Abandoned Hillbilly Mansion Frozen In Time | Flesh Hanging Everywhere! 

I know exactly how this comes to be. I lost my husband of 23 years 6 months ago I never had children of my own he had 2 when we married. The things we built and collected over the years don't matter anymore. We were so proud to build our own house ourselves, and now I am surrounded with his image in every corner. It is so hard to care about something when the best part of you is gone. It feels like I'm just awaiting my turn. So sorry to be such a sad sack, but the first ten minutes brought me to tears.

What a pity that so many beautiful things have been left abandoned in this house. Much of this should be saved and cherished once again. Unfortunately the back stories of these locations are often sad ones. This has been a lovely home at one time. Now it is a real time warp. Love the way you put lots of time into your explores with great commentaries in them. Another winning video Sam and Jess

It began as a Proper Texas Chain saw horror movie, then to a truly amazing home. Great job Sam and Jess!! I'd have Ran out lol .

A beautiful space of history that needs healing and lots of cleansing and sunlight. I hope the son finds peace and consolation. Grief is such a hard journey to travel. 💞

The evolution of aging and loneliness. You can tell it like many you show were once immaculate. Im watching my parent go thru this exact thing. The house was always spotless and immaculate ant as we all moved away they slowly start hoarding things and stop cleaning from old and tired and a bit sad and lonely. It slowly everyday looks like this and they don't want help they don't like feeling a burden. Or their lifelong mate passes away and they slowly give up and stop cleaning and they start compiling everything

The bowl and jug in the rooms were for "washing" before bed and in the morning, the jug would have warm water in it and you would pour it into the dish and use a washcloth to wipe over your hands, face, neck, armpits and feet when showers weren't a thing, and people would bathe only once a week because there wasn't running hot water they'd have to boil water on the fire to fill a bath then usually the whole family would take turns in the same bath water (yuck) sooo the jug and bowl were essentially for washing in between baths that's why each room had one cause you'd just do it in your room not the bathroom... weird and gross but that's what they had to do back in that era. I hope this helps answer that for you 😉

So, so, sad that the son couldn't bring himself to go back into the house. So many lovely items just left to rot away...... (as well as all the meat🤮) Thank you for being able to stomach this explore for us as it was amazing to see. Take my hat off to you both on this one 👍😁💜

So I have literally watched probably every explore on RU-vid by all kinds of urbex...but you guys! Man, the energy you share totally comes across the screen...Jess you are so beautiful and so brave! Always the first to say "let's go in there"! I've binge watched every video from you guys. Your style is so much better than any other urbex because you take your time..you tell the story with the items and photos you take the time to look thru. Thank you for your work!! This one was a combo of freaky and beautiful. My fave I think! Also, we see the urine in bottles a lot in America when people get to ill to get up and go. So very sad. Thanks for another amazing video!!

What a once fantastic home. And the story of the son living in a caravan on the lawn, that is just macabre. What could have happened that the situation came to this? It must’ve been something really dreadfully catastrophic for so much wealth to be seemingly abandoned. Maybe someday we’ll get an update from you Jess and Sam - with some sort of resolution we can live with - for now it’s like we’re all upset for the man and what ever went so horribly tragically wrong. By the way I live in a beautiful place in a city. I have family and things went wrong. I live alone and this scares me. I won’t be hanging pigs and meat from the walls but I can’t care for myself. I hope/dream to be rescued by kind souls like you some day soon. It would be so nice to get the place, and myself returned to its original happy pleasant disposition. The shame and blame from others has left me in a state of protracted grieving and I’ve not fared well these past few years. Something about this video has opened me up to writing it down here. That is good. I really think you two are very sweet kind souls and I wish you much happiness. I wonder how your exploration experiences inform your daily lives and thoughts of your own futures. Be well kids! XO

Urine was used back in the 1800's to soften and whiten sheep's wool and linens that were freshly woven . I just came across your channel and I am extremely impressed by your camera skills with paying attention to details, well done. You have a new subscriber with me .

There are so many beautiful antiques in there that could be auctioned of for charity, enjoyed the video too, beats me why anyone would leave so many personal items behind

You guys are so awesome! I could sit here and watch you guys for hours and hours. I love your style of exploration as well as the way you guys engage with us viewers. Thanks so much for taking me along on your journeys. Thanks for all that you do for your subscribers. Sending love and light and stay safe out there....Love from Charlottesville, Va.

looks like my house when I first got it. 1820. Only had one round pin socket for electric. Just replaced the outside toilet seat today in the outhouse where I lived for 3 years when I first got it in 1996. Enjoy the little things.

