Once out of every THREE YEARS they do a home visit!? That’s an awfully long time between checking on someone.

It may be a case of him asking them not to come. A friend of my grandpa's was very stubborn and repeatedly asked his home care nurses to stop "bothering" him. They weren't allowed to stop going all together, but they scaled back to once per year. Maybe he was in good enough physical shape to only require a visit every 3 years.

[@CharlesFreck]

Yeah, at that point it really is just coming to collect the body and inform any next of kin that he's died, not trying to actually make sure he's okay. Fact is, if someone doesn't want to be bothered, you shouldn't bother them. Let them fade away in peace.

So he's not an animal guy... (Edit: K, so after some research I was able to find out more about this house and stuff. From what I could find this house did in fact have more people who lived there which explains some of the beds. Anyways aperantly Gordon's whole family lived here, his mother Esther (who actually owned the house), father Author, sister Dorthy, and Brother Donald all lived in that house together. Esther was born in 1893 and went to the Moody Bible School Institute of Chicago, in the beginning of the video you can actually see the diploma in one of the rooms. So the rest is really up to (factual) interpretation, my opinion is formed but what other articals said while combined with my own opinion. I feel like Jake din't give that much background this video for that reason, its sorta up to you to decide based on the information we already know. The family was just one of those photography family's so they took pictures of almost everything, they were also very musical family with once a piano in the living room of their home, with several records players around the house,one floral record player actually is still there in one of the rooms. Eventually i'm pretty sure everyone moved out starting lives of their own, leaving Gordon alone in the house. I assume he just never had the chance/didn't want to move out all the old bed frames that slowly piled up and got replaced over time. Contrary to what many believe Gordon isn't really all that crazy, as he grew older he most likely developed dementia or something along the lines of that, the many pictures of dead animals he took probably were either animals he found killed in his yard, or animals he considered to be "intruders." From other pictures on other sites taken around 2012 the house looked much better, objects still remained either in their original positioning or at least neater places than they do now. There was actually an old rusty car hidden in some brush. On doors and fences there were messages telling short little stories of the Lee family's "adventures." The overall condition of the house was incredibly better then what it is now. Looking at some of the objects in the house it looked like it could have been abandoned anywhere from the early 50's all the way to the late 70's. I hope this helped some curious people!)

[@LilRing]

Thanks

[@FlyingSavannahs]

Thanks for the informative background. The chaos of the house caused by others can get projected onto Gordon as his chaotic state of mind. Can't do that! As for the animals, it's not unusual to see collections of dead animals whose pelts have value that may have been recovered from traps live or dead, mangled or unhurt, or brought to the house by a dog. Sure, Gordon may have some socialization quirks and/or mental health issues, but that doesn't merit calling everything creepy.

The second anything is removed it goes from exploring to looting. Explore, but don't take.

[@GlorianaLovejoy]

This was definitely a fascinating exploration, but I guess I just feel sad seeing the majority of people jumping directly to the most negative conclusion. More than anything else, I'm seeing a case of extreme social isolation here. Notice the paper with the birthdays, this man wrote "Girls I got a crush on". Really think about that for a moment. Does that sound like the words of a psycho, or does it sound more like the words of a very lonely man who probably didn't socially progress much further than high school? This all strikes me as the remnants of a man who was stuck on the outside looking in, who spent his time comforting himself with fantasies of social interaction & sure, even girlfriends. Nothing you showed suggested sexual violence toward women, and those letters appeared to be one-offs. A lot of isolated people do these sorts of things (to this very day) as a passive & secure way to interact without risking too much emotionally. TV personalities become friends in their minds, but it's so rare for it to escalate beyond that. It's so much more common than you might think (and as an aside, my older bro took umpteen million pictures of Connie Selleca off the TV in the early 80s because there were no posters of her. That's what we did in olden times, it was very common ;) It might be heartbreaking & sad, but not a true threat to anyone. Even the dead animal photos. Wealthy hunters have the same types of photos, only they're 'tastefully shot' and all that. Of course I can't say for sure if Gordon was a dangerous man or not, but I honestly don't see a lot of evidence for it here. If you just research the behaviors/lifestyles of severely socially isolated folks, then watch this video again, I think you might find it much less terrifying. I'm sorry if that came off as lecturing, I genuinely don't mean to sound too harsh. I've just done a lot of work with the elderly, many of them all alone in poor living conditions, so it's a topic close to my heart, that's all. I've seen too many folks harmed by rumor & neighborhood gossip just because they were eccentric, different, or suffering mental illnesses which manifested in peculiar but ultimately harmless behaviors. I completely understand why these finds are exciting, and why it can be a mysterious adventure. I just hope people might really take a critical look before deciding for sure someone was bad or deviant. A lot of these folks quietly build a fantasy world for themselves because they simply never found their place in the real one, you know? Nothing to be afraid of. If you read all of that 'KZbin Dissertation', I thank you. Peace out, you guys (and I still think the BSF channel is brilliant :-)

