wonder hussy, wonderhussie, wonder hussie, wonder hussey, wonderhussey
Tom died at 87 in 1997, outliving his 2 son's...it's in the Reno paper. Said he was a miner and prospector. He and Rita are on the 1950 Census in Ramona, CA. He was 40 and she was 20! They must of just started having kids right after that. She lived to 2001, age 72.
Good find. I'm not far from Ramona. Living even part time in that cabin must have been rough unless they had a trailer or rv as well with a generator. Something had to power that refrigerator.
Sad to outlive your kids
So Tom wasn't a cross dressing sea Captain ?
Thank you.
Thanks Emily.
My grandfather was a “water witch”. In Iowa where I’m from they called it “dowsing “ and he could find water with ridiculous accuracy.
Because I am blind, and when you start reading newspapers, magazines, you take me back and it definitely warms up my heart.
I am sighted and I enjoy listening to the Hussy. Fun to do while I am out in the garden.
@@martharetallick204 Good for you
Find Deb and give her an interview! Or bring her up to the cabin to talk about it! That would be cool. A full circle exploration too
Just think in 40 years people will be browsing through our old web pages instead of newspapers and thinking omg what the hell ?
"Alley Cat brand. I remember this. It's like the cheap bargain cat food that if you really don't care you just want to give your cat to shut it up."
Nuni: "Wait, WHAT!!??"
I love stuff from the 70’s. I was almost 10 years old in September 1976. What a wonderful childhood I had. So grateful to be born in the 60’s. Wish I had a do-over!!! Great video Sara!
I do too, I was 8 in 1976, my dad had just passed away the year before in 1975, in July. My childhood was great also up to that time.
April '66 kid right here...knew a Tindal in Mtn. Brook, AL.🤠
@@VistaThaiGuy my husband’s people are all from the South Carolina low country as far as I know 😁
Hello patti
Hard to imagine seven people living in that cabin. The broken mug was for those who only wanted a half a cup of coffee.
I graduated from highschool 1977. Was a great time.
I kind of remember '76. I was 3 years out of high school and well........it was the 70's. 😎
With apologies to Barry Manilow:
Her name was Rita, she wore polyesther
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show...
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa don't fall in love
I think those sweater vests on the hangers belonged to Rico.
THANK YOU for the total respect you give to the history, the contents, religious artifacts, and the people. I know you make efforts to know the history of the place you visit. Dino
76 was a **Very Good** year ✌🏼
All I kept thinking was oh no, you need gloves and a respirator Sarah. Are those flip flops you're wearing? There is not enough bleach in the world to get me in there. Great video, I can watch you for hours!
This was so incredibly cool and fun… I’m shocked it hasn’t been vandalized.
Rita is such a great name, I want to know more about their family and I want to read the other side of that folder written in sharpie. This was the best adventure/exploring video I’ve ever watched, ever!!
I love that you tried to spiffy the place up a little and put the door handle back on. That was very touching! ❤️
Alright, this video jumps up near the top of my list of favorite Wonderhussy vids. The evolution of the story, as you discovered it, was perfect. It's a wonderful reminder that eventually we all become "history" to someone else, so it's best to treat someone else's history with respect.
Water dowsing
Water devining
Rita’s giving me the cat-eye sunglasses, 7 inch ash on her cigarette, favorite song “Stand By Your Man” and longed for the day her husband would take her to see George Jones and Tammy Wynette vibe. Bet she made a mean potato salad.
I graduated from high school 4-months before you were born! '76 was a completely awesome year for me. I miss those much simpler days a lot! It was Ford vs Carter for president. I drove a green Vega POS. The bicentennial celebration on the 4th was HUGE. Spider bikes were on their way out. Sadly, disco reigned supreme, but there were also lots of top-notch rockers that turned into legends.
1076 was the year that Bostons debut album came out and started their career.
Do I remember 1976? That’s the year I graduated from high school!!!!😝👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
1976, a long hot summer in the UK, a great time to be a kid in the days when we played outside far and wide till dark. Remember it well...
You have a knack for weaving a story together! Enjoy and keep the video rolling.
