At 14:59 the lady in the car says "What the ...f is that? No, I see a eye and a dark shadow right there. Oh my God, wait. It's still there!" Then they drive off. I'm assuming they saw Dan and got spooked.
+Blk Phoenix I'm a sensitive as well, but I love to ghost hunt, I can feel them why not communicate. We got an EVP one time in a graveyard, I was there(female), my friend was there(male) and we got a recording of an woman's voice saying "Help me" I know I didn't say it and my friend of course was a guy. I have since been back to this grave with my friend and husband, I asked her to drop the temp around us and she dropped it by 6 degrees. I also felt a spirit that didn't want to move on and I told him to and my friend said the EVP after I said "Would you please move on" it said "I don't want to." but a person must know what they are doing before playing with fire, these can not be taken lightly, some are ghost, some are demons. that is why I do not open my doorway as far as it could go. Plus I am Christian and it is not looked on very well, but it is what it is and in my nature.
"Some idiot put their Instagram all over the hotel! I'm gonna blur it out and nobody's ever gonna see it hehehehehe" 😂 never lets me down this channel!.
I used to work here back in 2005 to 2006. I lived in one of the rooms for awhile. It's so crazy to see it like this! I remember it when it was full of life and business. It is definitely haunted!
+Rafay Tashkeel Hope this helps :) Go to Dans video page, its the video called "CUTTING/ROOM/FLOOR Ep. #3 : Unused BALTIMORE HORROR STORY Clips" He starts talking about it at 4:45 :) . Although he's more talking about guns rather than pepper spray or what ever :)
+lettucefire "It's not in your nature"?? Don't you really mean your government has banned all guns and won't let you? I always feel horrible for your policemen when watching them respond to violence, riots, etc....all they have is a stick... its.sad. This is where this country is going...and it's a sad sad time. Pretty soon, the only people that will have guns are the criminals.
I don't think that it would have been him that they saw. There's a chance it could have been but it seems veryy unlikely to me. Veryy curious as to what they were looking at tho....
+Missy B I would have waited a few seconds and then unleashed the most blood-curdling scream I could. But that probably would have taken something from the tone of the video. ...And likely summoned the cops to arrest me.
I was just commenting on that. Didn't think anyone else even said anything about it. I can't believe he hasn't said anything (thus far, I paused right after) But yeah they say something like "There's a shadow right there." "Up there" and then you hear something like "Oh my God" LMAO! Funny!!
I know it's a horrible thing to say but my favorite part of these videos is when you can hear the fear in his breathing, because I am breathing the same exact way with him - gripping my iPad, scared to death and I'm not even their!! Of course his true commentary is always so real and true, never anything staged like other videos I've seen....just raw, real emotion. Love your strength for us Dan!!
@@ION400 the character in @the official channel of officialness' profile picture is called Snufkin, and he's from Moomin, a really cute Swedish/Japanese kids cartoon!
same..I was so scared I had to watch it in bits...and then going into the comments to calm down lol. It took me an hour to watch it :( the ending scared me half to death.
It's like watching Ghost Adventures, only with an adult running the show! Those guys freak out at the sight of their shadow. Very entertaining to watch you videos. Thanks for what you do.
Nick, even dead malls can be spooky as well because they are deserted, and some pretty questionable characters like potential gangbangers are seen walking through
i really like that instead of every other haunted/paranormal youtuber you don’t fuck around with the place and make it seem fake. you adventure it and respect the place for what it is/was
I honestly love how Dan shows what he's looking at, a lot of people who are exploring abandoned places just show their face which doesn't capture the scenery surrounding them. Gold star goes to you, Dan !
I love how you have just become an urban legend! The kids who saw you will forever tell the tale of the night they saw the ghost of a man in the window at the haunted hotel! Hopefully they don't see this video!
+Llama Pants If he brought an Apple Watch, he's actually be able to capture his heart rate in real time and send it to his PC/Mac at home. I'd actually love to see that. It makes it a lot more intense when you feel what Dan feels in his videos.
I think he cut the video just before he took off running. You could tell by his breathing and the way he said, "okay.. I'm leaving now!" that he was completely freaked out. Real or not, Great video's!
