- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Untouched by time and disruption for decades, this home has been naturally decaying since the family last left. Leaving meals on the table and everything left leaving a mystery in why this family vanished. The home itself is now a time capsule. Walking through its doors is the closest thing you can do to walking back in time. This home was an amazing explore, if you guys enjoy please leave a thumbs up and subscribe for more explorations ! thanks for watching and reading!

Finding houses that are time capsules like this is the best experience when exploring. Alot of people ask me, what Era of place is your favorite to explore? And my answer usually is mid-century 1950s. This home was small but had it all ! Hopefully you guys enjoyed and I'll see you around for the next vid :)
PLEASE call American pickers. This stuff needs to be preserved!
Thank you guys for another awesome time capsule house.Yall know they're my favorite as I'm still a Collector of 70-90s tabloids and magazines and memorabilia.In fact I'm going to be ordering more stuff for the collection the end of this coming week.My next goal is to decorate my house in furniture from the eras I collect from.Yall stay safe.🐼
5:58 Am I just making stuff up, or do I see two shoe prints on the table next to the moldy fork? It really makes me wonder, what the heck happened here?
Ikr,I was thinking the same thing,...What the heck happened??!!😊
It’s obviously not STAGED! You apparently have never gone into abandoned buildings or homes. Many are unbelievably pristine minus the extreme dust.
I was born in 1951, so most of the things you saw in that home were familiar to me as a child. I had an erector set, I had an electrical set, the Gilbert bottles were from a chemistry set which I also had. I am 70 now, but for a bit I was 10 again.
Thats so cool! Im usually very interested in stuff like this. How did the erector set work?
@@1mariah I was a kit of varioius structural pieces in miniature with a book showing several projects you could make. It didn't take long for me to do all the "book" projects so I started coming up with my own. I combined the erector set and the electrical set to make some original projects.
@@daveedson8607 why would people leave stuff that could be used?
I still have my fathers original erector set.
He was born in 43, I was born in 91. Need I say more?
I was born in 1948. I wish this family had had a daughter. I’d have loved to see her old stuffed toys and dolls (not to stereotype!). And old board games.
It’s so sad that all these beautiful homes are left to fall apart when they could be saved for another family to enjoy
Exactly. And every city has homeless problems. Yet there are loads of abandoned buildings and some buildings that were never occupied all over.
@@klandersen42 its because of greedy owners of those buildings, they would rather make a premium then actually help someone in need of a home.
people are homeless for a reason
asbestos is another that you'd have to worry about before letting anyone move into a house like this those guys have no respect their just touching everything in sight
@Sod White if they didn't let em fall apart they could be lived in
As a paramedic, I've been in a lot of older folks homes. Many of those seemed like time capsules too so it is possible people lived there more recently than the 1950's.
Same here. Couldn’t have said it better!
I bet the reason parts are cleaner than others is because they'd move around only certain areas, there really wouldn't really be a reason to go in your son's old bedroom when you're 90 years old
That TV is 1970's not 1950's.
@@spaceghost8995 I said the same thing
Yeah, I go to a lot of estate sales and it's not uncommon. People get older, mobility declines, and those rooms upstairs or down in the basement get shut away and left to time. Fascinating to those of us who like to explore, but there's a bittersweet sadness too.
This actually made me cry a bit, my elderly folks both died suddenly just over a year ago, and I was tasked with going through their house, the home I grew up in. We moved in there in 1979, it was built in 1953. So many of the things in this video reminded me of that, a lot of the chairs, I had an Erector set as well, lots of models too... It was really hard going through my folks' place, I am their only child and last of the family, so this video really hit home. I miss my parents every day, I am just glad they made a proper will or else the city would have just taken the home, or I would have been required to jump through a bunch of hoops to inherit everything. It could be a similar story here, and perhaps there is a living heir who is currently going through the process of properly claiming the home and property. It appears to me as though someone has been in there a few times trying to sort things out, maybe it just hurts so much they only do it in small stages. That's how it went with me anyway.
You're right on that one, I think it was too hard for someone to finish, maybe they died while it was left only partially finished. That one room with the dishes ready to fall out of the hutch looks like something violent happened in there. It is hard to really know. Look up the address and see who lived there. Then look up Obit. I have a daughter that is a sloth. Not kidding she can find anyone!!! ... she makes us laugh!
I really like this comment. Especially ur little theory at the end.
