I've always found such fascination in abandoned buildings, but I always thought due to the way I was raised, that it's just criminal to explore such places and it makes you a bad person. It's incredible to know that so many other people have the same interest, and I truly find beauty in old places that have been left behind. It is sad that vandals can ruin sites with graffiti, but it's really cool to know that alot of people within the urban exploration community sort of "protect" said locations. I hope to be able to explore abandoned buildings in the future, as since I am a minor, I am unable to go places by myself. People like you truly inspire me, thank you for the content!
@@AxomolGD-20hey I'm 13 I was wondering is it OK to go to the abandoned house that is by my house right across the street I know no one lives in it because I knocked on the door I opened the glass door and the front door has a hole as big as a hand and there is a 40 year old tv and the house it like 10 feet by 10 feet and one floor I think like the chimney in in the middle of the house there are 3 house like that on that rode I bike on and another one that is a normal size house and it looks abandoned but I'm not 100 sure if anyone lives there but I've visited the outside of the house with the 40 year old tv many time Sim scared to go inside but don't have anyone to go with my friend lives 4 hours away because I moved with my dad got
Depends I'd say. If it's a highly trafficed place with graffiti and trash all over I would say go ahead and cover those lame territory markings with something cool. If its someplace a lot more untouched I would say nah. Lol I guess it's a lot like the 'dont break in' rule. If there is a hole someone else made go ahead, but dont make it yourself. Uuuh anyway no point. Just wanted to toss my 2 cents into it. Thanks!
Graffiti adds to the whole experience seeing who’s been there and what’s running and if you go back you can see new stuff each time so I wouldn’t ride off all graffiti artist maybe get to know one.
@@empireinruinsfilmstudio6010 I agree, but i think he meant people who destroy stuff for the purpose of just ruining it... tags or art is cool but if you're just breaking furniture or windows or making crude things (dicks, sw4stic4s etc.) then like, stop ruining it for everyone else.
Thank you for some good pointers on getting started. I especially appreciated your advice on using google maps. And thanks for stressing the importance of leaving a site exactly as you found it. In these difficult economic times, it's important that we remember many these buildings are inhabited by our fellow citizens who are in various states of crisis, which is also a good reason never to go exploring alone.
Dude no offense but I've been doing this shit for 13 years and i highly consider myself a true urban explorer I've been to a load of abandoned places and I always give out the locations and I always break in. Urban exploring to me is about forgotten history and if there's a cool spot to explore and I have to break in you better believe I'm going to break in I'm not going to leave a cool location unexplored and leave behind an opportunity I also give out locations because why not share the love? Vandals never ruined it for me and I love when people tell me about new spots
It’s a shame that people like you exist who call yourselves urban explorers when all you do is break into buildings, give away their locations so vandals can trash them, while giving actual urban explorers who respect the buildings they explore a bad reputation.
Great video. Google Maps and Street view, as you mentioned, is a great way of finding places. Look for places with collapsed roof, lots of vegetation around etc. I have discovered, at least in Norway, that abandoned buildings often doesn't have an address. No address means that the building/house has been abandoned for quite some time. I also read lot of local newspapers. Often there are neighbors that are complaining about abandoned buildings and go to the local journalist to write a story. Those buildings are easy to find too since journalists rarely bother keeping the address or name a secret.
Nice video dude, im literally a freak searching new places everyday, google, google maps, internet news, and hours and hours of searching info... I love your explorations, and your video edition. Want to se more !!!!!! Greetings from spain !
PS, here in spain when a building is abandoned, less than a year the build is completely vandalized and stolen, its so sad, I think in your country people is a little more respectful than here. So thats the problem, to many investigation hours to find new abandoned places and when you come back second time its so sad to see that ruins :(
I live in the middle of the country but still by Chicago, even here after ten years of living here I have found abandoned houses. Just takes time to look around your town or city
I live in a similar place and am just trying to now find some places to explore. Just moved here so am not super familiar with the area but i'm excited.
