I hope you're all having a great weekend, and thank you for your patience on this one! It has turned into our longest video yet. We figured we'd switch pace and hit the wilderness a bit, with these three unique ghost towns. Enjoy!
Some of this reminds me of my Dad dragging all of us kids through all the old cemeteries in Pennsylvania looking for our deceased ancestors. Sometimes the places would be so old and forgotten, coffins were sticking out of the sides of hills and stuff. Very scary for a kid to see. Great Footage!🍀🌹
@@kflo8634 Hopefully the state has gone in and started maintaining the really neglected ones. This was many moons ago when he took us around to them every summer.🍀
Its incredible to me that nature can completely obliterate any sign that there was a town there at all. I really like that the landowner had the boulders marked. What a great memorial idea. I am especially happy to see the lack of grafitti on the boulders.
Roger Babson made a killing in stocks during the great depression. Looks like those times are coming again. Xhance to make intergenerational wealth just like Babson.
I hve only gotten thru Dogtown so far and it is awesome. A place where all society's outcasts cld live. I love the guided tour through the woods, the erriely quiet woods, the erriely quiet woods with hybrid wolves roaming around. Unique. Thank you.
This one could take a while! I never intended to make hour long videos, but they found me lol. My only regret on the video was packing in the equipment due to the darkness and missing the howling. It would have been an even eerier addition to the video, but we felt speed was more important as they got closer. I think many have felt some attachment to Dogtown for its acceptance of all types of people. I'm not exactly your average person, nor are most urban explorers for that matter. One person's utopia could be another's dystopia. It's legend certainly holds interesting lessons and so many stories that last until today.
@@DesertifyUrbex I like the longer format . Yes, I can see how speed wld have been important. I've never seen a location quite like this before. Thanks again.
The town of Monson is interesting. Beautiful area. Its awesome that the one remaining house was saved and made into a museum. I loved hearing the history. Thank you so much!
Possibly some of the best narration on YT!! Nice work!! Reminds me of my childhood roaming the woods of northern RI finding so many old cellars & hand dug wells.
Hi, yet another fantastic video, I find the old ghost towns really fascinating. The first one was really quite eerie though with the little dark paths trying to entice people into the swamp. I loved all 3 old ghost towns so thank you for your amazing research skills and thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
Thank you Sue 😊 I have heard area natives who have gone 50 times to that one say they always get lost. I have a great sense of direction but it gets me every time. So many boulders and little trails. The swamp was famous for sucking sheep in.
I totally had to edit some parts out where it was just too much lol. My best advice, save the hundreds and buy an knock off GoPro. I normally am not on cam as much or show as much walking, but even after cutting 75% off the footage out, I feel it shows how things work off camera. Lots of footwork for sometimes, just a few things. Or a lot, if you get lucky!
Regarding the stick houses you often see, like @ 17:38, those are bigfoot tree structures known as teepees. They are basically used as cribs for the babies and youngsters while the parents hunt.
I've heard that theory. I often see little branch lean-tos and huts. Some of these I sued to build with friends in the woods. There are often also Blair With styled figurines in places that I go. I once almost fell down an open well in a ghost town at night when negotiating my way through a bunch of them. Pretty distracting!
Truly some pretty places and always worth the hike. The White Mountains especially are a sight to behold. I have been to all three a number of times but it seemed like it was the time to share them Glad you enjoyed and can't wait to see some Scottish and Welsh mountains again!
You can still go to the old town of Dana MA. Inside the quabbin resevoir that was disincorporated back in the 30s. To build a resevoir for Boston. There were 5 towns taken by the state. Only Dana sits above water. The people were kicked out of their homes and businesses, because boston needed more water. There are sidewalks with cellar holes, with a post at each hole with pictures of the houses, schools, church's, motels, that made up the town common. It is a short 2 mile walk along a abandoned paved road. You can go to the quabbin visitor center look at pictures of the building of reservoir. Along with maps they sell, or just take a picture with your phone of one on the wall 😉, of the gated abandoned roads that used to make up the valley. It's definitely a very interesting place to visit and explore . Lots of history in this area. Daniel Shay from Shays rebellion used to live here also, for you US history buffs.
