I am currently taking restoration arts for school. I learn how to restore historic homes and buildings to period. This home is around the corner from a friend of mine and I fell in love with it about 6 years ago. This house made me decide that I wanted to go to school for that. Currently trying to talk to the sisters that own it to buy it off them and restore it! The woman that owned it passed in the late 90s and a man was squatting here for a few years. He's now in a retirement home and the urban exporter that found him help him get in there after she found him when looking at this house.
I've been watching for awhile and it's so sad to see these beautiful old homes just empty and sad... I lived on a farm for awhile, loved every minute of it!
I love all the natural light and large open rooms. Some of the old wall paper was pretty also. Sad, this could be a really sweet "doll house". I would not have so many different patterns of paper that have no consistance or color theme though. Lol
Pam, I have been watching a lot of other 'Urban Explorers' but you are by far the best! So brave! Your filming is smooth and slow enough to see all and your narration is spot on! Thank you for doing these! So interesting to 'go along with you'.
Hey Pam, I enjoyed this one very much! Old farm houses are the best. Lots of room in this one. Love the tall windows to let in lots of sunlight! Thanks for sharing and always Be Safe!! :)
Although a newspaper may be laying about doesn't necessarily mean anything,it may have been saved for some reason.Love your narration Great Video,bet this used to be a really cozy place.Thank-you and stay safe.
I agree. I love your videos. My Step-Dad and I watch. We like Yours the best because you explain as You go. Top Notch! (We appreciate old houses/architecture.) We like seeing ones that have not been wrecked by vandals. Looking forward To more! #QueenOfUrbex!
What a beautiful place! You can tell the original plasterers took very great care in going this one for their work to hold up to the elements as well as the shifting of the house. Thanks for another great video. :)
Great video, so many abandoned Buildings in the us, me and my daughter explores in sweden, but we has´nt find as lot as you ! Thank you for great experiance videos! :)
This one was quite nice. Nice to see one without all the vandalism. From an abandoned standpoint seems in pretty good shape. Looks as it had your trademark Christmas items. I really enjoyed this one! Thanks for sharing!
Great Video Tiki. As Jason mentioned, you are lucky to find places without all the vandals tags. It so hard to find a place in PA that has not been destroyed
Thanks, Steve. Yeah, it's nice to not see any vandalism. I find the places closer to (or inside) the cities to be more heavily vandalized here. This one was pretty much hidden far away in the boonies.
That heater was so cool! I think it was a coal burning stove. I was in Connellsville Pa. today, There by the road, was a shack with three piles of coal outside. Lights were on in the shack early AM. Coal lives! Neat stuff Tiki! Thanks again!
Great job as always Pam. Dont know if it would be worth trying to save that house, now maybe some of the molding strips door frames etc to be used but with that much tilt/lean to it probably to expensive to restore
Loved this video! It reminds me a bit of the old farm house I lived in for 17 years, but the style is different. It also had the field stone foundation in the cellar and the wide plank floors. My old house was built between 1795 and 1805 and it needed a LOT of TLC! The people who bought it, love it! And I don't know HOW I missed seeing this video before now.
Tiki, I love the Gothic front.❤️. I can't believe that the foundation caused the tilting of the house.Thanks for showing us the video.👍 God Bless and be safe.🙏🙏 Cathy,Ohio, 🇱🇷🌻
There are actually people on TH-cam who would actually sample the contents of that mystery jar lol. 15 years ago in my area, the countryside was dotted with old abandoned farm houses, but they are nearly all gone now due to the consolidation of farms. I think someone probably "repurposed" the wood flooring in that room.
Glass is a fickle thing. If glass were perfect, it would be much stronger than steel. But glass is not perfect; its surface is full of tiny cracks, too small for the human eye to see. These cracks slowly creep along the glass. This is why a glass can be dropped several times and not break. Then one day it will shatter into a million pieces. Glass “remembers” every stress it receives. If you jar the glass, the cracks can grow quickly - as fast as 60 miles per hour! Most amazing is that this behavior is so strange, considering that glass is not really a solid. Glass never truly solidifies from a thick liquid state. Sometimes you can even see the sag caused by the flowing glass on windowpanes that are over a century old.
