Mysterious ABANDONED 1940’s Estate Home With EVERYTHING Left Behind | THE POWER IS STILL ON

[@BlueCanaryTX]

It always breaks my heart to see these lovely homes just rotting… 💔💔💔

[@malindahenke5724]

Wow. Would like to know the story behind this one! So many questions. Hope the kids and cats are OK.

[@Chrise501]

The drawing of the house Monticello is the home of Thomas Jefferson. He started building it in 1768.

[@marthamitchell9452]

It looks like someone may have taken a drafting class.

[@craiggillett5985]

There’s a sad story behind this houses abandonment. It looks like the people left on a big hurry.

[@OUTTA-TYME88]

Could be financial troubles, people tend to leave in a hurry, no to to grab anything

[@KB-wh9bu]

Or died 😢

[@marthamitchell9452]

Seeing the baby equipment makes me sad. Adults can leave most of their things behind but they don’t leave the baby’s things. I have to wonder if something happened to the baby and they couldn’t stand to stay there. Maybe something happened to the whole family. Most people don’t leave a house like that.

[@malindahenke5724]

And I worry about the pets. A cat tree and a cat carrier left on the table. All of it is concerning. 😞

If you didn't notice, there was someone hiding in the bathroom doorway when you went to check the flickering lights.

Loved this house, very spacious and charming. Unfortunately, I don’t think I could live here, just kind of gave me the Willie’s!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@Jesusiscominglive777]

Ty for the tour🙌! It would be really nice to know why they just abandon the house like that & left everything! Isn't it strange why the power is still on! That one room upstairs was definitely a ballet room!

[@_papad8434]

There are many reasons for abandoned houses. Multiple deaths, no will, or otherwise held up in probate court. If someone did inherit, maybe they cannot afford the real estate taxes. Family estrangement. No heirs, and hasn't gone for publuc auction. Who can afford a house these days. A DC news radio just reported today that the average age of first time home buyer has gone way up bc nobody can afford. Maybe inheriting relatives live far away and are too busy working/ other to do anything with it.

[@Jesusiscominglive777]

[@carlashepherd9362]

Wow I love this house! Like the layout of it. Awesome video Ethan! 👍👍❤️🤘

[@maureenkramanak7003]

I always wonder about the backstory of these houses. Amazing that the power is still on!

[@nancyprovence109]

Someone is 0sying the bills and the taxes. Quit trespassing.

[@babyimpala-cs3wj]

@ Nancy actually many homes when abandonned can have power for months sometimes even years after until the provider eventually cuts it but can take along while as many providers will allow bills ect to build before actually disconnected the power. If you watch any other channels and many others will teach you this and sometimes Water is left too. After so long it will be deemed noone is there in the providers eyes and then no more power And sometimes it's homes die to be demolished none ownes it just left bit because there being demolished the state sees no fit reason to actually stop the power to the property as they've hem selves sometimes want to rescue fixtures from the homes to sell on.

[@minigirl6839]

With all of those boxes, it looks like they were packing up but didn't finish for whatever reason. Lots of baby stuff left behind. Those pics on the wall looked like the same couple. An older man with a younger looking woman. Strange that they left behind what they did. I would totally live there if I redid that kitchen. Cool find, Ethan.

[@renniehanback6021]

Stunning. They don't build them like that anymore. Definitely a Clark Gable house. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bshelley0]

I would check the expiration dates on the food packages to see how long ago someone lived there.

[@caroleknappsmith9010]

Beautiful home. I really hope it doesn't get torn down. It has obviously had others explore as all the papers and other stuff just thrown on the floor. Thanks Ethan for the video. Blessings and stay healthy! ❤❤

Back at it with another adventure Ethan ❤ lets dive into it shall we .It looks like the owners just left .It doesn't have the early stages of decaying yet or vandalized . beautiful home 🏠🏠

[@ellennewth6305]

It always amazes me how many people leave personal things in these abandoned homes! This house is certainly attractive and spacious. Thanks, Ethan

[@sabrinadawn4112]

More than likely it's a foreclosure. Most people who lose their homes to the bank, only take what they want and leave the stuff they don't want for someone else to remove. Some will trash it badly out of anger.

Oh I noticed that you didn’t usually say: when passing a mirror: what’s up guys ?? I must admit i felt a little sad 😢 and left out lol 😂 just kidding 😊 but yeah i love going in your adventures of nostalgia. 😊 I just bought a 1971 green sedan deville cadillac it’s 19 feet long. 365 HP.

[@bennetfox]

A good way to date when a house was built is to look at the toilet tank lids. If the toilet hasn't been replaced, usually there is a date of manufacture stamped on the underside of the toilet tank lid.

[@afridgetoofar1818]

You honestly think anything in that house is original? It’s been remodeled.

Nothing is even dusty. Those people must have left shortly before Ethan went through the house.

[@ethanminnie]

about 6-9 months ago

[@tobystamps2920]

My interest in this video is seeing what was original from the 1940s. The kitchen and baths have been remodeled. Some of the windows are original. The fireplaces look original also. As well as the stair railing which was pretty cool. I didn’t care about all the stuff left in the house from the latest owners. Some of the furniture looked like it was from the era. I hope someone moves in and preserves the house.

