Nobody's Left: Family Vanished Leaving Everything Behind | ABANDONED

Every small town has its secrets, but few are as haunting as the story of the Anderson family. A seemingly normal family living in this secluded mountain home. Until one day... they vanished without a trace.
It's been three years since anyone last saw them. No one knows where they went or why they left so suddenly. This house stands frozen in time; something was off. Something didn't feel right about this whole thing if I do say so myself, which had me perplexed. So, I just had to ask a couple of neighbors about their thoughts.
The first neighbor said this: "They were just a regular family, you know? Parents, kids, and a dog. They kept to themselves mostly, but they seemed nice enough. And then one day, they were just... gone. No warning, no goodbyes."
and the second neighbor said
"I remember seeing the lights on one night, and the next morning, everything was dark. We haven't seen them since. It's like they just vanished into thin air."
"What happened to the Anderson family? Why did they leave everything behind? Today, we're diving deep into this unsolved mystery. I'll explore the theories, the rumors, and the chilling clues left behind. So join me as we uncover the secrets of the abandoned Anderson house."

That is not a baby booster. It's a step stool for adults. It pulls out to reveal the steps.

[@manithefoodie]

Please go back to this house and see what's behind the doors

[@f62darkstar]

I say go back and respectfully get those doors open.

[@beguileme8201]

I'm sure it has been suggested, but how about just running a property tax search on the address? It's public information & can give you some clues on when it was abandoned or who is still paying the property taxes.

[@queenrose5506]

the fan on the back of the heater is called a blower. it helps circulate heat through the room.

[@ScottPearson-wl4tu]

I can't believe how much stuff in that house that you have no idea what they are. You really need to educate yourself in American culture and customs.

[@laurastrobel718]

This place is a treasure trove of antiques and collectibles. The cat under the dome is covered in fake velvet and has a small vial of cologne in front of it.Originally there was a fluffy maribou feather behind the cat to make it look like it's wearing a feather boa. I think the brand is Coty. Super X drugstore carried these back in the 1970s. I had one that was turquoise blue. The eyes were little rhinestones. Skinny Dip was a popular cologne. I don't see how anyone could live in a place that junked up but you'd be surprised. I hope that you can find out more about what happened to the family. Thanks for the video.

[@huguettelarochelle6843]

for the fan , to circulated the heat. the stove , the cavity on the right is for hot water , i grow up with a stove like that

[@jollyrogers75]

Why do these houses always look so big on the outside but so small on the inside? It makes me so sad to see pictures and letters just abandoned like that (and ashes??). And who makes their bed before they decide to disappear? Wish me knew what happened to them.

[@Nan-Cee]

Who empties the fridge before they decide to disappear?

[@sofiadober1239]

I believe this was the grandparents house too. Saw catholic images of Jesus and the clock. (My in-laws had one too) the hanging on the wall was rug latch hook. Very popular in the 60’s and 70’s. I guess the grandparents passed and the family only took what they wanted. The perfume cologne was from Avon again same time period. The Knick knacks and glassware was also about the same. It really is very sad when a family member passes and things are left behind. I have gone through this in my lifetime too many times, but always stayed to the end to make sure things were packed up. Delivered to family members, friends, neighbors or donated to charity. Their life mattered, and their belongings did too in some sense. It really was heartbreaking for me to go through it, but it honored their life, memories, and saying goodbye. 😞

[@vivianholland6575]

Who is the owner of the house 🏘️ ❤

[@Nan-Cee]

You should be able to find out who the actual owner is. It is public info through deed recordings and such. If they left in a hurry why was the fridge all emptied out? If it was the grandparents house and they passed why would they have theft the change in the bank? Why would you not sell the property instead of just leave it sit there. I would search for wills also. Please go back and see what is behind those doors.

[@kbhom4481]

I think one of the hardest things to do is when you’re facing the end of your own life, trying to figure out what to do with belongings that might not be of any meaning to anyone except you. I have distributed as much as I can. I think the rest is going to go to charity. It’s hard trying to make sure that those you leave behind are not going to get stuck with taking care of relationships, things, and legal matters.

