My Top 5 ROADSIDE FINDS! Abandoned to Unexpected (Long Form)

[@JPVideos81]

Did you agree with my top 5 list? Don't forget to stick around for the bonus location!

[@CicadaMania]

Interesting video! I had to check on the fluorescent lights, and from wikipedia it seems they were common place by the 1940s with most lighting being fluorescent by 1951.

[@dr.leonardhofstadtersavage6413]

JP that old farm house was definitely from the late 1960s, to the early 1970s Era. That last calender with 1972 on it, makes more sense. Then you have furniture that is more time related to the 1970s. But that is a lot of old TVs from the 60s and 70s that is an amazing time capsule. That's a 1967 Chevy pickup truck

[@GoodbyTooSoon]

I would like to know what happened to the people who lived in the trailer. That's very strange.

[@klausvonschmit4722]

It blows me away the lack of respect displayed by those searching abandon properties for anything of value! Awesome video!

[@jamesholt7612]

That's sad that place was trashed out. Awesome editing and very well put together and JP. keep up the good work my friend.

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

I agree these were some of your best roadside finds .. It was fun to visit them again .. Abandoned places always have an "air of sadness" to me ..but the abandoned homes really seem so sad . ...a life disrupted ..Thank you for sharing some awesome old hidden gems .

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for stopping by to watch 💙

[@adamtereska8734]

I have seen and remember all 5 of these videos, and these are great choices for your top 5. Boggles the mind what's on the roadsides anymore.

[@JPVideos81]

Lots discovered, but lots more to be discovered.

[@alanstant9356]

I actually remember about all of those road finds Jay. I agree you picked the right 5 for this video.

[@LonelyGrandmaMary]

I don’t usually comment but had to tell you your number one was the first one I watched of your videos, reminded me of my grandpas house trade the tvs for lawnmowers. Even had the same kind of truck. I’ve been hooked ever since. Love your videos and addicted to you voice😊

[@JPVideos81]

Wow, thank you

[@kathie__1]

This was a great video. I remember some of them. Makes me want to go back and watch some more older videos! Thanks, JP!

[@gaylebrodt676]

Yes, I agree with you that these are some of your top roadside finds. It was nice to see them again, they are awesome and very interesting finds. I wonder if the third house is still standing? I always find it amazing to see all the neat items and beautiful furniture and so forth that have been left behind in the abandoned homes, some of them are cool antiques and treasures. Great video JP, thank you!

[@JPVideos81]

Good question about the house. My guess is probably not.

[@lauradarnall227]

I love watching your videos on your road side finds .....maybe your first road side find was a horriders home ...

[@dustyrusty6840]

Thanks for the recap, really enjoyed it. Did you ever find out what all the concrete sections was for for?

[@JPVideos81]

Supposedly parts of the Bear Ridge Colliery

[@asilversurfer4372]

Enjoyed the 5 finds, very interesting.

[@DanielleWhite]

The pulley at 41:11 reminds me of the jury rigged one my father had on his dairy farm to use an 4HP electric motor to wind the ring-drive silo unloader back to the top of the silo before we started chopping corn in the fall. Every year I got to spend a bunch of time being the (semi?)intelligent counterweight to keep the V-belt tensioned - pushing down on one end of an iron bar placed through the eye bolt atop the motor and under one of the bands on the concrete stave silo. BTW one you may enjoy is behind Keystone College's campus. There used to be a passenger rail service (trolley?) on the hill behind the college and the foundation of a station still existed when I was a student there (before it made the jump from two to four years.) There are also at least two pairs of anchor points for a suspension bridge between the area of that station and around Harris Hall; concrete masses with hooks extending horizontally. Two are behind Harris Hall in the flood plain of South Branch of the Tunkhannock Creek but two others are well up the opposing slope and are much easier to access; if the trail is still in the same place from the modern suspension bridge to the former station it passes near them. There's also a laid-up stone culvert under old railbed and an old cemetery with a gorgeous wrought iron fence just off the old line. When I was at KJC we were doing some research work ahead of the 125th anniversary of the school and found an old student newspaper article from the days when it was an academy (private high school) that referenced the station, noting that boys considered it a worth-while pursuit to loiter at the station in the hopes of catching the flash of an ankle from under a skirt.

