Hey Vonda thanks for watching! :-) Yes there were at least a few nice old things still remaining inside. I always like to look at the light switches and door knobs. :-)
I’d love to see these old houses as they were years ago. I’d live in one. I so wish I could be walking with you in these old places to really see them in person.
Lastima q estos abandonos de norte América tan vacíos ,chevere los de España Portugal Brasil q tienen todo y es alucinante ver todo intacto a pesar de décadas
What a great find, we never see the steel one piece sink with strainer its usually old porcelain over iron ones in the US. Lovely to see the sheets hung.
Hey Louise thanks for watching :-) Yes there were things in this old home i`d never seen before either. The sheets were perhaps hung to catch all the paint flakes hey?
@@urbexindigo5164 Here in the US they were hung to lower the ceiling height and trap warmth lower in the room. Newspaper was put under the linoleum and on Walls for blocking air drafts. Loved seeing it.
Wow this ones quite old. The rotary phone.... we had a sunshine yellow one when we were kids. When it took ages to dial friends which numbers you knew by heart! We saw one on display in an old pub. I asked my eldest what it was and how do you use it? ..........The response a blank expression, followed by 'well it has numbers.'👍🤔
There is a house my great-great grandparents built in Detroit , in the early 1900s, found the record that was in the old newspaper... have pictures of the house, it was big. Went there once (you have heard, I am sure the stories about Detroit, Michigan.. not safe in certain areas lol). I went anyway and a lady was sitting in her rocking chair with a s**t g*n . I left asap . Now the house is a parking lot. The old general store behind the house is still there but the house and the house next to it, gone :( so much history as my great-great grandfather built it and he came from Europe. I love history too much lol. Happy New Year and love your videos :) - binge watching these past few days :)
Holy Hell, now walking in to that would have made anyone leave asap!!! Did she say anything?? lol You are right about history and I love it too, just knowing that a home that had so many years of living and family in it can just sink behind trees and rot away or get bulldozed is quite sad.....Thanks for sharing your story Rachel, glad you are enjoying my videos. Happy New Year and thanks for watching :-)
Hey PCM thanks for watching and yes i really wish i could have found some history on this place. It seems as though it is forgotten. Although I`m thinking the house up the hill may be a part of the same property.
Hey Trkn56 thanks for watching :-) Yes indeed Australia gets bloody hot!!! But winters are very cold too, nothing like snow conditions but very cold enough for multiple fire places in the one home. Remember these homes were built before electricity and vented heating systes :-)
Hey Jen i know I so wish I had some info on this old place. I feel it may be the original homestead of a property that now has a newer place up the hill further. This one is just forgotten basically now.
Ask the residents of the neighboring house if they know anything about it. Was there a phone number on the phone? If so, researching that number may have yielded some clues. Good find. Nice video. Thanks for posting.
Hey Emmy Lou I did think about asking up the road but decided on just moving on. There was no phone number either. I do recall trying to look up a number from a different old house from 1993 and there was no history of that number online at least. :-)
The foundations, wall plaster, and wooden framing really speak to around 1900 middle class...nice size rooms, decent natural lighting for the time, and a combination of plaster/stucco walls with angles ceilings based on 1020s pressboard. The area that was chain linked fence made me think of chickens, kept close to the house to minimize depredations by dingos and the like. There is that turquoise paint again...late 40s early 50s...everything of any age that has been painted will have a layer of that colour no matter where in the world you are. Start checking if you doubt me, there must have been a huge overrun on it. I stripped a depression era folk art washstand, and among 7 layers of paint...there it was. I started stripping cedar panel in the basement of my 1870s home of the battleship grey oil paint...for obvious reasons, and there...under a cream layer was, you guessed it...turquoise. It had a revival in the 70s, and appears to be courting one this past summer season 2018. Great find...thanks for braving it for us. Please...stay safe out there.🖤🇨🇦
Yes indeed I have seen that paint a lot Tamarra! hahaha Why was it so popular? I actually like it too hahahaha :-) The sheets seem to be up to catch the paint flakes falling what are your thoughts? It must have been the final straw on moving out i`s say!! :-)
Urbex Indigo about the turquoise paint, I think some company did a serious over-run by mistake, and then advertised it into the “must have” colour of the year. Which layers it is in is almost archaeological on a timeline of when it was the in colour. In the 1950s it was that turquoise and something called “flamingo” the sheets seemed to be there to carch anything falling...and there seemed to be more than paint flakes to my eye. I think they bit off more than they could chew and just gave up. There may have been more damage than they anticipated. Or a big expenditure other than the house, and unexpected...or even an ailing Parent needing care, or an unexpected death leaving responsibilities. There are so many things that can offset our plans and projects.🖤🇨🇦
Looks like the place had started to decay while still occupied so they covered the ceiling with sheets to make it look better &/or to catch dust, flakes of paint etc.
