Abandoned Hall's Mansion - Stay Away!

[@JPVideos81]

Although this isn't my typical style of video, i wanted to atleast share what i could. If you appreciate the effort, please give the video a thumbs up. Thanks so much everyone.

[@WallieB26]

Excellent and informative video. Great job. Really enjoyed.

[@LazyIRanch]

I really loved everything about this! You've got mad skills with that drone, excellent camera work! As always, your dialogue is informative. One of the things I love most about your work is how respectful you are of these abandoned places, and how you show other intrepid explorers the right way to do this. Thank you for another fascinating excursion!

[@thepinkyprincesspoetc.a.5767]

Your the Best JP....I appreciate All the Effort you put into your Channel Hon....Have a Great night...

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

Hi Jay. Did you know that this video was the 1st in my box today because You Tube was having folks do a survey, "Do you like this video because.. (they list stuff like 'entertaining,', 'informative', 'other'. and they tell you to hit submit after listing like 6 things. We should have been able to hit more than one or they should have combined some answers like; 'informative/entertaining', ect. I just thought you might like to know about it if you haven't yet seen it. I clicked on 'informative' (and I wanted to click on entertaining but like I said you could only click on one and you couldn't write anything on why you like (or don't like ) the video, so ... But I put 'informative' because you're always giving us good advice and telling about the locations ect. You Tube is always a challenge. Well now, to your video. I hope the sweet kittys are having fun.😁

[@ericmarsteller8918]

Great video!! It’s also that you used drone instead of chancing getting arrested or fined

[@roberttownsend9826]

I did electrical work on the property in the 80's!!! The tower contained tuned bells that were played on a keyboard in the house!! It was called the carillion tower. It was very strange the whole time I was there!!!

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for sharing

[@beverlybalius9303]

Maybe it was a Satanic Temple??

[@cameleonfleuri]

@Robert Townsend : Wow! Really strange indeed. On the other hand, many old buildings and mansions from the 18's used to have huge organs or bells, precisely tuned, to act as resonators (frequency amplifiers) and, from what I have read and investigated till now, it seems it was related to old free energy devices.

[@ThatOneCivic99]

Would you happen to know what all the tower contains. Looks like a pool near the top

[@kenb3163]

"Stay away"? No, I'll take a chance. Too cool.

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Good video. Neat perspective. Too bad it can't be explored on foot but not worth getting arrested for. Thanks for sharing. You did a good job flying your drone. Was nice & steady

[@irenecypher8423]

I'm so glad that you explored by drone instead of going in. Very smart. This must have been an awesome place back in the day.

[@lukescapee1234]

I came across this along the highway with some friends year or so ago. We did the same, pulled up to the front and talked to the house at the end of that gravel road. She said it was posted heavily and someone had fallen and died back there a few years ago. So we went to the highway and there was a cop parked on the exit ramp. So we parked 2 miles behind it at a golf course and walked through the woods. Didn’t see any cameras so we walked back on the actual path and we were totally fine. Took some photos and hung out for a while with no complications. Pretty cool place.

[@darkside9273]

I live about 3 mins away from it

[@masterxace]

I live around the corner. The stories are funny to hear but it’s mostly the controversy surrounding it that is interesting. In the end it’s just a burned out building and tower with nothing really to see worth getting in trouble over. It would be nice if someone cleared the area out and made that pond a good fishing spot. lol

[@jordigustavobmx]

Can you guys give me the address id like to go there

[@russellpetrie119]

you would think they would demolish it after the fire and save on security

I think you did great with this! It also gave me some information on drones and drone performance. Thanks!!

I really enjoyed this different style! I wouldn't mind watching more like this at all! Thank you for taking the time to show us all these different places!

[@deborahmontgomery2812]

This was cool... The video certainly held my attention beginning to end! Amazing what drones can capture. You are well skilled with it, the footage paired nicely with your narration. Plus you did a good deed perhaps by encouraging explorers to not risk it emphasizing the consequences. I'd watch more like this!! Thanks very much!

[@teespoon8858]

I don't think I've ever commented on one of your videos, but I watch them all! My favorites are the ones with history and wear! Even though we couldn't get in.. You gave this one a story.. History! Thank you! Keep them coming JP!!!

