No one should be living in those conditions least of all an elderly lady, it's detrimental to her health and very dangerous. Hope you go back to see her to check on her welfare, i think she enjoyed your company. You showed her such care, kindness and compassion your lovely people the world needs more people like you two ♥
But the fact is....they do. The question is...What are you willing to do about it?~ ME N D US
I think there is something mentally wrong with Jane. I know some of you out there will think I'm horrible, but I think she should be taken somewhere else, which is clean, and have someone come in every other day to check up on her. Thant's what the law is for. I had worked in home care for over 30 years, retired now, I've seen some horrible sights. Something should be done, sooner than later. I wouldn't want, someone coming in and hurting her. Just my opinion.
Hope they get her some help.
This is the UK. It's pretty commonplace.
Wow I would have peed myself. This is an amazing story. I pray you become her friend.
I’m quite alarmed and concerned at the replies that this lady is giving when you are asking questions. Having worked in elderly care I can clearly see that she’s just fobbing you off with answers you want to hear. I don’t believe she eats particularly well because if anybody was bringing her food in they wouldn’t leave her in the state she’s in. I don’t believe she’s got clean blankets and I don’t believe that the bath works or that she is capable of having a bath. I would contact social services and get them to go and assess her because I really feel she needs some help like a package of care. I hope she is ok. I thought there was a dead body in the first bed you saw especially when you said about the smell!!
My point exactly thou I didn't mention her conversation which weren't right with these two. Oh I get this, oh I get that ? No she needs professional help. Not only now the property is a target, she will be aswell. So so sad 😓
@@windariaw9156 That was creepy 😲
Yes I think she was just fobbing them off too like she just wanted to be left alone
I agree with all these comments!🤔😁✌
Social services would put her in nursing care and sell off her home
Ya'll don't understand. When one gets older, one fears being put away in a home or facility where we will no longer be in charge of our own lives. I'll be 69 tomorrow. I have friends my age, who live in poverty because of the fear of being put away.
You were very kind. I hope you brightened her day even a little.
69!!! Wheeeyy heyy!!!😉😉🤣
@@Andybarney555 noice
I don't get it at all. What is scary about having a clean place to live and people to take care of you? I know not all assisted living places are good, and I can understand being afraid of winding up somewhere gross or with neglectful or abusive staff. But the concept as a whole isn't scary; it's the opposite. Having a roof over your head versus living in squalor or on the street? Put me in a home!
@@JewelChick01 The loss of control is a scary thought, especially for those who've strived to be self-reliant their whole lifetime. I don't find the idea of spending my twilight years in such close proximity to strangers appealing, either. Some people don't feel free at all unless they're in solitude. Obviously, someone living in the conditions displayed here isn't thinking rationally and needs help, but I understand the desire to stay put.
Her living conditions are so BAD these people thought the house was abandoned. They kept talking about the STENCH. The place isn’t fit for ANYONE to live there. It should be condemned and she clearly needs assisted living. Poor thing is alone in utter filth. Obviously she’s in need.
If I were them I’d call adult protective services. She needs HELP.
I am a retired Police Officer and in a long career I have experienced similar cases to this, and worse where it involved decomposing bodies. You have to put your feelings to one side while dealing with these, professionalism and priorities take over or you couldn't do the job. Only later it hits you, when you think of the tragedy of someone who has been abandoned or ignored, no family or at least one who cares, who may have mental health issues or ill health. It can and does make a grown man cry and now many years later I still think back to these experiences. Life can be so unfair and there are many people living like this that most are totally unaware of.
Thankyou for your honesty! Despite the professions we choose or the shocking encounters with the unexpected reality of life,at the end of the day we are all Human and suffer the same emotions.
SO devastating
It's so sad. Unfortunately it can happen to anyone, no matter how many people one has in their lives.
That's probably going to be me😢
I could not do what you did. So much respect to you. Blessings 🙂🇦🇺
I heard the elderly woman tell you....come again sometime.
I would not be able to sleep at night after seeing what deplorable conditions she is living in!
I just pray that you will check on this woman & keep us updated.
100% this - she asked you for one thing, that’s to visit. You offered her every thing under the sun. Please visit her.
Take her clean blankets...
This is how she chooses to live
Im a caregiver, and i can tell shes set in her ways.
But dont ask, just bring her what you think she needs snd go from there.
She is from a humble generation that doesnt ask for help.
You need to push a little.
Save her please, she sounds like an angel. 😇
Spot on, they want to show people that they're still strong, that is how it was done in those days.
yes thats ok but what happens when some body can can push to much or stick there noses in to much ... these older people are proud are dont believe its a in handouts....................... a fine line
@@eamonnquigley2125 every aspect of life is best case worst case. It doesn’t mean we should give up doing the right thing, before we even start. Push a little, because a lot of elders need the push to break out of the fear zone. There’s good and bad in the world. There’s no reason to be afraid of doing good due to holding onto all the negative possibilities. Fear doesn’t guide.