That house is incredible! I love gothic architecture, but to see that bathroom which looks like it was remodelled in 1986, is awesome! The pastel colours along with that gothic window are killer!
Thankyou so much for taking me to another house of history! Every time I see them I wish they could be restored. This one is really neat!! My own house was built in '42, and when I walked in I knew it would be work, but that's fun! People got to save the old houses! Thankyou again, can't wait till next time :-)
Hi! This must be about the 40th video of yours I've seen, and of course I've also just subscribed to you so I can't wait for more of your adventures! This actually looked like a beautiful home. With the right people this could be fixed up into a home worth coveting! I'm pleased to see such relatively great interior spaces inside and thank goodness you showed this for the world to see. It's also a treat hearing you talk with your exotic (to me) Canadian accent! I'm from Texas so you might consider my twang equally exotic, but my voice isn't nearly as hypnotic as yours. Take care and thanks for all your videos!
ladyi7609 Thanks for subscribing and watching so many of my videos. It means a lot. I also appreciate the kind words. I actually love listening to the southern twang.
***** Hey, you're very welcome! I'm now up to about 76 of your videos I've viewed and I'm pretty much disregarding anything on TV in favor of watching yet another of your videos. Your expert camera work, lovely narration, soothing (almost lugubrious) voice, thoroughness, and bravery have me hooked, so thank YOU! And it all began with your Centralia video, since I was just searching for any footage about that here on TH-cam. Oh, I should probably tell you about the dream you (or how I imagine you looking like, anyway) appeared in last night, but in more of a private manner. Also, I just found out a department store I used to go to as a child has been abandoned for two decades! Now I really wish I had the time to drop by and explore, because of your influence and inspiration! And thanks for being a fan of the twang!
Yep, I love your Canadian accent also, and I'm right in the center of Texas. I look forward to every video and the way you walk us thru them. God bless and keep Yall safe on you exploration s
One more great find & tour. Love the old classic wall paper. We all need a little salt & pepper in our lives. This house is almost, move in ready. • Cheers from Michigan
Gee whiz! I thought you found my brain! well, we got the chair and the Christmas stuff. Seems curtains last ,too. I love the effect of the curtains wafting in the wind. Makes it sort of film noir-ish.Again you produced a very enjoyable video. I get lost in these old homes and my thoughts make up fantasies of how the families were and why they left. I could write little fables about them. Thank you again, Tiki-Pam.
Hi Pam Just got back from Thailand this morning so a wee bit jet lagged, nice to see you exploring again. now Thailand a place to go to do some exploring, lots of abandoned buildings & the good thing is if the cops catch you just slip them a few baht & rock on. :-]]]]
I guess they stopped renovations because it was an uphill battle! I lived in a farm house like that where everything was slanted. Yes that was the devils sign, a pentagram.Thanks for the tour!
Damn girl your so brave ! you walk right down into the basement like you own the joint ! I really like your videos ! you show all around smooth footage with special attention to dates and structural detail .
Thank you Tiki, what a sweet house, love the doors, trim & beautiful floors, what a shame some younger family member hasn't snached it up ! Awesome video !
As usual, an amazing video TikiTrex! I'm sitting here with my 9 year old daughter, riveted and glued to the screen! I think we'll watch a few more tonight...
I find it kinda eerie the way the white curtains blow in the wind, and also, a Time Magazine from '63? WOW, fifty years old, but I understand you want to leave the place the way it was which I appreciate. I like urban explorers, I don't like vandals and robbers.
Bingeing all the videos I missed from a few years ago, too many to comment on each one, but all your explores are so great hope you'll do more soon. The respect you pay to each location is so nice to see. Also, too many comments here, so someone may have mentioned this already, but pentacles are not necessarily a symbol of satanism, it is more directly connected to eath based religions like Wicca. Most times when you see this in old houses it's just vandals, but since this looks like a salt circle someone may have performed a séance and the symbol would have been for protection, not something with an evil intention. Hope that helps you to feel more comfortable if you see things like this in the future. ❤
I enjoyed exploring with you again. I agree with some of the others: This house isn't in such bad shape, and a cable show would probably get a good audience. A question: What did you mean when you said the house was slanting up or down?
