- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2016
- We discovered this abandoned 1800's mystery ghost town a few weeks ago while urban exploring and attempt to find and visit it for the first time in this video. Let's see what we can find and what is left of this old ghost town.
We also attempt to find a mystery grave site, long forgotten by time. Join us as on this explore and see what we see for the first time.
We are still honing our craft, so if you give us a thumbs down, please let us know why. We enjoy critique and feedback on our work as our only goal is to continually improve our content.
We have more refinements in the works for future videos.

The in ground storage compartment would have undoubtedly been used for winter storage of meat and/or vegetables. It was a common practice in those days.
Me and my camping and fishing buddy who passed away just recently explored that spot about 15 years ago while out on a 10 day camping trip just driving around the desert. That metal building was intact back then. We backed my buddy's truck into it to use it for shade while we cooked up some lunch on his tailgate. The building looked like a scrapper's stash spot. There were a couple of junk fork lifts in it, some old milling machines and drill presses, lathes and what looked like sections of a large printing press assembly. I found a news letter in there for a local masonic lodge dated 1979 as I recall. It had a picture of their grand poobah or whatever he was called on the cover in full masonic garb. I swear he looked like Alfred E. Newman from Mad magazine just nerdier and more buck toothed with glasses. Looks like scrappers pretty much dis mantled the building as well as emptied it.
That grave site may just be a salt water or toxic seep. Those are common around there. Ranchers fence them off to keep cattle from drinking from them or stepping in them breaking a leg.
+James Crow Interesting story, thanks for sharing. The grave was marked as a grave in a topo map.
Thanks you guys and gals for doing this I'm disabled with your help I get to see neat stuff. Ever think about mines ?
the one where it read "tabers desperate trial..." was from san francisco examinar march 1895
I'm becoming addicted to these vid's... Don't stop :-)
Your comment just made my day, thank you!
These vids are high addictive quality...I can't get enough!!
the stone house was amazing love it.
I almost fell out of my chair laughing when you said, "You need to turn the power on before you hit the switch, domb ass"!!! hahaha! You know exactly how some people are! I'm glad you can laugh at it! ;)
Very cool place, BTW. Thank you for sharing!
Lmao this was hilarious
Back in the day it was common practice to starch newspaper to wood plank walls to give a smooth surface to which they would then starch fabric as a wall paper. Over time the fabric falls off leaving just the newspaper.
Interesting, thank you for the info. :-)
Jack A. Lope my house was built in the late 40s early 50s and my patio and backdoor have newspaper all around. I never thought about why, lol. Thanks for the info!

I stumbled upon an old abandoned ranch house that was out in the middle of no where once. The last time it had been occupied judging by the rusted out hulks of junked vehicles in the barn was sometime in the 50's.
I went exploring in the house, or what was left of it anyway. I knew it was old because it was single wall construction. For those that don't know single wall construction is where they take 1"x planks run horizontal and sandwich them in between 2 vertical runs of 1"x planks.
These solid wood walls are then stood up write and nailed together. Once standing they cut out the rough openings for the doors and windows. Once the openings are cut out they case them out and install the windows and doors.
This was the primary way wood construction was done in the old west when 1"x planks where pretty much all you could get.
Anyways I was in this room that had been starched with news paper like that and no fabric was left hanging. The news papers where the New York Times and they where from the reconstruction period following the Civil War. I wanted to take one of those walls home with me. That was one time that I really wished that I had a camera. This was back when cell phones where pretty primitive and cameras where mostly film.
So Cool! Why would anyone give this video thumbs down?? This really old Historical Stuff is the Best and you guys do such a Great Job!

Cool video. I think I found an article related to the first newspaper you read about the bloodhounds on his trail.
DEATH FROM A BULLET March 12th 1895
Fatal Quarrel Between Farmers in the Famed Cajon
A Wounded Man Left on the Deiert to Bleed to Death-Looks Like a Cat* ol Jealousy
San Bernardino, March 11.-James P. Medlin was shot in the left arm by William Taber at Cajon last evening, death resulting from the wound at about 2 o'clock this morning. It seems that Taber and Medlin were good friends and lived on adjoining farms. Old man Medlin was residing alone, young Taber being married. Medlin invited Taber and his wife and one or two other neighbors to Sunday dinner, and all gathered at Medlin's house pursuant to the invitation. Taber's wife cooked the dinner, and after the noon meal the men-Medlin, Taber and Tom Holt-went to a Frenchman's not fur away and drank wine together. On the return from the trip a quarrel arose between Taber and Medlin, about what no one seems to know. Taber became greatly excited and ran on ahead of the others. Soon after Tom Holt saw him returning with a double-barreled shotgun, and fearing trouble, ran on to intercept him. When he came up Taber drew his gun and ordered Holt not to interfere in the quarrel. Ho was glad to let Taber pass him, which he did, and coming up with Medlin fired both barrels of the weapon, cutting off the fore part of the left arm. After the shooting Medlin said: "Taber, I won't let anyone know you shot me for the sake of your wife." Holt hastened away for help, leaving Medlin alone, as Taber and his wife left at once. Before any one reached the wounded man again lie had crawled three hundred yards into the brush, bleeding copiously all the time. Some blankets were thrown under him, and ho lay out on the ground all night, dying as stated at about 2 o'clock in the morning of hemorrhage. Holt came to town this morning, giving the officers tbe first information of the tragedy. The Coroner and Deputy Sheriffs and Constables at once visited the scene of the killing, but too late to apprehend the murderer. It is now learned that Taber came to town last night or early this morning. His usual buunts were searched, but iv vain. Taber is armed with a knife, and those who know him best say he is desperate enough to kill any man who undertakes to arrest him. Several officers are on his trail, but have little hopes of overtaking him.