@@MrCav74 yup, truly 😇
So much respect to you on how you handled this situation. I just find it horrific that someone is "living" like that. It's a stark reminder that any of us could find ourselves in such a situation, regardless of having family and so called care systems in place. A sign of the times indeed.
shes survived like that for 30 plus years just fine, and you think she needs your help lol, if the conditions were that bad she'd have died off already, think about it, your logic makes no sense
@@l91106 Have you got nobody who gives a toss about you??? Are you jealous??? Social services can be found easily online. Cheer up. You might be sitting in pissy pants but you're not dead.
@@l91106: It's attitudes like yours that create problems like this. Just because she said that she had lived like that for 30 years doesn't mean it is true!
Have you ever dealt with a person who has dementia? She may have been fine, or at least somewhat able to cope up until a few years ago, or less.
relatives and
@@met54 what you talking about they got verified information shes lived like that for that many years, the womans family have verified that
@@l91106If her family cared, she wouldn’t be living like that.
This is probably the nicest thing anyone has done for her in a long time. She did not rush you out nor was she rude and she could have been. She spoke well. Humanity at its best.
It wasn't breaking and entering because the window was left open. They didn't force their way in.
The place is abandoned and they didn't know anyone was living there also it's good they came by because they probably gave her company and they said they'll bring her food and stuff @KevTech1
Omg I honestly believe only in Britain would a situation like this turn into something so polite and heartwarming
That's a bit of an asshole thing to say about the rest of the world
Not true at all , there are good people all over the world ... this just happened to be a good situation with good people .. there are plenty of bad people .. all over the world as well .. have you traveled much ? I can tell you the worst place I have been and the absolute best place I have been .. and the best place I have been is definitely in the united states ! Quaint little town , where elderly are cared for by their families there are no nursing homes , they are not needed there . Everyone looks out for each other . I would tell you the name of the place , but places like that are best kept secret .. too many people take liberties and would go there just to see what they could get out of it .. thieves and burglars and just plain trouble makers ! It's the type of place that is 100s of miles from an interstate and the only reason I know of this little tiny town is because I have an aunt on my fathers side who married a widower in that town , and we visited for two days in the summer of 2014 .. i felt like i was in a dream . It was like being in a movie about an ideal paradise where everyone is happy and everyone helps everyone and nobody goes without . It's amazing how a community like that can thrive when everyone helps each other . It's like the perfect balance that one wishes to achieve in life .. I didn't even see any trash anywhere , not even a broken down car . Not even an overgrown yard . I would move there myself if I didn't have so much invested in where I am today . Don't get me wrong , I love my 400 acre property .. but there is something very special about a place that felt the way that felt . It's definitely what dreams are made of . I am sure there are similar places that exist all over the world .. and they too are probably kept as secret as possible . I understand why , I just wish all the world could be as beautiful and special .
I'm pretty sure Canada would be just as polite, maybe even more polite.
Rural America in some places. Also maybe in Luxemburg.
Only in Britain do elderly people live like this
Being elderly myself, I know how difficult it becomes to keep up with the house maintenance, and housework... OMG, that poor lady is in desperate need of help, it's one thing living with cobwebs and dust bunnies, but trying to live in house that is falling down around you, windows falling out, freezing cold and damp and sleeping on a filthy rotting bed, is something straight out of a horror movie. She thinks she's ok and doesn't mind living like that, but nothing could be further from the truth. I know I would try to make little of it and appear cheerful, giving all indications of not wanting to make a fuss, but inside I would be screaming for help and extremely depressed. :(
Yes - all of this exactly!
I only worry instead of getting assistance they take her out to nursing home a bit of loving and care she could end her life proudly at home we owe our elderly that.
@@ceciliavillalobos9837 Do you really think she is better living in the squalor conditions than she would be in a nursing home? I do not.
@@playhooky I work in a care home and we love our people, sometimes get people rescued from situations like this
My mom is an RN , working in a nursing home. She said even the best ones are mediocre at best. Begged us to never put her in one.....so keep that in mind. Alot of nursing homes are indeed awful. Very few are great and bear in mind you have to pay for those home's that are. Not free....
A Blessing you found her. You treated her with dignity, offering food ,help,compassion. I hope you can check on her again. Its so sad she has to (or has chosen to) live like that in her golden years. 😢 Prayers she gets the help she Needs.
That's beyond sad. I once explored an incredible 1850s home in my college town. Found 2 YOUNG teens inside scared, hungry, but TERRIFIED to go home.
That's one of the saddest scenes I've ever watched. I do hope you guys go back, I get a strange feeling about it all and I think she needs your help. Please keep us posted, us viewers could chip in and help get her some stuff. You only have to ask us ☺️☺️ xxx
You know hon, the "strange feeling" you're getting is 'on point' with many, many others' as well... My comment was about the other bedroom and if you look ON the bed, you see what REALLY LOOKS LIKE A BODY... leg lines, rib cage torso, and a pillow covering the head... (Because it's oddly raised off the mattress quite a bit, and nothing visible underneath)... It's downright chilling...
I think her old man was long mummified in that one bedroom and no one's the wiser, which in addition to hoarding, she might be holding on to her husband the same way, just more disturbing and truly mental...