Thanks, Douglas. Glad you enjoyed exploring with me. The house was slanted down towards the front so that when you walked towards the back, it felt like you were walking uphill. Obviously a foundation issue.
Doesn't it seem logical that if part of the structure slants UP the opposite part would slant DOWN! Or one side is slanted down & the other up. All depends upon your point of view, right? You know, like the glass is half full but the pessimist arrives and declares, "But the other part is half empty!". An interesting discussion, maybe.
I watch these videos on my iPad, my volume could be a bit louder. Thanks so much for the tour! I live in Alabama and I say I'm a guy. You sure are brave going in these spooky looking houses. I'd be terrified in what I may find. Safe exploring. Love the videos...
what a shame to see all these beautiful houses wasted like this...(one of my favorite is the cat lady's house.omg.. what a house.) it makes me feel sad to think of the life these houses had.. filled with laughter/music/ talking/cooking, etc.. and then the silence..dead to the world.. .only the wind/rain/cold and heat..to keep company... i really do enjoy watching them.. wish i can tour around and get the real feeling that you get.. I love your vidoes Tiki they are awesome. you take the camera exactly to the place i would like to go.. to every corner of the house.. so that i dont go say .. "oh noo dont miss that corner" or 'this corner.".. thats one great thing about your videos and you tell us the whole story .. the explanations..not the silent video..which some times makes me wonder.. "whats that and this"...You Rock.. keep the videos going.. good luck!!!
My grandparent house had that same pink tile with black cap tiles in the bathroom.. This house was probably built in the 1950's or so....nice find Teek'
Enjoyed the description on the fun house, loved the window in the bathroom, all it needs is stained glass. Pickeled brains?....hmmmm. My first home was a log house built in1860 with direct ties to our Civil War and the Underground Railroad. Was 1 of 2 houses in county with underground smoke house. There wasn't a level room in that house. Thx for another interesting exploration. Maybe we all will see you on History channel in future. Enjoy your work..., and your passion
Keep noticing these old cabinet doors and French style doors in these epps I can't stop watching. They're so beautiful, and could make a lot of money for those that own these properties :/ what a waste of craftsmanship :( this is one of my new favorite channels I've stumbled on. You could start a show on travel channel so u could travel further and find more places :) I'd def watch it!
I wish i had the guts to do urbex...too scared though. This house is gorgeous, wish i could find one in good shape just like it, i'd move in in a heartbeat! And as always, great video, thank you!
its sad to see these abandon homes. the work they put into these homes and then to have them fall apart. Oh Pam, BTW I metal detect and heck it wud be great to metal detect these homes you find ! No doubt theres alot of silver coins and maybe even gold under the ground of some of these homes !
Hi Mick! Yes, no raccoons in this one! Glad you liked the jar of brains, lol! It really had me wondering when I first saw it. Thanks for exploring with me.
I love these videos. I have always been fascinated by old and abandoned buildings. Especially barns and such. These would make great horror film locations. You have probably been asked this a million times, but have you ever encountered any squatters or hostile people in any of these places?
It is a popular question. I haven't come across any squatters as of yet. Only the remnants of them. As far as hostile people, I haven't, fortunately. They've all been empty.
TikiTrex I love your videos and explorations. They are so interesting and informative. You have opened a new world for me with your Urban Explorations. I am originally from Canada and love to see the old farm houses you explore. I do wonder why so many of these homes seem to be filled with peoples belongings and wonder why families didn't takes alot of these personal things with them. Do you have any insight into why. Thanks.
+Arlene Campbell Thanks, Arlene. It is a mystery as to why people leave so many belongings behind. I can only guess that in most cases, the owners died, and the family they were survived by weren't interested in the belongings. And in some cases, there weren't any family to leave the items to.
Hi tiki...your really good at what you do and a lot of explorers can learn so much from you, especially on keeping a steady hand while recording and theres no one quite as brave as you not even the men...they're actually pretty big chickens lol...tiki there are so many abandoned houses in Alberta that you could probably explore...keep up the good work tiki...your awesome!!! :-)
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words, Carol! I appreciate it, and hope to make it to Alberta later in the season to film some abandoned mining towns. :)
... WoW, that was a awesome house in it's day , such a shame they left it go the way they did ,could've still been a cozy little looking home.hanks for sharing w/ us , as always great video 💗
Thanks! Nice to "meet" you as well, lol. I'm not crazy over basements, and I think this is the first one I've done where you enter through a trap door.
