You scared the stew out of me, with that bridge incident. I jumped and gasped. My heart can't take that, so STOP it.!
Me too!!
keep yourself safe Jacob because the world needs people like you in it
Basement:
"Nope!"
😂
Could you not hear us all yelling DON'T CROSS THAT BRIDGE?????
Sarah Black
Yes Loudly!!!!! My heart was pounding
He must be hard of hearing!
That bridge crumble sounded scary! I'm glad you're okay!
He Fell Hard ... Also Glad He Is Ok !
Yeah, that scared me for a sec:)
Scary stuff! Be careful!
If you think that was scary @2:03 you see it right in front of you...OMG...its
"Bob" run!!!
Its funny cause he fat.
That dust on the stairs was powdered ninjacide. Thanks for taking us along.
Your my favorite because you have a map of your locations...
This is important in passing the torch to other history nerds.
Hat's off to you sir
Now thats what you call "Old School"
I used to live in sw Virginia and would make parts deliveries to the mines in that area with my husband. Always wanted to go inside that school..thanks for coming to that area!
Glad you came out unscathed. I was legit scared when you fell through those planks. Stay safe out there, Jacob!
good to see you out in abandoned builds again and just as deadly as in just as falling down and not 100% safe
Hello, I really enjoy your videos. I live in The City of Norton Va. and have crossed Black Mountain several times to visit Lynch Ky. on my way to Harlan Ky. Many of the old cement buildings in Lynch are coal company buildings. The old houses across from the school look like coal company" houses. Bigger houses like in your vid were for the bosses to live in, the actual miners lived in small little cabins (4 or 6 rooms depending on the size of the coal miner:s family).that for the most part were poorly build and didn't last too long. The second mine you showed is definitely an old coal mine. In these hills that is what you call "low"coal. From the time you went in to the time you come out at night you had to crawl and dig by hand or use special machines designed for working in"low" coal. In Lynch or maybe in Benham Ky., there is an old building with "Colored School" carved in the stone above the door. Very cool. Be careful.
+R. D. Raines wish I would have known about that
R. D. Raines my mom was born in Norton, 1935, maiden name Boggs. But moved to Indianapolis 1940. Her moms' side is Peters.
There were two schools for the black children to attend, Lynch WEst main, the one that has Lynch Colored Public School engraved at the top, adn the east Benham school just down the road.
That's up in my hometown lol i use to play there when i was a little feller. I haven't been able to go up there yet. I hope you got to check out the coal mine museum.
+Exploration Unknown missed the museum, but did portal 31
Awesome look foreward to it.
My dad did to went to school there
My junior high school use to be the high school. They finally took that old school and converted it in to nice apartments. The architecture of the outside of the school is beautiful.
I hope you're ok. Good lord you scared me on that bridge when your foot fell through!!! Be careful!!!
here is a big shout out to you Jacob I watch all your videos live them all
Fascinating. Worry about you when you are in those creepy abandoned places. Hopefully you let some one know where you are at all times.
Foot through the bridge added a little action to your normal comedic & interesting videos... More action Carpetbagger!
great video as always Jacob. x
its a shame that they just leave buildings like that to crumble to the ground. they should restore them into something or tear it down.
Definitely, but unfortunately it's often deemed to be more costly than it's worth to restore them or tear them down.
Asbestos is too hard to get rid of
I live the next county over but basically the mines are almost gone in this area. No money who can afford to do anything with it. Unless someone converted it into a home its prob not going to get used and the city cant afford to tear it down. They don't even have a local police dept anymore.
if it was close enough for me to get id consider turning it into a home though but its about an hour from me.
@@jeffreyrigged how long has this been closed down?
Love this video awesome found 👍
Great job videoing the old school !!! Keep them coming Jacob.
Really,really interesting!But Geeeeez at the falling through!Pulleeeeze be careful and stay safe!
Oh my gosh. I really like you and your videos. Please don't die in an old crumbling video!!
glad you're OK Jacob be careful buddy.
glad you weren't hurt. great place
The vines growing up the school was crazy!!!