Oh and my one suggestion would be to maybe read the markers aloud as well as showing them :) it was pretty hard to see and I’m so curious about the cobblers house. Thanks again and can’t wait for the next explore!
@@Beachbum3579 Good call. Since I zoomed in I probably could have, failing that put text on the screen. Will try to remember that if I shoot another sign. :)
Wow ! The Livermore part was awesome, I would like to tell Bob Shackford was a relative I stayed at that cabin more times than I can remember. Also spent many days swimming and hiking around that river ,Thanks for the memories!
Monson, what a beautiful place! New England is indeed beautiful, I hve only been up as far up as Rhode island. I cld live in tht long house. Watching your videos is a breath of fresh air in these troubled times. Thank you so much. ♥️🗽
That's awesome to hear. I was sort of hoping people could just take a walk with us, and some history and forget things. At least it helped us, so it made sense.
What lovely peaceful places! Mother Nature is a magician in her ways, as she covers all that man has erected, and the stone walls and floors of much loved homes, end up with beautiful green carpets! Soon there will likely be little evidence that these old places were ever there and existed! It makes your videos, so enjoyable, and interesting to hear all the history of each venue you visit! This video was worth waiting for, in my opinion, and you are correct in describing your other video camera, as it makes you all shorter with quitw fat legs!! Ha-ha! Take care and stay safe!...................................old Tich.
It's especially funny as that camera is considered the top action cam brand. These were some nice hikes with good friends. Glad you could come along and hear the stories!
There is also some old abandoned settlements in Brookfield NY about 4 to 5 miles back into the woods of New York state lands on fairground road in Brookfield Madison county New York there has to be a dozen of abandoned stone foundation mo One knows about even the historic society of New York State doesn't even know what it was my stepfather came across the one day hunting in the state lands
Thanks! Some do at them, though due to US laws it isn't legal in the parks. I very much prefer the system in the UK where you get to keep or are paid for finds often. I would guess some good coins at least in them.
First time I went to Livermore was in about 1989, it's amazing to me how much it is deteriorated since! For instance, the brick smokestack was much more intact and taller the first time I went. Nature is definitely taking over. As far as that safe goes, it is well known that that is in fact the safe that belonged to the store. It was found to be empty when it was first opened.
Thank you for watching and the extra information on the safe. That makes a lot of sense. It is amazing how nature can take over a place given some time.
I really love those old stone walls at the company store site. If I were physically able, I would build a stone wall around my house just have one. LOL!
Back in 1998 and 1999 I helped Russ and his wife Gerry, rest in peace, rebuild the house that still stands in Monson. We removed an addition that had been added sometime in the 1940's or 50's and brought the house back to as close as it could be to its original state. We worked some long hours, with nothing but hand tools putting the structure back together. The addition had removed a large portion of the original roof in the center, rear of the house. We hand cut and fit new purlins into the original mortises and tried to keep the repairs as authentic as possible. We also removed a fair bit of things that weren't original to the house, like wiring and plumbing. If you stand in front of the house, you can see it was built in two sections. The left half is the original, early part, mostly built with American Chestnut in its posts and beams. The right half was added some time (I believe) in the early 1800's though I could be mistaken. You'll see that the right side has a basement, albeit a fairly shallow one, while the left side is unexcavated underneath.
If you wanna go where it's crawling with ghosts, go to Maine. It doesn't happen every day, but in 10.5 years I got pictures, drained camera batteries, mediam experiences, ghost ppl and ghost dog. My building was over 200 years old. There was a hole to tie a rope to open a small door where you could store milk and cheese in a metal box. I moved out in 2015.
Been to Dog Town, almost made it to Livermore this year but ran out of time, and never heard of Monson until now. I'll have to head up there some time.