I was Born today in 1976🎂 i'm lil more 3 months older than Wonderhussy. And Hussy we aint old . Well maybe I am ,but you are full of energy ,I could never keep up with you💯
One of your best! Any time you explore, we get a little history lesion. I can reminisce, about the good old days, or were they? Carter defeated Ford and then Reagan defeated Carter, a time of double- digit inflation, GAS shortages, and world conflict. You said something like "the more things change, the more they stay the same". Thank you, ALL stay safe
We love that you look at everything, its why your vids are soooo good. Some of your competitors could learn from you. Keep up the great work!
What competitors?
The pioneer lifestyle is STILL alive and well in most of rural, remote, relegated and living well America.
Two years after I graduated high school (1976). You were just a baby, WH!! My dad wore all kinds of polyester suits! He even wore an ugly brown one to my wedding (in 1977). AND MY WEDDING WAS IN VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!! Haha. Little Chapel of the West! Boy, those were the days, my friends! We thought they’d never end. We’d sing and dance. Okay, enough of that! Back to WH and her next adventure. 😀
I got married there too!
@@pennywollett3953 It was one of the nicest chapels, wasn’t it? 👰♀️
Believe you me, when you start finding newspapers, magazines, I just perk up, And it makes me wanna listen to what you find in those pieces of information that are left over by pass residence. Don’t, don’t ever stop from doing that wonder Hussey I was born in 63, and when you start reading the 70s, it takes me back in Time.t
I was a teenager in 1976. I remember ads like those in the newspapers. Makes me feel kinda old too.
The note might have said "dowser" as water dowsers supposedly could find water with a forked stick or other device. Great video (as always!).
Great explanation .
I’m a good dowser, but I use wire. It works on electromagnetic fields, every molecule has a polarity. When all the molecules of soil are poled in every direction, and suddenly they’re all pointed in one direction, the wire or branch dive right for it. The guy who taught me how called it a witchin’ stick, but then I asked a few other old timers and they showed me to use stiff wire, bend it into a long L, and hold it loosely in my hand, then walk along where the surface clues lead you to believe water might be there. Suddenly, the wire will jump itself in your hand, and dive right to the ground. Turn it the other way in your hand, so it swings left to right, and it’ll tell you what direction it’s running. Then you get a feel for how strong the pull is, and it tells you if it’s a trickle. Be advised, a water or sewer pipe under the ground will act the same way as natural ground water, so BE CAREFUL!
What a great history! That place looks SO tiny for Rita, the prospector and all those kids! I was expecting to see other buildings --- Where did they all sleep? So much information left me with more questions, so sometimes daydreaming about the story is easier! Loved this one, Wonderhussy! 🦸🏽♀️
Back in the day the bed was the most valuable thing in the home. Everyone slept in it
It's a lot of fun, going through the old news papers and adds with you.
Wouldn't it be good if you found that Debbie and brought her back to the cabin and got her story!
Water searching I believe they are call “Dowsers”
I love how you bring life back to the home. There is a house in California with messages from my family written inside the wall. I hope someone enjoys our story one day.
I had this on in the background. When you started talking about cross-dressing perm-wearing desert sea captains, I panicked. “Fu*k - she found my stash!” I thought. My heart raced! So glad it was just another mouse-infested miners camp.
Classic Wonderhussy adventure! You make your observations and postulate the history. This case provided more facts than you often have. Still much unknown. 😎 Wish you'd wear a mask,gloves and actual 👞. Stay safe Sarah
Dowsing, Water Witch, for water, etcetera. I use 2 metal rods bent like an L.
Willow Y piece. A Pendulum, Gold Ring on a necklace chain, are also used.
Another blast from the past.😀
The door latch at 20:20 is backwards but doesn't matter because it looks like there is not much left of the door needs a locksmith.
Turn that info over to the clampers so they can put up a nice stone monument there.
Dousing stick (typically a Y shape) or can be two brass L shape rods that move or deflect when a water source is directly below, I have used the brass to locate water pipes ! You have to believe & state ahead of time what is being searched for.
I love story time with Wonder Hussy !!!
Wonder how they had electricity? Hair dryer goes with you big curlers. I think Jimmy Carter was running for president in 76. Cool find. Thanks
I'm kind of amazed you'd walk around in that environment wearing flip-flops!