Hey Nessa V :-) Well that was my only explanation too but it seems like a losing battle even from trying lol. I guess they gave up and got out while they could all those years back.
Hey Paul. Great find, huh? I noticed a neat little rocker for a child. It was cut out to look like a duck or swan. Both sides would have been the same, with a seat in the middle and the bottom of the duck or swan made to rock back and forth. I'm not the best at descriptions. We had these here in USA, in various animals, but haven't seen one in many yrs. How about opening cupboards and drawers to see dishes or silverware. Something I'm sure you don't care about. But....be good for us ladies. I think those sheets were nailed up to keep the ceilings from coming down! My opinion. Take care. Later......
Yikes, this one is on its last leg. I was wondering about that green gas can sitting right by the door. Glad you made it out of there unscathed and no spider bonnet! 😷☠🕸🍻
Yep lucky the roof is not fully collapse in this one! Still glad I got this one, very old and interesting spot hidden away. Cheers for watching Wendy :-)
I went to the lighthouse the other night & it was off the charts! I used some new EMF & other stuff & got readings where no elec. was up to 4 & beyond. The creepiest thing was when looking at the pics latter & seeing a tall figure in a black hood with a mean skull type face with long sharp teeth. Looks like it was looking at my box with the EMF/recorder in it. Then at the Keepers House it is always all dark since I've been here 6 years, that night 2 top rooms were dimly lite & you can see a woman in 1800s clothes leaning out the window & she wasn't alone. Also the room next to it had a weird looking thing. By the way all the windows were shut at the time! The same looking woman was also in a picture sitting on the steps at the front door. You can see her but also see through her and see the white railing behind her. Next to that building a tall, thin pale girl in a white night gown was staring wide eyed like in shock facing at least 4 other sprites. I got one deep scratch on my right arm. When I get paid I'm getting hard copies made. Haven't listened to the audio stuff yet. But that's what I did this week. I'd never been out there that late before, I will again but will wear long sleeves. (Like that will really help) When I get hard copies made is there a way I could show them to you? I'll look for apps on a phone I can get to edit & put videos up by phone. I have no computer yet. Been a crazy cool week ! Instead of being scared I'm fascinated. Though the pointed teeth thing is kinda major creepy.
@@urbexindigo5164 I will get hard copies. Then have to find phone apps that teach how to edit & put videos up, then will do!!! So excited ! Most folks would be scared, ha, ha, we live for stuff like this. I have 2 good web sites to learn from, thanks to Oddie. if one has a computer for now all I have is my phone. I have to get back to watching your cool ghost vids.! I have the ghost soldier pic I took at Gettysburg as a screen saver. 😁 Can I give you a shout out when I learn to do videos, maybe you'll get more subs. you sure deserve them.
This grand old lady is on it's last leg. It is a very old house that would have been a nice family home once upon a time. This is a dangerous place to explore. Very interesting find. Nature will reclaim this place one day. Its probably a home steader farm. Is there any place these graffiti artists can't find and tag? Would have loved to see it in its prime. Great explore.
Just a suggestion: When you explore these old run down properties with the possibility of toxic mold being present, maybe a wearing a construction mask or even better, a respirator, would be wise. I enjoy your explores!
Hey Rebel Urbex thanks for stopping bye! Glad you liked this one, was really cool to find a hidden one like this. Pretty bad shape but heaps of character and decay. :-)
Good comments on a good explore. Especially about the muslin as part of wall covering. I was reminded of a "decorator's" ideas -- a friend of mine did that to add "elegance." Obviously that was not the case here. Thank you.
Hey thanks for watching Marcia and this is why I like to ask you guys to leave comments because those sheets I had no clues about other than thinking there were put up to catch the flaking paint from the ceiling lol. But they look like they were put up a long time ago!
