I live about 15 minutes from the factory in Cleveland in the beginning of the video and can confirm that gunshots are completely normal to hear regardless what time of day it is lmao. Nothing creepy at all for us, just a normal day in Cleveland. The only things you'll find in abandoned buildings are homeless people, drug addicts, and raccoons. And sometimes homeless drug addicted raccoons.
Truth. There's some skepticism as to whether or not ghosts even exist, let alone are capable of causing harm to people but we know for a fact other people can be dangerous.
That's the main reason I couldn't do urban exploring. I find it fascinating but I'd be too frightened of stumbling into a drug gang hideout or a crazy homeless dude or something. Ghosts don't frighten me, they aren't real. But crazy people are out there.
That poor woman living in the farmhouse genuinely upsets me. She seems almost completely hopeless with her situation and continues to live that way under the belief that there's no other option, despite the amount of help offered to her. I hope she gets out of there and into somewhere cleaner and safer, she needs all the help she needs.
She clearly needs mental health help. She lives like that because she feels like it's all she deserves. I feel bad for her. She should be entitled to have a council house there, but shed rather live in squalor. I feel terrible for her.
@@goodbher9244 sometimes living in Council houses are no better than living in squalor where most people have to deal with mold, depending on the property where she sent to she most likely won't have help to have people care for it and clean it
@@goodbher9244 Exactly this, she needs mental help but no one is talking about that because they think that she's just dealing with bad people when in reality it's obvious that she has mental issues that makes her believe that she has to live in those conditions. It's probably something to do with her brain, she either had brain damage or something.
@@Jeff_from_Atlantissome people want to live that way, even though it’s clearly a problem it’s not anyone else’s responsibility to shovel other peoples shit up a hill and most of the time will be pointless even if you do. Do you think a clean house would magically stay clean? No.
I can understand why people living in these places react aggressively. I would be terrified if I found shelter in some abandoned place and suddenly heard people walking and rummaging around other rooms. Homeless people are at a high risks of becoming targets of violence.
yep. homeless people are some of the most vulnerable and least protected people in our society. homeless women in particular have the extra threat of being sexually assaulted, and they have even less avenues to seek justice than a woman with more privileges. no one cares about homeless people, no one sees them as human. it’s sickening. they deserve compassion and empathy.
Absolutely. People don’t squat in these places hoping to be found by an explorer, they are trying to find safe shelter away from strangers. It’s one of those “they are likely more scared of you than you are of them” types of things. That’s why I sorta have an issue with some urban exploring to some degree.
@@canadious6933 if you're in the city espcially in a high crime rate area it absolutely does happen. I've lived in abandoned buildings ive come across all sorts of people. Seen things and heard stories. It does happen. A lot.
So he saw the creepy guy in the corner that came straight out of the Blair Witch Project and thought "Oh yeah I'm just gonna keep on exploring", turned around and leisurely kept walking. Jesus Christ... Then half an hour later he goes back, the dude is not there and STILL he doesn't run? This is why people die in horror movies...
The guy probably just didn't want to be bothered, most likely mentally unwell or on drugs or both. If some rando came into what I believed was an abandoned building and started shouting "yo" at me I'd probably ignore him too until I found an opportunity to get out of there
Blessed be the name of Jesus Christ who saves the world from the punishment of sin. Praise to Him for taking our punishment so that we can boldly go to the throne of the Most High God and live for eternity with Him.
Finding a crouched person against a wall in complete darkness in an abandoned factory basement is something straight out of a horror movie. Dude even went back to help knowing he could potentially have a gun. Could it be fake? It looks too scary to be true
@@saltycat662 Yeah, some of these are definitely fake. Too perfect and planned, it seems too obvious. If I was to make a video like this, I wouldn't make it this obvious to have plausible deniability but this man didn't achieve it.
@@saltycat662 Fake based on what proof? I'm not saying it's true, I don't know, but I don't see why it couldn't be, the man just looked like he was high. You seem pretty confident that it's fake so I'm curious
I appreciate that you haven't framed this as just "homeless people scary" and actually took some time to acknowledge that those living conditions are sometimes all they have.
@@HappySmilingDog-d7u While kinda true, we might not always know what brought those people to that kind of state. You can't deny a sense of sympathy for them and acknowledge that those people are still suffering.
@@King_WhiteWolf Depends on context. Clearly people who are going into their makeshift home aren't going to be met with absolute kindness. The apprehension of who it is on top of being homeless can lead to more fear and aggression. 20:08 and 22:12 also gives perspective.
I honestly just feel bad for the homeless squatters. They aren’t horror movie villains, they’re people who were basically abandoned by society trying to survive using the old abandoned wrecks of once-occupied buildings. Most likely, 90% of those ‘scary’ squatters are far more terrified of the urban explorers than the urban explorers are of them.
@@deadmeatjbeither way, its still the reality because once they make mistakes/bad calls and fall out, they are cast out. Most people do not have enough empathy to help squatters
Chris is nuts for ignoring a "Don't explore alone" and "Keep out" sign in a abandoned building 💀 It's insane how explorers are so brave I wouldn't even dare to go near abandoned buildings
I mean... They already know you're not supposed to go to these places... If you turn back at the sight of a "keep out" sign, why did you go in the first place? But yeah, these people are brave AF
in psychology, it's known if someone if hugging their knees like that, in that position, it's a sign of a total freakout. There are several famous classical paintings of men naked in that position, always representing total despair. Always watch out for people in freak-out mode. They might need help, but are more than likely going to hurt you by lashing out.
I think if I ever found myself in that situation I would actually psychically force myself to have an aneurysm and die on the spot rather than deal with the reality of that shit.
If you look closely when he films up the stairs after the lights come on, you can see the dude's eye reflection in the darker room between the railing.
Imagine being in the shoes of the homeless guy in the second video. You're homeless and are living in a abandoned building. You're in a room with only one entrance and four random guys pop up at the doorway, in the middle of the night while you're trying to sleep. You can potentially be raped, robbed or killed. His only defence mechanism was to scream as loudly as possible, and he did! It was twice as scary for him than for the 4 kids
@Tonysopranoyafinooklol in your warped mind that shit actually happens. More like violent criminal reaches for cops gun while wrestling him to the ground and gets shot as a result.
I really appreciate the empathy you give towards the squaters/homeless persons perspective as well. The majority of channels that do videos like these treat them like they're monsters, and that has always disgusted me. Great video!
funny your username doesn't make me expect you to be ableist to the deaf@@autisticwitch7581 uh the video is ai generated though.. so .. lmk if you have any reason to think it's not?
Imagine how scared the homeless are in these situations too. They hear doors open, footsteps coming, etc. It's terrifying for them too people don't realize that.
That first guy is incredibly lucky. Remember: he said OUT LOUD about how he has twenty dollars on him, and then WENT BACK to the guy, not knowing he was surrounded the whole time. Dude could have been jumped right there.