[@JPVideos81]

Feel free to comment more often.

[@p.k.5455]

Very intelligent way to explore and describe when not physically able to go on the property! Thats a win in my book! Good video

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks

[@kathybecker3902]

Thank you, I've lived in this area for 65yrs and counting. This footage is mesmerizing. This property has been rittled with rumors over the years, and we all wondered about it. It would make a beautiful park/nature area. The Hall's could donate the land to the town.

Mrs. Becker is that you.

If it is your like a top tier all-time substitute. Like when I see you in the classroom I get a bit excited. Thank you mrs. Becker.

[@JPVideos81]

Now you know whats back there.

[@Joe.M]

JP. I was in the Mansion back before it burned down. John Hall, hired me and a friend to move his 12 foot Bosendorfer piano. He gave us the grand tour. The house was incredible! Handball courts, full-size gymnasium, secret passages, spiral staircases, Library. A mountain stone fireplace that was so big, you could walk into it. The fireplace concealed a passageway behind it that lead to the tower. A friend of mine owned the farm that's on the other side of the creek across from the Hall Mansion. I was also there a few years later when they had the auction and sold off all of the contents.

[@JPVideos81]

Wow, sounds incredible.

[@Sandy-is2kf]

Thank you so much Jay!!! That was an amazing video from the drones perspective. It is amazing how much you can see from way up there!! I really enjoyed the history you shared too. Be Safe and God Bless!! 💖😎😉👍🎥

I enjoyed your video great view of the area from your drone camera. Interesting looking place too, since I happen to live in Pa. it makes it even more so. Thanks for putting this out for us to enjoy I’d never other wise ever see the place. It is clearly marked as well. The tower was impressive.

[@lilbird4198]

Although the surrounding property seems lovely, I had a disturbing feeling in my stomach, when you flew over the house and tower. Even the sports courts gave me a feeling of dread. Thank You for sharing, JP. 😊

[@algator55]

[@dn2817]

Oh wow! So… back in the early 90’s, my friends and I went out there because some of my friends knew a “kid” who used to live there. Hall was the last name. Yep. It was just some rich family who built it then I think the young guy moved on…. We went out there to skateboard if Hall still had a mini ramp and or convince them to let us build a skate park out there… It was way more organized and still lived in but no one came out to greet us. I don’t think there was any “no trespass” signs when we went… we just wandered around and fantasized how cool it would be to skate / make a skatepark. Thank you so much for the footage! I can’t believe how dilapidated it is now! Also, I live on the west coast and the police don’t arrest or find anyone for trespassing or squatting in King County washington state! You just reminded me how much of a policed state PA is! I know convicted felons for having a few grams of pot in PA and in Wa, they sell weed a block away at a store near me… There are skate parks here all over for kids to enjoy & in PA we were criminals just for skateboarding.

[@algator55]

It's amazing you made it out alive back then, they must not have been home.

[@kensmith2830]

Great to be able to see another interesting view of a property which is definitely out of reach. Glad you have the drone to capture the view and it was great you gave the voice over with the history on the property as we watched. A really good and different way to display another piece of someones history. This type of viewing defiantly would be the way to go on showing us other areas which cannot be physically accessed. Well done and thanks.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks ken

[@annebell7274]

That was great. I loved it. I love the drone and to get a whole post of it with voice over was brilliant. It's very relaxing sitting in my comfy chair and admiring the view. Would I like to see more like this, yes I definitely would. Fantastic 😃😃💕💖💕

Hi Jay, I think it's a great video as it lets people know that it really isn't a good idea to go there. It looks like it would have been a pretty place to live.

Great drone footage JP!! I loved this view of the mansion!! I actually was there many years ago. I have pictures of the inside. That place was amazing even when I went.

That was one of my favorite parts of KZbin when I first started. Also I carded one of your videos again in my last video, I did the railyard only because we were both in it.

Well, he mentioned it was 16 stories. Quick google search suggests the average story in a building plus floors/ceiling is 10 feet. So I’d imagine it’s around 160 feet.
