Huge Abandoned Mega-Mansion (Must See), EXPENSIVE VALUABLES left behind, Sad story, 27,000 Sq ft

- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- 27,000 sq. ft Million Dollar Mega Mansion Abandon for 12 years, frozen in time. 10 bedrooms, 10.5 bathrooms, partially finished indoor pool, basketball court, in-law/maid suite & 4 car garage on 2.18 acres. Beautiful architecture, fixtures, tiles, marble, columns. Tons of personal property left behind. Name brand clothes, shoes, jewelry, tv, etc. Chanel, Nike, Gucci, Lebron.... Christmas tree left still standing and a must see all mirror closet. This is definitely a rare find and such a sad back story. Father & son passed away in a single engine plane crash and the wife and 3 remaining children lost everything. The father was a high ranking doctor who built this home in 2006 for his family to live in but only 2 years later and 90% finished the father and his teenage son passed away and the family was left in huge debt that ended up causing them to lose their only home.
For your next video: constructive criticism made with no ill-intent- Move your camera more slowly (I was getting dizzy from all the spinning and fast movements) and hold your camera a bit higher to get shots of the entire room. This video was mostly floor and wall shots. Interesting things sped by. Don't be afraid to move slower and spend time in each room. I'll be watching for your next one! Good luck!
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Yes please
I agree I could not watch it as it made me dizzy.
Yeah, she needs to keep it more eye level and slowly move around
Okay already…. She gets it. Thanks for the content!
100% agree with the other commenter who said you got to slow down with your camera getting everybody dizzy and I can barely hear you. You need to turn your volume up. Tx!
I just cant imagine what kind of grief this family had to through ,everything good and then next day they had to pick up and move, having to bury part of your family, that's a difficult situation to have to deal with. 😥😥😥😥
Yeah, it sounded like it was hard on them
@@YoureTrulyThere Thank you for doing this video and your sympathy for the Family. You mentioned that the husband and son died in 2002. Did the remaining family members stay there till 2016? Do you know why the house wasn't sold? I am just curious 🤔
@susangurnett310 so the remaining family members left in 2009 and the property was sold to a real estate agent and a Nigerian national who lived there until 2016 when he then fled back to Nigeria and found himself under arrest on suspicion of terrorism charges and the homes taxes had been failed to be paid for. Then he suspiciously died (which they believe his death had foul play). Some of this history I was able to find out more recently.
@@YoureTrulyThere I am glad they were able to sell home. They really needed the money. Thank for answering my question.
As much as I appreciate seeing that beautiful house...
I can't be happy to feel I am intruding...
My dad was also a doctor...we also were 4 children and we lived in a huge beautiful house too...
When the head of the family goes...the famy life goes...
He was probably young and did not have enough life Insurance.
When you are at a good place in your life...often you think nothing can happen to you.
Hope the family are ok now.
The father who was killed in the plane crash was not young. He was 55 years old and died along with his 17 yo son. The wife left behind was his wife of 10 years and not the mother of his children. He also had a disabled daughter from a former wife (former wife died in 2018) and no provisions were left for this disabled daughter. Numerous attempts were made to contact her half siblings and all were left unanswered. Pretty disgusting behavior.
Thank you for posting this , it's such a great loss ,
What a beautiful house so sad story 😢
That was a beautiful home, really sad that they lost a husband/ father and brother...I'm sure the husband had life insurance
Unfortunately they didn't have life insurance. They originally had a 2 million life insurance policy but a few payments were missed and it got canceled.
Oh , I made comment pertaining to insurance now regrettable I understand clearly there circumstance
Dr. Collison flew small planes as a hobby. In 2008, he and his 15-year-old son died in a plane crash in the Shenandoah Mountains during a storm.
At 12 years old, Amira Collison lost her father, older brother and way of life as she knew it - “most of everything we had, including our home and our livelihood,” she says.
Unable to maintain the life Dr. Collison had built for their family, and shattered from the loss of her husband and son, Mrs. Collison became severely depressed and anxious. She sent Amira Collison away from their affluent Maryland community to live with her grandmother in South Side Chicago.
There, she would see and experience firsthand the disparities people of color and lower socioeconomic status face - namely in health care and education.
I like this a lot. I liked your commentary, and your respect for the people who lived here and what they lost. I liked that you saw the elegance and taste of all the features they chose so painstakingly and put together with so much love. Thank you. You've restored my faith.
You have start somewhere!!!!!👍🏼
Yes I do!