Hi🙋🏼♀️kinda back haha had a lot to catch up on n I'm finally up to watching videos haha figured it's been 3 weeks today since I came hkme from hospital n all anesthesia is outta my system I shouldn't pass out watching lol you 2 left her in the dust😂loved the design on that safe you found...I have friends in New England one moved to Nevada tho wonder if they heard of these places...I might ask if I remember haha...this was awesome loved seeing all the ruins n water...loved this🙂💜
Thank you! Imo more people need to visit these ones. They have great scenery and a lot to see still. We did kind of break up on that one based on walking speeds lol.
@@DesertifyUrbex seemed like a few others walking around but not sure where they went(not the ones with you guys)I wouldn't be able to keep up I'm short😂but I still wanna ask my friends if they know of these places they might n one friend may have been she's into that stuff she works nites so might be asleep now
I love the Livermore segment. No howling wolves, but great history, beautiful location. I hve always wanted to c the white mountains. The ruins of the mill reminds me so much of an old forgotten cemetary. Beautiful old safe, ornate. So well done, thank u so much. 🌞🐎
Thank you! Yes, I've even been lost at night in a ghost town and found it's cemetery. Almost fell down a stone well after and encountered an off site burial. It's a place I need to return to once back in the USA. I also have discovered a number of looted crypts which are in my videos.
@@DesertifyUrbex Wow, I haven't seen that one yet, I'll keep watching. There's another channel that I stumbled onto (I think how I managed to find yours) that tells history while exploring lost cemetaries in GA (SideStepAdventures). I think it's so much more fascinating when history is put into everyday life terms. Thanks again!
@@kristenjoyce2180 Oh, yeah. I've seen a few videos of theirs. One of the few who do more than "the family mysteriously vanished" or "they left and never returned" cop-out routines.
@@DesertifyUrbex I once was driving through Hollis on my lunch 1/2 hour. Went by the old, small graveyard ,almost went in but my intuition said- don't get another spirit attachment ;) so I turned around down the gravel road nearby. That's where I saw a strange, red coyote with NO face. It crossed 3 times in front of my car, sat down & stared at me (no eyes) just a white face/no features. I took a pic. fuzzy but you can see all white- no face. Pretty spooky. :D
@@DesertifyUrbex Heylo! I've always noticed things like that. I like continuity. And I often use cc when it's available. I don't know how you do it. Yours is always superb. Kudos!
Dogtown is SO interesting! You mention the witches and spruce tops & 'foxberries' - well that's a groundcover I have that I found was named partridgeberry- same plant. :D
Again great stories about small places, almost gone by now, nice idea of the marked stones but if not maintained even they will disappear, we also have a few places like this but here they are taken by water, and gone forever.Hope you guys are doing ok, here we start too think the virus won't touch us anymore so ppl are getting the virus again, the human race is a slow learning one sometimes.
We don't last as long as rock, but often are as dumb as them! I am lucky to be in a state that paid attention early There are some submerged towns here, but always from making dams. That has me intrigued. I assume yours are much older on average. Thanks for walking along with us on these.
Dogtown used to have lots of blueberries.... grew up nearby... great place ... swimming in Babson reservoir..... hunting .... picking berries .... hiking..... Nothing scary... nothing strange....
It's a great place. The first time I went I scanned a QR code on a wood post. It made my phone become all chinese or japanese text characters. Not able to use it much or reset the language, I found myself already a little lost and couldn't map back. As darkness fell I used the phone with my gf who had a dead phone as a flashlight, going through swamps as a girl began screaming in the distance. Eventually we made it out to the entrance where some police on four wheelers drove up to me and asked if we'd heard screaming. We pointed out the direction and they drove off. I suppose that first encounter colored my perception and it's full of old legends and weirdness. Your childhood memories sound a lot better!
@@DesertifyUrbex few people realize Gloucester where Dogtown is was first settled in 1623. Thee years after Plymouth. Would like to retire there but too expensive now. I moved down to the southern portion of the Delmarva peninsula. Rural, food from land and sea.... warmer weather....