Ha. Tell me about it. We went for a shoot and found a pretty cool shelter but it had graffiti all over it with a MASSIVE penis all along it. It completely ruins the shot. There's only so much photoshopping you can do. And if you're walking around in a video with a dick in the background, it's just fucked. It makes me wanna take my own paint and just repaint the entire site haha
I recently found a abandoned rock mine. We were just out hauling ass and rallying my car on back roads, saw some buildings and equipment that was all blocked off. Stopped parked and checked it out. Absolutely no graffiti, nothing was broken into but all unlocked or already open. Still tons of items and heavy equipment, generators, grease, oil/fuel etc. It was absolutely crazy! Can't wait to find more
another person to contact for an abandoned place is land surveyors. I'm not an urban explorer myself (but i am trying to get into it) but I am a surveyor that has surveyed on countless properties that have been abandoned and someone is trying to buy the property. Unfortunately all of the ones i know of have been developed and to my knowledge are no longer an option. Except for one 40 acre property that burned down.
Researching is one thing, but yeah sometimes u just have to go out and explore...I mean hell I've wanted to pull my hair out from failing to find a place, then I find out I've been living next to one...
Please respond I need answers, cop today got my info and said if I trespass again I’ll get charged but I don’t do bad things I just climb and take photos. I’m nervous but don’t wanna stop I love doing this
@@legoworkshop2908 what’s the worst that can happen though, idm jail it’s a free house with bills I don’t have to pay. The creator just said to be carful next time. I’ll go at morning

You discussed the subject perfectly, its a shame that people will post locations publicly for anyone to grab. personally when i want to go out and film a location i get very satisfied when i have spend days and days looking for the place. nice video !
I'm new to all of this and I agree with your tips. It is heart breaking to see these beautiful designs of these buildings destroyed. I'm in upstate New York, the country not the city, and it's not all that easy. God bless and good luck to all.
Thank you for the tips!! I’m a 40 year old Mother of two and I’ve been exploring abandoned buildings since I was a kid and up until recently, I had no idea this was actually a “thing”!! Anyways, I’m thoroughly enjoying these videos and I’d love to see more videos on this…as well as those urbex laws you mentioned. Especially now that quite a bit of time has passed since making this video. I’d love to hear a more updated version; as I’m sure you’ve incorporated some newer methods along the way. Thanks again!!
What if we’ve driven really far to a location, only to realize it’s boarded up? Couldn’t we just remove the plywood & nail it back up when we leave? 😬 I get the whole Urbex etiquette thing with regards to breaking in. But what if we enter by way mentioned above, take our photos (while obviously respecting the property), making certain to leave it exactly the way it was prior to entering?
In my experience, my city is full of train tracks that are rarely used that snake through the whole city so I've found a lot of abandoned factories and cemeteries that way. Definitely be careful because being hit by a train is not fun, atleast around here the cargo trains don't run on weekends and passenger trains have their own special routes you can avoid.
Some of those forums and abandoned sites can contain old places that have been either demolished or so heavily trafficked that you can catch a criminal summons real fast. Especially the publicly know sites like hospitals and asylums. Heavily guarded and patrolled. They don't want us to urbex.
I know what you mean, it's unfortunate really :( - I tend to search the forums for results from the past 1-2 years and there's usually a pretty good chance that they will still be somewhat intact :) - Yeah, hospitals/asylums are so annoying because they're so interesting but so difficult to get access to! - Thanks for watching!
ive been staking this warehouse out infront of my house which i think is abandoned as about a 2 months ago there was a big drug bust there im really thinking of hopping the back fence just to find out more about it but im scared the power is still on and if i get even remotly close to a door its gonna set an alarm off
Abandoned places I've been to: 2x water treatment plants, which was amazing! A scout house, which was fucking creepy it had small secret hallways and staircases for tiny people. and a slaughterhouse. But i can't find any new places and i found you. And i just subcribed
am an avid urban explorer in the uk rn, kinda wish i found this video a while back, turned out my mum's primary school became abandoned, and was happy to explore it with me, it was great exploring the place with my mum taking me round as a tour guide.....
I live in West Yorkshire (like Dewsbury etc) and it’s not normal to not see an abandoned building every 200m squared I’m starting an urban exploration channel soon and this is like the perfect place
I enjoy exploring disused hospitals. Especially old asylums as most of the were built late 70's and the architecture is amazing. Even some of the carvings on the doors. Could spend days in them just looking at everything.
