They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What may seem an eyesore to one person, just might be a beautiful masterpiece to another. There are places beloved by communities and protected in the hearts of those that hold their memories of its tattered hallways and decayed rooms dear. This is the way that we feel when we explore places that have been forgotten by time. Left to rot and decay and only holding the silent whispers of what once was. We know that there are people out there with malicious intent toward these places that we venture into. It saddens us when we see the filth and destruction they leave behind, but we want to make something very clear… We are explorers and lovers of history. We in no way, shape or form condone the criminal activities that take place in the historical decaying places that we document. Social media has brought many of these places to the limelight, but the intention is to show the beauty and mystery of abandonment. Not to invite trouble. Trouble will find its way on its own and to say that the peaceful documentation of these places leads to criminal activity, is mind blowing. We have met so many amazing fellow explorers in our travels and are so thankful and humbled by the positive responses we have received. We know that this type of exploration is not for everyone…many people don’t understand why we find such beauty in decay, we can only explain it as a beautiful journey into the past. We invite you to watch our explores and come along as we visit these amazing places. As for the criminal activity that occurs, those individuals are responsible for their own actions. It is a terrible part of our society, but reality, nonetheless. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for loving this location just as much as we do. We hope that through this video, the memories held within will remain.
I would love to know the location of this beautiful mansion! Even if you’d like to meet up sometime soon & check it out together! I live in central Maine.
I think the home is owned by Emily Ting although Im not 100 percent sure. Miss Ting went back to Hong Kong around 2005 when her father became ill. She is an actress/producer that studied in New York.
There are some clips on here from Emily Ting’s 2008 documentary “Family Inc”, which seems to follow her life as she goes back to Hong Kong to *help* her father run his toy manufacturing business. Would be interesting to watch the full thing & see if there’s any mention of this, because all these clips are very out of context and don’t mention much of anything lol
There was a quiet beauty to the decay we found here. It was very serene and peaceful. Although this location has been left behind, it is still the place where sweet memories can be made. We will always treasure this explore and will always be thankful that we were able to document it for others to see as well. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!
Definitely not! Then or now... the graffiti... not that we would even categorize it with the colorful graffiti that we often see, was horrendous. We often look past all of the offensive pictures and words on the walls because we are so thrilled to be exploring. It wasn’t until we were watching that we were aware of all the filth on the walls... ugh. The cliffs beyond the house were definitely not child friendly either... not really friendly for adults to be honest, as one wrong step would be a disaster. Thank you so much for coming along with us and for commenting!
Amazing location. That would have been an epic home back in its day, especially with those views over the ocean. Looks like they found a close to perfect location to build it. Tragic to learn about their son, can understand why they left and went back home. The building has certainly suffered over time. Surprised it wasn't snapped up when the owners left or later bought to use the land for another build. There is definitely a huge difference between explorers and vandals. Someone clearly doesn't "get it". Enjoyed this one. thanks for showing us around.
Urbexy thank you!! How the heck does a beautiful house like that in a beautiful location like that get so destroyed? We are so glad that we got to explore it!!! :)
What a beautiful place!! And nope no pilfering ... Just normal exploring.. That's how you learn about the history of the place and the people that lived there... Thanks Gor sharing a great explore!
Haunted Ramblings thank you!! We enjoyed the beauty of this place SO MUCH and you are exactly right!!! We just explore with learning about the history in mind!!! :)
I live about 40 minutes from this house. It's a sad story and even worse someone has ruined that place. Every window is broke it would cost way to much to restore now
I don't know how someone could go into a beautiful house like this and break windows and put holes in the walls and write on the walls. It's disgraceful. This house was gorgeous and the views were breathtaking!
So strange. I don't know how such a valuable property can just go to hell like this. Someone must own it. Even in the condition it's in, it could probably sell for a lot of money because it's right by the ocean.
@@JMExplorations That family must’ve been SUPER wealthy to 1) be able to even build that house, and especially 2) to be able to just up & leave forever without caring at all to maintain or sell it
I'm you all got to explore this place!! So sad to see this place in this shape!! Another great video! thanks for the shoutout! Didn't even see the radio dish that you all saw in the driveway!
That happens to us all of the time!! Things can be missed so easily and that dish was hidden so well!! You are very welcome for the shout out!! We will ALWAYS support you and your amazing channel! Thank you again for leading us to this beauty!
Lol Exploring With Latte. Gotta wonder if this place stayed empty where it is due to the land itself being unstable that close to the cliffs? The scrappers were much worse than the vandals here, every wall torn open for the wiring and fixtures,,,,,,,sad. Was a beautiful huge house once, Wowsers. Pilfer don't hear that much anymore even autocorrect didn't like it😜. I many Asian cultures a parent or parents may have been living in the area with the other kitchen, love that fridge. Vandals damage and destroy by definition, urban explorers document and do no damage. The view was incredible, now imagine the view decades ago when it was newer all those trees were much smaller or not even there. That was a pool area downstairs just totally stripped the view from the big windows when the trees weren't there would have been sweet while swimming in the winter! Definite land erosion in front of the house, super cool find guys.