@@christopherk140 That sounds good to me. I wouldn't blame you for staying! I can only imagine the cost of Gloucester. Much of coastal New England has had the people driven from it by cost of living inflation and property pricing. My family being one.
@@DesertifyUrbex checked out the whole coastline from Eastport to Pensacola ... Accomack county Virginia... bought a place on the marsh, waterfront for 317k.... farmland is available for 3500 per acre if bought in quanity.... check it out on Zillow. I will share my research and info. Like minded people need to help each other.
@@christopherk140 A solid approach that panned out well. For the moment I am a road in the UK for a few years perhaps but will one day return. That info could be useful then, as it's not an easy task!
Watch out going to dogtown - if you’re coming in from the office park, that set of tracks you have to cross are live. I’ve heard enough horror stories from friends who hop freight to be very, very careful around live train tracks.
Thank you for showing all this I live in Massachusetts Never knew this existed I'm just wondering why everything's fuzzy is it the camera Steamy that day Other than other than that thank you very much
I almost have three times. Once in the dark. It has to be one of the most dangerous things about exploring abandoned places. The worst are wells where the wooden cover is rotten and ground level.
Totally became one lol. Have to say the GoPro seems to be a lot of hype. Unless you never do editing. We looked so weird. You should have seen some of the little parts I chopped out
Lol... It's definitely another person, you see them a minute or so later too, and you can see a blue truck driving on the road too right before the guy in the woods... Not a ghost or anything.
Why didn't he just beat that old rusty safe with a ball bat and then just jump in and roll like a dog in the fireproofing asbestos powder inside. Now you know why any metal in the area except that safe has been salvaged.
Thank you. Do you mean the historic slide animations? If so, yes I took a bit of license on this video to make them more interactive. I will keep in mind to tone that particular animation down.
I’m curious if those women you call witches were religiously persecuted either way it’s still not cool to refer them as such many women have suffered in New England in the past for such Nonsensical accusations.
I hope you're all having a great weekend, and thank you for your patience on this one! It has turned into our longest video yet. We figured we'd switch pace and hit the wilderness a bit, with these three unique ghost towns. Enjoy!
Dog town is supposed be haunted did you hear anything when you were there or found the toys that hang there
east broadway , SOUTHIE☘️
Some of this reminds me of my Dad dragging all of us kids through all the old cemeteries in Pennsylvania looking for our deceased ancestors.
Sometimes the places would be so old and forgotten, coffins were sticking out of the sides of hills and stuff. Very scary for a kid to see.
Great Footage!🍀🌹
Thanks! Two of them are long slogs of many hours so pretty close lol
Holy shit; that's nightmare material.
@@kflo8634 Hopefully the state has gone in and started maintaining the really neglected ones.
This was many moons ago when he took us around to them every summer.🍀
I love rushing mountain rivers and stream-so relaxing.
Born and raised in Boston MA. I'm a proud history buff but just learned about Dogtown today at 61 years of age
The Pine tree riot is another historical mindblow! :D This was great!
Its incredible to me that nature can completely obliterate any sign that there was a town there at all. I really like that the landowner had the boulders marked. What a great memorial idea. I am especially happy to see the lack of grafitti on the boulders.
That does surprise me. I have only seen one tag ever. I have seen dug up areas and trash but it is almost pristine.
Roger Babson made a killing in stocks during the great depression.
Looks like those times are coming again. Xhance to make intergenerational wealth just like Babson.

You do not see that much. They are all so different. Monsoon is a great casual walk while Dogtown can be messy when you inevitably get lost.
Dogtown was pretty eerie. I enjoyed all three. Great work.
It is a creepy one at night especially
Possibly some of the best narration on YT!! Nice work!!
Reminds me of my childhood roaming the woods of northern RI finding so many old cellars & hand dug wells.