Hi Jess and Sam, you have brought us another great explore...thank heaven we don't have smelly vision 👃xxx

Other explorers did this recently but their filming style is too fast and does not allow the viewer to see fine detail. Thanks for stopping the camera at key points as opposed to a quick pan around the room.

Incredible video but sad story, looked like a beautiful home at one point. Love seeing old photos of people who use to live in it. Thank you Sam and Jess for discovering this and sharing 🥰

He may board up the place but I think it's a shame he doesn't rescue what is saleable and see it goes to those who would cherish the pieces. The end result of boarding it up will be the collapse of it and everything inside will be smashed to pieces. Just saying....thanks for sharing, I love your videos.

You both do such an amazing job when exploring these places! You always take your time to show us everything possible! Great work to you both! As always can't wait for the next one! Cheers!

Don't they just have the beautiful way of exploring and editing their videos to turn them into such a beautiful story of sorts. I love their camera and editing work 💯💯✌❤🇦🇺

Scot-Irish Hillbilly here...ancestors since 1740s, Virginia & Kentucky....We were so poor no animal parts would have been left.....I became 'civilized' after reading Huckleberry Finn', & moved to remote Montana....new subscriber here!

The pitchers and bowls on the dressers in the rooms are old wash basins. They would fill the pitchers in the morning and set out in their rooms to warm. They would fill the bowls to wash themselves. And toss the water out the window!

So...very mixed impression of this Explore!...The Piano's were beautiful, The Dressers & Wardrobes; still in good condition...& then there is the "Hanging Meat"!!!...(laughter)...Very well preserved meat!...I'm sure that this was one of the Strangest Places for you, Sam&Jess!...Think I would be heading to the nearest Hotel for a Shower!!!...As Always, Take Good Care!...🌹😊🥰👍!...

Some places are very weird. The family had many sets of lovely blue and white dishes as well as other sets of floral dishes. Cabinets and dressers were in bad shape but were once nice. Like that piano that was carved wood. Thank you again! I enjoy your videos! 🌸💙🐌

The three different blue design wallpapers in the first house is beautiful and had to be expensive back in the day. @ 37:43 that vase looks like a Wedgeworth and 33:15 with the pink perfume bottles and gold hair set with leather case worth quite a bit...I hate to see that all the beautiful art, vases, dishes and miscellaneous things in this house will be wasting away. Hopefully the family member will change his mind and remove from the house before he close it up....Great find!👍🏼

What a tragedy. So many beautiful things. Deeply sad and beautiful.

Love the backround music you chose for this explore. Very fitting. And thank you for another wonderful adventure!

The glass thing on the dresser is an epergne ,used to hold different sweets,fruit etc,the cranberry glass ones are particularly collectible. Thanks for a fascinating explore Sam and Jess🏆

Great video sam & Jess .. love how everything gets explored .. you don't miss anything .. Thankyou .. your music is always amazing 1 of the many things I look forward to with your vids .. so glad you got your own channel xx😘

Those binoculars you picked up are actually theatre 🎭 glasses 👍🏻

This house is once again one of those places filled with so many treasures. Even if it's just visual. You have an amazing eye for really capturing and editing the real raw beauty of these time capsules and all the places u visit really. Except the rotting flesh of course. Haha much love from Ana in Queensland Australia 💯✌❤🇦🇺🤘😁

Ye know something I’ve seen this house before but I like watching you guys because you’d are 2 good people with good energy look forward to your next video 😎

That is so sad to learn about the son, so many lovely pieces that will be destroyed, along with the house such a crying shame. Grief is a difficult journey. Thank you Sam and Jess xxx nobody does it better than you much love to you both

I look at a lot of these abandoned places and it makes me very sad to think all the ornaments, etc will never be used again. Why on earth can’t someone, auctioneers or so,e odd go through the house and take everything and sell it to people who will look after it instead of it all rotting away. Just so bloody wasteful.

I've held back until now. I've watched hundreds of explore videos and it is true...the children grow up move away and then a spouse passes and you have a shell you call home. Nothing prepares you for the feelings of having your memories of them stare you in the face day after day. You end up in a dark place if you have no one who cares. So the dishes don't get done dusting neglected and then you too pass. Go out and live life ...don't collects things just memories.

