the owners. it was squatters who left the weird things like all the cigurette buts and the cat poop.
Omg Sm.. 👌🏻❤️❤️❤️ i have not seen this type of video on your channel i guess earlier.. This was huge, someone super rich.. thank you for the detailed information n house tour ❤.. But plse write what was the reason for them to leave just like that? Did you find out? For the first time i felt like let me clear all things nicely, arrange it n live 😊 don't know why.. i also thought that during the tour don't you get afraid of any ghostly activity etc? I'm you biggest fan.. anyone any home less person can use this fully 👌🏻 im very curious what is the story behind this house? Even if little info pls write... Keep exploring n stay well buddy ❤
2:55 it also looks like someone was cooking some. Kind of droogs or something!
This house is a very nice house, it needs to be restored instead of destroyed. Think you for showing this house.
That’s so crazy how people can pick up and leave everything behind, but such a good video.
People were clearly squatting in that house. CLEARLY
Ehhh. Maybe not, looks like sever substance addiction to me. Js
My mind is racing to think this family vanished and left everything behind. No other family to claim the belongings?
Definitely squatters ransacked the place, that’s where the cigarettes butts came from. My heart breaks thinking this family was killed in a sudden way and never returned home.
I think the original owner was an elderly widower(walker spotted) who smoked and on oxygen(copd) and they had their children and grandchildren living with them possibly taking care of them.(Bed downstairs for easy access) The house was certainly big enough. And eventually when they died their kids decided house was too big and all the different taxes that came along with it were too costly.(property taxes, inheritance taxes etc.. I'm sure they received some offers from whoever wanted the property and sold out. As for all the stuff left there they would be downsizing so that's why it was left behind. Thanks for the tour!
Great explore! Shame that house was abandoned.
3:31 those little things on the shelf symbolize the lady that lived in that house the fact that the bed is gone from that room that means that she died there. They probably grabbed all of the super expensive stuff and the stuff that was important to them left the other stuff and then got into arguments over the place considering you said there was back-and-forth over the family and then it probably just got abandoned
Unfortunately, when older people die and kids start arguing, life gets in the way and you end up forgetting about stuff
and that just looks like stuff that they didn’t care about
they got all the good stuff and left the rest
unless you find something greater later
But these videos are pretty cool
Great video-so much stuff!
My guess by the walker and oxygen tank the person may have been older and passed away. The family may have not known what to do with it or it’s tied up in an estate.
I would love this house.
Hey stinger brother. You need to review your footage my good pal. There is a shadow entity at 19:12 that was straight up stalking you.
I saw it too in the doorway
Strange ! The wireless router seems really out of place and time for the house ! The router has 3 or 4 antennas which means it's not more than 5 years old. Someone squatting there used it. Can't imagine how they connected to the internet ??
Did the demolition company tear down the house with everything still inside?
The 1st thing when you walked in,I thought another person was with you; (a girl)? I swear I heard a voice, then again shortly after that; (like someone breathing that couldn't breathe well)? When batteries suddenly drain, thats often due to Spirits draining them for energy. I hope that wasn't a dead pet you smelled in the basement. 😔 I agree, this may have been an unattended death. If so, (her)? heartbroken family may have just taken whatever valuables there were, and left the rest. Its tough when sick or older people don't want to move into full time care or have ANYONE ( not even family), there to care for them (stubborn). That may have been what happened here & her family was far away, or super busy & couldn't get away to check on her.😔 great explore!
Great exploration!!
That last thing you picked up was a bipod for rifles at the end of the video. Also lots of signs of suspect substance abuse in the pRon room. Raw mat, camer ring aimed at bed, insulin needle caps.on the floor.