WOW, that's an awesome find. Did you happen to catch a date on when this article was posted? (Never mind, just realized it was right there at the top lol) Thank you for taking the time to post that.
No problem! Thanks for the awesome videos! I have to pace myself or else I'd be done with all your videos already haha. Keep up the good work! Also if you ever get more info about the places you film please let us know!!
Thank you, I really appreciate your support. I will let you know if I find anything about the area.
Awesome piece of information. Thanks for sharing.
Just recently started watching, and I love it! History & old/abandoned things have always been so interesting to me!! Used to watch Exploring with Josh but I like your channel so much more because you go in depth & give a lot more background and history! It's almost like I'm there too ❤❤
These are very interesting. I have explored abandoned houses, too, and couldn't find many people who were interested to go with me. I live in Lubbock, Texas. Thanks for narrating them without using profanity, as most of these have. That says a lot.
I was in lubbock last week lol
I thought I saw someone who looked like you!
It's amazing we can visit these places with you ... I would of ever dreamed as a kid growing up I would be able to see all these places
They were typically called Root Cellars (store veggies and dried meats) to preserve them for later.
The mud and stone building is, most likely, the original ranch house. And since it's been there for more than 100 years and, barring any human intervention, it will probably outlive most of us. You can almost watch history playing out in that house. Built of mud and native stone and using tree trunks where possible. Add in electricity when that came along, and then they moved from it to a 2X4 structure. And the mud house is the one that is still standing.
Sure beats a modern trailer...those are good for only a few years unkept.
Love the really old building near the end , i keep expecting John Wayne to pop up in one of the windows letting go with a lever action winchester shouting reach for the sky Ewu Crew.
That's a small cellar I still use one at a Hunter's cabin it's cold enough to store meat, eggs, milk etc
@ Aaron B Aren't we allllll addicted... Love them to pieces!
Keep up the awesome work!
I really like exploring with you. It's the only way I can see all these interesting places. Thanks so much.
Amazing that newspaper has been there since 1894 - before the whole 1900s - that gets you thinking, wow great vids man 👍
Thank you Craig. :-)
Explore With Us it was probably made in 1800s or early 1900s it was probly used to keep chickens or turkeys and more small farm animals
The farm house looks like it has different ages of materials from the 1880s- to around 1950. I've seen the wooden cupboard latch before too. It was from around 1910. Beautiful place. I can't imagine anyone just abandoning it. I'm sure they had a patent of some sort.
I just found your channel today and I haven't been able to stop watching them they're awesome I love them ❤️
Thank you Veronica. :-)
I'm in the northeast and my great grandmas farmhouse used newspaper glued to the walls under wallpaper to keep out wind, etc. Just a thought....also, most old homesteads were 4 square rooms. Looks like maybe an original homestead?
Interesting you're probably right. :-)
Amazing what u can fined on google earth !!! Thx for sharing all ur videos .. beats watching TV !!!
Joy Bernstein Thank you. :-)
Love this, some Old West history with the rock house. I also noticed a round pen, usually used for horses.
thats an old old farm .. i loved that dilapidated stone farm house.. its really cool..another great adventure shared..thank you..
Boo on anyone who puts a thumbs down. These are so entertaining. I enjoy especially the Mojave Desert ones - my home sweet home. Love the drone footage on some I've seen.
i really enjoy your videos. Nevada is rich with history. Keep up the good work.
Love the music! And dam thatsa history lesson w that old newspaper. Wish these old places could be saved and protected. Great video and as always keep up the good work
The dark, cloudy sky and the blowing wind, sure provided a spooky backdrop!
Where are your masks and gloves!? (Just call me Grandma!)
Love you guys from London ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys should Take Still Pictures of some of the Old Things you see and Sell them Framed. I guarantee People would buy the Pics.