I've been watching Chris (Urbex Hill) for a long time now. And I will stand by this forever. This dude has balls of steel, I've never seen somebody so brave like him.
Dont worry its just a content to make more views... U did not know the real story?? They reveal the truth. He is not totally alone they are group of friends.. and to make it more scary. They do a prank. And that it. I camt lie. The first i watch this video i thpugh it was real. But when knowing the truth.i give them a big clap for their best acting...
Yep from the no. Of videos of similar content i have watched i have also got to know that most of them have a little script that these people do to make the video look scary also authentic and you can also imagine if you go to sucha place then any1 living there will call you out and will ask what u doin ? Or plz go away and something, nobody stays silent 😶 and let you do anything in their place. So yeah more than half of these vids have some stuff that they do themselves(script/fake).
I lived in a not-so-safe neighborhood during college where shootings happened nightly. It becomes white noise after a while. For me, it became so normal that coming home on break to my parents’ house in a very quiet suburb, I’d have trouble sleeping because it was too quiet outside.
@@orzeleoWhich is why those guys probably don't have any. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say far meth is more likely. Given the high potency shit thats around nowadays, you can get a lot of bang for your buck & judging from the situation, money is a concern.
TH-camr stupidity syndrome: People cannot hear me talking to the camera; Someone is definitely upstairs who don't want to talk.. I will keep talking. I heard noise coming from downstairs... But I have no gun.. I will proceed to go downstairs. I am Stealth Camping and someone is clearly 5 feet from me... I will keep talking softly into this camera.
As someone who documents abandoned buildings, these are always my favorite topics. Reminds you to always keep your guard up, you never know who or what you may find. Great video!
Can attest, we used to go to the house where my father grew up to harvest some berries before the building was demolished since my grandfather had planted that tree(it was huge). The possibility of us putting a bullet in the head of a squatter was quite high (they didn't knew we were there since we always take a spec ops approach to things like that exactly for those reasons) but they were definitely the kind to jump on you the moment they see you.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow.You're putting words in the person's mouth. They never said they shot unsuspecting squatters. They said the likelihood of getting attacked by a squatter was high enough to not announce their presence and be armed. Both are very reasonable, squatters shouldn't be there and generally the concept of self-defense is predicated upon whether the person self-defending believes their life is in danger.
The old lady living in the abandoned farmhouse is very depressing. It's clear she has some sort of mental health issue and it's sad how there are people out there living like this without any help.
Did you watch the video?? She is getting help but pretty much refuses, I have seen this countless times, elderly people don’t want to leave their homes despite social services trying to help and they end up like this.
@@joelangley7974 that’s what the commenter said. she’s suffering from some sort of mental health issue and in her mind, she doesn’t need any help. they were just pointing out that it’s sad that some other elders live like that without farmers bringing them food and water or anyone checking up on them daily.
As someone who squatted difficult buildings for about 8 years, I can confirm squatters will be agressive to outsiders... but not because they are inherently agressive or dangerous. Its a tactic used to create public fear, thus keeping wandering teens and vandals from welcoming themselves in. We used this method most notably under the freeways in Toronto. I remember us scaring a kid who was filming us, he tried to run when we approached him but fell. He was a nervous wreck, so we helped him up, took him back to camp and cleaned him up. He was thankful and apologetic... and after revealing why we did it, he promised to tell his friends a crazy story about us. It was weirdly heart warming.
I squatted for years I sadly stopped at 405lbs 3x5. I think I’ll try and get my sqauts back up again soon actually. I only can do 315x3 right now and I am ashamed of myself and can’t call myself a squatter right now.
Gotta say, the farmhouse situation is more common than you think. There are a lot of older people who refuse to leave their homes, despite no longer being able to keep them up. The properties become more and more run down to the point of looking abandoned. My own uncle lived that way during the last years of his life. He kept saying he was going to restore the house, but no progress was ever made. He slept on the couch in the living room with a hot plate and microwave on a side table. The shower was broken, and the only running water he had was from the bathroom sink, which is also where he did his laundry. The really sad thing is, he didn't have to live that way. When he died, we learned how much money he had...
yeah, it's really sad. an older family member of mine was born and died in his old farmhouse, and our family still owns it.. it's slowly crumbling with all of his clothes still in the closet where he left them, along with his parents' where they left theirs. still jarred veggies and fruits in the cellar.. etc. we're only just getting around to going through it because of my interest in urbex and it's brought me and my grandparents together although it's a difficult experience.
@@AngstyAnon Without getting into specifics, I'll just say mid six figures, and that was in 2010. He could have had that house bulldozed and built a new one with money to spare.
@@lukediehl1210i think he didn't spend that money on himself because he knew he wasn't going to last long. I think he wanted the money to go to family.
I've actually watched enough of these videos to know that if a blanket or curtain is hanging over a door, it means someone lives there and to not disturb. Almost always when they look in a room like this either someone is there and quickly makes it known the explorers are not welcome there OR it is obvious someone has been there and will probably be back!
Especially at 18:50 - like, explorer dude, it literally says "Keep Out" on the door 😅 Pretty rude of the guy to continue into the room and then try to move the curtains
@@kenna4256 except in abandoned places, it happens often that there are writing on wall ''warning'' ppl. ''keep out'' is really common. so he could definitely have thought this was something like that
That first video is fucking terrifying. That man is crouched in the corner in PITCH BLACK. Just sitting there and not responding. I wouldn't have even turned my back on him let alone just keep casually strolling and then go back and try to find him again. That is straight nightmare fuel.
One time I was taking pictures in a boarded up foreclosed home. No flashlight, just the flash from my camera. I went into a back bedroom, took a picture and 10000% saw a lady sitting in the dark. And she just laughed. Like 3 ha's. "hahaha". I turned around and tried to run but tripped over one of those old big boxey tvs -like the bubble screen kind. Next thing I knew, I was looking up in the dark and she was above me laughing again. She helped me up. I was hurting because that TV didn't budge. I went outside, have her some money after she asked, and I finished up that job and left.
2 things you should never do when running into sketchy people in sketchy places 1) make contact with them 2)turn your back to them when leaving after disturbing them
that was basically drummed into us a gazillion years ago when I started nursing. Be wary of turning your back on patients and relatives/friends. Try read the situation. Not even aimed at “psych patients” - average Jo Blow can get weird.
there's a big open canal that runs behind the alley my neighborhood, the week I moved here I was walking alone at night when some obviously very tweaked [and unusually tall] old homeless lady jumped out of the bushes and yelled "Hey boy, are you scared of black people?!!!" and I was like: "No ma'am, just you!" hahaha. she was like "I need just 75 more cents to go to Taco Bell! You have that?" I had like 5 bucks I threw down and was like "here, good luck miss!" and ran off. The poor homeless, I don't think they know how upsetting they can act, may God protect all their crazy asses LOL.
I get scared walking upstairs at night feeling like someone might chase me up, knowing nobody is there. There's no way I'd turn my back on someone knowing they are there!
the sudden burst of happines i got when i heard him saying estonia litreally made me scream ,like im from there and its rare that were mentioned,so im sooooo happy!