Exploring With CF thank you!!! Who knows why it was left the way it was but it certainly sucked to see such a beautiful place in a beautiful location so trashed!!! So you think that hole in the basement was a pool? I told Jennifer she was a dumbass for thinking that!!! LOL...who's the dumbass now? HAHAHAHA
I dont think that was a pool area but maybe a well missing a cover. If it was a pool it looks 15 feet deep at least and no shallow area. There is also a smaller area behind the big hole just as deep w a pool. There are other houses in this same area.
Not defending the people who vandalized this house, but the owners should have sold it or found a rental agency that would keep the place occupied. If you just leave a place anywhere in the United States and don't check on it, it will eventually get broken into and then it's just a matter of time before it's completely destroyed. If they thought they may return someday they should have hired someone to keep the place up and they should have kept it insured also. Now they are probably not interested in selling it because they will take such a loss.
Good bones! It can be brought back to life! Wonder if it's for sale. That would be great to do in honor and respect for the family that once loved this place.
Beautiful views from that house. I think would have been a sweet place to live. I think the walls may have been kicked in by people looking for hidden treasures and copper thieves.
We were surprised to see all of the beautiful colors so late in the season! It was a nice surprise. But really it was that pine tree against the jagged cliffs alongside the peaceful ocean that made our hearts sing! Thank you for watching and for commenting! Take care and happy exploring to you!!
There was minor weather damages after being empty for 15 yearS And indeed was a great place To visit until the year 2017 when some rudely people discovered it and literally did all that is seen here now.. I have video and pictures of before. Totally sad to see such destructive behaviors in the community. 😞
Dorry Lamprey thank you for watching! This place meant so much to us because it was the most beautiful place we ever explored! I mean that view was amazing!!! It was so depressing to see what that place looked like now! We would love to see your video and pictures if possible!!! We have been asked so many times where this place was but this is a place we protect and don’t give out info to anyone!! We talked about going back in the summer!!! ❤️
That is why I try not to give out any locations. It is insane how quickly a place can get trashed. I also don't buy the kid dying on the cliff story. Have heard from a good source it was drug money. If it was a death they would just sell the place. It was most likely abandoned to avoid prison.
Wow. So sad to see what was once an obviously beautiful house completely destroyed as it is. Those looked like storm shutters. But why they're on a house in Maine baffles me. And can I have shower overlooking the ocean? Yes please! Cool exploration guys!
Offbeat Discoveries thank you so much!!! We had such a blast here and where this is located in Maine has some pretty severe storms so we imagine they were just trying to protect their windows!!! :)
@@JMExplorations My opinion is that things always look better from the water...well, most of the time. Didn't see the building while I was there, it must be because of the growth around it, or I was just looking at other stuff:)
My father's and his family before him are from Maine. And yes, those are shutters that are for actual storm's. Not the one's for looks. It looks like you are in Bar Harbor, Booth Bay Harbor. Isn't it just beautiful!
Lol at the comment about the door. My guess as a Mainer is it was a vacation house and that that was for security in the off season. Lot of out of staters buy houses here to live in for maybe a few weeks to a couple months max per year.
It most definitely could have been a summer home, but we do know that it was left abandoned for years. A friend of ours explored the house about 2 years before we did. It’s so sad because this house is a true beauty and one of our very favorite places that we have ever been to.
@@JMExplorations Yes, very. It’s really tough seeing all the homes sitting unused for most of the year while we are one of the poorest states and apartments and houses are very hard to come by at any price, let alone affordably
Some ppl can be such crack pots. You two arnt vandols. Your here to document,have fun,and upload for us. The back story on this place is a shame. I guess the ppl building this wern't thinking opened concept. Alot of the rooms seemed to be closed in. Your channel is starting to remind me of exploring with Josh,. You guys find some epic places. Def check out hearthstone castle. It's all ruins but still really nice to look at.
We often take comments to heart. Especially when they question our integrity, but we have such great support and know that other explorers, such as yourselves, have the same respect and love for the places we go. Thank you for coming along with us on this one. We will definitely check out Hearthstone!
Oh WOW...so close to the ocean! Such a grand place! Can’t imagine why someone would walk away from that?! Well that story would be reasonable. That VIEW😳tho! Another kitchen?! Who’s a fruit? No shortage of money for that building project! WHAAAT?! Are you guys vandalizing what has already been vandalized?! Geez😉such a beauty...hey, it could’ve been a fish pond! 🤣 Beautiful cove...ATB, Lisa&Rick NO FACEBOOK...we went off a year ago, never looked back!