The explorer gal asked why she didn't use the other bed, and she stammered, then said 'there was a hole in the flooring'... Funny, all they encountered was a very foul stench... No holes seen or mentioned... Just thought I'd pass my thoughts to ya... (Lol! My gut said there was "more" there, just not revealed...yet... So, I was right there with your 'strange feeling' too, Mamas!!)... God Bless! 🙏😇
I’d be happy to donate to the cause! Please let us know how!
Yes! I would chip in as well. Please call for a welfare check on her. She seems to have her mind functioning well. She’s well spoken. She must be lonely. I can’t imagine my own mother or family member living like this. She said someone brings her food. Whoever knows of someone living like this and does nothing about should be held accountable for not reporting it so she can be properly cared for.
@mu ma they have updated and to be honest it's not their responsibility. There's obviously no recent update as Meg and Chris have been in Belgium.
Was not expecting that hope she ok I know I'm only now watchen this but any news on this
This story reminds of my childhood back in the late '50s, early '60s.
We had an old lady who, for whatever reason, chose to live under a canvas (not a tent but a sheet from a truck) in a small wood not far from us.
She had a timely routine whereby she would come down into our small hamlet where my mother & nieghbours would make her a big mug of tea and some sandwiches to keep her health up.
She too refused help of any kind in that she was offered housing, preferring instead to 'live under the stars'.
She later did fall ill and, when she didnt appear for her tea, my mum sent us kids up to see if she was ok.
We had to call an ambulance for her as she was very poorly and was taken into hospital.
When mum was allowed, she & dad visited her in hospital and they walked past her in the ward, not through malice but because the nursing staff had showered the old lady cut and permed her hair and she looked soooo different.
Alas, after she was let out of hospital, she didn't survive much longer, succumbing to old age and the ravages of time.
God bless 'Old Kate Dalrymple' as she was fondly known as to us kids.
when i was little (1960s) i remember going with my dad to deliver one of our pups to a man who lived in a tiny caravan (no leccy or anything) with a huge lorry sheet tarpaulin home made awning thing where his team of working collie dogs lived. there must have been 8 or so dogs plus what we delivered and he was in a little sheltered orchard right next to his work - open hill and moorland. but we all had sisal baler string belts on our rough coats back then!
@@MsVanorak
Hardy folks, they don't make em like that any more👍👍
😢
I have spent the last 11 years in the ambulance service. People don’t realise just how common this sort of situation actually is. We often attend properties like this where people are living in squalor.
That’s crazy people still live like this
Even if she chooses to live like this, surely this would be a safeguarding concern. All councils have a duty of care.
@@njow7586 indeed. We do our safeguarding reports but you can’t force someone to accept the help.
What country are we talking about
yes, i'm a support worker and visit people in their homes - people with either severe mental health conditions, dementia, physical and mobility issues etc - i come across situations like this, never as bad but its not uncommon. When you cut social care budgets to shreds, underfund mental health, obliterate elderly care and community services this is the result and we've been doing it for the last 30 years. When you hear on the news that social care has been cut yet again, its just a news story - its only when you come into contact with the very real and human damage like this people get upset - but its the horrible reality of cuts after cuts after cuts, thats what people need to be upset about - these things need to be funded
Thank you for caring for this sweet lady. You were right to contact Social Services. They will have done right by her. Hopefully found a nice warm sheltered flat for her with a garden. xx
if the social work said they were aware of this lady, well it doesn't look like they are doing much about it. Probably the 3 of them were fobbing off the social work, the woman, her husband and and her brother.
This is heart breaking .. as an explorer myself on a explorer point of view I think this should be shared to the whole urbex community as you say places may look abandoned but that’s not always case .. I think your very brave to share this 💚
Aue orrivel💜💜💜💜💜💜
Truer Word's Never Spoken 💜
Well said
Everything happens for a reason. I believe this was divine intervention. I’m in the US, and was a social worker in adult protective services . Here I would have gotten guardianship and placed her on a residential care facility. She is considered a vulnerable adult. Anyone who knows about a situation like this is a mandatory reporter.
😊🙌🏽🤙🏼
As a fellow urban explorer and content creator myself, I applaud you in showing this so respectfully. What a kick to the heart, eh? I know you're getting the run around, but please try and stay in touch with her. Sometimes, they do want to live like this, and sometimes, all they need is a friend.
True that, when I was a kid in the 80's I was a tear away. Always getting in truoble with the police etc. There was an old lady that lived in a smahed up old camper down a desolate country lane. I befriended her through her liking my dog, I spent a lot of time with her. She was a wonderful woman full of wisdom and through her own kindness helped me see the error of my ways. She eventually got forced into a care home and died shortly after. It was her nomadic existence that kept her going. RIP Sheila
Well said and respect to the explorers I’m new to this channel just subscribed hats off to how you both managed this the shock finding that lady
She just doesn't want to be a burden, you can tell she is actually so happy to have some company. I'm wondering who is bringing her food.