Thank you Lee great advice :) I live in Canada my cousin is in Scotland, I wish i were there to explore lol. I will have to start looking around now :)
Thank you for this info. I have recently started to look for filming locations for a short series I'm looking to do. And trying to find places that match a ghost town that I can legally film at is not that easy for where I live. But I have started to research and get info on some possible locations. They may be a full day trip but we will see what happens. Again thank you for the info!
Great video, man. I've been to a couple places here in Nebraska. I live in a rural town, so there's quite a bit here, unfortunately it is almost all on someone's farm property :D. The law is pretty laxed her, so I don't worry too much about trespassing if I get caught (and it almost always results in an oopsie, because if it's open and there's no signs prohibiting, then how am I supposed to know?), but I tend to have better luck in the ghettos of Omaha, NE - where whole streets can sometimes be abandoned. My last UrbEx video I did for my channel was on a house I used to live in that had been condemned, then forgotten by time. Access point was awesome, though I wished someone hadn't smashed the back door down, but yeah, I think I was the first legitimate person in there for at least 6-8 years. Pretty trashed, but has a lot of my past history behind it, so it was kind of a trip :D. Anyway, sorry for the lengthy message, and... SUBBED :D.
John Rosen Nebraska represent! I'm just minutes from Omaha, also in a rural area and this summer I plan on exploring again! Always had a fascination with abandoned places! Crossroads Mall is somewhat abandoned, but not entirely, lol. -James
I remember exploring my old house two years after I moved out, the bank took our house so we pourpously trashed it and drew on the walls before we moved out, it felt so awesome when going back in.
hello! i really love exploring, like, i love exploring everything. recently found out people explore abandoned buildings and i so wanna start doing that! ty for some tips :3
theres an abandoned 50s house a mile away from me, theres a drop tile attic yet to be searched. however there was some paranormal things that happened there, my friend found a babydoll with burnt looking skin and x marks. very creepy
There was an abandoned golf course near where my Great Grandmother used to live, since she passed me and my mother moved into her house, I used to go to the golf course everyday, I never vandalised, but now, all the buildings got torn down, because they are building a park there now, but before then, one vandal burned down one of the 2 story employee builds for the golf course, made me sad.
Hey awnser when you see but I'm 13 and I have 2 abandoned houses by my house and another one on the highway the one house on the rode has a hole in the front door and I seen a 40 year old tv it also has a padlock I wanna go in and I know Noone lives there is it safe to go alone it's. Only 12 feet by 12 feet and the chimney is in the middle its like 1950s
it's a shame some places don't do like special tours so people could look round taking video or pics and other people are there to do with the building to look after it, just a thought
I have found all the places that people took pictures off, and posted in Facebook groups in Denmark. Just though the few details that they left, and then going on google earth for several hours. I like exploring to take pictures
people in the 360 degree camera scene can also upload more rural 360 clips to street view to show those non shown areas on google maps. The insta360 one X camera scene does this....very handy for those who wish to share the whole view in videos also when you save it in VR as you can save in a few formats. Have you not played with the 360 cameras at all Lee?....by the way...loving your work :]
Xplosion51 I assume you are feeling inadequate/lacking in some area of your life........please don't take it out on Lee, go somewhere else, I wish you well xxx
I think my state's bad for urban exploration. It's just a huge desert and the only abandoned places are ghost towns from the 1800's. I think I just need to go look for myself, but even trying to do research online to see if I can find schools or hospitals or asylums or anything, nothing comes up for miles and miles.
Does anyone know of any good locations in aurora colorado? Me and my buddy are looking for some houses or construction sights that arent active. We are just bored and want to go places, no destruction or anything.
