Stepping into this house was like being transported back to a different time. So much of it is still so well preserved, it's almost as if the owners would be back any day now. / doesntsaydont / doesntsaydont
From the looks of it, the people who owned the house either went away or had something happen. Signs indicate maybe an older couple, and with the cars still there... The original owners probably cared, but their kids may not have so much, if they're still around. Also it's almost never that I see an UrbEx video where the house hasn't been absolutely trashed by people coming in to root through things, I think this is the first one I've seen where everything's as the owners left it.
I definitely think you nailed it. I'm sure it was an older couple that passed away and left it to their kids. Given the state it was left in (locked doors, partially packed, etc), I think it would be safe to say that they don't live in the area anymore. It's strange to me that they never sold it though. But who knows. And yea, I'm glad no one has found and looted this house yet. It's cleanliness gives it a "sacred" kind of vibe. I wouldn't want that ruined.
Really cool! I'd put the vintage of abandonment at early 2000s, just based upon the tech and having not seen a calendar or anything else to note it. The locked bedrooms, especially the two masters have a really great sense of just being entirely untouched, like the residents just left for work. The living room decoration could've been straight out of my aunt's house circa late 90s. What a trip down nostalgia lane. Glad this channel popped up on my feed, I really get Proper People vibes from how you treated the place with respect and were just there to document and bring the viewer along for the ride. Will definitely be keeping up with y'all! Thanks for uploading.
Welcome to the channel! Definitely early 2000s is what I was thinking as well. I should've taken the time to check some expiration dates or look for calendars. It completely slipped my mind at the time. I'll definitely keep a look out for things like that in the future!
It was impressive to see how well preserved everything was. Part of me finds it very fascinating and would want to stay for a while and just investigate the lives of the people who lived there. Another part of me would want to let it stay in peace, almost as a sacred graveyard for the memories of the people who lived there. I appreciate how you really didn't disturb anything and left it as you found it. It is sad to me though that a lot of the items like some of the furniture, handmade quilts, family pictures, and even books are going to be lost forever and future generations of that family may never know about them. Anyways, thanks for sharing and taking us along on your explorations!
This was how it felt for me too. It had a very "sacred" quality to it. Honestly, this is the first house/building we've been in that I felt strange being in... Like someone did and still does care about the place even if they haven't kept up with it.
You’re very respectful. This house can be saved if someone would just put a new roof on and fix the parts of the ceiling where it’s showing leaks. It’s a shame to let it sit there and rot.
Thanks for sharing this, awesome video. Wish you woulda checked expiration date on mouthwash is only thing I would add. Glad you respected the untouched bedrooms.
That is a great idea. Wish I would've thought of that. I didn't think to try and date anything in the house in the moment. Would've given a nice glimpse into how long the property has been abandoned.
What gives you the right to break into someone's house and broadcast what was their private life on the net? After you're done, others find where it is, riffle through personal belongings and rob. That's what recently happened to an elderly man's grand Victorion home I just checked on. He was away for a year. Apon his return and seeing 60 years of his life violated and destroyed, I don't know how he'll get through.
I'm sure after the home owner wakes from his coma. And is released from the facility he's been in for the last 20 years. He won't remember who he is or where he lives
This house is in Dalton, Ga. I'm from north Georgia. I thought I recognized that long driveway. We used to live at the end of a long paved driveway up in Cartersville, Ga. I MISS MY MOUNTAINS. North Ga. is the most beautiful place next to Heaven. The sweetgum trees are to die for!
I think if you have a basic address of the home, you could go to the county seat and find out if the owner passed or if there are any owner, who they are etc.
A well-secured, untouched home belonging to a deceased person. You jimmy an access and make it look like the front door just happened to be left open after checking all the other doors. You cased the interior prior to filming, leaving cupboards, etc, open so as to appear that others had been there, hiding calendars and datable signs. I hope the law and heirs catch up with you.
This house is terrifying, dunno why but immediately into it and up until it was over I had the worst feeling in my gut.. Like I was gonna throw up and suffocate ekkkk
It had a very strange feeling inside when I was there. The dark, cramped hallway, the locked doors, and general tidiness of it gave off a very "still lived in" kind of vibe which is eerie.
Guys do you see that collect so much and you cant bring it to Heaven when you die and stil it is sad it get ruin and that no one can come and collect all and sell it or give away....i am so to collect no i use to be i stil fighting against it as a Christian so much you dont nead only collect dust and get ruin...any way thanks for a great video..
So sad to see someones special things and special places left to rot for whatever reason. A death with no family left or maybe the owner is in a care center ? I would love to know how many miles were on the car ! lol
This was the mostly neatest and well organized abandoned home that I have seen on YT. While I admire your near reverent treatment of it while exploring inside, I fail to understand why you did not jimmy or even kick the locked bedroom doors open? Its not like someone important would be angry or upset if you had. Thing is...at least two ceilings of that house are gonna cave in and soon. So any minor damage caused by visitors will not matter in the long run. Rrally wish that I could filtch all or most of those books...but at age 67...ìt no longer matters. My priorities have radically changed since I left my 50s!!
Hey. When I do my explores, I like to experience them as a visitor, no need to take anything or more anything just as I would in someone else's house. Also, the doors didn't need to be kicked in because of the style of locks they had. Simply pushing in a pen or other slim object like that would be enough to unlock the door. I know the ceilings are very close to caving in, but I would rather not be a contributing factor to the houses eventual demise. I think there is still plenty to save here tbh. Thanks for watching!!
@@DoesntSayDont Yes there still are many things that could be useful to those with a blood or friendship connection to the former occupants. But since I never knew that there were so many homes that still contained the missing or deceased residents' possessions...years or even decades later...that makes me believe that the chances are slim at best. Guess that I always thought that any unclaimed posessions would be either auctioned off or disposed of by the new mortgage holder, or their creditors to settle debts still owed.
Yea, those are good points. I assume someone must be paying either the property taxes or whatever is left on the mortgage of the house. Given the age of some of the computer hardware, I'd assume the house has been sitting vacant since the early 2000s so it's most likely fully paid off. As long as the taxes are being paid, I guess there's nothing that can really be done about any of it. If those stop getting paid, I'd assume the state/bank would eventually step in and do something about it. Who knows.
these are always so strange, why they just get up and leave. I think the death reportd would be there and the house would be lived in or demolished. Im not an expert but thats just what i think.
I betcha this was a very nice place in its lived in days . I wish you knew the dates and owners . if looking through a few of those binders you could have known more .. I wouldn't understand why any would just up and leave it without selling ? Maybe the owners were murdered ? Or suicide murder case or maybe sasquatch scared them off ? Lol I wish you knew .. By the way .. Why did you even go in there unless you had permission and from whom ? Non of this makes sense .. If you wanted to know more history here you would read some papers , even in bibles covers !
It really makes me want to cut down on the things I hold on to. I know 99% of my things will just end up being trashed anyway. I'd rather not leave that burden for someone else.
