Abandoned home in Bloomington Indiana.

[@dejaesharp]

I don’t know why this came across my feed, but it’s awesome to see this!! Back when things were sane !

[@Thunderkiss5]

Great video. I admire your level of respect for the property. ALWAYS be careful in this kind of situation, these old abandoned houses pose a lot of hidden dangers.

[@InterestingTed]

Thanks Mark! And I couldn't agree more. definitely some hidden dangers.

[@sewndebisdream6953]

Wow! I was born in Bloomington and lived there for awhile and still have family there. I wonder where this is. Thanks for sharing. I know it gets very cold. My grandparents house is left abandoned in Helmsburg which is a little ways from Bloomington ...wish I could go back and see it. They passed away in the 80s. My grandpa made the concrete picnic table that looks like a tree is growing up against it. Hope you check it out.

[@christymckee8133]

I was born in Bloomington and I live in Nashville. Where in Helmsburg is your grandparents house?

[@sewndebisdream6953]

@christymckee8133 It's on the main road going to Bloomington. Between 1st and 2nd street across from there...(Its been a long time since I've been there.) My sister thought the house was to be torn down but she was wrong. The house has signs in the yard saying it has been left to natural wildlife. The house has signs that says condemned. She says the whole property is like the woods have taken over. I thought maybe the state or city would take over the property but I guess since after my Grandparents passed away the property wasn't given to anyone and was just abandoned. Not sure...

[@christymckee8133]

@@sewndebisdream6953 That would be State Road 45. Im trying to think of what place that might be

[@sewndebisdream6953]

Yes,it's on the main road through Helmburg on the right. There's a concrete picnic table in the yard that trees are growing up around it. It's a two story home with a basement, the house is white with teal green trim.

[@detluktarju]

Nice you took a photo of the woodbox .... With full adress ... Very unknown property now ... Thanks guys ;)

[@InterestingTed]

Haha, definitely researched that address, no connection.

[@SRNXD85]

as an Indiana hiker I really appreciate you treating the property with dignity. often I find places like this and it is full of graffiti and destruction..at first I thought the house was the one on tower Ridge Rd and this video was nothing special.

[@InterestingTed]

+SRNXD85 absolutely! I like to leave things as I find them. Take only photos - leave only footprints.

[@heyallwhatup3628]

So SRNXD85 is there any places that you could let me and my son know of that we can explore and just take pics and do video of ? We live in Orleans, but we can travel some. Thanks

[@licksnkicks]

One of the rules of urbex is take photographs/videos, leave only footprints. I love that bell. I think it was actually an old school bell considering there was a school bus on this property. Very cool video! Was that truck a Ford or a Chevy?

[@smilinachya]

This is (for me) in the top three of the most mysterious and cool abandoned house locations I've seen on KZbin. I really wish the inside of the house could have been thoroughly explored. Have you considered going back and exploring the inside? I also find it amazing that the roof is not completely deteriorated since its been abandoned apparently since 1977!

[@FuquarProductions]

If you are trying to find the owners, you need to go to the Monroe county recorders office to fine the tax records/deed holder. It may actually be owned my the county/state because of a possible tax bill, maybe even the old owners passed away with no heirs to the property.... just a thought. I am pretty sure I know the location, but I have not been in that area for at least 12 years.

[@planb2222]

I bet the reason your phone was quitting was because the person buried under the AD1950 marker was not very happy with you trespassing on his property. That was a complete homestead; dinner bell, dog house, out house, poor guys truck. I am in total agreement with you NOT disturbing anything. Very good. thanks for sharing.

[@InterestingTed]

I have to admit, the whole battery problem had me a little on edge. Plus you never know who could be staying in an abandoned place like that, I really think horror films have ruined me for abandoned explorations like this : P.