I remember '76. That C.B. Radio ad was for a 23-channel radio. $80.00 was a lot of money back then. You also needed a license to operate one. The F.C.C. soon stopped that & everybody was getting C.B.'s. 40 channel radios would cost you more. Jimmy Carter was running for president. I like these old time capsules that you find. They're great. Thanks for sharing. Drive safe. 🤠
Wow love that story 😍 it's really cool to actually know the story behind the cabin and the people who once were inhabitants . I always do the same when I see a old abandoned place so thanks WH.
"I would have crawled back into the womb". You made me laugh! Thanks for making my day! As always your video was amazing and informative!
I like how your intros are always different and show a preview of the upcoming video. Love your adventures!
respect for Karen Carpenter, That young lady could sing. I'm a closet carpenters fan. Dig me some Neil Diamond as well. I draw the line at ABBA
Tom and Rita Donahue had two sons and lived in their cabin for 10 years from 1976-1987. Tom was born in 1910 and Rita was born in 1929. Both of them are dead now, but their cabin lives on as a time capsule of their private lives. 🤠👌😼💩
I think we need Winnie the Pooh to run for office again
It's super cool that you found the backstory to this cabin and property, so you could connect the dots, learn the truth and confirm or deny your earlier speculation (CSI Death Valley). I don't think I've ever seen that happen in your videos before now. so it's pretty cool to see a real-time evolution. It's also cool you found the Rosetta stone to this site after you already explored most of it and came up with your own story and narrative. If you would have found the fridge note first, it would really change how you went about looking over the site.
Lastly, as always, you have some serious balls, going through all these old, crusty dwellings and ruins, covered in animal excrement, in your sandals and without gloves or even socks. This one even made you a bit reticent and hesitant to wander around and go poking around, but you did it and all of us viewers benefitted from it. Since you've been doing this for years and have always got along just fine, you'll probably be fine for years more to come. Still, I am a man and I'd never have the balls to do what you do, without solid shoes/boots and sturdy gloves. That you do, is pretty badass, IMO.
I discovered your channel while I’ve been out on medical leave. Love it.
I first heard of her on a trucker bathroom wall...
"For a good time watch Wonderhussy on UA-cam"
😃
So I did!
I found her channel a few years ago, watch them all........
I found her inn a brothel in Shanghai.
Great find.
Nice touch showing reverence of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and putting it in a prominent place. As a Catholic and loyal subscriber, I'm deeply touched. Thank you Wonderhussy.
Ha, her Lucille Ball "wah" at 8:00 when she couldn't close the door cracked me up. Oh, and the striker was backerds.
Really good story. Suggestion: Why don't you look up Debbie and ask if she'll do an interview?
Too much fun Wonder! If there is such a thing.
Your comment on "Bros of decay" sent me.
Subscribed.
Wow that's amazing and kind of neat that they put that info in the refrig let alone any info of the residents
thank you for the first good belly laugh of my day. I do so very much enjoy your quick sense of humor. I won't say what it was so I don't upset anyone else, but oh you are fun to "know" even through the little portal of the internet. Smiling, George.
When people sewed their own clothes, no labels unless they ordered some that said “handmade by Rita.” You get such a kick out of these abandoned dwellings! Don’t forget about the rat poop.
Wonder Hussey,
Love it girl, this is why I got in to your videos, don’t ever, ever stop from looking for the history, either a cabin, or wherever you’re at, love to go back in time with you when you read these things left there by past residence of those vacated cabins.
I always heard them called Dousers...they used a forked stick or something as a divining rod to fins water and other "stuff". Incredible story. You didn't have to work one up for this one😀.
Postum? I used to drink that when I was a kid. Haven't see it around of late. Wow! Well worth making a video of this place. Thanks for sharing, Darlin'🙂. And much love to you and yours.
Scolari's is still around, and is a small chain, and they're in Reno, Sparks, and Yerington.
There was one in Fernley ?
@@jburnett8152 There's a Raley's there, but I don't know if they ever had a Scolari's.
@@Britcarjunkie Yes there was or maybe still there. I use to shop there for years. Raleys is/was in Fallon not Fernley.
@@Britcarjunkie Hi Charles. Just checked and Solaris is still in Fernley on hwy 95A just South of Hwy 80.
