Merry Christmas @Urbex Hill! Hope you had a great one!
We love you too. 😍
Merry christmas chris 😃hope you and you're family have had a fantastic day 🙂❤
Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you for all your exploring into the abandoned unknown, I appreciate what you appreciate and I will always be a supporter...
That letter really makes you think, we'll all be forgotten eventually. Someone told me that you die three times, you die, the last member of your family dies and then the last person who knows your name dies.
That letter broke my heart as I lost my daughter in 2015 from cancer. She was 31.
Omg im so sorry 😞 ❤
Sending peace, love, and healing your way. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
@@scottishhippie9652 Thank you
That's very rough
Hope I don't have to go through that. No mother should have to bury her daughter and no father should have to bury his son.
Am kind of late but anyway not to being the mood down but does that mean you are over 65years old on UA-cam?
Sorry if you got offended by that but I just wanted to know😅
I'm actually crying. I hope that lady and her mother reunited in heaven and are happy.
24 years old and on their deathbed, the same age as me, who just recently brought a son of my own into this world. Things like that really make you count your blessings- as few as you may think there are. I hope they're resting peacefully now.
It really does make you appreciate your life! It was heartbreaking to read.
Thank you for watching!
Happy new year 🎉 ✨️
I’m 25 and really haven’t gotten my life started at all and just seeing this is devastating. How much time I’ve wasted on my addictions and I could be on my death bed tomorrow, or if I was supposed to die at 24 I’d beg for another year of my life for a chance to live it out as best as I can. Fuck what is wrong with me…
@@seb1520anything negative comes from fear. Anything positive comes from love. So whatevers holding u back it's root cause is fear.
There's a strange kind of sadness in knowing that some deeply personal items like the letter and those old photos are tucked away in some dusty, lonely corner of a building that will in all likelihood be demolished, and the remnants of all the memories held there will be swept away. But thanks to your efforts, maybe they won't truly be gone.
Yeah that is sad, just imagine all the abandoned houses that have similar letters and items left behind 😢
Thanks !!!
Happy new year 🎉 ✨️
This church should be on the national historic sites registry, and become a museum and working place of worship
That letter made me think of my mom when she died, she was only 42 and I was 9. I wonder if she had that same conversation with her mom. Thank you for reading it, you did a beautiful job.❤️
Wow thats sad 😔 im sorry that happened Emily ❤️
Thank you so much
same here
You my friend are set apart from URBEX explorers. You are real, compassionate, honest and so much more. Thank you 🙏
If only Mary would know that the letter she wrote would come full circle 73 years later with it having an impact on people from all over the world who would only come to know of it from our digital age that she could only fathom about.
I can see why that letter is still here to this day. It's too beautiful and meaningful to destroy or throw away. It resides with everyone 😢 ❤
I have to say...you reading that letter, today, for me, was important to hear. Thank you for taking the time to read that letter...and having such a respectful & beautiful way of doing so.
I feel like alot of people need to hear that. For me, that struck several chords...I needed to hear that today.
Thank you.
❤️ Its was pretty emotional.
Thank you so much.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday
@@URBEXHILL Thank you for the reply!Brought a smile to my face. Thanks for taking the time to respond. That is very kind & brightened my day. Have a wonderful holiday as well! ☺️
Greetings from Ukraine. This episode has broken my heart. That Letter was so touchful and this abandoned place, where was life once, where spoked peopke, studied etc....oh..
Long Live URBEX HILL CHANNEL!!!
Being alienated from society... It made me tear when I 'listen' to the letter being read. The deceased was so fortunate to have such a loving mom. The reluctant departure instilled deep feelings 😭
Aww I'm sorry you're alone 😔
I'm also here in the comments if you want to talk.
It's very sad.
Happy new year ❤
You're not alone💙
It's heartbreaking to see buildings that were such an important part of history falling apart, but I love that you can look past that and still see the beauty that's there. I really liked this one! Merry Christmas
Yeah its sad.
