Abandoned house on River Hill Rd. Tuscarawas Co. Ohio

Abandoned house on the corner of River Hill Rd. and Gilmore Rd. in Tuscarawas County Ohio. This house was built sometime in the early 1800s. I talked to a man that owns property next to it and he told me at one time it almost became the Tuscarawas County Seat. I really like the charm of the spiral staircase as you enter the front door. When I went into the blue room upstairs I felt a strong vibe of a man dying from a heart attack! When I went looking for a basement, the entrance was on the outside of the house and was very small and narrow made of stones with a short door! It could have been a root cellar at one time. I also had a vibe of someone being murdered when the first family live here! Photo and video by Vanessa Bechter. 4-8-2016 Thank you for watching and please subscribe to my channel!

Hi! I love that so many are doing vids like this! Beautiful old home, I'm sure, back in its day. Two things (meant well, not nasty): 1. Please slow it down a bit so we can see what you see; a lot of zinging round corners results in missing a lot of details (not for you, because you're there). 2. A lot of this was shot viewing only the top half of the room. A wider shot (if possible) would be a lot more interesting. Admittedly, I've so far just seen this one of your vids, but of all the people doing this, only Dan Bell seems to do it slowly enough to take it all in (that I've seen). Some doing this on YT (not you) are ONLY zinging around, so you see almost nothing but blur, and it gets frustrating when its such cool old places and things inside! Again, not meant as anything but constructively. I love what your doing, and it's really cool, and don't want to sound like an ass. I just really want to see this stuff!! So thanks so much for all you do! Peace.

[@VanessaBechter]

I am new at this and have only been filming abandoned houses for months

[@mricci571]

For some reason out of a lot of old house videos, this house seems lonely & sad. It looks like it was a beautiful place that someone really loved. A house with a broken heart.

[@VanessaBechter]

+M Ricci...It was a very old house. Just think how many generations of families lived there. From all the info I gathered I am guessing it was built in the late 1700's!

[@mricci571]

Wow!

[@VanessaBechter]

I wish someone would restore it

[@deirdrepasko9056]

I thought the Victorian era was late 1800's?

[@laineyfabriccio5984]

all the homeless people and they are letting these house's rot away, what a shame, would have been a lovely house in its day

[@81licker]

This is the first one I came across where a woman is going through an abandoned house alone. Braver than me! 😱

[@pipsumpter]

Check out tiki trek. She is awesome! My favorite urban explorer

[@barbaraann7664]

At around 7:49 a figure moves past the open window.

[@cjclark2002]

Holy shit, your right!

[@hollymorse1116]

I thought the idea of this was not to disclose the location of the house.

[@Tmax-ub5br]

a beautiful home left to rot. what a shame. there's so many people trying to get homes. we have homeless veterans, why not give them a home.

[@vanessadarnell3014]

Timothy Maxwell Maxwell I agree with you I think that they should give those homes two people to fix up so they have nice homes to live in so many people need them they just let him fall apart don't care

[@christinegruenberg3120]

I think they should restore these once beautiful old homes.

[@pbs4535]

oh please hold your camera really still we can't see what you are looking at ok???👻👀

[@veronicaparr6980]

I have pictures of before and after of these homes

[@VanessaBechter]

+Veronica parr You can send me photo's to my facebook mail at Vanessa Bechter)...thank you :)

[@crazymomaterri1208]

slow the camera turning around makes me dizzy

[@bluize567]

I'm from Ohio, so your videos are of particular interest to me. Have you heard of the Octagon House? It's VERY close to where I grew up. That staircase and the wood trim is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@VanessaBechter]

Please tell me where the Octogon House is :)

[@bluize567]

+Vanessa Bechter Google Gregg Crites Octagon House, there's also a youtube video about the house. It's in Circleville, Ohio...where the Circleville Pumpkin Show is held in the fall.

[@missyyouknow6002]

@@bluize567 it's being refurbished. Its not abandoned anymore. 👍

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

At one time I'm sure it was a beautiful house with some history to it. I enjoyed this video, trolls that have no life but to be ignorant can just leave.

[@Lala44621]

Cool that the owners gave you permission to go in!

[@jeffsemancik2060]

beautiful old house, it mustv'e been beautifu back in its day i love thatl staircase, , thanks for the tour

[@VanessaBechter]

+Jeff Semancik Your welcome

[@lewisner]

Yeah imagine the staircase stripped and varnished, gleaming.

[@urbexgyula]

I love it!

