Abandoned 200+ Year Old Mansion - Family Mysteriously Disappeared?!

[@jennateesdale1286]

The mixer is potentially from the 1980s, as it appears to be electric it is certainly not from the 1800s!

[@TheLukeExplores]

You’re very right 😂😂 I didn’t realize another family moved in before the house was abandoned. Definitely from the 60/80s😂 hope you enjoyed

[@vickydangelo6395]

That little tea pot is a moka pot used for brewing espresso! Great video Luke this house is amazing!

[@TheLukeExplores]

Thank you!!! I should have known that lol but hey at least I said coffee 😂

[@lcegaming184]

It’s a good day whenever Luke posts!

[@TheLukeExplores]

That just made my day

Agreed!

Hello hi Luke

[@jeffcicale]

I really enjoyed the intro on this one too....excellent shots and very informative! The new drone is working out well! Was definitely a thunderbird....Ian knows his stuff! What a beautiful mansion. They sure don't make 'em like they used to from the woodwork to the solid construction. I'm shocked so much stuff was still in the house untouched. It's always fascinating to see how these places were decorated and this did not let us down! Props for opening the Fridge (I always know not to but do it anyway hahaha) I agree with the clothes hanging up in the bedroom....no sun fade which is pretty wild as it happens quickly. Solid chair of the episode selection, 10/10 video as always bro!

[@TheLukeExplores]

Jeff!! Appreciate the comment man I’m glad you enjoyed, KZbin do you’re thing!!! Yes I was impressed with his car knowledge, but not surprised. He like you could build a car from the ground up. Appreciate the insight on the intro man, the drone is totally pulling its worth! I’ll definitely be doing a few more houses/mansions from here out, that’s 100 pct. There was definitely some areas that were set up but I really got the feeling like this was more or less left in time. Left in a hurry almost, would have been a beautiful estate back in the day. Thanks for watching man, and as per always let’s explore!!

[@amandaseitz4820]

The big dark tanks are for heating oil The blue thing was a well pump.there was a hot water heater there as well

[@TheLukeExplores]

@@amandaseitz4820 did not know those were for oil 💯

[@thehauntingofnorthcarolina296]

It's crazy how far we've come in advancement

[@terrystrahl6006]

You are 100% correct about the car, a FORD T-BIRD from the 80's , and all those little things on everything in the attic are Mice Droppings, looks like this house was really nice in its day. Looks like the house had been Staged, good and interesting explore !!😀

[@TheLukeExplores]

Thanks for watching, definitely was staged at one point- so glad you enjoyed!! Definitely will be exploring more places like this.

[@terrystrahl6006]

[@lexisherman72]

love this video Luke, first abandoned house on the channel!!!

[@TheLukeExplores]

Thanks Lexi, appreciate the comment:) more mansions to come

[@thehauntingofnorthcarolina296]

I was just as excited!

[@ctbandos]

Dope video, a lot more left behind than I would've thought that bedroom is crazy!

[@TheLukeExplores]

Means a lot man, right back at you with your video today. Whole house was a time capsule, appreciate the comment 💯

[@darcihoudeshell2588]

Those things that you were calling water heaters are actually for the heating oil. You know like for the furnace.

[@TheLukeExplores]

Thank you yes I got grilled for not knowing by my buddies lol thanks for the comment

[@Dierbeckj]

A little late to this, but another great video Luke. There’s definitely something eerie about the house knowing the history.

[@TheLukeExplores]

Appreciate it Joey, welcome to the party! Definitely will have more videos like this, thanks for watching!

[@borbalaequestrian1315]

Looks more Victorian era with the turret and a Queen Anne flair. Even the choice of lace curtains with Victorian style beds and their headboards and canopy. The other living area in the back would be the family back parlor which would be more casual as opposed to the formal front one by the front door. The Nativity Set still out suggests they may have moved out the 1rst of the new year.

[@TheLukeExplores]

Thanks for the insight- great observation. I also thought the style was closer to Victorian but everything I saw online and the other video on this place all say colonial. So who knows lol. Would have loved to see pictures of this place before it was abandoned. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for the comment!!

[@CodeMattPlayz]

Such a cool find!

[@TheLukeExplores]

Hope you enjoyed!!

[@carlashepherd9362]

I love these old beautiful home’s! So sad it’s abandoned and in terrible shape! Totally awesome video bro! 👍👍❤️🤘

[@TheLukeExplores]

Thanks for watching and for the comment! Definitely gonna be doing more mansions like this and better 😉 thanks for the kind works, can’t wait for the next video already 🔥

[@lindaosmon5224]

The tiny teapot that you saw in the kitchen. Is actually for making Espresso. Old school. Awesome find great video.