I once entered an old ww2 abandoned jewish home, knew it was empty legaly since '44. Anybody there would be as much a tresspasser as I. (checked the adress prior) But the truth is, those windows were not yet broken somehow... it was weird, stuff has been barely touched if at all since I'd say the 60s probably some do gooders who waited for the family, then i found a window, it hasbeen recently covered in a foil but it was already unsealed... buuut the inner window was a loose plane of glass with only those triangle blades holding it... needless to say it was fun to do some repairwork for the opening after leaving, thankfully the strong rain covered all the sounds
Me and my friend have always been interested in exploring abandoned buildings, but I have a fear that we’ll come across a group of drug dealers or any type of suspicious people lol
Okay I understand that it's not okay to vandalize abandoned buildings and if you're going to explore them to just explore them without damaging anything but I was wondering if it is okay to just salvage stuff from there to like sell or use anything wrong with that
theres one place near me thats abandoned, brilliant place when you got he first time, but its all really open right next to a massive supermarket. like theres no rooms or dar bits to explore its pretty much 2 big rooms with no roof and boring second time around, i cant drive but i REALLY want to go as far as i can, but i can only pay for something if i know i can get in...
I checked out this video because I looked on Google of abanded places in my area and it actually showed me your video recently my dad's work told him to go and check out this place cuz he is a painter and they wanted to get his approval on whether they should rebuild the place or he could fix it up and paint it and I went with him there and there's a bunch of debris on the ground we are kind of iffy on what the place was the pace seem to look like a doctor's office but there was a church pew in it one man's trash is another man's treasure and I'm the woman who's tresher is their trash and I can easily repurposed things I can find so my mom when she was younger and her teen years that her and her friends went into an abandoned building and she found a skeleton key she still has to this day and I love it its butifull and I think it's pretty so one day I really hope I can Venture into another place and find something like that
I DO have one question though...say you guys found an abandoned place that you want to explore so you guys check if there's any open entry point because like you said in your video you guys "DO NOT BREAK IN IF THERE ISN'T ALREADY AN OPENING OR OBVIOUS ENTRY POINT." DO YOU GUYS STILL ENTER even if there's an opening and you guys see a sign that says "NO TRESPASSING?"
After a while you find yourself looking for such places the whole time! Certain features will put up a little flag in your head; A building with broken boarded up windows, a large building with part of its' roof missing in Google earth, heavily overgrown premises, and so on! I once found something odd in Google earth and within an hour I was there! It was an abandoned railway shed deep in woodland! And then I came across other Explorers I know viewing the same site. Great minds! But one thing about Google Earth - it isn't always up to date and I have found sites totally gone! But if you don't go to see for yourself - you will never know.

californian here, ifs its popular its probably overrun by hipsters. if its recently abandoned itll be demolished within a year :(. on that note any southern californians here looking to create a urbex group HIT ME UP!
Good tips, I picked up one or two, but one of my go to sources was not mentioned - which requires a lot of independent work Or is used in conjunction with your tips. I'm looking forward to seeing if you mention it in a future video ;)

Great video, man. I've been to a couple places here in Nebraska. I live in a rural town, so there's quite a bit here, unfortunately it is almost all on someone's farm property :D. The law is pretty laxed her, so I don't worry too much about trespassing if I get caught (and it almost always results in an oopsie, because if it's open and there's no signs prohibiting, then how am I supposed to know?), but I tend to have better luck in the ghettos of Omaha, NE - where whole streets can sometimes be abandoned. My last UrbEx video I did for my channel was on a house I used to live in that had been condemned, then forgotten by time. Access point was awesome, though I wished someone hadn't smashed the back door down, but yeah, I think I was the first legitimate person in there for at least 6-8 years. Pretty trashed, but has a lot of my past history behind it, so it was kind of a trip :D. Anyway, sorry for the lengthy message, and... SUBBED :D.
John Rosen Nebraska represent! I'm just minutes from Omaha, also in a rural area and this summer I plan on exploring again! Always had a fascination with abandoned places! Crossroads Mall is somewhat abandoned, but not entirely, lol. -James
I also do storm chasing in the spring and summer!

Omaha! Yeah, I try to find them all over here and there are quite a few along the train tracks in South O
I remember exploring my old house two years after I moved out, the bank took our house so we pourpously trashed it and drew on the walls before we moved out, it felt so awesome when going back in.