I’m sorry about you’re parents though, may they rest in peace
Everything the best to you! ❤
This house makes me feel so sad. My dad, who was born in 1950, passed away earlier this year. When I went down to his house to clear things away, he had a room set up just like that "kids" room. People get old and have too much room for what they need and fill it with things that make them feel comfortable and nostalgic.
Some rooms absolutely destroyed, others perfectly preserved with items carefully placed and displayed. Seems odd. If only we could ask the bug on your neck for the truth!
I agree. There’s no dust or build up of dirt on stuff in the tidier rooms. Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to keep parts of the house in good order yet other parts are wrecked. Weird.
😂😂😂😂😂
he said, 'Don't bug me'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm thinking perhaps an elderly couple... so they may have just "lived" in certain parts of the house and not really bothered with others?
if this were truly untouched the dust would be an inch thick, this place has been cleaned and recently. Its also extremely hard to believe that mother nature didnt start taking it as well from the exterior.
exactly . Its cool but not sure it's some discovery by them at that moment. . A bit touched up for camera. I doubt any of these items are still in that home. LOL
i concur with your findings
I was scrolling to find this comment. I also concur with your findings. :)
Not entirely true, most dust is formed by dead human skin. Also the weather/location is a big factor too
there wouldnt be food left on the plare as mice and ants etc would have eaten it
This is the kind of abandoned places where you want to know what happened to the family or people who once lived there and why they just abandoned everything.
Someone old without any family left must have died there..
Yeah, and maybe they felt and knew when their last day was and made their home look nice before they went to the other side.
It reminds me of my aunt and uncle's house she past away about 10 years before him and that is how the house was when he past on. even those book tied up he had her things in boxes or tied in bundles stuff he had no use for but because they were her things he couldn't bring himself to just throw it out i guess. it was odd to that the house sat empty for several years they never had children and had willed the house to family members who die before he did. without a heir the property went to the state and it sat untouched for years just like this house.
Meanwhile I’m sitting here contemplating that The people that lived there were ex Russian spies, and The Soviets sent for them to be returned and killed for their disloyalty. In a panic, not wanting to endanger their kids, they run away leaving their house untouched for years and never come back…..
@@like_amelia_or_somthin280 Rofl! Sounds like a cool book, write it.
The child’s room was chilling for me to watch. There’s only one reason to preserve a child’s room in such pristine condition. This family had a boy who died. If the parents had left the room untouched for a kid who had left home then the room would be full of items more suited for an older teenager. The room was a memorial.
My aunt left her son's room untouched since the moment he died in a car wreck. It looked like he was coming home from school any minute, for 40 years (until she passed away too). The family was shocked speechless that she would let me go in there and play gently, putting everything back exactly the way it was... Then she showed me pictures of her son, and I looked so much like him that I understood why she let me go in there and play... For a few minutes she could pretend her son was there, just playing with the farm set and plastic trucks.
@@beltfed4624 as a mom, on behalf of your aunt; thank you for playing gently and putting it back where you got it. It probably meant a lot to her for you to go in there and play because if I was in her shoes I would be the exact same way. My point is, thank you for being respectful
That was my first thought as well, but there seems to a be a strange disconnect in time periods. The room looked like it could have been a child's room from the 50s or 60s, and the family photos seemed to bare that out. However, at least two of the books on the book shelf date to the mid-late 80s. And what kid is interested in psychology?
It could be that they didn't even have any children, I know someone who collects old toy's?
@@beltfed4624OH MY HEART!!!! 😩
That kids room looks like the parents lost their child as a child and refused to change or let others change the room around hence why it is such old stuff. They probably lived on for a few more decades grieving
The story of this house is interesting. The prior owners were a nuclear family, with the husband employed probably as a firefighter engineer. He enjoyed working with his hands, particularly in the building of models, something which continued to the day he died. The small jars you found on the windowsill were full of model paint, as well as butyrate dope, which is a waterprooofing chemical used on model planes and ships. The dope was probably used on the battleships you saw on the stove. He tried to pass this love of building on to his sons, as seen in the erector sets.
His wife was apparently a homemaker, as evidenced by the feminine touches of wallpaper and the sewing machine. They were members of the Literary Guild, which supplies low-cost books to its members. This is why virtually all of the hard covers were of the same size--a Guild trademark. Judging by the amount of mess left behind, and the lack of any female clothing, the wife apparently predeceased her husband. He left the home decorated in her style, not having the heart to change anything, hence the older look, despite the fact that the husband lived well into the 2000s.
