Urbex: ABANDONED HOUSE on a CEMETERY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- The family of the original owners have so kindly provided me with information regarding the history regarding this abandoned house and property in which I explored:
William Eddie owned the property from 1785-1853 along with his wife, Elspet McDonald, from 1788-1855. They immigrated from Scotland along with their 6 children. The land the cemetery is on was once part of their homestead, and the first person buried there was William Eddie's brother-in-law, Alexander McBean (1784-1847). When William and Elspet passed away, their youngest son, James Eddie, inherited the property. James built the house around 1879. The house was eventually sold to the Simpson family (date unknown), hence, the mailbox with the surname "Simpson" found inside. Lee Simpson's widow left the homestead to her family after she passed away in 1985. Apparently, her family locked the doors and left it to rot. That being said, it's been left abandoned since and shamefully become a victim of vandals and thieves.
Thanks to another viewer for this additional information:
James Eddie (pronounced EE-die) was injured in an accident involving sheep shears. Blood poisoning set in and he lost a leg, so he wore a peg leg. Apparently, there are still indentations on the stairs from his peg leg. He passed away in 1892 and was buried in the cemetery there.
Thank you for watching! And thanks to the family and a local resident for providing me with this information. :)

William and Elspet Eddie(pronounced E-D) were granted this land about 1835 when they emmigrated from Scotland with 6 of their children. They severed land for the cemetery when William's brother-in-law, Alexander McBean, died in 1847. My grandparents, great grandparents, great-great-grandparents and great-great-great grandparents(William and Elspet) are buried there. When William and Elspet passed away, their youngest son James Eddie inhereted the property. James built the house that stands today. Over the years the house was finally sold out of the Eddie family to the Simpson's. Unsure of when they purchased it? Lee's widow left it to her family when she passed away in 1985. I was told her family just locked the doors and left it to rot. It was later broken into and anything worth of value was taken. I can only assume that over the years that teenagers had their way with the old house(the mirrored backsplash being smashed). If I ever win the lottery, you'll know where to find me!! :D
+J Eddie Thank you so much for providing us with this information. I will update the description, and know many of my viewers will be thrilled to know the history of this location. It really is a shame it has been left to rot for 30 years to only be a victim of vandalism and thievery.
You're very welcome and yes, it is a shame that it's been left to rot!
+J Eddie good luck with the lottery, it would be lovely to see the property restored, just take LOTS of before pics and share them!! :D
that is some very good information, thank you for sharing😸
+TikiTrex Where do u find this place s?
First of all, I just want to say, I am like addicted to your channel. You are the only person who doesn't add corny music, you actually narrate where you are in the house, which makes the viewer feel as if we are walking through it with you. I have to say, you have a serious sense of bravery because I could never do this on my own and not be nervous the entire time. Secondly, I love your attitude toward people with negative comments. Keep doing what your doing. =)
I hate to see these old heritage houses left like this. :( I hate it even more that people vandalize these buildings. You do a great job documenting these abandoned places!
What's hard to believe is that, in 50 to 60 years from now, people will be looking at our houses like look at a house from the 1930s
Most of the homes built now aren't built to last the way these were
This is the first time I have ever seen a fireplace in the basement of an old home. It's very unusual. Thanks for sharing.
you shouldnt be suprised how you think the servants used to cook? It sure wasnt upstairs lol
boy they don't build places like that anymore. Shame it's in such disrepair.
TOO BAD THE FAMILY LEFT THE HOUSE TO ROT. SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE WANTED TO BUY IT AND FIX IT UP. TOTAL LOSS ALL AROUND.
I love your videos and admire your spunk. You find a place and walk right in like you own the joint and don't seem to give safety a second thought. I admire you.
The cemetery is beautiful and the house was too! Thanks for taking me on the tour!
House Beautiful lol.
Another beautiful place left to decay. So sad to me.
Please be careful! I've been watching your great videos, but it is unsettling to me that you are all alone...Again, be careful! Great work.
She needs to have a friend, or someone that she can trust to be with her just in case something should happen in there. (Any old abandoned house for that matter.)
Your bravery,never ceases to amaze me!
You still went down into that creepy basement ,even after you thought someone was down there!
Omg,you got some solid nerve girl !