The first minute of the video had me laughing. Love your channel!
hello! i really love exploring, like, i love exploring everything. recently found out people explore abandoned buildings and i so wanna start doing that! ty for some tips :3
Absolutely awesome video mate & it's exactly what I do here in Australia
Finally someone who lives in the middle of nowhere and can find a place like this
theres an abandoned 50s house a mile away from me, theres a drop tile attic yet to be searched. however there was some paranormal things that happened there, my friend found a babydoll with burnt looking skin and x marks. very creepy
Very informative video! Wish I had found this a few years ago though :P
There was an abandoned golf course near where my Great Grandmother used to live, since she passed me and my mother moved into her house, I used to go to the golf course everyday, I never vandalised, but now, all the buildings got torn down, because they are building a park there now, but before then, one vandal burned down one of the 2 story employee builds for the golf course, made me sad.
Hey awnser when you see but I'm 13 and I have 2 abandoned houses by my house and another one on the highway the one house on the rode has a hole in the front door and I seen a 40 year old tv it also has a padlock I wanna go in and I know Noone lives there is it safe to go alone it's. Only 12 feet by 12 feet and the chimney is in the middle its like 1950s
it's a shame some places don't do like special tours so people could look round taking video or pics and other people are there to do with the building to look after it, just a thought
0:22 lol that part was so random and funny
The problem with 28Days later is that they give away locations by using the Town/village names.
Check out the app 8Pins on google play and the iphone appstore, they plan to map out all abandoned locations across the US and more!
Cameron Morey does it also show places in Canada?
Cameron Morey I'll check it out.
doesn't work
thats the lazy way out. True explorers will research and find them
im a vandal thanks for the tips ;)
6:34 i also agree that hospitals and asylums r cool to explore..My favorite too.
I liVe iN DetRoIt WhErE aRe The AbAnDoNed AreAs?
bib😭😭🤣
Is helped so much thank you!
I really enjoyed the jokes! Good stuff and great video
I love u man. That's where slap the bass is from. But great video thank u. I wanna start filming but find people new friends to do this with how?
Is lock picking a grey area in urbex?
By my town There is a abandon laundry place
You should try napoleonic tunnels or ww2 batteries. They’re quite cool
I have found all the places that people took pictures off, and posted in Facebook groups in Denmark. Just though the few details that they left, and then going on google earth for several hours. I like exploring to take pictures
I literally can't find any places near me except for this 1 abandoned pub which is blocked off now so if anyone can help I'm in England, essex
That was very helpful and I have hard time too finding place to explore
Graffiti makes bandos better!
I want to do it in the UK
just to see new things
I love old buildings and rare things
It will be a great thing to see
people in the 360 degree camera scene can also upload more rural 360 clips to street view to show those non shown areas on google maps. The insta360 one X camera scene does this....very handy for those who wish to share the whole view in videos also when you save it in VR as you can save in a few formats. Have you not played with the 360 cameras at all Lee?....by the way...loving your work :]
I live by a school and that gym would be lit to skate in it got abandoned like 7-8 years
The Irish countryside is a fantastic place to find abandoned buildings I can find tons just going for a walk
Nice one Lee. Pretty much nailed it all .
Cheers Wayne, I'm glad you found it helpful :-)
Xplosion51 what do you mean?
Xplosion51 I assume you are feeling inadequate/lacking in some area of your life........please don't take it out on Lee, go somewhere else, I wish you well xxx
I do this stuff for my photography and everything he said at the start is the best advice
I think my state's bad for urban exploration. It's just a huge desert and the only abandoned places are ghost towns from the 1800's. I think I just need to go look for myself, but even trying to do research online to see if I can find schools or hospitals or asylums or anything, nothing comes up for miles and miles.
I'm in Utah and I feel the same. Did you ever end up finding anything?
'I Love you man', classic movie!
In regards to what film “slapa de bass” the movie is “I love you man”
We find loads in France to video for our channel, Google earth is excellent!
This was great thank you!!!
Does anyone know of any good locations in aurora colorado? Me and my buddy are looking for some houses or construction sights that arent active. We are just bored and want to go places, no destruction or anything.
What about if a door is closed but not boarded up but you walk up to it and open it. Would you go in or walk away??
