Oh nice! I swear to fuck I had no idea you even did a podcast. Following too many channels or I'm just out of it. Probably both. Yeah both.

[@Forgottenchannels]

Also, any chance you would consider a follow up visit to that Summit resort place in The Poconos? Checking in but also perhaps showing some things you didn't the first time around? My favorite video of yours and also made me obsessed with the place. Humble fan suggestion.

[@MatthewWest0037]

So crazy, I just was thinking about the elkmont, especially the wonderland club, then you post this. Thank you. I looked it up as i was watching this, and I found that some arsonist burned it to the ground. Heart breaking.

[@nonconnahordeath]

Dan, when did you shoot the Wonderland footage? I had heard the hotel section burned down back in 2016 or so...

[@grzegorzszymanski6687]

Wood in those houses was probably treated. Varnished or painted, but even with today's wood lacquers you have to paint every few years on outside surfaces, even those that are never touched by anything. Elements wreck untreated wood. So it's not hard to imagine that when roofs leak for decades wood becomes completely rotten and collapses on itself.

[@LBBEE-xl8qj]

I can picture Dan drinking scotch and wearing a velvet smoking jacket when he narrates these videos.🥃😎

[@borisjohnson7799]

L.B. BEE ho says he doesn’t already do that lol.

[@ioy6891]

I can picture him also doing that while filming 😁

[@joshuaayres121]

After giving the sedatives to calm Rick

[@borisjohnson7799]

Joshua Ayres there is no calming Rick lol.

[@twizz420]

Much joy.

[@appalling22]

I love urbex type activities but 99% of urbex videos are utter shit, either because they're about showing off, or trying too hard to be full of action and drama. I really like that yours convey the atmosphere, quiet, stillness and suspense of exploring an abandoned place.

[@TerrisLP]

Straight facts.

[@robertfreitag1319]

You were the first urban explorer I ever watched and I still think you are the best. Your filming technique and storyline are always the best. Thanks for going back to this style of filming. It's as if you were sitting in an easy chair relating a "tall tale" to a group of friends or family. Top notch work!!!

[@elvisneedsboatsbennett2455]

Dan tells me a bedtime story, I sleep. Thanks, Dan👍

[@MEXICANMOOSE1976]

I really appreciate and miss this random side of your filming Dan!! Thank you for bringing it back!! Stay awesome!! 👊😊✌

[@sal]

I adore this series.

[@fixman88]

I did some research on that place a while back and it's abandoned because the land was leased from the government, and once the lease was up the first time they were granted a 15 year extension but after that they refused to extend it further and the 25 or so people that were still living there had to leave. Also, you didn't get to see the main clubhouse (the big white building you saw was the hotel/ballroom), because it collapsed in a storm due to neglect years back and the park service removed the remains. Awesome video!

[@bxtl57]

Those stone chimneys were things of beauty....

[@morgan32]

I used to have pretty bad anxiety and watching Dan's Quiet Time and Dead Mall videos always helped me calm down. There's just something so relaxing about them but still very entertaining. 💖

[@louisianabred616]

Dan is one smooth dude!! That voice is smooth like BUTTER!!

[@EphemeralProductions]

Louisiana Apple buttahhhh! Lol!

[@oldenweery7510]

Ah, at last, someone has found just the right word for it! Thank you!

[@bobsyouruncle1574]

No way I'm putting on headphones, this plays through the whole room system.

[@fixman88]

Same here, this gets my PC sound system plus subwoofer treatment.

[@ManateeMaiden]

Dear Dan, my favorite KZbin therapist, I want to thank you so much for making your videos, specifically this one because it hits home to me. I live in Florida and don't like to go outside much because it's so horrendous 90% of the year and nature is one of the things that brings me true peace and happiness, so I spend a lot of time being pathetic in my room watching KZbin in front of a fan.. but earlier this year I was admitted to a residential mental health treatment center in Sevierville, Tennessee, which is also located inside of the national park, and I was there for about 7 weeks before I returned home, and what you say in this video about the fresh air of the Smoky Mountains and how you just want to bottle it and keep it forever, it really connects with me, because on my first morning at the treatment center, I went outside and took the biggest breath in and just closed my eyes and listened to the birds chirping their "cheeseburger" song and I knew it was the beginning of the rest of my new life... I really truly appreciate you, your sincerity, your intelligence, your sense of humor, and most of all, your fucking BALLS.

[@goochI034]

The first houses in the beginning of the video is where they filmed District 12 from the Hunger Games. The bakery was where Peta worked/lived.

[@tinastanbaugh]

Dan you have such a great voice, you could read the phone book and I would listen!

