Fun abandoned house exploration…. Not our usual explore - and note: we have permission to explore these old places, please don’t trespass! More backstory - the house, contents of the house, and land were sold to a new owner. It seems as though this house and everything in it will continue to rot into the ground. We definitely wanted to document it and the life within before it’s all gone….

If she had a social life at church, an occasional visitor, and went to town at times and visited, she actually did pretty well overall. She had her music, garden, Bible, and was surrounded by Creation.

I bought land with an abandoned trailer on it. I went through the trailer and kept what I wanted, recycled and burnt the rest. I knew the good, the bad, and the ugly about the people who lived there by the time I was finished. Robert had permission from the current owner to go through this house and we have a new respect for a remarkable woman because of his video. There was no disrespect, only admiration for a past life.

Exactly - this land and house has been sold to a new owner and it seems as if everything will be left to rot into the ground - so we documented it before it’s gone completely….

I once had a friend like this woman. She looked like a blond Viking (German descent). She didn't have the greatest life growing up and was very independent. She lived in a run down shack but took no handouts. She raised chickens, hunted, fished, and grew vegetables. Her only downfall was drinking and poor choices in men. But she had a good heart. Once she ran out of firewood to heat her house in Minnesota and was blocked by a blizzard with no electricity or phone so she burned all her furniture and she made it through.

Hi guys I know you don't ever take anything away from any of the houses you explore but in this case I wish one of you could have taken her diary just to make sure that it survives and doesn't rot away with everything else. As it stands that diary is the only tangible evidence of this woman's existance.

When i was young (about a half century ago) my Aunt used to tell us stories about houses in the woods and how that when a young couple would get married they wouldcmove into them for 1) newly wed privacy 2) they literally didnt own anything but what clothes they had and these houses came with most bare neccess to make it a home Some of these houses were built by some family member who upgraded to a bigger one since most were one room shacks but it did allow for the young couple to save and work for something better Watching this reminded me of her stories for some reason

That was an emotional roller coaster ride. What an amazing woman. She obviously loved music. Looks like she played music for the Lord while on Earth. No doubt she's doing the same now but with a Heavenly audience instead of the forest creatures. They must have missed her after God finally called her home. Thank you for ending it with laughter. I wonder who moved the dress? LOL. That was great. Thank you!

Would the new owners allow that little diary to be held by the historic society? I suppose her life seems sad to us, but I suspect she felt happily independent and liberated in her very own space. Imagine it when the pianos and pump organ were played. The clothing doesn't say "sad" either!

Did she build this house from the ground up with the old pre existing house still there? I have so many questions, is she buried on the grounds there or in a local cemetery? Where did her Parent's go?? I know I'll stop there, please give a little more information on this mysterious lady please please, i feel i strange connection to her for some strange reasons. Thank you for being respectful of her in your video. Hugs from wisconsin as always

I can tell by the brick walls of this home that it is not an older home, like what is on the old Byrd Farm, since they have used cinder block brick homes for many years, so 20th century for sure. It seems that the cost of having it all removed is higher than just waiting to have it all fall over and then get rid of it. In either case, Looks like it was a family that lived there at one time, the Old lady, and possibly her family?? Interesting that it looks as if the lady did not have a very high education but did whatever she could to make a home and keep her from the weather outside. Amazing the thing one can do for just pure survival. I hope she had SOME love in her life, cause it sounded from the diary that she was very abused by her own father, when young., Until she just couldn't tolerate it anymore. With all the piano's looks like she had a love of music, possibly to get her mind out of the abuse she had gone though, her little piece of heaven, as it were. I hope you can find out more about her and her life. Thank you for sharing this.

How fascinating. That diary is worth exploring. The house seems as if the lady was taken, maybe to a hospital where she wasn't able to return to her home. There may not have been any relatives or friends to look after her place. It's amazing that she built it herself. Her musical instruments mean she must have enjoyed playing them. That gown is mighty fancy. Maybe it was worn to church or to a special function. It's a wonder that it was left hanging by itself inside. It's more a wonder that it made its way back inside. That dress looked like it was in perfect condition, no spider webs, hanging nicely. Hmmmmm.

Friends & I took an Alaskan cruise, followed by an RV trip around the interior. At one stop, we took a speed boat tour that culminated in a stop at an old trappers cabin. Once a year he'd travel to town to sell his pelts, tie one on, & return home. But one year, after his drink-fest, he died, leaving his cabin just like he expected to return home. The boat owners were allowed to retain ownership of the cabin, & now gives ticket holders the chance to see this old hermits lifestyle.---I do wish there was more information given about your lady hermit. Who/what/when. Where is she now, why her possessions weren't dispersed after she left it, etc.