Here's some history. However, this location still remains one of my favorite Harper's Ferry area haunts! The hotel was built in 1888 by Mr. Thomas S. Lovett, a local man of African American descent, who dreamed of managing a hotel overlooking John Brown's historic act. This first hotel burned in 1912, and its replacement burned again in 1917 or 1918. Still, Lovett and his wife Lavonia perservered, and the Hilltop House Hotel became host to such notable figures as Mark Twain, Alexander Graham Bell, and Bill Clinton.
t has also hosted a myriad of ghost sightings and paranormal experiences, witnessed by both visitors and staff alike. Among various apparitions, it is said that between 2 and 3am, noises such as pots banging, laughing, and voices can be heard coming from an empty kitchen. Furniture has been known to move on its own, and although it wasn't built until after the Civil War, there's allegedly sightings of soldiers, including a whole regiment that makes its way up and down the road.
+Ashley Brown Room #66 was one spot in particular that was said to be haunted by the ghost of a small boy. The boy, who died in the c. 1917 fire, is heard crying in that room, and allegedly a portrait of a young boy gracing the walls of #66 was said to cry real tears
In 1987, the Touhou Project was performed at the hotel. It was an success. 5,600 to 1,400,000 Yukari Project members wete slaughtered from 1987 to 1995 with mostly use of machetes and carbon steel knives.
what should've creeped you out and sent warning signs out the butt is that that blood stain is still a bit red, meaning it's somewhat fresh. And while a monster is terrifying, a crazy drug addict who is spooked is not that much more frightening.
@@jegeriufanen4415 I think its a unicursal hexagram. Its the symbol of Thelema. A specific “Occult” practice/ religion based on numerology and mysticism. Crowley sort of made it an organized thing and incorporated elements of Kabbala and ancient Egyptian spiritual practices. Hubbard liked the design and stuck it in the middle of the cross that Scientology uses. Not saying its not dumb kids messing around but they could have been drawing something intentional rather than the standard “spooky” pentagram, going for another “spooky” symbol.
Went a little under a year after this video. When you first come up into the lobby the wall to your left is gone and nothing but a pile of rubbish. The dinning/ball room didn't have a floor and there were a lot of holes in the floor on the third floor. Also, the middle of the building has begun to cave in.
As someone who doesn't believe in ghosts. I knew that when I saw a bit of dust fly in front of the Camera, if I looked in the comments people would be saying 'orbs'. And i thought right lol. Surely seeing that its alot more reasonable and logical for it to just be a dust particle lifted up from the movement of Dan in an old abandoned building smothered in dust and debris. Rather than believing it's some sort of spirit from an afterlife. These videos are really creepy for me aswell, not for Ghosts, but the thought someone could be sleeping in these places. Which is even more terrifying as you'd have to be insane to sleep in this type of place. I'm waiting for an explorer somewhere in the middle of the night to just walk in a room to see a man standing in there. That to me is scarier than Casper wondering around making knocking sounds..
Usually people who sleep in abandoned places are homeless, so if you ever go to one of these then bring like a little bag full of stuff they might need like water, food, toothbrush and toothpaste, just so you can give it to them. a lot of people think people living in these places are crazy and will kill them, but usually it's a NICE HUMAN BEING WHO JUST DOESNT HAVE ANY OTHER PLACE TO LIVE. they might yell at you to go away, but if you give them a pack of stuff they might need, then they might let you stay and look around.
This is a far cry from a dead mall... Also I can't believe those teenagers saw your shadow! You almost got found out, but now... they probably have no more doubts in their mind that the place is haunted!!
You got serious guts roaming around places like this at night. Utmost respect. Not only that, but great commentary and fantastic artistic photography that manages to bring respect to these sadly neglected places.
My mother managed Hilltop back in the late 80's-early 90's when the Stanhagen's owned it. Her office was down the hallway to your right of the front desk. The one with the copy paper boxes all over. :-( She did have one heck of a view, though. And she lived in the yellow house that was right down the street from Hilltop. Again, another gorgeous view.
+This is Dan Bell. yeah at 12:01 I here the voice and its definitely a female -it sounds like a muffled voice of a frantic woman struggling -where you near room 125 ? Cause at 4:55 there is a major no doubt orb of some kind of spiritual entity , who knows that guys ashes is spread out there or could be people.Good job braver man than I !
Dan-" I hate this fucking place!"...Also Dan- "Lets go into this pitch black, Cobweb laden. horrifying basement!!" LOL!! Love your videos, Dan, keep 'em coming!!!
