Creepy Abandoned Farmhouse | Front door wide open | Ohio Urbex 

Once upon a time this was someones pride and joy

By looking at some of the architectural details of the original part of the house, my best guess is that it was built circa 1830-1845. The biggest clue was the exterior mounted door latches. Post 1845 was when they started using the ones we still use today where the mechanics of the doorknobs and latches are hidden inside the door. I disagree that the house is beyond repair. It appeared to be basically sound structurally. Even the addition that was pulling away from the main house could be jacked up and reattached, IMHO. Those colored tiles looked to be made celluloid, (an early plastic), and came into fashion in the early 1910s. My 1912 house has them throughout the kitchen, including the ceiling. You're explore of the rural Ohio home with the cupola at the top (you called it a Widow's Walk) came into my feed. That was an awesome house, too. You've got yourself a new subscriber here! Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more content from you. 🏚👍

Love your videos. And appreciate the lack of "guys" this and"guys" that in every sentence,as well as "dude" used the same way. And SO glad you don't explore alone!!!! Love love love seeing these old homes!!! Thanks so much!

What a beautiful old home. Thanks for sharing. The basement was probably the original kitchen. The fireplace would have been where they cooked. My great grandparents home had a huge fireplace in the basement as well.

Wow very old house. The woodwork is amazing!

Man cave basement floor DRY!!??!! I will buy that house! Many newer homes has basement wetness troubles. Good tour.

I swear these old homes have souls! How sad!!!!! Great find!

Nice to see someone from your generation know about old houses and old things!

That room with the curved cieling could be a root cellar. However it looks like a fallout shelter. Early they were used in case of Indian attacks, but I don't think that house is old enough for that. They were also used as tornado shelters, then in the 50's and 60's as shelters in case of nuclear war. Some people had them installed at that time, believe it or not. The arched cieling gives more strength. It looks like a tornado shelter to me.

I wish that I had money to fix up a place like this love it!

Kitchen...kitchen??? More likely kitchen...laundry room???? Good exploration, thank you for posting!!!

I grew up in this town, and stumbled on this home myself when it was up for auction 4 years previously. It was closed up tight when I walked around the property, but I saw much of what you did from the outside. You're lucky you didn't venture too far to the right rear of the home as there is a huge sinkhole back there - I nearly fell in it. Not sure if it's part of the well collapsing or what, but almost definitely part of the problem when it comes to the back end of the house sinking. It believe someone did purchase this house at auction back in November 2013 and had plans to repair it and that is why there was sheet rock downstairs. They may have abandoned the project, however. I have some photos I took of the place. You'll recognize some of them facebook.com/pg/BirchLeafPhotography/photos/?tab=album&album_id=538777646207379

Actually this home was more than likely built prior to 1900. But in Greene County they did not start keeping records of homes until 1900, so everything built before that was automatically given 1900 for the record books.

That big hole next to the house was a cistern. I believe the new owner may have had plans for making apartments out of this house. The original part of the house still looks to be good. I do believe this house could be saved but they ABSOLUTELY have to start with a roof. Nice work, new sub here.

Dudes, I think that room with the arched ceiling in the basement may have been some kind of burial vault or something. Creepy...

Did anyone notice the toilet seat on the kitchen counter at 2:45? Strange place for it....

@37 seconds a little girl walks by the door inside the house...and notice @44 seconds the door is more closed...amazing

these abandoned houses can still be someones pride and joy with adverse possession! get on it people!

It looks like a smaller version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre house even inside with the stairs and the hall. If you run across a steel sliding door.RUN!

So neat to see this abandoned house. I lived right down the road when I was growing up. I still remember the old lady’s name that lived here. I always wondered throughout the years what it looked like inside.

I am from a large family and we lived in some very large houses like this one I hated them they were very scary

loved everything about that house, even the odd additions. That weird room you could lift stairs would have been cool for a kids playroom/treehouse outside. The outside water pump was also so cool. hope they restore it oneday...sadly im sure that wont ever happen.

I’m glad you do these videos before these are totally lost and forgotten. 1.) You guys are really brave! 2.). I’m glad I’m not the only one who says the word “poop” like you do! lol

This was a great place...Bet that they had servants and part of the basement and very upper part were servants sleeping area.That domed area could have been a large built in oven.The back kitchen was an outside kitchen...not only to protect the rest of the house from fire...but kept the rest of the house cooler in the summer months while they were cooking.One area for storage for things they had canned from thier garden and an area for washing thier laundry...a place to make thier homemade soap and looked like a place they may have had an area to butcher meat and hang in the basement...probrably perserved by salting or smoking.Big houses like that that were owned by richer families had places to do all that and be self sufficient...hard to go to nearest town very often so they did it all on thier own farm....Remember back in those days they had outhouses and indoor bathrooms and plumbing would have been added on later as was that back addition.As the family grew,so would the house.Any servants would have had a back entrance and later on thier own bathroom.Really love these videos of old houses and the history that came with them...the stories these houses could tell if they could talk.....