At 2:04, "I wonder what that is?" Those metal objects came from the bottom of the firebox on a wood or coal burning stove. A crank that fitted over the ends of the shafts allowed them to be turned a bit to stir up the fire.
Nice house but creepy..i love it^^ great vid as always , tiki....i'm too chicken to explore abandon place, especially dark basement..thank you for showing me those kind of place..
Brains in a jar! Yeeeeeeeeeesh! It's remarkable that most of the curtains are still there and still look okay. ps--I agree with Daniel, you should be on cable. Your videos are way better than the junk they show.
i agree with Shay and Daniel.. send your videos to History channel or NGeo.or discovery. they would be thrilled (I bet) and we will have more interesting stuff to watch on TV..and you can become a milionaire and own all these abandoned beautiful treasures.. LOL.. wont that be amazing..?? mmmmm...;).
Wow another great tour I must admit you are the best one at this. Your interesting to listen to as well. More guts than I do going into all those basements. Well keep up the great work and please be careful. I am ill and spend a lot of time watching this and I always look forward to anything you do. Thank you so much.
I am currently taking restoration arts for school. I learn how to restore historic homes and buildings to period.

I've been watching for awhile and it's so sad to see these beautiful old homes just empty and sad... I lived on a farm for awhile, loved every minute of it!
What an Amazing Place!
Loved the Various Wallpaper Patterns-And that Neat Little Stove!
Thanks So Much, for Sharing!
You are not scared of basements. I admire you!
I love all the natural light and large open rooms. Some of the old wall paper was pretty also. Sad, this could be a really sweet "doll house". I would not have so many different patterns of paper that have no consistance or color theme though. Lol

The walls are super gorgeous.
You convey such a deep desire to know the history of these houses.
Very old house. Wallpaper everywhere. Looks like you'd need a ladder to reach those upper cabinets @ 2:43 . Great video. Thanks for the tour.
That's chairs chillin!✌💙😀
That was an awesome house! I would totally renovate it if I could! Very beautiful! Great job as always!
Just awesome, thank you for sharing
What a beautiful place! You can tell the original plasterers took very great care in going this one for their work to hold up to the elements as well as the shifting of the house. Thanks for another great video. :)
Perfect wood stove!
Thank you for sharing this house with us!
My pleasure! :)
Great video, so many abandoned Buildings in the us, me and my daughter explores in sweden, but we has´nt find as lot as you ! Thank you for great experiance videos! :)
Welcome back! Good to see another video
This one was quite nice. Nice to see one without all the vandalism. From an abandoned standpoint seems in pretty good shape. Looks as it had your trademark Christmas items. I really enjoyed this one! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, the Christmas items seems to be a common denominator in the places here. Glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks for stopping by.
You're very brave to go in those dark basements alone...my hats off to you. :) Love your videos. Keep 'em coming. thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate your comment and am glad you like the videos! More to come :)
Great Video Tiki. As Jason mentioned, you are lucky to find places without all the vandals tags. It so hard to find a place in PA that has not been destroyed
Thanks, Steve. Yeah, it's nice to not see any vandalism. I find the places closer to (or inside) the cities to be more heavily vandalized here. This one was pretty much hidden far away in the boonies.
Great video as always. Lovin the new profile picture as well!
Thank you! Glad you like them both!
The wallpaper house. What a difference between the first floor and second floor.
That heater was so cool! I think it was a coal burning stove. I was in Connellsville Pa. today, There by the road, was a shack with three piles of coal outside. Lights were on in the shack early AM. Coal lives! Neat stuff Tiki! Thanks again!
Your so good at this... you need a tv show!
send your videos to the discovery or history channels, they have far less entertaining things going on than you do.
daniel dell Haha, thanks so much, Daniel.
