4 Abandoned Homes - Lots Of Unanswered Questions

Exploring Nomad / repeazie1988
Along a busy stretch of road sits a section of properties that are abandoned. It appears that a total of four residences are here with some garages and sheds. Built into a mountain side, the homes leave a lot of questions unanswered. When did they all leave? When was the fire? Why is there so much left in the one house? Those questions may never get answered but at least we get to look at the past as to how they live. Enjoy
Please Note: Exploring Abandoned locations can be dangerous. I don't condone or encourage anyone to enter an Abandoned structure. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal. I simply go to document its history before it's gone and leave things the way I find them. I assume all the risks & responsibility in doing so. Please don't attempt to do this on your own.

As a genealogist I have to say, I wish when you find family photos you would take them to the local library. Most libraries have a family information area. All the old furniture and china breaks my heart too.

[@lilyd1010]

The pics hurt the most - a life discarded, or at least a memory. I wish a few pics could be delivered somewhere too. But JP is so respectful he doesn't wanna disturb anything

[@lavenderlilac8920]

@@lilyd1010, I know , those family pictures, portraits, etc. tear at my heart, too, when i see them. They are like a life gone and discarded. It's a sad feeling. :{

[@lindawilkes9743]

It's so sad to see people just walk away or maybe pass away. And family members don't care about what's left behind. thanks for sharing this video.just makes me wonder.

[@Asist0ne]

It looked a fire threatened the neighboring homes and after safely returning they considered it as a loss. Got the fire insurance money and moved on. Who knows though?🙈🙅🏽💁🏽

[@shur7318]

linda wilkes or there was no family left to pass down too

[@williebeamish5879]

Me too. Been trying to clean up our 5 bedroom farmhouse after watching these videis. Only have one adult son who is single and has shown no interest in any "stuff" as he puts it.

[@vikip6]

People, if you die and don't have a will, the State will decide what to do with your things. It can take YEARS to settle an estate. And even if your children / heirs WANT to go in and clean up a house or remove things, the State will NOT ALLOW it. SO go see a lawyer and take care of your business.

[@williebeamish5879]

Yup. No brainer here. Hospital bed, busy 4 lane highway, house foundation looked bad, no one wanted because needed repairs or left to decay too long after owner(s) died.

[@ruthsnyder3462]

I disagree. If you have family when you die, your estate will go to a family member. At least in Pennsylvania. It's in the law which family member gets it. So if you want aunt Sue to have it you better make a will or brother Bill will get it. But the state won't.

M Mitchell tell us more!

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

I'd say that when these were built that road was probably not as wide or as busy. Being that close made them less than desirable to live in. Asking around the area or checking with the realtor or tax records would yield a lot of answers about them. The difference in conditions suggests that they weren't all abandoned at the same time.

[@lyndoncastonguay4813]

Amazing at what you find out there!!!

[@joeneighbor]

It sucks the place is literally right up to the road. Imagine trying to back out of your garage there. Although certainly not the first time I've seen this setup in old parts of towns. And with people still living in them that must face this conundrum. With the exception of the burned out hulks, I see these and feel someone must have really loved it in it's day. It's a shame how houses like this just fall to waste once people leave. It's not just the bad roof or other parts that go to disrepair, it's as if the occupant's life energy had kept the house alive. When they died or otherwise left, the house did too (dies). If I had the means (spare millions of dollars of expendable income) I'd make it my hobby to restore as many of them as I could and rent them so they'ed last for another 100 years or so. At least where it would be feasible; not like the run down slums areas that had little chance of ever coming back.

[@JPVideos81]

I have to agree, the first house was someones whole life that they took good care of. The burned house had a family there who was unfortunately displaced. The location is good and bad. Good because its isolated with no other homes around, but bad because of the closeness to the road and lack of back yards.

[@Lalunabreeze]

Ya, it was probably a little dirt road that ended right at the house.ty

[@ericzolner4650]

The bike is a Schwinn, the model might be a Hornet, I'm not 100% sure though. The tractor is a Simplicity or Allis Chalmers, an earlier model late 50's to mid 60's, will out push or out pull a John Deere or Cub Cadet of the same era. The Cadillac looks like an Allante which would be worth saving. there was even a high wheel cultivator by the bicycles that had a bike wheel in place of the original. Lots of cool stuff in this place.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for the info. Whoever buys these properties will definitely make out pretty good.

[@billmyke746]

Eric Zolner A good eye you have.I was drooling over many of the same items.

[@debraellison6255]

The old white chair I believe goes with the white drop leaf table in the basement. I loved the kitchen sink and the claw foot tub. The old sewing machine makes a great table or desk. The old heater was great. There is not many left of these gems from the past. If that was just a old country road (which it probably was at one time) would be a quiet place up on the hill. Thanks for the video

[@DazedNConfuzed58]

Something looks a bit peculiar here. Why was the highway put right on the edge of these houses? In my opinion, I think local government shenanigans is at work here.

[@texasgina]

After watching so many of these videos I'm beginning to wonder if the reason the houses are abandoned with most of the belongings is because maybe somebody died in there and their bodies were found at a later date and the homes had a bad smell so the family members just left everything in there. Because that happened to one of my neighbors

[@SweeneyTodd22495]

It used a Cadillac chassis and running gear with a body built in Italy by coachbuilder Pininfarina. It was expensive to produce with the complete bodies flown to Detroit for final assembly. Over 21,000 were built during its seven-year production run***

[@journeywithjay]

I wonder if everyone that lived in those houses were all related. and then decided to go elsewhere together, or if one by one they just left. the bike was sweet!!! the lanterns are cool I've seen some of them go for good money.

[@BruceOnder]

My guess: The owner of the property died with no real assets and probably the heirs/descendants are either not in the area or didn't have a close relation to that person. Probably there were tax liens on the property that no one wanted to pay for. And cleaning the home would be pointless if they couldn't sell the property. :(

[@cajun2197]

It's interesting. I love exploring abandoned places but houses are to me the most fascinating. I can't really understand how it happens though. I mean I can't imagine one day just up and leaving and never coming back. Leaving everything behind, pictures and books and clothes. I know sometimes it's because folks pass away, but wouldn't their family clean out the home and sell the stuff or donate it? Even if they don't have family and the house is paid off wouldn't someone still reclaim it for unpaid taxes? How do places wind up abandoned really? If anyone knows the answer I would be eager to hear because it's something I have wondered about this for a long time. Especially when the place looks like they were there one minute and gone the next. It's weird.

[@JPVideos81]

There's no one short answer. For this case. An elderly person passed away in the small home and as you saw the notes of paper on the items. They sold what was of value or kept it and left the fest behind. The property has been on the market for years.