I'm always amazed with how much stuff is left behind in these houses, it really makes me wonder what might have happened. In some of your videos it just seems as if the person(s) who lived there just vanished.
This house needs to be saved. So sad. Thanks for the tour.
This house is gorgeous, and must have been quite the looker in her hayday! Thanks for the explore!
6 years later and I'm still watching this video. That means I love it good job
Wow-neat house! It looks like it was well appointed-nice woodwork, large bathroom, someone interested enough to actually design a nifty curved counter and cabinets in the kitchen. Pretty rug and curtain remnants too.
Thanks, Pam!
For a house built in 1879, the exterior brickwork looks like its held up incredibly well! (@ 1:00)
You are fearless, not many people have the guts to do what you do. Have you ever seen anything out of the ordinary on your videos that you didn't see while filming?
No, I haven't. Thanks.
Exposed to asbestos from walking on the tile floor which stirs it up into the air, black mold, and lead paint that fell on piano from ceiling. I love old houses!! It cost more to get rid of all the health issues even before you can start on the house. Thanks for the share! Love it!
These old houses used to be so beautiful. It is a shame no one bought and fixed them up before they got so bad.
Hi Priscilla {{{ cost }} to build in the first place would have only been for the fairly wealthy... by today's standards not economical and this house no way my thought's who would want to live with a cemetery in your backyard spooky at night aghhhhhhhh ....Ed
The house of "Eddie" is beautiful, there was so many things to see there; I love the view from the open door overlooking the barn; this must have been a wonderful place to live at one time...thank you Tiki for the walk through.
You're a BRAVE girl, Tiki! Especially NEAR a graveyard! Kudos to you, Dear! Thanks so much for the GREAT tour!!
You are the brave one for watching this video with her
A graveyard is just some land. Once you die, it is over. You're dead. So no worries.
"no dead bodies." lol. this woman is great.
I think that whenever I see a chest freezer being opened. Watched too much ID Channel on TV in my past, I guess, lol.
Saundra Johnson me too
😂
hi just started watching these videos this week and cant get enough of watching them hope you never stop doing what you do.
Thanks and welcome! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the videos!
Oh my goodness, random holes in the floors.. Looks as though these inhabitants have been gone a really long time, LOVE those beautiful old doors, with glass knobs.. Thank you so much Triki, really enjoy your videos !!
You're very welcome, Gina! I'm glad you are enjoying my videos and appreciate all of your wonderful comments!
Funny you should mention the doors, most of the interior doors have gone missing very recently
Oh the stories these walls could tell!!! :)
Great video! It seems a shame that a house of this vintage is so neglected. With a fair bit of work it could shine again.
Thanks for the tour and you are very brave if you're doing that by yourself. Monsters could live in places like that...particularly the basement.
monsters taste like chicken:)
That is what I was thinking. She is brave to do this by herself. At night, might be a whole different story. But none the less, great to see. You go girl. lol
Most people wouldn't do this, let alone touch the stuff on the floor. You my dear are a rare type of woman. And there are very few of us left......
Roasted, a little garlic powder...Anyway what a gorgeous accent. Tiki, keep on trexing
You brave too for going on this tour with her
Must have been owned by a Simpson for a while. The S carved into the wood right below the sink. I wonder how many times that bannister has been slid down by children. LOL! The dress on the far right looks like from the late 30's, early 40's. I feel sorry for old homes like that. They were so beautiful once and now look at them. Sad.
What a shame nice houses going to rot what a waste. Nicely done keep up the good work more people should be informed about places like this and possibly look into restoring some of them
I absolutely love the stone and woodwork found here. Great find. A real gem :) Thanks for sharing it!
I am glad you place humor in your videos.
You were brave to go into the basement! lol I really liked the video!
Thanks for posting it!
I would love to buy something like this a redo everything. I myself would want to keep it as original as possible. Could be a beautiful home. A lot of those holes in the floors are vents, well used to be vents so the heat from the wood stove could go up to the hirer floors. Really cool house.
Thank you TikiTrex for your delightful video. I am a member of the family who currently own this property. It took quite awhile to make it through all of the comments. I saw a pattern of people who said "What a waste" and "This should / could be restored" I whole heartedly agree with them. I have the option now to try and bring this place back to life, but not the means.
