Exploring an Abandoned Government Office Building (CAUGHT)

[@UnderwaterFlyZone]

Unreal bro. Got my adrenaline pumping😂😂 thank you for your work

[@zesty2023]

Good on you for managing to keep the camera on during the confrontation.

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

Yeah I was just thinking "there's no way imma stop recording and let this random guy try something sketchy" and I was seconds away from Turing and bolting a time or two as well.

[@redneck8831]

⁠If he isn’t a cop. I’d told em fuk off an went back to my car

[@josephconsoli4128]

OMG Jared! So glad it didn't go worse. You have guts! I commend you for the passion you have for what you're doing. No risk, no gain!

[@kelleyyetter6364]

I was nervous for you when the truck pulled up. love the content, thank you for the sacrifice. videos like this will keep history alive.

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

Yep, videos featuring history and becoming history 👍thanks

[@sdjslkdjlsskldjslkdjsl8262]

Feeble mortal, long have I served as the grim sentry for this moldy abandoned building. You wish to challenge me?

[@ryanbounds6504]

Was in there a few months ago and didn’t have no issues .. so my guess would be the scrapers got dudes attention! Definitely enjoy the content though man . Try the ice tower if you haven’t already !

[@uninhabitedexplorations]

how did u get in with the cams outside?

[@rbryant100]

That’s the old Highlands Baptist Hospital. There was a tunnel that connected to the police dept. I grew up in Louisville, there’s some cool urban areas , but over the years some of these places have been demolished, such as the Charlestown Ammunition plant, which was massive. In my younger years, and when I was about your age, I used to sneak around the infamous Waverly Asylum. That was before it become a tourist attraction. One night I stumbled upon a trailer that served as the security guard hangout. I went the other way fast. I liked waverly better then- dark, decrepit, full of mystery. Now, not so much.

[@WillPhoneman]

Wow! Cool explore and an insane ending! I don't know if I'd have approached the dude when he came tearing up the road in his truck, but you handled it well!

[@zardan00]

Learnt about you from the Chilling Scares' video. Been watching yours for the whole night already, just can't stop. You're a very nice person to listen to

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

Thanks, never liked how my voice sounds, glad someone else does 😂

[@JarethUrbex]

Glad you made it out, man. I've had my "getting caught" moment as well, and it never feels good. Makes a hell of a story, though. Yeah, this whole trip has definitely had a different feel to it overall. I hope you'll keep up the good content.

[@theguradien]

i wonder why the security guy is not worried about the other people being in there? i could tell he was not very happy

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

Those other guys may have been the reason he was already there I figure.

[@markstanley3534]

They aint scrappers they are thieves

[@thebrokeskill]

Another Word for thieves

[@lilrip7532]

You completed the mission (get footage).. so that's a win. That place was a great find. Appreciate the effort you put into bringing us these videos. Keep it up and be safe out there man. 😎👌

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

Yeah, it was an even mixture of relief and trauma at the same time.

[@dannyhoward3437]

I’m looking forward to your prison escape videos.

[@nursefuzzywuzzy]

A fence does not constitute no trespassing. A sign of No Trespassing however does. I would have walked away from Mr. overcompensating with his truck.

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

I was about to take off running a time or two until I realized the situation was de-escalating.

[@DaydreaminNerd]

That was real quick thinking that saved you there, that was almost more intense than Wichita. Glad you got out safe Jeff 😮‍💨

[@Central..stacksz]

You deserve more views bro that had me tripping fr

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

Thanks bro, this is easily one of the best adventures I've filmed through the years.

[@danieI.999]

love the vids 🔥

[@uninhabitedexplorations]

at 19:46 the big thing on the left are cams, they have 24 hour security. i actually just walked up to the building and the camera rotated to me. place is cooked

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

I saw all of them when I did a little scouting drive by the previous night to try to gauge how I was gonna do it, I knew it was a bad idea 😂

[@uninhabitedexplorations]

@@JaredCokerUrbex lmao on the right side of the building there is a little spot that the cameras can’t see where the fence is bent back. i was gonna go in but i was gonna risk it bc louisville presses charges on everything.

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

@@uninhabitedexplorations One of the most insanely lucky things that's ever happened to me that I never even talk about is how I just so happened to jump the fence and run over to the ONE PLACE on the entire building that had an open window within reach. I didn't even know if I'd have a way in initially, I just got insanely lucky that it was there and that's I'd just happened to wander to the right spot so I wouldn't be exposed too long 😂

[@uninhabitedexplorations]

@@JaredCokerUrbex LMAOO ik i saw that. good shitt

[@uninhabitedexplorations]

@@JaredCokerUrbex aye if you ever near evansville IN we could do a collab. i’m takin a trip to nashville soon.