Thank you! I used to search for those as well as a child :)
Very interesting video and the places are so beautiful. Oh but so much walking, I envy the fit and healthy. Thank you for sharing. Take care all 🤗
Thanks! It was a challenge for me. I dance and hike often but the virus left me weak. It was a good way to get some of that back 😅
I love videos like this. NEW ENGLAND born and raised!

Great videos as usual!👍👍🙋🌟🤗🕊️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video dude. So much to look at even if it's all bits and pieces.
Lots of remnants and traces for sure. New England weather tends to nuke the houses fast.
Regarding the stick houses you often see, like @ 17:38, those are bigfoot tree structures known as teepees. They are basically used as cribs for the babies and youngsters while the parents hunt.
I've heard that theory. I often see little branch lean-tos and huts. Some of these I sued to build with friends in the woods. There are often also Blair With styled figurines in places that I go. I once almost fell down an open well in a ghost town at night when negotiating my way through a bunch of them. Pretty distracting!
@@DesertifyUrbex
I hope you didn't get hurt.
You ner go out to sites without at least one person with you, right?
I very much enjoyed the weird and wonderful story of Dogtown. The landscape surrounding all three is beautiful.
Truly some pretty places and always worth the hike. The White Mountains especially are a sight to behold. I have been to all three a number of times but it seemed like it was the time to share them Glad you enjoyed and can't wait to see some Scottish and Welsh mountains again!
The old tools at that 2nd site was cool to see. Only stone stands the test of time. It must have been a large sawmill operation. Very awesome!
It is a big place. You can go in the woods all around and even across the river and find things on the ground. Of you can get to them that is lol

The mosquitos of Dogtown are fierce if you go in the summer. They will carry you away !
There is also some old abandoned settlements in Brookfield NY about 4 to 5 miles back into the woods of New York state lands on fairground road in Brookfield Madison county New York there has to be a dozen of abandoned stone foundation mo One knows about even the historic society of New York State doesn't even know what it was my stepfather came across the one day hunting in the state lands

There is nothing like stone. Most old plots in New England you get some free walls, they are just not where you want them lol.
Enjoyed all three very interesting history. Liked the first one the best. Witches ang outcasts loved it. Thanks
I do have to agree that Dogtown is a very special place, even without buildings left standing it has a true presence. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!
OK I live 10 mins from Monson and NEVER Knew!! WOW. Amazing stuff.
That's awesome. Always happy to share a story especially when it connects to somebody.
Again great stories about small places, almost gone by now, nice idea of the marked stones but if not maintained even they will disappear, we also have a few places like this but here they are taken by water, and gone forever.Hope you guys are doing ok, here we start too think the virus won't touch us anymore so ppl are getting the virus again, the human race is a slow learning one sometimes.
We don't last as long as rock, but often are as dumb as them! I am lucky to be in a state that paid attention early There are some submerged towns here, but always from making dams. That has me intrigued. I assume yours are much older on average. Thanks for walking along with us on these.
Very slow.
Neat love this thank you
My pleasure bringing the stories to you. Thanks for watching!
Dogtown used to have lots of blueberries.... grew up nearby... great place ... swimming in Babson reservoir..... hunting .... picking berries .... hiking.....
Nothing scary... nothing strange....
It's a great place. The first time I went I scanned a QR code on a wood post. It made my phone become all chinese or japanese text characters. Not able to use it much or reset the language, I found myself already a little lost and couldn't map back. As darkness fell I used the phone with my gf who had a dead phone as a flashlight, going through swamps as a girl began screaming in the distance. Eventually we made it out to the entrance where some police on four wheelers drove up to me and asked if we'd heard screaming. We pointed out the direction and they drove off. I suppose that first encounter colored my perception and it's full of old legends and weirdness. Your childhood memories sound a lot better!
@@DesertifyUrbex few people realize Gloucester where Dogtown is was first settled in 1623. Thee years after Plymouth.
Would like to retire there but too expensive now. I moved down to the southern portion of the Delmarva peninsula. Rural, food from land and sea.... warmer weather....