Thank you so much!
Merry Christmas
Congrats on last video being #1 on Sir Spooks and Nukes top 5!!
@@URBEXHILL
damn this is in Ohio, didn't that location just get hit by one hell of a storm, are you ok dude?
@@URBEXHILL
maybe the reason why the books were left here was to preserve them, i mean how long was this building empty?
but yeah, it's kept a lot of these things in a sort of time capsule because nobody has been in this church for so long.
You don’t know what heart break is
I haven’t cried in response to any of your videos until I saw this one. 💔 there is so much history, so many memories, that is going to die with that church. It is truly sad.
Wow that's a great letter 😢😢 and you don't hear people thanking their parents like they did back then and I really appreciate your great videos and enjoy your special little bit of dedication you put in the video making it that more important and more inspiring, thank you so very much Chris 🤗🤗🤗🤗 and God bless please protect Chris as he goes to next visit or next video Amen 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow this one hurt. That letter waited 73 years for you to find it... And just imagine, she was probably stricken with a disease that would be easily curable these days. Thanks again Chris, worth every dime. Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎉 🤝
Right man that's crazy! When I read the letter I'm ngl I felt more appreciative of my life.
Merry Christmas bro!!
most humans still die from easily preventable stuff. we purposefully restrict peoples access to life saving resources because we can charge them to death for everything that way. if you arent wealthy, well too bad, you get to die from something really dumb really early in your life lol
-That picture of Jesus is made for a old 3D viewfinder.
-The book “Die Kommenden Wunder” in English means The Miracles To Come
The picture is called a Stereograph, and it is viewed by using a Stereoscope, I bought one with about 200 stereograph pictures at an old estate sale a few years ago. They were popular in the 1800s, I would have saved that picture for sure.😃
That letter made me cry!! Poor Young lady!! RIP Mary!!
Hi urbex
Im here cuz of caspersight !!!
You got my sub !!!
Rambo it mate !!!
I always come back for the wisdom of words the letter has
The way you read that letter was something else. It truly brought tears to my eyes as I lay in my bed alone. I’ve been going though something and this made me realize how important the little things are and how we should cherish those little moments with love ones.
Dear friend Urbex Hill, I saw the Portuguese translation of the letter narrated on UA-cam called "Arquivo Obscuro" here in Brazil. It's heartbreaking and moving. It makes us think about valuing our life until the last moment. I don't know if the letter has a date, but I hope mother and daughter are happy in divine paradise. Thanks.🇧🇷

LOVE YOUR STUFF!! I have a Master's in Archival History; you really need to contact local museums/archives and let them know about all these historical items you found. Those books and letters have immense historical value.
Yeah I'm sure they do but who could I contact to let know that those are there
@@URBEXHILL honestly, I would start with your county archives. Each county has their own local government, which includes archives. Literally google your county archives and find some contact info. Anyone working at that archive would be able to point you in the right direction on how to handle those items. They can also direct you to nearby museums or universities..
@@URBEXHILL please update us if do contact someone! It would be interesting to know what happens to the items.
The local Historic Society in the area would be able to help 🤗 Just a thought.
Love your content, just joined your channel .
Much Love & Support from South Nashville,TN
@@URBEXHILL the areas Historic Society 🤗
That stained glass window is breath taking. 💖
Truly
Great video. As a fellow cleveland resident, I always check out your videos. I especially appreciate how you always handle your explorations respectfully and don't rely on exaggerated theatrics or click bait. Just honest narration. Cheers to you man!
This was so sad in so many ways. History just left. The letter was heartbreaking. I love the way you take the time to really look and think about each place, each thing you find. Just remember you have many Internet mamas that want you to be safe!
OMG that letter,,😭, I wish there was more info on the letter you could maybe find the family and give it to them ,
Definitely! I would love to give it to the family
Chris, I love your humanity and caring. You just come through as an honest, genuinely good man. Thanks for sharing what you do. I believe you are helping Cleveland with what you do.
