Do you think Mr. David Abercrombie ever imaged his mansion would end up in this state after his passing? Its sad that people have destroyed something that he probably cherished. I can't imagine how many nights they spent up top just watching the sunset.
@@munroboice1542 I'm with you, I'm79 and my thought is the kids are not taught respect and self worth anymore. It's all a game. But I'd guarantee if someone did this to anything thing or place of theirs they would crap.
Oh, my gosh -- I LOVE this! I've always loved restoring old buildings/homes, etc and bringing life back into them. This structure could TOTALLY be restored and lived in, again (with as much of the woodwork, beams, metal steps and stone as possible kept intact) -- if a person with the needed resources was behind it. What's its current status, if you know? Is it for sale?
Thank you for showing us this beautiful place! I love history and I am also an artist, it's upsetting to see graffiti everywhere, I understand the art behind it but I think somewhere like this should be preserved so people could see what is left of it's true beauty..
I'll never understand some people's urge to vandalize and spray graffiti . Some of the craftsmen and the original owner that built that place would shed some tears to see it today . The sad end to a vision and dream come true .
Unemployed, uneducated with the "If I can't have it, no one else can" attitude. Look at the demographics in Westchester and that will provide most of the answers to your questions.
Humans are weird. Some want to create and build, some want to tear it all down. It's like an endless cycle keeping everything balanced. Imagine how much better these videos would be though if no one vandalized these places and we trust got to see a look into the past.
Never seen it before . That's because " Mobile Instinct " is my explorer channel . You don't clammer or sensationalize . You tell the story as you go . Don't ever change .
Amazing place and would be nice if it could be renovated and brought back to life. Have seen so many buildings like this that are left to rot away as no one wants to spend the money to restore buildings like this. I do wish that vandals would stop defacing walls and rendering a building like this to trash and have no respect for someones else property. Its been abandoned for reasons and its for others to visit and wonder at the immense structure and imagine what it looked like in its hay day and not to be destroyed. Thanks for sharing!
You know that's really quite a place. The craftsmanship was outstanding. To bad the vandals took it over throughout the years. Their name is well known to this day. Thanks for the tour, Mike
When the video first started I thought you may have been at the Overlook Hotel Ruins in Woodstock, NY. That's another one that's amazing to see, it's on a heavily trafficked hiking trail/access road. It's worth the hike though to see it. Thank you for sharing this though, it's always amazing to see how people once lived in such extravagance.
When I retire in a few short years I want to do what you are doing and travel the country seeing places like this. Truly enjoy your videos and the history you share.
Its absolutely amazing 🌟😍 The history is fascinating! Once again, the graffiti has ruined the spectacular charm of the stonework and ornate beauty of this castle!
Oh, I don't know. I don't think it's that bad. I've seen gutted castles restored. Brick and stone walled buildings usually retain their structural soundness even after a fire consumes the wood parts. It looks like there is still a good portion of meat there. If someone could get a grant from a govt. historic agency, it might be doable. I grant you I haven't seen it firsthand, but it's way too epic to see a wrecking ball. Anyhow, great vid!
Hi Chris, I have seen this before when Exploring with Josh was there, it really is a gorgeous place or at least was. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
5 stories, I have handful abandoned channels I follow, never seen it, that is so cool, one of your best videos, picnic area outside, died 64 years old, excellent filiming, hear a girl voice in background, no wonder not scared, but not even haunted, surprised cool beans, train was haunted.
That was so fun getting to see inside and all the different rooms and levels and staircases. The view at the top was beautiful. I agree with you all windows up there enclosed would be best. The beams and arched doorways and arched windows throughout and in the great room were lovely. Beautiful stone everywhere. Thank you for taking everyone with you on this tour.
That was really great. I have seen some other times where people I follow have come there. I like seeing different shots and hearing different twists on stories with twists on facts. You do a awesome job.
I never heard tell of this place, but i thoroughly enjoyed the tour. What a complete shame...i'll be this was a BEAUTIFUL place at one time. Thanks for the upload! Good job!
Could not do the mattress challenge, but thank you for showing this amazing place. I love that you have photos of the castle in its prime. It adds so much to what we see now.
I want to thank you for doing everything you do to make us feel like we are right beside you going to these different places. You are definitely a incredible person. I love your channels
It’s always sad to see a place that was so spectacular that has fallen into such a state of disrepair, I always ask myself why? Why wasn’t it saved before it’s too late.
I’ve been watching urbex videos for a couple of years now and I’ve never seen this place. Thanks for uploading. And just to repeat what everyone else is saying for the life of me I have no idea what drives people to destroy property like this.
I'm glad you were able to get there. Because Unfortunately this Castle is no longer with us🥺 On a side note, that stairway going up to the top of the castle scared the hell out of me when I went lol
@@LeaveNoTrashBehind unfortunately yes. It's burnt down about a week ago or so. I went once but really wanted to go back a few weeks ago, I should have, that place was magnificent. While I'm sure the shell is still there, the whole place was fully involved in the pictures I saw. Someone had told me, I Googled it, and unfortunately there it was, so sad
I've seen 1 other vid on this place. I don't remember who was doing it but the vid is surely less than 10 yrs old. It still looked pretty nice then. Amazing how much it has gone down and been vandalized since then. ☹️
Do you think Mr. David Abercrombie ever imaged his mansion would end up in this state after his passing? Its sad that people have destroyed something that he probably cherished. I can't imagine how many nights they spent up top just watching the sunset.
Nothing lasts forever my man
Lol yeah it’s been sitting there for like 85 years
Such a shame that people damage such places rather than just let everyone enjoy them.
Makes you wonder what respect they have for anything.
I was just sitting here trying to understand what's the allure to spray painting graffiti.... I just dont get it
What a travesty. Such a beautiful piece of architecture absolutely disrespected by a bunch of human trash.
I'm 75 and still cannot comprehend the mental -midgetry that must constitute a vandal's thot processes
@@munroboice1542 I'm with you, I'm79 and my thought is the kids are not taught respect and self worth anymore. It's all a game. But I'd guarantee if someone did this to anything thing or place of theirs they would crap.
This castle must have been amazing in its time. I have never heard of this castle so I am so glad you went there. Thank you.
I will never understand the acts of vandalism in places like that. What a shame. Thanks for sharing.
That’s awesome architecture. I could only imagine what it looked like in its prime.