The two silhouettes indicate the couple had two sons. One of them was especially enamored of the army, judging by the model tanks and soldiers. Although he apparently got to high school or pre-college, his room was never updated, and all the souvenirs of his childhood were lovingly preserved. This tells me he died young. If he joined the army, the boy probably died in Vietnam.
The remaining son apparently married and had a large family. The large box in the house partially filled with family photos left behind indicates an extended family of more than 20 people.
The homeowner probably died while on a trip, which is why there's no vehicle there. He apparently lived very cheaply. A few of the drawers have been opened, and stuff strewn around by casual looters, but there's nothing worth stealing.
Very nice analysis, ICU and probably very accurate to the situation.
@@imanacer Thanks! I enjoy reading and reconstructions situational tableaux.
But the table set for a meal?
@@evelynsaungikar3553 I lived alone for years and would frequently set a place for myself. It saved on the setup time.
it is really sad seeing some of the things in that house unused, like the typewriter or the sewing machine, and even that very well preserved RCA Victor 45 rpm record player. I hope one day somebody takes them before the decay or are destroyed when the house falls apart.
Abandoned central did a video of this house like a month or two ago and things were different in it. Comparing even just the thumbnails, the room is the same but the blanket is different and the toys are arranged differently. There was no food on the table in his video either. Sometimes I think people set up scenes in these places to make it seem more creepy. Or someone's living there lol
I just saw that video too..the plates on the table are spotless in that video. I noticed quite a few differences as well. Lots of staging for sure.
@@caveninit I just watched the other video - I'm starting to believe that these abandoned videos are beginning to be staged - never the less - still interesting to watch
bingo you know fakery
@@prudentilla nobody from the 50's or 60's would have put a pillow without a pillow case nicely on the bed like it was in the video - only a guy of today would do something like that - dead giveaway
I would live there.
I’m genuinely curious how a property goes untouched for so long. If the house is abandoned wouldn’t the city/town take possession for unpaid taxes if no next of kin takes responsibility?
@James Sturm yep
Me too I don’t understand this neither 🤔
@@lakeshiamcgee3385 plus I'm thinking squatters or varmin would take over. Just doesn't make sense
families tend to own the property. a lot of these ppl are breaking and entering doesnt matter if it hasnt been touched lol
@@annmargaret1069 Not entirely true. Taxes will continue to acru on the property wether it's paid off or not. If someone wants to buy a home that's been vacant for some time they're expected to pay back all of the taxes the homes accrued regardless of wether it was occupied or not. Effectively making it so that control over the home defaults back to the state. And your add won't get a legal deed to it unless you pay them their back taxes. Very few places have laws or initiatives to stop states or even county's in some cases from repossessing homes by default for unpaid taxes. Even if they don't own the deed as an entity they will stop anyone else from picking it up. Until you put the money in their hands.
I love how respectful you are while investigating different places and items. You also have an appreciation for things that were once cared about but mysteriously left behind. Thank you for doing these vids, they are utterly fascinating. 💙
The calendar from 2007 makes me think this was during the downfall & the home went into foreclosure and the bank owns it. Residents had to leave quickly on the last day of foreclosure. You can ask a realtor friend to pull a property profile on the address to see who owns it.
“Pip” is Picture in Picture, where you could simultaneously watch 2 things at once. Those ”chemicals” on the window sill are model paints, enamels used on the many models you can see throughout the home.
I, too, recognized them as paint for models. I loved the AMC model kits when I was a kid in the 50's. Hated the glue, tho, as it never held really well and was sooo frustrating.
This leads me to believe that the home was occupied at least until the late 1980s. I find the 2007 calendars to be a bit peculiar.
I miss pip lol
It’s also my friend’s name.
I’ve seen homes like this before where the wife has died first and the husband left behind. I grew up in the funeral business. If you found my house abandoned it would be in order with dozens and dozens of things from every decade I’ve either collected or were my parents and grandparents. No big mystery. 🤷🏻♀️
Yes but why leave it antique shops would love it
To resell
The food left on the plates is an indication that something happened very suddenly, and the family wasn't even allowed to finish its meal. Dishes unwashed in the sink -- obviously, nobody was able to get around to washing them. I still suspect foul play.
@@jrnfw4060 I don't know. A strong enough fart at the breakfast table in the morning would have had me abandoning the house and getting as far away as my feet could carry me. Maybe they're just still running, and will be back when they think it's safe enough to return. Toot toot!