[@VanessaBechter]

+Szellemvárosok Magyarországon - Abandoned Hungary Thank you...all of the houses I have been in were built in the 1800's

[@cwb0051]

Great Job Vanessa..Stay Safe..

[@jessieheston7840]

This house has since been torn down. It's about a mile from me. I would have loved to see it in its glory days.

[@brendan25]

Such a shame. We need to be conserving our history or we will lose it

[@andrewbrendan1579]

The overcast sky went so well with the deserted house. The house is fairly modest in size (no back staircase) but must have been quite luxurious. Maybe built for a well-to-do couple with few children? I can hardly believe that staircase is intact and hasn't been vandalized. I think I saw a space where one spindle (?) is missing but that may have happened long ago.--I agree: looks like a homeless person had been there. If my memory is right, I read somewhere that before closets became common in houses, early closets were shallow because clothing was hung up so you saw them from the front rather than from the side. There must have been chests-of-drawers and armoires.--With all those big windows a lot of natural light would---and still does---come in.

[@VanessaBechter]

+Andrew Brendan I think this place can be restored, but I think the man who bought the property is going to take it down :(

[@Earthdogbonzo3]

Just like this house, and your little narration is pretty catchy!

[@harleyQuinn-ty8ge]

Please show the lower half of the rooms as well. First time watching you and you move to fast and don’t don’t let us see what you see. Thank you for your work because I love looking at these old home my love.

[@chriswhittington294]

Just a suggestion...I probably wouldn't give out the location. People will just destroy it. Thanks for showing us these beautiful old houses.

[@nuttybar9]

Aren't you afraid going into them alone or do you take anyone with you?

[@VanessaBechter]

Nope lol!

[@aprilbeal4322]

I really like your video, the paneling in the kitchen.... I can tell it's from the 1970s. I love the wicked staircase, but was disappointed to find that it went straight into a wall I thought it would go into another room or something. and yes that basement entrance was very disturbing. you should never go on outings like that in abandoned houses without someone with you, you could fall throught the floors and get hurt and nobody would ever know you were there.

[@симсфриплэй-я5щ]

Video! class.✌👍

[@Amy-hy5on]

You went a little too fast for me. I would've liked to have seen the wallpaper closer, the debris/paper on the floor. ☺

[@lifeofamomadventures6978]

Hi Vanessa. This first house is a really cool house. I’m amazed at the condition it’s in.

[@carolynperez8626]

Wow that house was probably absolutely gorgeous back in its day. Great find Vanessa!

[@ceciliahouston6294]

Wow Vanessa you are doing so great with your explores and commentary! keep up the great work, and be safe :)

[@aquavirgio]

I love your videos! I live and explore in Ohio too and it's very cool to see all these places near me!

[@VanessaBechter]

Thank you! :)

[@vanwalker1206]

Have you seen the abandoned house on Bethel Hill in Tuscarawas County?

[@cjsk45]

Instead of panning fast over all the peeling walls, it would've been nice if you'd done some close ups of the woodwork, and I caught a glimpse of patterned glass in one of the doors to the outside, but of course, you just flashed by it. I have to agree with Dennis Morrison. You could learn from criticism instead of being insulted.

[@chuckluke6219]

I always like to think of the excitement and joy of the original owners when the house was brand new.

[@VanessaBechter]

I think about that when I a in there :)

[@xmasdolly]

You really shouldn't move your camera so fast. We can't see anything, it's quite annoying, and it makes ya kinda sick. Personally, I'll move on I don't want movies like this where ya can't see anything because of the person using the camera.

[@Earthdogbonzo3]

You Rang? Ah Tish, isn't it wonderful to be alive when all around we're surrounded by death and decay!? Oh Gomez you darling your romantic side is showing

[@Stepthatway6]

I know that house

[@tinablevins7659]

Beauty old home at one time I imagine but can't look because you swing around to much.slow it down as you are filming would make it better for your viewers.just a tip not trying to insult you.great old place.

[@elizabethteran4402]

I enjoyed the video. Thanks.

[@Earthdogbonzo3]

This is such a cool Addams family style house! Wish I could buy it, fix it up and live in it!

[@VanessaBechter]

This house could be saved...it was built very solid!

[@deirdrepasko9056]

Yes, it could! It's a shame that this old Victorian home is just left to waste and ruin!

[@moto1p1]

*Adamms

[@bigaparker1977]

I knew it was a good one from the start with oval windows in the doors . But I'm really here for the stairs and yeah them some good ones I would've been scared to do. Good vid but can't really see the bottom of things.