[@Susie-n1f]

[@susanwilliams2506]

Beautiful old home , to bad it's abandoned. Thanks .

[@Pam-cr3bp]

Beautiful staircase. Great video 😊

[@agiles6483]

Beautiful home. Nothing makes an abandoned house feel a little off (spooky?) than boarding up the windows and doors. It does seems the best way to protect a house, however. I don’t know if this house belonged to an elderly person who passed away (the bed frame in the living room is common when a person can no longer get up the stairs) or to a married couple who divorced or there was some other family loss. Either way it appears that some items were removed, like the bathroom mirror, fridge and stove. It seems like someone has tried to sort through belongings but they aren’t sure how to do it or less scrupulous people than yourself are coming in looking for objects of value. The dining room and kitchen don’t match. A large dining room like this where you can host dinner parties for family and friends needs a slightly different kitchen. The current kitchen has been redone recently with inexpensive cabinets, it also lacks counter space, so it would be difficult to prepare meals. The pantry wasn’t always one, it’s too deep and could have been fitted with more shelves and storage if planned better. The stainless steel counter unit looks like it was from a diner or restaurant and lacks the cupboard doors it probably should have once had.

[@helenhancock7295]

This is a beautiful house, I would even liked to of lived in that one. Thanks for showing us.

[@mimzyc9949]

Beautiful house. Seems like they left in a hurry. Kitchen needs work but otherwise I would live there. Thanks for the video.

[@chillysnowgirl8322]

We all know what they're gonna end up doing to it. 💔It has such a pretty staircase (love how it curves on the upper part when you were showing the chandelier), and i liked that marble powder room and details like the wainscotting and fireplaces, and dining room. The kitchen would drive me crazy (i hate how it's laid out) and i'm not a fan of the dark blue or grey paint in there, but i really like that soft yellow that's in there. I get the feeling there's a sad story about why they left so much stuff behind. 😢 Thank you for capturing it before it's likely torn down. Take care and have a good night.

[@malkakossoy3747]

Wonderful ride. In the downstairs, i liked the the blue trim around the doors plus the stairs and chandelier when you looked up. See you on the next one!

[@tigre7739]

It is a really cool example of a home from that era. I love so many of the interesting and unique architectural details. The entry is really nice, and the large rooms are fantastic. Very cool explore! 😎✌️

[@jenniffer9034]

Hello Ethan They dont want anyone to come in and destroy whats left! Make it look run down and abandoned Wow looks like they JUST left it too 😮 Damn that house is nice too The masterbedroom was down stairs,because there was a big bed frame in it! i think that was a baby room up stairs.

[@jenniferquackenbush7458]

This looks like the person(s) who lived here may have passed away in an accident & either had no family to retrieve their belongings or they didn’t want to. Unfortunately, this happens a lot. It could’ve been foreclosed on as well. It’s a beautiful home. It’s unfortunate that homes like this end up rotting instead of being sold to someone who actually needs a home. A lot of banks will just let the home sit & rot. There could also be squatters that have been living there as well. I really think this was probably a foreclosure. It’s really sad. I hope this family is safe & happy elsewhere.

[@kurtl4761]

I'm surprised that you didn't realize that an 80-year-old house with all it's contents left intact inside means that the owner(s) died with no heirs. How old would the original owner(s) have been if it was bought in the 1940s, and it's now abandoned in 2024? And thee are crutches in the entrance hall closet. And there's a newer wall railing on the right side of the stairs (not original). Lots of clues that you missed.

[@Funrollercoaster606]

but there's some baby equipment meaning someone DID have kids, and those are newer crutches. Wondering if the house owner died with a heir, who took it in, then they died with no heirs.

Another darling house! I agree that when you see the former occupants leaving so many articles and only taking essentials, something big and not wonderful likely happened in the family. Someone didn't have the time, emotional strength or physical wherewithal to button up their lives there. Death or desertion by main financial support? Devastating loss of a member of the family? Somebody couldn't cope. I find myself wishing I could go in there and sort the house out for whoever didn't have the strength to do it.

The last day all I had was my couch and a chair and a few other things, Don't remember what it was. But he showed up and was mad cuz I wasn't out and I said I'm waiting for my friend to come back with his truck, He was dropping off a load for me. He got mad and called the sherriffs and "2" of them came out and told me I had to get out. I still had several hrs, But it didn't matter they made me leave without the rest of my stuff. I even showed them the papers. Didn't make a difference

a MLB player lived behind me in the 90’s. He and his wife left behind very similar type possessions because they weren’t worth the trouble. Including tons of baby items. It just all eventually got donated and the house sold. Nothing seems sad about the sitch in video , they just left. Probably an absent landlord. The lighting is cheap (and def NOT 1970’ more like 90’s), the appliances are cheap… what large house has stackable w&d? The bank likely was forced to foreclose and didn’t spend funds to do anything w property. Literally nothing mysterious in video well as far as I got before I was too bored.