@@melaney7252 I agree. I almost cried when she said maybe they could come back sometime. 🥺😭
@@analoguesine1691 What a wonderful Crone and how fortunate for you both your paths were destined to cross
*_SAVE HER PLEASE. MAKE A GOFUNDME AND WE WILL HELP!!_* 🙏🏼🙏🏼 she deserves a clean safe apace with no stairs.
That poor lady, my heart goes out to her. No one should have to live in those conditions in this day and age. I pray that Jane will be rehoused and well cared for. Blessings to you both for trying to help, God bless you both and your children xx
This is probably a lot more common than a lot of us realize. We live in the United States and with the rising prices and the wedges that social media and politicians have driven into our society our elderly are suffering. We all need to make sure our neighbors know that we care about them especially our elderly neighbors. Just came across your channel and your kindness to this woman warmed my heart, thank you so much for helping her.
Back in 1989 in Florida I became homeless, an avalanche of bad things happened. I was a construction worker and next to the site was an abandoned house sitting empty, the owners had passed away. after work I would leave to shower at a local gym and return later to sleep there. it was as if the people were on vacation, fully furnished with a nice bed. there was no water or electric but it served me well until I could get back on my feet. these things happen. my memory of sitting on that bed looking out the window trying to sort everything out is burned in.
@@freefromit2 . I’m glad you got your life together. I was also homeless after a life changing car accident and a divorce. I now have a home again and I’m very thankful for everything that I have even though it’s not anything fancy. I also made sure to teach my daughter that the holidays are not about things, they are about family and I took her many times to a homeless shelter to help distribute food because I never wanted her to take for granted what she has or treat other human beings suffering as if they were nothing. I’m proud to say that I have raised a kind and giving adult. I hope and pray that things continue to go well for you. Stay safe.
It’s an absolute travesty how devalued the elderly are in the United States . Their caregivers are valued much better either sadly
@@1927su Interesting comment since this video is in the UK.
Emanuel atleast it stays warm for the most part in Florida.. hell , I could live on the beach .. but in the uk , cold winters must make it unbearable .. I certainly couldn't do it .. this woman isn't living, she is merely existing !
I wish to tell you a story about an "abandoned" farmhouse in the mountains of the Highpoint state park area in New Jersey, USA. The door was wide open , so I invited myself in. The place was loaded with stuff. Lots of boxes, a grand piano in the large living room. I called out, asking if anyone was home, because I thought I heard movement coming from upstairs, as I slowly started to take the stairs, I stopped cold because I heard, clearly, the distinctive sound of a shotgun cocking. I didn't see it, but I definitely heard it. I made a quick exit and raced out of the door to the kitchen in the direction of my car to be met by a huge dog! Something along the St. Bernard breed. he moved toward me but I had grabbed my car door handle a threw myself in just as he reached the car. I never went back to that place.
Be careful out there!
Sheesh brother, glad you are alive!
Haha sounds like some situations I've been in, yeah gotta keep on our toes when exploring and also you should have a partner along in case
I think I know what house you are talking about
Dicey deal wandering thro .a house like this. Omg. Not even up.5 auction some poor.lady problem died there alone and cold no family ect
It looked to me her deceased husband was lying under the covers next to her ! Probably why she was so dissmissive and not wanting help !
GUYS IM PRETTY SURE THERE WAS A BODY BESIDE HER ... POOR THING IS PROBABLY SLEEPING BESIDE HER HUSBAND ... bless you both 🙏
There definitely is tho how strange omg
Imagine breaking in to someones house then waking them up to tell them how much their house sucks for 15 minutes. Unreal.
There was a dead fucking bird carcass in the other room for Christ's sake
It’s not her house
It's not break and enter if it's already open
lmao really manifests the disrespectful aspect of urban exploring, just strangers barging into places they really have no business in.
😂😂😂😂
You two are kind and responsible. Your empathy, in days like these, is a blessing. Thank you.
They broke into another person's home and scared the crap out of her while rummaging through her stuff.
They are only kind because they got caught doing a bad thing.
Amen Sarah!
You both are so genuinely sweet and caring. ❤
The council should be helping her giving her a home!!! Not those that turn up here demanding housing. Poor lady she clearly needs help but wont ever ask. British people need to shout out louder now. X. Love your videos and I love how you approached this and was so caring. ❤️. That is no way to live your last years .
They seem to be aware of her but she doesn't want help. You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.
unfortunate but it happens a lot...my life not far from
Humanity. This moved me to tears. You two are such beautiful souls. Thank you for sharing and reminding us we ALL can do more for those around us, even strangers, and we ALL should. I have been saying lately that "in the times it can seem as though there is no humanity left, its actually when humanity is all we have left."
Lean hard into living with loving kindness, society needs it. ♥︎
I feel it was a blessing that you found this lady. The compassion and concern in you and your wife's voice is truly touching. You are truly beautiful wonderful people.
I've been an urbexer all my life and I can honestly say this is one of the sadest situations I've seen .
God bless her........
And just the fact of she's been there since 1993 is crazy .....
My only hope is she's in a better place now ....
this tugs are the heart strings. she shouldn't be living like that. thank you for all your research and trying to get her help. your both amazing. love both of you. look forward to next awesome exploration.