I once entered an old ww2 abandoned jewish home, knew it was empty legaly since '44. Anybody there would be as much a tresspasser as I. (checked the adress prior) But the truth is, those windows were not yet broken somehow... it was weird, stuff has been barely touched if at all since I'd say the 60s probably some do gooders who waited for the family, then i found a window, it hasbeen recently covered in a foil but it was already unsealed... buuut the inner window was a loose plane of glass with only those triangle blades holding it... needless to say it was fun to do some repairwork for the opening after leaving, thankfully the strong rain covered all the sounds
Live in Texas gotta be something. But jasper cops can be different. And BC of the history its iffy.
i think its alright to break in if its like wooden boards in the old place the windows were other than that nooo
Interesting video, I agree with all you're points. :)
Graffiti makes it better
Very smart love.
Me and my friend have always been interested in exploring abandoned buildings, but I have a fear that we’ll come across a group of drug dealers or any type of suspicious people lol
Great overview - consider using a 360 degree camera like Insta 360 Air.
Theres an abandoned barn less than a 5 minute drive away from my house but thats the only place anyone that i know, knows where an abandoned place is
Okay I understand that it's not okay to vandalize abandoned buildings and if you're going to explore them to just explore them without damaging anything but I was wondering if it is okay to just salvage stuff from there to like sell or use anything wrong with that
Finding abandoned places its funny. One of my favorites places I went was a hospital that I found out from a cashier that just happened to know.
theres one place near me thats abandoned, brilliant place when you got he first time, but its all really open right next to a massive supermarket. like theres no rooms or dar bits to explore its pretty much 2 big rooms with no roof and boring second time around, i cant drive but i REALLY want to go as far as i can, but i can only pay for something if i know i can get in...
Awesome information thank you buddy
I checked out this video because I looked on Google of abanded places in my area and it actually showed me your video recently my dad's work told him to go and check out this place cuz he is a painter and they wanted to get his approval on whether they should rebuild the place or he could fix it up and paint it and I went with him there and there's a bunch of debris on the ground we are kind of iffy on what the place was the pace seem to look like a doctor's office but there was a church pew in it one man's trash is another man's treasure and I'm the woman who's tresher is their trash and I can easily repurposed things I can find so my mom when she was younger and her teen years that her and her friends went into an abandoned building and she found a skeleton key she still has to this day and I love it its butifull and I think it's pretty so one day I really hope I can Venture into another place and find something like that
I DO have one question though...say you guys found an abandoned place that you want to explore so you guys check if there's any open entry point because like you said in your video you guys "DO NOT BREAK IN IF THERE ISN'T ALREADY AN OPENING OR OBVIOUS ENTRY POINT." DO YOU GUYS STILL ENTER even if there's an opening and you guys see a sign that says "NO TRESPASSING?"
Fr cause I live on a dirt road and i little town theres literally no house and stuff around me but my friend have literally a whole bunch
A true gentleman, thanks
thanks dude this vid helped alot
Well now I'm gonna paint my name on every abandoned structure in your country, have fun with your diabetes sponsored by coca-cola.
haha just found this channel, with this video. made me laugh with your first clip! :)
I Love You, Man (2009)
No don’t break into it I only explore it if there’s any entrances but don’t vandals either
After a while you find yourself looking for such places the whole time! Certain features will put up a little flag in your head; A building with broken boarded up windows, a large building with part of its' roof missing in Google earth, heavily overgrown premises, and so on! I once found something odd in Google earth and within an hour I was there! It was an abandoned railway shed deep in woodland! And then I came across other Explorers I know viewing the same site. Great minds! But one thing about Google Earth - it isn't always up to date and I have found sites totally gone! But if you don't go to see for yourself - you will never know.
Pra galerinha de Sao Paulo, no interior do Estado tem uma fábrica abandonada chamada Boyes na cidade de Piracicaba
PIKA DEMAIS eu sempre vou. Tem um manicômio abandonado tmb, mas nunca cheguei a ir
californian here, ifs its popular its probably overrun by hipsters. if its recently abandoned itll be demolished within a year :(. on that note any southern californians here looking to create a urbex group HIT ME UP!
Good tips, I picked up one or two, but one of my go to sources was not mentioned - which requires a lot of independent work Or is used in conjunction with your tips. I'm looking forward to seeing if you mention it in a future video ;)
I guess you'll have to subscribe and see if it gets mentioned later in the series! :P - Thanks for watching the video, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Does the law change state to state cause I got some places I want to enter and they already have some access places but I don’t want to go to jail