That area rug upstairs looks like it could have been real beautiful back in its day
I kept thinking how beautiful the woodwork was - those foot high baseboards are what my puny two inch ones want to be when they grow up.
I, too, like to look around in old, abandoned houses like this. You are definitely braver than I , going down into the basement, though, lol! This house must have been something in it's day. What a beauty. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for the amazing video Tiki..my ancestors are buried in that cemetary and probably knew the Eddie Family. My Grandpa Donald MacDonald and his wife Catherine McLarty moved to Glencoe from Scotland and married there. I hope to visit that place where you were this summer. I think my Aunt did say that they used to go the school in that house. As she mentioned an old schoolhouse across the way by a big old tree. I think you were right about it being just that! Thank you! You have inspired my trip there.
That is really cool about your ancestors. This was actually filmed a couple of years ago but the house is still there. Thanks for your comment, and good luck in your visit.
Oh I love all your videos! I was really impressed how you go through the home and try to find information like the last date someone was in the home. Thank you for showing other how its done! Oh and HERE HERE for reminding people that taking anything out of these houses is Theft!!! Your not there to steal you are there to explore! How fun.
Good video again! I see in alot of these that the wood work is in wonderful condition! Someone should be able to take it so it could be reused. Shame to let good stuff go to waste.
The "chopping block" you have in the beginning, is a box with a lid.
The tub, solid doors and all that beautiful molding makes me wish something could be salvaged.
it's a hat box
I think it is a cheese box. Wheels of cheese are sold in them and still are use today
well I assure you the last thing that was in it was a hat lmao.
Looked up who built this house and it was J.A.S Eddie . James Eddie lived from 1822 to 1892. The property was first owned by William Eddie who lived from 1785 to 1853, presumably his father. The original house was most likely a log cabin type structure. If you notice the early add-on structure to the back of the house, you'll notice hand hewn wood beams. These beams are re-cycled and may very well come from the earlier structures like the cabin or a barn and are in good shape!! I don't know why but it does show this house location on the map held in the McGill archival maps with a cemetery in 1877. The farm was first assesed in 1836 as Hill Farm and was probably a land grant after the war of 1812. It is very unfortunate that this house has been neglected!! The bricks look like the sort made in Walkerton Ont.
Amazing videos! I just found you while I was browsing UA-cam. You are awesome! You look at some beautiful houses, it is a shame for some of the vandalizm you see.
You always find the most interesting places. I wish I could have seen the house when it was beautiful.
Thanks for a interested visit, cemeteries have such a unique historic value
I grew up a few mikes from there and recently photographed that house. I wasn't so brave to go in. Thanks for the tour. The name Eddie is pronounced with a long 'e'. I believe Lee Simpson died there and the house was left to deteriorate because of estate issues. Locally that is known as Simpson's cemetary.
+Rosemary Van Is it rumoured to be haunted?
I love how she calls out what she sees and doesnt miss anything ever! esp. when she goes through books, newspapers. whatever to get a feel of the last date the house was lived in- and I also much add that she is one BRAVE woman! some of those houses look scary in broad daylight, and the basement she always bravely goes in would have me terrified! I watched one vid. a few days ago, now Im hooked and have been watching them on and off for days, thank you for such awesome tours!!! (I wish u would find one little relic to take with you, a little antique or something small to remember all your explorations, Ive seen so much stuff that would be a nice antique keepsake!)
Amazing, I really love exploring stuff like this.
Loved the tour! You are a brave woman, I don't know If I could go through a house like that myself but I would sure go with you!
OMG i'm in love, she gives me panic attacks with the holes in the floors, the dark, the spiders, I remember the video with the raccoon, she is a roller coaster of what happens next. LOVE IT!!!!!!
ugh its nail biting when u go in those dark scary basements im just waiting for something or someone to jump out at you. ur vids are addicting I been watching em for two days now thanks for being brave to take us through em.
Do you ever get really freaked out?! I can imagine it can get pretty creepy.
I was waiting for something to jump out and scare the crap out of me while you were in the basement. Props for doing it alone...You're one brave woman!! Excellent video!!
Thank you, Laura! Good thing nothing jumped out!