@@christopherk140 That sounds good to me. I wouldn't blame you for staying! I can only imagine the cost of Gloucester. Much of coastal New England has had the people driven from it by cost of living inflation and property pricing. My family being one.
@@DesertifyUrbex checked out the whole coastline from Eastport to Pensacola ... Accomack county Virginia... bought a place on the marsh, waterfront for 317k.... farmland is available for 3500 per acre if bought in quanity.... check it out on Zillow.
I will share my research and info.
Like minded people need to help each other.
@@christopherk140 A solid approach that panned out well. For the moment I am a road in the UK for a few years perhaps but will one day return. That info could be useful then, as it's not an easy task!
Wow👍👍👍
i’ve been to monson before and it’s really cool to visit
Awesome!
Thanks All new to me and a nice break from crumbling mansions
Thanks
Thank you!
Watch out going to dogtown - if you’re coming in from the office park, that set of tracks you have to cross are live. I’ve heard enough horror stories from friends who hop freight to be very, very careful around live train tracks.
Interesting... I wanna go to Dogtown!
Thanks!
Thank you for showing all this I live in Massachusetts Never knew this existed I'm just wondering why everything's fuzzy is it the camera Steamy that day Other than other than that thank you very much
I did not notice that. Maybe was something with the heat. Thanks for exploring with us!
43:34 hollis mentioned 🗣️
Wow
👍👏🏼
The dude who put the QR code was like "gotttem!"
Later, looking back on it, it was quite a funny story. Certainly not at the time though.
6:48 Was your phone hacked by that QR code?
It certainly seemed like it!
@@DesertifyUrbex ugh... damn. All angles now.
Isn’t it still a ghost town if only animals live there?
If you Screw Up and old house in New England. By over renovating. Ye Shall be Forever Cursed for the Dead will be Raised.
Aren't you afraid of stepping into an old well?
I almost have three times. Once in the dark. It has to be one of the most dangerous things about exploring abandoned places. The worst are wells where the wooden cover is rotten and ground level.
@@DesertifyUrbex Me too, except it wasn't covered but filled with leaves.
Oompa loompas...hahaha
Totally became one lol. Have to say the GoPro seems to be a lot of hype. Unless you never do editing. We looked so weird. You should have seen some of the little parts I chopped out
Starting at 31:10 - 12, the photographer doesn't seem to see the dark figure about 40 yards in front of him in the deep woods. Excellent catch!
Very interesting. Did not see that!
Lol... It's definitely another person, you see them a minute or so later too, and you can see a blue truck driving on the road too right before the guy in the woods... Not a ghost or anything.
Im offended because of what you said about the camera, my family are ompa lompa😂
Lol. Sorry!
Oompaloompaz lol
Why didn't he just beat that old rusty safe with a ball bat and then just jump in and roll like a dog in the fireproofing asbestos powder inside. Now you know why any metal in the area except that safe has been salvaged.
It was certainly built to last!
I live right next to monson in Greenville! Thanks for this little history lesson. I can’t wait to go check it out.
Awesome!
Your knowledge of the start of dogtown is poor at best. Read Joe Garland's book. I helped him on it growing up on the outskirts of dogtown.
Had to stop the video so I could goggle Dogtown..........lol
It is a weird place. Very near major towns and cities but completely empty.
It would be cool to take a metal detector back there.
There's quite a lot under the ground at all three I think. Thanks for exploring with us!
Interesting information but all the bouncing effects are a bit much. You can do better. Take it easy guy.
Thank you. Do you mean the historic slide animations? If so, yes I took a bit of license on this video to make them more interactive. I will keep in mind to tone that particular animation down.
Dogtown was boring.
He is false. He is 100% Canadian. Fn liar. Also computer generated.
Who?
I’m curious if those women you call witches were religiously persecuted either way it’s still not cool to refer them as such many women have suffered in New England in the past for such Nonsensical accusations.