Two angels stepped into her room and she is assisted.
Problem is being put into a care/nursing home is a horrible alternative. Most seniors fall into a deep depression wich hastens existing illness or worse.
@@Contessa6363 she is not able to care for herself noone should be living in that house she probably had no heat no water maybe no food sometimes nursing homes aren't a good choice but she needs help
@@brendamullins7491 ......
It would be wonderful if the neighbors around there would get the ace back into order for her well-being
She might not want that! Folks get into a comfort zone and don't t like change ..
Gosh this upset me I felt so sorry for her. Doesn’t matter if they say she chooses to live like that it’s still bad . Well done for trying to help you were great with her. Only just found you and glad I did
That was the scariest thing I've ever seen! You two are truly kind hearted folks. So nice to see that nowadays.
Heartbreaking. I hope we can get an update on this poor woman. People in her age range are reluctant to take help because of their upbringing. She does sound sweet.
Oh my goodness 😭 that poor lady, so heartbreaking to think that people live in such conditions, it's one thing living like that when you are much younger, but to live like that in later life is so sad.i absolutely commend both of your caring gentle nature and how respectful you are in that situation and as individuals. It truly shows that there is still some good in humanity. Thankyou to you both , truly 🙂
I certainly hope this person is now in a safe place and is being properly taken care of.
I hope she's in her house living how she wants not how others want her to live
@@Mike-su8si YES!!!
This was a trar jerker video to watch. The both of you had so much compassion in your voices. You could see how difficult it was to leave her like that.
I worked in care for 18 years and I saw cases of elderly being brought into carehomes and they didn't want to. It breaks my heart. Ive no idea whats happened to this lady now but hope she is ok.
I go urban exploring weekly and this is definitely something that has concerned me every time i go into abandoned buildings .
It was great to see such caring, kind and lovely explorers like you both. Im definitely subscribing to watch more of your videos. Many thanks both 💚💚xx
Thankyou 😀
I'd heard an explorer had discovered someone in bed but thought I'd never get to see who it was. For the loving way in which you treated her I am now a subscriber. She seemed genuine in wanting you to visit so I would, maybe she just needs a purpose in her life, a reason to get up, a reason to look after herself, please adopt her, help her with her home even if it's done discreetly she doesn't need to know you're tidying up, you may be what she needs.
It breaks my heart to see her in that condition I hope she gets the help she needs thanks for showing this
What about the whole fact they broke into someone's home went rummaging around her personal effects then went into her bedroom. I bet if the owner wasn't old and frail they would have been really screwed. And that asshole giving oh you scared me. Over and over his way off placing himself as a paltry victim in a weedy way. If it was someone who was a bit more with it I'm sure some trespassers would be awaiting charges, and criminal charges. Or a good kicking in self defence.
@@williamramage9461 they don't break in & trespass is not a crime in the UK all the police can do is ask them to leave.
@@karenm3822 if i came into your home a complete stranger go looking through your effects .Really you woukd be in a state of fear and panic .Would me offering an apology cut it no matter how nice i acted .I think not and i think the police would do more than ask me too leave .
@@williamramage9461Its not her home, listen better.
Thank you for being so respectful to this poor lady. It is super sad that anyone is allowed to live like this in the year 2022. Pigs live in cleaner conditions. Social services should step in ASAP and get something done for this poor woman.. Cant believe she has lived like this for 30 years.. Heartbreaking! 😭💔
If she is of sound mind, lives there with permission and chooses to stay there, no one- not social services, the NHS nor the law can make her move. It is horribly sad.
Any update on the elderly woman you found? She has very poor judgement that is highly detriment to her physical and mental well being. APS should be called to at least check her out.
I bet that was quite frightening!! You handled this well.
@@YeCatte Yes, I actually contacted Adult Human Services in the U.S. state of NM where my elderly father lived and had a wonderful, amazing social worker drive up 2 hours away plus another 30 min. drive on a dirt road to interview him because he lived alone in a cabin and was starting to worry me with signs of dementia. He would after all, get in his truck and drive and forget where he was going, where he was or how he returned. After a couple hours I escorted him back to the gate (another 30 min. drive) and he stayed and talked to me another 30 min. Basically my father would have to be in a much more degraded state of mind and living conditions such as being violent or starting fires, living in absolute filth, etc. Eventually he lived with me and my then wife in home hospice care until I could no longer keep an eye on him. One thing I'll never forget is when the interview started with me in the room the gentleman asked dad if there were any concerns and my dad looked over at me and stated how I was abusing him more or less. I remember being taken aback but the man knew his business; he'd been doing this all his working life and was near retirement himself, plus he knew the background. My dad and I loved each other dearly and we had worked together in a business for many years until he retired and I ended up taking care of him on and off for five plus years, even leaving the state to travel to him which cost myself 2 jobs and put a terrible strain on my marriage. The point is that even after I had arranged a neighbor to check on him several days a week including checking his meds and getting state services to assist in any way possible and taking him in and out to different rehab centers, i.e., nursing homes, hospitals (in 2 diff. states), back to his cabin, having him emergency choppered out (seriously, he had 2 pulmonary embolisms on separate accounts), ad nauseum........ folks just don't want to feel like someone is taking over their life. And they are embarrassed and they are frightened. I get that. I still miss him greatly. He was worth it all.