I so glad you are very respectful for someones lost life , a place that was once loved

There is a lot of history in this house. They must have had a lot of money to have such fine furnishings. I'm not sure about the hanging meat, but I know they salted pork and hung it in rooms for preservation in the old days. I think you were right about the bottles of urine, but they used urine for a variety of things too. Yikes!!

incredible that you stayed. I think it such a pity that all of the beautiful stuff will fall into decay.I am very impressed that you were able to stay and explore this house. Good for you. blessings to you 🙏 both Patti Lou

You two are braver than me, I was actually physically retching through this and when you entered that upstairs room with the holes in the floor I was shouting at my screen for you to get out of the room as I was genuinely worried for your safety, beautifully creepy though guys

I’m new to your channel, I absolutely love how respectful you are, I’m very much looking forward to your future explorations.

You guys have captured this place brilliantly I will never forget this location and it was good to meet you guys xx Iv heard that they have started sealing the place up which is good at least it can be preserved a lot longer ❤️

Wow wow wow.i don't know what to say. Started out amazing, quickly turned into a horror scene. Sad way to live, horrific. I'm sorry you had to experience this.

Horrible, you guys have good stomachs. Being an empath I could not walk through that house. I'd feel all those poor animals that were slaughtered and their suffering. The son could of cleaned out the house , painted , it would of been a beautiful treasure. Thnx guys, amazing house really. 👍👍👍👍

I really respect you guys for emphasizing the beauty of the artwork, wall covering, furniture and such! Over the horror of the butcher that lived there

Great explore Sam and Jess, the roller thing for getting water out of your laundry is a “ mangle” my Grandad had a big one outside the backdoor and was still using it up until the early eighties , also the cupboard that you mentioned might be for chickens, I think might be a “ meat safe” again my Nan and Grandad had one. Your braver than I could ever be, escpecially with all the cob webs, it’s those that terrify me ( I’m literally terrified of spiders) I think hanging meat is some sort of means of preservation, it may have been “ salted” , be safe you two 🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰

You say Jess found a rotting sheep in the shed so they probably had sheep on the farm and they may have been selling the wool. I found this article that might explain the urine in the bottles: "During my research I discovered that in the 17th and 18th century, urine was valued for its cleansing power by the wool industry. Human urine was used for its bleaching and degreasing effect to wash wool. It was also used during dye processes. After using the urine as a scouring solvent for wool, it can easily be recycled as fertilizer for plants and algae." It's so sad that the son didn't sell some of the beautiful belongings of his parents before they rotted.

Those were sheep skins hanging in the window once dried out they would use them as blankets in Winter or make sheep rugs to earn an income the sheep skin would be used underneath then Wool on top the sheep skin once dried out it would go like leather there won't be a lot of skilled people left making sheep skin rugs in the traditional way nowadays and the pig would've been for the Winter to feed them and yes Sam that barrel with the handle was a butter churn I've worked on Farms all my life and I did a study on old farms and I would say the person pee'd in milk bottles because they were disabled and couldn't get to the toilet without aid / help and with it being a working farm and having a disabled person living with you there wouldn't be someone there to look after them all the time I've never understood why there just left lying around though as I've done a couple of explores now that's had wee in milk bottles and it's usually a disabled person one of the people I explore with told me that the milk bottles in the Kitchen were probably Animal blood I'm glad those walls can't talk 😱. I was also thinking imgaine lying in that bed all day with no entertainment no tv or radio just 4 walls and a ceiling to stare at day after day just exsiting what a very sad situation

Those bowls with the pitchers on the dressers were used for water to wash your face and hands before bed and when wake up. Nicely done on the video. First time watching. Like how you take time to actually look at everything.

Amazing house with Ed Gein vibes!!! You were brave going in XXX

New subbie! Going through your vids... fascinating! I'm amazed these places exist. What a shame. I like the respect you show to the place and people. Look forward to more! 🇬🇧 Hertfordshire.

You two are old soul. Special❤️👍🏻

A previous person did this place, but Sam & Jess did more of a walk through even with meat hanging around. A time capsule but on the macabre side aswell. So I enjoyed this more than the previous person. Well done both 👍 And all the Dutch crockery stunning art on them. My late father use to have the windmill where we bought it from Valkenburg in Holland. Also a lovely place to visit with no meat hanging everywhere 🤣

The tiny binoculars were probably opera glasses to see the stage more clearly.