You being frightened here is karma for scaring the shit out of all of us with the video of the 200 Yr Old Abandoned PA Farmhouse! LOL Love your videos!
Talking about strings, I recommend this to get in a nice yet creepy mood.. ;) /watch?v=Jce3Frxot9s The whole SH4 soundtrack is super good (in case you haven't yet listened to it).
Blood in the Lobby... "What kind of Hilllbilly shit is this" Shining Hallway... Silent Hill Stairway... KeepS hearing things... "Hello, is somebody down here?" "This was a stupid idea." This man has the heart of a warrior and the judgement of a toddler.
As a railfan, it even scared me, especially given the fact that these old buildings are creepier than many newer ones, and trains have always had a haunting factor to them for me. Big props to you, Dan. Seriously big props.
Hi Dan, hope you're well! Thanks for making these videos and I hope you pick it back up and start making more when you feel like it (please bring concealed carry to be safe)
I like the way you don't try to "hype up" the drama by, for example, calling out to people all the time for dramatic effect. You always let the experience speak for itself and you keep it very real. This has the effect of everything feeling very genuine and this gives an immediacy and accessibility to what becomes a shared experience. It's not just that you don't make silly mistakes, of course, it's also that you remain vulnerable and you have the character to let us know how you really respond to the environment even if it means letting us in on your fear and self-doubt. You're the kind of story teller that we gladly identify with. You show a rare talent in these films.
Whenever Dan goes somewhere at night I think "oh man I hope he doesn't die" but then I realize if he did die, he couldn't have uploaded the video. Pls don't die Dan just be careful.
Dan you make horror films feel like they ain't shit, lol. I mean, its all in the feeling, the surrounding, what might be there.. and I mean you document these places all by yourself, late at night, and when I watch, you take out my stress of the day through these vids. I'm like bowing down to your vids. Shit, scares the shit out of me. And I'm a horror fan.
There are a lot of wierd things in this house. 1. Blood stains. These don't come from cutting yourself. 2. Bleach... a lot of.. This bleach was first manufactured 2014. So this is actually pretty new as this video was shot, but as this place is run down, it is definitely leftover by a third person.. but what was cleaned? 3. Bulletholes in the wall. Well, it looks like Bulletholes. 4. That noise at 18:18 and a second time... oh my god.. you were not alone at all. Freaks me out. 5. Shouldn't the house suffered from a partial collapse? 6. A ceiling shows signs of a fire, but not the adjacent wall. at 5:50 7. There is a fukkin bloody handprint on a window. 8. Someone ripped a cable (copper) out the ceiling, but didn't take it with him? If I have the time and take the risk of being noticed, why leave he "valuable" behind? 9. at 10:49 i don't get it. 10. at 11:50 something big was removed from that place. probably a closet or desk drawer stuff. Let's see if I notice something else out-of-place
@@Glosoli4 7. That was clearly paint lol, someone playing a joke. The other blood might have been real though, hard to say. Looked a little too red to be real. What do you not get about 10:49? Why he was pointing the camera where it was or why he wanted to leave? Because both are just from him feeling uneasy. I imagine the two knocks were a squatter trying to scare whoever was there off. I'm not too sure because of the cuts; if the mattress was in the same room as the bleach, that would be very unsettling. Another thing to note is that the mattress looks almost too damn clean for that place.
I gotta say it! This is the 1st time I have seen the explorer being mistaken for the ghost!... You gave those kids an experience they will be talking about the rest of their lives! Too funny!
The drawing of the face on the wall at 3:47 is the same face as in your "DEAD MOTEL SERIES : Terrifying, Abandoned Historic Hotel w/ Crazy, Scary Incident" at the 14:50 mark.
+Miss Alexandra the hand is either a sticker or some has used their hand with red paint on the window , I say this because there is a red hand on the door earlier on . The face I think is just a light reflection .
You're a brave, brave man Dan. I would have been gone looong before you left. That narrow hallway on the 2nd floor creeped me out for some reason. This was creepy as hell!
+Pamela Major he is really brave :D personally i wouldn't have gone in there alone if i was paid... even with friends i'd still be cuddled on the floor scared out of my mind.
he is, because usually the air is too hard to breath/smells way too bad, especially with all the blood in this one also there could be gases/chemicals that could harm him so it's always best to keep safe when exploring abandoned buildings. Feces and decay (like multiple dead animals and animal feces he finds in places like this) release chemicals that could cause him to get ill

great videos dan. i find myself on youtube for hours watching you explore. i wouldn't have even made it in the door, never mind be able to explore a place like this alone. i give you major credit lol keep up the awesome stuff on here !
