It amazes me that homes like this just get abandoned with everything left in them. It has a story to tell that’s for sure. Why does no family member come claim the place before it deteriorates into a total state of loss. We all know that people once proudly lived here who seem to be good hardy family living their lives with moderate success. In a way it’s said knowing these items are connected to somebody who is no longer here on earth and everything they worked for is just rotting away for no one to want or care for. Makes you wonder if your life and possessions will wind up the same. Sad

[@chrisyroche7633]

It’s so sad to see such a beautiful home just wasting away.

[@RangerRickTV]

Exactly

[@teresascrochetandanimals]

Wow, that letter filled my heart, i hope that man made it back to his family. That letter showed the respect women used to have for their husbands back in the day. That is my way of thinking as well. The man is the decision maker and should be respected for how hard he works to take care of his family.i guess im just old fashioned lol. Yes i love tea, i drink green tea with citrus the lipton brand 😊 i don't t like making tea any more unless its hot tea just one or two cups about twice a week. I would love to explore, i wish my body would let me. I want to grab my sister in law and drag her along on a week adventure just hopping through all the abandoneds around here lol. This was a great explore, and we all love the stories you add to make it more alive...thank you for doing this for us Cant wait fir the next one 🎉

[@teresascrochetandanimals]

I paid 200 for a rug a third of that size and it was on sale but not made near as good as the one in this vid

[@jamesbarrow9843]

This is James Barrow this house can be saved and be for sale and fixed up as new

[@KingdomBuilders23]

I love that you look through their stuff it makes their story come alive, thank you.

[@BeemWeeks]

The volume/balance gadget is for a stereo system, not an Odyssey video game. This is a fantastic time capsule home. You can feel the presence of those who lived there through all they left behind. Well done.

[@BrendaDawson56]

I used to drive an old Lincoln exactly like that one. lol. Thanks for the tour Rick. This looks like it would have been a nice place at one time. So sad all the pictures have been left behind.

[@terrystrahl6006]

Those signs on the wall are Pennsylvania Dutch "Good Luck" signs that are sold throughout Pa.... That TV is 1970's into the 1980's !

[@wendy833]

I love tea. I'm in WA State, so 32° ish. I really liked some of the old furniture and that kitchen sink with the sideboard, the freezer, and the old Datsun in the garage. Merry Christmas, and thank you for the tour.

[@GrandFamily4]

Great video. Once was a beautiful home. I'm pretty sure that living room has been cleaned up sometime recently. Should of been a lot more dust. Still awesome place. Someone else's happiness and maybe tragedy ! Thanks for sharing

[@oldjake4233]

14:00 The year was 1837, and the Knabe Piano Company was born. After its humble beginnings, the Knabe piano business took a bold step in 1839 with the decision to begin building new instruments. Additional equipment and capital was needed, and for that, William Knabe formed a partnership with piano builder Henry Gaehle.

[@jessicavorhies7703]

I love seeing old abandoned houses, especially when the stuff is still there.👍

[@priscillagaskins297]

What a beautiful letter-

[@Barnandstonehouse1]

The colorful round signs are called Hex signs and were popular during the 70’s. I believe Happ is a common Amish last name.

[@user-uc4yu6hd3y]

Incredible house so many items remind me of visiting my aunts and my grandmother's house. That is a could be a nice house has great features. I would love living in that house if someone can save it but it looks pretty far gone Thank you so much for the exploration of this cool house loved you reading the letter at the very beginning of the video.

[@RebeccaProbst-lw9bx]

We used to have a set of those encyclopedias. 😊

[@jamesbarrow9843]

This is James Barrow I'm love houses and time capsules time capsules are cool and the piano is needed a lot of tuning and the house can be saved and restore instead of tearing it down

[@RangerRickTV]

I agreed James.

[@ritaakalele4801]

Beautiful and sad. 🥹

[@moniquemonette333]

I’m so thankful I found your page! I throughly enjoy all your explorations✨It’s truly fascinating! I’ve binged watched so many of your videos! IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE IF I COULD ONE DAY DO WHAT YOU DO✨keep up the outstanding content you make! THANK YOU🫶🏼

[@moushimou3170]

You found a little brownie box camera! I have an old one that dates back to the early 1900s ^^ It's not a part of the camera, but the camera itself, people had to ship the whole camera out to have the images developed, then the developing company would send it back with a fresh roll of film installed ^^

[@ingridbreier3870]

The pink tile in the bathroom is so 1960s

[@lindatimmons3675]

I love Cracker Barrel. Love the hashbrown casserole corn muffins chicken fried chicken with white gravy. Yummy

[@andyben87]

Man this place is eerie. Luggage left out as if they were packing to leave somewhere. A poor little dead dog in the basement left to starve😟. All too odd. You can find out who owns the land by the town gis assessor page.

