Million Dollar Abandon Homes Very Creepy Alberta, Canada

Hello folks and welcome back to my Abandoned places series as I take you on adventures around Alberta looking at Abandoned places. This videos is like no other and is the creepiest yet. Check it out and don't forget to comment down below. Thanks for watching.

[@DoorsInTime]

Watching your video made me so sad. I thought about the families living out their lives normally the day before the flood. It would be so crazy to lose everything like that. The government making them move their houses or abandon them is so foreign to me. Can you imagine the revolt that would happen if the US government told the people on the Texas or Florida coasts that they have to move their houses because hurricanes happen every season?!?!? Holy moly! There would be a civil war over it. Great video! -Heidi

[@MrSpongie1]

Doors In Time yes it is a sin they had to just up and move. Some of them homes are still in better shape then some other people's homes. Yup there sure would be a war on down south of that happen. Thanks for Watching and commenting see you tonight.

[@DoorsInTime]

See ya! -Heidi

[@sillililli01]

The government should be sued for allowing them to build there in the first place. It's like Vancouver being built on a flood plain, so large that it encompasses Chilliwack to the East, and Bellingham in the State of Washington to the South. Prime farmland because it was river bottom at one time.

Canada doesn't have a proper democracy it has a fedral dictatorship

[@cdresser7175]

For some reason, I can see myself being left bound & gagged here, like most abandoned places make me feel like that..

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Always amazes me how neighborhoods can be fully functional and then mother nature steps in and says it's time to leave!

[@MrSpongie1]

Yup it's a little crazy how Mother Nature works but I think it was a smart move.... I'm just glad I got to see it before some of them got taken down or moved to there new lots.

[@bowstarchannel]

well done on fantastic videos, very cool wow

[@PlumBob]

I can't believe they still mow the lawns. Thanks for bringing us along Spongie.

[@MrSpongie1]

Yeah I have know idea why they would still mow the lawns? but made for a very cool video.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Wow that's really weird. Love your music selection ;)

[@MrSpongie1]

Hey Thanks Bubba... put a little time in editing this video. it is weird to see homes like this and cool at the same time..

Yeah I'm starting a New Series on my channel as you may already can see and tell.. haha hoping to do more restaurant videos too and the sight seeing.

[@PAPATexas]

That would be eerie to b e in a place like that. Good video Spongie

[@MrSpongie1]

Yeah I couldn't imagine being there at night doing a video haha

[@McBuggs.]

It was said that the railway trestle on the Highwood River (north side of High River) was a contributor to the vast flooding there in 2013. Logs would jam up against the trestle which caused higher flood water to flow around it. There had been smaller floods in previous years, but not as bad. This was the last straw for many and it was decided that the unused bridge to be removed and scrapped, Oct 2013. I went with a buddy a couple of weeks after the flooding and we did some photography (documenting) around the area... it looked like a war zone. We met some RCMP officers cruising around keeping a visual for trespassers and looters. It wouldn't have surprised us if there were surveillance cameras set up throughout some neighbourhoods.

[@Canadiantrucker696]

The rains that fell in such a short period on the mountains were the cause not log jam’s! There was just way to much water fell that the ground could not absorb hence the biggest flood in recorded history around this area of Alberta

[@McBuggs.]

@@Canadiantrucker696 - I didn't say the log jams were the cause, but were a contributor. Even if there wasn't a log jam on the bridge, there would have been flooding, but maybe lesser in size? Who knows, I'm not an expert and wasn't there during the flood. The fact that people who lived there said over the years, log jams on the railway trestle were a problem and they were upset and tired of it causing bigger issues. I'm only repeating this gathered information from those and their opinions, and also from news stories. So yes, it was frozen ground plus an overabundance of rain (mountain snow-melt/runoff) that caused huge flooding. Calgary certainly got it's share as it suffered extensive damage, while it took years of recovery/reconstruction. Any low-lying area such as floodplain's downstream were affected as river waters rose and redirected it's paths.

[@rickvervoort9536]

@@McBuggs. I watched the water literally breech over that bridge. The logs didn't change a thing.

[@user-zp7jp1vk2i]

this is in Joe Clarks' home area and old riding (Prime Minister and long time Member of Parliament in Canada). A Conservative area for sure, but the RCMP took the opportunity to BREAK IN to boarded up homes and grab the long guns. What??!! Alberta is basically the Texas of Canada when it comes to gun Rights! THAT is an interesting story.

[@MrSpongie1]

Thanks for stopping by.

