This once beautiful home, breaks my heart 💔 I hate what vandals do to a gorgeous, once loved home😞 Definitely from at least the 70s era! The toilet paper holder, curtains, appliances & several other tell tale signs! The fake, wall paper tile, was a part of that time frame as well!!! Loved your new camera equipment! The quality was very nice! Glad that your dad has a voice🤣 Nice to hear him adding his wisdom! He could even talk more…love to hear him converse with you 👍 I think that if this house would have had a good roof on it, we wouldn’t have seen the ceilings damaged the way that they were! My favorite part of this house was the downstairs fireplace wall!!! Gorgeous!!! The kitchen cabinets were an upgrade as well! If this house would have been kept up, it would just needed to be updated to be comfortable again! The camper could have been taken to a homeless encampment & been used by a person! You have sooo very much growth of vegetation, it must be very moist there! If you were walking in this much vegetation in the US, you’d have had to watch for snakes😳🥺😢 The moisture & vegetation brings bugs & spiders, hence the cobwebs…yuck👎😳😰🥺 Noah, always enjoy your videos & commentary! Love you 😍❤️💕
Not that it matters too much, but this house SCREAMS early to mid 1970s for me. Just the style of the house and everything inside reminds me exactly of my grandma's house which hasn't been remodeled since it was built in 1972. I absolutely adore that 1970s style, especially that kitchen and the classic stone floor to ceiling fireplace in the basement, you really can't get more 1970s than this house! Such an absolute shame kids had to ruin everything....
The pathetic mentality of vandals in their short and sad existence they are bored of life . Parenting ? NO - they have choices .Get a life . Thanks for sharing anyway and for the respect you show to the owners possessions . R.I.P the people who worked hard all their lives to set up their home and have things they enjoyed around them. Stay safe from UK
@@zeenaabdura5686 Looked too large to be a squirrel. Probably a dog. Maybe the elderly owner died somewhere else and nobody thought to come and check on the dog and it died :(
That power still on after so long seems to be a Canadian thing. See it all the time in these videos. Down here in the states they’d cut it off in 60 days unless someone was paying. So strange. And a dry pump will burn up. This one sounds awful. Drives me crazy but doesn’t seem to be a good logic. Nice video btw. Loved the butterfly wallpaper. Pretty sure this was 70s house. Nice to see you Noah. ❤️
Something about seeing these properties in this condition. It Makes me sad and happy at the same time. Thinking of all the memories that they may have shared. And wondering what happened to them. It's too bad that these houses can't tell their history. And why can't people respect what is not theirs. Just look at all that destruction.
15:58 Microsoft's first original optical mouse. I remember paying $100 for that thing when it first came out. The Antec tower I also had as well! Too funny. I'd see what was on the Hd's. Seems so freaking strange that abandoned places like this don't have everything stripped/trashed. It's weird seeing stuff just there, and no one has taken it. OMG, seeing Myst, Rise of the Triad, Doom games...etc. Wow. Takes me back as a kid honestly when I had all that and played with it. Even the freaking HP scanner and inkjet printer!! w0w
I think all the switches worked, but the bulbs in some were burned out. That’s why the fan ran but the lights weren’t on. Strange that they left power on and the sump pump running in a house with big holes in the roof. I wonder if they died in an accident and the things left were just what the family didn’t want. It almost seemed like they may have had someone staying there for a while afterwards. I stayed in a house for a few weeks looking after some pets when a friend of the family died. She had gone on a vacation and I was pet/house sitting for her and died in a car accident accident along the way. The family came and took most of the furniture and stuff away and only left the bare necessities for me while they found homes for the pets and settled the estate. The estate on that house could still be in limbo in the courts.
My parents used to live out in Northumberland County just north of Coburg in the late 90's/early 2000's. Always struck me as sort of a sad area and saw a few abandoned houses out there. Too bad to see a whole place with contents get left behind - just forgotten. And sickening to see what vandals do to property that isn't theirs to destroy.
I think the car in the garage was likely dumped there as the house has been abandoned for a long time. A great pity that the place had so much vandalism. Is there any way you could check the property records to find out who owns the house?