[@planb2222]

I lived in a "haunted" house for several years. Lots of unexplained things happening; lights turning off and on, doors unlocking, tapping under the kitchen cabinets and I had a very personal experience in the basement. I had that overwhelming sensation that someone was standing behind me and when I turned, sure that I would see my brother standing there, there was no body. It sends a chill up my spine to this day. I absolutely am a believer in the here after. Be safe and be respectful. God speed.

[@InterestingTed]

My mother and grandmother (her mom) experienced similar happening is their old home. They both describe the same dramatic nights, one of which they packed up and left. Ghost stories are fascinating, I wonder if we'll ever have a true understanding of the paranormal.

[@planb2222]

I think technology has definitely advanced our ability to at least prove that there is more to life than this physical rhelm. I personally find great comfort in knowing that there is more. I am Catholic and they preach that there is no such thing as ghosts; I disagree. In fact I believe that Heaven isn't too far away. I guess we will just have to make the trip to fully understand. Nice chatting with you. Be safe.

[@bxx32]

Such an awesome video! Shot on an iPhone? Wow. The quality is impressive! Thanks for your exploration guys!

[@shyshy808]

I really wish you went in however I appreciate your respect to the property. I can definitely tell you that you had a paranormal encounter. When the camera was trying to focus someone seemed to have been in the house. I hope you said a prayer when I left.

[@mental_mark4_addiction870]

You should have gotten some footage of the inside. In a day or two I'm posting on my channel some houses in Pennsylvania I have visited. great video, I enjoyed it

[@InterestingTed]

+Osiris Guy Thanks ; ) And the inside was likely unstable. I would have also had to move a bunch of things to get inside, which goes against my general rule of leaving things as they are.

[@InterestingTed]

You have an impressive collection of abandoned videos. Looks like you have Ohio pretty much covered. Definitely subscribed.

[@beawesomevlogs8838]

Hello from French Lick, Indiana....great video. We enjoyed watching. Hope to see many more of this nature....

[@InterestingTed]

+Be Awesome Vlogs here’s an extremely delayed Thank You for checkout out my content. Cheers!

[@ProjectRescues]

love that truck and bus! there still restorable! that electric lawn mower is rare!

[@InterestingTed]

The entrance by the old truck was in very poor condition. The one in the back would have required moving some stuff around to squeeze in. I personally was a little worried about the quality of the floor too, given there was a basement. Thanks for watching!

[@farmerjbird]

pretty neat stuff, I went to Bloomington South high school back in the 80s, I used to go to to old McDowell (Monon) railroad yards. I don't think there is anything left there, but neat video! I collect antiques and love to explore

[@InterestingTed]

+J Van Brown Then switchyard has recently been removed. There are plans to install a large park in that area. “Switchyard Park”

[@TheBlackEventorizon]

Inspiration abound for Fallout stories! Well done guys, glad you took care of it!

[@dougsk1]

did all of you miss the faint ghost figure behind the do at 8:36? It wasnt a reflection, it was a spirit.

[@christymckee8133]

Did you see the spirit at around 8:28 sitting on the picnic table?

[@christymckee8133]

my bad, thats weird, at 8:28 is where i see the one behind the door at 8:20ish is the picnic table

[@ChasingEmbersPortraiture]

Gah!! I want to do a photo shoot there so bad!! That truck and bus are amazing!!

[@InterestingTed]

Haha, pretty aren't they?

[@ChasingEmbersPortraiture]

Very!

[@InterestingTed]

A lot of you guys and gals are pointing out that spirits are said to drain batteries, one of you pointed out the possibility that one of those spirits may have followed me home. Come on you guys, you're freaking me out.

[@delanaphelps7667]

Nothing to freak out about they can't hurt you. They like electronics it gives them energy. Be interesting if you had your audio analyzed :)

[@InterestingTed]

delana phelps Interesting for you, potentially freaky for me..

[@InterestingTed]

***** Yeah, I still have a hard time explaining what caused that. I'm chalking it up to the cold zapping the battery, but it wasn't *that* cold out.