Yeah. I'm not from Estonia but I have been to Tartu Uni twice on academic exchange. I absolutely love Tallinn and Tartu. I also got a burst of happiness when that video started.
@@sadgirl7321School shootings are actually rare enough that you have higher odds of dying from a earthquake then a school shooting. Shootings in general though yeah depending on the region you live in they can be decently common. Though in about half the cases it tends to be more gang related stuff.
@@lotf5lordofthe595 hahaha I love that video! The "come and look at both of our buildings" gets me every time since I have both of the buildings tattooed on me. 🤣
Is it normal to just randomly hear gunshots in America? I've never heard one in my life, it'd terrify me! I thought the whole American crazy gun thing was just a stereotype
Yeah, it's just as scary as well for the squatter/homeless person knowing that someone is lurking around and discovered your place without knowing their intention.
@@XamsimsWhat could someone's intentions possibly be other than exploring or also finding a squatting space themselves? Lol. A demo crew won't come through at night.
you only say that cause you don't know what else is out there. try a bear at night for one...or a large cat... or whatever it is that takes the blood out of cows without spilling any out west... pretty sure there's worse things than that.... men are just men
This is such a refreshing take, not blaming the homeless persons, seeing them as humans, and no "ooooh some spooky ghost perhaps??" commentary. Really like it.
Thanks for mentioning the squatter's point of view. I was also thinking they'd be just as startled ny someone suddenly appearing in their place where they probably thought they were pretty hidden. It's gotta be just as creepy for a homeless person being somewhere like that as for an explorer. The explorer is actually more prepared to run in an instant.
In some countries, people can fire a document to the government to get the ownership of abandoned buildings and properties nobody else wants for free. I have seen this in far east Russia, where my in-laws live. There are many abandoned villages and small towns and saw people renovating an old apartment building in the middle of nowhere. The downsides are that it's very remote and no electricity or running water. But there are plenty of natural, clean water sources free of pollutants and Diesel for a generator is inexpensive. Internet and cellular services work via satellite. People can live self sustained and it prevents from buildings falling apart or become criminal hideouts. I don't live in the U.S., so i don't know if there are similar regulations.
@@hyperturbotechnomike The US has 2 different things that are somewhat similar. You can get free land to use as a homestead in some states, it's similarly remote, but it doesnt come with free buildings. Abandoned buildings are normally sold, but they're sometimes pretty cheap if they're remote, what often happens is people stop paying the taxes and the state repossesses the land and building, then sells it to pay the debt.
The fact that John in the last video didn't immediately leave when he heard sounds and walked towards the light that turned on makes me think that maybe we're too hard on the decision-making abilities of characters in horror movies.
Isn't it weird that a light would turn on in that house? I know in some cases it takes ages for electricity to be cut off without payment but that part seemed weird.
Yea it's staged as fuck. Who the hell explores buildings. Sees someone acting sus. And then has the bright idea to give him money? Then stays after the homie completely disappeared. But hey if dumb people believe it. Go for it
There was something about this video that really stood out among your other ones. The care and consideration of the realistic circumstances as well as expanding on the disturbing aspect, and turning these creepy videos into a creepy analysis video-it was addicting to watch! You’ve just been improving with the quality of your videos lately. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season; thank you for the gift of your videos!
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13
thank you for showing such kindness and giving credence to the "homeless" folks in these videos. So many videos vilify the homeless and im happy to see you breaking that sickening trend.
@@jennfaire8726 i always figured he had someone with him. A lot of channels like this bring someone along in case of emergencies even when that person never appears on camera. It's the same with some of those survivalist shows on TV too, even when it seems like the star is out in the wilderness on their own they'll often have at least 1 person along with them.
John in the last clip needs to be criticized. He had multiple chances to bug out of the house, assuming it's not staged, of course. The other guy gave him multiple chances, only choosing to threaten John when it became obvious that John's skull was too thick to understand what the other guy was telling him.
Right! If you walk around saying I've gotten myself into a bad situation, When all you have to do is walk out the door to get out of it, the Deserve-it-Scale goes WAYYYY up!
@@isaacthatsitBut the way his hand folds when trying to grasp the door knob as he's trying to escape, I don't think it was staged that seems like genuine fear.
Me watching horror movies: man this is so dumb, why do people in horror movies make the worst decisions Guy seeing a shirtless dude in an abandoned building crouching in the middle of the night: hey uh you want $20?
Man, that first dudes got nerves of adamantium. Im not easily spooked but I'd be shitting my pants walking around that place at night alone. Huge respect.
Imagine you're chilling on a bulding, the only place you found to be safe from weather and people, and some random guys just show up pointing a camera at you. I'd scream as well
@@yannouveSo what? Some common sense would tell you that there's probably unfortunate souls seeking shelter there especially during the night. If someone covered the doorway you'd think it's for a reason. Sad enough people have to sleep in abandoned buildings. But I know, who cares about other people.
I really appreciate the compassion you show towards homeless people instead of immediately villainizing them. Yes, they can be dangerous but they're people and not some monsters out of a creepypasta.
They very, very much can resemble 'monsters out of a creepy pasta', though, is the issue. The fucker in the factory in this very video for a very obvious example, but even that aside, drug addicts can be just as easily terrifiying as any monster.
The way he describes the reason for their actions is really good. They are probably also scared when someone shows up, they are in more danger than the average person and their home is something they need to defend and not rely on the law so I totally get why they would get aggressive even if they don't mean to go towards violence. I was wondering while watching the first video if one of these explorers would be less likely to be confronted if they announced their presence when they enter and say something like "I don't mean no harm, I am just looking around, if I am not welcome I will leave". I can imagine some people wouldn't confront if they weren't caught off guard.
@@papapalps2415 I'd like to see you try to live on the street for multiple years and keep all your wits intact. Every single person you meet can be dangerous, not just homeless people. Maybe try blaming the government who'd rather spend money on spiked benches rather than affordable housing or people who deal hard drugs instead of the homeless ☺️ They are still PEOPLE, not monsters.
@@v_doll This isn't an actual response, to clarify. Yes, everybody you meet 'can', theoretically, be dangerous, but homeless people will very much disproportionately be more so. Nor is homelessness a problem that the government can realistically solve, or at least, not with poor platitudes like 'affordable housing'.
After the 2008 recession, I got a job where I was required to enter foreclosed homes and take photographs of basically every room and certain key items of the house. They were all completely different, from houses that looked like the owners had just left to completely run down building. Would never do that job today and I am shocked I did it for two years completely by myself. One rule my boss told me and I always stuck with. If the front door is already unlocked, do not go in.