Sorry but I hate it. It would definitely givee the creeps living in that Dracula's castle. Sometimes too much is just that.
@@noahhyde8769 Yes it's for sale, if you have 3 million sitting around...

@@nozzzzy So true. There are a few places untouched like a time capsule, pretty cool too.
It's even worse now, they set fire to it last week, so freaking sad
@@richdiscoveries It's a shame. There can't be much left but rock anymore
Never seen it before . That's because " Mobile Instinct " is my explorer channel . You don't clammer or sensationalize . You tell the story as you go . Don't ever change .
Unfortunate that people can’t just admire beauty and want to destroy it instead, thank you for the video and safe travels to you 😊
Watching you’re videos is like going on an adventure.

Gorgeous home. Sad to see homes destroyed. Thanks for the history lesson. I didn't know anything about Abercrombie & Fitch.
I watch a lot of exploration videos and this is my first time seeing the castle. Still an amazing place if you look beyond the vandalism.
Sad to see it in such a mess but you can still imagine how beautiful it once was. Thanks for videoing it.
rather sad such an amazing piece of architecture was left to rot.
What a awesome place. I have never seen this place on any other videos before. Thank you for making it for us.
You know that's really quite a place. The craftsmanship was outstanding. To bad the vandals took it over throughout the years. Their name is well known to this day. Thanks for the tour, Mike
I agree, definitely a beautiful place back then
Who's Mike?
@@jackieblue7591 That's me
@@danpatch4751 Oh, sorry! My bad . 😊
I learn more history from your videos than in history class!
😂🙌

Very cool. Somebody with too much money for their own good should fix that thing up it's beautiful and one of a kind
Crazy, Chris! I was just there on 3/6/2022. Basically crawled all over the place. Nice job.
Do you have any other stories or history on it? It so cool
Its absolutely amazing 🌟😍
The history is fascinating!
Once again, the graffiti has ruined the spectacular charm of the stonework and ornate beauty of this castle!
Sad this beautiful Castle has went down. Thank you for showing this!
ELDA🙏🏻absolutely gorgeous Chris!!

This is not a castle it is a 19th century house that is ugly really.
@@StanSwan the house is a mansion and back in 1904 it looked beautiful.
I can just imagine the years of design and construction that went into this once magnificent structure.
Also….the craftsmanship!!
Thank you Chris! ❤️
First video I've ever seen about this property. Thanks!! Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪☘️
Damn taggers. 🥺
Love to have seen it in it's day.
Thanks for the tour Chris!
👍👍👍
Great adventure looking forward to many more. Actually was in very good shape for all the years abandoned.
I have not seen this one before. It must have been just beautiful. I always wonder about secret passage ways.
Hi Chris, I have seen this before when Exploring with Josh was there, it really is a gorgeous place or at least was.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

