Abandoned Wilsie, West Virginia Ghost Town, time capsule house and TV farm | Solo Urbex

[@RobinandCarlJackson]

My mom used to teach in the one room school house in Wilsie, in the 60’s…she said it was the highlight of her teaching career…❤

Each abandoned home, building and or business, was once someone's Dream, so sad

[@indecipherabl3]

So much history, you can see the former residents pictures all over the house. I wonder what had really drove them to leave once and for all...

West Virginia is where dreams go to die. WV is a dead end state without any future. Seriously, if you have dreams and aspirations of any kind stay far away from this dump. - a WV native

Sad to see~ So many pictures and books and family things~ drone is fancy tho thank you for the music and memories

[@bonnieleelee9936]

The town and the music is beautiful and sad. Thanks, so much.

[@indecipherabl3]

Anytime, it’s a shame this place had been given up on. Even though there is a lack of infrastructure, the strong community remains all over the County & State. The stores may be closed but the lovely people still call these places home.

[@thomasschwarting5108]

Thanks for the tour!!

[@indecipherabl3]

Absolutely!! My pleasure.

[@johnanderson7925]

I drove thru there every day for 23years.lot of friends there back then

[@mikefitchNYC1971]

Awesome video!

[@indecipherabl3]

Thanks!!

[@jovanjackson3522]

I know who owns this house. It's my brothers father. I was just there last month. The house down the street is actually his father's father's house if that makes sense.

[@thomasschwarting5108]

Really like your music choice. Quite nice.

[@indecipherabl3]

I really appreciate hearing that, I put a lot of effort into my music choices for these videos and I also try to match the audio with the visuals frame by frame. You made my night!! Happy to hear that you enjoyed :))

[@toddglover1121]

I see that a few structures have been removed since the last time we were there.

[@markfurman4386]

I remember from a writeup that people first moved to this area in the 1600s.

[@indecipherabl3]

I would love to have this write up.

[@markfurman4386]

@@indecipherabl3 Think I got it as a Google search result..I remember it was a page with a lot of text, might have had a few photos as well. 'Wilsie West Virginia', I think, was the search.

[@denismeans2910]

Hard to imagine these places even exist in these eastern regions of the USA. One would think these unused lands would be restored to nature or repurposed as farmland.

[@indecipherabl3]

Nature seems to be taking it back as it is... the flooding in this area can make it unsuitable for farming I would imagine.

[@jamieallen2126]

If anyone sees this, I grew up in Frametown!! Was that old store D.O. Moyers old store??

[@indecipherabl3]

Yes! It was known as DO Moyer's General Merchandise, you can see a receipt from the store in this article below. www.hurherald.com/cgi-bin/db_scripts/articles?Action=user_view&db=hurheral_articles&id=74929

@@indecipherabl3 Thank You, I grew up just a couple of miles up from the Frametown Elementary school!! I am 48 now and I remember stopping in their as a child a few times! I would say the last time I was in there was around 1984-1985!!! I remember I had a good friend that wrecked a car in that area, Kevin Rollyson!!

[@indecipherabl3]

Very cool to know that a local saw my video! It’s evident this had been a lively place to live at one point. You can see people walking these towns as recent as like 2015-2018 on Google Maps. Not to mention, Wilsie is incomplete and a lot of the buildings which had been sinking into the river were demolished. Yes, you have to be careful on these roads. Lots of deer, cow, rocks, ditches etcetera to hit. Some of the rough roads around the New River Gorge national park were more creeks than streets.

[@tinysampson8832]

Is this in Braxton or Gilmer county

[@stephenbrand5661]

Who cuts the grass at these abandoned places??

[@indecipherabl3]

Lots of grass making it's way around the house and river particularly...

All of America in 20 years or less unless something changes. When the jobs go away so do the people. If this depresses you don't ever go to Detroit.

[@adamc9834]

Really sad

[@indecipherabl3]

I'm really just happy that these buildings are still standing to this day, they were in much better shape than Exchange, West Virginia from my other video.

[@allencottrill665]

Interesting but Wilsie is far from abandoned that’s just one property lmao

[@indecipherabl3]

My own actions in this state led me to debt.

[@chrisholcombe137]

This is the American dream ?

[@indecipherabl3]

Unfortunately, I believe that flooding and a lack of infrastructure like new bridges being built towards the cities and larger communities and avoiding these smaller places, I'd imagine that's what had really forced people out of these towns.

[@urbansecrets5561]

This is beautiful place... Wish I could be exploring with you brother

[@indecipherabl3]

We have to map out our next adventures, Winter is the time to get drunk and look at some satellites. Love you brother!!
