"Today's story is about the legacy of a gentleman named Alex, a devoted husband and father, whose life was tragically cut short in an unforgiving event.
Alex grew up in the 1950s, graduated high school in the 1960s, married his wife Jennifer, and had kids. Following high school, he became a pilot for the US AIRFORCE and later owned his private airport in the backyard of this house. In 2005, Alex took off in his airplane and had an emergency landing, but it wasn't on the runway. It was in a field in his backyard. Alex was killed when the plane's engine stalled just after takeoff, and it crashed into the woods about 100 yards from his home. Rescue officials used a crane to retrieve the aircraft stuck 40 feet up in a pine tree. Unfortunately, Alex passed away, leaving behind his wife and children and ..For unknown reasons, the family left this house behind.
Alex's love for flying was only surpassed by his love for his family. But sometimes fate has a cruel twist in store for us all. It's a very heart-wrenching turn of events; Alex met his untimely demise in a plane crash, not in the far reaches of the sky, but in his backyard, shattering the tranquility of the family estate and leaving behind a void that could never be filled." I didn't realize this happened until reporting the news on this video, and my jaw hit the floor when I found out the story. Now, let's step inside; maybe we can all figure out why the family abandoned this house.

I can see why his family left the house after he was killed - horrible memories basically in their backyard.

[@playhooky]

You should announce yourself (as I've seen some explorers do) saying something along the lines of "Hello, if anyone is here, I'm just exploring & taking pictures of abandoned houses & don't mean to scare of harm anyone!" & repeat it every few minutes. But no way in hell would I go in an abandoned property alone; I'd have someone with me & 1 or 2 others on the perimeter of the property somewhere on guard for any sign of trouble!

[@youwish378]

Nope I've been thinking about this ever since I seen his first video Me personally I would walk in as if I owned the place and say what has happened to my house ! WHAT HAS HAPPENED to MY HOUSE ! I would go in very loudly and very vocal as if it was my own home, And if I ran into someone I would be very brut Asking WHAT are you doing here you are trespassing ! That would automatically scare someone away or try to get away which would be a good thing If it happened to be a person who owns the property Then there would be no doubt about it when they come back and say excuse me you're in my house lol Then he could just introduced himself and apologized that he was just trying to be safe with saying them things But he needs to go in and start being very vocal as if it's his home WHAT HAVE YOU DONE to MY HOME It could simply mean that it was his home referred to him to to go explore It makes me feel uneasy when he goes in timidly If people are going to go into homes to explore they need to be in control of the situation not the other way around Saying that he's only there to explore would make them feel Superior and telling him to get out and leave He should have left a light on whether it burned down or not he should have left a light on so that when anyone came back to squat they would know that the place is being looked after or that someone is coming around.

[@denisem3587]

@RangerRickTV, that was not an Alexa. I have the exact home alarm system and it was saying that someone opened door 3!!!! Stay safe out there Rick. Someone opened one of the doors in that house when you were there. 😮😮😮

[@playhooky]

What is the name of that alarm system please? I'm considering getting one.

[@denisem3587]

[@dannypalazzo1969]

Wasn't there 3 locked doors🤔. Interesting.

[@denisem3587]

@@dannypalazzo1969 It said entrayway 3 open. It specifies each entryway or window with a number and announces any change/movement of the door or window when it is not armed. The system would have blared the moment you opened a door or window. Or close one for that matter.

[@jaassanglee617]

I'm pretty sure I saw this on another Explorer's page, and the house looks so different now. I would definitely say there's someone living in there! Great job!!

0 seconds ago I watched a video from another KZbinr with the same story plot of the pilot crashing in back yard and same picture of front of mansion but 2 totally different houses inside your video seems to fit more with the actual look and size of mansion than these other youtubers thanks for sharing

[@leah0266]

I believe it was BigBankz video but his was about a co-pilot that died with 1 of his sons in a plane crash he was driving . The wife & other son left their home cause she couldn't afford the mortgage & just took a few belongings leaving everything from clothes, shoes , jewelry & all furniture .

[@StraightOutOfGeorgia]

You had me scared for ya!! Love watching and learning the history of these abandoned houses… Thank you ❤

[@TrashorTreasure-ie3sz]

Oh wow Rick, that was awesome, very spooky but awesome. Now I’m wondering does someone live behind that locked door? I say yes!!! Boy that scared me me when that machine said door 3 is ajar! Great job Rick!❤

[@Jakee6.0]

We need to know what’s behind that door Rick ! Don’t leave us hanging. Get a few people and go back ! How crazy would it be if that door just happens to be unlocked when you go back

[@danwiegelman3443]

I would love a part 2 on this home. Thanks for sharing this great video.