Cool find lots of stuff in there to look at multiple layers of paint peeling,sheets hanging from the ceiling haram style,I have the same cane chairs as the ones in the second room ,crazy paint job in the bathroom,can't see this wreck ever being renovated nice find bud cheers.👍🍻
Thanks for watching mate! :-) Yeah I think who ever does own it or property it falls on just uses it as a shed until it fall down. Wish I had some history about it though, would be interesting.
Are just watching 110 yrs old o my.word it is ment to be left for sll to see grifgiti this pisses me off kids no respect cant put old head on young shoulders what uoes round comes around who ever did this cant wait till they have kids of thete own and there kids are doing same difference is hope kids do it to there s o my god its make me so angry.any way back to you bless be careful are youve just ssid grew up with one of then in youre house im 59 yrs old ive seen some relecks reveal youre age cheeky i.kkow but intresting this was once a beautiful place struggled seeing cos lighting not so good but thank7ou so much for sharing this bless you take care always
Hey Lisa! Yes the wall phones I can remember as a child and teenager as my parents had one above the fridge on the wall haha. I probably spoke to my first girlfriend on it too! lol. This old home is in bad shape but tells a great old story too. The sheets seem to be to catch the paint flakes falling off the ceiling. :-)
What an awesome find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a very old house. Sadly it won't last much longer. It is going to rot anyway so people should save the antiques. I wish you had opened the cabinet drawers and doors ;)
Yes watching the video back there were a few cupboards I should have snooped inside! :-) House wont last too much longer but who knows hey. Was hoping for some really cool old furniture. :-)
Some places just "Feel" old and that's one. I think your dating is correct. An anthology of alterations in the plumbing and fittings. How many lives lived there? perhaps three generations. A forgotten attic of a place. mists of time. Well Done
Hey Gary! :-) Yeah I wish I could have found some history on this place. Must have definitely had a few generations live here. If the walls could talk mate! Thanks for watching :-)
Always upsetting to see the vandals handiwork!! This house being soooo old, I would love to know the history!! Young people today don't know about the wall phones and other rotary dials. My dad worked for the phone company here so we always had different kinds of phones in the house growing up. I did a little research on the vintage duck rocking chair and the one I found that looked most like it was from the 1930's!!! Very cool! Another great explore!!
Wow thanks so much Mary Ann! :-) I did not even notice the duck rocking chair! lol This is why I ask for you guys help haha. Cool, when I saw the door slightly open I was really hoping it was filled with more cool old furniture and stuff. It has been used as a shed though it looks. Bummer.
Hey 2669steph thanks for watching! :-) Yeah that graffiti was nothing more than kids drawings which is a shame! lol. Haha glad there are no basements here in Australia to fall into! ;-)
Loved that wooden swan, and the horse picture would have gone home with me! I would never have left that bump in the sheet alone! Would have found a stick and poked it! My cousin found a large bump in the ceiling of their old farm house. Held a basket up to catch the plaster and they pushed on the bump.....a pile of snakes fell out! I love to hear her tell that story!!
Bayla that is exactly why I was not going to poke the bump! lol. It looked like something sleeping in a hammock lol. Yeah that little horse thing on the wall was pretty cool, very old too! Thanks for watching :-)
It was darker than I expected and I forgot the larger light lol. They needed to get those new wall paper roles on the walls asap! Probably thought not worth it while they were going through the floor boards! haha. Hey Mike thanks for watching and helping get my channel out there too mate! :-)
From the way the doors were made & hardware plus the way the doorways were made with the top wood extending beyond the frame that's the way my grandfather from Scotland built his house, over 100 yrs ago. So I'd say it's easily 100 or more years old. The 'sheets' probably have plastic behind them & they may be filled with water. There were some books on the bookcase that might have a name in them seen as you were walking out. I wouldn't go back in there. Didn't like seeing the gas can right by the door. Think someone is planning on torching the place? Glad you got out of there ok.
Yeah I though the same thing about the gas can! lol. Seemed a bit out of place. I agree that this could even be a bit older too, so many old features that are well before 1900. Thanks for watching GhostCity :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 I think you're right, I think the house is way over 100 yrs old. Shame wots happened to it. Glad you made it out safely. That gas can sitting at the front door doesn't look good at all. If it goes up in flames, we'll know it was probably set.
