What is looks like is that at one time there were a husband and wife here. The wife left, by dying or leaving, and the man lived there up until his death. He more than likely was removed by the state for his own benefit and ended up dying in hospital. No matter what, this is one of the saddest youtube videos I have ever seen.
Wow, this was really thrilling to watch. I come from Norway myself so it was quite interesting to watch. I wonder where this is, it said Porsgrunn and Oslo but I'm not so sure it's from those places. Also quite creepy how this place is abandoned. Everything is left behind, laundry, the table is set with dishes and so on. Wish I knew why they abandoned such a beautiful place. Looks like it's been a farm with generations living there. Sorry for my bad english but hope I'm understandeable. Hope to see more like this!
Awesome find, those are some of the best finds! No vandalism, everything still left like they will return any moment! Any ideas on what happened to the previous residents?
+datapakx25 There are a lot of explorers in the US that make it a point to not touch anything. Please do not clump all of us together. There are many respectful explorers. The ones that trash any old house are usually junkies. No need to swear
+Sharon Mullins I not tell all people wandalize and destroy in your country, but a hole bounch do that, its easy to see how most acting. only see some abandoned video and you see self most part of them is so totaly wrecked.
Nice lumber stacked to dry. Bee keeping frames and extractor, the old guy was very able. But none of can win against time. I can tell a lot by looking at a man's work shop, and I like this guy, he did things well. There are a lot of old people in nursing homes, who live on and on, and refuse to sell their old homes. He may be one of them, or left unexpectedly, and never returned.
Thank you very much. Some stuff there is very old and some stuff is not too old. the blue hydraulic log splitter isn't very used or very rusted at all. For some reason I was expecting to see more shoes, but perhaps they took them when they left. Glad to see old places treated with some respect versus folks that paint, smash and destroy.
This video is just heartbreaking to watch. Time is slipping away from us just like it did with this Family. I am sad now...I just want to cry. What Country was this filmed in?
In the end this belong to it older man... hermiting on his own until he died.. no family no money.. depressed and full of pain.. what I've learned that in morgues there's plenty of people who are not claimed.. life is so sad and time goes so fast and we never think that will be in that position.. but when you find all your family members dying off you're the one left behind... it's only a matter of time
People need to leave stuff the way it was. it may not be world known history but that's someone's history and when you touch, take or even vandalize it takes away from its history. Have some respect that's some ones belongings and this isn't for the poster of the video this is for the people that don't have the respect for the amazing history someone left for you to find.
This is a view into the life (lives) of hard working people who seemingly had no one behind to keep a very large farm going. Shows a lifetime of work and preparation for seasonal variance. Humbling, yet glorifying, and set to some brilliant music. Made me wish I had known these people. Well done!
l must say with your choice of music and not talking all the way through it along with some snap shots, this vedio was wonderful. Only thing missing was the smells. A climps into the life of others who are probably no longer with us. It leaves us wondering what happened to them and how every thing seen here is a reflection into their lives. I recall once as a young teen walking down some rail road tracks in the hill country of Virginia, where I was visiting just for a couple of days and never been back to sence. I came up on a old house abandon like this but it was just a house with out so many other buildings. There were no roads to the dwelling, their main source of travel was by train. Like here the house had been set free of its inhabitants long before my arrival. The most memorable thing I can recall was the bible and eye glasses left on the mantle above the fire place, a coat hanging nearby. All of this is a reminder to us, that we are simply passing through and one day we each will leave our momentoes behind for others to witness. Life here on earth is so much more than just things. It's a moment in time where the most important thing of all is how well we loved each other.