Well, it's a silver Buick, a popular car for seniors, maybe a late 1990s model with low mileage. It's probably been parked there all this time and was still a decent car until the vandals got to it.
Love the videos Noah and the sidelight glass at the front entryway is actually glass, Diamond amber lozenge it was called. Very popular in the 60’s and 70’s. Keep the videos coming
Vandalism is so upsetting.. electricity to a place that has sat abandoned this long is crazy.. what a waste…. Who pays.. where are friends and relatives? It is a lot smoother camera movement…. Light is fine.. so much could have been used by those in need.. bad bulbs…. That’s maybe why the lights aren’t working….. was a beautiful fp…. Typical style of a house from the 70s…. Good explore. Thank you
What I don't understand is.... how is there still power in this house? In the US if you don't pay your electric bill the utility company shuts off service to the house. Is that different in Canada?
An out of town or out of country son/daughter is probably paying the electric bill thinking the house is still in good condition but hasn't been there in years, or since their parents were alive.
I'm just going to say it's a miracle that place hasn't burnt to the ground. That's a sand point well pump and I assume it's running dry by the sound it was making and that no faucets had a drip coming from them even though they have the hard water stains from dripping. Next is the florescent light in the mans room in the basement when they are glowing like that due to bad bulbs the ballasts gets extremely hot. As for the lights not working I think the circuits were fine but the kids that wrecked everything either left all the lights on and they finally burnt out or since the power is on completing the circuit the house was struck by lightning and it burnt out the bulbs for the lights. Its. Crazy because you know somebody is paying the electric bill. I would've done the right thing and just turned the main brraket off
Boggles the mind that the property has been abandoned for so long but somehow the local power utility has not (or cannot) cut the power. Who is paying the monthly bill? I can only speculate that the owner(s) were seniors and IIRC per the OEB law, utilities in Ontario cannot cut power to a residence occupied (or at least owned) by seniors even for non-payment of service.
@@canuckfixit7722 or maybe its owned by a bank because of foreclosure and and bank is just paying the bill and let it rot. Definitely wierd but who knows how many years that sandpoint pump has just been running steadily that's crazy
@@1997cr80r Could be but foreclosure for 11 years? I don't even think probation of a will or settlement of an estate takes that long unless it's being contested. I'd like to know the make of that pump and motor ....
@@canuckfixit7722 It was probably owned outright, the owners having paid off the mortgage long ago. They probably bought it for $85,000 in the 1970s. Probably an out of town or out of country family member is paying the electric bill thinking the house is still in decent condition but hasn't seen it in 10 years.
Please wear a mask. When you see so much mold. If you breathe it in it could be dangerous. Just saying. Looks like they just up and went away. No dishes or furniture etc...
Not the 1960s. The 1970s. They had coloured fixtures in the 60s too, but the gold plexiglass by the front door, the patterned carpet in the basement, the bar in the basement all point to the 1970s. You're right that the cabinet on top of the toilet (such a good idea; why don't we have that anymore?) was an idea that started in the 60s, but the style of this one is 1970s for sure.
@@keithlincoln5109 Yes, looks like an early to mid 70s house, maybe even a bit newer. At first I thought it might have been from the 60s, unless it had a renovation later, but still lots of cool retro fixtures and finishings. I'd love to find a house like this, that's not abandoned and decaying. All of the 1950s to 1970s houses I see have been "remodeled" or "updated" either by new homeowners or house flippers. Not too many left in original condition. Maybe some of the goodies can be salvaged. I think that house is too far gone to save.
decorum is fromt the sixties/thereabouts/maybe fifties. Reminds me of my dads house but he didn't have anything worth keeping except a Frank Lloyd Right designed chair I used to love... what a chair...
Hi Noah! My husband and I live in this town. We know the full story behind it and have been in contact with the original owners granddaughter over the years. It has a very sad backstory and I won't be able to share the details online but just know it wasn't abandoned by it's original owners. The last time someone was living there was 2012. It is currently owned by a person however not the town.