Great video..glad to get new Notication, had to watch it first thing after getting up this morning. (after taking the dog out to potty first..lol) Really old house, in bad shape though. Be careful, parts look dangerous. I love the real old ones & items left in them. Looking forward to the next one !
Thanks Shirley! :-) Yeah I though those sheets were going to fall down and cover me with God only know what! lol. Pity this old house was basically used as a shed and no real old homely things left.
Hey Jo thanks for watching :-) I know, was really hoping I could provide a bit of info. I really think that this house maybe the original homestead of the newer home that sits up further on the hill. Maybe its considered the same property location but is now forgotten in the trees.
Hey Marlo thanks for stopping by! Yeah there is something about the old worn down falling apart house I enjoy. This one had enough character left to really enjoy. Was hoping for some cool old furniture inside though! :-)
What's at 12:09 ? 16 boxes of Incpea ? Maybe the town library could know the date of the home. Ck cematary records. Get the past owners names, ect that way, hope that helps. But you've prob. already done that. That house was so well built, it was loved at one time. Sad to see it going.
Looking at the wiring, power points and plastic conduit I'd recon it's been partly rewired in the 1980's. The steel sheeting on the floor of the 2nd room you entered looks like "pressed metal ceiling panels" I think were used from 1890 to 1940. The spray bottles of Round-Up weed killer in the kitchen look very recent as there's no major dust on them. The roll of chicken wire looks pretty new to. Judging by the house in general as you said it was probably lived in until the 1990's.
Hey Tim your spot on with the pressed tin now I look back at it! :-) And it fits in well with the age of this place. Shame it has been just used as a shed since 1990. I was hoping there was cool old furniture and things inside :-)
EARTH ANGEL😇 SWEET wannabe country home!? SeCluded with lush trees and private! May they wanted to escape the big house and just hang out here!!!🤔. ONE part looks like 1800s, other part has 1930s ceilings and doors. Attempt to restore maybe, but too much work. Probably just left it.SUCH a state of disrepair!!😧. HOPE that U wear a 😷 mask in these places!!!😍👍
Yeah I think it must have been the original homestead of the property and is now used as a makeshift storage shed. Cant see anyone even trying restore this. It will turn into rubble. Yeah I do wear a mask if really dusty and musty :-)
Great video! I don't pay graffiti any attention .. unless it's good! Half of my parents house was built in the mid 1800..The windows were the same as there!They hung bed sheets over the ceilings until they finished rebuilding and adding on! To stay a little warmer!Until my dad put in lower ceilings! Thanks mate!👍🌟🙋🕊️
Very crude old house almost looks like it was used as a place for hunters if it was in the woods. Glad you didn't fall through the floor but I don't think you would have fallen very far with no basement. Thanx
Hey Gerald thanks for watching :-) I wish I could have been able to find out history on this as it is indeed very intriguing regarding where it is, it is like it is off the grid and forgotten even though it was once used as a home that had power. I`m thinking it was the original homestead of the larger new home up near the top of the hill.
Hi Friends.Yesterday night i enter a pretty one.First floor was with a lot of Wood against the door.Second was open but then i think i Hear a radio or something..I just watch the terror movie The Noon but anyway i was drunken so i have fun.I know there's a lot of vintage ítems inside.i Will be back.i respect And salute you explorers from Oz.From Básque Country 🤙
Hey Alfonso thanks for watching! Be careful of squatters living in the old homes. They will put a radio on just like anyone else to trick people there is someone home. I had a similar scenario not long ago. Cheers mate! :-)
Wow that's ones old. I always try to imagine people living in these places. That very narrow room was weird or maybe just the camera angle. Nice video as always 🇬🇧
Hi Laurie thanks for watching! :-) I actually think the last occupants were trying to catch the paint flaking off the ceilings by pinning those sheets underneath! lol that must have been the last straw before they moved out haha. I guess 1990 is nearly 30 years ago now! Geez! lol
Maybe croc infested at one time because it sure looks run down. Good thing no dead possums mate, croc could of chase him in there, always be on the lookout mate!!!!! Those croc's could be pretty dodgey at times mate. Remember mate be on the lookout Saltys Saltys Saltys!!!!! Enjoyed "Old Thing" keep up the good work.