Ok Everyone, so first I would like to say that I appreciate all the feedback. Secondly, please keep in mind that I am still new to this and I realize now some of the things I need to critique. Thirdly, I understand how frustrating it is to watch something that makes you dizzy so I will definitely take that into consideration on my next video and move more slower. Lastly, I am not whispering on the video the reason why my voice sounds so quiet on the inside compared to the outside is because the outside was taped at home with a voice recorder and then I overlapped the recording with the opening video but the inside I was talking on the video as I was taping it so I now realize that I need a mic so that my voice is picked up louder with the video. Once I publish my next video please check it out and you should see a vast improvement. Again, this is a learning process and I enjoy the feedback so I can know what I would like to do better on my next one. 😉
Thanks for accepting our feedback.... I’m sure many of us will be looking forward to your next exploration especially if it’s anywhere near comparable to this location !
Watch other videos to see how the experienced people do it. Watch Big Bankz, Ethan Minnie, Steve Ronin, Bros of Decay, etc. You can get some clues from them. You did move too fast and we probably didn't see a lot. I heard you just fine. The only thing that bothered me was the constant sniffing. Do you have a cold? Keep at it, the more you do the more you learn. Good luck.
You did great! As you continue to tape and watch them yourself it will all fall into place.
I sure hope this broken family had loved ones for comfort.
I also thought I bet the taxes would be
outrageous it would make a nice B&B or wedding venue
I agree you move to fast and there is a constant scratching noise. It's very annoying. You would bnefit from a phone mount with a handle to stop the noise from the movement of your fingers
I think expanding the camera view to a bigger angle can give us the perception that we are there with you .. we will be able to see all the room
I think the problem is that she didn't film it orizontally, which would've been good for a better view but also the right format for youtube. I'm sure she'll fix it next time!
Exactly
Here to 👍. I live vicariously through people who urban/abandoned exploring.
This is soooo cool 😎!!
Me and my wife watched yourc videos both enjoyed nice job!! 👏
Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate your support. 🫶💜
Definitely a beautiful place !! Thanks for sharing!! That dressing room / closet is legit !!
Oh, my goodness!! I’m so happy to have found you!! You focus on everything I would. I subscribed because this journey was the best I have ever seen. You’re wonderful. I feel so sorry for what happened to them. I would think the husband had life insurance. It was just too painful to ever set foot in there again. What a fantastic find. I so appreciate your narration and gentle presentation. Thank you from Denise in Ft Worth Texas
I appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately the family had life insurance but it was canceled due to a few missed payments and they never corrected it before he passed. It's a shame they didn't have that in order because that's very important to make sure your family is taken care of.
Me2 thnx again...😃😃
It’s crazy how your life can turn up side down in a blink of an eye
That is very beautiful mega mansion it is very sad 😔 about the family 👪
@Paul Smith I am doing good how are you doing I live in Bemidji Minnesota we are getting snow 🌨 here today it is Friday night here have a great workend take care
@Paul Smith that sounds good to me
@Paul Smith I am doing good how are you doing I am just watching TV right now I am staying home tonight and staying warm it is cold out here
@Paul Smith I am doing good how are you doing merry Christmas and happy new years
Magnifique 😍Super joli ! Merci du partage ! 🤩👍💕🌈🎁🌞💐
That family did have nice floors, and baseboards. The heavy breathing was an added bonus!
It's amazing how the grass and bushes outside are slowly taking back its territory
Sup from Kentucky
MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES 💐 EXQUISITE CLASSY ELEGANT👑💯🥺
So sad, thank for sharing this adventure
Life can change in an instant!
So True
very interesting video… Its crazy so much was left behind you’d think the house was seized by the DEA or FBI (more bizarre they left behind family photos) Always impressed by people that due any urban/Abandoned exploration
These wasted places are so depressing! All that glass and mirrors, Windex thanks you!
27000 sq ft is HUGE!! Like STUPID HUGE!! I don't know why anyone needs that much space to jus sit there unused
When one has a certain income level you must find tax write offs. You either use your money (homes) or give it to the government, big fat tax checks .
Little advice for filming next time is make sure your camera isn't zoomed all the way in as it was here. Pull the camera lens back so we can see the whole area you are showing us. Thanks
👏🏿 GOOD tip for there future explorations 👍🏿
How exceedingly sad. I can't imagine what the Family have and are going through. I hope this family had Life Insurance for when one passes. We have. When one owns a Home one should always make a will and Have life insurance for the Family left behind. So sad seeing clothes, and the bed that they left that morning. I really hope his Wife and the other kids are dong ok x i wanted to ask who you Guys are, should you really be in this House. What must the family think if they ever see this Vlog.
Unfortunately the family didn't have life insurance. They or I had a policy but it was canceled due to missed payments and it never got corrected before he died.
