Exploring a jungle ghost town (how people lost everything)

[@bwturbex]

I hope you understand that we never reveal the locations of our explorations and usually try to manipulate the footage in a way that it is harder to pinpoint these places. We are doing this because we want to protect the sites we visit. In the age of social media, such locations get overrun fast, and apart from that, we can't encourage other people to trespass or even steal from abandoned places. This is why comments which reveal locations or simply give too much info about it get deleted automatically. If you know the place and want to discuss details about it in the comments, we would love to read your thoughts (especially if you are a local) but please respect our rules. Thank you.

[@QuietJ0Y]

Thanks for what your team does and for protecting the location coordinates

[@soukthavoneinsisienmay1188]

Thank you for taking us along with you! Worth every moment. Good job guys! 💞

[@lorenzol.8798]

It is fair approach and you have all the rights to ask everyone to respect it, but I think that in most cases it's quite pointless. Foreign people won't travel thousands of km just to vandalize a place, while local people already know its existence. People living "nearby" can easily spot the place, no matter how you manipulate the footage. I live almost 600 km from this town, and it took me about five minutes to figure out which one it was. However as I've already written, your channel your rules. Keep up the good work!

[@GlobetrotterBR]

I'd love to know where those ghost towns are located to read more about the history, but I understand why you don't reveal their names.

[@Mizz.Person]

Agree! Thank you !!!! 😄

[@neoreoscar27]

That ceiling fresco was gorgeous. The devastation to this once beautiful village is heartbreaking. Dankeschön

[@marcellogenesi6390]

I resent the words desolate and abandoned; I prefer; giving back to nature what once was hers, wild life will return in all its glory to this places that are not longer useful to people. The glass is half full, not half empty.

[@kickbiker7920]

I love the fact that you pay so much attention to your choice of music plus the fact the narrator has such a calm speaking voice and often lets the pictures speak for themselves. They're also not afraid to just have the background noise which gives an immersive experience. It's quality film making! Great editing, excellent post-production, brilliant choice of subjects. Finally, the drone footage is an excellent bonus as are the whole crew involved in creating this. This is SO impressive!

Yeh we don't do that tripod stills too often but that place was just perfect for it!

[@elizabethrowe7262]

So interesting the history of these old villages and how devastating it can be when they are damaged by earthquakes. It makes interesting photography capturing how the vegetation takes over and becomes part of the structures but at the same time its saddening to see this place now a ghost town and deserted. Thank you for your video and look forward to more just like this one.

The painting on the ceiling is so beautiful and fantastic! Whoever painted it was as great as the painters of the past like DaVinci and MIchaelangelo. And considering the fact that it was made back in 1932, it can already be classified as historical, vintage or classic painting. It may even be worth a fortune today. I hope that there will be people or organizations that will preserve and take good care of that painting.

[@simplyme7821]

I was born in live in the U.S. but, all of my blood is from Southern Italy. That's where my grandparents grew up. That's where all the Traditions came that I grew up with. We always came together and ate a huge family dinner every Sunday. There was always pounds of spaghetti and meatballs and salad and Italian bread. I think the first solid food I had was spaghetti. I never learned to speak Italian but my grandma spoke broken English and I learned to understand what she was saying. I feel if my family had not all come to America that I would have ended up being some kind of farmer. In America, if a person comes from Sicily and another comes from Italy, the two are not considered the same country. Isn't that interesting. I guess I am Sicilian. Thank you for the beautiful video. Thank you for the beautiful overhead shots. I feel like you showed me a little bit of my family's past. Sincerely, Carmela 💙

[@captainkirk7266]

no you are simply from the us with ancestors from italy.as an south tyrolian i always are amused by reading this bullshit by americans

[@LW-wg4ny]

My Grandparents came to the US from Acerno, Italy. We too had Sunday dinners as you described. And to this day I could eat spaghetti and meatballs every day and never get tired of it. Lol My Grandparents did not teach their children Italian as they were Americans now and so their children spoke English and my Grandparents spoke broken English. I would love to visit their hometown one day.

[@robfellows4096]

When man is gone nature finds a way ..........but sounds like man is finding a way back! Excellent quality visuals and something to think about as well. Love the 'jungle' takeover. And now the world has seen that artist's work in the mansion so well preserved. Many thanks Broken Window Theory! 📸🔦😎

[@loriechilson925]

So bold of you guys to go places where no one dares to go. On the other hand, I am glad you're showing to the world places similar to this town that when no one lives mother nature takes over. Looking from drone's eye view, town is still intact but on a closer look, town revel itself - abandoned. Your narration fits nicely to your low tone voice - adds mystery to the whole content.

[@2bczar4u]

Still by far the best. I really loved the 'jungle walk'. I could just imagine how beautiful it was to live there and how heartbreaking it was to leave. Thank you for doing such a great job of documenting!

[@changeshifter4852]

This one may be your best yet gentlemen. I was born in '69, got my first camera (B/W) at 12 and photographed my first explore with my Grandpa at 14. I haven't been the same since, though now I get out far less. My photographs & memories have helped sustain me in difficult times though, and your videos are so well done they convey the feel or sense of the place as if I were with you. Thank you for using all your senses;) I have no regrets, even the injuries, only that we didn't have today's nifty tools!

You young men do a very good job. The footage and music is very nice and good quality. I dont know why i only just found you. The youtube feeds are so limiting.

[@CousinTito]

Love this! It's hard to think that such an ancient collection of villages had survived there for centuries, only to be forced to flee in the modern age. The old structures were never made to withstand earthquakes and of course the earth itself has changed over the decades. They probably rebuilt since there was no other options. Now that they were forced to resettle (did the government pay them to leave?) I could see why they abandoned everything for a safer region. My parents are from the Philippines and Typhoons, Landslides, Volcanic Eruptions, Earthquakes and Tsunamis destroy whole villages every year. Yet they bury their dead, clean up and rebuild almost on the same spot. Most have nowhere to resettle to, so survival and the vicious circle of deadly nature is in their DNA. I watch your videos because I'm fascinated by these towns on hills or in remote locations dating back to Roman or Medieval times, fortified for safety, and then continued for community. Only natural disaster or the migration to modern cities have vacated them. Now that the world is learning to work remotely, could you imagine how a rebuilt "Stay At Home" town like this could thrive?

[@juliemercer1458]

Wow you guys. This is so much like watching a movie. Your cinematography is just amazing. You could do a whole colander on abandoned Italy. So much beauty in decay and so much history to be told. Sad to see it left to decay, but at the same time if the walls could talk, what stories could they tell? Its funny to hear you guys speak of old west towns. Usually the old west towns were made of wood and brick. Very few made with stone. I guess the area I grew up in could be considered old west as it was once a stop in the pacific railroad. Famous for cattle. The town to the north was helped settled by Frank James brother to famous outlaw Jesse James. Lots of history but nearly all that exciting. Years ago we even had a devastating 6.5 earthquake that brought down several unretrofitted buildings built in the 1920's during prohibition. The interesting thing was once the building were cleared out you could see the old prohibition tunnels that had been sealed off and forgotten about with the end of prohibition. Today new buildings stand in their place many of the old bricks were recycled into the new buildings. I guess everywhere you go that has powerful earthquakes has their own way of dealing or not dealing with the damage.