Her voice sounds like she is still young, so she should get out of bed and do some clean up, because for the last 30 years she doesn't do anything.
@@charleshoang566 she's an old lady,go back to eating cats
This breaks my heart for this poor lady! I hope she will be alright! Thank you for being so respectful to her.
You guys are so kind and respectful to that sweet old woman. Please keep us updated!
This is so wrong - we wouldn't let a dog live in such terrible conditions. I'm no expert, but it looks like this poor lady needs medical help and adult services are not doing their job just letting her lie there in a filthy decaying house.
Thank you for being so kind and sympathetic towards her and doing all you could to help her.
Sadly adult social services are unable to do anything if she refuses the help and has the mental capacity to do so.
So sad I really hope someone went and checked on her and could see she was definitely at risk from living in this condition she must be so lonely…. it must of played on your mind when you got home so much ..god bless her .
You are two lovely people. I was so moved by your rapport with this lady. Your children can be very proud of you both.
I want you two to know how truly special you are. The honest & genuine concern you have for this sweet old lady is touching. I teared up watching this and hearing her sweet voice. When she said that you could come by sometime to visit, I really cried. I hope you do check in on her again sometime if you hear back from the man. I hope APS can help her in some way without uprooting the life she apparently chooses to live.
When you 1st walked in that room & I saw the bed as you passed it, I thought it looked like there was a person - or body - under those blankets on the bed! God Bless you both for being so caring & courteous & non-judgmental to her!
I thought I saw someone in the bed when he came in...I thought for sure if it was a person he would have saw it...not expecting it I guess.. very sad video. I hope they went back an took her goodies.
@@aliciak6753 The first thing I noticed on entry to the room was that the clock on the far side of the bed was still ticking away. A sure sign the house is still occupied
Her husband looks to be next to her and not moving 😢
OMG thank you all the research you did on this lady, I know she chooses to live like that but she just seems so sad, lonely and really mixed up. You were both so kind to her and I don’t think you could of done much more.
People live like that sometimes because they are independent and don't get bothered. Usually!
Hats off to you both. You showed the lady kindness & took an interest in her well being. Well done for finding out the information & contacting adult services. Lovely to see kindness & care still exists.
I genuinely choked up watching this, I was a carer for years and to think this woman has been left to live this way is heart-breaking to say the least. You guys were so courteous with her, bless you. I hope she gets the help she needs poor woman.
What kind of help does she need she's in her own home comfortable in her bed in all that she needs a new door lock and locks on the windows maybe
Maybe someone or that couple go back and clean up the bird shit
That had genuinely just broken my heart 💔 such a beautiful and warm welcome from a lovely woman who just woke to find 2 strangers standing over her, both of you was very polite and friendly which I felt made Jane feel at ease straight away. Well done on following up with social services but I still feel this lovely lady needs protecting at all costs! It's just heartbreaking!
You two are so kind and caring , she was lucky you came in that day and it probably made her day having use to chat to
Wow, that was a weird one. From the video description I was expecting you to find a mummified corpse in one of the bedrooms, which would have been pretty horrific. But finding someone alive, living in those conditions somehow seems worse.
She obviously didn't want to make a nuisance of herself, so told you what you wanted to hear, but I was somewhat glad to hear she does have family of sorts, but she obviously still needs assistance. I just hope she ends up being cared for in a better place than that damp awful place. I'd be very surprised if it had a working hot water system, and if the electrical system is safe enough, maybe an electric heater for her bedroom for the time being. But looking at the state of that place it's probably got an archaic wiring system with no earth, so overloading it could potentially start a fire.
Good luck to her anyway.
In one word - HEARTBREAKING! , thank you for sharing this and for being so kind and generous to Jane.
Just goes to show how we never know how other people live and that we should be much more aware. - this could be any one of us one day ! Let’s hope that Jane is doing well 🙏🏼
"You scared the life out of me!" No, this is not from the old lady. This is from the intruders. You're lucky you never gave her a heart attack.
I thought the exact same. 😂😂😂
This was an incredible glimpse into the life of this random individual. It was very emotional. I really appreciate your respect, care, concern and subsequent actions to assist. Amazing video, thanks.
I'm stunned and shocked and saddened.
This world never ceases to surprise me.
I'm curious about her admission, "What happened was, I came here to help someone. And this was only for a week ...and that was, uh, in 1993." (30 years ago). I wonder what happened to the "someone" living in the house when she arrived to "help" them 30 years ago? The other room with the "foul odor" appears to have a body or something in that bed underneath the covers. The authorities need to check her story out, because this situation is way off even for someone who is completely destitute and elderly.
I agree, it looked like a body and she said she didn’t like that room even though it had a better, cleaner bed. Not saying she killed anyone but something is up. Either way, she’s in a deep, deep depression.
