The place where the childrens toys and craft stuff was is said to be the most haunted part, also. I still cant believe its already been almost 4 years since it was shut down. I can still reamember going here everyday, to get my grandmas friend from work lol
Lost both of our Kmarts. One closed in 2012 and the other due to lease not being renewed in 2013. Both are not abandoned. The 2012 closure turned into an airforce store while the 2013 one turned into a Hobby Lobby.
Those bathrooms are creepy and the backroom is more creepy at night for sure when there is no light makes it even more creepy and do you get a feeling that something will jump out at you ?
Good video! I am surprised that the lights are still on, after this Kmart has been closed! That alarm going off is creepy! And your by yourself too! Nothing worse then running into cobwebs!
@@cherilynnsorensen668 I use to live there and everyone that I knew that worked there and people who grew up in Parkersburg all say it was highly haunted.
@@KiltedVeteran Wish I could go visit there I'm all the way in the sandiego area they may have demolished it or sold it to another business would be cool if it was still there
The good ol' haunted Kmart. I've met a few people that I went to college with at WVUP who worked there and told me some crazy stories about that place.
@Inability1 I must first preface that these are just stories I have heard secondhand from friends and fellow college acquaintances. I have not personally experienced any of these so I cannot validate the truthfulness in said stories. That being said, I have heard stories from several former employees experiencing strange goings on, especially while closing down the store for the night. They have talked about witnessing things randomly flying off the shelf or items being moved around. One of the folks I graduated college with said that they would put clothes or whatever on the shelves. They would leave the area briefly, come back, and find said clothes folded and stacked laying in the middle of the aisle. I e also hears from a couple of people that someone, ir something occasionally came over the PA system and spoke in a whisper-like voice. Many have also experience sounds of children laughing and playing after the store has closed for the night.
Camp Counselor: "You wanna hear a scary story about Kmart, kids?" Kids: "O-okay..." Camp Counselor: "Once upon a time, a Kmart closed down not far from here,and for years, nobody thought there was anything inside. Word got round by the locals that the place was haunted. So one night, an anonymous guy with a camera decided to see what was inside of this supposed haunted Kmart. His video camera was found discarded inside the Kmart by those who owned and occasionally inspected the property. When they were able to boot up what the guy had filmed inside, the property owners were aghast! The footage showed the guy creeping through dilapidated back rooms and offices, only ever finding mold and discarded paper work. Eventually, the guy carefully crept his way out onto the main floor where all the shelves used to be. When the camera turned, an audible gasp could be heard by the guy. There, still standing, was the Electronics Section. It hadn't been taken down. With trepidation, the guy crept toward the Electronic Section. As he inched closer and closer, the man stopped. The Inspectors claim they heard him muttering on film, "No. ... No-no. No, it can't be. It mustn't. Why?! Of all things, why?" The man's voice began to climb in alarm. Suddenly, he let out a blood-curdingly scream at what he saw still on the shelves." Kids: .... "Wh-what... what did he find?" Camp Counselor: "... You really want to know?" Kids: "... Yeah." Counselor: "You SURE you want to know?" Kids: "Y-yes. Yes! What was it?" Camp Counselor: "... It wasn't electronics." Kids: "....." Camp Counselor: "... IT WAS NOTHING BUT UFC WORKOUT DVDS!!!!" Kids: "AAAAAAAAAAaaUUUUuUuuUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
That alarm is malfunctioning. Not too shocked but kind of annoying. I would have been soo tempted to break it just to shut it up to be honest.. Though I would never actually do it.
Doesn’t sound like it’s malfunctioning sounds like it’s ready to be armed, just beep like that from the factory, it’s like that in most stores but the sound of life usually blocks it out Lolx
At 8: 52 you film electronics on a shelf. I believe that is the system that kmart had in place to play music and power a giant blue light that the stores had put up in the early 2000's. Stores had a giant circular blue light that hung from the ceiling that flashed and a song was piped through the system when you turned it on. That program didn't last very long. Anyone remember that?