It still has great bones, full of potential
That’s why it’s so important parents have life insurance when they do or have a high risk job
It's a very nice home !
It is really sweet house!!
Tip for your next videos: show everything slower, especially the details, open doors, show drawers, cabinets. Thank you 👍🤩( Brasil)
Thanks for the tip!
Omg that's horrible 😢
Heating or air conditioning cost would be huge. Anything bigger then half the size is ridiculous unless you had lots of children and extended family living there.
A doctor built that home? Think of all the people who had to get sick to pay for it.
more than likely, it was a Medicare fraud case.
Right?!
🤔 I think of ALL the peoples THAT RECOVERED BECAUSE of this DOCTORS expertise and there families that were able to spend MORE hopefully quality time with them .
@@brucebeamon5460 Doubtful if he wrote prescriptions. They only got sicker.
Desperately sad story about the father and son and the other two friends.
Good Luck
I wish you'd opened up some of the doors and went to the basement
Cool video 🎉🎉
I pray for that family,
That’s really nice
It's very odd that you frame the story so completely inaccurate as if the items in the house were the Collier's items. No, the house was purchased in 2009 by Ime Umanah and Natalie Middleton and this is all HER stuff. She still owns this house. Ime died in Nigeria in 2015 and Natalie became the sole owner.
Maybe it was just the memories there they didnt want. I'm sure they got more money from the accident. But the amount of absolutely beautiful furniture in that home, going to waste is so sad. I truly hope some of those things are repurposed or the home is saved
I hope so too.
The true story is, all those things didn't belong to the original doctors family. The mansion was bought for Natalie Middleton who was the mistress of a Nigerian businessman named Ime. When he was assassinated in Nigeria see moved and left mostly everything. She's a real estate agent in Washington D.C.
Where is your evidence to prove it
@@MonicaRodriguez-hi2my , Really, or are you just being a troll?
@MonicaRodriguez-hi2my it's called research but thanks for your interest.
Natalie Middleton still owns this house. She and Ime Umanah, a supposed Nigerian businessman purchased it from Dr. Collison's family in 2009. When Ime was killed in 2015 in Nigeria, she became sole owner. She has almost lost it to foreclosure but somehow still owns it. What I cannot figure out is why she left so much of her stuff there and why she doesn't sell it since she's doing nothing with it and it's just disintegrating day by day. It's the strangest part of the story.
Just so depressing!
So glad you don't steal stuff
the other guy backpack was full and heavy
Good Lord that’s depressing!
Another issue is a super huge mansion but only a little over 2 acres. I rather have a house half the size and twice the property.
The family should have consulted a real estate consultant to see what to do with this property. This property could have been sold.
Thanks for the video. I agree with @margannful about the camera work. Also, your channel name is misspelled. It should be You're Truly There.
Wonder why they were in a hurry? Left tons of clothes and shoes. Were shoe boxes empty? And Christmas trees still standing. Makes you wonder
Yes, shoe boxes were empty.
I think it’s smart not to reveal locations… Lots of beautiful places and items should be left preserved not vandalized
100%. Tons of pieces of shit in the world.
If i saw this home i would gut it. The greed to leave it sit when could house so many. Those rich greedy people that can afford to leave such a place can afford the poor to remove all items that could be used. Used building materal has value, why let all that material go to waist?
At least tell us the state.
Preserved lol. A place with so much usable building materal sitting there rotting. Chop down trees and massive polution to make all the stuff to build a home. Now people wanna preserve a empty house thats bigger then 20 average homes to rott away. Yall make 0 sense. Hug that tree especially hard wood trees that are massive as let hard wood cupboards and floors rott to the point it cant be salvaged and chop down another hard wood forest. Reduce, reuse, recylcle. Tell me i cant have a plastic bag to carry my food home as these massive houses with so much usable material sit empty to rott and no longer usable. Demo piece by piece taking care not to cause severe damage and 90% reusable. Hell i built a free house when did a demo job. Even saved the wire and plumbing. Those bricks used worth like 4 bucks each times thousands. Just those bricks worth like 100 grand. The hard wood floors 2 bucks min a sq foot times 10 000 sq feet. The counters gotta be 5 grand. The cupboards over 5 grand. The studs are like 6 bucks each times thousands. Floor joists are like 2 by 10 worth 20 bucks each. Beams to a massive house like that worth hundreds each 16 feet. Windows a few hundred each. The sinks and tubs etc a couple hundred each. All that wire is 2 bucks per pound and save long ones to build another house. Old homes with copper pipes 5 bucks a pound. New houses with pvc pipes can be re used. Doors 100 to 1000 each. Ply wood 60 bucks a sheet and hundreds in there. Walls, floors all have plywood. So like half million in usable building material rotting away as we pollute to create more and remove trees that clean our pollution just to preserve a house that nobody could ever afford so it rotts. Stupid people preserve stupid things but expect others that dont care to pay the bills.