You two do such excellent filming of these places, thank you. Even if the house didn't sell it would be good if the son allowed the sale of the contents to preserve what is left. So sad to see so many beautiful things go to decay. I see others commented on the pitchers and wash basins in the bedrooms so I won't duplicate as I came to comment on what they were. Love all your vids so much!

Both of you are adorable 💞your films are so peaceful to watch 🤍your music choice is beautiful🤗🙏

One of the better explores I have watched, I like your empathy especially on previous explore of the polluted street in Wales, I have watched hundreds of explores and I really like your style of filming well done 👍

Hi Sam and jess Great video. I love your content. Just to let you know, the jugs and bowls in the rooms are, jugs for carrying water, the plain bowl for washing yourself and the bowl with a handle are pee bowls for the night time. Keep doing what you're doing, its great.

Dam it’s bout time I find you bro I always see you with Karl and I’m like , man this guy and his lady gotta have some type of channel lol glad I found you man

You need to call the house “The Jerky House” with all of the dried meat hanging around! Lol! BTW, I used to have the soup bowls with the recipes written on them.. lol!

That meat is the old way of curing bacon. It would be salted for a couple of weeks then hanged to dry cure in the air. Keeps for years! Old farms always had meat hanging. As did the big houses! Traditional methods of curing meat!

Beautifully done as always, the 2 items on the dressers are a water pitcher and a wash bowl.For washing your face and hands, to prepare for getting dressed. Ladies of the night used it to freshen up between customers. The chamber pot was usually matching with a handle hidden under the bed. Hope this was not to much info. As always stay safe and well.🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sam and Jess, your explores mean the world to me at the moment.I am in Sydney Australia where we have harsh lockdown restrictions and it's really affected many people-especially young like myself. Thank you for being a bright light in these dark days..🇭🇲❤️✌️🙏

So, so sad the relative is no longer living in this what must have been a beautiful house. Love the video footage and how respectful you two are going through this house and all its treasures, except for the dead carcasses.

Creepy old place, weird where they hung the meat to age, possibly going a bit insane in old age. The rotating barrel was a butter churn, my Grandmother used to use one to make butter. The box with mesh on it is called a meat safe. They were placed somewhere cool to keep the meat fresh and fly free and were the forerunner of fridges. I remember Gran and our neighbour keeping stuff in them even after fridges became quite common. The Pfaff sewing machine would have been top of the range, my wife is a costumier and still buys Pfaff sewing machines. Where you get the marble topped table with the jug and bowl, this was called a wash stand and the jug was filled with water, hot or cold so you could have a wash in your room. This originated pre-bathroom. My Grandparents had them and we used them as they didn't have a bathroom and the bog was in a shed in the garden, merely a bucket with a seat on it and you chucked cold ash on top. Bath night was in a tin bath in front of the fire. They got their first inside toilet in about 1979. The strange little heater under the wash stand was a paraffin heater, it was lit and the dome glowed orange and it made a bubbling noise as the paraffin went down, they smelled lovely. Well done Sam and Jess, loving your explores, the old man will keep telling you what the old things were!!

OMG you two!! Thanks for exploring this once beautiful home! It was scary fun but I was really afraid for Jess as she opens the doors first. Love it! Be careful Jess and Sam! Oh how we want to know more! 🤣🤣🤗

I truly enjoy your explores and the way you speak of the families and their belongings. I aprreciate the care you take, but also how you describe what you are seeing and the information you impart to your followers. Thank you both for sharing your love of what you find. I just love watching your videos!

Brilliant explore even though there was dead meat hanging everywhere. I heard a pig getting slaughtered once and its a sound i will never forget. Love old pictures and personal nick nacks. Love tea out of a china cup. Awesome fireplace and quite opulent. Kudos to the both of you for doing this despite the fact it smelt. Xx ❤️💙 J and S. Fab music accompanying the video guy's.Ps it's a wonder there were no flies around the meat.🥇🏆✨ Marvellous vlog keep up the good work, much appreciated. 👏💯YOUR EXPLORES ARE INCREDIBLE AND SECOND TO NONE.🕸️🕷️🕸️🕸️

Absolutely wonderful furniture and probably lots of treasures. Such a shame. The house needs some love.

You are very good at filming,you show us the interior far and close angle alike and you both have exceptional soft voices.Thank you.