[@Aj_0400]

+Interesting Ted I Know Your Rule Is To Not Give Out Locations, But I Am A Fellow Hoosier And Explorer, If You Could Tell Me Where This Is That Would Be Great, Heres My Website That You Can Contact Me Through And It Has Other Locations That Ive Been To To Prove Im Here For The Right Reasons: abandoneddaily.weebly.com/contact.html -Thanks

[@InterestingTed]

gmscap Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind for any future explorations.

[@deathtravisable]

cool I live in Evansville Indiana! Theres an old abandoned graveyard here in the river in Evansville. Only a few broken stones remain on land. Makes me want to go explore around Evansville. THeres lots of old stuff in Pigeon creek to find and garvins park to find!

[@InterestingTed]

Thanks for the watch, and 'Hello!' from a fellow Hoosier. I find exploring to be a great pass time, but that could just be me haha.

[@deathtravisable]

Lol yes exploring is awesome. You find the weirdest and the coolest things. I explored an old school house and that graveyard here in evansville. Caught a few evps! Decided to do some more ghosthunting and exploring!

[@BertieW0oster]

Great video, it’s neat seeing how man made things return to the earth over time. Thanks for the exploration!

[@InterestingTed]

Thanks! I completely agree.

[@bxx32]

I appreciate it man! Thanks! You're doing great on Indiana also. A state with a lot to offer!

[@MistyLou0110]

I live in Bloomington and would love to explore this area if you can share where it's at. If not, I understand.

[@neweyes777]

Forget the House, look for a property dump or an Outhouse every time you find an old place! Give the House a once over then get permission to dig up the Dump to find bottles and accidental Rings they threw out with the refuse, and under the Outhouse where they always hid Their Valuables! Have fun and stay safe!

[@Coryhughes00]

Im from indiana too and im wanting to urban explore

[@bxx32]

No problem! I am a fellow explorer as you might see by my channel. This definitely is one of the coolest locations I have seen online. Thanks again for sharing!

[@ChrisHaefner]

Did you guys know any history of its owners? Any idea of when it was last inhabited? I'm very curious about the bus and is the bell tied to a school

[@InterestingTed]

Yes sir. All of my videos are shot with an iPhone. I was impressed myself; minus the whole power problem which seems to be a common problem with the iPhone 5. Thanks a bunch!

[@rjguzik2799]

Excellent video--saw the original video, but really enjoyed your perspective-the truck is a very old Dodge-

[@nrgyzr2012]

Great video by the way. Thanks for uploading. I live here in Indiana too.

[@InterestingTed]

PS: Hello fellow Hoosier

[@GTM59]

Great vid considering you used an i phone. I'm just curious as to why you didn't enter the house, or did I miss that part? It'd be cool if you could've went in and maybe found an old calendar or newspaper that might be dated. Hope you do more urban exploring and good luck if you do! cheers!

[@kaitelynhappel6660]

Suppose to be spending most of my summer visiting abandons but having a difficult time finding good ones. Wish I could get the location for this one it looks like a great find. >.

[@nmccammo]

I am curious. Did the current owners of the property grant permission so you could access?

[@A10TOES]

I enjoy this type of video, very interesting. I believe that truck to be a Chevy. My grandpa had a 1937 Chevy pickup, which had horse hair seat coverings. What a lovely place to have a house, close to nature. School bus? Surely there is a road close by?

[@InterestingTed]

Thanks for sharing. I would have also expected there to be a nearby road, but the road looked to have been lost to vegetation.

[@MavDude]

Truck would make an awesome rat rod (if you could determine the owner and get it legally, of course). I'd use the big red warning lights off the top of the bus for tail lights on it. It's a '36-'38 Dodge pickup, btw.

[@gmscap]

You can put the camera right against a clean spot on the glass for great interior shots. I've had great experience with it.

[@zer02465]

It's a good thing you parked on the North end of the property. Mr. Goodwin might not have been pleased if you pulled into his driveway to go snooping around in his back yard.