i have that exact same stove. made by the federal stove company out of chicago illinois. they went out of business in 1922. interesting that it made its way to Norway. mine is in my tiny house on wheels. it weighs 300 pounds and can only except an 11 inch piece of wood max length. the flue and ash door is missing on mine. the tractor looks like a Deutz D5006 built from 1954 to 1965 the cab over and the farmall were later additions from the 1980s. how ever that snowblower walk behind tractor was not built until the late 70's the engine is not seized up and the gas in the tank is not yet caramelized. which would age the machine in the mid to late 80's. there is a plastic bottle in there. they did not start manufacturing those plastic juice bottles until the late 80's to early 90. from what i can piece together. this was a very unassuming family that lived there. the male of the house had a wife and a teenaged boy, they also had a handy man from time to time. he out lived his wife. hard to speculate about the boy. all though the boy may have left. he married his wife in the 1950's.by the way i suspect that the man was a refuge from germany after the war. i would say that the husband and wife died of old age in the 1980's but some one kept coming back until the early 1990's. i wounder if it was the boy and soon after the boy just stopped coming back. i would say the boy is now in his 50's. thank you datapakx25 for that wonderful stroll of this farm.
+TheSolx1 That was long and interesting comment, have never seen that federal wood stove before ty for explain. Its not a snowblower behind that tracktor its wood cutter. Ty for watcing.
+datapakx25 at time frame 8:25. its a snow blower. sorry about the long comment. for me it is far more interesting to piece together a history. i have zero interests in collecting things. the mystery of the life and times of people are absolutely educational and amazing.
+datapakx25 10 horsepower, 32 inch wide, Thank you for the video and its good that you closed all the doors you opened. It makes us wonder the rest of the story, did the farmer just get old and go off to another living place?
What Happened it's like they vanished from face of earth no relatives made a claim very strange. ? 1996. Your getting some strange anomalies like magnetic interference on your camera
One man's life & work left in shambles ,it leaves me with so many questions. The music is wonderful , it really brings out the emotion on this one. Just lost my dad so maybe seeing it in a different light. Very well put together video.Let's all try to be happy while were still here?
All I can see is Pain, The pain of loosing ones Home, One persons family owned Farm that had been theirs since the 1800's.I see hope vanished. I am an American of Norwegian Descent. My Grandparents were a proud proud people. they fought tooth and nail for all they had. I believe all people were at one time proud. That our governments stolen all dignity that the working class had given to themselves thru Hard work,unions that we fought to get.Threw out with the trash we need to start fighting again. The Rich will continue to strip us of all dignity offering us Jobs of servitude. Meaningless hand outs to keep us in line. Keep us fighting amongst ourselves over race and poverty. Dangling a carrot in front of our noses. This need not be our future. There is no more to loose. we have lost all our fore fathers fought to leave for us. We gave our rights as human beings away for what to feel secure. I never felt insecure. till they took my right to bear arms, my right to a GOOD Job.My right to travel freely, My dignity. I would die today if I thought it would give others a chance for the life we lost.
I salute you sir , you,ve survived long enough to observe the pattern of life , I have seen these circumstances happen time & again in my own once extended family , now it,s spinning down to me & as it is life,s demographics occurring , I can,t stop it as I,m part of it . In short , life,s a bitch & all we can do is live it , that,s all we,ve got . God save & bless children , think on .
Looking at this vid i get a sense that the people that lived her were elderly and one of them passed away.Say the husband and the wife just could not handle the place on her own.or they both passed and the family took what they wanted and left the rest to rot.sadly this is all too true in society today,everything is disposable,even your grandparents.It looks like the old man was used to working the land ,hunting ,fishing ,trapping and working with his hands .In later years he /they became a bit of a horders but the older generation didn't throw away stuff that wasn't totally broken. Still sad to see the end of somebody's life work.
Time marches on. I bet there's a great story behind that old place. Old couple living their whole life there and one dies and the other carries on till they just can't do it alone and a social worker takes them away or a friend checks on them one day and finds they have passed away. They have a small funeral and that is that. Sad.
Finding ones lifetime of treasures, is a quick glimpse of his or hers past, present, future's meaningful commitment to dreams come true. Thank you for your dedication to details of the past!