My grandma's old house was sold as recently as 2021, she had lived in it since it was a new build in the late 1960s and had only recently moved out prior to her death in 2019. If you'd had a look around the property on one of the rare occasions it was empty and you'd find an almost unnerving hybrid of modern electrical equipment downstairs and barely altered vintage kid's bedrooms upstairs, with 60's decor and forgotten toys, with many artifacts even older. The kitchen too, a new fridge, cooker and kettle, but the same 1960s era coffee and food tubs being rinsed and reused forevermore.
10:38 they even left their typewriter
the smiths
The small record player you mentioned plays 7" , 45rpm records. You handled some of them at 8.50. Great video !
One time we were in an old barn and a little girl picked one of those up and says , Look at this funny CD
You should find an older person to travel with you who would be able to add descriptions of the artifacts in the homes. Very interesting ideas-what you do. You should consider a mask and rubber gloves. 🙏
That's what I said, about the older person, not the mask, didn't think of that. 😊
Artifacts..
“Artifacts” haha….. this is just thrift shop stuff.
@@wickedlee664 🤔🤔..🙄
@@wickedlee664 oh you too funny. You won't find most of that in a thrift store.
I LOVE how respectful you add to their belongings. You're a great young man!!
THAT was SINCERELY one of the most jaw-dropping experiences. I literally gasped as each new area revealed item after item and they kept triggering my memories as a child. My mouth was hanging open, my eyes could not have been bigger and I felt an intense happiness so strongly that I was getting goose bumps. Thank you so much for sharing that trip back in time!! Wow...just wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how much he appreciated it and didn’t steal anything out everything back where it is I feel like I can really trust him with pieces like this we need more explorers like him.
I just wish they did not show the outside of the house because now I worry about people going there and stealing and breaking things inside the house that has sadly happen before.
He could do this
@@SirDinielFortesque why not? These things are free, nobody is using this
It would be difficult not to pilfer things from places like this, especially when some of it is valuable, such as the Franciscan Ware in the kitchen (some pieces are worth a fortune these days), the old erector sets, and the sewing machine). However, it just seems like it would bring bad juju to take anything from these abandoned homes; they are like shrines to the families who lived in them.
@@SirDinielFortesque Why are you worried ?
I love old places, and stuff like this. So it's a great find. The only thing I'm wondering about is how is there not more dust or cobwebs in the house? Logically it seems that it's because it was lived in more recently than we'd think, but if that's the case why is there so much stuff still left straight out of the 1950s? A real head scratcher for sure.
Seems like an old couple lived here, and left their sons rooms as they were when the sons moved out. The leftover food on the plates indicate that ONE of the parents that was left died before they finished eating. Since nobody came and cleaned up or took care of the house, seems the sons are deceased or were not in contact. I did not see any items newer than the 1980's in the house. They probably didnt have many visitors. -Monk
@@ksavage681 There was a calendar from 2007 at one point in the video, and it looked like another from 2008 was under a few plates. That's a good theory though.
That tv is definitely early 80’s
Def a real head scratcher….haha… there was a sale at the local thrift barn. Somebody cleaned up ;)
The tv in the living room is from the 1990’s
With the general condition of the house, I'm assuming its only been abandoned since the late 2010's. Looks like 3 kids grew up there from the 1950's-1970's. It's possible the kids bedroom hadn't really been touched or altered in any way in over 40 years.
I agree like the q950s to 70s
He found a 2007 calendar. Family of 4 or 5, kids grow up and move away, parents keep their rooms pretty much the same for years, wife dies first, then husband around 2007. Mystery solved.
Someone just walked out of that house and never came back
or were carried out.
There is very little decay on that property. People don't normally keep random items all over their kitchen. Someone's been in here and someone's been packing up stuff to remove. You can even tell the rings on top of the counter of the calendar from where items used to be. Definitely more to the story about this house.
its all lies by the OP to get clicks. theres no dust.
Exactly...no dust? No yellowing of pages in the book? No decay ?
If the house had power and no leaks it might not decay
I’m sure it’s not a Bandan, the family is probably at the grocery store, and the guys are home invaders.
@@whateverheather655 if the house had power and no leaks, it’s not abandoned.
Man, I can't go a WEEK without having to clear out thick dust from EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY of my home. Whatever their secret, I'd LOVE to have a house that could go SEVENTY YEARS without a good dusting, and still look as good as this one did! ❤❤
The panaview automatic is a slide viewer. I used to look at all my family photos with my Grandmother on exactly that model.