4:38 that looks like a bathroom from Hoarders Buried Alive! I can't believe you went in there alone! It was a fun video to watch, but anything could have happened to you in there. Be careful out there honey!
Blanca W I was thinking that very same thing.
Tiki, I did not scroll all the way down to see if someone answered this, but here is my thought on the "stall" in basement. I believe it is a coal/wood bin used when homes were heated with it. I used to live in an old house in US that had one. Ours had a concrete "Slide" from outside with a cover. Coal/wood was delivered and slid down into bin for storage B4 use. Sometimes it was just thrown in through a window. Again great job!!
Also, at around 12:24 you show a hole in floor to the first floor. These were to allow air flow (heat) from first to second floor. Older furnaces and space heaters did not have forced air (fans) air just moved by rising and falling (Called gravity type)
I agree totally. My parents were willed a house that was built in 1917. We renovated it and moved into it. In the basement was a coal chute and a coal bin, along with a rather large coal stove that sent heat up through a single large hole in the floor in the middle of the house. The hole had a heavy grate over it. That coal bin looked similar to this one.
My Grandma's old farm house had the holes in the floor as well. They were covered with ornate grills in the upstairs rooms for heat. I thought that was the neatest thing as a child! I could look though it and see the room below.
I slept in the upstairs of an old farmhouse in upstate NY in December. It was heated only by grates in the floor. I've never been so damned cold in my whole long life!
Such an awesome old house, great vid thank you!!
Like some of the others have said, I am hooked...riveted bordering on OBSESSED in fact w/ these explorations through history. You in particular have a NATURAL GIFT with documenting and explaining your tour. Great Job !
Great job....you are so brave...thank you for the fantastic tours
I agree, I'm addicted to watching these videos of creepy old houses. I would love to do this some day.
Another awesome guided tour and trip with Tiki into our distant past. Favorite portion of this clip: The view out the upstairs rear window. It was worth the entire adventure and, in my estimation, was a million dollar view. This tour receives all five stars. Thanks Tiki! ~oO(♪)Oo~
I just discovered your videos and I am really enjoying them. My heart is racing every time you take a step, wondering what's around the next corner or wondering if you're going to fall through a floor...and I must say, you have some serious nerve/guts to go into these spooky, creepy, sad places!! thanks for doing so, though...we get to view literal time capsules from the safety of our computer screens thanks to your utter bravery! Thank you!
I'm sure if you weren't gonna play the piano, it would've played itself XD
Its always been a dream of mine to find an old abandoned farm house and explore! I'm so happy I came across your channel...I"m watching them all :)
It is interesting to imagine what it must have looked like when it was in good condition. Thank you.
By sure looked cozy and a very ninetenth century human dwelling; eerie old fashion although.
For me the thing about these places is , I always wonder how things in the house get to where they are over time. Then you walk into a room that has very old dresses hanging as if they were put there yesterday. This location has no real sign of vandalism, yet the house items are in such disarray, and why would anybody pile so much junk in a hallway or staircase? Very cool video for sure!
The grass looks short for a abandon place.
Pretty brave exploring alone like that, some houses might still have a drifter living in it.
Its amazing to see the beautiful and complex architecture of homes from the past compared to the buildings we call homes today.
The inside doors were pretty.
I like the way you say "hello?" before you head on down to the basement.
So has anyone ever thought about buying this old house and fixing it up, maybe restoring it back to it's former glory? What a shame that people have chosen to leave such an old house like this! If I were Canadian and lived near there, I would absolutely buy it and make that the most beautiful house. These types of places really should be preserved not left to rot.
Probably not since it's got a cemetery in the front yard.
Loves2LoomMom i would buy it,i think cemetery's are kind of neat.If it was haunted i would be very clear to the spirits to not try to scare or harm my family and i would leave them be.
+Loves2LoomMom Cemeteries aren't that bad, the road I live on has 4 large ones down the road from me. I'm still alive and well.
The Eddie's that were granted the land back in 1835, severed land for a cemetery so they could bury William Eddie's brother-in-law Alexander McBean in 1847. My grandparents, great grandparents and great-great grandparents are buried there. I will be interred there when I'm gone.
And trust me...I have wanted to buy this place for years. I have been in this house a lot of times. If I ever win the lottery...you'll know where to find me! :D
Also my great-great-great grandparents are there. ;)
I grew up about ten minutes away from this place; it's been empty my whole life, and I've always wanted to see the inside.