[@BurningRangers]

Very good assessment. Couldn't have said it better myself. He either passed away or is now living in an assisted living facility somewhere. Judging by his age in that photo and when it was taken, if he is still alive he'd be in his 80's. Obviously did not have any close family or friends given all his possessions were just left to rot. Someone would have put his stuff into storage or at worst donated somewhere had he had any family that visited him much. That lady in the recording was probably some social worker checking in on him.

[@rayin114boonith]

After watching the video I was left spending most of the night being a little distraught by what I saw, but after reading your comment I do not find it as scary.

[@bellebslife6504]

This was probably his parents home that was left to him and he probably lived in it his whole life. Due to his mental state, perhaps his siblings paid for the taxes and bills for him, so he could stay there. An agency had come to check on him and his mental health every 3 years per the recording. I'm guessing that was just one agency. I'm sure he would have had other interactions with mental health or social workers much more frequently, especially if he was receiving financial and medical aid. I didn't see any mattress in the front room for that bed frame. Usually when someone dies in their bed, the mattress is removed and disposed of properly, especially if the person has been dead for awhile or there is bodily fluid. Just a weird place all together.

Plenty of animals kill for sport, fun, territory, mating, etc. My neighbors keep ducks and I aint even in the country. We have killed raccoons, squirrels, rats, gophers, moles, spiders, snakes, and wasps. I have taken pictures sometimes as evidence for record keeping. Im shocked how many people are ignorant of nature and how the real world works, but not really with all these psychos wearing masks.

Autistic man left alone in family house for 40 years does weird obsessive stuff. It's not much of a story. The fact that he sort of un-emotionally documented foxes getting into the coop where he kept his pet ducks really REALLY points to some sort of empathy/identification disorder like autism. Having a case worker checking in is also a good indication that he wasn't just a shut-in but actually had mental issues of some description.

@@davidkronegold5600 Not to sound like a curmudgeon ("Kids today, wrecking everything!"), but I do find it's often teenagers and young adults doing a lot of vandalizing of abandoned places. I think it's a feeling of immortality, a rejection of old, rotting places. A rejection of death, because there's little sense of their own mortality at that age. And there's the age old rejection of authority and rules. In such a place, no one is saying "Don't smash that wall!" so they can indulge their baser impulses and feel like they struck back at the world and got away with it, which is a wonderful feeling.

Really hoping for someone to one day uncover the history of this man. He had a life, a livelihood, he woke up and had a routine just like us. How did his home end up this way? Where is he now? How does a house even become abandoned to this degree? Surely it has to be from a sad cause.

[@JDSly1]

"Down to the Waterline" by the band Dire Straits (from their self-titled 1979 debut album) was the song playing at the end. A very good tune, but the big hit from that album was "Sultans of Swing".