The record player was for 45rpm records! I still have one! I grew up in the 50’s! This house is reminiscent of my childhood home. I also still have many of my grandmothers furniture! I am almost 70. Those erector sets had motors and everything. No plastic. Great find!
awesome find
It was in the 70 when we had those toys
I remember my brother having the erector sets and chemistry sets I had a 45 record player then a 33 lp player
that record player looks in really good condition, I really love the design and functionality of RCA's 45 changers from the 40s and 50s. back then in America things were built right, even by big brands like RCA. because even today a lot of them still just work without a component replaced, though a lot are due for a good recapping.
How can you not felt it or even your mate point it out there's giant frickin' bug on your neck?!
I think it is a mole or skin tag
@@carolynuschock9028 It not, even he said it at the bottom of the screen at 1:10 😀
It's the latest fashion trend, one of the reasons why nose rings and tongue studs have been losing their popularity.
@@Davilow hahahaha !!!!
I, can't understand why he didn't get out of his neck that giant bug It was scary and grows .
I was born in 1954. Being walked through this home brought back so many memories. Thank you!
I'm old enough for this to be a memory lane experience. I grew up during the 1960s and seventies. My brothers loved to build model planes, and they would use testors paint in colorful little bottles, to put on the finishing touches. Sometimes they would build in little battery powered lights into these models. My father gave everyone, including me, a Radio Shack Electronic Project Kit. This allowed us to make all kinds of stuff by attaching wires to the different electrical components in the kit. The kit that you found in that house, looked like an early version of the Radio Shack kit. I used to have a sewing machine, I made pillows, stuffed animals, clothing, all kinds of things. My grandmother made many quilts.
I grew up with a black and white TV that only received a few stations. As a child, my TV time was Saturday morning, when there were cartoons from 6AM until noon. After that, the boring adult shows came on. On Sunday, there wasn't much besides church services and football. So, kids needed hobbies and games to pass the time. This boredom was good because it forced people to be more creative, or to go out of their house to find something to do. Obesity was rare even though there was plenty of junk food around. This was because people would go out biking, dancing, roller skating, or what have you, more often.
Have you tried to find out the public back ground from the courts, like titles etc on these places. Finding out what happened could be just as interesting.
Those Erector Sets are valuable to collectors. I had similar sets when I was young. I'm 65 now.
Lego blocks took over the market I am 62 Erectors set were losing ground when I was kid to Lincoln logs , the girder sets and American Brick The kids had more fun with snap together stuff. I do remember some older kids being enthusiasts about erector sets. They were good for Lionel bridges
They’re crazy not to take as much as they can, because when city Government sees this they’re going in taking what they can then demolish.
I had a Snowflakes set. They were plastic pieces in colors that looked somewhat like snowflakes and you attached them together to build things.
Being a kid growing up in the 2000s. A lot of elderly people tended to preserve their homes like this one. So it’s not surprising that in 2007 things were kept old fashioned still.
It sure doesn’t look like a SMALL house to me!! It’s HUGE!!
But it’s not apparently abandoned from the 1950s, because you found a Calendar from 2007 so people were there in 2007, that would be correct right?
That's so cool that you guys managed to find this! It's not everyday that I see abandoned home videos with well-preserved items from the 50s inside. :)
🤔
@pinnedby Dark ExpIoration Filmsstop spamming people's comments! And stop pretending to be the creator of this channel - we know you're a fake! 😡
Being born in 61 I know what all that stuff is. Memories of my childhood. Erector sets? Awesome. That "camera looking thing" is a slide projector. We had slides made of all our pictures. Great video.
Being Born in 1974 I even recognize a lot of stuff in this house. Even, though a lot of it is staged!
Slide viewer...not a projector.
Looks like a child was living with the grand parents and something happened with them, either passed away or taken to a elderly home in a hurry. Also a possibility the kid often stayed there in the weekends or as a daycare and stopped coming over and the room was left as it was by the grand parents and then passed away or moved out.
There were some lovely people living here though, so many guest beds, an entire kids room, all these toys and build sets.
Do you ever find the story behind why these places are left with everything behind?
I was born in 1960, and I recognized all of these toys. My brother had them. This is so sad. 😔
My guess is that an elderly couple lived and died here, which would explain everything left as it was.
