    Steven and Andrea --- YES , I was there in 1968 . Glad to see that the mining equipment is still there . If you go out in the Joshua forest there is a large water tank and a ''rocking horse'' pump on a drilled well . When i was there , there were clusters of Grapes on the Grape Vines around the big house , I tasted one and it was bitter , and I quickly spit it out . I'm glad that you heard the ''voices'' , I heard both ''voices and music'' when I was there . That big house is Haunted , I tried spending the night there to photograph the apparitions . All I had was an old 35mm Argus C-3 (NO sound recording) with the large M-5 Flash Bulbs . I couldn't last the whole night . . . . too much weird stuff going on ; numerous apparitions , several different voices , music , the rattling of chains - and not a single chain visible anywhere , doors opening and closing by themselves . Later , when I had the film developed , every picture that I had taken of an apparition was fogged . I DARE YOU to go back there and spend the night and record everything on Video and Audio . --- < Doc > .

      We thought we were going crazy Doc. We are so glad to know this has happened to someone else. While upstairs I had just turned the camera off, but the mics and my headphones were still on and I was listening to a full blown conversation. Which we both heard that's why I scrambled to turn the camera back on and record walking downstairs, we seriously thought someone would be walking through the front door. We may absolutely have to go back here and investigate more thoroughly.

    That was certainly a fascinating sojourn you were on, the fact that there was so much mining equipment left behind is interesting because one would have thought that had they intended to abandon the mine they would have disassembled the machinery and moved it to another site or sold it on for further use, elsewhere.
    The ranch house was of note in that when the last people to live there departed they had the windows carefully boarded up in that there were vents in all of the boards so that the house could air, so that possibly they intended to move back at some point or that it was up for sale and evidently it did not sell. I did not hear any voices other than your own!
    Thank you for bringing us these marvellous broadcasts, the people are very grateful for the work that you put in.

    Hello again, Andrea & Stephen. Thank y’all for having another interactive-video for everyone to join in on! I listened on my iPhone first of all; heard several sounds but wasn’t satisfied. Switched to Wireless EarPods and really improved the sound quality. Here’s a list of what I heard. Let me know if it matches what y’all saw and heard. Thank you. At 40:20, horn honks from Tonto. 40:35 White Fluffy object flies upward on Left side of screen. 41:06 2 light streaks on floor in front of Island & Front Door change their position on the floor about an inch or two. (can actually see them move). 41:45 Noises started, sounds like door opens & closes plus 4 footsteps. Also, sounds like a humming sound or vibration. 42:20-42:37 sounds like wind blowing. Also at 42:24 a voice sound. 43:10 a thud sound. 43:15 a sound. 43:22 a sound. 43:28 a sound. 43:38-43:58 creaking sounds. The EarPods really makes a difference in the amount of sounds you can pick up from your phone. Did you take notice of the windows covered in Plywood? Have you ever seen that done with the rectangular slots cut in them? I’ve never seen that done before, but it makes sense to let the Light in and still protect the inside of the building. Sorry I made the Comment so long. Keep Safe & Healthy!!

      Pretty much the same things, Cary. We heard voices earlier but figured it was some explorers - but no one was there! We have had several comments about viewers hearing music too. One viewer knows the place well and said that he would never stay in the house at night! Too much scary stuff goes on. Who knows. I was unable to find out if something had happened there. So it will remain a mystery. Always enjoy hearing from you.

    Absolutely loved this "Pin." Your editing and filming is really starting to shine. Place almost looks like both a placer and a under ground operation/explore. Was impressed, wonder if it's for sale? The graduated numbers nails/pegs could have been for hanging wrenches on. Had some like that in my garage, in the hopes that they would be put back there after use, but 9 out of 10 times i'd find them on the side walk, in the drive way, heck even in the garden once. Makes ya wonder why a wrench would be in the garden. Never asked. Really enjoyed, had time for 2 cups of coffee, and a danish. Yee-Haa! Ready for the day now.

    Hi,
    Andria-- give him a kick you know where-- referring to you as an " old mine" ( the start ) The "thing" with three holes ( 8.05 ) it looks like a" Bain Marie " for keeping food hot. Down below there's a small gas flame heating the oval jacket . This was filled with water that was heated by the gas flame. The three holes are where the containers of food slid in ,when in place put the food inside & close the lid. The hot water kept the food -- hot ! without it drying out. Still waiting for you to find a decent " Chippy "...... 🙂

    I’m amazed at all the effort someone put into that lonely place . It would be so neat to see old photographs I bet it would be hard to recognize. If that old house was fixed up I bet it would be really “ posh” as Andrea said . Andrea ! You said you were “ looking for a date” and with Stephen standing right there. You shouldn’t hurt his feelings like that . 🤣🤣. Loved seeing these old homes in their
    post dream state; this one had so much of its own unique personal charm . But yeah , I heard swooshing when y’all were outside eating doughnuts . And several times like a sound like sliding a book on a counter and then like a click sound . I know people want you to go stay there at night . Ugh! Not my cup of tea, I’ve heard of those spirits following people home . I’m convinced evil spirits haunt those places , every people and nation on earth talk about such things . No way they all just came up with this on their own independent of each other . Anyway Ive experienced what I believe to be two different spooked houses while working , once in a very remote area in a Ms. swamp . Only house down a lonely road , some wealthy folks fish camp . My dad and I stayed the night there by ourselves because the drive home was so far - or so we thought . Something came in the house at like 2 or 3 in the morn and walked around . I was scared spitless and so was my dad . It was the worst vulnerable feeling . No thanks . But love you guys, thanks for making it feel like we’re their with you on a trail of discovery !

