    That dog was way too friendly and comfortable around humans to be abandoned and didn't want/need much water. Definitely an outdoor pet someone is caring for. also went back the way he came so probably has a home. But you and your team are very sweet to animals, so thank you for offering water.
    What a beautiful old town this must have been in its heyday.

      those bricks are dead. those buildings are unusable and have been for a while. their are brick structures in Italy that are nearly 2000 years old and in Egypt that are twice that. that made it a century at best of being usable

    This place died out around 1985 according to a former resident . I was so fascinated by it I scoured the web for more info . I remember seeing places like this when I first started driving in the early 1980s in upstate new york and even New Jersey where I grew up that still had residents and are no longer there or the same . Really cool video

    Omg the dog is so friendly. I want to bring him home . This was beautifully captured. I can just hear that old radio playing while people mill about while buying a newspaper and sit outside the barber shop and stop at the gas station with the little bell that used to go ding ding when a car pulled up♥

    The dog isn't skinny, she's actually at a decent weight. Can't see any protruding bones. And given her friendly demeanor I would assume she's someone's pet who just has free roam. Not uncommon in the south, my dad lives in the deep country of North Carolina and it's very common for dogs to live completely outside, they run around and approach people, but they know where their homes are and don't wander too far. With that being said I really HOPE she's not abandoned. Given the fact that people are feeding the cats she probably does have contact with other humans in some way, shape or form.

    I grew up just down the road from this place in Chase City. Plenty of intersections out in the country just like this around that-way. That whole region of south side Virginia was once the wealthiest part of the state, and the whole south really up until the turn of the 20th century (1900s), so there's a lot of this kind of stuff around.. The original Randolph Macon college is down the road out in the woods if you know where to look, but it's gonna go soon if it hasn't already. Sadly that boom for this region ended long before my lifetime. It's been seeing significant development in the past few years though. Great motorcycle riding out there too, miss it! Great video, I hope it blows up!

He didn't look stressed or dirty like a homeless dog would. I think he just came over to say hi. Great video once again, thanks Devon.

    So many commenters here are totally clueless about rural living. It's very common for country folks to let their pets roam free. The dog looks fine and happy and likely lives nearby. He can certainly find its way back home easily. It's bizarre how many of you are advocating straight-up kidnapping the dog and dropping it off at a shelter. Don't meddle in things you don't understand...

    That old year book is really cool!! Can't believe someone left that behind. This is creepy place but very cool at the same time!! I just wished more buildings had access to inside them, I love looking at what is left behind. But most of them did look like you couldn't have gotten far with out getting hurt! I agree with you in that when you got around to the back of the stores, it was really creepy feeling... makes you wonder what they stories are with this town that no one knows about!! Thank you for giving the dog some water, what a sweet puppy!! (I call all dogs puppies! LOL) Thank you for taking us on your explore. Stay safe!!

    Most ghost towns that have survived structurally, have done so due to building codes put in place by that towns city council or other organizations. Most of the ghost towns in the west were build completely out of wood. Few are left now. The JC Penny's catalog pages looked like 1970's fashion.
    Thank you for this intriguing tour.

    I understand your young and you to you it may appear to have been abandoned in the early 1900s, I see a lot of a blast from my past with all the typewriters, beds and other furniture that was the modern technology. I grew up in the 60s and 70s and after watching this, my estimate of complete abandonment seems to have occurred in the early 80s, was the last to leave this town. They did keep some of the old relics of its youth bit, they did also, grow with the times. I know that the 60s and 70s may seem like a 100 years to you because of your youth but really, that town has only been abandoned for about 50 years now. Great history though.

    • @DarkExploration
      @DarkExploration  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The place was abandoned in the early 1900s. That's when the majority of the people left. Even in the old pictures of the town in thr 1970s you can see buildings boarded up. I did mention that the remaining buildings did stick around til the 1970s so your observation makes sense

It was extremely sad and very lonely, as are many faded old era towns. Too bad it wasn't saved before it reached this level of decay. It could have been a nice little area for people with no where else to go. Great video. Thank you for posting.!!!!

      When health disclosures and the law caught up with tobacco, the industry took a beating, so I can see casualties from that. But you're right, with outrageous home prices, it's odd to see abandoned towns. Fixing them up must be even more expensive than other overpriced options I guess.

      So many homeless people, and we’re wasting taxpayer money bussing immigrants to wherever. Why not have both groups resettle in ghost towns? I mean the issue is mostly where to put them, and in the old days, immigrants were quickly made legalized citizens and persuaded to settle out west with very little. As a community they found ways to build, grow/raise food, and acquire water. They established their own towns, schools, and such.
      I mean, this town is too far gone, for safety reasons, I wouldn’t recommend it, but there are communities abandoned in the later part of the 20th century that still can be saved and be used.

    I really ❤️ love ❤️ exploring Old Places or should I say did now I do it vicariously through Videos like Yours. Funny thing my Mother grew up with an Abandoned Ghost Town on the back acres of her Old Family's Homested growing up. She always said, She an her Brother were forbidden to ever go there by her Dad. She said after awhile she got busy with School and life an just never thought to go back an explore to see how Old it was for sure, as the Old Homested had been passed down quite a few Generations. My Grandpa Passed an the Old Homested was sold to Wild Life Presvation Company. Now it Private Property so No telling. It was Pretty Old in the 30's it would be nice to find out. Mom an everyone else is gone. All that's left is the Children of Adults/ Cousins.

    I thought that Class Book from 1938 should be rescued from decay and destruction. Once saved, research everybody in it and see what became of them, obviously they are all deceased by now would make a great little history show/display.

    Amazing place, and great to see it all still standing , I’m surprised it’s never been used for a movie set , it’s a pity someone can’t spend some money on the place and refurbish the buildings or at least make them weather proof or vandal safe

    • @Fektthis

      Those buildings are not worth trying to renovate. They're derelict and safety hazards. There is nothing left to save. It's a shame when it happens but sometimes it's not worth saving and it's just time to tear them down. These are well past that point.

    that was cool, thanks for sharing....and caring for the dog a bit...kind of sad seeing him alone in that parting shot...he looked happy tho...Surprised alot of that stuff remains in those bldgs. and the free mason logo on that furniture was odd, wonder if there's a story behind that.

    Who owns this town now? This place looks like a great setting for an artists' collective if a group were to purchase it and settle there.

    That was absolutely fascinating. Sad that no one has taken in interest to restore anything, although it would be a massive undertaking! Thank you for the history and the tour. Cheers from California🎃💜😎🇺🇸