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Thanks, Dan, for taking me on your journey. Love the old houses, and I can smell the fresh air.

[@juliamary7314]

Dan, this was so lovely. I can't put into words how much I enjoyed it. The serene sound of the wind, your voice and the natural decay in the mountains. This is why I subscribed to you so many years ago, these videos are genuinely pieces of art. I am so surprised it took you so long to upload this beautiful footage. Sending love from Minnesota, Julia ❤

[@OnlyHopeRemainsTTV]

It'll be awfully hard to get in to those homes with heavy machinery in the second village, the tree growth is too dense. They'd have to do some clearing first. And I highly doubt they'd want people going in to manually dismantle them, that's really only feasible if a building is still mostly structurally sound, which those definitely are not. Those may well just be allowed to fall back into the earth.

[@ubertalldude]

Abandoned ASMR is a perfect descriptor! Love these videos

[@Clay3613]

Dan ASMR before....I certainly hope he doesn't haunt my dreams. ;)

[@k1773ns]

Yaaaas I love quiet time videos! Uploaded right as I was headed to bed.

[@evanredacted7977]

There is beauty in abandoned buildings and this video is a perfect showcase of that.

[@MikeydCT]

Just watch the last 2 you posted. I love them all.

[@lisaellisor4686]

Dan, you honestly turn off my panic attacks with these. A thousand blessings on your beautiful soul. Bonus points for using the Hunger Games site.

[@pbmaxman]

The Wonderland Hotel/Club closed on Nov 15, 1992. In 1995 a fire destroyed parts of the abandoned hotel.

[@loyalninecoffee2024]

Keep up the amazing work Dan. I'm a straight up Bell addict!

[@KezFromAus]

You are amazing Dan Bell! Thank you for all your efforts to entertain us and to help us relax! Much appreciated! From western Australia xx

[@mathildaf5100]

I love the pastries and cakes building 💜

[@jeffgrier8488]

Great video Dan, I have always loved your videography, and your narration really completes this video!

[@melaniearter687]

Thanks for all these Quiet Time videos! I didn't realize I needed one of these until I started watching this one just now. I feel way more relaxed.

[@shirleyv.steenis2423]

You should do some Story Time as well! I really miss those, so interesting to listen to.

[@zacgodby6248]

Interesting story; I was camping at the elkmont campground in June of 2016, and wanted to explore the wonderland hotel, but it had sadly burned down, apparently in the spring of '16. So to see your footage captured just before this grand building was lost to history is really special.

[@bonemachine1975]

I miss Quiet Little stories. Stranger in yard, sasquatch etc...

[@SamBellGuitar]

Love it. The 'Calm' app needs to hire you to do some features for their sleep story's !

[@mitchellswope6717]

You have a wonderful talent for relaxation! I am at complete peace. More ASMR!

[@Valerie24810]

This was great ❤️ I'm eagerly awaiting the next one!

[@50KENT]

Wow! So very incredible and unique! So glad I just now discovered your videos. I’m a huge haunt fan and also a huge ASMR fan as well. You got a new subscriber!

[@truthseeker2222]

I really enjoyed this, it was indeed very relaxing. Can’t wait for more!

[@BrittenyRosee]

One of my favorite bed time videos. I even watch some of the more "scary" type videos just because your voice is so... calming. You have such amazing gifts and talents and I'm glad you share them with all of us

[@mariez.5349]

Love watching your videos walking through these old "gems"... I imagine the people that have stayed there... all the dinner parties and get togethers that had taken place over the years... lives were lived there, it would be amazing to hear stories, see photos of when they were alive and vibrant...

[@elizabethanndiieso-nappo7126]

Great stuff!! I enjoy your videos so much!

[@ashleystewart34ify]

Dan, I recently found your channels. You do excellent work!!! I've been binging on your videos while I'm working. Keep it up!!!

[@jenkaiser721]

I can not get enough of these!! So happy for quiet time :)

[@10191927]

Dan these videos are so soothing as well as suck you right in. These may be your best videos to date.

[@maryturner6272]

I just love you videos. So relaxing to listen and watch.

[@cheyanne8901]

Awesome!! I'm so glad that you are doing this intentionally. You have the perfect voice for ASMR. When I'm not watching spooky video's, I'm watching ASMR video's. Now you have given me both ❤️ 😴💤 Thank you 😊

[@rachelynn3079]

I love Elkmont! I discovered it in the summer of 2017 so the Wonderland was already demolished. They actually demolished a lot of the homes last summer😑

[@adrienne9212]

This series makes work soooooo much more enjoyable!!

[@diannemc4840]

Truly enjoyed this vid. Seen things on Elkmont before. But nothing like you showed it. Very well done.