@@MrGlenspace if i ever saw that i tell you what, i would remove a small trailer full of stuff as a test run. If im un noticed and remote area i would pull that house apart til only a foundation left. Every scrap of wood or brick etc would be gone. 4 guys in 2 weeks could strip that place and save almost everything to be sold as used building material. The rest is scrap or wood to heat the house over winter. Pitch tents and go 18 hrs per day and ya 4 guys can do so much that before they knew it the house is gone. 6 or 8 53 foot van trailers dropped out of site. In 2 weeks be a cement foundation and 6 or 8 trucks hook up and gone in 5 min. Be on unsolved mysteries, the house that vanashed into thin air. Where i live there was a abandoned building that sat 30 yrs. The city paid us 4 guys to demo. 4 story building with houses and street only 20 feet away. In 2 weeks we were done. Got 5 grand each plus all the building material and scrap. I sold my share for 12 grand and it was 110 yrs old with busted windows and no doors so ya it had damage but still value. So ya if that place was within 300 miles of me it wouldnt be there long.
I can't believe they would have and spend that kind of money yet not secure his family's future by having life insurance and his finances in order. Also if they needed money why didn't they take and sell some of the valuable stuff... Now it just sits and rots. Yeah these people unfortunately weren't very financially educated. So sad... And yes y'all are new , but you'll learn... Great find ....
Hadn’t even thought about that ALL those designer items of clothing and shoes and other stuff looks like it could have gone a ways to cushion the financial burden thrust upon them .... But then her state of mind may have prevented her from going though the process
@@brucebeamon5460 oh ya there was a lot left behind that could of kept her going but who knows maybe she already took all she needed...
At 4:12 need to stop watching. I’m getting motion sickness.
Love this. Wow.
If the bank has it why not sale it I don't get it
Maybe watch other people's tours of abandoned home so you can get an idea on how to do it without making people sick and so we can see everything better. Thanks!
I actually took everyone's advice and I redid the video of the Mansion. Check it out and see if it's better to watch. ua-cam.com/video/hlQMubNI0Ro/v-deo.html
A. Why is there constant whispering? Very distracting.
B. As has been said camera angles are poor.
C. Bare walls and window with no view= boring
D. How did you gain access to this place? Did you have keys? Break in? Sneak in?
D. Who cares they are inside a abandoned home. Aint nobody been there in years.
Why wouldn't the bank sell off the furnishings and then listed the house so they could recoup a big portion of the investment? Doesn't make sense to me. Even if the bank took the house, furnishings and property; it would seem that they would have been able to keep their clothes.
Beautiful home.
I SURE WISH there were laws on the books that would FORCE BANKS to do what’s necessary to put these places back on the market and held fully accountable
They MUST have been in a TOUGH SITUATION if they could not even go about the business of selling rather than just walking away !
Was wondering why not sell the house and everything inside
@@solangerobloxadoptmir2015 who would buy a unfinished house with a 60k a month Morgage payment
Need to lift your camera higher
Neighbors must be unhappy that a nearby house is left abandoned so long.
If the home is sold as is, we wouldn't mind cleaning up...
Are you Listing the House? Why are you there?
No, I don't own this property.
Why so many dumb questions?
Jo Malone of London is a high end Cologne and other scents.
Nice floors. Couldn't watch the whole thing. Camera in constant sweep motion made me sick.
Did they leave their dogs behind too? Looks like damage from animals and I saw a dog crate .. if they abandoned their dogs like that, maybe they weren't such good people, if they didn't then all good, but makes you wonder why there are bite marks on the beds at the bottom 🤔
Some of the animal damage you saw was from racoons and other 4 legged creatures getting in there.
@@YoureTrulyThere that makes sense 🤙🏼
Can’t watch anymore you are moving to fast showing walls and floors
That ply wood blocking the door can easily be kicked in. A few good kicks and it will open. I usually give a good kick then i know how hard to body check it. If dont budge to a kick then i know use all my force to body check. If it moves a little i know not to body check too hard cause go flying once it gives but 99% of the time a good kick and the nail or screw heads go through the wood.
So if the house is vacant for that many yrs how come everything is still left inside and it has not been up for sale?