I would have loved to go through that scrapbook on the floor of the kid's room. That bedspread was hand crochet with granny squares. Very popular in the 60s!
This is my type of home, simply decorated and cozy. I never needed fancy.
Me too
Very interesting! The toaster in the kitchen next to the coffee maker is one of the oldest electric toasters ever made. Probably 1920s or 30s. The record player is for 45's, the smallest records made to sell single songs vs albums. The toy you thought was a camera is a type of viewmaster- a steroscope. Great house! Thank you for posting!
This reminds me of my grandparents farm house that was left untouched after my grandma passed away. The property is still owned by my uncles and they are in no hurry to clean it out or sell. So I feel like possessions and photos are most likely still someone’s inheritance and a family member will be back one day when they feel ready.
This house was abandoned some time with power that went out and came on or turned that TV on at some point. That TV looks like a GE or Magnavox. The line down the middle of the picture tube suggests it got turned on then lost vertical deflection then proceeded to be left on long enough to burn a line into the picture tube. It may have even been on longer then failed, then burned in the line.
Aside from the observation that things have been changed since a walk-through 2 years ago, it looks like something I saw about a house in France, where parents that had lost a son during WW1 kept his room as a memorial to him, and the man that bought the property was charged with keeping the room as it was. He was concerned, as he himself had grown old, and thought it should be made public after being closed off for over 100 years. I thought the same after seeing how the child's room looked like a shrine until it was said things had been moved. But had they been cleaned and tidied, or were items there just placed differently? It would appear the child did grow up, as his reading material was rather sophisticated for a young man,. I would guess an elderly couple, having lost a son for some reason, either due to early death or estrangement, kept the son's things to remember him by. As they grew older, they began to abandon some of the upstairs rooms and gravitate towards the most used sections of the house, the living room, and the kitchen. It would seem it had been lived as of 2007; I would guess the remaining member was hospitalized and never came back, and that would account for the look of it being abandoned as if a family just walked out the door and disappeared. In a sense, they did, but gradually. Sad.
I'm pleased to see u respected people's privacy! When a couple over here in the UK added our old house to their U Tube channel they didn't do their home work as to whether the house was truly abandoned (scaffolding around the roof wasn't an indication it seems!!) & they shared EVERYTHING they found on their U Tube channel...old passports.. certificate's..photos of everybody's name on them EVERYTHING!! Local thieves recognised our isolated house & came down & stole a load of stuff!! They in turn took pictures & put it all on Facebook & than every Tom Dick & Harry came down to look around & take stuff!! We had been stuck aboard due to covid & very upset family members had to go down & see to things (identity fraud being a big worry) we ended up selling our house due to all this. So just keep this story in mind & make sure u do ur homework yeah.
Holy shit how does this not have more comments
@@MizTheDonGargon idk. I feel only early TH-camrs would make such a rookie mistake as this. If there’s scaffolding around the roof, I’d say 9 out of 10 people would get the message and leave or at least be aware of the possibility that the roof could fall on their head. Usually that’s a good indication that this place probably isn’t worth risking your life exploring. I wonder what their channel is called so I can let them have it.
I love watching “abandoned anything” on TH-cam. I’ve seen all of the urban explorer channels. They are all awesome but this particular explore is the absolute best I’ve seen.
6:20 The appliance on the right is a toaster - of a type so old you didn't recognize it as such. Doors flip down on each side for slices of bread --- but it only heated up in the center so when one side was done you had to remember to flip them over to toast the other side.
"None of this is staged"
I call bs. No dust, no moisture damage, no nothing.
Superset was a Sylvania line of television sets and PIP was Picture in Picture where there were two tuners to have two channels on the screen at once. The dark line burned into the screen indicates the television has no vertical deflection and was operated with a bright vertical line in the center of the screen long enough to ruin the picture tube.
Interesting...We use to have a line across the top of our tv too...
This was a really great find. I always love it when there’s so much left behind. It’s sad but it’s interesting to see all of the things that are left behind. That bug on your neck got a full course meal. I can’t believe it stayed on your neck the whole freaking time haha thanks again for a great explore. I really enjoy your videos.
Who sees the old man 1:57 sitting in the chair??? 😱
What’s missing in this “unstaged home” is the dust covering everything
Not just that but a 2007 calendar but food from the 50’s still sitting on the table? 😂
I suspect an elderly person lived here. Had a medical emergency. Maybe in the middle of a meal. Never returned. Perhaps a child or other family member, who now may be senior themselves, of theirs returned to look around. Picked a few things out and left the rest. Given the boats by the sink. Maybe the owner or son was an engineer and/or volunteer firefighter. Wonder what tax records say.