[@powshredder3716]

what about more of a back story? where is it? why was it abandoned ? cheers

[@MrPixelgrower]

Yes. 95% of them were moved, first having the heavy bricks taken off the house and replaced at the final site. The others were demolished. This was due to a flood in 2013 (homes were built in a flood plan and designated flood zone). The builders never thought there would be a devastating flood that would wipe out an entire community. DUH! This was the 100 Year flood that they never thought would happen this early.. Homes were auctioned off with the missing information that one would have to MOVE the home to a piece of land that the bidder owned. Cost of moviing some of these homes was in the $60,000 - $90,000 range plus more. This was the first area I photographed when I moved to Calgary in 2013. Thanks to my cousin's story of the area. High River and Okotoks (where I moved to) are now thriving towns, with homes and communities being built every month. Now people want to move out of the city of Calgary due to high rent and home prices, and live 30 minutes away, in places like Okotoks and High River. I rent in Okotoks for $900 for a basement apartment with washroom, laundry facility and access to a full kitchen up stairs. While it's not all in one area of the house, I was paying $1,575 a month two years ago for a two bedroom with heated underground parking. My monthly expenses were $2,400 (rent included). Now my monthly expenses including rent is $1,300. The rent for my apartment in Calgary went from $1.575 to $1,725 for the lady who took over my unit !!! I love it in Okotoks! flic.kr/s/aHsm1dofeR

[@bevbailey4283]

Beautiful houses

[@SalineScott]

That's odd that the whole neighborhood is abandoned. Those are some really nice homes too.

[@MrSpongie1]

Yeah a couple were around the million dollar mark... some of them sold at auction for 50k or around that.

[@sandygrunleitner7399]

Not odd at all. The government bought them out because they were in a floodzone. Later the government auctioned the ones that were not too damaged and full of mold off and the new owners had to move the houses to new locations

[@TheMadNomadder]

Very interesting, never seen houses in the middle of the road like that. Seen doublewides in haulers and stuff to the lot or yard, but never just left like that.

[@MrSpongie1]

Yeah they are moving a huge house and that's just one part of 4 they'll be moving. some of the houses sold on Auction .

[@DriveShaftDrew]

must have been a flood zone or something freaky forsure to see all those nice empty homes

[@MrSpongie1]

Yup it was the great flood of 2013.

[@aleksanderkuncwicz7277]

They should renovate them and keep them open for people.

[@carolinamanjr1385]

Wow a whole neighborhood abandoned that is something

[@MrSpongie1]

Yup hard to believe but when flooding happens this is the end result.

[@RoxanneRoxanne760]

Wow!

[@sarahr1606]

Great video, Sponge! Wish we could buy the whole neighborhood to help revitalize the area.... Shame they would probably flood again though :-(

[@MrSpongie1]

Yup your right it would be super cool~! I had my eye on a few I would love to live in. it's really a sin but it would like flood again thought your right.

[@philc824]

Who would have thought an area named “High River “ by people who lived in the area originally many, many years ago and a documented flood area would have a problem with water? Too bad some people ignore history.

[@MrSpongie1]

Right.... guess they weren't thinking by building never the river.

[@claytonberg721]

To the layman what is a flood area and what isn't typically isn't obvious. I live 30 feet from the bow and in 2013 the river would have had to risen 30 more feet to threaten me. Meanwhile a place not a block away had to put up sandbags just to minimize damage. There's riverfront property that is at absolutely no risk and there's places two blocks from the river that flooded in 2013. But yeah I agree, if I'm building a 1 million dollar home, I'm looking into what will flood and what won't.

[@elijahbey3366]

This reminds me of Children of the Corn. All the grown ups are gone, but the lawns are mysteriously well manicured.

[@MrSpongie1]

This video was taken about 7 years after the flood. This flood was crazy water was about 5 - 6 deep in some spots. Yeah the 15 min city thing is very sad... Can't see it working.

[@freddabunnyadventures6637]

The lawns in the high river town are very well kept.

[@MrSpongie1]

Yeah I'd say

[@deedeepeer3026]

I need to ask why places like this can't be repurposed to benefit all the homeless that are in all our communities.

[@MrSpongie1]

Well they all were sold at auction so I don't know many homeless people that can afford them.

[@somesquidbillyhillbilly5207]

Wow this truly is an insane video, I understand you stayed away from going inside any of these houses due to respect but have you ever done a follow up video where you have? I’ve never heard about this place, the flood or anything related to this place and I’ve lived in Alberta my entire life so this is pretty cool to me, almost feels like our own Chernobyl just without the radiation and Geiger counter’s, this place really still looks amazing I’m astonished people were forced to leave and never return, and I’m even more surprised that like people didn’t just stay like over 1000 people did in Chernobyl! These houses for the most part still look incredibly, hardly any damage at all on the outside

[@MrSpongie1]

Yes this place was very cool... I would have loved to see inside some of the homes but not worth the fine. Although I have checked out other neat places in Alberta in the South and the difference was with them they were either already destroyed by nature. I normally even knock on the door just to make sure there isn't anyone else there. I would kill to take a little trip through Chernobyl and other places that are Abandon on that size of scale.