Also, I got this story from the local historical society, and some of your viewers might enjoy it: William Eddie (pronounced EE-die) was injured in an accident involving sheep shears. Blood poisoning set in, and he lost a leg, so he wore a peg leg. Apparently, there are still indentations on the stairs from his peg leg.
THANK YOU, TikiTrex!
Thank you so much for the information! Ancestors of the original owners had contacted me with information as well so I will definitely add this to what they provided me with. :)
+TikiTrex
I just found the fact sheet that the historical society gave me, and it was actually James that had the leg injury, not William -- terribly sorry! -- and he was buried in the cemetery on the property when he died in 1892.
Not a problem. I appreciate the information. Thanks for letting me know.
Have you ever thought you saw someone in these houses? (like a spirit)
That "stall" in the basement could have been used for coal when the home was so heated.
Oh, no dead bodies. Haha TikiTrex I always enjoy watching your videos.
LOL, glad to hear that! Thank you.
***** "They are COMING TO GET YOU, BARBARA " quote from the GREATEST ZOMBIE MOVIE EVER...Night of the Living DEAD by director George H. Romero...
No dead bodies but... todays cameras pick up anomalies sometimes spirits sometimes things of the past. I will tell you what I mean (take this serious) go to @2:11 I missed it the first time (first time I saw a bunch of baby faces) see when you stumble on a patch of time where you can see behind the veil, during 1 second it can change any times. Go to 2:11 and pause (do it a few times you may see something different) You will see 3 black hooded men and other stuff! Wide screen it too. Thanks David
so interesting for the back story its really interesting to know the origin of the families and houses - its a pity the house has been vandalised
You do a great job on your videos... I've always loved prowling abandoned places.
THANKS
The ceiling is neat and so are the curved cabinet doors. It's too bad this house was left to rot. Thanks again for sharing. 😎
I've always liked abandoned houses. What I've never liked is seeing stuff inside that have been vandalised or damaged in any way.
Whatever vandals lef behind ransacked abandoned houses is just worthless junk. Too bad original owners, in his hurry to get away, left to roten several valuable pieces of furniture, drapes, carpets, candils, paintings, fine clothes, etc. Maybe they carry whith them the money, jewelry, important documents y some wardrove.
When the last Simpson died, the house was full of their lives possessions, from top to bottom. The family who inherited their "life" had no room to put it all, other than to leave it where is was. It took less than 5 years for the doors to be kicked in, and looting to commence. Less than 10 years for every window to be smashed, and holes smashed thru walls. And 30 years later after the making of this video, people are still taking from the place. For instance all the doors you see in the video, all gone now.
Love your videos and the way you handle the sensitivity of the houses remains and your dedication to the back stories of its human and sometimes, animal occupants. Thank you!
It gave me the creeps this one
Yes William Eddie was the first settler here. Cemeteries, usually were started on the farmer's own property, as I guess there weren't many around back then. >>> DANGER
What would you have done if you had heard a chainsaw start-up?
+Powertuber1000 run to the basement maybe?
Carine Yezn
Bad move, trapped... not a walk out basement.
+Carine Yezn but how do u escape the dark scary basement :( i was scared for u when u went down there. reminds me of a scary movie from back in the day.
+Carine Yezn haha thats right! or maybe up stairs like in every slayer movies
+Powertuber1000 I would've met the person with the chainsaw of course !
That "stall" as you called it was probably to store wood or coal.
I would never go in there by myself!
The doors, door frames, and the wainscoting looked very good and solid... I also liked the varnished ceiling !
They have tried to rip that out too.
I love stuff like this. So mind boggling. Have you had anymore visits with abandoned houses like this since?
I have over 100 videos on this channel of abandoned house explorations. Please refer to my video list.
***** Have you ever gone to the County to determine the Histories of those homes? Generally when there is a Cemetery on a property, it was formerly a well used one. Because the Cemetery is not grossly overgrown, indicates someone, even if inconsistent either pays to have the grass cut, or does it themselves. With the advent of birth control, many family descendants and names are actually dying off, sad to say.