@@Ezio999Auditore Yes, excessive mortgages and lending broke the banks and stocks plummeted, lot of people lost their homes ,and house flippers bought them up and made them inaccessible to all but the richest realtor companies who just sat on them with a high price. The US was already recovering from a bad spell of homelessness after Regan decommssioned the mental asylums in the 80's, so even more joined the homeless count, jump to today and homelessness is at a peak, made worse by fentanyl/opiod epidemic and incompetent government leadership on both state and federal levels. Oh yeah, another factor for the recession and uptick in homelessness was the moving of manufacturing overseas, lot of industrial areas lost most of their business and people were laid off in huge waves. But that was a slowburn since the 80's, too. tldr you can blame a lot of shit on Regan for this.
@@ashl_ey it didn’t affect us at all in 2008. That’s because we worked at a different company and I think our house was nearly paid off because we sold our house in California for 2.5 times what we bought it brand new, so the banks were not able to take our house.
I believe Jane may have lied to protect herself, imagine being in that situation and hoping that random strangers take pity on you to leave you alone. She probably had no idea if they had good intentions or not. I hope she does get the help she needs.
And besides well researched, I apreciate the respectfull and grounded way you treat the people living in the situations shown in the videos, not assuming they are serial killers or supernatural monsters. It is truly refreshing man
The last video may be total BS though. There was never a cult in North Bruce, nor is there a "mansion" that looks like it there. It's a really small town and would stand out. There also wouldn't have been homeless squatters in that part of Ontario as they'd have no food or resources anywhere nearby. With that in mind, I think the guy just had a friend help him try to make a viral video.
it's hilarious how many "scary", "creepy", and "unexplained" videos there are on youtube which are either pretty mundane in reality, they're full of lies and exaggerations, or they've been explained or debunked. I've seen some channels that have even posted clips from movies or long debunked hoaxes.
I like how his channel is just not about narrating spooky stories but a combination of all kind of creepy and spooky :stories + videos + pictures everything spooky related lol
I don't mind the guy, but to *me,* it sounds a lot like he's emulating, or mimicking Mr. Nightmare's voice.. almost the same exact cadence and style 🤷🏻♂️.. but it doesn't bother me too much, it's just that it distracts me kinda. Nothing at all wrong with being inspired. Good channel. (Context: I've never been here before. Immediately noticed.) __ Not knocking the guy!
@@dronessentialNah. It's mostly bored teens or the squatters themselves to try and scare people. Either for a laugh or as a genuine threat to protect what some consider their turf.
@@einzelfeuer_2855 that's what I would assume as well. Good defense mechanism for them, not out of the ordinary behaviour for kids messing about. I saw the same being done by kids in an abandoned building where I grew up.
All these people that encountered others in the buildings have to remember how scary it must be for the other people too.Imagine your that old lady or the guy behind the raincoat and you wake up to some random guy shining a flashlight in your face.I’d probably scream too!
Hey, for what it's worth, I have really been enjoying your content. You are the first TH-camr I have run across who has interesting spooky content, and doesn't wreak it by being overly dramatic. Don't ever change.
Great to see a video from you Chilling Scares. Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year’s! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for next year!!
I really liked this video. At first with the thumbnail I was worried it would be one of those obnoxious videos about top ten whatever, but I was pleasantly surprised. The video was very straight to the point and informative. I will definitely be checking out more of this channel
Nah, I am sorry but he has no survival instincts... If you see some dude crouched like that in an abandoned, pitch-black basement, YOU GO BACK. He left and then started to go back again to "Help him". 🤦🤦 He is just begging for trouble.
These urban explorers walk that fine line between courageous and stupid. There are so many ways a person could be injured in an old, decrepid building. When something scares them and they run for it, I wonder how many can't find the way out - UGH!! Nightmare fuel! That being said, I have so much compassion for the homeless people who choose such a creepy, old, abandoned, unsafe building as a place to live
Yeah the first time I heard of Urban Exploring was over 10 years ago and it was cause teenagers in Poland went exploring an abandoned building and one fell through a roof, cut his leg on the glass and bled out cause his friends couldn't get to him and they were afraid to call the ambulance and get busted for trespassing
First story, never tell a man you found in an abandoned building you have money and plan to give it to him. Let alone, make your presence known to him. As compassionate as I am for my fellow man, if I find myself in an abandoned building by myself and I come across a man shirtless, hunched over in the corner like gollum from LOTR im making my way out of there as quickly and quietly as possible. Attracting as little attention to myself as possible because I dont know what this man is about and I dont want to find out.
@@thomasgibbons3226 it's the only rational explanation I could come up with for that situation. there could be others, but I can't think of any that truly makes sense
@@Tyrinny O.o nah, I got spooked but then I tried to rationalize what was going on, I don't think that's hating. I'm not saying it isn't something out of this world going on with that man hunched in a ball, but really it's either that or it's fake (or something rational that I can't fathom). who cares?
The 3rd story is so sad. She's a helpless older woman forced to stay in deplorable conditions because of poverty. Please treat our elderly better than this.
Are you that cynical on purpose? At 13:00 the video clearly explains the woman's situation according to the research made by the explorers: *she's not abandoned, she has places to live but doesn't want to leave, she has support that she doesn't accept.*
@@redacted2275 You're also unaware that she has outdated ideas of not accepting help. The elderly often choose bizarre things because that's how they were taught. Someone has failed her.
I've been both a homeless squatter and an urban explorer at varying stages of my life and will attest it can be scary when a stranger shows up at my squat, though mostly because I'm worried it's the cops lol. I would usually announce myself in both situations when in places and thought someone else might be there, but maybe that's just cuz I've been a squatter too. Don't want to scare anyone who might already be there.
I was thinking announcing yourself would prevent more confrontations than it would cause. If someone came in and said something like "I don't mean any harm, just looking around and will leave if I am not welcome" I can see how that prevents problems. Worst thing is alerting the person to your presence right? Walking around a pitch black building with a huge light is doing pretty much the same thing anyway.
For me, this was less disturbing than simply distressing & depressing that people, for whatever reasons, end up as neglected as the places where they end up living
Now this video really does capture the a chilling subject. Absolutely horrific to hear blood curdling screams and threats while investigating abandoned structures. Great compilation
23:51 "I've been hearing stuff upstairs, but I'm hoping....and I really mean this, i really hope that it's paranormal" This statement alone tells you that the unpredictable nature of humans is so much more terrifying than any paranormal spirit/activity.
honestly, i think those squatters that yelled at them (and the one that crouched in the corner) just have a good sense of humor and know it's going to scare the shit out of them
They *do* know it'll scare them, but it's not for any sort of humorous purpose. They just wanna be left alone, for all they know it could be police or someone who's ACTUALLY violent. It's to make intruders leave as fast as possible and not come back. I spent a year squatting about half a decade ago and had encounters with explorers/junkies/whoever poking around the vacant high-rise I was crashing in.