[@JPVideos81]

I believe it's known as the Trolley Trail now and is on my list.

[@sandua51]

Holy mackerel I would love to truck out those TVs! Vintage electronics heaven!

[@valeriealvis7740]

I agree with you! They should be salvaged for sure!!

[@sonplusone7059]

Loved this video. It’s a great video because it shows your previous stuff that not everyone has seen before. Little bits of previous stuff makes for a very good video. Great job JP. 🤗

[@JPVideos81]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@garymessina1609]

Great road side finds great video thanks JP

[@703am]

i have to agree these are the best of the best...keep them videos coming, love them....I'm sure now that spring and summer is almost here there will be many more adventures to come

[@JPVideos81]

Appreciate you watching and liking the top 5.

[@OscarVaughn]

That first one was just sad. All the memories left behind that sucks

[@tse90723]

If that last house is still structurally sound, there are riches in that house. Perfect place to take ownership.

[@robertmanley7556]

Yes I totally agree withe top 5 list !! These were all GREAT locations and exploitations and that bonus footage of that Go Kart track and Mini Golf !! That spiral would have been really cool to drive on for sure !! I really enjoyed this video !!! 👍👍

[@JPVideos81]

We need more go kart tracks like that.

[@MrIceman22]

thanks for sharing this jp i always love your road side find video :D

[@lilyd1010]

Anybody else think the inhabitant might've been an old-time TV Repairman? TY JP!

[@valeriealvis7740]

That’s what I’m thinking 😊👍🏻

[@MEL2theJ]

Awesome compilation! 👍

[@JPVideos81]

😊

[@jamesgodman6054]

That house with all the old t v s was quite interesting . Some of them are worth some money to some one that restores old electronics . As a kid (60s70s) I took a lot of old tube type radios . I hate to think what they might be worth today if they got saved .

[@dancriswell3392]

#5 that’s still unbelievable lol so much stuff and you found that on the way home from Altoona I have yet to locate it thank you so much for sharing awesome video JP 😎

[@JPVideos81]

It was a doozy haha

[@joanwilliams1376]

You are definitely braver than me. Be careful out there.

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Would've loved to see that weed burning train monster doing its thing in the dark---flames shooting out all over the place lol!! That was a first for me. MOW outfits have all kinds of crazy equipment! This was a fun video!

[@JPVideos81]

To this day that unit is the only one I've ever seen.

[@flauwegeit]

wow dude >< many marvelous things to see

[@davidross5169]

We came by this house one time and saw a big cat,laying out on the roof. Of the house ,so that's what was up in the attic that made the noise.!!!!!

[@tse90723]

You and me. Let's get that last house!

[@tinamortensen1220]

the pipes around the water tank may also keep it warm so it doesn't freeze.

[@mikesprenkle5913]

Good top 5.i like the order you went with.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks

[@Jennifermcintyre]

Wow! Very cool compilation of random places!! I loved the tv house! It was such a neat place and I love all the old things.. little pieces of history! The fun park was really neat too!! I looked it up and it seems like it was last open in 2015. Mixed reviews on rating sites. It looks like it could be fixed up and reopened with some investment!

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for watching

[@arlisssolano8288]

loved it !

[@foxconn042]

that 7 up bottle was from the mid 1930s to 1950s (7-up swimsuit girl or bubble girl bottle)

[@marcomcdowell8861]

I wonder what happened to the people of that double wide for them to leave absolutely everything behind.

[@tse90723]

The poured concrete on top of the Stone? I'm sure water was involved somehow.