[@sofiadober1239]

@@kbhom4481 you are so right. You are extremely thoughtful of those left behind.

[@Daniela-Christianson]

This is a family that vanished, not a known deceased person's leftoevers

[@SmokingFox420]

Just wow and also I'm a Gemini too. Thank you for the explore! Please go back? I want to know what is behind the blocked door

[@tiffanyrose8810]

Here a observation maybe the the family are in that room where the door has that piece of wood blocking it because I think it strange great video rick.

[@Luv2learn2]

That's a pump organ in the front room. No need for electricity. The pedals pump air into it.

[@wondergranny2299]

That's a plant holder hangin in the window.

[@fruitypie3219]

Maybe after the grandparents passed away the family just left it. Sad for the loved ones ashes to be left like that. I got uneasy vibes. Thank you ♥️

[@juliemarieroth8672]

I googled Warmmanning it says its a Gas Heater. I I'm curious what's behind the closed doors?

[@manithefoodie]

Very interesting house and I wish we could see what's behind the luck doors? Thanks for hard work ❤

[@kimthomas829]

We had a heater like that one except ours was twice as big & ours was a gas heater. I never has trusted gas, but that winter storm we had back in 93/94, that gas heater came in handy when the power went out. We stayed warm & still were able to cook food & boil water on it. Thank God for that. ❤❤❤

[@bobbiejones3942]

You need to do some research. You don't know much about antique and vintage

[@wondergranny2299]

That's not vinyl, it's linoleum.

[@janetgalloway-hobson4412]

Hey Rick! I love watching your adventures. The big black box is a wood stove.

[@darcie2348]

Thats awesome that your a gemini too! In one of your past videos I heard that you were an 1982 baby as well. It awesome to see another 1982 gemini out there. You have some amazing content and I hope to see more abandoned from you in the future.

[@teresanuttall4784]

I’m a 1974 Gemini too abd when he discovers the ring o as surprised I wish we knew what happened at this farmhouse.

[@kylaura]

THE FAN BLOWER BLOWS THE HEAT AROUND

[@wondergranny2299]

Here in the south we say: y'all (you all), includes both male and female persons, unlike "you guys" which sucks.

[@Nan-Cee]

Here in Pittsburgh PA, we say younz. It covers both he & she too.😅

[@maryjanemccoy1159]

He is from the south. He’s from New Orleans.

[@PioneerCity1767]

The Heater has to be plugged into the electric outlet for the fan to work blowing the warm air out in the room.

[@TrashorTreasure-ie3sz]

Hi Rick!❤ yes my GMA had a heater like that, so it is a heater. That carpet 😂 hanging on the wall was a latch hook hanging I use to do latch hooks, they actually still make them. I was gonna say that’s an organ 😂 I’m not sure why they would pack up and leave overnight. Have a great day!

[@Lantern_Jack]

These are my favorite type of video's. The ones where a bunch of stuff gets left behind. The items always have a story to tell. It's more than just a decayed and vandalised Building.

[@devonnep.7126]

It is a "Warm Morning" stove. My Mom had a kitchen stove like that. I remember her putting kindling in it. She made some good biscuits on that stove. That stainless steel sink wasn't original nor are the cabinets. It would have been a white porcelain sink and a lot longer. Thanks for the video. Saw a lot of things my Mom had when I was much younger.

[@brucesumter4327]

wow so cool old Fram House you need to go back to that House ty for video

[@jennifernavolis4018]

Wow! This was a good one! Would love to hear follow-ups on places like this if you find out anymore info on the families & if the buildings get demo’d or restored! Thanks so much for making these videos & braving the bees and all the things so we can go on these adventures with you!

