ABANDONED Politician's Home In The Woods

  • It’s all too often a family is torn apart over the very place that held them. A place of refuge, a place of so many beautiful memories is now tainted by the tragedy of greed.
    This is the story of Jack and Dorothy and the home that held their family.
    Jack was born in 1914 and grew up in this country home his father built in the late 1800’s. He was always the go-getter type and believed he would one day be the mayor of this small Georgia town. After marrying Dorothy, his high school sweetheart, his father gifted the newlyweds the house to raise a family in.
    But tragically, the happy couple suffered the loss of two of their children.. one of them only an infant. And through their grief, they held each other together with the love they shared and overcame the obstacles of despair; Jack going on to being elected as mayor, and Dorothy raising their 6 other children at home.
    As time went on, the children all grew up and moved away while Jack and Dorothy lived out their years in the home that held their family for so long.
    But in 1992, sadly, Jack died at the age of 78, leaving behind his estate to Dorothy.. but not long after Jack died, Dorothy passed away without leaving an official will for her children despite the verbal agreements on how their inheritance would be spit.
    And although this beautiful home held a love story that lasted for decades, it too, was laid to rest after the children entered a drawn out legal battle with one another failing to come to agreement on how to divide the estate.
    And now, like the vines that have swallowed this once beautiful place, the unrelenting nature of greed consumes everything in its path- a family that once was, the home that held them together, and the love story of Jack and Dorothy.
    So now, let’s step inside of this place, and let’s see what is still left behind.

    As an old TV repairman with 35 years experience, I can inform you that that TV is highly prized by collectors Philco Predicta television from the 60's. Few were made. THAT is a keeper!! Way back in the early 70's I worked in a TV repair shop in Mississippi, and actually replaced that picture tube on the top on one of those. Meaning, I actually had my hands on one just like that.

      Man, what a cool thing to see. Bet that was a good feeling.y grandpa had gotten a brand new color television back in the very early 80s and he gave me his magnavox b& w and that thing worked for many many years, until 1993 and I got my first color television. When the magnavox went out and no one could work on it or so they said.

      I have a fully working Philco Predicta table top model. It's a 1959 Princess model in my library in my home. I was a Television Broadcast Engineer for over 30 years. I have it connected to a DVD player and run Doobie Gillis, Sgt. Bilco, Honeymooners on it for fun when people visit me. Those sets were not real great. Kind of a "dog" of a product. Because of that, many were sold to hotels where they would remain and eventually end up in a landfill.

    the giant "bell tower" feature is a heat dissipation tower. Similar to the ancient systems of the middle easter regions. It's an "Air Conditioning" design, heat rises and escapes through the little windows while cooler air flows through the house at ground level creating a cooler environment.

    Whenever I get a timeframe of when the house was abandoned, i always think back to where i was in that year. It is weird to see how far a house can decay in such short time. In this case, we had a baby girl in 2008, and it just blows my mind to think that while were were welcoming our new member of the family into our home, folks were still living in the home in the video. It wasn't that long ago.

Frederick Mathushek was responsible for some of the great advances in piano design ever. And, his pianos are some of the finest in existence today.

    My brother wanted to get the will probated I think it's the word. He said he'd keep it tied up in court until it rotted before my step sister got it.

    I’m always amazed by things left behind in so many abandoned places?!? Too much trouble to get rid of? Bad memories and so people don’t want to revisit and clear it out? Laziness. Not attached. Indifference? Moved on with new lives and prefer to let it all go? A headache to sort through? I loved the spiritual books! I have read several of those. Wish I were friends with whomever read them. True true not many interested in such topics. Great video as always 🙏🐾🪶

    At 17:20 in the video is a focus is on a opening into the ceiling you refer to it as almost like a bell tower. I'm not sure of what it would be called but I know exactly what its function was. It has a large fan at the top that was used to draw the hot air from in the house expell it out attic vents and pull hopefully slightly cooler air into the house through windows and doors.

    I really appreciate how slow you go with your explorations. Not moving the camera so much that it give me motion sickness.
    Though there are some items missing from around the house. The four paintings and all the family pictures from atop the piano and around the center room. The peacock feathers had been in that large vase on the floor next to the wicker chair. Stuff from the fireplace in the room with the psychic books and a bunch more pictures from the room with two beds. And all the other miscellaneous items I didn't notice. I hope these items were taken by the family and not looters.
    Edit: it was the Bros Of Decay 'The Abandoned Mansion of The American Myers Family Hidden For 4 Decades!' if curious.

