Once Grand Abandoned Kilpatrick House Down South In North Carolina *Built in 1878

[@marywegrzyn506]

Imagine how perfectly beautiful it must been back in the day it was first built n the interesting people who built it n lived there. So much history within those walls !!!

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

There's so much contrast between these two houses! The first, though clearly vacant for years, spoke volumes about love. Someone cared enough about his wife, his mother or maybe just his farm to make this house beautiful. The hard work it took to make the mantels pretty would indicate a man's trying to please his wife. It is stunning and I'm glad you saved it for future generations to see. The decaying and fallen down outbuildings behind the house were evidence of someone wanting to keep his possessions where he could keep an eye on things. It's obvious that this man cared for his farm and was proud of it. The first house holds no air of sadness, except for the gentle sorrow of people leaving their beloved home. The second house speaks only of sadness, of confusion and abandonment, of a woman left alone in a house that was once filled with joy. Instead, that gentle, living soul found itself bereaved, widowed and decaying, like the house itself. She tries to keep things in order, thinking that will lessen the pain, but it doesn't help. The rooms are too quiet now, as his voice no longer rings through their peeling walls. She waits only for the day she leaves her prison of memories to rejoin him. Their clothes still hang in the closet in the hall, carefully protected and waiting for those who will never return. Clearly, she did not plan to leave this house, but to wait where she had been left. How shocked and angered she would be at the ransacking of her once neat home. Desecration was carried out by someone who was searching for what? Money or valuables perhaps? Only the house knows the answer. What a mess someone made in her once carefully arranged kitchen! Sometimes, it seems that the mess in a person's mind leads them to create similar confusion when the opportunity arises. That is certainly evident here! This room was needlessly trashed, every cabinet emptied, every drawer upended just for the malicious glee of an unformed and undisciplined mind. How very sad that someone poured out his anger and energy on this helpless house, which offered no defense from this molestation. The second kitchen is a bit of a puzzle, but may be an attempt to create a summer kitchen. There was no stove in the first room, but I think I glimpsed one in the second. That's the only plausible reason for having two, I think. Kappy, a long time ago, before your parents were born, there was a land where people grew tired of beating the dust from their rugs, tripping over them, of having cold floors in winter. Carpet manufacturers found a solution to these problems which many people liked. It was called "shag carpet," and it was the rage, the answer to the prayers of many a busy housewife back then. Nowadays, in this age of hardwood floors and tile, it seems strange to those who never saw the age of shag carpet in the 1960s and 1970s, but there will come a day when fashions will change again, and people will flock to buy thick carpets for their floors. Everything, dear boy, goes in circles, whether it is clothing, home fashions or flooring. Wait and see whether I'm right. Haha! This house is not evil, folks. It's just terribly sad at the chaos that fills it. That's what upset your keenly feeling young spirit, Kappy. To see someone's possessions broken and strewn about is upsetting. Neither is this house angry. There is no ghost waiting to avenge this sacrilege. There is only the anguish of a gentle, loving spirit at the destruction and desecration of the things that were all she had left, "junk" that she once cherished and held dear. Kappy, I thank you for another great video which was quite a lesson, really, in human nature. You always do a good job. I'm grateful for your allowing me to tag along. Love to the Ruby girl, as always.

Great houses Kappy! The simplicity of the first house, with very arts and crafts era mantle pieces, was really sweet. To still find a house that never had plumbing is amazing and astonishes me every time. The second house was unique with the 2 chimneys alongside the front door. I still remember screened in porches off the kitchen, so you could cool off while cooking or shuck corn or peas. The big pantries full of canned preserves. A simpler time. Makes me nostalgic.

[@EchosJourney]

I am one of the original Urban explorers. I'm 56 years old and when I was 14 I would go into abandoned houses just like you do. Back then there were no cell phones or computers and cameras just took one photo at a time. Of course police were hot on your trail to catch you for trespassing so you had to be very secretive. I would find an abandoned house go in it and clean it up inside and that would be my hideout. I love the way you see the details in the house. I always saw the beauty in the homes and not the mess. There were several times that I did get caught by the police and a few times that I ran really fast and got away. Unfortunately, all those places were torn down long ago. But now I have your channel to watch the next generation of explorer do what was started so many years ago and enjoy your videos. I'm happy to pass the torch on to the younger generation of explorers!

[@jeanhansel5805]

There is something poetically tragic about these old abandoned houses. Whoever built the first house put their heart and soul into it; incredible word working details. I imagine in its day it was a happy and bustling farm. Those porches provided good relief from the hot and humid summers. It makes me very sad when I hear an old house is being demolished to be replaced by shopping centers or tract housing so was happy to hear this may no be this house's final fate. Let it rest while nature takes back her own. The second house looked used and abused to me. It's original occupants may have stayed behind in spirit and upset by anyone intruding on what used to be their beautiful home. Always trust your gut in these situations. At least the wasps are happy! I loved the turtle; I have turtles too.

[@wendycrawford1792]

Jean Hansel. I agree. These old homes had beautiful, simple lines. The first house( the Crawford house, Crawford being my name had very primitive fireplace surrounds- quite folk artish . We all know what happened as the years went by. People were embarrassed by their old homes-wanted to modernize- then we got to the 70’s where everything that was beautiful was covered- wall panelling, shag carpets, garish cupboards, gold appliances, beautiful elements torn out and covered over. Now, of course people flock to see old historical villages, old homes…. Europe. Sad to see the Crawford house used for storage- probably put up a ‘modern bungalow’ years ago. In the area where l live( eastern Ontario) there’s quite a trend to buy old homes and fix them up. This l love to see!! Housing is a terrible price right now, highest ever! Rent is the same! I’m very lucky. 35 years ago l bought a stone house from 1845- original stone fireplace. Got it cheap back then. When l see some of the prices of houses in parts of the states, l could cry. A house that’s going for 165,00.00 in some states would be 500,000 here! I love travelling in the US. You don’t see abandoned houses around here like you do in the US countryside! Anyway, l thank my lucky stars everyday for my house. Well, all the best from Canada 🍁🇨🇦🇺🇸❤️

Usually I roll my eyes when people say, "oooh, that place is creepy". But I will say, there was something unsettling about that second house. It is a lovely house underneath, though.

[@buckeyedav1]

The second house a lot can be told by the kitchen at one point it was very well organized and where the lady of the house spent a great deal of time the room he said "stinks" I saw a lot of full jars of preserves sadly over time some probably exploded from temperature changes but even at death she had food laid back from harvest with the piano you can tell at one time the family entertained and it looks like from the Christmas candles on the mantle and the wrapping paper I saw she must have died around Christmas probably right there at home. Sad that her children did not clean out Mom's house and tidy it up. Houses have a story to tell though and we can read a lot in to the way things were left behind. Anna In Ohio

Hi Kappy. I liked the fact that in the first house the bead board around the bottom was cut at an angle instead of straight up and down.Made it unique.

It's almost as if they knew you were coming and spruced the place up.🤣 I could easily see back in the day someone sitting out on the upstairs veranda sipping a mint julep in the summertime.