The family’s laid everything out so they could walk through and decide who gets what. They left some very cool stuff
How the hell did the roof not need replacing or have a leak over the period of 60-70 years?
It looks like it was abandoned in 2007
@@greywebs1944 yeah, I was watching and saw the calendar after I made the comment. That makes more sense even though the place was still a time capsule interior decoration wise.
@@greywebs1944 I like when older people keep the wallpaper they had up back in the day.
Houses were built better back in the day.
It is falling in, you can see in several places.
12:52 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' a play written by William Shakespeare 1654-1616. Possibly studied in high school, grade 9 or 10. A timeless classic, Shakespeare is always in style
This is why I like exploring elderly people's homes. A lot of the times they keep old stuff from their past.
1950s or not, that living room TV is circa late 80s/early 90s. I agree with some other commentators, much of this house looks staged.
11:30 that’s how typewriters are usually transported or portable in those days- they are kept in suitcase looking. containers. My cousin had an electric typewriter like that used during 70s.
As you walk through that house, I can almost smell the smell of an old house. I’d love antique furniture, and the typewriter is amazing, and so is the sowing machine. I’ve never seen one in that shape or color. I don’t think someone lived in that home up until 2007. Maybe someone was squatting and left the calendar. Everything is just so old and left untouched.
Not very dusty for being abandoned. 🤔
Seems fake. Too clean for a house well over 50 years old. This place has been cleaned beforehand. Mice and vermin would have eaten through those curtains and furniture and the place would be covered in mold. Cute house though.
Loved this house!! Was a true step back to the 50s. Loved the war models and the building kits. Thanks guys! X
That’s a mystery, leaving the house like that, we will never know what happened, GOOD stuff, as usual, happy trails
If those walls could talk… I love seeing this, reminds me of me visiting my grandma at her house growing up.. miss those days..
Thank you for preserving their privacy. So many people that do this will film anything and it’s never sat right with me.
It would be nice if research could be done to see why these houses are abandoned
respect for the dignity of leaving the stuffs in their own places. most of these vintage items could be worth $$$
Yeah soon or later someone find it
Start taking it sell on online
And what does it matter if someone does? It's just gonna collect dust anyway. You people are fucking weird.
Great find! Its so sad things were left behind. 😔 The house is awesome. Love the vintage stuff. ❤🏠🏚😊
These old farm houses always have wonderful wallpaper. It makes today's interior design seem bland by comparison.
Those cast iron toys are insanely valuable, espescially the Army toys.👍
These people were likely elderly and collected things form their favorite era, likely even keeping things that belonged to their kids, probably long raised and living elsewhere. They probably lived long into their elderly years, I spotted a 1978-1981 style Mr Coffee. It seems clear the elderly couple passed into a phase that I have seen in my own family (sadly): kids for whatever reason are not in their lives closely. Then usually one spouse goes into nursing or memory care, or passed on. The the same happens for the other spouse some time after. And with no relatives or Will, and a home potentially paid-ahead on taxes for sometime….eventually just sits long enough that the city / county cannot do much so they condemn it, pending locating next-of-kin. This kind of sad time capsule situation seems to happen far too often in rural areas. A small family and the wrong timing of multiple tragic events is all that is needed. And it’s sad for viewers, because….no matter how dated some things may be (which might place this abandonment in the 80s) you have to just acknowledge that this was someone’s home. A couple’s life, then a single widow or widower’s life…and then it’s all gone. You can’t take it with you. RIP to the original family matriarch and patriarch and others who inhabited this and houses like it.
Great video! My family home was built in 1954 and when we first moved in 22 years ago it looked a lot like this I remember even though I was just a child, definitely nostalgic to watch this. Wish we could have kept some of the vintage charm but now its been completely remodeled.
One of the best abandoned finds you've showcased! This is crazy how it's still just sitting there. I can't believe no one ever ransacked the place just because they could - vandals and whatnot. Creepy and very cool! Great video man!
The way things are set out and the books are tied up to me indicates that they did a sale in the house.
