Stunning Nearly 200 year old Abandoned Winslow Plantation Down South in Georgia

This place was built in the early 1800’s as a successful cotton, sweet potatoes and timber plantation. The outset of the civil war would bring soldiers marching right nearby in Sherman’s March to Sea. Somehow the house was saved and spared destruction during the war. After the civil war the house would remain empty for decades until a couple bought the house in the early 1900’s. After giving the house a restoration it would be lived in until the couples passing in the 1960’s. Afterwards it was used as a hunting lodge for a couple decades until once again in the early 2000’s a restoration was begun but this time the workers reported tools going missing and hearing strange sounds/ doors opening while working. Ultimately they ended up refusing too go back and work on the place. House did have a strange vibe. Big Thanks to the neighbor John who stopped by and gave me some history on the house! Thanks for watching! Like and leave a comment if you enjoyed! I appreciate it!

It's probably closer to the 100 year old mark than the 200 year old one, this guy is very click-baity

[@cherlynn9841]

@@brettvogel8418 he's not at all click-baity. I have watched his videos for years & he is very respectful everywhere he explores & is a natural. He has enough followers on here to try click baiting for views. He's honest & down to earth. I love how he explores. I see so many urban explorers faking paranormal activity in abandoned homes just for views. Kappy is skeptical when it comes to the paranormal. Making a mistake on how old a house may be is understandable, but he does look into the history of homes.

That first house looks like it was a cozy place once. Love the old tree out front. The second house is so airy for hot, Georgia days. I wish architects would take at least some ideas from these grand homes, instead of same old cookie cutter, cheaply built houses 3 feet apart that we have today. After woodlands are bulldozed out. Thanks, Kappy-hi, Ruby!

What a shame. Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone’s gonna buy it. I willing to bet that painted waynes coating was probably a beautiful wood at one time. The two bedrooms were weird considering it’s a good size house. Thanks for going in even after the neighbor gave you the lowdown on it. 😄

[@rockybernard2997]

That first house looked like it began as a simple 2 over 2, with additions later. Honestly, for the description of being a successful plantation, it origins seemed small; it lacked the grandiose attitude characteristic of most plantation houses we're aware of today, although it was handsomely detailed throughout. Maybe that was why it 'survived' Sherman's March to the Sea? It certainly was a handsome lil' structure. Too bad its been negatively branded. It so deserves to be preserved but then it is not alone in that distinction. I'd love to know the other outbuildings it must have had, with the history that it boasts. The second house was a lovely memory of good times in the past. Thanks for the tour, Kappy.

[@lisalamp3537]

We are in the process of remodeling our kitchen in our 2 storey brick home built in the mid 1800s. Don't get mad at me Kappy! Grandpa redid the kitchen in the 1970s and made the cupboards out of plywood and counter tops out of linoleum. Remodeling with white distressed cabinets to look old. We painted the walls the same blue as your video shows. Glad I picked out colors done in that era

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

Good evening, Kappy, my friend! Finally, we've got a really, truly haunted house and not just one that scared us all half silly! I'll never forget those strangely eerie footsteps upstairs in that house or the door that slowly closed by itself! So spooky! I gotta say, though, that neighbor's account may have just been of a thief trying to run the workers off or maybe the neighbor was just trying to run you off, Kappy! That is lovely woodwork! I wonder if it was done by a craftsman or by an enslaved person. It's lovely, no matter who did the work. It is quite unusual, not at all like woodwork we have seen in other houses of this period. The rooms seem to be rather small for a "plantation home." Must not have been a very large planter's operation. I'm agree my friend's comment below! That pepto bismol pink and neon blue paint job is positively criminal and would raise any proud homeowner/builder from the dead to protest! It's so strange, the foyer and the first room's paint scheme was so understated and elegant and then somebody went all Woodstock in the second room! Weird! At least it would seem that they ran out of that awful paint and settled on a better shade for this room. The lovely pale blue is both elegant and restful for what appears to be the house's dining room. The kitchen would have been bright and pretty, no doubt. This back hallway is an odd place for a washer and dryer hookup, but it works, I guess! The bath is certainly handy to all the downstairs, but rather straightforward in its design. The sloping roof of the back hallway confirms that it was once a porch. Up those creepy, narrow stairs. More small rooms and an attic from someone's nightmares. No bathroom up here, so somebody had to use a chamber pot or risk dying on those stairs! I can see how this house seems to be creepy. It does have an odd air about it, suspenseful, sort of. On to House Number Two. A link to the first video would be very much appreciated. I just couldn't find the first one, though I went six years back through your YT Archives. I would like to compare the two videos. Thanks! Kappy, dear, please do not shine your bright lights at sleeping bats, especially in the winter! Wintering bats use stored fat to stay warm and, if they are awakened and flutter about, they use up precious fat and could even harm themselves in their panic. If a wintering bat runs out of fat because he is made to fly, he will starve before spring arrives, bringing food. Please, when you find a bat, dim your lights and leave the area quietly, as even the sound of your voice could frighten him and cause him to take flight. The bat may be cute, but don't be the reason it starves to death! Thanks for these two explores! The comparison between them is startling, with the first being so modest and the second so expansive and open. They were both beautiful and very interesting, though. Happy trails to you and safe explorations, too! I'm looking foreward to some Tennessee explorations in the coming months. Until we meet again, love to you from Tennessee and to Miss Ruby. Please give her my best wishes.

In the first house the "closets" in that first room seem to be an addition during "remodeling". Looks like another addition to the second room next to the ffireplace.