Yes! Dowsing for water is a real thing! I had one find a good spot for my well and she had me try too it really works! Fun video 👌💥
Wow Wonderhussy is the only one who would Walk around in tongs barefoot in that mess took Alot of guts we really enjoy your journey stay safe and have a great week
You're softening up in your old age Sarah. Keep an open mind because when you're ready to talk to him he'll be there!
You honor them by telling their by telling their story.
Water witchers can be great prospectors. Its as much of a believe you can do it and it works, not something you can teach or measure.
Nystatin is used to treat fungal infections of the inside of the mouth and lining of the stomach and intestines.
Caprystatin is a OTC anti-fungal formula.
Fungal infection due to other meds. Yellow colour, prescription only in UK. Brought it all back to mums illness. Good memories nevertheless. Thank y
They lived there for 30 years? That had to be rough unless they had another place at the same time. I can't imagine 5 kids in there with one bed. Interesting video.
There was another bed against the wall remember? But still, my 2000sq ft place with 3 kids was cramped!
Shift workers, shared bed!
Love this!! Love when you explore abandoned places. I love old newspapers, magazines...even collect old menus. Love to see a bottle of beer ten cents back in the day. I want that Fonzie towel...it would match my Fonzie mug!! Aaaaaaaay 👍
What a great find. I love this ! The fact that there was history written and there to read is awesome!
Wonderhussy is with you
Oh wow! We have the same birthday! September 22. No wonder I love Wonder Hussie so much! ❤️
Way cool !! Most captivating explorer video of the month. We'll done.
They made a living and raised a family miles from civilization and they did it by working a small mine by hand. Wow! This would make a great book or movie. I wonder what they were mining. This story might be well worth continuing.
One never knows what you will find in one of those old abandoned cabins. Thanks for taking us along.
Great exploration! You’re a good singer👍
In 1976 I was 18n graduated hs . Lived all the bands u read off paper n yep took an old GFriend to see Neal diamond also. Have lots of great memories of 70's. Great video thanks.
Omg, when I thrifted in the 80s, we had fabulous clothes from the 50s, so fun!
Wow, that was quite an adventure Wonder Hussy. Thank you.
Dowsing done by downers is done with dowsing rods or divining rods. Water dowsing is also done with a forked willow limb. Many people can do it. I have seen it work. What most people don t know is you can purchase a new version of dousing rods. They are made with two plastic rods that come out of a plastic bottle. The bottle contains whatever you want to douse for ie water sand , oil sand , precious metal and so on. Love your videos keep up the great work !!!
Where’s your hazmat suit?
What an interesting little fine and fining the family history in the refrigerator. It seems you hit a gold mine of information which you probably don’t find too often..
10 years ago, Debbie's probably history now too.
Wow add to the list of my favorites this video was amazing. !! Love them…….
Jimmy Carter ran in ‘76. I graduated from high school that year!
Yippeeeeee🥳
It’s Wonderhussy Wednesday😊
THE OPENING MUSIC ALWAYS MAKES ME HAPPY!!
Just found your channel. Your very entertaining. Especially for someone in England.
Rest in Peace family 👪
The Avon Moonwind cologne was very popular in the 1970s. I have some perfume bottles with the scent still inside. The logo on the bottle is the Roman goddess Diana with her hunting dogs.
water diviner= movie staring Russell Crow; 2014.// also water witch using a forked stick to find deposits of water and ores. I can do it, it's a really weird feeling when the stick pulls down to point at the deposit.
You are quite a great story teller. character and a spectacular Lady Sarah, you are my favorite entertainment on UA-cam. Keep up the great work. 😎🌞
Wow! Your fans say it all.
Just love your videos when you explore and make up the story of what went on at the cabin. I can't believe you found the file folder that was written on with the info which really tells us who they were. Thank you for all of your inquisitiveness so as to provide us all with an enjoyable video. :)
I know you leave cabins as is but I bet that white pant suit would have looked fabulous on you! Thank you always for sharing all your great adventures!
Fascinating...well done narrative...
As usual - wonder hussy has kept me up too late again. So damn interesting the things she comes across.
Sarah, this video was especially fascinating. I could listen to you talk for hours!
I very much needed this. Thanks Wonderhussy!
Always entertaining. Take care.