[@wildtiger56]

Hi look at the detail on the wood of that electric organ, and I saw the old school vinyl tiles, enjoyed the content, nice look over to the water in the backyard would of been nice, there thanks for the video ,etc😀🏡

[@carolwiechman4096]

Thanks so much! Amazing house! Thanks for sharing!

[@jamesbarrow4688]

This is James Barrow it's a beautiful house and it can be saved and fixed up and needs painting and repair and needs new flooring and remodeling and New Walls and needs new doors and windows and a new ceiling and needs a new porch and needs new metal roof

[@priscilla5306]

The thing of it is if the house had become unlivable for some reason, you’d think they’d take family pictures and personal items

[@ScottPearson-wl4tu]

Does this guy ever read the comments on his channel ?

[@gwendolynbriseno3752]

Alot of that glass is really worth some money today.

[@wondergranny2299]

That carpet picture on the wall was handmade from a latch hook kit.

[@patti2581]

Wouldn't it be something if you went back a second time and everything was exactly the same EXCEPT that teddy bear was gone!!🤣😳

[@DeadlyKnot]

Another good video!

[@williammcvoid382]

YES!!! GO BACK AGAIN!!! ❤. I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! ❤️

[@dmsparatta]

Hey Rick, electric on coal stove is to circulate warm air, on the kitchen wood stove the part you lift was for water. Love this video!

[@sandrapayne9833]

I can't believe that they are going to let this house go to waste and all that furniture go to waste.

[@sandrapayne9833]

Yes you should

[@melodytwitchell4898]

They might had to go in witness protection and maybe tradgey 😢

[@kristinnorton-vi2qi]

Yes u should go back find out what behind that door and fireplace beautiful place great explore xxx

[@tamzcountrylife]

Thank you ☺

[@glenn3035]

My favorite thing in this video was the Elvis and Priscilla over the double bed upstairs

[@HeidiTeutsch-pt5pj]

Nice and clean house 🏡

[@tonywalker3795]

all that stuff left behind so sad they took nothing with them

[@KateBogdenxx]

Again I would have liked to have seen the house. NOT WHAT IS IN IT !!!

[@priscilla5306]

People in the 70s 80s bought these hook & rug crafts with patterns and made these rug and they hung them up like paintings.

[@jamesbarrow4688]

This is James Barrow this house not good to be torn down

[@timothyshort_shortvideos]

If you look at the letters carefully on the heater, it looks like "Warm Morning"

[@barefootminis]

They disappeared without a trace and there are doors nailed shut. Hmm.

[@anitalucas3249]

The way the duck's got started in a jeep. A girl put duck's in her jeep. She was young. She died, but ya can look it up. Will tell more details. I really enjoy your videos and the humor you have makes me laugh.

[@user-gu1jk4qn6b]

That's a Warm Morning heater. They were made to burn wood, coal or coke, and were manufactured by the Locke Stove company, in the 1940s. The kitchen stove replaced the fireplace, probably, before electricity arrived, around the early 50s.. I saw a wringer washer, out on the porch. Pretty cool. That's not a baby booster. It's a kitchen chair/ladder/step stool, for women to reach high shelves, and to sit at, if she is at the counter. That's a home made Teddy bear, with button eyes. I know when people married, the husband would make a home to bring his wife to, and it might have a kitchen, a parlour, 2 bedrooms, and as children were born, more rooms would be added. Farms went through a really hard time, in the 30s, which would account for the vinyl flooring. It was there to keep in the warmth.When the grandparents died, the kids were grown, and the family would have gone through, gotten what they wanted, and left, always meaning to go back "one day", but no one did, and left it to decay. Maybe they'll see the property, maybe they think parents did, but it's possible that the grandparents are now great great grandparents. Considering that I remember lots of the things you showed, from my own childhood, and I am a great grandma.

[@marybethmooney7490]

That was a hook rug/we had a Christmas one w/different panels, & we all had to work on it (all 8 of us!!!)