Awesome video. Unbelievable there's still power. However I would recommend going with 1-2 other people. You never know if there's gonna be some squatters or crackheads or some other sh!t. Stay safe.
I'm a security guard, so all I do is hang out in empty buildings. Sometimes I think about who used to be in these buildings and what they did. I've always wanted to go exploring abandoned buildings. It would be loads of fun.
I’m not going to lie but that back room is so creepy and the sound of the light buzzing makes it even more creepier who expected jump scare comment me if any of you did o sure did
Being one of the few people who live within walking distance of this place, and given that my grandmother worked there her until it closed, I found this very interesting
I remember getting my picture tooken for Christmas when I was a little kid. I never was aware that it was "haunted" at all. Infact it was the most lively place in town on southside. I remember going up to that same exact pharmacy and me and my grandpa getting his meds.
You should have went to the old warrwn county middle or high when in was still run down and abandoned and before they turned it into the skyline middle school
I was reading up on the one in San Jose California where I grew up as I know it's been closed for years! The plan was to gut the interior and make it a multi store facility. The big structure is still on Google maps! I've never actually been to a Kmart as that one was way across town for my family to bother! I have been to every other similar kind of discount retailer with the exception of Walmart because I just don't want to give them my patronage! Haha!
that little window with the louvers was the cash cage, you would knock on that window on Friday to get your check paid in cash all $10 bills. LOL i think they wanted you to spend some of it before you left.
The closest Kmart I lived was the one in Algona which is one of the last Kmarts in Iowa. That Kmart closed on 2/16/20 so this comment was posted four months after that Kmart closed.
Poor K-Mart has gone out, ever since Sears were going down it pulled all its other stores down with it. 1990’s-2000’s was love to grow up in K-Mart and Sears! I remember some K-Marts even having a Little Caesers Pizza in the inside.
They keep the ventilation system on as well as the heating system,it seems.Will they open other stores in that building in the near future.Why aren't these stores just torn down.There were other areas filmed previously such as malls in worse shape than this,yet not torn down.Aren't there any laws that would force them to tear down abandoned malls.
I wish I could have given LC pizzas to the crew who got laid off, but had to come back the next morning to “gut” the store. Their story is somewhere ova tha hedge fund.
When did Kmart run out of business I know it's been a while since I heard about Kmart but how did it went out of business And pretty much this Kmart store looks abandoned and decommissioned how does the doors are still opening It is still decommissioned
I live about 60 Miles from here but never went to this kmart Parker it's in Parkersburg this should have closed Before 2017 Like during the 2002 2003 Bankruptcy it was close to Marietta Ohio Location, Vienna Wv, And this location was like 10 Mins to the Vienna One, There was alot within 1 Hour and 30 Mins, It was close to the Zanesville Location, Clarksburg Location, Alot locations,
Soooooo Creepy Nothing Is Worse Than A Empty Kmart With Lights All Be A few Shut Off and The Red Exit Signs Glowing The Dark & The Disarm Warning of The Security System Beeping As Well Creeeepy
I used to shop there..I saw a little boy many times..And then a little blue ball rolled too my feet from under the Shoes ..And I was literally the last shopper way in the back..Then I saw a women..All spirts..
Here are all the remaining non closing Kmart and Sears locations: Kmarts: 1 Key West, Florida; 2 Miami, Florida; 3 Hamilton, Montana; 4 Avenel, New Jersey; 5 Westwood, New Jersey; 6 Bridgehampton, New York; 7 Tauming, Guam; 8 Hato Rey, Puerto Rico; 9 Sunshine Mall in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; 10 Sunny Isle Shopping Center in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; 11 Tutu Park Mall in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; 12 Lockhart Gardens Shopping Center in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands Sears: 1 Burbank, California; 2 Concord, California; 3 Stockton, California; 4 Whittier, California; 5 Ft.