I used to be homeless when I was young, it's really uncomfortable to feel like you don't belong anywhere, even if people want to help you out your guard is still up all the time. So I used to go to a neighborhood that had this narrow streets and lots of houses and would just sit on a sidewalk and fall asleep. Sometimes people startled me and I tried to let them know I didn't mean any harm, just wanted to sleep somewhere where the wind wasn't blowing so hard. So thank you for mentioning that, I know it's not the same but we don't have the luxury of big bridges or sewer systems or even abandoned buildings, you have sidewalks and benches.
If that lady in the farmhouse is well taken care of, how come complete strangers like Meg and Chris can just step inside? Also, she seemed weirdly calm about seeing strangers in what would be her bedroom.
My idea to why she was as calm as she was is because in the video it mentions that "workers on the farm" bring her food daily, so she could've thought chris and meg were the farm workers bringing her food, checking on her etc?
as much as it's creepy and unsettling to see these encounters, it is also extremely sad to see people living in conditions like that... it breaks my heart
I live about 15 minutes from the factory in Cleveland in the beginning of the video and can confirm that gunshots are completely normal to hear regardless what time of day it is lmao. Nothing creepy at all for us, just a normal day in Cleveland. The only things you'll find in abandoned buildings are homeless people, drug addicts, and raccoons. And sometimes homeless drug addicted raccoons.
Lmao , they aint joking ohio is different as hell

Encountering random people in abandoned places is way more scarier than ghosts.
Truth. There's some skepticism as to whether or not ghosts even exist, let alone are capable of causing harm to people but we know for a fact other people can be dangerous.
That's the main reason I couldn't do urban exploring. I find it fascinating but I'd be too frightened of stumbling into a drug gang hideout or a crazy homeless dude or something. Ghosts don't frighten me, they aren't real. But crazy people are out there.
@@SaintPhoenixxspeaking in absolute certainty "ghosts aren't real" means you are absolutely scared of them
@@ashleybrooke2087they have been known to pull or push people or throw an object or two. people usually scarier
Obviously... Only of those things actually exist. People who believe in the paranormal are gullible fools.
That poor woman living in the farmhouse genuinely upsets me. She seems almost completely hopeless with her situation and continues to live that way under the belief that there's no other option, despite the amount of help offered to her. I hope she gets out of there and into somewhere cleaner and safer, she needs all the help she needs.
Yeah, that was genuinely distressing. I hope things improved for her.
She clearly needs mental health help. She lives like that because she feels like it's all she deserves. I feel bad for her. She should be entitled to have a council house there, but shed rather live in squalor. I feel terrible for her.
@@goodbher9244 sometimes living in Council houses are no better than living in squalor where most people have to deal with mold, depending on the property where she sent to she most likely won't have help to have people care for it and clean it
@@goodbher9244 Exactly this, she needs mental help but no one is talking about that because they think that she's just dealing with bad people when in reality it's obvious that she has mental issues that makes her believe that she has to live in those conditions. It's probably something to do with her brain, she either had brain damage or something.
@@Jeff_from_Atlantissome people want to live that way, even though it’s clearly a problem it’s not anyone else’s responsibility to shovel other peoples shit up a hill and most of the time will be pointless even if you do.
Do you think a clean house would magically stay clean? No.
I can understand why people living in these places react aggressively. I would be terrified if I found shelter in some abandoned place and suddenly heard people walking and rummaging around other rooms. Homeless people are at a high risks of becoming targets of violence.
yep. homeless people are some of the most vulnerable and least protected people in our society. homeless women in particular have the extra threat of being sexually assaulted, and they have even less avenues to seek justice than a woman with more privileges. no one cares about homeless people, no one sees them as human. it’s sickening. they deserve compassion and empathy.
Absolutely. People don’t squat in these places hoping to be found by an explorer, they are trying to find safe shelter away from strangers. It’s one of those “they are likely more scared of you than you are of them” types of things. That’s why I sorta have an issue with some urban exploring to some degree.
I actually never heard of homeless people being targets of violence by random people walking in on them by accident.
@@canadious6933 if you're in the city espcially in a high crime rate area it absolutely does happen. I've lived in abandoned buildings ive come across all sorts of people. Seen things and heard stories.
It does happen. A lot.
Maybe they wouldnt have to worry about it if they'd put the crack down and get a job.
So he saw the creepy guy in the corner that came straight out of the Blair Witch Project and thought "Oh yeah I'm just gonna keep on exploring", turned around and leisurely kept walking. Jesus Christ... Then half an hour later he goes back, the dude is not there and STILL he doesn't run? This is why people die in horror movies...
The guy probably just didn't want to be bothered, most likely mentally unwell or on drugs or both. If some rando came into what I believed was an abandoned building and started shouting "yo" at me I'd probably ignore him too until I found an opportunity to get out of there

He called squatters "regularly aggressive". He absolutely painted them in a shitty light.
@@King_WhiteWolf Depends on context. Clearly people who are going into their makeshift home aren't going to be met with absolute kindness. The apprehension of who it is on top of being homeless can lead to more fear and aggression. 20:08 and 22:12 also gives perspective.
I honestly just feel bad for the homeless squatters.
They aren’t horror movie villains, they’re people who were basically abandoned by society trying to survive using the old abandoned wrecks of once-occupied buildings.
Most likely, 90% of those ‘scary’ squatters are far more terrified of the urban explorers than the urban explorers are of them.
Exactly my thoughts, this is not scary but a very very sad reality
Yeah.. it's heartbreaking
"Abandoned by society" they came from families, some come from good and ruin their relationship w them, some come from bad.

You're in a room with only one entrance and four random guys pop up at the doorway, in the middle of the night while you're trying to sleep. You can potentially be raped, robbed or killed.

Can attest, we used to go to the house where my father grew up to harvest some berries before the building was demolished since my grandfather had planted that tree(it was huge). The possibility of us putting a bullet in the head of a squatter was quite high (they didn't knew we were there since we always take a spec ops approach to things like that exactly for those reasons) but they were definitely the kind to jump on you the moment they see you.

As someone who squatted difficult buildings for about 8 years, I can confirm squatters will be agressive to outsiders... but not because they are inherently agressive or dangerous. Its a tactic used to create public fear, thus keeping wandering teens and vandals from welcoming themselves in. We used this method most notably under the freeways in Toronto. I remember us scaring a kid who was filming us, he tried to run when we approached him but fell. He was a nervous wreck, so we helped him up, took him back to camp and cleaned him up. He was thankful and apologetic... and after revealing why we did it, he promised to tell his friends a crazy story about us. It was weirdly heart warming.
Bless his heart, and I hope you never find yourself needing to live in places like that again
I squatted for years I sadly stopped at 405lbs 3x5. I think I’ll try and get my sqauts back up again soon actually. I only can do 315x3 right now and I am ashamed of myself and can’t call myself a squatter right now.