Great job as always Pam. Dont know if it would be worth trying to save that house, now maybe some of the molding strips door frames etc to be used but with that much tilt/lean to it probably to expensive to restore
Thanks, Rich! Yes, I guess if the foundation is that bad, it would be difficult to save without a lot of work and expense.
Loved this video! It reminds me a bit of the old farm house I lived in for 17 years, but the style is different. It also had the field stone foundation in the cellar and the wide plank floors. My old house was built between 1795 and 1805 and it needed a LOT of TLC! The people who bought it, love it! And I don't know HOW I missed seeing this video before now.
Tiki,
I love the Gothic front.❤️. I can't believe that the foundation caused the tilting of the house.Thanks for showing us the video.👍
God Bless and be safe.🙏🙏
Cathy,Ohio, 🇱🇷🌻
The things sitting on the counter are part of a grate shaker from a wood or coal stove/furnace
So not "soil enrichers" after all LOL
There are actually people on TH-cam who would actually sample the contents of that mystery jar lol.
15 years ago in my area, the countryside was dotted with old abandoned farm houses, but they are nearly all gone now due to the consolidation of farms.
I think someone probably "repurposed" the wood flooring in that room.
I wouldn't doubt it, lol. And I agree about the floor. It seemed too neatly cut.
Thanks Tiki
Beautiful home, could see the original wavey glass on some windows.
Glass is a fickle thing. If glass were perfect, it would be much stronger than steel. But glass is not perfect; its surface is full of tiny cracks, too small for the human eye to see. These cracks slowly creep along the glass. This is why a glass can be dropped several times and not break. Then one day it will shatter into a million pieces. Glass “remembers” every stress it receives. If you jar the glass, the cracks can grow quickly - as fast as 60 miles per hour!
Most amazing is that this behavior is so strange, considering that glass is not really a solid. Glass never truly solidifies from a thick liquid state. Sometimes you can even see the sag caused by the flowing glass on windowpanes that are over a century old.
I have said this before, you're a brave lady to go into these houses, especially the basements.
That house is incredible! I love gothic architecture, but to see that bathroom which looks like it was remodelled in 1986, is awesome! The pastel colours along with that gothic window are killer!
Nice job and thankyou!
Thanks!
What a beautiful home! I loved the floral wallpaper in one room. Can see it belonged once to a lady by the wrappings for ladies shoes on the floor!
When you went into the basement, I was a little scared. Great video.
Thanks.
What a pretty little house. So sad that it's been left to decay.
One of my favourite places you've explored so far. This would have made a lovely family home so sad to see it left to rot.
This is a beautiful house, than you for showing it, I wish I had a home like this one, it would be a labor of love to restore it.
Thankyou so much for taking me to another house of history!
Every time I see them I wish they could be restored. This one is really neat!! My own house was built in '42, and when I walked in I knew it would be work, but that's fun! People got to save the old houses!
Thankyou again, can't wait till next time :-)
You're very welcome, Gary! I appreciate you coming along! I did like the layout of this one along with the amount of room. I have more to come :)

One more great find & tour. Love the old classic wall paper. We all need a little salt & pepper in our lives. This house is almost, move in ready.

what a wonderful old house, thanks for taking us along Pam..Stay Safe!
My pleasure! Thanks as always! :)
What an elegant house It must have been lovely in it's day. I really look forward to your videos. They are by far the best.
Just love the door in the floor. Put a rug on top & no one would suspect it was there.
That sure is a cool old house..
I love watching ur videos! It's very interesting looking around abandoned buildings :)
Cool Old house. Thanks for sharing it.
Hi Pam Just got back from Thailand this morning so a wee bit jet lagged, nice to see you exploring again. now Thailand a place to go to do some exploring, lots of abandoned buildings & the good thing is if the cops catch you just slip them a few baht & rock on. :-]]]]
Hi Craig! Wow, does sound like a very ideal to explore! I hope you enjoyed your trip.
Love the layout of the place, and some of that wall paper design was pretty! Thanks for another awesome explore.
The jar at 12:10 contains chopped green olives.I know because I buy them.Excellent work!
I guess they stopped renovations because it was an uphill battle! I lived in a farm house like that where everything was slanted. Yes that was the devils sign, a pentagram.Thanks for the tour!