Scary oldest school I've seen in year's please take care and be careful
Stay safe GOD TRULY bless you in all you're awesome trip's
I like you're travel channel's
Lol as soon your foot went through that bridge I had to come read the comments. Stay safe.
Awesome old building. Thanks for showing it to us.
Wow that was a very cool place Awesome!!
Got my cool post card today, "Rafting on the dam" very Neatly written.
thanks Anna.
At 5:50 when you were about to fall to calamity, your laugh sounded like Santa Claus, HoHoHoHoHo......
+Eric Baker I'm an idiot
No You Are Not!!!!
Cool thanks for sharing
Great video
Omg my heart stopped when you fell. Holy crap! Dude they could make this a historical coal site. I think it would be awesome to see how coal shaped the Midwest/mid southern towns, how the towns ran and what they looked like.
😯Thanks for doing all that walking 🚶 & steps for. Nice video!! 😊Appreciate you!
That was awesome! I miss your abandoned places videos.
Neat School :) Glad you made it over scary bridge :)
Jacooooob! You scared me!!! I am so glad you are ok, and please don't be walking over any old bridges anymore, ok? It isn't worth you getting hurt!!!! Okay????
I absolutely enjoy all you're videos keep up the good work
Carpetbagger
nice video, enjoy the back story you do.
I grew up in Lynch, KY and my mother (class of 1967) still lives on the street ( EAst Main Street). A little history about the school for you. It was built by Italian stone masons from MIlan , Italy, that US Coal and Coke Company recruited to build the town. The entire town was a company owned town until the 60s. The school was all white until desegregation laws passed in the early 60s. There were 4 Class "A " ( smallest school size in the state ) state football championship teams from this school in the 60s. Their nickname was the Golden Bulldogs. The first graduating class was 1924 and the last was 1981. The school was maintained by the US Steel Coal Company . These are 2 different buildings. The small one is the grade school and the larger one was the high school . The students received top notch educations here. US Steel recruited the best teachers in the state for these kids. Most of the boys went to work in the mines after graduating and married their high school sweethearts and lived in the town . The little creek behind the school is called Looney Creek . Why? I have no idea. There is a lot of history to this school, with academics, sports, music, etc . It was the pride of the town of Lynch . If you have any questions for me just ask and if you type in Lynch KY you can see more videos about the town. Thank you.
My father grew up across the street from the school
Jacob, Jacob, Jacob!!! If you are not more carefully in the future, you will have to stay after class and we'll send a note home to Kristi AND Annabelle!
And we will take your fan hat away 4 two weeks!
that's awesome u saw the old abandoned school
Jacob, I'm from coal country in SE Kentucky, small town called Hazard. Thanks for this video, it reminds me of my hometown!
This was a great explore and interesting to see+ Glad you didn't get hurt though!
I've been all around that old school. Definitely an unsettling place. I used to live five houses away lol.
When did you live there? Igrew up on Main St. Who are you? We probalby know each other. lol
I love how nature reclaims.... thanks for all you do!
Basement, nope but rickety old metal stairs that are already falling apart? why not? Was afraid that roof was going to crumble too! Stay safe out there.
Amazing location Jacob, complete with creepiness, epic backdrop and peril! That roof was major suspect.
Ok, well now my heart is going 2xs faster!! Thought you were going to be hurt crossing that bridge!! That wasn't safe. Loved the tour, great video But please be Careful!!!! Alive Is Good ♡
There is a community appreciation block party in Shartlesville, PA. at Roadside America on May 20th. Don't know if you ever plan on coming that far north but thought you might like to check it out.
Nearly landed in "nice little river down there" Jacob. I think your better off exploring Ridleys cause those old buildings have killer asbestos. Enjoyed video. Love from Australia 🌹❤️
Spectacular building & love that hat
I got my first postcard from you today! Dude, my mother and I were hysterical, and we probably shouldn't have been! I started out on my front lawn. That postcard of the guy with all the boils... the hysterical part of it is *that* was the display they chose for a postcard!!!! That was great! Thank you so much!