Gotta say, the farmhouse situation is more common than you think. There are a lot of older people who refuse to leave their homes, despite no longer being able to keep them up. The properties become more and more run down to the point of looking abandoned. My own uncle lived that way during the last years of his life. He kept saying he was going to restore the house, but no progress was ever made. He slept on the couch in the living room with a hot plate and microwave on a side table. The shower was broken, and the only running water he had was from the bathroom sink, which is also where he did his laundry. The really sad thing is, he didn't have to live that way. When he died, we learned how much money he had...
yeah, it's really sad. an older family member of mine was born and died in his old farmhouse, and our family still owns it.. it's slowly crumbling with all of his clothes still in the closet where he left them, along with his parents' where they left theirs. still jarred veggies and fruits in the cellar.. etc. we're only just getting around to going through it because of my interest in urbex and it's brought me and my grandparents together although it's a difficult experience.

Thanks for mentioning the squatter's point of view. I was also thinking they'd be just as startled ny someone suddenly appearing in their place where they probably thought they were pretty hidden. It's gotta be just as creepy for a homeless person being somewhere like that as for an explorer. The explorer is actually more prepared to run in an instant.
In some countries, people can fire a document to the government to get the ownership of abandoned buildings and properties nobody else wants for free. I have seen this in far east Russia, where my in-laws live.
There are many abandoned villages and small towns and saw people renovating an old apartment building in the middle of nowhere. The downsides are that it's very remote and no electricity or running water. But there are plenty of natural, clean water sources free of pollutants and Diesel for a generator is inexpensive. Internet and cellular services work via satellite. People can live self sustained and it prevents from buildings falling apart or become criminal hideouts.
I don't live in the U.S., so i don't know if there are similar regulations.
Very interesting.
Homeless people are some of the most vulnerable people on earth. Being homeless especially living on the street is terrifying. TERRIFYING

@@hyperturbotechnomike The US has 2 different things that are somewhat similar. You can get free land to use as a homestead in some states, it's similarly remote, but it doesnt come with free buildings. Abandoned buildings are normally sold, but they're sometimes pretty cheap if they're remote, what often happens is people stop paying the taxes and the state repossesses the land and building, then sells it to pay the debt.

Yea it's staged as fuck. Who the hell explores buildings. Sees someone acting sus. And then has the bright idea to give him money? Then stays after the homie completely disappeared. But hey if dumb people believe it. Go for it
@@LaCazaLPlol
Hey buddy was looking a little down in the gutter. Bro, bro could use that
There was something about this video that really stood out among your other ones. The care and consideration of the realistic circumstances as well as expanding on the disturbing aspect, and turning these creepy videos into a creepy analysis video-it was addicting to watch! You’ve just been improving with the quality of your videos lately. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season; thank you for the gift of your videos!
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Believe that God sent His Son
(Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
I'm Praying for you and you are loved

@@catBoi_Finnbjorntroll spotted
thank you for showing such kindness and giving credence to the "homeless" folks in these videos. So many videos vilify the homeless and im happy to see you breaking that sickening trend.
Chris Hill is crazy to go into these old buildings alone at night, but he does have some of the best videos on TH-cam.
I busted out laughing at that dude yelling 😂😂😂
He is heavily armed and looks pretty fit and strong think he will be ok
He was with someone at cleveland building, you can hear other dude with him.
@@jennfaire8726 i always figured he had someone with him. A lot of channels like this bring someone along in case of emergencies even when that person never appears on camera. It's the same with some of those survivalist shows on TV too, even when it seems like the star is out in the wilderness on their own they'll often have at least 1 person along with them.
and he probably had a friend act homeless for the video
The last one actually scared the crap out of me, I did NOT expect someone to scream at the explorer like that
The most British jump scare you'll ever come across. "Can I help ya?" 😂
The English have the best sense of the art of the understatement 😂
American Jumpscare vs Briton Jumpscare.
John in the last clip needs to be criticized. He had multiple chances to bug out of the house, assuming it's not staged, of course. The other guy gave him multiple chances, only choosing to threaten John when it became obvious that John's skull was too thick to understand what the other guy was telling him.
Right! If you walk around saying I've gotten myself into a bad situation, When all you have to do is walk out the door to get out of it, the Deserve-it-Scale goes WAYYYY up!
the fact he runned away so slowly... i think it was staged ^^ but yeah careless !
@@isaacthatsitBut the way his hand folds when trying to grasp the door knob as he's trying to escape, I don't think it was staged that seems like genuine fear.
John is a stupid idiot
@@huhdidwhat Or decent acting skills. He ran too slowly and casually. Many of these were too planned and perfect to be real.
Me watching horror movies: man this is so dumb, why do people in horror movies make the worst decisions
Guy seeing a shirtless dude in an abandoned building crouching in the middle of the night: hey uh you want $20?
Best comment ever
20 dollars is 20 dollars
hahahahhahahahaha fr
Man, that first dudes got nerves of adamantium. Im not easily spooked but I'd be shitting my pants walking around that place at night alone. Huge respect.
ATTA MAN, TIUM!
Imagine you're chilling on a bulding, the only place you found to be safe from weather and people, and some random guys just show up pointing a camera at you. I'd scream as well
That is true but why at the bottom in the corner in the basement why not right where he started to walk in at the beginning like a normal person.
Still is not your home, a squatter is a squatter
@@yannouveSo what? Some common sense would tell you that there's probably unfortunate souls seeking shelter there especially during the night. If someone covered the doorway you'd think it's for a reason. Sad enough people have to sleep in abandoned buildings.
But I know, who cares about other people.
@@TinyTeaKettle you, me and hopefully many more
..now, put the kettle on
be safe
@@TinyTeaKettleAwee you’re so virtuous on the internet. Until these things negatively effect you, you will live in delusion.
I really appreciate the compassion you show towards homeless people instead of immediately villainizing them. Yes, they can be dangerous but they're people and not some monsters out of a creepypasta.
They very, very much can resemble 'monsters out of a creepy pasta', though, is the issue. The fucker in the factory in this very video for a very obvious example, but even that aside, drug addicts can be just as easily terrifiying as any monster.
The way he describes the reason for their actions is really good. They are probably also scared when someone shows up, they are in more danger than the average person and their home is something they need to defend and not rely on the law so I totally get why they would get aggressive even if they don't mean to go towards violence.
I was wondering while watching the first video if one of these explorers would be less likely to be confronted if they announced their presence when they enter and say something like "I don't mean no harm, I am just looking around, if I am not welcome I will leave". I can imagine some people wouldn't confront if they weren't caught off guard.
People can be more monstrous than monsters, homeless or no.
@@papapalps2415 I'd like to see you try to live on the street for multiple years and keep all your wits intact. Every single person you meet can be dangerous, not just homeless people. Maybe try blaming the government who'd rather spend money on spiked benches rather than affordable housing or people who deal hard drugs instead of the homeless ☺️ They are still PEOPLE, not monsters.
@@v_doll This isn't an actual response, to clarify. Yes, everybody you meet 'can', theoretically, be dangerous, but homeless people will very much disproportionately be more so. Nor is homelessness a problem that the government can realistically solve, or at least, not with poor platitudes like 'affordable housing'.