The taggers have all but destroyed what remains. I love the cement stairs leading to the house in the front. Thank you for sharing! 💜
Beautiful place but those destroyers can go away. Thank you for showing such a beautiful place, with so much information. 😊
Wow that place is awesome thx 4 the great video of this place. Love your video’s.
If I could I would totally buy this and fix it up.
Me too. I said the same thing about they abandoned observatory out in Cleveland that I filmed at. Both would be so amazing to restore and live in.
Thankyou for showing us.
This is really cool. I always find something new with your videos Chris, keep up the great work!
Incredible looking even after all these years, love the winding staircase.
There were so many of them too!
@@MobileInstinctthey are just amazing, I love winding staircases
Excellent! Thanks for sharing your adventure with the TH-cam crowd.
That was so fun getting to see inside and all the different rooms and levels and staircases. The view at the top was beautiful. I agree with you all windows up there enclosed would be best.
The beams and arched doorways and arched windows throughout and in the great room were lovely. Beautiful stone everywhere. Thank you for taking everyone with you on this tour.
This is the 1st time I've seen it & I'm watching it 2 years after you posted it!
Thanks for the info on this castle Chris really enjoyable video 👍👊🇬🇧🇺🇸
This is the very best of all the videos I have seen . I truly wish the parks service would take it over it would be just a beautiful place to visit .
Was a beautiful home.
It is so sad to me to see this beautiful place in ruins.
Thank you for another video!
That was really great. I have seen some other times where people I follow have come there. I like seeing different shots and hearing different twists on stories with twists on facts. You do a awesome job.
wow such a beautiful place being lost to weather another things
I never heard tell of this place, but i thoroughly enjoyed the tour. What a complete shame...i'll be this was a BEAUTIFUL place at one time. Thanks for the upload! Good job!

Absolutely love this.Thank you. Stay safe in your travels.
Thanks for the video

I haven't seen a video on this place so thank you! Plus I'm bias, your vids are the best!
Just found your channel today & so glad I did - you hit the best spots I've ever seen! Wonder why their remaining children didn't keep it.
Thanks for the video, I’ve never seen this one before. I’ll add it to my urban exploration bucket list
That view is beautiful
I want to thank you for doing everything you do to make us feel like we are right beside you going to these different places. You are definitely a incredible person. I love your channels
I’ve been there before and it’s awesome!
Very cool man! Thanks for sharing this with me!
A good time of year to visit such a great location, very atmospheric.
Wow ! Very cool place. 💕🙂👍 Thanks !
What an amazing place. Great video
Oh wow bet that was beautiful back in the day
Very cool place! Ashame he didn't get to enjoy it very long. I have seen it before, but it's nice to see your perspective.🏰
I've never seen this place, great video!
🙏💙 AMAZING castle!
Thanks for sharing
Such an amazing place. As always great video.
I just don't understand what satisfaction they get from destroying beautiful things. Makes me so sad.
Anarchism. 😒
Fascinating! I did not know of this castle or its rich and diverse history. Another fantastic job Chris. Many thanks!
Wow bet it was amazing in its day....
Awesome place Chris.
Very cool! I have never seen this place in other videos. Thanks great video!
It’s always sad to see a place that was so spectacular that has fallen into such a state of disrepair, I always ask myself why? Why wasn’t it saved before it’s too late.
Great episode
How incredibly sad this building was let to rot.
Love your videos, always with respect and a lot of information. Keep it up! Cheers from The Netherlands
Thank you Chris! You always post such awesome 🤩 videos.
Wow!! Those staircases make me nervous 😬
I love all your videos. I had not known of that once beautiful home. Man that thing must have been something. Thanks for the great tour.
Спасибо за ролик!❤❤❤
I'm impressed the doors didn't make a sound... Quality there
Most of the windows still swing swing smoothly too
once again awesome video. Thanks for posting
Thanks for the backstory on the castle I think it made it more interesting I've seen other videos with them visiting this Castle yours was great👍
Very nice review my friend God-bless you
That castle I bet was amazing to see when it was actually in good shape. Would love to live in the woods there
You and I have same thoughts ! I appreciate these venerable old buildings
What's with all the technical books? Do you know?
Watching your video I never would’ve known of this historic place keep making content of American history
I’ve been watching urbex videos for a couple of years now and I’ve never seen this place. Thanks for uploading. And just to repeat what everyone else is saying for the life of me I have no idea what drives people to destroy property like this.
This reminds of Bishop's Castle in Rye Colorado.. You gotta look it up. On to the next.
I'm glad you were able to get there. Because Unfortunately this Castle is no longer with us🥺
On a side note, that stairway going up to the top of the castle scared the hell out of me when I went lol
Wait it's gone?
@@LeaveNoTrashBehind unfortunately yes. It's burnt down about a week ago or so. I went once but really wanted to go back a few weeks ago, I should have, that place was magnificent.
While I'm sure the shell is still there, the whole place was fully involved in the pictures I saw. Someone had told me, I Googled it, and unfortunately there it was, so sad
Very nice
Great video as always.
That's an awesome castle.
I've seen 1 other vid on this place. I don't remember who was doing it but the vid is surely less than 10 yrs old. It still looked pretty nice then. Amazing how much it has gone down and been vandalized since then. ☹️
Very interesting Chris!
Awesome video first time seeing it! Wonderfully done ****
can you imagine living in something like this? wow thnx
It would be so incredible
What a sad thing to do could've been a nice house to live in , beautiful architecture