+Wildflower Runner love that Postcard!
Creepy though the greenery growing on it makes it interesting looking
Wow, that bridge had me shaking. I am so glad you are okay and didn't tumble all the way to the ground, be careful out there.
He should have played quietly in the backgroud the sound of children laughing and talking like they do. It would really add to the effect...like memories....
AS usual and interesting place to visit. I'm an early bird on this one.
Yay! an abandoned video!!
LOL OMG that was crazy! Glad to see you're ok
That's some creepy horror movie/game vibe of that place. Keep safe all the time Jacob.
I love these videos. No need to fall. I jumped a little lol. That was creepy. I always like seeing the places you go to and things you see. Thank you
Yay! An explore!
Cool vibeo.
Now that's what I call old school urban exploring!
Oh, wow. I'm really glad you didn't twist your ankle or something crossing that bridge! Even though it doesn't look in the least bit safe, I'd definitely like to explore that entire school myself.
OMG!! that hat is so cool!! XD
damn, dude....respirator and tetanus booster! you scared the crap out of me.
That was once my school. We left that area in 1960. I still see faces of the children, and I still hear some of them crying. In those days you made the grade or you did it again. Shame you didn't drive down the road about two miles and film the old "Colored School". And yes those are the words on the building.
You should check out the old Hayswood hospital in Maysville, KY! it's been abandoned for years and it's still filled with medical equipment. Technically you're not allowed to go inside, but people still do... also, it's haunted~ ;)
The big windows on the side almost reminded me of "Red Dawn."
Love the hat!!!
love the hat
I hope you are ok from that fall! That place reminds me of my old high school with the way the classrooms are- large open rooms with lots of windows.
i often think about the man hours put in to construct these buildings and it would be awesome to have had some footage of its operation in its hey day
It was built by Italian stone masons from Milan, Italy. There are lots of old photos . Look up Lynch ,KY.
my heart stop when your foot stuck in that bridge.
love watching u
I’m from Eastern KY. You’re doing things I would love to do but I’m afraid to do. Keep it up carpetbagger!
Wow Jacob you are a brave soul! I would be afraid to walk around in this old school. Aunt Mary
looked like a figure standing at the end of that first hallway you filmed, cool.
when i saw you fall on the top of those stairs i got worried but im glad you are ok and another great vlog
You scared the hell out of me! I thought you were falling through those stairs!
Omg u could've fallen in the river 😫glad you're okay! Loved these old buildings
Please be careful if you fall and get really hurt who will know your out there? A simple fall could be life or death in an abandon place. Love you videos, but we as an audience connect with you. Please just be safer! ❤️🙏
Jacob, does your wife watch these? Because MAN if I saw video of my husband ninja'ing around after reading the helpful "Ninjas die here" graffiti I would kick his ass SO HARD. Then we'd both have messed up ankles.
I hate to encourage bad behavior, but I do love this sorta stuff. lol. Thanks for sharing.
+shoedalinuxlibrarian she knows I'm not a ninja
Did you see the guy with the flashlight @4:43 down the dark stairwell ?

you and adam should visit natural bridge or buck horn lake ky.
This was probably a fine looking building in its prime!
Yes it was. It was built by Italian stone masons from MIlan , Italy in 1924. There are pics of it look up lynch KY .
You are far braver than I, sir lol.
Be careful glad you didn’t get hurt
Try Brushy Mt Prison in TN. It's a museum now.
I've been there! Your def in BFE for sure! lol
When you fell through the rotten wood on the bridge it really s--- me up god that was bad
That's one creepy building
Jacob, u scared me when your foot fell through... please be careful bc we don't want to loose you.
wow that old rotten bridge is a shin bone scraping incident waiting to happen...ouch just thinking about it
✨🇺🇸Your a gem , Jacob !!!😎#StaySafe
What's sad, even with minimal upkeep this place would still be looking good.
We get it Jacob - it's 'abandoned' :D