After the 2008 recession, I got a job where I was required to enter foreclosed homes and take photographs of basically every room and certain key items of the house. They were all completely different, from houses that looked like the owners had just left to completely run down building. Would never do that job today and I am shocked I did it for two years completely by myself. One rule my boss told me and I always stuck with. If the front door is already unlocked, do not go in.
Christ. Was 2008 this bad for America?
@@Ezio999Auditore Yes, excessive mortgages and lending broke the banks and stocks plummeted, lot of people lost their homes ,and house flippers bought them up and made them inaccessible to all but the richest realtor companies who just sat on them with a high price. The US was already recovering from a bad spell of homelessness after Regan decommssioned the mental asylums in the 80's, so even more joined the homeless count, jump to today and homelessness is at a peak, made worse by fentanyl/opiod epidemic and incompetent government leadership on both state and federal levels.
Oh yeah, another factor for the recession and uptick in homelessness was the moving of manufacturing overseas, lot of industrial areas lost most of their business and people were laid off in huge waves. But that was a slowburn since the 80's, too. tldr you can blame a lot of shit on Regan for this.
Yes. @@Ezio999Auditore
@@Ezio999Auditore For most of us it was. My family was part of the unfortunate lot and we didn't even have money to pay for one decent meal.
@@ashl_ey it didn’t affect us at all in 2008. That’s because we worked at a different company and I think our house was nearly paid off because we sold our house in California for 2.5 times what we bought it brand new, so the banks were not able to take our house.
I love your compassion and understanding for the homeless people in these videos. Along with explaining the dangers of exploring abandoned buildings.
I believe Jane may have lied to protect herself, imagine being in that situation and hoping that random strangers take pity on you to leave you alone. She probably had no idea if they had good intentions or not. I hope she does get the help she needs.
Unfortunately, a sensible solution not to rely on the kindness of strangers
That first clip of the dude just huddled in the corner was something straight out of Grave Encounters. That shit actually scared me.
Or I am LEGEND
Nah I was like dude why tf did you go back and imagine finding that bro was gone like I’d get tf out of there cuz he’d be wandering n shit
That whole first clip was like something straight out of the game "Condemned: Criminal Origins."
In a sea of lazy and unresearchd "creepy" videos on youtube, this chanel is an island of truly scary videos. Well done my guy, keep up the good work.
And besides well researched, I apreciate the respectfull and grounded way you treat the people living in the situations shown in the videos, not assuming they are serial killers or supernatural monsters. It is truly refreshing man
The last video may be total BS though. There was never a cult in North Bruce, nor is there a "mansion" that looks like it there. It's a really small town and would stand out. There also wouldn't have been homeless squatters in that part of Ontario as they'd have no food or resources anywhere nearby. With that in mind, I think the guy just had a friend help him try to make a viral video.
This guy gets things wrong basically all the time, he's the epitome of a lazy channel.
it's hilarious how many "scary", "creepy", and "unexplained" videos there are on youtube which are either pretty mundane in reality, they're full of lies and exaggerations, or they've been explained or debunked. I've seen some channels that have even posted clips from movies or long debunked hoaxes.
TH-cam dave paulides missing 411
I really appreciate how you give both sides of the encounter. There's a real alck of empathy in the internet so that's mad chill
Not only an abandoned building, but an abandoned old woman.
I don’t care if she isn’t my grandma, I’m her grandchild and I will spend time with her
I like how his channel is just not about narrating spooky stories but a combination of all kind of creepy and spooky :stories + videos + pictures everything spooky related lol
"is just not about narrating spooky stories" - that are often clearly fake, but many posters insist are true (this drives me crazy for some reason).
I really like the rationalization of things and all the explanations
I don't mind the guy, but to *me,* it sounds a lot like he's emulating, or mimicking Mr. Nightmare's voice.. almost the same exact cadence and style 🤷🏻♂️.. but it doesn't bother me too much, it's just that it distracts me kinda. Nothing at all wrong with being inspired. Good channel. (Context: I've never been here before. Immediately noticed.)

Not knocking the guy!
i love it that you inserted historical facts on these abandoned buildings and even made an effort to show where Estonia is located in the world map.
This video should just be called “Leave Homeless People Alone”
It’s actually terrifying to think you’re alone and you see someone crouching down after you read “it’s too late” on the wall at 4:05
I'm gonna play devil's advocate and suggest that maybe some of those youtubers wrote some of those graffiti. Just a suggestion.
@@dronessentialNah. It's mostly bored teens or the squatters themselves to try and scare people. Either for a laugh or as a genuine threat to protect what some consider their turf.
@@einzelfeuer_2855 that's what I would assume as well. Good defense mechanism for them, not out of the ordinary behaviour for kids messing about. I saw the same being done by kids in an abandoned building where I grew up.
I would have run so fast, that's a NO for me!!😭💀💀
18:55 that dude is extremely brave. And those signs were for him
21:35 this is the smartest man and the longest survivor in a horror movie
All these people that encountered others in the buildings have to remember how scary it must be for the other people too.Imagine your that old lady or the guy behind the raincoat and you wake up to some random guy shining a flashlight in your face.I’d probably scream too!
I wish more youtubers had such a professional, pleasant speaking voice as this narrator.
Professional voice, good and proper language, no timewasting, clickbaits, dodgy adverts. I love this channel
Hey, for what it's worth, I have really been enjoying your content. You are the first TH-camr I have run across who has interesting spooky content, and doesn't wreak it by being overly dramatic. Don't ever change.
Exactly. I respect him for that. Others overexaggerate with their moodsetting.
I like how sympathetic you are to the homeless people and squatters who are often just as scared as the explorers.
Great to see a video from you Chilling Scares. Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year’s! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for next year!!
Happy new year
I really liked this video. At first with the thumbnail I was worried it would be one of those obnoxious videos about top ten whatever, but I was pleasantly surprised. The video was very straight to the point and informative. I will definitely be checking out more of this channel
highly recommended. it's so good
Chilling Scares rocks!!
The first guy is so brave for interacting with that freaky crouched down man 😭😭
Freaky courched down man 😭😭😭
that's not "brave" that's stupid.
Nah, I am sorry but he has no survival instincts... If you see some dude crouched like that in an abandoned, pitch-black basement, YOU GO BACK. He left and then started to go back again to "Help him". 🤦🤦 He is just begging for trouble.
It's obviously faked for views and likes
you know it's all staged right?
You're alive is wild bro 11:02
These urban explorers walk that fine line between courageous and stupid. There are so many ways a person could be injured in an old, decrepid building. When something scares them and they run for it, I wonder how many can't find the way out - UGH!! Nightmare fuel! That being said, I have so much compassion for the homeless people who choose such a creepy, old, abandoned, unsafe building as a place to live
I've worked on too many old buildings to get into urban exploring too much. I've known too many people who've gone through old floors.
@@arthas640 Really? OMG! Hope they had cell service to get help! Otherwise, they're pretty much f*!ked. What a horrible way to go
@@jeank8061 Luckily non of them died and only 1 had serious injuries (damaged hamstring but he recovered).