[@TheLukeExplores]

Thanks for the comment! I feel like such a dummy for not knowing that lol I’m really getting called out for it 😂😂 I’m so glad you enjoyed!!

[@thehauntingofnorthcarolina296]

Espresso?! Dang must have been good!

[@ForgottenTreasures]

Amazing exploration, I love an old mansion. Also, your friends was right that the car you found is a Ford Thunderbird 1983 - 1988 ninth generation.

[@TheLukeExplores]

Appreciate it man, thanks for the comment! Yes ian’s pretty knowledgeable, seems like everyone knew this except me 😂 thanks for watching too I’m glad you enjoyed it, I’ll def be doing more mansions and houses. Seems like the people like it 😂

[@thehauntingofnorthcarolina296]

​@@TheLukeExplores don't worry I didn't know either lol

[@thehauntingofnorthcarolina296]

Let's go brother 🔥💯 0:30 it's in such a beautiful location But i wonder how far they had to travel to get to a store, seeing the location 1:27 not sure why, and i know this is irrelevant to the mansion, but i love toads that look like that with the leaf's on both sides of it 3:09 now luke you know me I'd rather things stay abandoned and let mother nature claim it, but in this case, someone should take amd fix up that old Thunderbird 3:58 fitting music for a mansion 4:31 love the pillars 5:04 the design of those curtains is amazing, you don't really see them be made like that anymore 5:43 really am surprised by how clena that paino is though, looks entirely new 7:14 love the natural decay of the paint on the walls, always good to see 8:42 that teapot is a relic 🫖 9:39 that green tea is as old as us brother, thats crazy 😂😭 11:17 why does that shirt still look clean though 11:50 that curtain must be for design only, because there's no way it's keeping out sunlight or people from seeing into the room 12:09 that is a really nice suitcase 12:34 woah what is that table thing? A sewing table?? 12:50 agreed but why do they look so clean?! 12:58 that's what I'm saying!! 13:47 brother I'm noticing it too there's alot of clean stuff there, makes me wonder if there's a clean squatter?? Maybe a river they are washing the clothes in??? Between the clean clothes and trashed floors it's confusing 13:59 I'd sleep there with a open window, and washing those pillows/sheets In the closest river 14:08 nahhh someone definitely put that bird there 💀 Also perfect timing for creepy music lol 15:50 if only it still had power 14:53 this is another perfect example, the room has black mold and destroyed curtains, and yet everything else is perfectly fine, well except for the blinds those are trashed too 16:00 i was going to say those 2 golden chairs were cool but yeah that's a good one Brother that's what you need! Some urbex cards to promote your channel 17:55 the architecture on that is beautiful 18:27 RIP awesome explore brother!! I miss you man, happy to see you explored a mansion!! 🏚️🔥

[@TheLukeExplores]

Wow. This is a very insightful comment, thank you Tevin for watching and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate that, I’m so glad you liked it. I’ll definitely be doing more mansions/houses and I promise you they’re gonna get bigger and better 💯💯💯 I appreciate you a lot man

The bedrooms just kept getting nicer 🤣

Fr you wouldn’t expect the insides based off the outsides- I hope people stick around long enough to figure that out lol

[@amandaseitz4820]

The furniture is definitely from the 50s through the 70s.

@@amandaseitz4820 would make sense based off the time period.

I love the house. Where is it located? I would love to renovate it.

[@TheLukeExplores]

NY is all I can tell ya! Clues are in the video 👀👀 would be an awesome spot to get up and running again with life

[@mikecroaro519]

The original part of the house was built in 1815. Sometime later, the 3 story addition was added on. The house was occupied last by Sheila and Gladys Fortune. Both moved to Texas in 2000. Gladys passed. Sheila may or may not be still living.

[@TheLukeExplores]

I’ve heard the same about Sheila- how odd would it be for her to watch these videos from afar😂 hope you enjoyed the explore!

[@JohnRosado-n8t]

Why are people now sugar coating the words died or dead.....?! Passed away?! Wtf!!

[@TheLukeExplores]

Yeah what the heck

[@vivianholland6575]

Who was the owner of the house. And did they pass away and that is very sad 😢

[@TheLukeExplores]

Look up the Fortuna family online! Quite the background there, the family both passed away/moved onto new territory

[@jrgnc1]

A mixer from the 1800s? No. They didn't have electrified mixers then.

[@TheLukeExplores]

Thanks for catching that! :)

[@ROOSTERNEWTONJOHN]

That's not a satellite it's an antenna for a TV and or a base cb. Before y'all's time but not mine.