@1:08 What in the ham n cheese sandwich is on your freakin neck bro? 😳
This cannot be how the house was left. WHERE IS THE DUST that should be covering this stuff even after a few months. This is not believable at all. You can see grime and crud on walls and cabinets but many of the artifacts and surfaces they sit on are dust free. Record player, rocks, and surface they are sitting on at about 11 min 45 seconds are dust free. In other rooms, stuff is just thrown into a pile in the corner. Staging has taken place, whether by these guys or someone before them.
I tell my loved ones to not just watch you guys but to hit the subscribe button cause you guys are such a nice group if young men who are very respectful when exploring,unlike some channels I used to watch n I'll leave it at that.
Love the kitchen! The corner shelves near the window above the sink, metal cabinets and Formica counters so vintage
😑 Ugh i have metal cabinet from the 50s still. I want to get them repurposed and all. They are a pain to keep clean and they have some rust spots.
@@face2158 oh I thought they would clean easy.
The part that I find is crazy is the fact that there is no dust on anything so either these people had the worlds best air filters in their home or it’s staged,
seems odd to say the least,, all this old stuff, but hey look a calendar from 2007... Also the lack of dirt, dust, cobwebs.. seems kinda weird,, I won't say staged, but clearly not as abandoned as the video claims..
@@barryarnold6827 Right. To see the calendar under a stack of bowls 😶... but doesn't bother to read handwritten notes from inside the other cabinet. Strategically placed "chemicals" with the labels facing him... They probably had sheets over most of it and these guys came and staged the rest
Maybe not a lot of dust, but there evidence of minor black mold all over the house.
You think some homeless hobos would just sleep outside instead of hanging out in there?
The Record player was for the small 45's. Later generation record players used a plastic swirl type adapter to locate the hole over the center pin. This one had the wide pole for the early style 45's . Tiime marker 14:46-14:53 stack of old 45 records.
Looking at the evidence, my guess is that the parents died (older couple) and the (grownup) kids started packing up to move things, maybe one of them lived in the house briefly, but started pulling together things to move, bound the books, gathered together the toys to take-- put the army toys on the bed, the erector sets on the table, and started going through the other stuff and creating a pile for what they didn't want.... and then something happened to interrupt that process.
Man, a Lorne Greene of 'Bonanza' fame record - that *is* old!
I also dig those construction kits. I got an electronics kit from my parents at around age 8-10 in the late '80s and really loved building all kinds of cool circuitry with it. Of course, these kind of toys arent that popular with kids of that age these days, but I think that also comes down to parents exposing their children to such things early enough to spark interest in something else other than just a smartphone and everything that comes with it.
They made the nuclear set with real radio active elements
This is so puzzling to me. Why would a family leave everything behind?? The kids room was so strange, like he just disappeared. The dining room, with the plates and the food still on them. So strange. I think this would have been a nice, cozy little home. Thanks guys.
Well, if an old person loses contact with his kids/grandkids for some reason, this is what could happen.
Let's say he died alone around 2008 after having 20 years without any contact with any relatives.
Then there'll be no one to clean out the house.
Great video. That Physical Geology book is at 15:12 is from 1958 and is still a great book today! (Studied geo and have an old copy)
The house dates back well before the 50's, the contents reflect the 1960's, TV, toys, are 60's. It a very standard era Home. Model cars are 59's and 60's.
The coffee maker is a late 70's early 80's.
You didn't break the handle, it slipped out.
Be careful I knew that typewriter was headed out if you flipped the buckle.
The records are 45's.
8:11 there is a faint sound. Sounds like a woman or can be the wood.
What a great find, love this little house, so neat and tidy, some really nice finds too, well done for finding it, love the era 1950's they had some cool stuff in that time. Thank you for sharing, sending love from the UK.
👋🏻😊🇺🇲
how do you guys get into these places it's unreal seeing whats inside this house. i am interested in the scale models which i built as a kid and i still do as a 78 year old. would love to have those army toys and the models. what happened to the famaily that lived here ?
11:35 We had 45's (small records)...33's (LP's/albums)...and 78's (vintage celluloid records from the early 1900's). RPM stood for "Rotations Per Minute." The center cylindrical piece is removable for 33's and 78's to be played, too.
I wonder if the present owners know someone has broken into their house and is pawing through their stuff.
Late to this vid. I work in home health specifically with aging and disabled adults. Honestly, this looks like the home of an elderly couple that likely expired and left the house abandoned in the last 15 years. It’s not uncommon for aging adult homes to maintain an older interior (from the time they were young and actively earning an income). Still beautiful. Still historic. Still should be highly respected. Love this content! ♥️