Reminds me of the house from the Texas chainsaw massacre movie.

Loved the video, but I would have loved to see the basement fireplace in detail. The building of old fireplaces is interesting.

Man nice digs, I love Ohio its so haunted - now I'm not sure where you stand on spirits, ghosts etc.but from 0:22-26 seconds you will notice what looks to be a very large dark colored bug.. not a bug , pause and capture it a few times at different positions you will see its not a bug. What it is well its a spirit or atleast has one attached you will see a white mist accompanying it and a face if you get a good shot. Its not human I have a theory but its out there (more so than saying its not a bug lol) I will tell you I see these things all the time in urbex videos, I'm talking from the USA to Finland & Denmark. It circled you at least 4 times , check it out. Take care.

People that are being petty with your little rude remarks literally are ridiculous they are sharing "keyword" choosing to share their passion with you need I remind you out doing all the exploring on foot not just watching behind the camera things aren't perfect ever I don't care who you are.. Passion and drive are best displayed through those little things you think are flaws but in reality is authenticity. From one abandoned Explorer and historic lover keep up the great work this is my passion! I really would like to hit the back roads and actually have time to explore going towards Athens ohio and Hocking Hills where my brother goes to school there are so many things that are just waiting to be explored🤙✌🤘💚 #abandonedOhio history being recovered one forgotten place at a time!

Why didn't you check the old water well pump to see if it worked? That would have been awesome if it worked

that's raccoon pooh, son.

The arched room is an interior ice house where ice was stored for use it in the summer months indicating wealth. Large homes used to have ice cut in the winter with saws that was then stored in an underground hole with saw dust and small door and lot of earth heaped over top. However, as the railroads became widespread ice manufacturing plants became more popular. While they didn’t freeze water and bag it as we do now they stored a large amount of ice over the winter and people bought smaller amounts. It was used in drinks to make ice cream or chill food and later in the ice box. City folk had an ice delivery service to handle ice boxes.

Just found your channel. Love the video, liked and subbed!

That's some house with the add on that was sharp you noticed that, that addict would of been cool but looked like a real climb though, I'm surprised started off with a lot of activity then died (ooohhh get it !) lol anyways there was one other oddity at 12:12-17 in front of the fireplace on the ground you will see purple (not the mattress - they suck by the way I bought one) no its the color next to a rock it changes size and morphs hen you come out from the back its gone then bam its back. Anytime you see purple or a blue lights or that's out of place sometimes looks like neon - that's an entity , I don't know if you ever saw ghost adventures wolfe manor episode they had a camera made by a scientist which captured all the way down the light spectrum and most spirits appeared as that purple or bluish purple very interesting. Ok sorry for all the babble enjoyed your work!!! take care

Many of these really old homes ended up like a patchwork quilts. They didn't even use blueprints to build the add-on's, they would just start building the additions.. Basements were used for food storage too. That arched room reminds me of a wine storage room. Great find, like the detailed woodwork. Blessings

Wow! I loved it! You know, there is A LOT of $$$ in those extras of that "simple farm house", so that farmer must have been doing pretty well!😊👍

What a shame that house is falling apart

Strange house. Amazing it has stood so long. Very creepy also especially the cellar.

Huge house, you can't see this kind of house anymore, beauty of yesteryear, the basement is bigger than my house.

Beautiful place. Inside and out. Would love to live in a home like this. You spend a fortune if you went in a store and buy old looking stuff that’s in this home. At least in Texas anyway.

Light anomaly (spiritual) at 2:39-40 right next to and right of kitchen window at the first set of kitchen cabinets middle shelf (door is opened) you see 2 lights flash then disappear , Edit: then at 2:41-43 one of the lights shoots downward from around the same area then a second later another loops up towards the ceiling . very cool - good job!

At the time that house was built there would not have been indoor bathrooms and the kitchen may have been separate too. They didn't want fires from cooking to burn the house down. Sometimes there was an indoor kitchen, but also another one for Summer that was separate from the house to keep it cooler when people were cooking. It is also very typical for houses to be added onto as the family grew and/or they had more money. I always hate to see these old houses left to rot, but even without any foundation problems and stabilizing the additions it would be very costly not just in labor but in cash. Insulating, updating plumbing and electric, tearing off the lathe and plaster walls and doing sheet rock just for starters! Then there's refinishing the floors, central heat and air, painting, new bath fixtures, kitchen cabinets, and light fixtures. This may well have been why it looked like someone started. work on it and then stopped.

