My mom lived in Fallis as a small child, her two older sisters went to the old schoolhouse that is still there and I've still got their report cards from when my aunts went there (their mom my grandmother kept everything lol). I'm the one who mows the old cemetery lawn because several of my family members (great grandparents & several great aunts & uncles are buried there) the flowers on the cemetery gate were placed there by yours truly and I just returned today to put new flowers on the gate. I was looking online for video to show my friend Fallis & found your UA-cam. My great-grandparents were part of the residents who placed the "Fallis" rocks on the hillside. And have old pics of my two late aunts in the old school yard with the teeter totter & water well in the background with their teacher. Thought I'd share :)
Ashlee Webster it's heart warming to know that it is still cared for.. what a great place to be a part of! I appreciate your ability to care for what has been all but forgotten!..
The old church is downtown Fallis and is still standing. It's by the Koko Knoll homestead, Koko was a renowned author. The old post office across from the bank is now a residential home and no longer a post office
I could tell you a lot of old history about the town. My grandfather worked at the whistle stop station of the Katy rail line and the old steel vault door to the bank in the town square is at my moms house.
Ashlee, My maiden name is Fallis (not an easy late name to grow up with, I can tell you) and I have been doing a lot of family history research recently. Please email me @ tstraubrrcc@gmail.com so we can chat about the history of the town. Thanks!
I’d like history of the town because I didn’t hear a lot of back story in this crap video. Like what happened to this town and why is abandoned? I’m from Oklahoma. But moved to Florida.
Next time you explore an old ghost town take someone over 65 years old with you. They could tell you things about such as that carpet. It was popular in the late sixties and very early seventies. If you look at the community center as a school, look it up that way and you will more than likely find when the school opened and closed. It more than likely became a community center after school closing. Enjoy you taking us to Falis Ok.
@@elliesawesomechannel5719 I don't know about the fire. I am from southern Oklahoma a ways from Falis and the fire may have been before my time. Most of the old towns had a bad fire somewhere in their history. Ardmore had one because of a train car exploding and downtown was right there. You may try looking Folis up on Wickapedia (spelling) as they may have some history of the town telling about the fire. Good luck.
@@nicholasshade Rural Oklahoma isn't in step with the recycle thing yet. The town I grew up in, Ardmore, a town of about 28,000 population still has no recycle program. We live is suburban Dallas Tx and we have recycled for many years.
@@danielheartsill4269 I'm from Gore, Oklahoma. My brother (Darrick Shade) works for the local recycling center a few miles from my house. The recycling center is named Sue's Recycling Center. It never surprises me how little people actually know. It never surprises me how little people care.♻
+999haunted theres not a whole lot of people in there I know that from what I saw.. The more into the backroads you get you'll find many homes hiding here and there. its a strange place to say the least there was much more there than whats in the video, we just didn't have enough daylight to get everything or explore further..
I bet there's more farmers there then anything. I googled mapped it and seen hay bails on a property off of on south 3300 rd. I'm also surprise google maps still have the street names listed like man street.
@@libertyjosh804 That could be someone doing the ''volunteer hay'' thing where they don't own the land but cut and bail the hay as a fire prevention and profiteering effort. There are many fields in my area that have nothing going on except an annual cut and bail of whatever grows there.
Strange how when buildings are abandoned, no one guts out the belongings and boards it up. Maybe that piano and tables etc could have been useful to another town or community center.
It wouldn't surprise me if someone left a running lawnmower out there considering all the other metal they left behind. You think these people would have enough knowledge to pick all that metal and glass up and recycle it. But if it's not about money or brand new cars people are uninterested. The thing is if they don't start recycling now, there isn't going to be any metal for their cars.♻
So a lawnmower with an infinite fuel supply? Lawnmowers, even most older ones, have a fail safe handle that has to be held down in order to work. It's for safety reasons. So unless this lawnmower has infinite fuel from somewhere and the handle has been held down, there is no way that is possible.
@@UCm2b02qvZLDaDM5N9fl8ktw I was just thinking that this is a situation where I would have NO qualms taking as much as I could to restore and reuse because it's officially abandoned and is only facing a future of total waste, but then I read your wonderful contributions to the story. Is that something that would affect you negatively? Would you mind if people like myself took things from these abandoned structures with the intention to repair, restore, and redistribute to people who will give them new life? Your honest feelings on this subject would be very much appreciated by me. Thank you!
If the former owners wanted to keep things from their abandoned property then they should remove it. The fact that its abandoned means nobody owns it, abandoned property is fair game for collectors.
At one point the camera was looking into a building and the ''assistant'' appeared and then quickly disappeared in a doorway on the other side of the building, a rather ghostly appearance and disappearance.
@@midwesternexplorers8231 did you see any other cemeteries around there. We got kind of creeped out when we found the black cemetery (we didn't know it at the time) when these two black guys pulled up behind us in a pick up and asked what we were doing there. My Aunt said we were looking for our family members graves. He asked the name and she told them and they said no one buried there by that name. Strange thing was that they had shovels and a rolled up carpet in the back of their pick up truck.. So we left asap in the direction they told us to find the other cemetery. We felt really uncomfortable about that situation.
I advise u to be careful. Ur kinda trespassing on people’s land. My dad and I drove by y’all while y’all were on our land. Hopefully y’all have started asking for permission.
Kinda trespassing? Is that like being a little bit pregnant? If there is private ownership then the property owner is obliged to post it. And if there is ownership then are the property taxes still being paid? I doubt it. Any property owner who fails to pay taxes has abandoned the property and no permission from a nonexistant owner is required. Y'all need to smarten up.
I was about to say the same thing,LOL. I grew up in the 70's and explored worse places than that and guess what, I DID'NT GET SICK, I'm STILL ALIVE and breathing with no lung diseases. Geez what a bunch of pussies this generation has turned out to be. LOL.
a good video of old abandoned places would require some research and knowledge of what you are showing people and by the way the buildings you actually want to see are the ones that require some work to get to as those will be the ones most folks don't go out of their way to check out. Perhaps you should consider a redo with some help from Ms. Webster. Another heads up you can learn a ton about the history of an old town by the inscriptions on the headstones which when walking through the cemetery you never once focused on
KCVids816 I learned this the hard way lol.. the name sounds much better than "southern explorers/supernatural" but we make it around to all the areas.. new videos will be up soon.. we've had a lot of issues with work and making time to explore together lately..
Oklahoma is designated as part of the Southwest - Not the South. Maybe the explorers should change their name to something that doesn't designate a particular region, since it's obvious they venture outside of the Midwest.
Not to be disrespectful but you stepping on graves is not disrespectful neglecting this Cemetery is so disrespectful and so Sad these People deserve to be remembered and their graves taken care of how Sad they are just being forgotten. Except by God
Enjoy your work of exploring abandoned places, but you really need to take along someone (or pass your edit past them) that was alive when these places were populated and vibrant. At the community center, you didn't recognize the room with the piano was the dance hall. It's obvious to anyone who lived back in those times. You said the bed in the old house seemed small. The bed was the size of the old original double beds for couples. You didn't recognize the object in the corner of the bedroom as an open-hearth gas heater, which were ubiquitous in homes back in those days. I could go on with many examples from this and other videos. -- Your work would just be much more interesting and enjoyable if you had the assistance of someone old enough to know the areas you explore.
Nothing it's like the ground around the grave. I DO personally feel it's appropriate to step AROUND them as if the person was reclining in the space ABOVE ground, as a matter of respect for the dead.
did u get permission to be in peoples private property? does not matter if someone is living there or not if it is not yours and not open to the public then u r trespassing
M Steen the community center and graveyard are public property.. the abandoned cabins are literally 15ft from the main roads through the area.. im fairly certain whatever you are worried about isnt relevant to anyone but yourself..
@@midwesternexplorers8231 You have my permission to go on the property I'm related to the fallis my Mom's husband my grandpa was a fallis ..so dont let them bully you ! Blessings!!!
You couldn't be more wrong. If it's not posted, no permission is required to enter. Legally, if the previous owners defaulted on their property taxes (which we can reasonably assume), then it is owned by the county. If the county doesn't post the property, then its fair game.