[@jeriamato08]

The Ames junk mail probably had a date on it

[@sandrapayne9833]

For the fan to blow the heat out

[@kylaura]

I believe that is a heat a lator/wood stove to heat and maybe cook with

[@glenn3035]

My God Rick it's a heater. It's got an electric fan to circulate the heat it's got to be plugged in for God's sake

[@sharonjones1222]

I loved these house do more

[@jeffbrooks6344]

Back to reality, The elders went in nursing homes or lived with relatives and/or passed and who ever inherited is paying the property taxes and taking care of upkeep. Solved!

[@susanclark754]

I would definitely go back, now we're all curious 🤨. I think you should bring a medium. Definitely creepy and that teddy bear extremely creepy.

[@priscilla5306]

I think grandma died and no one emptied the house . Love this explore! Maybe they argued and it’s in the court system

[@romalacroix8162]

Good video, Check for expiration dates on foods. Dates on envelopes etc.

[@1776-fy1ec]

You really should take that teddy bear home and cuddle up next to it....

[@priscilla5306]

Interesting that they cleaned the fridge but left the family photos

[@thedude19766]

I guess that the Anderson family moved in 2001 and you look at the date, it was two months after 9/11 and I guess they left on that date and you should go back and ask the neighbors on the last time they saw the family?

[@musiclistsareus1029]

That's a pump organ. No electricity needed, you punp the foot pedals to provide air to the pipes

[@Joanipuuur]

That blown glass swan is probably murano glass

[@doinggreat9197]

37:33 Not worth much.

[@SarahGreen523]

Grandma and Grandpa's house. They died. First one, then the other was moved to a nursing home or moved in with one of the kids. The house is still in the family, but has been abandoned because the maintenance and repair and updating is too much work and money. Just my guesses based upon experience and observation. I'm curious as to what was behind those doors, but not enough to destroy property. That stove in the kitchen is an old wood burning one. You picked up one of the burner plates where you'd put a pot or pan or kettle. My guess is they were Catholic due to all the religious iconography on the walls, like that clock that fascinated you.

[@patriciakunze5545]

Yes you should go back cuz I'm curious about what's behind the fireplace in that door

[@HeidiTeutsch-pt5pj]

What happened to the family

[@jeriamato08]

The door probably leads to the porch if that was the first floor??

[@Joanipuuur]

I had a bed like that as a kid

[@Livingdeadgirl72]

Yes, it’s an electric heater. They probably had the coal and wood maybe as decoration to make it look like it was a heater that wood would go into it could be decoration.

[@Joanipuuur]

Thats a cool vintage stove

[@gwendolynbriseno3752]

It looks just like my grandmas house in Illinois.

[@lindatimmons3675]

Probably one got really sick and had to go into hospital for a lengthy amount of time and the survivor just couldnt deal with or handle the financial situation and just walked away only taking a few necessary items. Or both may have passed on. You could do research on property ar the hall of records in the closest town.

[@annegleason8442]

I wonder what behind the block door!!! I 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Tom-mb7pj]

I think the organ might be a pump organ , and the pedals work the internal bellows

[@pennymorson9475]

I remember having one when i was a kid we heated the house and cooked on top and that cord was the exhaust fan

[@virginia12671]

I think you should go back and see what's behind the doors.

[@priscilla5306]

I think it would have a plug for a fan

[@paulademarco1585]

Issues etc ran for safety.

[@user-ge8ut4xw5g]

If its the Andersons they went missing in 2000 from Fulton Mississippi??

[@Joanipuuur]

What's behind those locked doors yes go back

[@sandrapayne9833]

Heater

[@cassidygoins]

Yeah you should go back for sure

[@user-xf5zm8fn1u]

The organ is a pump organ. It works when you pump the pedals.

[@gwendolynbriseno3752]

Electric ran the fan.

[@gwendolynbriseno3752]

Latch hooked rug.

[@Joanipuuur]

For a fan

[@denisegillum9562]

By the way that is not a roll top desk

[@gwendolynbriseno3752]