It was extremely grand! As always we can close our eyes and imagine what it must have been like! It was such a peaceful and serene location....we did not want to leave!!! Thank you so much for coming along with us! We always look forward to your comments!! Take care and happy exploring!!!
I (Marcel) lived in Maine for 14 years and my family still lives in Maine. It was hard to make a living in Maine which is why I moved to CT but Maine is beautiful!!!
@@JMExplorations I agree it’s beautiful up here and yes hard to make a living. I live in Augusta and even now it’s worse. Drugs and unemployment through the roof now. I’m making ends meat working 55 hours a week. I see why people collect up here.
@@JMExplorations this house is beautiful though!!! I’m headed to the Alien house today in New Harbor 😬 another abandoned yet weird house. Should check it out only a couple videos of it on here.
@@StockHeightChevy603 yeah we have it on our list but the last time we went up to Maine the road was a mess and we didn’t have a good vehicle for that.
Maine is known for the brick & cobblestone floors & roads. The wide pine floors. A lot of things in Maine are updated, as you have seen. I see closets and kitchens are updated. But mostly everything was at least 200 years old. Obviously you're on the Eastern Seaboard. Close to Route 1 ?
@@MsMarple so sometimes we get permission and sometimes we don’t. It all depends on the location. Did we get permission on this one? I guess you’ll just have to wonder. I guess my question to you is….why are you asking that question if you are watching Urban Exploration videos? There are literally thousands of Urban Exploration channels on RU-vid and I’m pretty sure none of them get permission. Are you making your way through all the channels to see if they’re getting permission or are we just the lucky ones who got chosen to get harassed by you? Either way I would suggest you not watch urban exploration videos in the future and please feel free to have a lovely evening!!! 🤣🤣
Right in my home town, very sad story to this property, too bad this was just left and destroyed. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and for exploring this on camera with us! 😇😇😇
This mansion is a mess. I imagine this was a beauty at one time. View from upstairs is amazing. Sad story about son falling off cliff if that is the truth.
Hi guys! It's sad they lost their son and their dream house. Sad to see the trashed home by such disrespectful people. Oh folks have got to be kidding or have no working brains to state dumb stuff of you taking stuff or distorying ANYTHING! Are they watching the same videos here that 'normal folks' watching are watching here? Looking in the fridge you know they were very clean, careing folks of that home, they sure would be sad to see their home the way the vandles left it. I wonder if the child that died there still calls that place 'home', hopefully his sprite has moved on. Thank you for another wonderful explore.💖 👻🤘 P.S. You know, it's YOUR fault I didn't finish cleaning my apt today.😉😃😂 I saw this and said, "I gott'a see this!" (Ha, ha, ha!)
GhostCity Shelton thank you!!! This is the most BEAUTIFUL place we have ever explored!! Beautiful mansion on the ocean sitting high on the cliffs of Maine!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!! ❤️
@@JMExplorations I think so too. A very pretty home. I liked the Castle one too...Sure it was far gone thanks to time and vandles ...But that was a kool place too. My step sister lives in Maine, not far from that light house.
I Love Your Videos , I Subed and Hit The BELL days Ago , MAINE is Too Creepy Lol .. I Would Not Want To Live Their Feels Too Isolated Yet Very Beautiful Place .. Sad Destroyed Mansion
We were never able to confirm the validity of this story, so it was probably just a legend. When you are there, you can see how a tragedy like that could have happened. The house was so close to the cliffs. Absolutely stunning! But would have been dangerous for a toddler.
That was a beautiful place I don't understand why people go in and trash a place up. And tear It All To Hell. Why? And I believe you guys r not Vandals your explorers thank you for the video
Thank you so much, Bob! We don't understand it either. We do see so much vandalism, but we also see so many people like us that just love to give a little love and light to places that have long since been forgotten. Thank you so much for watching and for such a nice comment!
Faith Smith Lol... old people rock! We have enjoyed joining Facebook. We have met so many people who share our passion. We were trying to avoid the drama that sometimes comes with Facebook, but are happy that we decided to join. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! We hope that you will check out a few of our other explores as well. We get a little goofy, but just love exploring together and sharing our experiences with others!☺️
Its sad that people destroy things like they do, why cant they just leave things alone? If they want to squat there, ok but dont damage the homes! Just sad
it's baffling to us why anyone with a conscience (and we know who does these things) gets joy out of breaking windows and putting holes in walls and writing disgusting things on walls. We are not big fans of vandalism.
Michele Jones Thank you for watching and for your concern! We are most at home in the woods and have become quite the experts on tick checks☺️. We will definitely be careful!! Thanks again!
First of all, we don’t give out locations to people we don’t know and second of all, you may want to comment on a video you watch before looking for information. It goes a long way!