for people asking about why theres power on and why they dont tear these stores down and why hvac is on. proprety management companies try and sell these buildings and some do bare minimum to keep buildings in shape such as turning off the power turning off hvac letting it decay but others do what this company is doing such as keeping the power on hvac on and maintaining it some companies will even arm the alarms and turn the exterior lighting on

You can hear the ghosts of the little old ladies saying run run we don't want to mess the blue light special.
There is also a ghostly smell of Popcorn and Pizza...
@@Rogervista100 OMG YES I remember being in the store and I said why does it smell it someone is making popcorn to my mom and she said idk
Time stamp?
Real
As of June 2020, there are only 44 Kmarts left in all of the world. Which means if you live near one, you live near a treasure.
one by me closed like 5 years ago
I agree
I had two one closed in 2003 and the another one in 2017 yeah find a Kmart is like finding a treasure
The Kmart where I live burned down almost 4 years ago, but if it hadn't it would probably still be open today
As of March 2021, There is ONLY 34 K-MARTS IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
Dang you went in there alone. That's bravery right there
Not no intercom security system
Yes, it looked like a scary building.
I would die from fear
@@JrothProductions I wouldn’t
and at night too
The place where the childrens toys and craft stuff was is said to be the most haunted part, also. I still cant believe its already been almost 4 years since it was shut down. I can still reamember going here everyday, to get my grandmas friend from work lol

that alarm must have a section fault if it was "Silence" it would not be gougn off
Command 4 does the trick on these Radionics/Bosch panels
Good video! I am surprised that the lights are still on, after this Kmart has been closed! That alarm going off is creepy! And your by yourself too! Nothing worse then running into cobwebs!
That alarm wasn't really an alarm. It's one of the buzzers that go off when a door is open. So in this case a door must have been hanging open
That alarm was the creepiest part of the whole video! Btw, why is there still power?
In case people try to break in
The red white and yellow walls without windows make it more frightening that the fact that he's alone
You never know...
Squatters' paradise.
Sometimes they just never stop receiving power, I find it quite weird
This Kmart opened in March 1975 and closed in March 2017 which means it's been abandoned for almost 3 years
@AldousHuxley's Ghost was it actually haunted
@AldousHuxley's Ghost i sure do miss kmart was one of my favorite shopping place
@@cherilynnsorensen668 I use to live there and everyone that I knew that worked there and people who grew up in Parkersburg all say it was highly haunted.

Probably one of my favorite abandoned Kmart videos out there.
I think I saw Dan Bell in the darkness.
One of the best abandoned kmart videos I've ever seen. Super errie
Nice video! But could you please leave the captions up longer for is slow readers? Nice work!
If you are talking about the messages every few minutes, I pause it to read it
I also had to pause to read
How is there still power and water in that abandoned Kmart? And that Alarm going off through the intercom is really creepy!
That alarm is malfunctioning. Not too shocked but kind of annoying. I would have been soo tempted to break it just to shut it up to be honest.. Though I would never actually do it.
Doesn’t sound like it’s malfunctioning sounds like it’s ready to be armed, just beep like that from the factory, it’s like that in most stores but the sound of life usually blocks it out Lolx
This looks like this could be the perfect location to film a horror movie. It has all the elements it's dark, creepy, empty and abandoned.
Adds to the affect
At 8: 52 you film electronics on a shelf. I believe that is the system that kmart had in place to play music and power a giant blue light that the stores had put up in the early 2000's.

Blue light special lol when I lil in the 70-80s my gram would run over lol!
Yes it is
Tape player? it looks like a tape player
normallly after like 30 seconds those alarms suppose go physco get real loud
Awesome video. Unbelievable there's still power. However I would recommend going with 1-2 other people. You never know if there's gonna be some squatters or crackheads or some other sh!t. Stay safe.
For real I was at an abandoned pizza place and some crackheads jumped out
@@JrothProductionsidk if you would respond because your comment was from a year ago but- what’s a crack head?

Nice to see inside a former Kmart after being closed for some time.
It ain't K-Dark yet , but definitely K-Dim.