[@allenthibault9523]

Hey J.P. At about 7:37 there is someone laughing !!!👻👣👀 , I'm sure !✌❤ 🤗🤗 and it's not you two !👀

[@tinamortensen1220]

what camera and settings are you using for stills?

[@JPVideos81]

Just my smartphone

[@jamesholt7612]

That's an old 1963 Chevy truck.

[@shirleyneal6805]

I am certainly not contradicting or trying to say you did I am honestly only asking a question. Is this trespassing or do you take anything without permission?

[@JPVideos81]

Enter at your own risk. If something is posted, gated, sealed up I dont go in nor take anything.

[@TheNburtzla]

OMGoodness! you gave away your age! lol. I have a couple places around my area and in KY I would love to explore but, I am too chicken!

[@JPVideos81]

😁

[@hellomikie92]

When are you going to upload more newer urban exploration videos?

[@JPVideos81]

I upload new videos atleast twice a week. There's a new adventure coming out tonight and an abandoned location video coming out Friday.

[@zakeemsworld6619]

Its sad the mobile home would of made a nice home for someone else. Maybe they couldn't bear the grief and did not go back..

[@davidross5169]

I loved going into old houses.the smells.were srange,some noises, were scary as hell!! Never seen ,anything.but heard things that made me get out fast.both me and my dog.!!!A loud bang.from up stairs. Where I had just been,????? The dog beat me back to the car that time.jumped right threw the open window to get in the car.shakeing.wide eyed!!!!!

[@valeriealvis7740]

Wow! I bet that was pretty scary!! If your dog got scared, that tells you something!!

[@tinamortensen1220]

By the look on the door it was busted in by police. probably a no knock warrant. That would also be why the insides look the way they do. the people are probably in jail and couldn't get back. The vehicle isn't really that surprising. I would have been more surprised if there was no vehicle. turned over probably by kids. Looks like the police searched the place. they leave messes behind. looks like it wasn't too long ago, no real dust. check out public records. . animals went to shelter.. looks like November of 2016.

[@tse90723]

When you look at bottles, many times you can look at what's embossed on the bottom of the bottle. Sometimes it's cool information like on the older bottles it may say the city the bottle was made in or something like that and the newer bottles will have just letter codes.

[@matthewschleicher9419]

Nice videos I’m going back watching them again in full

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome adventure JP! Love the rail trail adventures! Great to see you and RJ out making great discoveries along the way! Thanks for bringing us along with ya'll!

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome roadside find compilation JP! I agree with the list. Cool to see them again!

[@susanorr7535]

It’s a great adventure with great finds! Amazing buildings. The house is amazing!

[@UrbanKiwiana]

Good morning JP wow that was a trip down memory lane I recognized only a couple and the rest were new to me, really worth watching, I can definitely say that these house all really need a good vaccum and mopping floors are a mess :), that second home i believe it was holy crap it was really leaning in on itself, thanks

[@tinamortensen1220]

I worked security as supervisor at a refinery, that pad doesn't look like a scale. it would be metal around edges of cement and an open space and metal framed. it could have been a check station for vehicles entering for work.

[@frankforrest1597]

I totally agree, Jay. All excellent explores and finds. Accidental finds like these are the best. You did a great job of putting this together 👊. Thanks for the "revisit" of these locations 👍🤙

[@JPVideos81]

Appreciate that Frank. Thanks

[@garyjohnson4608]

Maybe, whoever last lived here, liked and collected or repaired tv's ?

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

I really enjoyed the video of the different places you visited. I was especially intriged by how many televisions that person had in the old house.