🤞🤞ohhhh good find. Hidden weed too. On vacay. But coming back tonight to reallly look. Yes. Careful 👍I missed you. I missed these Green door😳nothing🙄😅Nothing ..I worry about asbestos n floors. Keep moving. Nooo ya what. If that sheet falls are the sheets do to the ceiling falling on em big sink for that?? old. I still have a blank rotary dial heavy heavy. heavy and ear talk piece and the cord gets all twisty twisty people at my home always say IT WORKS. Great old phone hang on my fully remodeled stainless steel appliance kitchen modern. Then on wall is n old casino heavy duty and heavy dial/ Rotary phone. I love it. 25 and younger have no clue as 😂😂😮🙄🙄🙄what’s that. And u still use it. They find it so FUN haha😂😂😂 will never take it down lmbo. Hubby just found a similar one on antiques Ebay. Hahaha. Yes you have made me now surely that I am going keep it. Every one comes over asked an I use it. Yes thx. This just made me love it more awe. I MISSED YOU. I only peaked at muebler a few times. It would have me feel as I cheater😇😇😂😍😍😍. Funny. My hubby’s laughing as We’re in hotel gettin ready. He listening too😱Nice to have you b💋💋yippies. I’m sure hoping your keeping channel
Hey Happy Wife! Yes i`m keeping this channel haha, only had a break. The old phones are indeed a thing to marvel at and appreciate. :-) Things were so much simpler back then! hehe
Yeh she’s old .Those old Bakelite light switches aren’t seen much anymore. That phone took me back .Remember when STD meant subscriber trunk dialling. Nice work sniffing out the joint.
Yeah I`m the mystery mowing man, I bring along my mower and kindly mow the grass of any needy abandoned places like this. :-) Na I think the home up the track may be using this as a storage shed. Thanks for watching :-)
This was a rich find !...... plenty of history :) . I was immediately struck by the the sheets of muslin draping from the ceiling. I have seen this many times in old Victorian era houses- they used sheets of muslin as a wallpaper base. I am not sure this is the case with this house- but the technique was to lay a smooth sheet of plaster over lath. Cotton muslin was then glued over it, and then wall paper glued to the muslin. Often they stopped with the muslin sheets which were often decorated as a wall paper itself-- flowers, designs etc.. When the walls and ceilings begin to fail (leaking rain water etc) the glue dissolves- and we see the results. I like to take 'cuttings' of sections of such wall papered houses. This, of course, is done pre-demolition or remodeling. I will use a sharp knife and section out a large square of usually ornate wall paper, only to find several layers of other paper and muslin backings beneath each layer....like pages in a book. One caution- be very careful in handling these materials. In the 1800's it was a common practice to mix strychnine and arsenic into the wheat paste used as wall paper glue. Mice and rats loved to chew these papered wall, and it was used as a deterrent. But many young children liked the sweet taste as well, and died of this poisoning too. Handle old wall paper with care. . I smiled at he old rotary wall phone. It rotates in the opposite direction of of phones in the UK and the Americas. I lived for awhile in a house in New Zealand with just such an old phone- it drove me bonkers to try and make a call using it- everything was reversed and I invariably made a muck of any dialing attempts. . Looks like the plumbing was added later- no fussy attempts at those faucets..lol . A neat find.... thanks for sharing it. .
Ana you have solved yet another mystery I think. Those sheets freaked me out! I think there was one other home I saw it but only one room. I was thinking maybe they were trying to catch the flaking paint off the ceilings lol. Yeah I grew up with the rotary phone just like that one and I think it is actually still on the wall at my mothers house! haha. Thanks again for the indepth knowledge :-)
And I only thought it was water that went down the drain in the opposite direction, I didn't know the phone rotary dial went the other way too. Thanks for sharing this info 👍🇦🇺.
ana ixtar They also used arsenic to get a particularly popular green hue in wallpapers and draperies...not the best think for kids to put in their mouths.🖤🇨🇦
Ana I have lived in Latin America and now South America for the last 17 years. I have put sheets on the ceiling to keep bugs that live in the corizo {similar to bamboo) from falling in my food! My next house will have a cement roof ! I hate bugs!!!!