Loving the new equipment, made for another great video. My hypothesis about the house, the very elderly occupants died and their Batchelor son inherited the house and was coming back to take care of it from time to time, hence the workshop and garden stuff and the grubby overalls, but not much else left behind. Maybe he grew up in the house so he was sentimental about keeping it. Perhaps he fell though the windows while trying to fix that skylight hole, off that dodgy wheeled scaffold. It could have been his dog dead in the wardrobe, having crapped all over the other room. And anyone finding the son’s body after he died falling off the scaffold may not have known about the poor dog.
That's a possibility. Definitely looks like elderly owners had the house, probably since it was new, and passed away or went into a long term care home or passed away. If that was their pet dog, it probably died of starvation. Poor thing. Maybe their child/children lived way out of town, and it wasn't convenient to come to check on the house, but they're still paying the electric bill, thinking the house is in better shape and want to keep the heat on so the pipes don't freeze. Can't think of any other reason the electricity would still be on all these years later. At this point, it's a fire waiting to happen.
I bet that was a young couple that lived there, from the games for kids, the Copperfield tanning lotion etc. I bet it was a beauty at one time, still wish someone would kick the breakers, or call the electric company and get the electric off before it burns 🔥down
This was one webby house. Never seen them so thick. Crazy. Too bad it's like this. Makes me wonder why it was abandoned. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
There's something so soothing about your intro and the intro music. I like the newer episodes with more backstory given, but I miss these intros with the music and all the clips of previous explores.
Something I found strange, the car the tires are not flat the battery was still in it even though it was tagged and windows smashed. Also the camper, the tires didn’t appear to be flat and the damage was only at the front, the rest of it looks really good, what was the sticker on the camper. The lightbulbs they are in the process of burning out, if a house has power it has power, unless fuses are bad or pulled or breakers are off, that just the way Power Works.
Your channel deserves so many more likes, subscribers and comments you do an amazing job with the camera. You never fail to disappoint with your videos. Poor dog, someone locked it in the closet and left it to die should turn the switch off so the home doesn't have power anynore. It has power because Bill is so cheap they aren't using too much so Bill isn't high enough for company to notice
That motorhome probably hasn't been used since the early 1990s. Everything points to an elderly couple who bought it new, or before it was too old, retired and lived there, travelled in the motorhome a bit, then it got too much, so they stayed at home until they either passed away or went into a long term care home.
When "stuff" is left behind and still in a spot that makes sense and isn't staged it makes me think who ever lived there last left on very unhappy or unfortunate circumstances either way didn't seem to be planning on leavening or dyeing
Those cobwebs are horrendous! Looks like a single man was the last resident, no feminine clothing or items left. No real signs of children either. I'm guessing the gentleman either died or went to jail. Sad about the dog in the closet, looks like he was left behind and forgotten. Great quality video Noah, Thanks
So literally 1000’s of houses all over the world were abandoned in the global financial credit crisis of 2008 and 2009. Cause they couldn’t pay their mortgages. It was Much more so in the U.S with ppl (mortgagees) being permitted to just hand the house keys into the bank. And run. Most of them didn’t have time or money for removalists. And faced living from then on in their car. During these house repossessions, some big attempts were made by companies hired to ‘clean out’ the houses. To save photo + important documents at least. It didn’t happen in all cases. Some houses never got emptied or re-sold by the banks. And some of those homes the banks were unable to re-sell are I think some of the houses in these videos, they are the repossessed houses from that financial crash. People HAD to walk away with nothing.
Did you find maybe some paperwork? You could look up for names maybe you finde a clue 🗝️? Regards from Serbia. By the way the video was great ..good work Noah
The dog poop all over the bedroom tells me that the dog got closed in the house, found some food, ate it all and ended up going in the closet to die by starvation.
I wonder what happened to this family! What a mystery. I thought it was odd only some of the rooms still have electricity. The new equipment improves your already fantastic videos! Thanks for touring us through this fascinating property!
It could be a number of reasons its even more mysterious when you don't know what the story is I can't see why a family would leave all there stuff behind
The owner probably passed away. Nice I saw civilization 3 as o e of the games he had, it's a really good game from back in the day, played it alot as a kid.