    My feeling is that the remaining family couldn’t agree as to who should have what items. So in their consummate greed, nobody got it 😢. Just to sad for words.
    The peacock feathers? Did you notice that straw looking small keg on the floor? People used to have large vases filled with feathers. Peacock feathers if you were rich. 🤷‍♀️ Just my thoughts.
    I wish there was a way to rescue some of those beautiful items.

    I'm loving these videos. There's a particular kind of tragic beauty to abandoned places like these... It's a kind of interplay between the grandeur of what it used to be, what it has become, and what it might have been today had things been different, topped off by the knowledge that this is the inevitable fate of all of our dwellings. It's a rare but life-affirming aesthetic that few can appreciate. Those who enjoy videos like this might enjoy the poetry of Edwin Arlington Robinson, namely "The House on the Hill" and "Haunted House".

    Holy Crow! That letter 3/5/1921 is over 100 yrs old!
    To answer your question as to why they'd leave their possessions behind ... Simple reasons as it's ugly, outdated, no room for it where they live, technology changed, doesn't match their new digs or spousal objections, they do not appreciate antiques, don't want to invest energy selling said antiques (like that magnificent TV!) or live out-of-state and they don't have what to move stuff in.
    Or, like Ondrea Counts said below, once the property/contents goes into probate, no one can touch it.
    Or, there is an element of leaving the bad behind. We don't know how damaged this family was. Clearly, there was a significant amount of dysfunction which resulted in the intense infighting among 6 adult children over probate. So, maybe there was a lot of bad memories and those items would be constant emotional reminders and they just wanted to move on.
    And this is from my gut ... those crayon drawings were done by one of the adult children. Maybe one of the those adult-kids is in the spectrum of autism, or down syndrome or really mentally ill. We dunno. But, it's not a young child. A young child wouldn't have the wherewithal to draw a clock high up on the wall where it normally would be positioned. Nor the bookshelves. Psychologically, like I posted before, someone was trying to make the home whole again. Could also be a mentally challenged squatter. But that's what those drawings represent ... someone replacing what's missing to make it whole.

    • @grump9001
      @grump9001 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Those drawings on the wall of what looked like were items that used to sit there maybe, reminded me of a sad feeling I had as an older teenager about to leave home for college and looking around my childhood bedroom remembering what it used to be. But it wasn't the same anymore and neither was I, or the rest of my family that was rather damaged after the years of being there. I put some drawings and curses I'd learned in other languages around the room on the walls. I had a lot of trauma, but I'm not autistic.. anyway, my point is, it could be like you're saying and was the work of someone mentally ill, or perhaps it was a moment of creative sadness from an older child remembering their old room. That was the feeling I got at least. Your last sentence, I really feel as well. I hope that person is healing.

Not just gleaming bits and pieces from things you find there, and maybe artfully filling in other pieces of history. I feel like you take the time to research, tell the history you found, and show a place in a beautiful light, because you care and are not just out to make a video of some random place for TH-cam likes - subscribes - comments. With watching some explorers do the same places, you can tell who is good, and who isn't. (And who is just plain full of crap.) Now, off I go, to do some un-subscribing. Love your work Jeremy.

    Once again you nailed the intro! I believe the kids came through there & took what they wanted until the probate court began. Once a property/home etc. goes into probate, legally nobody is allowed to take, remove, or dismantle any of the buildings etc
    until the probate court has been settled. I'm sure some of the family members have snuck into the house & removed a few more things but they know there are certain items they can't remove out of there without it being found out in the end. I'm sure this estate is still locked up in the probate court as I'm typing this out. Of course by the time it's settled the only thing they'll be able to do is just sell the property in which this house is sitting & split the proceeds bcuz the home won't be worth anything really. Awesome explore, I wish you a Merry Christmas & a prosperous New Year Jeremy. I'm excited to see what new explorations you'll bring next year.

      Greed can be for possessing “memories” and not just financial gain. The combination often creates bitter inheritance disputes. In my family there were arguments over sentimental items that hold no monetary value to non-family. Very sad. Think of all the collective money wasted in this situation. It’s possible that the proceeds from the sale of the land may not even cover the legal expenses and they end up with a net loss. Such a shame.

    One belief is that peacock feathers relate to spirituality, third eye perception, immortality, and resurrection. This would fit in with the books. Another belief is that peacock feathers in your house will bring bad luck to you in love and relationships, financial difficulties, and bad health. If the later is true that's a lot of bad luck.

Very strange how some things in abandoned houses don't make sense.