Sometimes they hav no choice
Yeah the first time I heard of Urban Exploring was over 10 years ago and it was cause teenagers in Poland went exploring an abandoned building and one fell through a roof, cut his leg on the glass and bled out cause his friends couldn't get to him and they were afraid to call the ambulance and get busted for trespassing
Chris Hill is a freaking madman and has balls of titanium. I also liked how you shared tips for exploring abandoned places to keep safe. Cheers!
He's full of shit is what he is. He plants encounters for views and clickbait CONSTANTLY.
Nah he's dumb. Should have a friend go with him at least.
bro had me dying when he said he was gonna give bro a 20$ bill😂
I find it even creepier how at 3:18 the way the cement pillars are designed makes it look like it's saying "Hiii" to the recorder lol
wow
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
The "H" was must be a stove. The others are just holding the building. Its just your brain that wanna see something in everything.
Yeah lol I seen that
Hiii uwu
7:28 Yoo, I live in Estonia but not in Tartu btw so thx for mentioning my country. I really appreciate it!✨
This is the first time I see estonia in videos like this and estonian viewers, im glad that estonia is getting mentioned more❤
Man, i will visit yar place soon.
There was couple historian nerd shit i need. :D
Why TF does billcipher live in Estonia?!?!?
@@crumsy8444 lore
First story, never tell a man you found in an abandoned building you have money and plan to give it to him. Let alone, make your presence known to him. As compassionate as I am for my fellow man, if I find myself in an abandoned building by myself and I come across a man shirtless, hunched over in the corner like gollum from LOTR im making my way out of there as quickly and quietly as possible. Attracting as little attention to myself as possible because I dont know what this man is about and I dont want to find out.
What about if its your Buddy and you faked the whole thing?
@@HelgeStrichen Did he stage that interaction?
@@thomasgibbons3226 it's the only rational explanation I could come up with for that situation. there could be others, but I can't think of any that truly makes sense
@@joblo-y2r Ok. Regardless, point still stands, you find a strange man in an abandoned building you don't announce your presence to him
@@Tyrinny O.o nah, I got spooked but then I tried to rationalize what was going on, I don't think that's hating. I'm not saying it isn't something out of this world going on with that man hunched in a ball, but really it's either that or it's fake (or something rational that I can't fathom). who cares?
The scariest part about all of this is the asbestos exposure.
And all that tasty, tasty black mold.
@@lothartheterribleItchy. Tasty.
The 3rd story is so sad. She's a helpless older woman forced to stay in deplorable conditions because of poverty. Please treat our elderly better than this.
More likely mental health - she is turning down help and owns a different property
Mental health outreach is needed
Are you that cynical on purpose? At 13:00 the video clearly explains the woman's situation according to the research made by the explorers: *she's not abandoned, she has places to live but doesn't want to leave, she has support that she doesn't accept.*
@@redacted2275 You're also unaware that she has outdated ideas of not accepting help. The elderly often choose bizarre things because that's how they were taught. Someone has failed her.
Yeah ! No one in the comment talks about this ! It's extremely sad !
@@bluesclueschloe she has a husband that wants to help her, but is denied such
If a homeless person calls an abandoned building their home they are no longer homeless and it’s no longer abandoned
I've been both a homeless squatter and an urban explorer at varying stages of my life and will attest it can be scary when a stranger shows up at my squat, though mostly because I'm worried it's the cops lol. I would usually announce myself in both situations when in places and thought someone else might be there, but maybe that's just cuz I've been a squatter too. Don't want to scare anyone who might already be there.
I was thinking announcing yourself would prevent more confrontations than it would cause. If someone came in and said something like "I don't mean any harm, just looking around and will leave if I am not welcome" I can see how that prevents problems. Worst thing is alerting the person to your presence right? Walking around a pitch black building with a huge light is doing pretty much the same thing anyway.
@@DeathBlocks Exactly.
For me, this was less disturbing than simply distressing & depressing that people, for whatever reasons, end up as neglected as the places where they end up living
Yes, that bothers me too.
I hope I don't end up that way
The reason is money. Wait until inflation raises
Now this video really does capture the a chilling subject. Absolutely horrific to hear blood curdling screams and threats while investigating abandoned structures. Great compilation
i love how empathetic you are towars those unfortunate enough to live in these conditions
23:51 "I've been hearing stuff upstairs, but I'm hoping....and I really mean this, i really hope that it's paranormal"
This statement alone tells you that the unpredictable nature of humans is so much more terrifying than any paranormal spirit/activity.
Your empathy for being people going thru difficult times is touching. You def have a new subscriber.
That farmhouse encounter is something straight out of Resident Evil 7.
CANNOT believe that social services did not take that woman out of the farm house that looked like it was ready to fall apart
I can't even imagine what those are going through living alone in a dark place
Hell
It's their only way to survive though
those?
honestly, i think those squatters that yelled at them (and the one that crouched in the corner) just have a good sense of humor and know it's going to scare the shit out of them
They *do* know it'll scare them, but it's not for any sort of humorous purpose. They just wanna be left alone, for all they know it could be police or someone who's ACTUALLY violent. It's to make intruders leave as fast as possible and not come back.
I spent a year squatting about half a decade ago and had encounters with explorers/junkies/whoever poking around the vacant high-rise I was crashing in.
@@thebobbalo1 I hope none of them hurt you and that all those encounters ended without anything bad or unpleasant happening

Chris is the MAN, he is always prepared, is kind, intelligent and doesn’t take extreme risks while he’s there
What? He did the complete opposite. Except for the kindness.
For some odd reason, I read that as Christ is the MAN & the rest of the sentence made me 💀
I used to be homeless when I was young, it's really uncomfortable to feel like you don't belong anywhere, even if people want to help you out your guard is still up all the time. So I used to go to a neighborhood that had this narrow streets and lots of houses and would just sit on a sidewalk and fall asleep. Sometimes people startled me and I tried to let them know I didn't mean any harm, just wanted to sleep somewhere where the wind wasn't blowing so hard. So thank you for mentioning that, I know it's not the same but we don't have the luxury of big bridges or sewer systems or even abandoned buildings, you have sidewalks and benches.
If that lady in the farmhouse is well taken care of, how come complete strangers like Meg and Chris can just step inside?
Also, she seemed weirdly calm about seeing strangers in what would be her bedroom.
It was an elderly lady, they're not known to be fighters
My idea to why she was as calm as she was is because in the video it mentions that "workers on the farm" bring her food daily, so she could've thought chris and meg were the farm workers bringing her food, checking on her etc?
the guy got scared shtless when the woman spoke LMFAO, cant blame him I'd probably have a fkn heart atack 🤣👌
Hahah
as much as it's creepy and unsettling to see these encounters, it is also extremely sad to see people living in conditions like that... it breaks my heart
This video got my heart pumping! Good job!
