An Abandoned Farm Deep in the Woods | Abandoned Ohio

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Wow, so cool with it snowing! Love the abandoned farms!! Awesome video Once Occupied! :)

[@2manyroberts]

Seriously you are Fearless! Just know that a house with windows out has been stripped for salvage, especially when there are No Supports on the porch and could collapse at ANY time, please be careful and don't get hurt!

[@OnceOccupied]

I agree. It is a balance between adventure and safety.

[@81licker]

I used to be brazen like this when I was young too! Brings back memories. LOL 😀

[@OnceOccupied]

You can still adventure and you will feel as young as you once did. We are far from 25 but feel like we still are. 😜

[@Rjc8888]

Thank you for the awesome work in making your videos. I did subscribe to your channel and I love it. It’s such a waste of these old homes etc. There could have been so much done to save these places but I guess if there were family that they didn’t care what happens after they walk away from it. Thanks again for the great work.

[@OnceOccupied]

Thanks Rick. We feel the same way.

[@tylerjones2695]

Yeah I hate to see all these unique houses falling in or being torn down..architecture was art once..... just pale cookie cutter now...having vids of these old places is most fortunate

[@witchmoon11]

This is awsome! I was born in greenville ohio and lived next to an old farm house in the country. The hous was a very cool underground railroad house. You can pull the shelve out of walls and sneak between the walls! Thank you for doing this! I subbed!🙏✌❤

[@petechman]

I lived just down the street from this place a year ago. I explored it myself a few years ago. It is basically impossible to see from the road during the summer months but fairly obvious during the winter. I believe the driveway used to be shrouded in trees but is completely overgrown now. This tree line still reaches the road. Very cool place and some pretty large out buildings full of cool things to see.

[@Rosethatwantstomove]

What county, I live in Morgan

[@Chrisss2112]

Enjoyed the explore! 😊. I love it that you read the year of the newspaper, very interesting. The snow coming thru the ceiling was pretty cool.

[@waynebender8835]

In the basement that table was a 1950's kitchen table. In the barn the TV was most likely from the late 1950's. From the way they show off the picture tube. As for the mystery boxes with the hole on the side. Inside the top floor of the barn. Most likely are some kind display stands for a store that were repurpose for the barn.

[@Mistilou]

Awesome!! And fyi when you're in the attic and the snow coming through it reminded me of Edward Scissorhands

[@OnceOccupied]

I never thought of that but you are right!

[@rosseganjr9402]

It's very sad this old House got destroyed they picked a good place to build it

[@xplorfeverafoodaffairadventure]

It's a beauty. I like that retro kitchen table. Thumbs r up! TY

[@OnceOccupied]

Thanks!

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Love the retro stuff! :)

[@cathyimain4944]

It must be amazing to see this stuff first hand

[@OnceOccupied]

It is nerve racking, dramatic, exciting humbling, and just plain fun!

[@SteveandLizDonaldson]

Actually it's good you explored it in the winter. In the summer, it would be overgrown (and hard to see) with honeysuckle and ivy. And, based on the stacks of tires, you'd get eaten alive by mosquitoes!

[@OnceOccupied]

Exactly. I love exploring in the winter. So easy to find places and no Mosquitoes or ticks

[@prismstudios001]

...or freaking Yellow Jackets!

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Plus the snow is pretty, nice scenery. :)

[@torritucker6366]

Beautiful In the winter. Those big Barns all the wood. I would like to know how much wood was back then. You either had lots of money or lumber was cheap. Enjoyed.

[@OnceOccupied]

Absolutely. My guess is the word may have been milled right there on the property too.

[@johngrauman4208]

Our country used to have old growth trees. We abuse our resources and do not respect nature

[@beavistechrock]

Somebody pilfered the wood floor. In the one frame where its gone, its either a piece of the tongue side hanging down, or a sliver from a rip saw. Edit bottom left at 2.04

[@ndog2005]

Wow, Great video Admire you for videoing what you could, for house was really unsafe..

[@OnceOccupied]

So glad you enjoyed. The latest videos coming soon are with a new camera!

[@pinacoloda226]

I see the "keep out" sign hardly did the trick😂😂😂

[@jameslatimer1432]

Date and history if you can please makes it much nicer thanks

[@loriestevenson3201]

At 14:44 what you called a big bin with a tree growing out of it is actually the base for a pool /snooker table. The rails across it would support slate that is approx. 18'x4"x2' thick. Leather padding would have wrapped over the edges and the ball return would have been an open rail system or simply just leather net pockets on the corner. Hope this helps.

[@OnceOccupied]

Very interesting!

[@loriestevenson3201]

@@OnceOccupied I recognized it since we used to have one like it. Someone offered uan insane amt of $ for the slate, rails, pockets and art deco leg shrouds. Our frame also had a tree. 😀

[@kaihill6290]

Dude I cant believe no one is talking about the white apparition that showed up in the right hand corner around 4:00

[@sushma6119]

Omg yeah I also saw that

Thanks watched that 5 times,now going try to pause on it,spooooky!

[@stephenstanforth8430]

Ive been there a couple times, live right by it. It’s a great place but definitely not very safe on the second floor

[@OnceOccupied]

Yeah it was definitely a little shaky

[@stephenstanforth8430]

Once Occupied I don’t mean to sound obnoxious but I did send you a dm on instagram and I would love to talk about some of these locations and others I’ve been to that I’d think you’d be interested in

[@OnceOccupied]

Never mind I got it. For some reason it doesn’t show me having anything in it but when I clicked on the inbox it showed up

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Would be awesome to explore. :)

[@jameslatimer1432]

Do you know its history at all build date

[@ObamaTookMyDer]

Been to that house and barn in high school many times to explore. Was in a lot better shape back then.