[@jackietatum2245]

great video.. mad props!

[@blombidobadila8084]

These are fascinating, although depressing. Lots of these in France, used to explore a few. Something to do with the Law whereby if they can't find the people it is left to, or all of them, they can become abandoned. Amazing at times what you find in them.

[@johnnyjones5398]

Unsweetened tea for the win!

[@paulademarco1585]

Love this, thank you.

[@TheBrighteyes3]

The designs on the walls on the first level are PA Dutch art. The wallpaper upstairs that you referred to as "Christmas" wallpaper is also a PA Dutch design.

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

Where was this home located? So beautiful!

[@ritaakalele4801]

Beautiful ❤🇮🇪👌🍀

[@wach761]

You always make the best video. Thank you so much. I do appreciate it 🌻😊

[@deborahrodriguez684]

It's almost too dark. I wish you had a flashlight so that we could see everything in each room

[@lindajamison9840]

Your “fold out table desk” is actually called a “secretary”.

[@RangerRickTV]

Correct!

[@jamesbarrow9843]

This is James Barrow it's a beautiful house and be saved and restore and remodel and for sale instead of tearing it down

[@AndnetHaylnew]

The dead animal body you saw in the antique room is the dog left behind the owners or another one which might be get in to escape bad weather and died over there from starvation. I don't know why you said a pig 🤔 it is clearly visible that it is a dog.

[@littleleno4793]

What a lovely letter

[@RangerRickTV]

:(

[@gaborzelenak9866]

WOW! That's the letter......!

[@sirfinthetube]

People are curious about this abandoned house so they watch this video. The trouble is that you do not open up those containers, vessels, boxes, trunks, suitcases or look up under the contents of drawers etc. If it is ok to go in the house it is ok to open up stuff and look through it. You said that you were not going to steal anything anyway so what difference would it make to the ghosts watching over the house? The "story" was in all of those places that you refused to open up or explore thoroughly.

[@helenr991]

That thing you was talking about was that a video controller looks like a heating blanket controller

[@berlieannapalmer1187]

absolutly wow time stopd what happen well their together on the other side

[@blueamenaa749]

Beautiful. Its almost like they were raptured.😮😮😮

[@dennispellock2359]

Look into an explore of the Henry Ford Dahlinger Estate. Lots of evidence this house was built by Henry Ford for his mistress back in the day. The house still stands to this day as far as I know. Might take using your connections to get by any security meadows as It is surrounded by high end homes. The history alone would get you lots of views. Plenty of outside pics by other explorers, but no interior explores as far as my research shows.

[@carolefraze5972]

That’s in Kentucky ?

[@OldCanadianguy953]

That 70s Lincoln would be nice to put back on the road. The dead animal looked like a fossilized cat.

[@mikebrock1965]

The stereo is an RCA from the early '60's.

[@MyDarkmarc]

The other car that you glossed over is a BMW 2002 which is highly regarded by the car enthusiast and it looked in pretty good shape Here's some background on the BMW 2002 that was in the garage. The 2002 is the car that put BMW on the map in the United States and defined the brand as a purveyor of purposeful driving machines. (It predates “The Ultimate Driving Machine” tagline.) The fact that it offers lively performance, provides a visceral experience behind the wheel, is mechanically robust, and possesses a straight-edged Bauhaus style further cements the 2002’s status as a top-flight European collectible. The 2002 stood apart from the thundering but one-dimensional Detroit muscle cars and wheezy roadsters that defined automotive enthusiasm in the late 1960s and early ’70s. For those who owned a 2002 back in the day-or even years later as a beater-the cars often had an impact whose power did not diminish over time. The car was sold from 1968 through 1976. At launch, the 2.0-liter engine featured a single Solex carburetor and made an advertised 100 horsepower (a dual-carb version with 119 horsepower, the “ti” or “touring international”, was not imported). It was paired with a Getrag four-speed manual, soon joined by a much less desirable ZF three-speed automatic. (A five-speed manual was a later option but few cars were so equipped.) Visually, the early cars are the cleanest, with slim chrome bumpers, round taillights, and single aluminum molding that encircles the body starting at the leading edge of the hood and extending straight back just under the door handles and onto the trailing edge of the trunk lid. With the second model year came the arrival of four-piston front-brake calipers and a new rear axle design. Mid-year ’71 saw the addition of a lower body rub strip and rubber strips on the chrome bumpers, as well as minor changes to the instrument cluster and center console. The most significant change in the 2002 lifespan arrived for 1972 in the form of the tii, a fuel-injected model that remained through ’74. The tii (for “touring international” and “injection”) featured Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection that together with a higher compression ratio and larger valves boosted output to 130 horsepower. The tii also got beefier brake and suspension components, larger-diameter wheels, and a heavier clutch (the tii came only with stick shift). The mechanical makeover was comprehensive, but the tii was stealth in terms of looks-only the “tii” badge on the rear distinguishes this model.