I'd like to have those Model T ford coils shown (little rectangular wooden box looking items that has the contact points on top). That place is a virtual gold mine with all the antique tools and equipment.
A lonely old farmer dies. Servicemen collect his body and buried and the farm house stayed abandoned. in 20 years nobody did anything because this is not exactly their job. Now if a homeless family occupy the house, clean it and make is nice again, the authorities throw them away. Thank you for sharing.
Its suicide musica....lol but however, I like it. I find it absolutely astounding that sometimes it is as though the inhabitants just got up from what they were doing and walked out of life. Period. Interesting filming angles. I know nothing about everything, especially filming but I really find it appealing, the way you filmed. Thanks and I would love more. :).
is it wrong of me that I would have taken some stuff like the first picture on table, etc and cherished it? I don't think so. it's history and will be gone to waste one day...
lovely music suits the video very well.. get the real abandoned sad feeling .. wonder what happened to the family who lived here.. so many stuff just left behind.. great find.. thanks for the tour
+All Ball Yeah they can. I used 11 year old "AA" batteries once in a flashlight, they had been kept in my grandmother's house. I put them in a small Maglite and worked fine.
I would give anything to be able to go anywhere and just explore like that. I think it's amazing to imagine what the people did at all the abandoned places...If walls could talk!!!
If someone could buy that property there's more than enough antiques there to pay them right back... I seen nearly around $100,000.00 easy if you sold it all off cheep... I'm sure there's more that I didn't see... The owners are setting on a small fortune. But maybe they just don't need the money...
A small fortune, you say? Hundred grand you say? I bought this last year, from some real dishonest types, wich lied about everything and really f'd me over. Since this vid were made, the ravens have picked it clean, just trash left, some of em even steal the trash :( What sort of country do you live in? I might like to do some exportin. If youre in the market for some vintage tincans full of used nails we can do business ;)
Not Abandoned. This is very common in close rural families. They raised the children and finished out there last days in the family home. They did not end up in a lonely nursing facility. The children inherited the farm and built a more modern home on the far side of the property and left mom and dads home intact. This was a happy ending. This is very hard for city dwellers to understand. City dwellers put mom in nursing home then upon her passing inheriting money this is why they cant understand family farms. Its obvious this man filming is Trespassing.
I highly doubt this. These houses are re-used for generations, very commonly, in Norway. This looks like the main building could date from the 1800's or early 1900's. Sturdy and everlasting buildings. Also the cost of "just building a new house" is incredibly huge in this country. No way that a property like this would be able to fund it. It's just old and abandoned. It's not a mystery. Someone still owns the properly, that's for sure - but that doesn't mean they care about the old buildings.
What a video. This family's decades of living, you find yourself wanting to sneak back in time to be a witness to this farm. And on the farm you don't throw ANY THING away. Because on the farm you might need that one thing you saved for someday.
+markhinr My neighborhood looks much like this farm. Most of my neighbors have left Michigan for a job.We have many beautiful farms like this one abandoned. Left with everything still inside as most could not afford to take there things when they left. They barely had enough to leave on.
+markhinr Name a place where scavengers won't eventually come by and rip out all the copper wiring and plumbing...let alone leave machinery and antiques.
So hard to understand why someone is hanging clothing and the next day everyone is just gone. I can understand a person living alone and dying but what could have happened here?
Ok so I'm not feeling sad. Enjoyed the video, all the things there just like the ole guy wanted them. I think he passed on just like he wanted too. and I subbed because of the moment of you guys tying the shed back closed. Integrity is everything in this world. There's not many on this media outlet with that trait. thanks for the video
Thank you for taking us through this most interesting place. This could not be taken in America or it would have been trashed and looted. Good work. Yes, it does look lonely...
Beautifully done - love the music as well. What a perfect find - looks like it's 'frozen in time', doesn't it? I'm surprised at so many rude comments posted at this site - no need for that - Why not just visit and admire the work that went into this. Thanks for posting this.