Greed of the rich. Rather it become worthless then to sell cheap.
with all due respect ....I realize the need to be quiet BUT you need to download with some volume couldn't hear most of what you were saying and I have no hearing issues
Was it the Mayo surgeon...? That's my best guess by process of elimination. I think they must have left around the holidays - tree is still up and the Mayo crash happened before Christmas. And 3 remaining children. Let me know if I'm getting close 😄
No. I looked that one up and it’s not the same house.
OTHER EXPLORERS HAVE BEEN IN..WISH YOU WELL..
Would really like to know the location of this as I’m a home contractor and would be interested in purchasing it, although sad story it’s a beautiful home that would look nice finished and a little tic inside and outside.
It's on Tik tok and his daughter talks about it. She is now in medical school
That stack of Hermes boxes tell me that they likely lived a bit frivolous.
You noticed all those 📦 I the closet plus here there every where on the floor!!
Where is this home located
Where would the wife and remaining kids up and left to without a concern for their home or property inside?
You were spinning the camera around to much it was making me sick to my stomach to try & see what you were filming. I cant even finish watching the video
Sorry, thanks for the feedback
I mean the beautiful fire places those 😎🆒 pillers you didn't do the basement?
I actually did do the basement but it was just too much video to add to the rest and the basement was unfinished so it wasn't too interesting
If you're going to do a lot of this type of video my suggestion would be to invest in a GOOD camera with lighting and SLOW DOWN!! If you're just going to use your cell phone, turn in horizontal , you'll get more of the room in the video. Beautiful home, it's terrible that the family lost everything. Hopefully they had some kind of insurance.
Thanks for the feedback. I took the advice of alot of UA-camrs and I redid the video of this property. Check it out and hopefully it's better. ua-cam.com/video/hlQMubNI0Ro/v-deo.html
what city and state is this property located. I am interested and looking if the price is right.
5 million
Do you know if this has been put up for sale ???
reminds me of the mansion Christopher bought in the sopranos series
👍 Yeah, it does look like it a little.
Just sad what a waste and millions of people are homeless while these mansions sit empty,makes alot of sence.NOT!🙄🤔
Who is giving you access inside of this house??
This happened to my family and I know many others that this has happened to.
All I can say, is at least I had it all once.. 😂
My Dad died, my sister got sick and almost died. At that point we needed to get my sister to another state where my brother’s a doctor to save her life. Nothing meant anything to us anymore, so we just left our home filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars of everything. Priorities change when you loose your Dad and almost lose your sister too..
Now I wish that we did things differently, but we didn’t.
Before our nightmare, we had a neighbor that owned a 30,0000 sq’ house. His bastard kids wanted the house and his money. They had him declared non compos mentis and put him in a nursing facility. He owned the largest ambulance service in Los Angeles.
Wow, what a crazy story about your neighbor. And so sorry for your loss and your sister's health. I hope she's doing fine now and your family is ok. Thanks for sharing.
Wow sorry to hear that life is really crazy at times!!!
@@YoureTrulyThere Thank you 🙏🏻 My sister is doing well against all odds.
Life has been difficult, but we live on...
@@nokaptv1996 Thank you 🙏🏻. Yes, life can be stranger than fiction.
@@jamiemorgan4146 glad to hear
HOW DID YOU GET IN???
You go so fast cant see anything need to work more on how to use the camera sorry . Just it would of been nice to see the place
Thanks for the feedback. Will work on that. 👍
I am having problems in researching the details on this, but I am interested in possibly obtaining the property. Would you anybody be able to give me any reliable info or at least a hint that's already figured it out? TIA!
10 years from now someone going to come across UA-camr’s abandoned house with Waffle House still on the counter 😂
Pick up like what you're doing outside so we can hear you OK
In my opinion, you made a wise decision.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Feel bad for the family, just having to permanently leave like
That, and start over somewhere else, that's hard to do.
Don't understand why creditors have not repossessed and sold it - presumably if they lost everything, there will be people owed money - ?
Strange.
Yeah, I'm not sure why either
So heartbreaking for the family.. but I can’t help to wonder … what specialty did the physician practice to makes that much money to afford a home like that ? Clearly not Emergency Medicine
Dr. Hector Collier owned several private practices. Cardiology; possibly surgery.
You're outside you're nice and loud and hear you're going to place your whisper and like somebody's gonna hear you if it's that bad you shouldn't to be in there you're afraid somebody's going to hear you speak up we're not deaf you just need to talk like you're doing your outside
I agree!!!!!! there is noone there so why don't you speak up? cant hardly hear you at all......
Why are you whispering ?
Makes people feel sneaky and cool.
@@shawnkelly695 oh . Ok
Isn't this called break and enter 🙄🙄