Yeah that what I was thinking the entire video. From the first 2 mins at the beginning. See sadly I spend the better part of 2 decades completely strung out. I was soo far gone it blows my mind how I'm still alive today and made it thru it all. I got a 5 million dollar inheritance, and every single dime every damn dollar was spend on my crippling drug addiction. Breaks my heart to see if his. As soon as he walked in I said wow this place looks in the exact state my house was thru my addiction. Brought back some depressing hurt memories. Especially the cigertte buts in the corners of the room and on the window seal.. the house I was in was only 500 squrae feet tho. It's makes me wonder just how deep this rabbit hole of addiction and abuse ran with in these walls, bc it's mind boggling the size this house. Every single room looks exactly to a T like my house. Well it looked like what the inside of my head looked like at the time... I'm just speculating here I don't know for sure but. It seems like a possible simpler situation. Seems like a member of the family passed and someone was left funds and possible property or maybe allowed to live there when other family members disappeared in a world of depression. Leaving a child behind with all that. Being so rich the child never learned how to care for anything around her. Always done for her. So when she was alone an addiction spiraled severely out of control. It's possible the child overdosed recently or something bad happened at the house possible od leading to someone being taken off to a detention facility thus leading a family member back to see the total disary and lack of humility and humanity could handle it and wanted it demolished. I have a similar story and that house just screams early child hood abandonedment. Breaks my fuckin heart. I'd like to know more tho.
If you're choosing to leave a house and contents behind, maybe people could be informed about the departure and allowed to come over and take what they want or maybe people from a church or service group could be invited over to take useable items. There has to be a way to prevent such waste, but at this particular house there's something odd; like a multi-generation family went away suddenly. Something seems wrong about this place, fascinating though it is.
Also I'm curious about the age of the house: some of it looks to me like mid-century into the 1970's while other parts look much older. The staircase and the paneled doors have the look of the first half of the 20th century. I think we're seeing a house that has been renovated and that was maybe enlarge as well.
One of the commenters said that their aunt knew the people who owned the house, in reply to a comment left by @StarsForward, while likely not factual it makes the most sense of all the theories I've heard
You should check it out
U not trying to go find that reply, basically dude in the comments said the man of the house is doing life in prison for the mysterious deaths of his wife mother n daughter
Totally insane the amount of stuff left behind.
How do you find all these places? It’s fascinating and sad that people have to abandon everything they worked hard to accumulate. 😢
This exploration WAS SO INTERESTING….. and I was hoping you found out MORE INFORMATION pertaining to this house and it’s inhabitants
I don't know why, but it's just very eerie when all that stuff gets left behind. Like what was their rush on leaving?
19:52 the flashlight that deep in the basement would freak me the f out!
Did I hear right, at end some one from demolition company was there? Yes, yes, so much left wonder where they went..
Forget the grand piano, what size is that Adidas Grand Court and find the mate.
this house was probably abandoned around February of this year, as there was a can of the Starry drink, which started production in January of this year
What town is this in?
So the guy on this channel works 💪 for a demolition team? You should have disclosed that on your channel as that's the reason you get to go into a lot of these places! Seriously!
Im new to your channel and i live in North west indiana... so your videos are so interesting to me... but do you ever find stuff that you take? Im not meaning to steal but to take before it gets demolished and keep for their sake to hold on to a piece of their history?? If it were me id hope someone did that for my home would be cool... awesome video as always
The Vlife item you tossed is a rifle bipod.🤠👍
I would have picked up the change laying around, for sure!
Carpet missing means possible blood stains and evidence, mattress missing evidence.....
I want to live in a modest house not large not open
Something I can keep clean and not clutter
This house is way to big for a small family
And when your family leave you
What do you do
You sit alone and wonder why you have such a big grand house that’s full of emptiness
That is so sad
14:00 the empty jugs, the cigarettes and the phone. Bro that's a squatter's spot.
Nope it’s how they lived, sadly!
How does everyone feel about taking things from abandoned places like this? Example like the shoes . Perfectly fine look brand new .. just sitting there . To end up later on in a landfill (I would assume). Sometimes I see places like this one it has so many reusable items. I personally think I would .
It hurts my heart to see they family photographs just left there.
What phone was it in the girls room? Just trying to get a timeline of occupation.