Mario Mac most of his vids are seriously legit unlike most you see. This man risks life and limb coming to these places! must be one of his fetishes. The thing is that he adds eerie sounds to the mix but anyone can guess that it's fake and not natural lol
The drops of blood with the thing about the guy's ashes were bad enough, but seemed to gloss over the actual spray of blood on the walls as he headed up the stairs- that' s actually really horrifying because that means someone had a significant cut which was spurting blood. And like others have said, that blood was still pretty red.
I guess there was a homeless person up the last staircase that heard you or saw your lights was probably scared do made noises to scare you away snd keep themselves safe
when he said "what the fuck kind of hillbilly shit is this?!?!?! " i lost it lmaooo
Holy shit, those bangs in the end were terrifying. Great video. Loved how you put the timestamps in as well, it was a nice touch that added a lot.

The dinning/ball room didn't have a floor and there were a lot of holes in the floor on the third floor. Also, the middle of the building has begun to cave in.
Just yell "POLICE" if you want To know if anyone is in the building
Hahaha
LMAO 😂
Haha true! If I heard that I would high tale da fuck out outta there. So yeah good tip, I'll keep it in mind!
But it's not so good if the Police is already searching for you! :P
sheeettttt great tip
As someone who doesn't believe in ghosts. I knew that when I saw a bit of dust fly in front of the Camera, if I looked in the comments people would be saying 'orbs'. And i thought right lol. Surely seeing that its alot more reasonable and logical for it to just be a dust particle lifted up from the movement of Dan in an old abandoned building smothered in dust and debris. Rather than believing it's some sort of spirit from an afterlife. These videos are really creepy for me aswell, not for Ghosts, but the thought someone could be sleeping in these places. Which is even more terrifying as you'd have to be insane to sleep in this type of place. I'm waiting for an explorer somewhere in the middle of the night to just walk in a room to see a man standing in there. That to me is scarier than Casper wondering around making knocking sounds..
no. you dont.
+OXY! You're calling people idiots when you can't even type a proper sentence? Smfh.
Not when that so called practical is flying from the opposite way toward you.
MICHELLE SHANNON It was clearly fucking dust or a bug lmao.
Usually people who sleep in abandoned places are homeless, so if you ever go to one of these then bring like a little bag full of stuff they might need like water, food, toothbrush and toothpaste, just so you can give it to them. a lot of people think people living in these places are crazy and will kill them, but usually it's a NICE HUMAN BEING WHO JUST DOESNT HAVE ANY OTHER PLACE TO LIVE. they might yell at you to go away, but if you give them a pack of stuff they might need, then they might let you stay and look around.
This is a far cry from a dead mall...
Also I can't believe those teenagers saw your shadow! You almost got found out, but now... they probably have no more doubts in their mind that the place is haunted!!
You got serious guts roaming around places like this at night. Utmost respect. Not only that, but great commentary and fantastic artistic photography that manages to bring respect to these sadly neglected places.
The mattress at 17:10 looks better than some of the mattresses on ADR.
Yeah i was thinking the same !! In pretty good state 😅
Facts.
NO WAY IN HELL!
STOP GOING ALONE.
I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK.
DAMN!
You should bring rick!
18:40 *hears thumping noises* *walks away as loudly as possible*
Crackhead letting it known of its superpowers.
WTF
15:00 "What the..fuck is that?!"
"I see a black shadow right there!!"
"Oh my god! (long pause) It's still there!!"
(car speeds away)
He really scared those kids away xD
I would have yelled "HEY KIDS!! IT'S BARNEY!!!"
thornlessbloom official
Oh man, a voice changer to make your voice sound nice and demonic while saying that, and then a wailing laugh at the end.
Those kids have a great story from now on 😂
My mother managed Hilltop back in the late 80's-early 90's when the Stanhagen's owned it. Her office was down the hallway to your right of the front desk. The one with the copy paper boxes all over. :-( She did have one heck of a view, though. And she lived in the yellow house that was right down the street from Hilltop. Again, another gorgeous view.