[@RangerRickTV]

Damn... I wish I would have explored the cars a bit more.

[@stephscovill7221]

Id love to know if the two in the letter got reunited!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@Vferrell83]

In some of the pictures it was a guy next to a girl in his military uniform but he didn't give any attention to it🤦🏿‍♀️☹️

[@davidhibbs6989]

As I watch this and comment at the same time it's so dark it's hard to see everything in details, kinda like that very dark paneling throughout the house and not enough light. I also hear a fly. Not sure if you could hear it or not. Looks like people picked the house clean of valuables if any to be had! Or maybe just a hoarder house. I'm amazed it's still standing. Probably the seclusion is what kept it from being vandalized to the point of no return. And as you said it's looks staged! And still hear that fly 😂 maybe they left their dog behind and it died in the basement. Looks more like a dog skeleton.😢

[@therealz360z7]

That clock on the wall with the gold leaves is from the sixties , if you hosted a party sorta like tupperwaer only high end stuff that was what you got for having so many sales . My mom had one it finally died in the nineties she said the stuff was so expensive hadly anybody bought anything .

[@jayrob280]

Nivea has been around for 100 years at least.

[@KristianK9755]

Cool indeed...

[@reversefulfillment9189]

Barb would love to have a visit but the house is just such a mess right now.

[@RangerRickTV]

Ya really.

[@annegleason8442]

I love tea!!!!

[@dennispellock2359]

I don’t understand how remaining family members are so mentally weak they can’t clean out the possessions of a passed loved one. How will these people survive once our country comes under attack?. They won’t last 2 days.

[@JustMe-oo3wm]

You wouldn't last either. Your type are never as tough as you like to say you are.

[@rachelrichards2999]

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

[@chrislangston1664]

The old Lincoln in thr garage is about a 1966.

[@suemiller9685]

It looked like a dead possum. Pink bathroom from the 50's. Some tv's had handles, that's why they are called portable tv's.

[@PJL7095]

I’d say that’s the carcass of a fox or coyote. Surprised it was unable to get out of there if it made its way in. Strange

[@lonnied7709]

carcass.

[@gailspaw5521]

Sup from Kentucky❤

[@AlbertoRodriguez-ju6hc]

This is well I'm still at the beginning of the video but I believe every place is worth saving it just depends on how you save it. Mold can be treated animal feces can be cleaned, flooring and drywall can be replaced. Heck tearing the house apart down to the bear bones taking note of it's problems is probably the best way because you can also determine where things need to be updated and brought up to code by today's standards as well so taking note of the damage and rot over time well you asses for updates at the same time might be cheaper. Salvage what you can for a restore to.

[@lynnu25]

First time watching, Rick do you ever here the ghost in these places???

[@teijaalanko5165]

Very good video. Thank you this. 👋〰️〰️🏛🛋〰️〰️👌

[@lucywebber3588]

My white TV had a handle on it it was black and white you totally just reminded me it had a clear picture I must admit

[@deborahrodriguez684]

I really want to see this house I wish you would turn on his camera light and the dark areas I seriously can't see

[@2009hydes]

Should have checked the date on the inspection tag on fire extinguisher

[@Play_z209]

At 11:50 and 14:40. It looked like they own horses or liked something to do with horses. So that might be a clue too. 32:58 I’m pretty sure that’s a fox

[@AlbertoRodriguez-ju6hc]

This place is abandoned and there's so many poor on the streets it's annoying the place could be rent controlled so some people could stabilize their lifes.

[@etheljones6204]

Good

[@jro7075]

OK I finally subscribed to this channel your content is great there are other shows that explore same places but you are different I like the fact that you try ti find out the history of house and former owners I like to find out what happened ,I feel very bad and sad that the people may have died alone or had to leave I really feel for these people and houses I find this fascinating ,that clock looks like 70's era cause we had something like it ,and on that stereo system never heard of that make but it looks like late 50's or 60's era I collect turntables and have seen those type I remember having encyclopedias we had also like the way you narrate the stories got the perfect voice for that I am hoping the lady who wrote that letter that her husband came back to her I hope she was not alone the house looks like it could be saved television looks like 70's thats considered a portable television we had some like that they bwould go on a metal type tray to move it around easier ,there's nothing wrong with looking at clothes your not going to keep them and you can find out about them the volume and balance looks like a part of a stereo system this was fascinating

[@SharonJones-ql8oy]

My God that was a Dog 😔

[@RangerRickTV]

Where at?

[@SharonJones-ql8oy]

In the Basement 😢

[@suejohnson2697]

Wondering did you look for any paperwork in the autos to find out their names ?