[@ExploringWithBenandSam]

I got too old to jump fences anymore lol. But yea getting caught, even when a lot of times it isn't anything serious (yelled at, told off, a warning, ect), it still is something we avoid at all costs if possible so, but shit happens.

[@jay.doesnotexist]

Bro pulled up in the truck way too fast to just lean out the window and scold you for jumpin fences lmao

[@alectrona6400]

I live in this city and I feel bad for the old electronics in there, I mean screw those damn printers but there had to be some vintage computers in there. ;_; Also, yeah, would be nice if the city could stop spending money on it, it's in such disrepair.

[@danihinkle9387]

There's no way I could have gave in to that conversation. Bravo for you haha.

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

Hey it wasn't me, it was my alter ego, Jeff Jefferson doing the talking 😂 but in all seriousness, the whole time I was debating in my head whether I should just take off running or not.

[@C4Explore]

Damn...awesome explore with a nailbiter ending! I saw your thumbnail and assumed it was a hospital; turned out it had been back in the day. Those pamphlets were definitely in Cyrillic; the Russian (or Ukrainian) alphabet. Love how you *pretended to turn off your gopro; I'm guessing the guy was private security, and thought you were one of the scrappers...they must've had eyes on the dudes with the saw. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and be careful out there! 👍😁

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

He must've been, I don't see how he could've just been right there, he had to have been monitoring those cameras, maybe those previous scrappers alerted him too.

[@coreturkoane5570]

The language is Russian

[@zardan00]

9:44 Yeah, that's Russian. Saying "how to live with hepatitis"

[@cheyennetee]

Hi, I saw that you are from the KC area. By any chance do you take recommendations? Just wondering because there are some really cool abandoned buildings around Leavenworth, KS.

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

Hey, yeah I'm from around KC and still live there, I've had people recommend me places in the past when I was more active around here.

[@cheyennetee]

Okay, nice! I was just wondering because there is an abandoned school and mall here in Leavenworth and both have been left vacant for years. The mall opened up in 1967 and I think it closed down in the early 2000’s. The school is called Sumner Elementary and was a segregated school. It closed not long after Brown vs the Board of Education. Both are very rich in history and it would be cool to see a video of the two!

[@paulshearon1897]

Loved the NIN intro

[@sharonmenzel7791]

Welcome to KY, from your subscriber in Frankfort, ky, sorry we gave you a hard time

[@megiloth3634]

Well now, that'll get your blood pumping!! I think you foreshadowed everything when you saw the scrappers and said that's how would may be caught. Because truck guy at the end asked who your buddy was, he was obviously on their trail and caught you. You were careful as always, but were caught because of other schmucks who didn't have the common courtesy to video their scrapping activities! oh yeah, when you did the over the edge shot...I got the woo-woos, I think that's the technical term 😳

[@coreymcgreal6091]

Awesome video definitely have to watch out for the crazy people here in Louisville since everyone can carry a gun you don’t know who you can run into I want to start exploring here in Louisville like you have but I don’t trust the people or the cops here

[@cryptiedan]

Its not the guy in the truck's building either. Mr. Trying to be important and teach a lesson. Why one earth did you thank him when he cursed at you multiple times? He's got no life. A power trip type person.

[@lc8339]

the guy at the end not even introducing himself as security or owner of the building is a big red flag. that's like someone pulling you over on the road and pretending to be a cop with 0 proof of actually being one. its also pretty odd that he is saying that he had you on camera in the building, and that he was sure that it was you, and not scappers or homeless. also, comparing a mulit-year abandoned office building to a house that someone lives in is crazy. no shit its gunna be a problem if someone breaks into your house, but if someone breaks into a vacant and decayed abandoned building, whats the problem? are you gunna break it more then it already is? for future reference, you could look up your laws for recording, depending on the state, you may not need the other persons permission to record them. in Kansas, where that took place, you weren't required to turn off ur gopro. kansas is a 1 party state, so you had all the right to record the guy in the car without his consent

[@Jason-rn4jk]

Those pamphlets are Russian and read “life with chronological depression” but don’t quote me on that. Жизнь means life pronounced zhee zen

[@Warrior_Saint88]

That person was probably a security guard.

[@Keepcalm-j7b]

Next time man don't engage in conversation remain silent

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

I was about to just run until I saw it de-escalating

[@Keepcalm-j7b]

@@JaredCokerUrbex yeah hard to tell if it was an undercover at first, but then all the more reason to not talk

[@garrygrapenuts6137]

Yo, I love your videos. I live in Montana and there’s a couple places up where I live and You’re welcome to come up here and check them out.

[@JaredCokerUrbex]

I'd love to be able to explore in every state some day.