+This is Dan Bell. yeah at 12:01 I here the voice and its definitely a female -it sounds like a muffled voice of a frantic woman struggling -where you near room 125 ? Cause at 4:55 there is a major no doubt orb of some kind of spiritual entity , who knows that guys ashes is spread out there or could be people.Good job braver man than I !
yeah, i saw it the first time too. at the end, it fades away so it is not a piece of dirt or a bug
That loud ass train was frickin scary af!! Lol
Johnny Soto, I agree even if I'm SO IN LOVE with trains🚂🚅
Same here lol
Dan-" I hate this fucking place!"...Also Dan- "Lets go into this pitch black, Cobweb laden. horrifying basement!!" LOL!! Love your videos, Dan, keep 'em coming!!!
You and The Proper People are so underrated
Proper people is definitely overrated...
How is that even debatable?
The amount of pants I would need to bring with me would slow me down! Lol
Agreed! lots of poo!
+Joe Forster Plenty of toilet paper at 2:08!
+Joe Forster I imagine the next person who explores this place after you wondering why there is a trail of pants throughout the building. LOL
+Kitsune91 "Hmm why are there so many pants, and why do they all stink?" Lol and all that toilet paper would be gone!
jahahahahhahahahaha
You being frightened here is karma for scaring the shit out of all of us with the video of the 200 Yr Old Abandoned PA Farmhouse! LOL Love your videos!
+Lisa Mulloy LOL!!!
:o )
+This is Dan Bell. Please please please tell me you don't go to these places alone!! I would be terrified!
You were smart to beat a hasty retreat when the loud sounds started happening!
@ 4:36 "They're gonna burn it down I know it.. what a shame."
@ 4:51 "I hate this fuckin place."
Rekt.
When the kids saw you, you should of turned on the light and turn it off again the scare the daylight out of them
And at 6:42 theres a handprint but it looks like it says as and it looks like theres a face on the top line of windows 4 th one across
I know, I would've been like "I'm gonna f-cken kill y'all!
When does he see kids
*plays slow, quiet, ethereal banjo music*
You made my day, thank you mysterious commenter.
Talking about strings, I recommend this to get in a nice yet creepy mood.. ;) /watch?v=Jce3Frxot9s
The whole SH4 soundtrack is super good (in case you haven't yet listened to it).
I live in West Virginia. That type of hillbilly shit happens here all the time
Sigh. The movie was in Georgia.
Good tune
Blood in the Lobby...
"What kind of Hilllbilly shit is this"
Shining Hallway...
Silent Hill Stairway...
KeepS hearing things...
"Hello, is somebody down here?"
"This was a stupid idea."
This man has the heart of a warrior and the judgement of a toddler.
Did the train scare anyone else
Me
As a railfan, it even scared me, especially given the fact that these old buildings are creepier than many newer ones, and trains have always had a haunting factor to them for me.
Big props to you, Dan. Seriously big props.
i hear trains all the time, kinda soothing, reminds me of being a kid and visiting my aunts place, there was a train track near there..
Train whistles , at night, have always creeped me out
Are question marks used in the US? ;)
Hi Dan, hope you're well! Thanks for making these videos and I hope you pick it back up and start making more when you feel like it (please bring concealed carry to be safe)
This guy got a holy balls to do this , Especially at night time xD
And alone
Sherman Yep
I like the way you don't try to "hype up" the drama by, for example, calling out to people all the time for dramatic effect. You always let the experience speak for itself and you keep it very real. This has the effect of everything feeling very genuine and this gives an immediacy and accessibility to what becomes a shared experience. It's not just that you don't make silly mistakes, of course, it's also that you remain vulnerable and you have the character to let us know how you really respond to the environment even if it means letting us in on your fear and self-doubt. You're the kind of story teller that we gladly identify with. You show a rare talent in these films.
Whenever Dan goes somewhere at night I think "oh man I hope he doesn't die" but then I realize if he did die, he couldn't have uploaded the video. Pls don't die Dan just be careful.
Dan you make horror films feel like they ain't shit, lol. I mean, its all in the feeling, the surrounding, what might be there.. and I mean you document these places all by yourself, late at night, and when I watch, you take out my stress of the day through these vids. I'm like bowing down to your vids. Shit, scares the shit out of me. And I'm a horror fan.
There are a lot of wierd things in this house.