That letter is absolutely touching. Bruh You really are special. I have watched all your videos and the level of compassion and empathy and bravery you show when exploring is rare. May God continue to bless and protect you. 🤙🏿
Wow thanks for that I truly appreciate that 💯!!!!!!!!!
God bless you 🙏🏿
Happy new year 🎉 ✨️
Love your channel. Be sure you spiritually clean yourself afterwards 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you, I am
such a sad letter almost brought me to tears thanks URBEX HILL for another creepy explore
It broke my heart reading it 💔 thanks for watching
So sad to see beautiful buildings been abandoned. The letter brought me tears. The big bible, I think it should be saved and brought to a museum or archives. Hank you for sharing merry Christmas.🎄🥰
It broke my heart reading it.
I went back and salvaged it.
Thanks.
Happy new year 🎉 ✨️
That stuff is all historical it's precious 😢
It's sad, her mom never got that letter. :(
I really enjoy your vids - not only the terrifying spooky stuff, but these ones where you just EXPLORE old interesting things and give us history. I am so sick of fake, over the top, noisey, chaotic explorer videos from other you tubers. You are easy to listen to, your content is actually genuinely fascinating, suspenseful and creepy too! I find myself just as scared when you are walking through dark hallways as when you actually do see creepy things! I am on edge the entire time. Love it!
That letter is absolutely heart breaking. Still it shows strength, and determination and spiritualism.
You deserve a million subs.
……….Absolutely 💯 right on that!
I remember as a kid. We had the Encyclopedia Britannica, which was basically how i would find information on pretty anything something like google is today. They are still in great shape.They should be put in a museum.
Thank you for treating everything with such insight and respect. I think this exploration is one of your best ever!
Thanks! Happy new year
That letter got me. Thank you, Christopher, for your work. Documenting these historic buildings, the events that took place there, and even glimpses into the people. ❤️🙏🏻
You're very welcome!
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
Happy new year 🎉 ✨️
Can you imagine remodeling that court for some underground type shitt Games lmfao
Also that Stain Glass is absolutely Stunning 🤩
Legit would be raw af
I would love to sit in there a look at all those books. And that letter had me bawling. Hopefully they are all reunited up in Heaven by now. I’ll never understand how people just walk away and never take history with them,instead they just let it rot.
What a great Christmas present Chris. Happy to see you again. Don't stay gone so long. I'm surprised there were no spirits of people that loved that place. Maybe you should go after dark.
Or something darker taking residence in this church because of it being forgotten and left to Rot
Helpful hint: when walking on bad stairs, stay to the edges where the tread meets the stringers. Least likely to give way.
what a beautiful church so sad its been left to rot like that. Happy Christmas and a very happy new year from Manchester England 🧡🧡
Very sad.
Merry Christmas!
@ 11:53 That letter was truly Heartbreaking!...A young woman was stricken with a life threatening Illness it seems and at such a young age..24 years😭, and took time on her deathbed to Thank the woman who gave her life, who gave her special memories to keep for all eternity.....Her Mother ((Tears)) R.I.P Mary ....My dad used to say "Live each day as much as possible, because NO one's tomorrow is ever promised"...Mary's Funeral was most likely held in that Church, in 1949. Her letter should be Laminated and Preserved along with Photos of this place, as an imprint of time. Well done Time Traveler...This was an excellent exploration.
Yes thats really sad and that's most likely what's happened. Thank you so much Darlene
Merry Christmas! I think you should know you have the best instincts of any Urbex guy around. So glad you don't take unnecessary risks just for footage. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man!
Merry Christmas
Lol what? But he kinda does you must have not seen all his videos. Big risk he's taking in many of them
@@royfokerpoker1802 meh nowhere close to some, he sees a sinking floor he doesnt try to tip-toe across or go to the outer sides to go through like alot of them do. But yeah just being in some places with who knows how much asbestos, molds etc in the air can be considered risly enough even if the floors/ceilings are in ok condition
An absolutely incredible explore & I THANKU CHRIS! SO well done, in every aspect! Just AMAZING!
