Exploring Huge French Manors - Vintage Belongings Left Behind 

I would bet most of these people got hit pretty hard during the Recession of '08. Europe got hit must worse than the states: as the US's ability to print money saved it. In effect, the United States exported its inflation.

i saw an abandoned house in indiahoma OK a few months back, all i could think of hos how beautiful the house was (It was a 2 bed one bath house) and the way it was set up reminded me of where i used to live as a little kid. i saw pictures of the previous owners covered in these humongous black widow eggs. after a careful dust, it was a family of 3. such a sad thing to think of is what couldve happened to them, or why they let such a beautiful house go to waste to black widows (it was infested)

I'm similar. I think sometimes it is probably a family that lived there and eventually the children all grow up and move out leaving only a married couple. Eventually one of them dies leaving a lonely single person who eventually either dies in the home, or is shipped off to an old age home to die, their former home forgotten by the family. Rather sad really. I often use these videos as a reminder not to worry about gathering up too many good as someday I will be gone and they may end up like this, just rotting alone in a dusty home.

@@NeilRoy damn. i never thought of it that way. what i try to do is live while i can, i explore these houses and i always wonder different situations. what if it was a forgotten vacation home or possibly an old relatives home they wanted to keep in the family. one ghost town i explored had a population of 1. and the person living there was the mayor of the once booming town. he said all the houses had owners. he allowed me to explore them as long as he tagged along. the houses were full of belongings and untouched. it was perfect. i asked why they would leave it like that, and he told me something i would never forget. "When the town went bankrupt due to lack of income, the people who left kept their homes because they grew up in this town, and wanted a piece of it in the family." that stuck to me and every time i think about it, it leaves chills and a sense of pride for what i have. it was a great day

Same, tbh. I see videos like these, and the places that still have stuff all I can think is why did they leave it? What really happened? And ones like the first house in this video I always feel like they just disappeared, those who originally lived there or owned it.

Well, I mean, that's not exactly an ordinary, middle class house. If you have enough relative wealth to have lived in that house back then, then you have enough wealth to commission a new house in that style today.

@@TheOneGuy1111 For sure. That's a top 1% home both then and now.

I love those old houses. Wish I had the money to buy one and restore it to it's former beauty.

They just don't build them like that anymore when they do make a modern home in the same style it usually looks like a cheap knock off.

@@micah_boatwright I think there is a chance you could get such a building for a very small price and invest the rest in renovation.

and by the blue plaque you can also make a guess as to when this plate was last used - and therefore likely for how long it has been sitting there. The hexagonal plaque indicates when the next check for exhaust-limits is due and its color matched the TÜV-plaques that indicate the next check-interval. The hexagonal plaque, however, was discontinued in 2010. The color blue indicates one of three years as the colors cycle every six years. The precise year can be seen in the very middle of the plaque, but the video resolution makes it very difficult and the tilt of the camera angle towards the plaque doesn't help. The years in question are 1996, 2002, and 2008. So the plaque would display either 96, 02, or 08 - depending on which cycle the plaque was issued in. I tried with maximum resolution in the video and then magnifying the picture. Of the two numbers in the middle one is very slim compared to the other - therefore it is very likely to be a plaque with the 02 on it. This means whichever car it was mounted to has to have been either decommissioned or given a different plate around that time.

Makes sense

@@ranekeisenkralle8265 Das sireht man auch in 480p dass das eine 02 ist. ^^

@@Aussenluft Also ich habe es nicht ohne weiteres sehen können. Vermutlich ist mein Monitor dafür zu klein.

License plate ends 2002 but that doesn't need to say it's abandonned since then or earlier. @@ranekeisenkralle8265

Are you the one who posts this on every video? Like, abandoned means abandoned, who gives a shit?..Save a puppy or a tree or something 😁😂

@@sb8481 You sound like a right arsehole.

@@sb8481 ... You sound like you might be one of the vandals. Why protect stupid people who enjoy destroying things?

@@sbalogh53 Why protect destroyed shit that nobody cares about... Grow up

"destroy nothing" called "respect" but these buttfckers apparently have no idea what respect is. incompetent and idiotic vandals. maybe peoples should destroy the stuff and home from these vandals. would only be fair enough because almost of the abandoned buildings has an owner but they don't have the money to rebuild or make something new out of it . i never understand these miss births vandals.

Looks like maybe a elderly person with grand kids lived there and may have passed away. Idk why the family wouldn't move in and take care of the place.

@@A.Martin you could be right I see a lot of videos of people biting off more than they can chew with restoring old houses.

I would have robbed that place and then sold off everything.

M. Boatwright sometime it’s cheaper to literally tear the place down and rebuild the same house then restore the old one

@@brandonfleetwood4201 I'm sure you meant *than* .

Agree.

There are three houses in Gowen on a hilltop abandoned in the 80's, nothing damaged or taken out. It"s like the residents all died or left in a day.

Is that on 4:47 ?

Jeffry Syam no, at 18:15

@@yettobseen you do realize, it's video end right? are you joking?

@@JeffSyam Yeah he's joking

Jeffry Syam “ it’s video end, right”?

Hi Dan. Love your videos!

This is Dan Bell. Can’t wait for ADR

If you can afford to live in a mansion you probably don't have to worry about that.

Me too Markus!!

Fireplaces.

It's called a heart attack

The fact that someone left a pair of shoes out too in a few the rooms it definitely seems like they had to leave in a hurry

Same ;_;

Well, save your money. If the stock market tanks you will be able to pick these places up for penny's on the dollar. But it will be the upkeep which will kill you.

Vermillion Chrome tearing up no your not 😂 stop being so dramatic

lamboman68 funny don’t see you here with me 🤔 ones passion for architecture may not be for everyone.

I appreciate things that last not short lived

Jeremy Mead thank you!

oicfas4523 you sound dumb

@@thegraffboy123 If anyone is dumb here, it's you. He's obviously joking.

That's actually a pretty legit question, considering how good of a shape the place is in.

@@TheCrazyFinnSomeone definitivly decorated it that way after it became vacant. I wonder why no one has stolen the good stuff?

@@basstrammel1322 Because it isn't America :)

Right? Absolutely everybody is into taking "edgy" abandoned building photos. The second house was like Grand Central Station. It's why I quit.

@@MuneageDaydream Are you the only one allowed to take the edgy photos? :P It wouldn't be as nice with all those people, but I can understand it.

I really hate vandals and graffiti "artists". Stupid people who think they are great because they spray a bit of random paint on a wall.

i feel that way about the desecrated Indigenous land everywhere, trampled on by "progress" and colonialism. Thousands of years of heritage and we piss on it daily.

@@sbalogh53 I don't mind graffiti artists as long as they aren't tagging historic buildings like the ones in the video.

To an extent I agree with you but in a way they are bringing new life to a building that may very well sit there until the wood that holds it rots and the celling collapses on itself

@@themarquis8716 oh fuck off you hippie. If we cared about "desecrated Indigenous land" as much as they wanted us too we'd never be able to build anywhere.

I think its not realy abandoned. Probably troubles with inheritance.