[@OnceOccupied]

How many years ago?

[@ObamaTookMyDer]

Back around 2013. The barns look the same, but the upstairs and attic room of the house were in a lot better shape. Heard some creepy stuff there too, word is it was haunted, but who knows.

[@ObamaTookMyDer]

There was an awesome abandoned 60’s mid century modern ranch house about a mile away from there that was still fully furnished, but it got torn down about two years back

[@OnceOccupied]

The good ones are harder to find :(

[@cathyimain4944]

Love your videos

[@OnceOccupied]

Thanks 🙏

[@timeflysintheshop]

The old wiring like that is called "knob and tube" wiring. Porcelain tubes go in holes to safely pass wire thru floor joists and wall studs. Porcelain knobs are where the wire changes direction. This type of old wiring was done before the invention of plastic insulated wire. The wire was only wrapped in a type of cloth, so to prevent short circuits, the porcelain knobs and tubes acted as insulators. This is common in houses wired before world war two.

[@Alexi7666]

Those barn beams are worth a small fortune, as is the barn siding.

[@Joquillex]

Is this in Tippecanoe Ohio?

[@CFFarm]

I think upstairs you were to brazen especially were you showed that rotted floor and with the roof having been exposed everything was rotted.

[@cecoya]

That last barn looks like a bunk house if this was a working farm they needed the fireplace to heat as well as cook the food there. Cool explore surprised that some of this is still standing though. lol very sketchy though for walking through. Be safe and have a great day

[@handle2033]

Do you know if it's still standing?

[@handle2033]

I wonder if this house was located in a busy area or in the middle of nowhere.

[@Gypsy839]

You were warned LOL!

[@jamescabral3108]

At 10:31 those could have been analog TV Caseholders. Analog Tv's were much bigger in size comparison to LCD or LED HDTV's. Great Documentary! I just became a subscriber !

[@Alksey_]

👍

[@pbs4535]

In these places I'd take a drone fly through.

[@OnceOccupied]

I am barely capable of flying my drone an open field. 😜

[@Alexi7666]

A lot of work went into building that house. Sad, that the owners just walked away from it.

[@bubbahollingshead1630]

Would love to explore

[@susanbrown4297]

Looks like carnival stuff.

[@OnceOccupied]

I didn’t think about that. Looks like the most plausible answer yet.

[@Skellytone]

I wonder if that 2nd "barn" wasn't more of a carriage house? It being right by the road and filled with tires makes me think it may have been that at one point. Seems like whenever this place was built, the owners were pretty well-off.

[@OnceOccupied]

I didn’t think about that but it does make sense.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

:)

[@louisemissouri4410]

The blue things could be from a carnival fun house or something like that... ?

[@siberiandaddy6065]

barn construction is called " post and beam ". out of favor in late 1800's cheaper to build " stick frame ".

[@OnceOccupied]

I think when I explore places I get amnesia because I can never remember the names of everything. I needed to make an effort to mention construction types more often.

[@johngrauman4208]

We have used all the old timber to make beams anymore

[@jodigould765]

How sad other than $$ why do people let homes go or maybe there’s no family left. Never know

[@wesley5k]

Looked like the wooden floor boards in one room had been salvaged.

[@allin-ro5pv]

Does anyone know what town its in ?

[@handle2101]

Possibly in Miamisburg.

[@Rosethatwantstomove]

I would love to buy an abandoned farm in Southeast Ohio. I live in Morgan county

[@theheartofablackbird2109]

I think maybe those cabs were from a theater? Not sure tho...

[@jadenlynne1857]

I enjoy your videos. But it would be really helpful if you could get a stabilizer for your camera. When you can. It is quite dizzying to watch the vids. Or maybe someone more steady handed could do the filming, while you narrate and show things.

[@kylephillips5017]

I think this whole property is for sale.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

:)

[@kylephillips5017]

I'm not sure what that means.

[@jameslatimer1432]

HOW much

[@OnceOccupied]

Not sure but 1 million should cover it. I take cash 💰 only 😜

[@hopemyers1172]

I know exactly where that farm is I live in southern Ohio.

[@waynecarversr6375]

So can you name the county or more general location? I live close to the Scioto/ Lawrence Co area myself.

[@warnerj08]

Yes, can you give a general location? I live in scioto county.

[@OnceOccupied]

I asked that no one shares any location in public. While you might go there and not vandalize, others may. For that reason anytime someone shares a location I delete the post. I have learned my lesson by sharing locations and then finding out afterwards that people went there and stole and vandalized.

[@waynecarversr6375]

@@OnceOccupied Thats why I ask for general location. I'm 70 and don't drive anymore. No intention to go there, just curiosity. Southern Ohio could be near Cincinnati area or Athens or Pike County for instance. But that's fine, I don't need to know anything more about it. There are a lot of places like that. I've ran across several over the years! They all have a story.

[@OnceOccupied]

Absolutely. Email me at [e-mail] I would love to hear what you could dig up.

[@okiedokey9962]

1998 Newspaper ? Hard to beleive it ended up like this in the last 20 years. I'm guessing squaters were living their since the newspaper and underwear were there. The original owners must've been wealthy. Probably owned all that land. Either way they had some big operation going to have all those out bldgs. Good find !

[@cooldog60]

Nothing wrong with that house a match won't take care of.