1. Blood stains. These don't come from cutting yourself.
2. Bleach... a lot of.. This bleach was first manufactured 2014. So this is actually pretty new as this video was shot, but as this place is run down, it is definitely leftover by a third person.. but what was cleaned?
3. Bulletholes in the wall. Well, it looks like Bulletholes.
4. That noise at 18:18 and a second time... oh my god.. you were not alone at all. Freaks me out.
5. Shouldn't the house suffered from a partial collapse?
6. A ceiling shows signs of a fire, but not the adjacent wall. at 5:50
7. There is a fukkin bloody handprint on a window.
8. Someone ripped a cable (copper) out the ceiling, but didn't take it with him? If I have the time and take the risk of being noticed, why leave he "valuable" behind?
9. at 10:49 i don't get it.
10. at 11:50 something big was removed from that place. probably a closet or desk drawer stuff.
Let's see if I notice something else out-of-place
+EXcentriX Murder!
@Solling Li ah but TH-cam is not a place for "reading"
Idk what your point is because those are all extra bonuses! They're included with this here, Hotel deal!
The blood looks fake asf
@@Glosoli4 7. That was clearly paint lol, someone playing a joke. The other blood might have been real though, hard to say. Looked a little too red to be real. What do you not get about 10:49? Why he was pointing the camera where it was or why he wanted to leave? Because both are just from him feeling uneasy. I imagine the two knocks were a squatter trying to scare whoever was there off. I'm not too sure because of the cuts; if the mattress was in the same room as the bleach, that would be very unsettling. Another thing to note is that the mattress looks almost too damn clean for that place.
I've watched these old videos many times and still get creeped out watching them. So brilliant my friend...
This man..........This man.......... has balls bigger than goku's spirit bomb
yo yo yo yo yo hold me back, hold me back!!!
Also bigger than vegetas ego
Bigger than Saitama's forhead
braddds what forehead lol
ShadowAngel so much salt in one comment
Dan Bell's channel is for grown ups, much better than exploring with X
Agreed
Who else is flipping through comments while watching this? Just so jump scares dont scare u as much😂
Me 😂
Me... Even though I can still see the video...
DAMN YOU, TH-cam APP!!
You girls are chickens jump scares are no where scary to me
why did you just say the almighty truth cause I'm doing it right now
me lol
I gotta say it! This is the 1st time I have seen the explorer being mistaken for the ghost!... You gave those kids an experience they will be talking about the rest of their lives! Too funny!
Watching this at 2am cuz sleep is for the weak
Then i never will sleep again :)
Then i never will sleep again :)
and you are damn cute girl :)
+MusicIs l0v hahahah u are funny man I just praised her nothing serious
+MusicIs l0v yah that was fucking strong that she has found me on fb and texted me for sex....-_-
Haha oh my god they thought you were the ghost!! XD That's epic!
We don't know if they see him or something else cause it's pretty hard to see him even with the lights.
this is so dangerous please take a weapon with you and don't go alone
The drawing of the face on the wall at 3:47 is the same face as in your "DEAD MOTEL SERIES : Terrifying, Abandoned Historic Hotel w/ Crazy, Scary Incident" at the 14:50 mark.
Woa. Weird
Same person who did the sketch, apparently, was in both places. Interesting!
what is that at 6:40 ? it looks like a hand against the window and a face looking in
+Miss Alexandra yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
+Alin Baraiac ikr
+Miss Alexandra That is just Wilson
+Miss Alexandra the hand is either a sticker or some has used their hand with red paint on the window , I say this because there is a red hand on the door earlier on . The face I think is just a light reflection .
how is that a light reflection
You're a brave, brave man Dan. I would have been gone looong before you left. That narrow hallway on the 2nd floor creeped me out for some reason. This was creepy as hell!
+Pamela Major Yeah, me too! Perhaps it's best he left that door unopened.
+Pamela Major he is really brave :D personally i wouldn't have gone in there alone if i was paid... even with friends i'd still be cuddled on the floor scared out of my mind.
3:56 that's the same drawing I've seen in previous videos.
Evidently from some other explorer
I noticed that also!
Muzak version of " sarah" Starship in background in beginning????? I love that song. Reminds me of 1985 on the bus to school.
Let me express how hard it is to lay on your side on the couch ear buds in holding phone to face and guzzling vitamin water at 3:30am.....