Absolutely amazing...specially to see all those lovely old things of times long gone and passed....still intact...certainly a " Time Capsule " ~ Lovely Video indeed..
MrRichochet - Not sure,but the composer probably committed suicide very soon after he finished the composition.He must have lost his entire family in a plane crash,just before his house burnt down & was paralysed in a car crash.That music must have been inspired by extremely depressive events!..
Thank you for sharing from Minnesota USA. Wonderful capture. A great time capsule. I can imagine Mother putting the kitchen curtains in the 1950's. Maybe the couple inherited from their patents and grandparents. Those wood inside the walls looked over a hundred years old in the main house. A working farmstead with a good creek. :D
It sad to me people work all there life and all the stuff they love get left behind after there passing and it gets wasted or someone trashes it . But the owners don't get to reality to in joy it before they pass on .
It is always a little sad to watch these old abanded homes, frozen somehow in time, but if noboby cares or can take over, it will end in decay. I did not like the trap, whatever it should catch, horrible way of treating animal's, living in the wild.....
Janne Petersen traps with teeth have been illegal for decades in the US. There are regulations governing trapping and equipment. Most states have a 24 hour trap check unless it's a kill set. Trapping has drastically changed since the 80s.
I watched almost all videos available on RU-vid of abandoned places. This especially touched me, made me sad and wondering how can there be so much sadness and loneliness in that house. In the 17:46 has several frames, to me it seems screens for stamping clothing or something else.
Thank you for another good video. Keep up the good work. I hope that you ignore those who have negative things to say about your wonderful work. They aren't worth thinking about. It's a shame that you don't delete these negative views (and cussing) as one other urban explorer does. If this farm were in Australia it would have been trashed just like in many other countries. I also love the music that you put to your videos.
Hi Ty for that , yes i ignore them i dont care what they say about my work i try to give the best in my explorings . with out mutch bullshit talk and self filming. instead i show the place and the video talk. Ty for like my videos.
+datapakx25 I also enjoy you Videos. You should give a Fu... about all those stupid ppl... You do a great job. I wish good luck and much fun for your next Adventures and exploring. :-)
Some people take those old tools, saws, etc., and put them on their walls displaying a collection of old tools. It looks awesome. Also, when you have a wood or coal stove burning, that can create dust. I think it was a great video ! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
Some people went back to the countries that they or their parents came from. We've lost so many loved ones/friends and family... Missing & deceased. No one would understand unless they lived it. We have no one. The children were kidnapped in the United States and I wear the scar's from when I nearly lost my life shortly after the abduction of the children and the theft of my identity at that time. We asked the police to arrest the people living in my husband's house, but the criminals were living in the beautiful home so they must be the nice people. Wrong!!! His first wife is among the missing. It's too horrifying & mortifying. Maybe the people who were there came back to what they knew or remembered. Maybe they had children and they perished or went missing & so maybe they have the manufactured in Wisconsin USA because someone sent it to them or more likely they brought it back with them. We are finding things out that no one ever told us.. somebody should have said something... somebody should have told us.
Amazing music! Thank you for sharing. This is becoming the new normal. Like a Plague but only striking the whole world. So sad. Again, thank you for sharing.
Some poor old man living there alone not bugging anybody at all happy and content , the government thought he would be better off in a old folks home so they came in force dragging him off , How he is dead !
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I wish dat I could've showing this to actual owners...wat happened with family dat staid there?😢😢😢😢😢😢😢..I truly hope dat they aren't dead..😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Captain Howdy maybe the owner is in prison for some crime... Or maybe he/she died and offspring doesn't want it but keep taxes paid or owner is in some mental institution??? Who knows eh... And if the owner is alive and keeps the taxes payed but has no interest in returning It will remain this way.... Of no taxes are ever paid wouldn't it eventually be put up for auction by the state or county???
+4CAMan even indoors if it's windy outside it will kick up a layer of dust over everything inside. Maybe. A noticeable amount in one day but over time it will be heavy this is why I don't agree with no people no dust