Thanks you so much 💓
Chris, Merry Christmas! I do appreciate you and your bravery. You are always respectful of the places you explore. Thanks for loving what you do! Best, Megan
Thanks ! Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas 🎄 Thank you for all you have done for Us to keep Bringing Us NOTHING but the best in 2022 I can't wait to See What you Have For Us in 2023 🤗 Much love ❤️ from San Antonio Texas 🥰❤️❤️❤️
I truly appreciate that! I will continue to bring nothing but the best!!!
Merry Christmas
@@URBEXHILL Thank you So much ❤️ God bless you ALWAYS 🙏 On Your Adventures 😇
32:25 that harness is for carrying a flag in a parade. Those stained glass windows are worth a fortune and would be worth salvaging...I can't believe how much the church has disintegrated in just a year. So sad to see it falling apart.
The letter was terribly sad, but I wonder why it's there and not in the possession of the mother it was written to?
Thank you for taking us back for a return visit.
Thanks for pointing that out I didn't know that.
Yeah its crazy.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching
Merry Christmas Chris!!! I love when you say “that’s Cleveland” with all the sirens, I live in Cleveland and understand exactly what you mean. Keep up all the great work❤❤❤
Hey Urbex, thanks for your beautiful video! By the way, the german book says:
The Miracles To Come
Of The
Last Seven Years
Or
The Literal Fulfillment Of Revelation John
As Well As
The Prophecies By The Prophets
Between 1867 And 1875
The last line says: "With 18 big illustrations"
Merry Christmas to you, your family and all the community, greetings from Germany :)
Thank you so much for the translation! I found out the book is 200 dollars used online.
Happy new year ❤️💖
@@URBEXHILL Wow, this truly is amazing! Such a shame it has been forgotten and just left behind to rot when it has such value..
Happy new year to you, your family and all the viewers of your channel! Wish you all the best :)
All I can saw Christopher is beautiful, absolutely beautiful!!❤
❤️❤️❤️
New here, ol lady an my self have seen you appear in videos so I came to the source.
We love your work m8
Thank you
What a beautiful Church. What a shame it’s been abandoned. With its history, it should have been deemed Historical. Here in Canada 🇨🇦 Historical buildings have to be kept to it’s integrity, not left abandoned. The City would have to make sure it’s well kept!! Those Bibles are so amazing, can’t believe they were left behind, sad so very sad😢😢. Merry Christmas 🎄 stay safe and healthy too! 😊🎄🎅🤶🎁
Yeah its very sad 😔
Merry Christmas
Glad I found this channel. I wish I would have found it sooner, but here I am now watching watching all your videos. Please keep going, but stay safe!
Hi thankyou for taking us through that old church it had some nice lights etc in aye, shame to see the building go to rouines
Hey Chris, That letter was very touching by that young girl. You reading it aloud and adding the video effects was brilliant. Thank you for another amazing explore. 👍😊
Thanks you so much Chrissy!!
You where meant to find that letter and give it life with your voice for us to hear.
Because of that Mary Miller will never be forgotten. You should feel very honoured that Mary choose you to find it. With your compassion and respect that you show with everything you find, Mary chose the perfect one to read her letter to us. RIP Dear Mary Miller.
I had an experience in a very old and abandoned cemetery heavily overgrown. Something stopped me and I looked behind overgrowth to see a headstone and it was a Mary as well. That day I found her was her birthday although about 150 years ago. And she was young. Standing there I felt sad she is forgotten and I wished her Happy Birthday. As long as I live she will be remembered and she chose me to do that.