Dumb kids, eh? At least they didn't tear the place up. It looks more like something out of Pokemon considering how poorly they did it haha
LOL @ "Uphill battle"! Why didn't I think of that! Thanks as always, Jim!
hehe good one. Valiantly trudging up the slanted halls of no man's land :)
This house is so savable.
Damn girl your so brave ! you walk right down into the basement like you own the joint ! I really like your videos ! you show all around smooth footage with special attention to dates and structural detail .
What a shame, at least this one is not so far gone it could be ressurected
Thank you Tiki, what a sweet house, love the doors, trim & beautiful floors, what a shame some younger family member hasn't snached it up ! Awesome video !
Thank you, Gina!
What a gorgeous little place
Tire tracks look fresh.. but amazing views of the house, also would love to have those curtains.. and the entire house..
When you said you needed two hands for the trap door, I actually started to reach out to my screen! ;)
Nice Gothic bathroom!
As usual, an amazing video TikiTrex! I'm sitting here with my 9 year old daughter, riveted and glued to the screen! I think we'll watch a few more tonight...
AudiophileTubes That is so awesome! I hope you both enjoy!
Awesome job, I can picture my home office in that back (bright) room. So sad to see these houses with character falling apart.
I find it kinda eerie the way the white curtains blow in the wind, and also, a Time Magazine from '63? WOW, fifty years old, but I understand you want to leave the place the way it was which I appreciate. I like urban explorers, I don't like vandals and robbers.
I would love to redo this house, starting with the slant! Thanks for sharing ;)
Bingeing all the videos I missed from a few years ago, too many to comment on each one, but all your explores are so great hope you'll do more soon.

Much enjoyed, thanks!
I'm curious what a room in your house looks like. I imagine you have a unique taste of decor. I like your videos and the narration you do.
I enjoyed exploring with you again. I agree with some of the others: This house isn't in such bad shape, and a cable show would probably get a good audience. A question: What did you mean when you said the house was slanting up or down?

Dang you guys have a long winter
This was actually filmed in the spring. Our weather has been pretty hot and humid now.
what a shame to see all these beautiful houses wasted like this...(one of my favorite is the cat lady's house.omg.. what a house.) it makes me feel sad to think of the life these houses had.. filled with laughter/music/ talking/cooking, etc.. and then the silence..dead to the world.. .only the wind/rain/cold and heat..to keep company... i really do enjoy watching them.. wish i can tour around and get the real feeling that you get..
I love your vidoes Tiki they are awesome. you take the camera exactly to the place i would like to go.. to every corner of the house.. so that i dont go say .. "oh noo dont miss that corner" or 'this corner.".. thats one great thing about your videos and you tell us the whole story .. the explanations..not the silent video..which some times makes me wonder.. "whats that and this"...You Rock.. keep the videos going.. good luck!!!
asankaw1 cat lady’s house with the glass porch surrounding for the cats to look outside? They tore that down last year or the year before :(
My grandparent house had that same pink tile with black cap tiles in the bathroom.. This house was probably built in the 1950's or so....nice find Teek'
That was a beautiful home, so unfortunate it was abandoned.
Enjoyed the description on the fun house, loved the window in the bathroom, all it needs is stained glass. Pickeled brains?....hmmmm. My first home was a log house built in1860 with direct ties to our Civil War and the Underground Railroad. Was 1 of 2 houses in county with underground smoke house. There wasn't a level room in that house. Thx for another interesting exploration. Maybe we all will see you on History channel in future. Enjoy your work..., and your passion
Keep noticing these old cabinet doors and French style doors in these epps I can't stop watching. They're so beautiful, and could make a lot of money for those that own these properties :/ what a waste of craftsmanship :( this is one of my new favorite channels I've stumbled on. You could start a show on travel channel so u could travel further and find more places :) I'd def watch it!
I wish i had the guts to do urbex...too scared though. This house is gorgeous, wish i could find one in good shape just like it, i'd move in in a heartbeat! And as always, great video, thank you!
its sad to see these abandon homes. the work they put into these homes and then to have them fall apart. Oh Pam, BTW I metal detect and heck it wud be great to metal detect these homes you find ! No doubt theres alot of silver coins and maybe even gold under the ground of some of these homes !