Teresa Parsons, Thank you for the tip, much appreciated. I love photography, but I have been slacking on my photography. This would give me a good reason to get back into it. 🙂👍👍
i second that mate would make for some atmospheric and moody photo's
Love your videos
In the words of Clark Griswold...." That's right Audrey, when they ran out of sod they used mud" lol!! Really enjoy your videos, sad to see history fading away slowly. I wonder what the story is/ was on all these old homesteads/ farms. If those walls could talk! Thanks guys I really enjoy the videos!
Eric T, LOL 😂
You can write your own story it would probably sell too
Still watching all of your videos in 2019... Love it..... 👏👏👏👏
I love all your videos, thanks for sharing,
Amazing videos!! Can't stop watching. I love history. Just knowing that at one point these places were filled with life and searching for clues of what has been is so awesome!! Thank you for sharing would love to one day go adventuring with you!!
1894, that is quite some time.
I would say that rock house is anywhere from 1890s to 1930s. That newspaper should help a lot even if it doesn't have a date.
i would love to explore the older buildings. Thank you for sharing this with us. I was also trying my hardest to look at the paper that lined the walls. Can't wait for more of those type of adventures. @Explorewithus 😊
Awesome, I thought I would be the only one interested in the old newspapers. I love stuff like that, it's really intriguing. Thank you for watching and the support.
I know its an old video by the time I saw it but after doing some research I found that this type of building was commonly built on prairies between 1830 to 1865.
Jeez all the crazy stuff you find in the Nevada deserts!
Newspaper was used as insulation. One shed, the one with the board along the left wall, with bare spots on it, was most likely a tack room. The blank spots were where the saddles were. The in-ground storage, for vegetables from the garden. Thats how they were stored for winter use. .
It was common in the old days to insulate a home with newspapers, especially among the poorer / working class who could not afford to buy more expensive forms of insulation . I used to live in a house of the same vintage, built in the late 1800's, that had old newspapers in the walls underneath the lath and plaster. It was nice and cool in the summer but man was it cold in the winter! Yikes, newspapers didn't work all that well! Nice video, by the way. Laughed my butt off @ 10:25 :D
this is soo cool man :D
Thank you.
Wow! 1894. This building needs preserving.
OK... the old newspaper... 1894... AWESOME!
Thanks for mentioning the brand of drone you use (DJI). It's amazing how smooth and stable the flight of your drone is (especially with the thermals I would assume you have out there), not to mention how good the video quality is. Glad to hear their customer service is good as well. Your know-it-all commenter impression at 10:21 was hilarious.
It's an old root seller to keep potatoes, onions, etc.
Is that how far down they usually go, or do they go deeper? I didn't check under the tumble weeds to see if it went any further.
You should metal detect around that old building
You guys are best I'm watching from Kenya ...you are best of alll
I was your channel here everyday keep it up
Hello from Montreal great Job guys great channel.
I've been watching your channel for 2 days! I've got to get up and get busy. SO addicted.
At 7:00, the hole in the ground w/ cover. Obviously, this is where they kept their BEER cool in the Summer months! (OK, just kidding, but the other posters answered most probably correct, a place to keep perishable things cool as cool as possible.)
I really love your videos!
Thank you Lae. :-)
I sure enjoy your trips! Thank you! You both are so so COOL!!!
Well You have the funniest comments. You always got me cracking up.
It's so funny when we get to see the engines and motors. I really thought I was falling off my bed with all the shoes, slippers. You are a Great Guide!
Thank you. I only got a lil glimpse of Emma (1 or 2 m's) !
I'm going to invite my cousins from Bavaria, Germany, they just became American Citizens & moved to Tucson AZ. Last year
I think they will really Love you too! Hint... they are Railroad fanatics!!!
Be Well & be Safe! @]---}---
Exploring, some real fun to be had. Adventure time!
The underground storage was probably a place for storing root vegetables like potatoes! and possibly apples! And the building with the " cool" switch was probably a meat house, just guessing, from the shelving.
Thank you for what you do. Your videos are always fascinating
I don't always hit the like button because I'm to busy going to the next video lol. We stay up later than we should enjoying your work haha
😊 thank you

Hi... Your vids are undoubtedly the best around so constructive ... the locations found are incredible .... around Arizona/ Utah / Nevada there are so many old abandoned mining towns from late 1800s... History is my subject i was born in Utah .. lived in Sierra Vista / Tombstone/ Bisbee Now i live in Beverly Hills CA still go on reiki s into the desert lookin for material for my books My Grandfather took himself of to the Klondike Gold Rush there he met Wyatt Earp In Dawson City. together they set up a Saloon / Gambling/ Brothel . made more money outta that than goldmining .... great vids glad i found your channel ... Edwin J Thompson ll....Ed
The A/C unit you stated at 16:35 is an evaporative cooler or more commonly called a swamp cooler. It is used in low humidity areas to cool the house. Basically a fan blows air over water and the thermodynamic exchange caused by the evaporation of water cools the air for the dwelling.