If you had any Boy Scouts around, they'd probably help you fix it up. They do that here in PA and OH.....
Ashlee, is Webster your family name? I have Webster family in Oklahoma and I vaguely remember some mention of Fallis.
I posted a question for you above, Ashlee. I hope you see it to respond.
The old church is downtown Fallis and is still standing. It's by the Koko Knoll homestead, Koko was a renowned author. The old post office across from the bank is now a residential home and no longer a post office
Lol I’ve lived here my whole life. It’s not so much forgotten just rlly small. Probably about 80 people live out here. 🤍

Fascinating. Thank you
First time I heard of this. Pitcher ok video brought me here. Didn't realize there's so many forgotten places in this state.
Kenneth Wallace it’s a really cool place to cruise around.. all the backroads have amazing things as well :)
I've been on that bridge and have family buried at a cemetery buried near Fallis but don't remember the name of the cemetery. It is north of town
hamburgerdan1963 yes we stumbled upon it randomly when we decided just to drive down some old beaten paths.. it really is a gem hidden out there
That cemetery has been taken care of as much as possible through local budget

Just makes me scratch my head even more about Picher not being abandoned in the ‘70’s...
Strange how when buildings are abandoned, no one guts out the belongings and boards it up. Maybe that piano and tables etc could have been useful to another town or community center.
It would be nice to see a state map showing the location of these little communities. Very enjoyable!
Sounds like someone is mowing the lawn at about 14 minutes in. Weird if it's completely abandoned. What else could that sound be?
It wouldn't surprise me if someone left a running lawnmower out there considering all the other metal they left behind. You think these people would have enough knowledge to pick all that metal and glass up and recycle it. But if it's not about money or brand new cars people are uninterested.

It would really be fun to get permission to run a metal detector around the community center.
Abandoning is one thing, vandalism is another, particularly the cemetery! Headstones have been deliberately smashed and desecrated. That is a sin.
So is the inability to recycle. ♻
Wow. What about all the rude comments below.. Chill people. I explore Churches and cemeteries. Plus yes there should be signs.
Why was everything upside down?
Watch the rattle snakes. Used to sneak around anadarko, and paul's valley.