That's weird they leave the electric on in there. Because it looked like that Kmart has been gone a very long time.
Phillip Wright
This Kmart closed early part of 2017
My econofoods has been gone for 12 years and the powers barley running
They leave the electricity on in the buildings to prevent vandalism and copper wire looters.
You should have went to the old warrwn county middle or high when in was still run down and abandoned and before they turned it into the skyline middle school
This kmart is super creepy
I’m hearing this in a Lowe’s rn when it’s open
My family is from Parkersburg, and we used to shop at this exact Kmart. Good old times.
To see a place so still and quite after day after day of people in and out is quite eerie.
Might want to narrate or at least leave the text on screen longer. Had to keep pausing so I could read it. Just a suggestion.
absolutely horrifying
Nice job. Glad you're back.
he cant be back not been 3 mouths get it was on scheduled upload

Yes I work at k mart store in Petaluma California store number 3501 that we got paid when I started in 1989

Its rumored to play the ol kmart jingles in it
The closest Kmart to where I live just closed a couple months ago
What kmart is this?
Looks so small on the inside when nothing is in it
If the lights are still on in that place to a small extent who is paying the electric bill
I stayed inside this Kmart for 3 nights while making my way west. Under that light just out of sight from the doors. Nothing happened.
You can see the switch when you pan up the wall.
If you life near a Kmart now it’s really a treasure!
my old Kmart here is a really nice gym now went back to it in the 80s now working out there ,really Kool
Are you by chance referring to Thornton Colorado and the Vasa Fitness?
Who else is Suprised Someone Hasn't Turned K Mart into a Backrooms Level lol
They keep the ventilation system on as well as the heating system,it seems.Will they open other stores in that building in the near future.Why aren't these stores just torn down.There were other areas filmed previously such as malls in worse shape than this,yet not torn down.Aren't there any laws that would force them to tear down abandoned malls.
Great video
Where is this located
Should be a VR survival game.
Update?
ita so eerie hearing the alarms
do a part two...in the woods out back where the burned down house used to be.
That would be so creepy
Dirty floors, dark, missing ceiling tiles, no merchandise and not an employee in sight. Reminds me of Kmart when they were open.
now that is totally awesome video about abandoned kmart
Is there an alarm in the background?
Where was this?
Hey this my city.. I’ve been in that Kmart... crazy stuff right by skate country. Back rooms in da city
Same
Howww did you go in there alone? I would be frozen in fear
Rest in peace Kmart 1950s-2000s
I wish I could have given LC pizzas to the crew who got laid off, but had to come back the next morning to “gut” the store. Their story is somewhere ova tha hedge fund.
what kind of alarm is that, i need to know
My old Hometown
Brave, Now i kinda want to go to a abandoned Kmart and call it "found footage."
Bouta go here with some friends seems cool af
And now there are only three Kmarts in the USA.
When did Kmart run out of business I know it's been a while since I heard about Kmart but how did it went out of business And pretty much this Kmart store looks abandoned and decommissioned how does the doors are still opening It is still decommissioned
1. K Mart Wasn't Able to Stay Competitive with Walmart and Target
2. A little Thing We Like to Call "Breaking and Entering"
It’s big alright
This is creepily surreal.
I live about 60 Miles from here but never went to this kmart Parker it's in Parkersburg this should have closed Before 2017 Like during the 2002 2003 Bankruptcy it was close to Marietta Ohio Location, Vienna Wv, And this location was like 10 Mins to the Vienna One, There was alot within 1 Hour and 30 Mins, It was close to the Zanesville Location, Clarksburg Location, Alot locations,
remember, we all still work at Kmart
The alarm is creepy
How did u get in there in the first place? They just leave it unlocked?
What u gonna snitch or something
@@jeremyeli6793 not sure how to even going about doing such a thing since I don't even know them. And I was just curious. I don't give a crap.
Door by loading dock was unlocked
at 9:35 i said "NOPE" and you did too i see, we are smart dudes🤓
What Caused Her To Do That?
Creepy loud speaker noise
Good stuff?
How did you get inside
Door was probably opened an not locked
to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and will really really LOVE kmart
Alarm alert going off due to zone issues or most likely battery low
That’s what you get when you build a Kmart on an ancient burial ground.
7:26 it might of been past explorers if it isn't then god knows that lurks in there
Now do the Carneghy Library
It's haunted because it was built on the site of a 1969 house fire that killed 12 people
Be good to ise this abandoned Kmart for a homeless shelty
Where is this??? What City?
Parkersburg wv next to Krogers
0:49 O.O Ow my eardrums
where was this at?
I just filmed here its rough
Kreepy Kmart!