[@lucywebber3588]

I think if it's a cleaner called borax maybe it's like Ajax like a powder inside? X

[@Livingdeadgirl72]

U said kutztown pa so those things u pointed out in the washroom, asking what they are. I think they originated from Polish since you said Kutztown.I know I’ve seen them at the polish fair when I went for a trip. Or Dutch descent but I know they could be Asian, too or from India there’s different types of them. I can’t remember the name of of them but it’s like a compass of some type.

[@Livingdeadgirl72]

I absolutely love Mango tea 🍵 hot or cold

[@miriam3863]

I like your Channel and what you do😂🎉

[@AlbertoRodriguez-ju6hc]

1995 I was 4 years old when this place was abandoned I'm 32 right now. Time being overweight and lazy have slowed me down but I'm not too old yet. If I ate well lost some weight and took vitamins I'd probably still have a lil too much spring in my step, yeah I admit I'm fat and lazy sugar coating it would only get me fatter and give me diabetes so why deny it?

[@lucywebber3588]

Do you know if straw is used inside the mattresses I remember sleeping at Grandma and grandad's and there was a big lump in the mattress??😊

[@americana9692]

There's a Lance Hulack of about the right age who graduated from the Kutztown school of business.

[@therealz360z7]

I like ice tea about ninety percent unsweet just a hint of sugar to get rid of the bitter .

[@lucywebber3588]

My grandma and grandad we're so tidy what looks staged to me is where her dress is hung and also maybe his hat because they hated moths and dust, most things like this we're put away😊 and there's no way she would have left her handbag out that's usually slightly hidden unless they were just about to go out?

[@thestars386]

I like tea but green tea is my favorite. 🍵☕ and coffee to.

[@thestars386]

Unsweetened for me too!!

[@jaygentile5202]

And that letter nice story far from a text

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Hey Rick that animal carcass was really gross looking.

[@user-rl2vr2qt8c]

Racoons aren't vicious. 😊

[@gailspaw5521]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@normanfletcher8332]

If there's a great time capsule house, RangerRick will find it. Curious, the closet 20:26 looked beautiful, you did not peak to see what was in it.? Started to watch until the end, but glanced at comments 1st, this time, saw about skeleton could be a dog, & me, animal friendly, could not watch...

[@billdepalma161]

We had the year books they were issued every year to keep your older encyclopedia setup to date differs time frame in the 70’s we used them for reports everything is Google these days

[@AlbertoRodriguez-ju6hc]

If the existing structure can't be saved do more research and see how much it would cost to tear it all down and rebuild the same house using it's blueprints, take note of areas in the blueprints where code updates are needed and implement them otherwise build the exact same house in the old ones place. Get rid of personal items, any pappers that might have personal information anything with their Ids or stuff on it, keep stuff like antiques nic nacks stuff made of metal take it all after the rebuild and return it making it a full restore then someone can be moved in. There's so many videos on abandoned explore where the place could have/should have been sold instead of abandoned, it could've been taken care of by people who would have appreciated it and called it home.

[@robertmailhos8159]

Piano man Rick listing to the same song from Billy Joel😅

[@bernadettesepulveda1579]

How do u find theses houses

[@RangerRickTV]

Networking, obsessing, and randomly driving around.

[@leet7489]

wow looks like not too many urbex people in that house if that tv is in such good condition

[@TylerChamb]

I hope the mummified dog at the end of the video wasn't like the family pet that got left behind or something and was left to slowly starve to death. It looks like whatever it was went down there to have peace and quiet while it passed.

[@PJL7095]

It’s a William Knabe piano

[@ABeautfulMess]

Every abandon house has a paino.😂

[@lindatimmons3675]

That clock on the wall is a lot older than 80s its more like early 60s or late 50s. The dead animal looked like a dog.

[@LMan-by6mb]

The piano is by knabe (ka na be )

[@teijaalanko5165]

Me too its this Nivea,,gream,,oh my good,,very nice.👍〰️〰️😄👝

[@bethrios2782]

You make me laugh at how old you make this house. Of course I am 83 and I grew old with all this stuff.

[@jaygentile5202]

Oh your a pianist now get down boogie

[@DeadlyKnot]

TV with a handle lol

[@RangerRickTV]

Seems like everything had handles back in the day.

[@jefferythurston6983]

😂 hi Ranger Rick how are you hope you're doing good just wanted to say hi to you so high

[@ellencassidy7795]

Check the back of that sofa for a raccoon nest! My raccoon made a nest in our sofa like that one.

[@noneofyourbusiness6419]

Maybe the son was in the Vietnam war and was killed in action sometimes parents leave the room like they left it so it feels like they are still alive if that’s the case I’m thanking him for his services and sacrifice, but maybe the husband was off to war too due to the letter in the beginning ❤

[@RangerRickTV]

Yes possibly.