Tink Xx - Saaaaaame 🤣 Only I’m doing it 2 yrs later hahaha
Me every night.
18:16 oh heeell noooooooahhhh
You get you spelled Noah instead of no right?
I didnt read it. I sing it
So we are all gonna ignore the heavy Darth Vader breathing?
It's my ASMR
Cody Santana I'm pretty sure he's wearing a breathing mask or something
he is, because usually the air is too hard to breath/smells way too bad, especially with all the blood in this one
also there could be gases/chemicals that could harm him so it's always best to keep safe when exploring abandoned buildings. Feces and decay (like multiple dead animals and animal feces he finds in places like this) release chemicals that could cause him to get ill
I was totally thinking the same lol
Cody Santana haha...
Shit, I totally forgot that THESE are the videos that got me hooked on your channel. I'm feeling a sense of lite nostalgia.
Same
18:15 what the fuck... I would piss my pants full of urin and shit o.O
Daenerys Dovahkiin you piss shit?
Daenerys Dovahkiin there fuckeing with Dan. Usually the spirits usually come out during that time!
You'll be fine if that was just a ghost but if its a serial killer hiding in an abandoned building your are in big trouble.
When he said "Hello? Is anybody there?" and you could hear the leaves moving...almost shit myself. Awesome videos!
I keep waiting to see the twins in the hallway. "Come play with us, Danny"
Danny Bell!!! LMMFAO X^D
Dude your videos are structured WAY better than Exploring with Josh.
Solis_ _Corona - Probably bc he’s NOT Josh.. 🙄🤦🏻♀️ Different people do things differently.. If every TH-camr that did explore videos did them the same, it would be really boring to watch videos... your comment was stupid.. 🤷🏻♀️
Mourning Star
THAT is what you got from my comment?! 🤦🏻♀️
Mourning Star
Haha ok! Who is we “all” 🙄
I’m probably old enough to Josh’s mom 🤣 and I didn’t even say anything negative or over the top nice about either of them haha how old are you?? 12? Well have a great night!!
"What the fuck kind of hillbilly shit is this?" BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Going in that place alone, day or night, took a lot of balls. Awesome video.
Glad I found this ASMR channel
The Muzak version of ‘Sarah’ by Starship at the start is pretty soothing.
Timestamps:
1:21 Start of expedition
2:11 Possible blood trails on wall
3:25 "What the f*ck kind of hillbilly shit is this?"
3:45 A drawn face
4:55 Possible orb sighting
5:08 Train sounds passing by
5:51 Nice one Dan lol
14:55 Dan films an outside group having they're own shadow person encounter
17:50 A bat
18:14 Sound of something dropping
18:31 Same sound
18:35 About time you noped the F out of there
You seeing that bat was genuinely cool!
+Max Moser (aMAXproduction) I loved that little bat! so exceedingly cool!
+Jazzy Babe So cool!
RIGHT!
Batman must have been investigating in that house too lol
great videos dan. i find myself on youtube for hours watching you explore. i wouldn't have even made it in the door, never mind be able to explore a place like this alone. i give you major credit lol keep up the awesome stuff on here !
you need to get a night vision camera or a heat sensor camera
Night vision camera would pretty much do nothing. Heat sensor: who knows.
panther44634 Evers fake or not ill eat it like groceries
panther44634 Evers can you prove this is fake?
Mario Mac most of his vids are seriously legit unlike most you see. This man risks life and limb coming to these places! must be one of his fetishes. The thing is that he adds eerie sounds to the mix but anyone can guess that it's fake and not natural lol
Really? Why? He not in the military, and isn't hunting anything.
The drops of blood with the thing about the guy's ashes were bad enough, but seemed to gloss over the actual spray of blood on the walls as he headed up the stairs- that' s actually really horrifying because that means someone had a significant cut which was spurting blood. And like others have said, that blood was still pretty red.
how did you walk up those stairs with all that paper on it?! when my house is real quiet I scare myself when I make loud noises. >.
Amy Jenkins I know that...I'm referring to how loud it must sound when stepping on paper in a place that's so quiet.
Ok, those 2 loud bangs @18:16 and @18:31 scared the crap out of me !!!!
I had headphones on and the volume was pretty loud ... DAMN !!!!
I guess there was a homeless person up the last staircase that heard you or saw your lights was probably scared do made noises to scare you away snd keep themselves safe