I'd be wondering where all these spiders are hiding at,😨and what type of spiders they are😲,and no way I'd be sleeping any where in this house,yucky poo lol,but nice video however 👍😆...
This home was definitely under renovation when whatever happened - happened hence the plastic with the painters tape going from the kitchen area into the dining/living room as well as the scaffolding. The dead animal is a mystery for sure. A cat or some other wild animal would make sense, how many believe it to be a dog (I personally couldn't tell). Motorhome doesn't surprise me, many people leave those to just sit and rot (at least here in US). Very possible whomever was in the process of renovating could have been sleeping in the motorhome and parked their car in the garage as well. The power, if they're planning on demolition soon it could have recently been turned on to use during demolition. We've had cases like that we've worked on.
Ref the "automatic" dishwasher, I remember with the other option you had to roll them out and connect the hoses in the back to the sink faucet, then run it, and put it all back again. Obviously the sink was out of commission while the dishwasher was running.
The pump running would freak me more than that fan . Someone must still pay the power bill . Power company would have cut the power without pay . Interesting
Lol I feel attacked age wise when you mentioned how "old" the computer stuff was lol 😂 new to your page and I love your stuff. I want to go explore places. I live in Colorado Springs.
I have a suggestion for your video intro. Perhaps add a video effect to the old clip recaps in the beginning that will differentiate it from the footage in the current video. Maybe an old footage effect or something.
Noah,thanks so much for this terrific video.You know how much bungalow mean to me,,being my beautiful grandma lives in a bungalow. ps,my magazines for my collection arrived and of course I'll be ordering more in a few weeks.I will always collect 70-90s tabloids and magazines and memorabilia,because it's a very nice relaxing hobby.
My guess is the owner ended up in a care facility and the property is in a trust, that’s why the power is still on, a trust not managed well, do them a favor and turn off all the breakers in the electric box, house also has electric baseboard heat some of those thermostats could be on.
@@paulsolfelt8452 it’s not even because the houses are locked, my parents don’t want me to go over to the property without permission from the dead owners
I think it was a small dog to. And i wonder if the owner died and his poor dog got left behind and no one new about it i hope not but i just don't no poor dog. I think they should bury the dog. That is my fear if i die so i leave a card in my purse to let people no i have a dog at home if something happens to me
Have you guys ever gone into a furnished abandoned home and experience it being haunted?? Any activity like things being tossed or cabinet doors opening & closing???
Pretty cool. Can tell that hose was pretty cool before it fell apart. I’d love to find a house like that in good condition. I’d leave everything as is and move in 🤣
I absolutely despise people that have no respect for other people's property and their belongings! 🤨😣 😖 😤 😡 😠 😫 😩 😠 🤨 Look at the family car with the broken rear window and the backseat window in the garage / workshop, there's just no excuse for being so destructive!!
So sad to see the behaviour of Canadians today!!!all the graffiti and vandalism!!!😡 In other countries homes abandoned for longer with more respect!!!!!🤬 today's Canadians!!!
Maybe you could explain to me. When yall go into these places and they're really abandoned. Why do ppl not take any of the stuff. Nobody wants it and it seems half the time they plan on tearing down the place anyways. Just hate seeing some of the stuff go to waist or get trashed.
Can't believe how much this series has changed since I first started watching just a few years ago in terms of quality, drone footage, etc. So so happy to get to watch these videos. Thank you for all your hard work. 😊
It’s sad to see a place like this and everything these people had just destroyed.. I bet some very genuine elderly people lived there and maybe unfortunately got ill and never got to come back home and had no kids who cared enough to take over the property for them. I bet that Buick too is basically brand new/was anyway, sad to see that just ruined too. I appreciate the respect you have for these places.
It appears that this place was owned by a single male. Mainly spent his time in the basement, come up only to sleep. Probably died at his job. Literally, went out one day and never came back. If I am right, it looks he doesn't have friends nor a family, or if he had, they are/ were probably not in the same country.