[@ladylydiathorne]

In a time where i have struggled to stay on this plane your entire channel has brought me back. Thankyou for helping me hang on

[@darkbladehitsman]

I’m so glad that quiet time is back I’ve missed this calming peaceful side of the channel

[@jonathancrane13]

excellent video, simultaneously fascinating and laid back.

[@Zombie-adventures]

Love this!!! Great job Dan!!

[@thevanity2991]

I’m so happy I found your channel! This has helped calm me down at night. You’re awesome! I’ve been struggling with Anxiety and have always been fascinated with old buildings. 😬☺️👏🏼

[@JoshQuill]

Just catching up on your previous two podcasts on my way to work. Keep up the great work!

[@amandahudson431]

Your voice on quiet time is very relaxing!

[@LavenderLullabies]

I really appreciate you sharing such awesome footage with us all, and especially how much effort you put in to getting such high quality. I’m not really sure how to explain why urban exploration videos mean so much to me, but they’re so interesting and invoke a lot of feelings. Your videos in particular help soothe my anxiety by giving me something to focus on like the stories of these places. When I’m in a better financial position I plan on becoming a patron for sure. But in the meantime, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your content and the effort you put in.

[@linall2345]

I SERIOUSLY need these Dan if you can continue! I was on Patreon but don’t work any longer but want to get back on there as soon as I can. Thank you for all you do!

[@petes.6609]

Keep this quiet time series going Dan I can't get enough!

[@brian3422]

Love these videos! Well done. Makes me curious of all the abandoned buildings/small towns around me in Cincinnati

[@wangeyes2940]

Amazing!! Thanks again Dan I love these!

[@Shannyy_]

Love these vids Dan! You’re the best!!

[@juliecooper1695]

[@lillyboldlyshewhispers7145]

Very much enjoy your Quiet time videos Dan. A quiet glimpse into the past. It's ashame these mountain retreats couldn't be restored or recreated into retreats today. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing Dan. Yes, I crindged for you walking on those porch planks. Greetings from Ky.

[@sroonik]

[@kellystanich7715]

This was beautiful, just what I needed to relax.

[@nannerz1994]

This is my favorite series of yours

[@MissDsPlace]

This was quite enjoyable, quiet, calming video plus I enjoy hearing the history, you take the time to read up on places you film and it's refreshing, I envision how the home once looked and how people must of enjoyed their surroundings 😄😋👍...a interesting look back in time for sure!.... Thank you Dan 💗💋---------->>>> Thumbs up! 👍

[@StormieStrom_Pretender]

[@dergottsmom]

Thank you Dan, such a pleasure as always.

[@referchiq420]

Your voice is very relaxing! Watching this before I go to bed. Maybe it will help me get a good night's sleep...

[@grnpeepers2683]

You can film & narrate a video on manhole covers & I'd still be captivated! I love everything you do for us! I've been a long time fan! Thanks, Dan! 😘

[@urbexmilitia6103]

Love your videos man ! Thank you

Great video Dan !!! Your one of the best !!!! You for sure have the most soothing voice !!! You deserve many more subscribers. I’ll be more relaxed and most likely back to sleep after this video. Keep them up !! 😊❤️♥️✌️

[@AfallinAngel]

Dan you are turning me on... Thanks now I can't sleep 😝 I love this quite time idea! It's so relaxing and enjoying to watch. Thank you for all the hard work you do!

[@dbox360]

Alright Dan, you're on a roll 🎥

[@dalelouisejohnson]

Awesome! I love these videos! Keep them coming!!!!

[@HardlineFeminists]

*OMG!! These put me to sleep right after my nightly cannabis toke!! A perfect Dan Bell video for me would be one that employs ASMR techniques and Dan Bell's softly-spoken VO narration.*

[@BenHelweg]

I've appreciated these videos.

[@ozvictoriaadventure]

Thanks so much for sharing .. gorgeous place 😊✌🏼

[@matthewjames2100]

Great Video Dan!! I think these are easily good enough to put on your main channel!! Some of the crap I see from other KZbinrs, they think they are really good. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to the next ADR!

[@captainjd02]

Bottled air. Dan's been watching Spaceballs again.

[@thobbs4526]

Your voice is liquid gold. The images and lighting are just beautiful. Thank you.

[@thobbs4526]

[@ExploreNC]

Henry River Mill Village is such a cool place , they have closed everything up and they started charging for guided tours, glad to be able to see it before that happened, another very similar abandoned mill village in NC is Oakdale Mill Village in Jamestown NC its awesome as well !!

[@TruckGuy88]

Great videos Dan!

[@christinem9830]