[@monsemaniaa]

Who is that?

[@natashanoel2445]

My wife and I would love to explore this place, anyway you could send the coordinates? Please and thank you.

[@heyallwhatup3628]

So hey there Michael, do you and your wife do this a lot? My son and I are wanting to get started in this, so if you know of any places around Bloomington to French Lick could you let us know and in return we would tell you places we have found as well. Thanks

[@greg5083]

you ever find it? my wife and I would like to go to I love old homesteads

[@Slightlyevil]

People talking about stealing stuff and destroying these old places get on my nerves. Lets the stuff be and get your own crap. Anyways, I wish you would have went in the house. I was waiting the whole video and no payoff =(

[@InterestingTed]

Entering the building was definitely tempting, but I really wanted to leave there without falling through a floor haha. Also, entering the building would have required moving some things around, which was something my amigo and I were trying to avoid doing at the time. Anywho, sorry about the lack of a payoff!

[@blal07]

Interesting Ted yep you missed out on the first edition Spiderman n Superman comics and the hell with the Beatles White album. leave em there to rot.

[@InterestingTed]

Yeahh. First addition comic books would be pretty cool.

I wonder if this structure was used as a school house at one point then a residence. The frame of the truck looks too rotted out to do much with it..

[@ginamaria2579]

GREAT video & AWESOME pics ! & I hate to tell you but spirits can do an energy drain, seems filming & cameras are especially susceptible . Apple might be saved from cookies but not from spirits ! lol Yep a bit of a creepy place, you did a great job !

[@InterestingTed]

That truck sure would too : D But sadly I think it's past the point of no return.

[@RebeccaMoody21sm01ur80f]

..you never know,it would just take a while,and a lot of research on that truck to get it fixed up the best you could,i wish i could stumble across places like that in Queensland,Australia...

[@InterestingTed]

I wish I could stumble around Queensland, Australia! Any part of Australia really. As soon as I muster up some courage for a long flight like that, I'll be all over it! I bet there are some abandoned properties in the more rural areas. I know I'm rambling here, but it's crazy how the internet connects people. Two completely different lives at roughly 10 thousand miles apart, and you'll be able to read this comment in a few seconds tops.

[@RebeccaMoody21sm01ur80f]

how long does it take to fly here from where you are??ive got some pics of and abandoned shack i found way out west,ill have to put them up...

[@InterestingTed]

You should! And it is a 21 hour (assuming only one stop) flight from here to Sydney. (Not exactly close to Queensland, but it gives a rough estimate).

[@heyallwhatup3628]

[@jimdailey1018]

it shots off because the sensor is too hot.

[@nrgyzr2012]

As a Paranormal Investigator I can tell you the following: Yes. ALLEGEDLY spirits drain batteries for energy. But since you said "It's 23 degrees", I would lean more toward the cold killing your batteries. Just like a car battery gets cold & won't start your car, those so much SMALLER batteries react the same way to cold. " NOT" saying 100% its not paranormal. Just saying odds are it was the cold. We have plenty of experience investigating outdoors in frigid tempratures. Sadly, its a common occurrence.

[@InterestingTed]

I'm with you on the cold causing it, but I have never seen a battery drain so insanely fast like that before. It was weird. You wouldn't be the crew that my buddy and I came across a few years back at Step Cemetery would you?

[@nrgyzr2012]

+Interesting Ted LOL! Probably so. We go there all the time.

Once again the young kid urban explorers ( all of them on youtube) fail to grasp the real full Layout of what they are exploring. It’s always jerky camera shots and they don’t really show anything that what would be interesting. Never pointing out anything like construction of the house, who may have lived there etc. Inside the privy would have been a nice shot but never mind they don’t even know that there would have been several rare bottles buried in there. Also what was written on the bell? Why would you just breeze by it is in 2 seconds and not show it more it obviously has great significance with the house?