I agree, it sounds something like a trafficking situation to me. With it being a farm, her coming to ‘help’ and living in those conditions for so very long (the house looks 1960s through and through so I suspect it was in a terrible state even in 1993), there have been stories in the news of people in similar situations being identified as victims of trafficking. I hope social services have considered this possibility and other similar scenarios but knowing how busy they are I fear she is falling through the cracks. A second opinion from Hope For Justice would be a good idea.
God bless you guys!! The lady seemed to enjoy your company (after the initial shock).
It was heartwarming to witness this interaction between the two of you and the older lady..
Poor baby, I hope she is able to live more humane soon.. no one should live in those conditions.
That old house could really look nice if someone cleaned it up, removed the old wallpaper & painted the walls!
🙏💙😊
I hope she gets help it's difficult to think she's there alone,thank you for being so concerned and caring.
This is sad and scary. You handled this very well and she seemed to enjoy your company. Please pop round again sometime with some goodies. I’d love if you could set up a fund page where we could perhaps donate a little something. A new mattress would be amazing. Curious to know if she’s in good health or gets chance to go out much. Well done guys ❤️
Yes of course! Any proceeds from the video at least - and we can help. how’s this going?
Me too..go fund me might work.. we could donate a little something..
I noticed the walker , and I am afraid that she cannot get downstairs to get out of the house with any sort of ease. I would venture to guess she eats maybe very little and uses the bathroom in a bucket . Very sad , no shower or bath . Nobody to talk to , nobody , not even a pet .
This is so sad. I wanted to reach through the computer and take care of her bless her heart. Is anyone coming to feed her or bathe her? God bless all of ya'll.
I wish everybody felt like you did and tried to take care of our forgotten elderly.
Is there a way to donate and help this sweet old woman? This is so sad that any human being lives this way with those conditions. This should be a learning experience for all of us, nobody's mum should ever end up like this. You guys handled it brilliantly, what a shock! You have a new sub here, thank you.👊👊👊
You're absolutely right about that. We all need to look out for each other. Especially the elderly because they're too proud to ask for help.
Thank you for being respectful towards this lady and not showing her face.
You are unbelievably compassionate to that woman! Bless you!
OMG I saw the shape of a body in the bed, but I thought it was a dead person, you stumbled over. I'm in shock that she can live like that. Thank you for caring and sharing.
I thought the same
when they went into that room there was a large hump on the bed did it not alarm them there was somebody under the blanket.............................its not right this day and age a lady has to live like this she must have been very lonely she said she had no family................sad
@@eamonnquigley2125 I guess when you're concentrated on filming, you don't always notise everything. I was looking out for something as thet told us, something was going to happen.
i guest your right i remember back here in ireland going into a adbanded old house i would have been about 13 years old chairs/beds /table everthing was left the last thing you would execpt to see is somebody still living in it....................... a forgotten past
Yes, I saw the shape in the bed as well and thought it was a dead body
I almost stopped watching this but I’m glad I waited. If I could afford it I’d fly her here to live with me in the US. Thank you both for displaying such kindness toward that woman!
One of the best surprise explores I have seen, well done for offering any help to 'Jayne' but some people are too proud to accept any help as they think it is charity and prefer to live how they live etc.

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos, and I instantly like both of you. Maybe it's partly because I'm a Brit-o-phile, but I do appreciate the concern and kindness towards one many people may consider as the least of us.
Liked & subbed.
That's so sweet of you. I would feel like calling Social Services, there's got to be something like that in the UK. It's a tough call, really. I was bracing myself for you to find a dead person! I hope she's alright... So sad, older people living alone and in such terrible conditions...
This scared me at first, too. One of you mentioned it really reeked in the house, and I honestly thought there was going to be the dead body of a squatter somewhere! I'm glad you are checking on the lady, though!
God bless you both for your kindness and dignity in this situation. You even followed through to the fullest extent.
These two are so kind. God Bless you both.
It breaks my heart to watch this poor old lady living in such horrible conditions. So glad you found her and did your research. God bless you both for your kindness and god bless her and keep her safe.🏴❤️

22:00 Please don't let it stop there. Call the local news. We would all donate to help her. Something is not right with this story. She's in a house that is decaying around her and she did ask you to come back. Your wife even promised her food!
What a shock for you both & the lady. Hope she gets some care & well needed attention every soon. You were both very kind and warm towards her.
Omg, that was so heart wrenching. I love that you all tried to help her.❤😢😢
I have been on a call to a house in as much disrepair as this, I actually drove past it as I thought it was abandoned owing to the boarded-up windows . I called back to my main office as I was so shocked by the condition. Unfortunately, it's a sad reality that many elderly people live in conditions such as this .
not just elderly people. 99% of the human species lives and dies in squalor while well off europeans walk around thinking everyone on earth is upper middle class and only suffers because they mismanage their family fortunes lmfao
This is so sad, the living conditions are no good for this poor lady, she’s so cheerful aswell, she deserves to be somewhere safe and warm, you were so kind trying to help her, she seems happy enough but it’s the safety aspect that’s concerning not only the fact the house is not deemed as fit also anyone could get in there.