[@smode983]

I know some people find this creepy and weird but I find it so sad. The list of girls' birthdays reminded me of a man I know and have known since we were little kids, we're all hitting 40 this year. He was in special education classes but it was never said what he was diagnosed with. A little more innocent and slower than the other kids but always with a smile. Best example I can give is think Forest Gump like. He wrote down all the girls' birthdays. He had a crush on all of them/us because he just wanted a girlfriend like everyone else. He wrote down their birthdays so that he could remember to wish them a happy birthday and to make them smile on their special day. I'm not even sure if this guy has ever even had a first kiss. Imagine what that must feel like. I don't think the guy, Gordon, was a recluse, I think society couldn't be bothered with him because he was different and he just wanted love. The truly sad part is that I bet if anyone had given him, or my friend, a chance he would have treated them like a queen and would have appreciated them in a way most husbands will never come close to. The guy that I went to school with took a job at Walmart in high school and still works there. We run into each other every few months and are friends on Facebook. (A benefit Gordon didn't have.) In all of my life everyone at some point or another has forgotten my birthday including my husband, my kids and my family. The only person who has never forgotten is that guy. It is the one birthday wish that I get that I know is truly genuine.

[@katrenalee1656]

You have quite literally just described by beautiful son. He could be Gordon in this scenario. He’s just turned 18 and he’s such a beautiful, pure and loving soul and you are right...he would like nothing more than to have a girlfriend. He has a rare genetic deletion. He’s one of 60 known to have his deletion in the entire world. Combined with some other medical issues he has and his geneticist says he likely has his very own syndrome. Lucky him. He is a loving breathing medical miracle though and I love him more than I can even begin to put words to.

[@ladyi7609]

I'll never forget the video TikiTrex did of this house; she called it an "abandoned reverend's house of memories" since Gordon's father was apparently a reverend. When she explored the house it was considerably more orderly and she was able to spot a great many more things than what you all spotted, so there's been some vandalism in the house between around 2015 (when she did the video) and whem you all recorded this video. Also, she theorized the entire upstairs was taken over by girls but it looks like there was only one sister in the family, so maybe the two brothers were okay with the pink color scheme? Oh, and in the third bedroom upstairs it had the metal reel-to-reel containers painted pink as well as a framed photo of Princess Diana, who TikiTrex theorized the "girls in the house" were a fan of, but knowing now what we know of Gordon might have been his own little tribute to another famous woman who captured his fancy?

[@thisismysea]

I live in isolation. I don't have any friends or family or anyone, and if I died it would go unnoticed until the smell reached my neighbors. I relate to Gordon in some ways. Some people just never find any belonging. It's a complicated story of how I came to be completely alone in the world and why my efforts to change it haven't worked, but in broad strokes it's because I'm a victim of chronic abuse. Instead of writing letters to newscasters I write comments on the internet for a source of human interaction, and instead of doing taking photos of dead animals I keep dolls and stuffed animals for company. I hope this man wasn't as sad as his belongings make him seem. For me loneliness is unbearable and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[@its_eli1889]

This guy had a literal obsession with woman, young and old. Off TV and on TV. He was also a sandiest it seems and he used those cassette tapes to keep up with his obsession (the ladies voices, noises from struggling animals, so and so). Those rooms are the strangest part of the video, he definitely didn’t live alone but he owned the house and property. What I think he did was ran off somewhere because that was a social woman at his house in the first tape, so he didn’t want to get caught and moved to a different part of the country or to the US.

Fascinating video and insight into this persons lonely life. At 13:22 the collage to commemorate that in summer of 1958 a man & woman with a baby drove into their drive way.

[@jovishark]

so my friend who lived on a farm mentioned that the dead animal photos are because of farming back then. shes betting the pictures of the ducks were what he discovered after a fox attack. then, when he hunted the foxes (and possibly raccoons) he had to report it to justify that it was necessary so he didnt get in trouble. he propped them up against objects to show their size. he probably set them up on posterboards to take pictures of the collages.

[@MadTheDJ]

I'll never hear "Down by the Waterline" by Dire Straits the same way again (that was the song playing that Gordon recorded at the end, possibly taping it from the radio, which is what people did in the early days of cassette recorders). Also, Jake, you never go into an abandoned house in the middle nowhere and start playing the tapes of the former occupants! Have you not seen The Evil Dead?! That's how Kandarian demons get summoned.