[@tammilopez8612]

You got more guts than me to go in there because if it had been me i would have probably fell through the floors..lol.

[@ndog2005]

Great video, Thank you. Sad to see these beautiful old home's gone down hill..

[@melodyalexander805]

I know this house well. I've known several families who have lived in that home. Someone did pass away in that home. He was someone's father, son and someone who has known me practically my whole life. There isn't anything creepy about it. I played in that house, and many fond memories.

[@VanessaBechter]

Thank you for the information

[@janwarriner5037]

A very beautiful old home. I've only watched this video of yours. Hope you'll slow down and capture each room. So many wonderful architectural features were overlooked. Will watch some more of your vids. Maybe you're new at this.

[@Quincygrn]

Awesome find. loved the stairs and old woodwork. Thanks for showing it. Be safe out there.

+Hey Mom Look What I Found!!!! Look at this ! Are you watching her videos , like i did . Her channel is great !

[@VanessaBechter]

Thank you

[@viyau]

House looks to be about 1850

[@ctyankeeinwv]

Really like to watch your videos but one suggestion. Please scan slower and try a wider angle. Would be much more enjoyable if you see more detail and doesn't make you dizzy and you zip through. Slow it down some. Appreciate seeing these old homes and what beautiful places they had once been. Thanks

[@terryrussel3369]

SLOW DOWN, you are inducing motion sickness ! PLEASE ! I'm already green with envy . . .

[@MuiTube]

Good find! So cool

[@VanessaBechter]

[@scarlettwilliams2114]

+Zappy Nickel yeah but I only lived there when I was a baby I don't actually remember it my mom said it was nice though😊

[@Glibzer]

How old are you? Houses dont usually get that decayed in 10 years

[@threeten310]

now jus stay over night uPstairs -Alone I would Apparently sum HomeLess dude did judging by his Cozy /Soiled Bed oh & ya gotta sleep in dudes soiled Bed -that would be the Only Frightening aspect about it

This a beautiful fixer upper with someone imagination can make it beautiful again with the Federal government help oh I am sorry guys the Federal government can’t help because they sent all the money to the Ukrainian government sorry!!!!!!!

[@elmin82]

this house is so vandalized , it's sad

[@VanessaBechter]

+elmin82 Yes...I think it could be restored. It was not as bad as some of the others I have been in.

[@angelafisher5726]

I live in T-county Ohio. Even though this is technically in Port Washinton, if would have a phila mailing address same as we do. This are has A LOT of interesting histor! And there so many houses that have been abandoned

[@TheKam77]

This house was bought and redone You would not recognize the house. An Amish family bought and restored it.

[@lorrainebryan7552]

Please slow your movements. I'd like to watch more but the rapid movement is nauseating.

[@juliekeeney5236]

Something about the windows that gives it a steampunk lemonysnicket kinda feel.

[@sherrieashbrook1234]

It was hard to watch this video because your movement is too fast and abrupt. If you could slow it down and smooth it out it would be easier to watch. I don’t mean to be rude. I really love watching these kinds of videos but it takes a very steady hand.

[@genissefranklin796]

I live in ohio also,but haven't explored any abandoned places since I don't want to get caught for not being allowed in abandoned places that people aren't allowed to enter

[@VanessaBechter]

I don't go in if there is a NO TRESPASSING sign...most of the houses I had permission to go inside :)

[@vanessadarnell3014]

unless it looks like it was built in the eighteen hundreds by the look of it and the staircase is gorgeous the woodwork is beautiful I can't believe they're just leaving a lot like that to leave that walked like that

[@angieh4534]

Why wouldn’t you go into the spooky area? That’s the whole point of these videos.

[@brittanygump4227]

7:50 when you pan the windows upstairs it looked like something walked past 👀😳

[@rickster348]

- what are you, a woman or a mouse?, March right down in that cellar like you own it and take charge!

[@mckalelosey7800]

I don’t think your going to be able to find ghost very well since your going in the day lol

[@buddyanddaisy123]

Why was such a nice house abandoned-has the county been depopulated?

[@torritucker6366]

Gust of wing through camera right before you said someone died in that room.

That house still exist ?

[@veronicaparr6980]

I would love to go thru the home with you and explain the house and basement

[@scarlettwilliams2114]

You have to go outside to get to the basement

[@lewisner]

I was involved in restoring an old railway signalbox years ago and it was in far worse shape than this place. I think it could be restored with a lot of effort and money. It looks like roof is sound , which is half the battle.