Wow! That newspaper is over a hundred years old! So cool..
structure at around 8 mins looks like a tack shed, but usually not built THAT well, so not sure. Thats pretty insulated with walls that thick. Maybe a meat house, where they would hang meat after slaughter.
Interesting, thank you for the info. :-)
So happy to see another one of your videos
Thank you, and so happy to see your comment too. I hope you and the family are doing good. :-)
+Explore With Us thank you.Same to you
The PVC pipe in the first building would imply it was built in the late 1950s or later.
I think you are right, and I think the trailer looked from about that same era? I think those two buildings were put there as part of the mining operation later, but I could be wrong. I wish I could find some information on this site.

There is always the library. They are still free. You can even get movies and audio books. :)
It is beautiful out there. I loved that old 1800s house too. That in the middle of it was an old meat safe. The fine mesh you could see remains of was to keep flies out.
Respect to you and the family. love your vid's. Be safe friend
Thank you Nick Mad, I appreciate it! 👍👍
nice voice,old west sound.
Huggs,silky
thank you. I love mystery an old houses
Thank you for watching, and I also love mysteries and old places. It's a lot of fun trying to figure out who lived there and when they left.
I agree with you. Thank you
Let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for future videos. :-)
My uncle Frank X Miske had a ranch going in the 1950's in Rosamond Ca. on the now empty land just NE of the intersection of Sierra highway and Rosamond Blvd. He had a main house and several outbuildings including a small house for the ranch hands. It evolved from an alfalfa growing operation to cattle, and then chicken. So my point is that this ranch may have gone through several evolutions.
You could be right. 👍
I'm new to your channel and I am really enjoying all your videos!
The newspaper clipping from the wall regarding Taber:
www.newspapers.com/clip/36009783/the-san-francisco-examiner/
I love the places you go when what you show
Oh,gosh.Loved this SO much! I was wondering about the timbers in that last house when you brought it up.And what looks like pine boughs(I'll have to go back to be sure that's what it is)just below the ceiling on that wooden shelf like structure .An ,A WALNUT?!? that unknown grave got me too were those crosses laying down or just branches randomly crossed? those NEWSPAPERS! Everything about this got to me.
If it had been only one cross I would have said maybe a coincidence. But since there are two of them I would say that it’s intentional
love these vids, i'm gonna live in summerlin NV soon and i can't wait to explore the nevada desert. glock 19 and a s&w AR will come along.
You guys are awesome thank you for your endeavors be safe.
When my grandparents had a farm they had a root cellar that was separate from the house. It was deeper than ones connected to houses. It held grandmother's root vegetables and potatoes. They also used it for emergencies like tornado warnings..
Do you think that hinged door was a small root cellar, or is it possible there was another door right below it under the tumbleweeds?
My grandparents had a two door cellar. A top metal one and at the bottom of the steps another wooden door. The thing I remember most about that root cellar is every other spring they had a small flood problem. That is why all their food supplies were never on the floor! Considering the age of the structure and its decay, if it was some kind of cellar it might have been reclaimed by nature.
I will have to go back and just see if there is anything else below the first door. Thank you for the info and I will be sure to let you know what we find. :-)
Good luck! If I am wrong let me know!
Was this in the California Desert, I was Stationed At the Now Gone George AFB, in Victorville, Ca. Years ago. Awesome vid, I subbed.
No, this is in Nevada, and thank you so much for the support. :-)
thank you for your service. i was stationed out of "ft lost in the woods, in the state of misery" during the mid 90's
4:50 Whoa! Magazine was 1982. I am amazed at how much damage relentless wind did to those buildings. So forlorn. Thanks guys
I like how you combine the google earth research with the exploring in the video. To bad your drone does not work now.. With the sky footage combined it's even better ;)
Thank you, I hope to get my drone / quadcopter back in the air by next week.
Ok I'll bite lol " You need to have the power turned on.......DUMBASS" LOL too funny I love you guys
the only channel i watch the ads because you guys are great
A very nice find nice combination of old and "new" , they had too bring alot off building stuf too build those places.
Thank you my friend, I always appreciate your support. They must have used a horse and carriage to bring all that timber out there, and from where? Must have been miles away. Amazing when you really think about what it took to bring all that out there.
love all ur videos cant wait to see more
Thank you so much Brandy. :-)
your welcome
Really love your videos,and I bet your having the time of your life!🙋♀️😎🍒
AWESOME. I would have liked to have restored that stone house.
That was cool.
it was a refrigerator under ground its cooler and they did not have electrecity so they stored food in that