@Sarah.Taylor.....
The house needs some cleaning up. Painting, and some repairs and it would be fine. Her bed things need to be thrown away needs water and heat of some type. And electricity
I love how she is just asking normal questions as if they didn’t just find her chilling there
“You can come again some time if you want” broke my heart. I really hope you do
This video broke my heart. Such a sad sad situation. Your concern and compassion was wonderful. You are a lovely caring couple, and your kids have got an amazing mum and dad. Love your video's.
Love to you both xx
No one should be left to live like that. She obviously doesn't realise how bad her situation is. I've worked in care homes most of my adult life and people are bought in from similar situations not knowing that they can be looked after, fed and cared for. The transformation within a few weeks, mentally and physically is amazing. Everyone deserves a safe, clean and caring place to live especially as they get older. Bless her hope she's doing okay.
Any updates on the lady? You guys handled that Situation so beautifully. You could tell jane (the old lady) appreciated that but when offered help you can tell she kinda wanted to accept but got too embarrassed and said she didnt need anything,l. She is aware that this is not a good situation she is in. Elderly people quickly feel belittled. Hope she is doing ok
That was very moving & alarming. No one should be alone in those conditions. Respect to you both for caring.
It is amazing the condition some people live in. When I was a child my father knew a family with three children. They lived in a two room house using blankets as room dividers. (They all lived in the one room the other room was where the pigs lived) Their bathroom was an outhouse; nothing wrong with that my grand parents had one and so did we. We had a toilet but only used it in the winter and bad weather. My dad added a bathroom the second year we lived there. Please be safe when exploring you never know what danger may be lurking around in these old places. I really enjoy the work you do and the background info. God Bless. Pat from Nova Scotia Canada
Bless you both for your kindness and effort trying to help this lady. I really hope she’s getting what she needs 🥺
I hope you went back and checked on her. Poor, poor lady. My prayers are with her. You are so sweet to her. I pray that your family is blessed for being such kind people. I'm glad she gave you permission to come back around. Edit: that adult social services will do nothing makes me very angry.
She invited y’all back, how beautiful.
You handled this perfectly and I hope you have went back to check on her.
Are there any updates in this poor sweet lady? Thank you for being so loving and compassionate with her!
Whoaaa!!!! That is wild!! Really sad situation. I have to admit I had to rewind again and again to listen to your reaction! Great episode!
this is so heart breaking. no one should be living like this, especially on their own. just imagining this being my mum had me in tears. 😭
You two are really sweet. This is sad to see. It's always good to remember how good most of us have it and at the same time other people out there are really in need of help, God bless you all.
Wow I have never heard such kindness from absolute starngers. You guys are amazing to offer this lady all that you have! Wonderful to see such a nice couple with such huge hearts! Human kindness! Awesome!
Oh my this is just so very sad. You both must have got such a shock finding this lady living like this especially in this day and age. You showed so mucn compassion and care for this lady and I must thank you both for you concern and especially contacting adult services. You must have been so conflicted as to what to do, I hope you both take time to recover from this. It is mesmerizing for want of another word to see that there was no evidence of a life living there at all, so heartbreaking. Thank you both for your compassoion and care. I wish you and your family all that is good in life.
Theres thousands .you just choose to ignore people in this position .Next time you walk past a homless person go and ask them the same questions that where asked in this .
So many comments about it being heartbreaking .I say welcome too reality .People are living like this all over the UK.
That was a joke. I can't imagine being so old and disabled, laying in bed waiting to Die, and some idiots show up in your bedroom who think they're "exploring". Whatever the hell that means?? Her Friends are dead and gone, all the places she used to go to have been forced to close up for a condo, times change and everything is gone. That's what it means to grow old. You'll be there too. We all will.
@@Crosshatch1212......
And all over the United States as well. It's a global problem and only going to get worse I'm afraid.
God bless this women. She reminds me of my own Mom. Same friendly disposition.
This is heart breaking and you are so kind. I'm sure you'll be back.
8:35-Will forever and ever be the funniest and my most fav reaction in any urbex video-and I've watched a lot.
That "omg" said with genuine mortal terror like he witnessed Freddy Kreuger, Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers all standing there.
I've watched it dozens of times and I'm still lolling.
From the bottom of my heart I hope that lady gets the help and love and support she deserves and needs and the fact that u offered her help shows that there are people that can show love means so much thank u from ben
WOW, sad to see that she was living in that situation! You both seem so kind and caring, It is nice too see in this day cause so many young people don't show the compassion you have!
...a one in a million chance to meet an amazingly brave soul. She is beatyfull as are you and your little family....simply syncronistic.....
I must say you handled this very well, both in the moment and with your follow-through on making those inquiries. You made sure she wasn't completely on her own and that was pretty much all you could do. It certainly wouldn't be my choice, but I have known people who would willingly live (and were living) in that kind of squalor in exchange for the freedom of not being responsible for anything -- including themselves. It's hard to fathom.🥺
Wonderful to see some people still really care while allowing others their wishes and respect to live how they wish. Kind, good people.