San47di making way for the illegal aliens who do not use birth control because we pay for their sexual byproducts.
Solid State You pay for Nothing. There is No shame in Not using Birth Control as long as the parents can afford to do so. I also don't buy the stereotypical generalizations made concerning Any group(s) of people. Most immigrants are proud of their heritage and customs, something we as spoiled and selfish Americans have seemed to forget when it comes to our own. We are All immigrants if you want to be technical about it; and I doubt that All of the fore-fathers were "legal" when they came here. However nobody tried to penalize their children who knew no other life but here in America, based on the actions of their parents.
Solid State
hell ya man that's cool.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing... I love exploring old houses. When walking over floors, if they've been exposed to rain, and they have carpet, the rot, and you fall through them. Try and stay on the rafters beneath. Done so many times myself, on the first floor, its no big deal, you fall maybe 3 feet slowly. But upstairs like you were, rather more dangerous. Also, going down those stairs, walk placing your feet on the edges, not on the center.
are you going into these places by yourself? That could be risky to say the least. Places like this can be dangerous due to age and rot...not to mention a haven for snakes. what if something happened to you? I love this kind of stuff too, but i would have a friend go with me.
Hey Tiki thanks for posting this . Tried to go in this place a couple years ago and got chased off property by either a family member or owner. never got chance to go back glad you got to though.
Love your videos , you keep every move around the next corner so interesting and fun...
Have you ever stepped on a floor and it felt as if you were going to go through it ?
Thanks, Greg. I've stepped on some sketchy floors but if they feel too soft, I get off of them as soon as I can or just don't walk on them.
Love how you save the best for last. 😅 The ONLY, Hello? in the Video before entering the Spooky Basement.
Interesting video. How did you get started in exploring? If you don't mind me asking. You seem to have a great knowledge in history. Thanks for sharing.
Eileen Dey I started walking around abandoned houses as a teen over 30 years ago. Just always been interested in them even as a young child going through Detroit seeing those buildings in awe. Thanks for watching.
Oh girl you really got me now.....
You are very brave for being yourself alone in there. I'm enjoying these vids of yours.
think that stall was just to hold wood.
Tim Leach Or coal.
Tim Leach was just to hold wood.
--Or potatoes, and vegetables, because the old cellars stayed cool all year round, mainly. I lived in an old farm house, and I used to help my old grandparents with all that, +plus pile wood in the basement! It was fun. Hard work, but Ok.
Every time you enter a room with holes in the floor I hold my breath, be careful !
we love the vids. one question we have is. since you do this alone do you carry anything to protect yourself? pepper spray,knife,gun ect.
Which part of "abandoned" don't you understand? I bet these remote places are safer to visit than a backstreet in a big city at night.
well most of the "abandoned" houses in my area usually have a crack head or two living in them.
carminefast77 Really? You must be talking about an urban area. I cannot imagine a crackhead living in a rural abandoned house. TikiTrex apparently doesn't explore empty buildings located in cities.
@@clray123 She explored an entirely abandoned trailer park in a city in Florida. That was the last one I watched.
Don't be so sure about rural safety. Sadly, crackheads and simple homelessness can be located virtually anywhere in this country. I've seen that for myself in my travels. It is a shame, but that's life in this day & age.
That property and the buildings must have been beautiful when it was new!
when i noticed the windows were all blown out i thought there would be nothing left in the house, but this is awesome. totally jealous! i can't believe you go into these place by yourself, i always go with at least one other person haha.
Yes I would probably go in with one or two urban explorers. We would rip out anything of value and sell that, then smash up the rest. Once these houses go past a certain stage they are going to get demo'd, so may as well save anything that is worth saving and bust up all the other crap in there.
heelfan1234 Urban explorers?You're more like vandals and thieves. Its theft taking anything from these houses.
hamtrak It's OK because it will all get smashed in the demolition, I can't believe you haven't been in a place and busted stuff. It's called new wave urbex smash genre.
heelfan1234
It's called ignorance & disrespect.
Dawnswebdesigns
Sorry you feel that way Dawn. I think it will all demo'd anyway so I can't see in this case our new wave urbex smash genre will make any difference.
Many, many years ago, that was a nice house. I loved the view out the window. I really enjoy your videos, they take me into place I would be to chicken to enter.