The basement looks like it was used as living space , the outside that went under the house is called a root cellar they would store food like potatoes,onions and canned good because it was super cool year round. Not sure where the kitchen was usually there above the root cellar and have a dumb waiter inside a kitchen cabinet which also had shelves with holes in them to cool foods like pies. I lived in a old house in Calif that had that but didnt have a basement( no need no tornado threat) Great house!!

The lives that walked in and out of that home...Sad it just sits & rits!

Pretty sure that other “kitchen” is what they called a mud room. It’s where you’d come in after a day of work and shed your dirty outer garments and such to be washed, so it of course had a sink and probably later a washer and dryer when those became common household items. You’d keep your coats, hats, rain gear, etc. hung up back there.

Please check out the barn "next time", might be some cool stuff in there. :)

Cool place Really, if somebody had the ambition it could be fixed up. To answer your question about that arch in the basement, it would be directly located underneath a fireplace that's how they held them up in the old days. In some very fancy houses I've seen the arch underneath the fireplace converted into a wine cellar.

Looks cleaner than my apartment

At least you found the well the easy way!! I wonder if there is a manufactured date on that new drywall? Seeing that old boiler thingy (down with the gas-engine pump) The house may have been coal heated etc. That domed room may be a coal storage room. My grandmothers house was build in 1901, she had these rooms in the basement that had a little window very close to the roof. They were very small (~2x2) and kinda had a slope/ramp that went into the room. My dad told me that is where the truck would dump the coal in from the outside. Judging by the plaster and Lath, certainly at least the '40's. Although the C/B panel looked kinda new. A lot of these old houses are oddly shaped because: The house would be built, then the son/daughter would get married etc and they would move in, have kids and have an extension built. Beautiful house, the amount of work and craftsmanship put into things build back then astounds me. Think of all the brickwork.

Amazing Thanks

Sad that no one restored it. But might be because of the back

Reminds me of the house on Platt Lane in Austin, Texas I explored.

This looks very familiar to me! Are you in MEDINA, Ohio? Please let me know some body? I have seen the house before.

Does anyone notice the apparition at 00:36 to 00:38??? It looks like someone walks across the door way and then the door shuts. It’s literally the clearest apparition I’ve ever seen or I’m crazy

what a weird place. great find

That looks like the house from the movie "The Happening"

I'd pry that board off and see what's in that room

Do y'all ever go into homes with a creepy feeling?

Place is huge!!

That place was improperly added onto. There no tie ins to the old house that's why you see the gap between additions. Wont be long and there will be collapsing o parts because the lack of sound building practices. Be careful in such places.

I notice that you're in Jamestown. If you come a little further south to Clinton county you will find a lot of abandoned farmhouses. Pretty cool stuff.

Where exactly is this? If I paid you would you go back and take a few more pics and measurements? This is exactly what I want to build for my dream home

Did anyone notice a ghost, wearing a green shirt, blue jeans, maybe a hockey helmet?

I enjoyed the explore! Thumbs up 👍 from me 😊

Amazing and scary. Theres just too much icky stuff in there. But thank you, I'm a new subscriber, look forward to new explores. 🔔

Creepy isn't the word!

My house is exactly like this it doesn't make sense they added on to it like 3 times and there's bricks in the bathroom and the back bedroom I've never been in the attic as I'm scared of them but I really want to go up

Great large old house. Loved your video, new sub.

At 1:37 it looks like someone walks across the doorway at the top of the stairs.

Would love to remodel this place & make it live able.

The light wasn't awesome

Watch door around 37 secs in, swear something walls by door way

It is so sad to see beautiful homes die parts of history with it...

I'd be happy just to live in the garage space

Yes, we explore in groups.

Cool video, towards the end when u guys r in that lil basement area, w all those small rooms it makes ya wonder who they may have kept down there. Very creepy looking. I got a very bad vibe looking at that place.

I don't think this house is creepy at all...ive seen some restored..they're beautiful..once you get the dirt out! And it would have to be structurally sound...but I'd take it in a minute for the right price!!

Oswald Spengler, the German historian and philosopher who won worldwide fame as the author of “The Decline of the West” (1918-22), is dead at age 55.

@13:50-51 you picked up a sound. It sounded like a word but I can't make it out. 😳

Panic attack as you head to the basement...

Oh God your killing me but thank you!🤤

That is were original kitchen was basement

I would bet that original structure was built in1870 1880

Were you with someone else when you were making the video?

Texas chainsaw massacre looking ass house

would cost a fortune just to heat it

Weird house.