Oh, I bet!
Hi Pam, thanks for the walk through, nice to see there wasn't any Racoons about this time! and i loved the jar of brains lol Mick
Hi Mick! Yes, no raccoons in this one! Glad you liked the jar of brains, lol! It really had me wondering when I first saw it. Thanks for exploring with me.

I saw the freezer and I wondered starting there. Every time you open that stuff I keep thinking one of these days....
I love these videos. I have always been fascinated by old and abandoned buildings. Especially barns and such. These would make great horror film locations. You have probably been asked this a million times, but have you ever encountered any squatters or hostile people in any of these places?
It is a popular question. I haven't come across any squatters as of yet. Only the remnants of them. As far as hostile people, I haven't, fortunately. They've all been empty.
Another great video !!, thank for share and good job.
Thank you so much!
TikiTrex I love your videos and explorations. They are so interesting and informative. You have opened a new world for me with your Urban Explorations. I am originally from Canada and love to see the old farm houses you explore. I do wonder why so many of these homes seem to be filled with peoples belongings and wonder why families didn't takes alot of these personal things with them. Do you have any insight into why. Thanks.
+Arlene Campbell Thanks, Arlene. It is a mystery as to why people leave so many belongings behind. I can only guess that in most cases, the owners died, and the family they were survived by weren't interested in the belongings. And in some cases, there weren't any family to leave the items to.
Hi tiki...your really good at what you do and a lot of explorers can learn so much from you, especially on keeping a steady hand while recording and theres no one quite as brave as you not even the men...they're actually pretty big chickens lol...tiki there are so many abandoned houses in Alberta that you could probably explore...keep up the good work tiki...your awesome!!! :-)
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words, Carol! I appreciate it, and hope to make it to Alberta later in the season to film some abandoned mining towns. :)
Wow good find pam. I love the wood work
Thanks, Thom!
jeez you're so brave!! that was one creepy basement!
... WoW, that was a awesome house in it's day , such a shame they left it go the way they did ,could've still been a cozy little looking home.hanks for sharing w/ us , as always great video 💗
Thanks, Kat!
Pam , another great video thanks!!!
My pleasure. Thank you!
So your name is Pam! Nice to meet you lol
Basements and freezers with the doors closed always creep me out.
Great video as usual!
Thanks! Nice to "meet" you as well, lol. I'm not crazy over basements, and I think this is the first one I've done where you enter through a trap door.
At 2:04, "I wonder what that is?" Those metal objects came from the bottom of the firebox on a wood or coal burning stove. A crank that fitted over the ends of the shafts allowed them to be turned a bit to stir up the fire.
Nice house but creepy..i love it^^ great vid as always , tiki....i'm too chicken to explore abandon place, especially dark basement..thank you for showing me those kind of place..
I could imagine this would be a great project flip!! Actually I would purchase the place and renovate and live in it.
I love videos and places like this and I always wonder why they left how and when they did. It's always a bit eerie.....
Brains in a jar! Yeeeeeeeeeesh! It's remarkable that most of the curtains are still there and still look okay.
ps--I agree with Daniel, you should be on cable. Your videos are way better than the junk they show.
Aww, thank you, Shay!
i agree with Shay and Daniel.. send your videos to History channel or NGeo.or discovery. they would be thrilled (I bet) and we will have more interesting stuff to watch on TV..and you can become a milionaire and own all these abandoned beautiful treasures.. LOL.. wont that be amazing..?? mmmmm...;).
Great tour. Very nice house, it still looks very nice. ;)
Thank you, Daniel. :)
It wouldn't take much to make this a nice home for someone again. Still a cute house.
Wow another great tour I must admit you are the best one at this. Your interesting to listen to as well. More guts than I do going into all those basements. Well keep up the great work and please be careful. I am ill and spend a lot of time watching this and I always look forward to anything you do. Thank you so much.
You're most welcome, Nola! And thank you for such a nice comment! It means a lot! Sorry to hear you're not well. I hope my videos help. :)
You always find Christmas decorations and that one lone chair.
looks more like someone liked the nice hardwood floor then wanted to renovate!!
