    After filming, we learned that the owners both died from cancer due to contaminated waste that made its way down to the house from a dump on the hill behind the property. The owners had no next of kin and the property has been sitting this way for years, most likely in the hands of the city for failure of taxes being paid.

      Oh that's such a sad story about the owners..
      Makes my heart hurt that they had no one.. nobody close to them to love them and take care of them, while suffering cancer.. and it's a maddening crying shame that poison made them have cancer.. and I'm just thinking out loud.. but surely no one in any company has paid or this crime.. against the ppl, they can't be the only ppl became sick and passed away from it..
      So so sad..

    The more I watch these type of videos the sadder I get !! Don’t let those antiques die !!! I’m sure those people whom collected it didn’t do it for it to just rot !! So sad if I had the money I’d buy up them old places start a museum and donate the money to the elderly!!!!! This is sad them old people prolly died alone too and now their unwanted belongings just rot !!!

      My goodness Lisa, you said exactly what I was thinking! That old stove look like one my grandparents had in their woodshed/summer kitchen, as did the old wood/coal burning stove! God bless you dear, I do love 'visiting' these old abandoned places via video, but I too feel a great sense of sadness when these wonderful examples of a way of life that is gone forever are simply looked at then left behind to rot. I wish more people saw the historic, nostalgic value in these items that you and I do and picked them up so that they could be used, seen, and/or shared!

      Hate to be a downer, but my family has been in antiques, industrial salvage, and all kinds of stuff for many years. The stuff in that house, after getting, loading, cleaning, ID, photos, storage, transportation, selling at auction/online/donate whatever - you would probably only lose about 3 or 4 thousand bucks. 99 percent of the things Americans own are worth nothing. The rest can be priceless, but not in a house like that. There might be one or two things out of the whole lot. Nobody would do it.
      People commenting on this always go on about how much old crap is "worth" - it's listed for 5k on Ebay! - without ever having sold any vintage thing ever. I've been doing it for
      21 years, and most vintage stuff is worth nothing, not even scrap yards will take most old sewing machines, which people always rant about. Four models are worth money, the rest
      are "collected" from thrift stores and never sold - because that market is dead.
      I cleaned out a house once full of garbage, literally like three feet of garbage on the floor, and we inventorized all the stuff worth looking at.
      Out of a 4 thousand square foot house in an affluent neighborhood, the only thing worth anything was an old Victrola, which sold for $600.
      The nostalgic idea - people are nostalgic, but they aren't going to pay much for a cabbage patch dress. I deal in furniture, and again, at least 97 percent of what Americans own - including the wealthy - has no long term value, just short term utilitarian use.
      For a period in the early 2000's I made a great deal of money on very vintage computers, first generation stuff. Can't find them anymore, all went to homes/collections.
      This house is full of sentimental stuff, which is fine, but nobody will touch it because it costs more that it's worth.
      Hoarders love that kinda shit though, you can always rely on them to put more "cool stuff" into their homes.

      @@00recon Sadly the only way that you can go into these old places are with permission. But still lots of folks are doing it anyway. But it's still not legal unless you have permission. With the town having ownership they would be the ones to contact about buying the collectibles from them. I have heard that quite a few people have bought things from the relatives. Usually the reason that they don't want to leave people in the falling down houses and building is they are afraid of being sued if someone gets hurt.

      I couldn't agree more Edith! That exact thing went across my mind. These items deserve a new 'life', either by being used again, or donating some so others can appreciate things that once gone, will never be seen again! Also, to those who feel saving items from this derelict house is some how 'immoral' or wrong - Do you honestly believe the original owners would prefer these items they once knew and used were left to rot and decay, or wind up as useless landfill; or be re-used by people who can use them again? Would you rather give away/sell a useful item you no longer want or need. or would you throw it in the trash to just go to waste?

    Great videos and please guys safety first. Always use gloves and always wear breathing masks / respirators. Some of those places are highly contaminated. You never know what kind of toxic spores are floating in that air. Not to mention asbestos and other dangers lurking. All those chemicals such as DDT and all the other contaminates inside their home could have been BIG FACTORS that ultimately contributed to their demise. They didn't have to worry about the dump outside the real problem was inside. Those chemicals are all known to be cancerous. These people were hoarder's bigtime. Anytime you see magazine 20 decades apart there was some serious hoarding. Stay safe and many blessings.

      Joyce Winchenbaugh I’m a vintage sewing machine collector. In refurbished and working condition, if made before 1941, they are worth between hundreds and thousands because sewing machines made before WWII were collected and torn down and reused to make weapons due to metal shortages. I have a 1928 fully working machine I found at a thrift shop for 35$. I looked up the model number and in antique shops and resale shops the machine goes for around 800-1000$ look up singer 228 featherweight and look at the ranges in cost they go for. It’s amazing, if you have vintage machines that are singer brand made before 1970, especially made before 1940 and they work, and you only paid 25$, those people had no idea what they were selling.

They sleep good except when you go to turn over. Lol. I saw so much stuff from my childhood in that house. I love those iron beds. I have 2 in my home now. Wood stove and kerosene heater.

    Good video. I was really surprised that you didn't find more soft spots in the floor. Houses vacant for that long seem to have more damage than that. The only thing that looked damaged were the basement stairs, but they were probably broken, and not rotted. The stairs to the attic may have revealed more decay. Keep up the good work. Your style (speed and panning) make the video more comfortable to watch than many.

      @dugdiamond 5 років тому +3

      Agreed, at some point that house was used as a storage and somebody just stuffed it with junk and piled it on top of stuff . Dropping off horde after horde. Notice two different piano frames, several different stoves and antique sewing machines. Also the old electronics. I noticed some cool tubes like those 6v6 in that old console and some of those sweep tubes from the TV sets. This was definately some hoarders stash house. Perhaps an old realtor or property manager or someone who was in charge of the property. There were a few minor treasures but for the most part it was mostly junk . Shame about the pianos but then again they were likely nothing to write home about in the first place.

Within 3 to 4 years they had to go in and remove 10% of his lung. And he wasn't in an old house he was in his own home which was no more than 10 years old. In these older homes I would imagine along with all the rest of the unsafe conditions there is abestosis related issues. Just saying!

It's really hard to believe they had no other family because of all the baby and children's stuff. In the end someone had to sleep downstairs in that second kitchen. I wonder how old they were because there were no signs of walkers or the pink basins that come from nursing homes. I really love this video and am glad you took your time and filmed it.

These places are abandoned so long that the disrepair is bad enough it's better to demolish the house instead of fix it and with the homeless problems we have all over the country it's just sad. Although it's really cool to see all the old items. Why wasn't your friend wearing gloves? I would expect that's standard equipment for exploration.

    I have stayed at that cabin many times, winter is the best time. I have seen 2 feet of snow at the cabin door. The outhouse blew down about 2 years ago. The rancher put in the water trough in about 4 years ago it sucks because the cattle destroy everything. Please do not tell the location. It's a really special place with a lot of regular people have been visiting for many years.

    I agree about the gloves and the mask. I have skin and nasal allergies and dust allergies. Also allergic to dust mites. But the steel-toed boots are not always a good thing. A friend of mine had something heavy at his work drop on his. It landed only on the steel-toed part and it cut his toes off. So, they are not always a safe bet.