[@margiepelcman9837]

I had to keep reminding myself that you survived that explore because I was watching the video, to get through the video (does that make sense?) talk about hyperventilating!! I was right there with ya!! Now I gotta go take my Ativan!😂 😂 Good Video!!

[@slow71971]

Mr.Pilot let you know of his presence...

[@normanfletcher8332]

What a Gorgeous house, yes sad memories, still shock to see leaving. Wow, heard the audio, smart to leave..

[@cher128bx]

Hoping there's a part two. Did you check at the town hall for records on this house? How could there be water and power still connected? Nothing adds up. At least the sheriff's department should be notified so that the place could be searched and the puzzle concerning this house solved. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@shannonspage9360]

If the utilities are on that means someone is paying for it, obviously the owners of the property. It will keep the heat going so pipes don't freeze during the winter and the sump pump running so water doesn't flood the basement, if there is a basement. Perhaps making the police aware to possible squatters, they could notify the owners to find out for sure or to at least make them aware to possible uninvited activity on the property.

[@charlottemiller961]

Are there 2 houses on this property? BigBankz & Silent Hills Explorations did videos of this house and it looked the same on the outside,, but on the inside to the house that you showed.. Each of the houses they showed looked identical to the other on the inside of the house & on the outside. So I thought that maybe your video is the second house on the property if there is another house. The house that you explored was so beautiful and looked much grander than the house they showed. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

[@otooj2008]

I wonder this too...I hear there are 2 HOUSES but perhaps not on the same compound? Either way, the Drone view of this doesn't match the interior...& that plane crash used as reference was not needed

[@Christina-rt9vc]

Maybe showing information regarding the purpose of and use of the home prior to recording this and the other 2 videos referenced in this post. Other videos or video relations to this home that had been advertised?

[@Christina-rt9vc]

If so, for movie or music purposes?

[@Christina-rt9vc]

Used video equipment available for sale?

[@ShotgunStanley-AmericanCouture]

BigBankz explored the mother's home which is on the same property

[@AngelsWings.]

Beautiful home! It's a shame that it will be demolished. But I was a little nervous for you being in there! Please, if you do a Part 2, bring someone will you. I don't think it's safe for you to be there alone. The people that live there are probably harmless, but with the way the world is today you can't be too sure! 😊

[@mitzihidy7292]

Big Bankz Posted a video of his exploration of this house 5 months ago. Looks same from outside, but much different on the inside. Either way, they are both excellent explores. Yours had me all wound up. I was afraid someone was in there,waiting to jump you ! Be careful and safe !

[@ShotgunStanley-AmericanCouture]

BigBankz, although he didn't specify this, actually explored the mother's home next door but for some reason he showed the outside of this the house and the inside of the mother's house

[@leah0266]

He did another house but a different pilot . The 1 BigBankz did the pilot died with 1 of his sons in the plane he was flying but wasn't on the home property . The wife & other son left cause she couldn't afford the mortgage that was left & I believe his life insurance expired before his death for her to receive it to continue the payments . It was a totally different house .

Thanks for pushing through for our entertainment. Well, done

[@maryannbeatty8473]

Why would you demolish that gorgeous home!

Hi RangerRick. You really need to make a part two of this abandoned mansion and see if you get into that one locked door but also have a friend go with you

[@rogerbrendabowman4808]

If you are afraid get out!! Follow you instincts. You should have had 1 Other person with you. It’s interesting but risky. Can’t understand why someone hasn’t bought it and made a home. !,, I would love to have lived there 30 years ago. It would be a job to keep it up.

[@yunglamonica4504]

what a beautiful home

[@LesMorrisracing]

Hard to believe all of this stuff was left behind?

[@mistyvideotaped]

That would be really hard to abandon that house if I had lived there. I’m glad this one didn’t leave any photos behind. Don’t get me wrong, I’m curious to look through them when they are left but it’s just odd how some just freely leave them. And definitely suspicious with the door having a brand new shiny lock on it. Too bad you don’t have one of those thin pinhole cameras to slip under the door crack 😁 Great video and looking forward to watching more.

[@LynnReed-n7g]

Not everything is perfect, but it's so sad how people just abandon their own homes 😞

The memory of him probably was too much for his family to handle so they left the house 🏡 behind that just My thoughts

[@thesnapaschke6838]

I don’t know why these homes aren’t put back on the market. Gee where I live realities and Contractors are buying up everything in sight. It’s a buyers market, take it that they can resale at an extravagant price.