I think you should rename this to 'The letter of Mary Miller'
13:00- the 1949 letter from Mary 😢😢😢: 14:41- the large Bible is regrettably irreversibly damaged as the binding is completely destroyed and hinges destroyed front cover is torn off some of those 1890
titles are written by scholars and quite valuable I wish I was there with you . The world book encyclopedias are for beginners but perfect for a school or public housing library.
5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
This video is Amazing, well done!
I hope you know that you have great talent. The way you record the video, presentation, tell the story.. your gentle voice, and classy nature, etc. I look forward to, and appreciate your work.
I could've spent hours going through those books, and that letter.. they are history, and deserve a place to be displayed in a local museum, possibly. I hope you inquire about it.. wouldn't hurt to see if anyone would be interested.
Thanks for all you share with us!
Merry Christmas! ❤
Your videos are both chilling and amazing as usual
Salute from Algeria 🇩🇿
Thank you 🙌
Hell yeah! Great videos as always. I always think to myself why churches are been abandoned like this shouldn’t God be behind them. Theirs only one religion that he approves is the one everyone is going to reject,but it’s going reflect his wonders everywhere y’all go.😎👍
Thank u Chris Merriest Christmas. 🕊🌲🕊
Great vlog.
First off that letter brought me to tears. I can't even think about it because the emotions are so hard core and that was the year my mom was born. Also those books are masterpieces. Imagine the true history in those books. That's a treasure trove!
33:28 sounded like a voice said something when you said "you can feel the floor bending"
Geez those monitors, I hate to say, I remember them, the thing next to the monitor is a screen protector. Everyone used them to protect their eyes from the rays of the screen.
Happy New Year!!! 🥰
Yeah it made me sad too 😞
Couldn't imagine laying in a hospital knowing I'm gonna die soon at that age truly heartbreaking.
The book the letter was found in is price at 200 dollars so yeah their definitely historic.
Happy new years!
Hey Chris... Just wanted ton let you know, when your in these old places, and the stairs are worn out, try not to step in the center of the steps, step towards the wall side more! There is no support in the center just on either side! Great video though very sad! Yes the letter, but also the history and how it has gone into such ruins! I can imagine it's beauty in it's younger year's!! Stay safe!👍
Heartbreaking letter 😭
You're becoming the greatest urban explorer ever!
He already is the best
Wow, thank you!
Stunned that place doesn’t seem to have squatters.
It's in to bad of shape for squatters
That is such a shame to see that beautiful building in such despair and all those bibles. That letter made me want to cry.
Great videography, especially the one-shot pan from the text to the window. Glad you made it without falling through the floor! Happy holidays!
When u get it, u get it and I appreciate that u get it.
Merry Christmas and a great new year.
Waiting for new videos.
Merry Christmas
there's a Huge Methodist Church in Pomona Calif that has been abandoned for yrs. It's not far from the abandoned YMCA
I wish I could travel to explore that
Thanks cris I loved that church be safe and merry Christmas
The place is humongous. Beautiful stained glass windows that look to be intact. The letter that was so touching, eloquently read by yourself. Wonderful job. Thank you for the tour. Take care 🙂
Thank you so much for watching!
It was really sad reading that letter.
Happy new year 🎉 ✨️
In Buffalo fortunately the Islamic community has purchased many historic churches and re-purposed them as much needed community centers and outreach posts .
All those books should be in a library. I would love to thumb through some of those history books. For sure that is a fantastic find!
I went back, I kept the important ones
It's sad to see such a historically significant structure fall to ruin. Breaks my heart.
I would've taken one of those books with me though. You have to take some of that literature with you!!!! No one else is going to save it, so you save it!!! Some of those illustrations, artworks, they're valuable! Save them
What an amazing channel you have made, just discovered it a few days ago and have literally watched every video twice. Been sick with covid and now i may loose my job, thanks for keeping my mind straight.