I’ve been watching all kids of your videos all evening haha, I really do like how much respect you have for other places and others peoples things, if I had to evacuate my house I would hope eventually I could come back and everything was exactly the same as I left it, these people some day I really hope are gonna get back to their homes and have no worries about their possessions from back in the day disappearing because of people like you, people who make a video on something and explain what they are doing, yes you are exploring an abandoned town but no you are not exploring the houses and this is why, I love that you took the time to explain why you won’t go inside them and it shows you care and you wish that others show the same care that you do!

where is this you say high river cause im pretty sure i use to live on that streeet

[@wandamcmillan9355]

The only creepy thing about this is weather modification. Silver iodide used to seed the clouds. I found young pilots logs on gallons of the stuff they took up and seeded with only 2 days before the flood of 2014 and when that flood hit, I went back to that login and gee whiz, mysteriously removed.

[@Inlinetodie]

You're right... They move rocks around to create flood, pushing rivers and streams into other regions of Canada, that is why you can see hundreds of roads being built to water ways throughout Alberta and BC. They plan the Floods, remove people, then sell the area to foreign developers

[@philc824]

Many, many , many years ago the existing people named the area “High River” I wonder if it had anything to do with the water levels ?

[@Matt-zp1jn]

Likely the geoengineering weather modification was orchestrated to create a “natural” problem, so that the government or rcmp/csis could claim a justified reaction to come and intrude around High River to monitor the cleanup while getting unfettered access to hundreds of homes and unlawfully confiscating law abiding citizens firearms etc. The solution was to portray helping, when it involved information gathering on high river and its population etc. The Hegalian Dialectic its called.

[@ameliatoreson1590]

There are subdivisions in Houston that have flooded two and three times . They have had to be completely gutted and redone . Sometimes the government buys the people out but not often . It's a real mess .

The government bought out all the homes and part of the requirements I guess was the yards were to be kept cut so that when they went to auction they would be able to get top dollar although I am pretty sure some of them were sold around 50k. Thanks for watching hope you enjoyed my video.

[@Redgonetogray]

Amazing the builder or owner of all them lots got away with selling them lots if they were in a flood plain. Town zoning laws here wouldn't allowed that.

[@Jsellers1965]

Looks like a well established neighborhood why not repair and rebuild the neighborhood? Makes no sense just to abandon the place over a 100 year flood. People here live on the ocean and they get flooded on average once every 20 years and they don';t run off and abandon their Homes. Crazy!

[@MrSpongie1]

Well I think they are worried for another huge flood to happen is my guess. but yea I think it floods more often the once every 20 years... and it's really close to a river.

[@andreaphillips7595]

5 people died in the flooding. It was built on a flood plain. No one wants to stay around for the next one

This place floods constantly. Its called high river for a reason. It wasnt the one flood that pushed this decision it was the floods prior and after..

[@MothershipVideos]

The properties looked like they were well established before abandonment and someone is mowing the majority of the lawns. Weird.

[@MrSpongie1]

Yup the government owns all the properties now.. besides the ones they auctioned off... I enjoyed making this video.

[@davidryan4454]

A lot being vacant is not the same as abandoned. No-one lives there but the yards are mown. No vandalism. Why did people leave ? Surely there would be some owners not willing to leave 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MrSpongie1]

They had to leave due to one year the water from the river near by flooded the whole area causing major damage to the insides of homes water was about 6feet deep and more in some area's. I would imagine the black mold is really bad in them.

Holy crap! That's a big fine! Rather get spanked! Wonder if they'd trade? They were all better then mine! That guy actually believed you were on a news team? I would've laughed! I've never seen a newsman with a stylin' beard like your's bud!

[@RoxanneRoxanne760]

Wait dumb question ! How are they “moving” these houses? Lmaoo are they picking up the entire house?😂😂😂😂

[@blazinbimmer]

Yes. They put them on ginormous trucks and transport them. I didn’t think it was a thing until my neighbor had it done. She built her parents a home on her property and when they both had passed away she had no use for it, so she sold the house and this masssssive truck came and picked it up to move it. Was strange to see

[@MrSpongie1]

Yup they move them in sections you can see in one part of the video where they got the garage of one home on a trailer.

@@MrSpongie1 wow how cool is that omg!!! And I googled this neighborhood lastnight after watching this video and it is listed as one of the creepiest places in the WORLDDDD ! That’s crazy

[@doorr1231]

why were these houses abandoned??

[@MrSpongie1]

There was a huge flood several years ago which cause a bit of mold and water damage.

[@Homengineer-artist]

What's up with the eerie music.

[@MrSpongie1]

[@realmofcuriosity]

How far is this from America?

[@MrSpongie1]

6 hours likely from Montana.

[@tarotbyamber7233]

@@MrSpongie1 have you been to America?

If you're going to display your writing skill by describing the video, you may want to re-connect with your fourth grade teacher. It's "abandoned" not "abandon".