[@teresastommel6367]

I'd love to buy that home & fix it up, its beautiful, its pretty decent home. You might be right with those doors jammed that ccould be blocks to keep you out so you don't catch'em. Kinda weird he crashed in his back yard. Now me, If that was my husband that happened to, I couldn't leave. Id stay & raise the kids in their home. I love the glass french doors. . Its very nice. I hope you do a part 2 as well. Next time take a friend with you. For just in case. ☺️. Be careful stay safe! Thank you for sharing. ☺️🌹🥀🌹⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@debbiemiller7462]

That is a beautiful house. If someone is squatting maybe do a straightening up. LOL Don't think they would come out for fear of being discovered. LOL Might be wise if you do have someone else with you when exploring for safety reasons.

[@twistedtypos2029]

I adore the furniture. It's just the antique/vintage I like.

[@marksears1124]

Family must be wealthy if they didn't need the money from selling it.

[@shannonspage9360]

So if someone in the family is living in the house why would you continue to explore? Unless they got permission to be inside the residence and to look around, but besides that you shouldn't keep looking around if you feel someone is living there.

Rick.you do a great job This is a great house You should have someone with you

[@thestars386]

He was with someone. There was someone behind that door and plus the spirits.

[@PiscesPixie3]

I have an alarm in my house and the system self checks minimum of every hour whether its armed or not. If everything is working, then you get no alerts. If a sensor is malfunctioning (or batteries are dead or dying) then when it self checks it will say which zone is not working every time it self checks until you fix it and clear it. Thats probably what whatever system that is, was doing. If you would have stuck around for another hour you would have heard it announce the same issue again. So mystery may be solved. Maybe. lol. The bank probably left the system on and then disconnected the phone, disabling the outside connection. But it would still be monitoring whether set to armed or not. Your feeling of not being alone could be the pilot watching you. If there is such a thing who knows what a spirit is thinking or what there awareness is of even the condition of their house is? ;-) As far as why electric is still on there's two possibilities. 1. There are solar panels still working as someone else suggested. Some rooms don't work because the light bulbs are simply dead ! 2. The mortgage was still so large the family chose to give the house back to the bank and walk away. The bank may have chosen to leave the power on to keep sub pumps in the basement functioning to prevent flooding the basement with groundwater and destroying the foundation and also creating a mold issue. Happens alot when banks don't think of that. Houses can sit in foreclosure for many years before the bank does much with them. Just inefficiency by employees. The bank probably had the estate sale to clear out what the family left when the foreclosure was fresh. There could be more valuable stuff locked away by the bank itself in that room, that didn't sell, until they deal with it. Several employee changes later, it's forgotten. Door might also be locked because there are important mechanical stuff for the house they don't want intruders to screw with. Usually multiple furnace systems in a house that size, so several locked rooms maybe. I used to flip houses before retiring and dealt with foreclosures often. One last emotional thing. If it was my husband that died there Id never want to leave in case he was stuck there. Unless the kids couldn't deal with it. They'd have to come first. If hubby was the breadwinner its a good possibility they couldn't pay the mortgage without him. Sad. Why leave so much behind? Downsizing to fit a new budget. If your walking away from the house and can't fit everything where you're moving, why care if it's left there for someone else to steal or deal with? Hard to even function when theres so much to deal with.

[@MontanaKat1912]

It's a shame to see these houses taken by nature. I wish they could use these for low income housing, shelters.

[@SmokingFox420]

i don't understand why someone that is squatting doesn't clean.

That buzzing is the timer on the muliple plug in outlet. My Dad has timers in a couple rooms in his house. That is strange that someone would set up timers and have the running tablet. Maybe one of the pilots kids came back home to live

[@aliciawatkins8894]

I wonder who pays the electric bill..Does anyone know what year the crash happened?

[@redneckbryon]

You know a house can't just have some power, it either has power or it doesn't. You can have breakers turned off or fuses pulled, but there's still power. When a house still has power personally, I don't consider them abandoned, since somebody is still paying the bills. 22:34, I think the door goes to the room at, 14:50. Most of the bedrooms upstairs did have second locks.

It looked like they may have had solar panels from the electric meter set up outside. If they did that may be why the electric is still on. If there is no bill each month maybe no one thought to have it turned off. I have solar and have no bill. Maybe they do too.

Rush Hour is a French comedy. I was 12 I had a French friend in school sometimes go to his house to eat. lol I wasn't a popular kid so I had to take my friends were I could get them.

Nice job I liked the tour of the house. I had a 14 year old friend who used to explore abandoned houses he would sneak his grandpas hand gun out of his drawer and take it with him for protection.

The utilities are likely on to keep the heat running in the winter to prevent pipes from freezing and to keep any sump pumps running to prevent flooding of the basement, if there is one. The lamp he mentioned as buzzing was plugged into a timer, perhaps they have the lights turn off and on at different times to make it look like the owner is still there.