      Thanks for sharing your "encounter" with us Ron. We do believe that energies can be left behind - whatever you want to call those energies, ghosts, spirits etc. We have had several "encounters" ourselves over the years. We do use a lot of sage after we go on these explores, and give ourselves sage baths and sage Tonto too. Not sure if it helps, but the Native Americans use it as you know. We do it anyway - just to be on the safe side. Several people commented that they too heard things even music. One of our viewers knows the place very well and said it was haunted. I was unable to find any info about who lived here or if anything happened. So who knows. We didn't feel anything just heard voices who were probably hikers and the wind carried their sounds making them seem closer than they were. That's the logical explanation! Who really knows.
      Glad you enjoyed our explore.

It was very real ( the wife was really traumatized because I think our materialist modern mind doesn’t seem to believe such things are possible ) it had to do with an old unoccupied home in the country. Long and short of it they saw what looked to be orbs with floating fairy or elf like beings in them. They said they were scary fairies the way they appeared and the horses took off terrified . I 100 percent believe them because they didn’t believe in such things snd it really took them by surprise . It scared them both but the wife - it really shook her up. Apologies if this was too long. Not sure if you want us to get into personal stories. The whole ghost phenom really is mysterious and intriguing , it’s so interesting to hear the stories .

    At 13:26 you open a cabinet in the kitchen that has screened shelves, an opening at the top and if you looked, an opening in the bottom at the floor. This was so cool air would come up from under the cabin and flow up through the cabinet and out the top for keeping vegitables like potatoes and onions cool and dry. It could easily have been that the Homestead house was where the manager or owner of the mine lived and his wife did all the cooking and most cooks did the gardening as well. Growing your own veggies was easier and cheaper than importing them in from other areas.

      The beep-beep would have been us unlocking Tonto, and the muffled voices as we left were us outside, You'll hear us say, "Turn the mic off so it doesn't pick us up". As far as something fluttering, it could have been an insect or dust particle.

  • @phillip5545
    @phillip5545 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just a couple of suggestions. Most of the folks I know who watch a lot of TH-cam videos prefer videos that run from 10-18 minutes maximum. People's lives are so busy that it's difficult to click on a video over about 18 minutes. A 20 or 30 minute is just too much time. If you have to have a 30 minute video to cover your story, you'd be better off to offer it as two fifteen minute videos. Do a part one and a part two. Many folks watch TH-cam on big screen TVs these days. Most TV's sold today are 'smart' TV's. Next, if you video goes full length (straight through), it's easy to forget to give you a thumbs up because they have to try to back track to be able to go to the place where you can give a thumbs up.....not like on a computer screen. It's a pain and it's easy to just not take the time to go back and give a thumbs up. You can make it very easy for your regular watchers by starting your video and letting it run for a minute (a prologue). Then do a 60 second video of 'your' story and then after a minute go back to your story of the day. That minute of intermission can be a short segment you just cut and paste into every single video. For the thousands of 'regular' folks who only watch your videos on a big screen TV, it makes it very easy to give you a thumbs up EVERY time they watch one of your videos. They do it right at the beginning. Your one minute 'ad' is their signal to give you that all important thumbs up. My wife and I have been following several TH-cam travel couples and individuals for years. We've seen the progression of their videos. They have ALL gone to the format I just suggested. Some go back over seven years. They all now have between 1-2 million subscribers. With income from TH-cam and other TH-cam associated income sources, they are all making $500K -$2 million a year of income. I'm not trying to be critical but just some suggestions that might help you more quickly accrue more subscribers and thumbs ups. I'd like to see you get out of having to live in the bad of a pickup truck. As I said before, that's a tough way to live for a long time. Best wishes! ..............Phil

    • @PinInTheAtlas
      @PinInTheAtlas  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, Phil. Thanks for the comment and suggestions. We do have shorter videos in that time frame on our channel. We have stated before that when there are many exciting things to see on an explore, we wouldn't break it up or cut it short. As a viewer of lots of TH-cam, you should also notice the trend that Part 1 and 2 don't necessarily work as the second part never performs as well. Then the whole story can get lost, and we don't want to short change our history. We understand that time is short these days, and people don't always have a lot of time to watch a full 30 to 40 plus minute video. However, saying that most T.V. shows are 30 minutes or a full hour and people still watch those. We listen to our viewers, and they love our longer adventures. One comment even said they felt "cheated" when our vid was under 15 minutes!
      As for starting the video and letting it run for 60 seconds with our story for every video wouldn't work as google analytics comes into play. Showing the same "segment of us and our story" causes people to click off the video. The trick is to grab them in the first 30 seconds and pull them into your video. We are actively working on this as we are still learning.
      We have a lot of information in our back office provided by TH-cam that helps us decipher what seems to be working and what isn't. We do dive into that when time permits. All that being said, we also have to be happy with the videos we upload at the end of the day. To this point, they all have a special place in our hearts. Showing our progression as creators, our lives in the back of our trusty steed, incredible sites and the history behind them, and those precious moments we hold dear each day.
      We always appreciate a helping hand on our journey and hope you continue to enjoy our channel