Thankyou, that was great 👍 am now a fan of you two lovely people and have subscribed.✌️👍✌️

Wow, Jess you aren't affraid of anything. Taking the lead into who knows what. Such a weird feeling in there....not sure I could have gone in !! Brilliant as always x

A beautiful space of history that needs healing and lots of cleansing and sunlight. I hope the son finds peace and consolation. . 💞

How Bazaar, strangest abandoned place to see in my mind to be sure! Loaded with so many priceless treasures and some of the weirdest rotting heads/carcasses hanging around. Your troopers to say the least, to stay and show us this unusual home!

It saddens me that all the beautiful furniture and paintings, ornaments things that need to be used and loved again just let to rot and be forgotten. They should be able to be claimed legally from the owner of there is one that you can take these beautiful pieces to be re used and loved. Such a shame indeed... Great video and find. Such a interesting layout of the house, would of been quiet impressive back in the day, the bowl and jug where used for fresh water to wash with, not to wee in... 😂 Great video guys... 😍👍🏻

I just discovered you both on the Alister Crawley Documentary. It was amazing you all were captivating. Jess you are such a pretty woman very natural! Sam you are a sweetheart and love your vibe. Looking forward to following you both on your journey. Beautiful couple you grew up in the wrong era ....,remind me of the 60's generation. Beautiful souls…... .

What a great explore!! Thank you so much for sharing. I love this channel 😉☘

Wow beautiful dressers and furniture the wash pitcher and bowl and wash stands just lovely.Very expensive things. You guys are great thank you.enjoyed it very much.👍❤️😍🇺🇸

Great vid, what a fascinating and unusual place. Thank you Sam and jess 😍 xxxxx

Sorry me again,.love the background music, so soothing and calming 😊

awesome video guys I love Jess so much she's such a beautiful amazing sweet person stay safe I liked subscribed and put notifications on all 💙

I am so in love with you 2 and your style can't stop watching! This is a creepy one.

did a good job!! FYI: houses before mid 1900's had summer kitchens, used during hot months to keep the house cooler when cooking, some were connected to the house and some stood alone (to insure no threat of fire). also pay attention to photo's. it was a practice to take death photos of the deceased before burial. some were of the whole family with the deceased posed in a photo. they are interesting but creepy

I'm really glad I sat down with VEGAN corn dogs for this one 😂

The comments on this video are great so much info :) ps video was awesome!!

Subscribed and smashed da 👍's up.... this is Poetically Beautiful, hauntingly time standing still breathing through this Soul....time capsule captured💯

So interesting .. can’t believe the meat hanging 🤢 and the skin room. Very sad that the only remaining family member will not go in there.. thankyou both it was a good watch xx

What an amazing explore. The son must have plenty of money if he doesn't need to sell the house it's a shame he doesn't want to keep the sentimental things like the photos etc. I'm a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your channel you have some fantastic content thanks for posting guy's.

Such a shame , beautiful belongings, you can tell it was once a beautiful old house. Great video!

Such a beautiful house; really tragic to allow all the beautiful antiques to rot and decay. It doesn’t make sense. I’m loving your videos and presentation. Thanks

Hi lovely Sam and jess what a strange place that man could have sold it and lived really well,love to you both 🤗🌈⭐️💕

I just found your site and really like it . You also have a nice way of presenting your channel . Really enjoyed it and will watch future videos 📹 👍

Well I was very creeped out by this place and literally wondered what was going to be behind each door. As people have said, they had many fine possessions and paintings but the picture I think I could study for ages is the huge one with Queen Victoria and her family, amazing. So glad you got to talk to the son, did you mention all the skins etc hanging up and did he answer? The music you put with this was perfect and certainly aded to the creepy vibe. You guys really are great and certainly shown one of the strangest houses I have seen. Stay safe.🥰

This home that you both explored has many antiques wow thank you 🙏 guys god bless you always and stay safe and healthy.

Sam & Jess are very empathetic, lovely people; the dwellings are see with great care. Sam & Jess find the beauty

Its too cool that you said.... you recon so.... I am from Georgia USA & I thought we were the only ones who said recon...lol I live in Fla. & so many people here catch me when I say it... & always comment about it....Awesome video !!!!

this a great video back in time great filming

I have to say guys your vids are a joy to watch , your both so respectful . I just find it strange that a fair amount of items look so so clean even when the properties have been abandoned for donkies years .

Oohh…. You should get out of there… that’s creepy! But thanks for staying so I can share your visit!,

Great video. But tinged with such sadness, especially after hearing the man’s story. 💜

You two have done a wonderful job, this is so captivating. Love from the USA...

Stunning cinematics yet again! You both are wonderful! Thank you!!