Haven’t gotten to the letter yet but just want to say those are some dark scary looking hallways in that church!……ok that letter was very touching 😢
It's hard to comprehend how such architecturally beautiful and culturally significant buildings are left to ruin. If it is ultimately not renovated and torn down I hope at a minimum some of the contents, such as the books can be rescued and preserved. I also hope that whatever may take it's place - the proposed community center or a park - will commemorate the events that took place here. As always, your filming and editing is on point and just spectacular. BTW, the leather strap with the pouch is a belt for carrying flagpoles during ceremonies and parades.
Yeah its sad but it would cost millions to salvage this church at this point. Oh ok I didn't know that. Thanks man I appreciate that 💯
Happy new year 🎉 ✨️
Thank you for this video. This is a beautiful church. It's a shame someone can't renovate this and save those beautiful windows. The letter was heartbreaking. Happy New Year.
Thanks for watching. It would cost millions to save this church.
Happy new year 🎉
Hey there Chris I came to your channel through Sir Spooks and Nuke's recommendations and I just want to say that you are the the best urban explorer I seen it so far. You definitely deserves more subscribers.
Please keep up the good work and of course, always stay safe.
Salutations from Curitiba, Brazil.
Hey, thanks! I appreciate that
Die kommenden wunder means the coming wonder
Wow! I love how you dig into the history of the places you investigate! You’re awesome dude!
Thank you so much im glad you liked it!
Happy new year 🎉
Mary passed away a month later on June 25, 1949. She's buried in Woodland Cemetery in Cleveland.
You were surely meant to discover that letter, Chris. Thanks so much for sharing it. Stay safe and thank you for a wonderful year of explores!
I agree, it was fate.
Thanks for watching
Happy new year
You did that letter justice...It's sad to see it just remaining in a book in a dilapidated church, abandoned to the elements.
All those books, to see knowledge that was once such a precious commodity hundreds of years ago not even worth relocating. Going through those rooms, all those memories and experiences in each one, and the main auditorium...Truly sad to see such a beautiful building and all its accomplishments and accumulated energy go to waste.
Thanks I appreciate that!
It's really sad, all that history lost...
Fortunately it can live on through this video.
Happy new year 🎉 ✨️
Beautiful filming, editing and narration, thanks, Urbex!
I am also subscribed to the channel The Proper People, two guys who document abandoned buildings before they are demolished.
It's interesting how many places the owners have just left personal effects behind, like journals, photos, books, patient logs, etc.
Here in Denmark I think it is required by law to clear out your building, before leaving, but it seems that is not the case in the USA.
Yeah. My very very favorite channel
Yet. Merry Christmas Chris.
Merry Christmas 🥰
You should have over 100,000 subs easily. Excellent Channel. Please share channel people and get this young man over 100k
OMG...that letter hit me in the feels...wow.
Yeah me too
Absolutely love your will and care for your activity, work, and quality of presentation - the diligence and thoughtfulness shows through.
I hope we can all continue to enjoy your adventures - just remember to keep safe, even if you may go it alone (especially) ~
Cheers to whatever 2023 may bring us ~
Well you paid a wonderful tribute to this church.. How sad with such an amazing history that it is left to fall within itself.. When I lived in England it was amazing how we looked after things of historic value but now I'm in Turkey you can only imagine the history this place has and again they don't treasure its historic treasures like they should do and its heartbreaking it really is.. You did this place a beautiful justice with this video and I loved every second of it. Happy holidays to you and left hope 2023 brings some of your amazing adventures again. God bless and be safe 🙏👍🏼😘
Thanks you so much 💓
Happy new year 🎉 ✨️
Beautifully sad letter one day whenever that will be we will all be gone and sadly for most individuals forgotten it's quite scary to think about if you let your mind wander about your own mortality.... anyways great video urbex
17:47 is where the weird scream is at.
It sounded like the (warning/distress) call of an animal to me. Or maybe it was a crow or rook.
It definitely sounded animalistic but I don't know what kind of animal would make that noise in the middle of the city, with lots of people around.
Perfect ending to my xmas!