[@JPVideos81]

It was quite the collection

[@SR-zi6eo]

Yes, they were great finds! I must admit I do love the abandoned houses most of all. Thank you for taking us, and we appreciate your work; hope to see more soon! …..🌝

[@davidhibbs6989]

And the first one, the mobile home was of course ransacked 🤬 But as I watch more it looks like it could also be a Hoarder unit! Yes on the 2nd one to get the local people to tell you about the past to tell you the scoop on what use to be in the area, called living history. And where it says ' I love Jason ' someone traveled into the future just to leave that for you 😅 And in the 3rd that house looked very long abandoned! That other abandoned house dated calendar of 1981 we had kitchen chairs that looked the same back in the 60&70's era. Amazing when something from your past jars your memory! That room in the house that had the wheelchair and gave you bad vibes would probably be great for a paranormal event. aluminum siding was famous in the 70's I remember my friends parents had theirs done mid 70's but they dented fairly easy. And the last one in Cherokee north Carolina I was there when the Harrah's casino first opened. Fun times.. another great video 👍

[@JPVideos81]

Appreciate you watching

[@garyjohnson4608]

When you come across these abandoned homes, are you ever able to find out who owns these properties ?

[@JPVideos81]

Very rarely. Typically the bank or state takes possession for back taxes.

[@eileenbauer4601]

Totally enjoyed this compilation! The items in the abandoned house took me back to my childhood!

[@patriciasentz4950]

I've been playing catch up with your videos. Been pretty out of it for the last month, so it's nice to check in on what you've been up to. So cool!!!!

[@catherineengle4196]

I agree totally with your list. Number 1 is so sad... I remember watching the original video and thinking how sad and depressing the house felt just by its contents. My college minor was in psychology and the house just reads a man taking care of either a wife or mother who was very sick. The hoarding of the tvs and radios is something that happens after the loss of a meaningful loved one. So many things in the house remind me of my own childhood, like the 7 up bottles, TVs and that washing machine. We had a washer like that on our back porch that my momma did laundry in. The most baffling roadside find is those concrete structures built on top of the rocks. I would love to know what or how those structures were used in the coal industry. The number 4 on the list was one of my most favorites because after watching it I realized that train was what we called in Florida a flame thrower. The one in the video is much older than the ones I remember as a kid. The ones I remember the flames came out from under the back of the train (could have been the front. Depending on the direction it was going)and were not as long as the one in your video. That concrete building has some historical significance if the 70 yr old gentleman didn't ever see it in operation in his lifetime. Cinderblock started being used here in America after 1880. That building could have very well been one of the first construction of its kind. Great video...✌

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for watching Catherine

[@chrislangston1664]

The 7 up bottle is about a 57. If you look at the bottom, it will have the year on it. Some pop.bottles have the town,& state on the bottom of them they where bottle in. And the date will be on the bottom side. I had a Big Cheif ( red cream soda )

[@chrislangston1664]

It

[@chrislangston1664]

It said Vinita Okla. on the bottom of it. On the side at the bottom was written Bottled Dec. 25th 1925. It had a raised glass Indian head,& arrowhead.

[@joangravel2436]

Yes i agreed they are awesome places

[@Steve-ow4jt]

Hey Jay I love sharing your adventures with you and you picked 5 amazing ones for your top 5. I didn't remember 4 or 5, but I thought the two story weigh station in number 4 could have been renovated into a really cool house. Looking forward to your next video. Keep the great finds coming and stay safe. Steve in Oklahoma

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Absolutely agree with your list! I love seeing all you the places you find.

[@JPVideos81]

😊

[@mrsalwelch80]

I loved this video. I love how you tied it all together. I hope you are able to do more like them!

[@JPVideos81]

I have similar ones planned for the future. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@scotts272]

Huh, I just happen to be watching this on Labor Day weekend. I would be looking to take that Chevy home!

[@Billy_Wilkins]

23:27 yup, im a weed burner, too.......but, sad as it is, nobody gets excited to find me behind an abandoned building😂

[@breezeyb3535]

Mobile home gives me the idea it was trashed after people left. It's what happened to a person's mobile home after he died...someone I knew.

[@nancygermain6924]

Thanks for letting me watching.

[@juanita-zj2py]

Sad

[@elsalearing5566]

Great video, very interesting.😊👍👍

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks
