In this week's episode, we discovered an impressive abandoned mansion, known for its nickname "Mansion of Malediction", while it is yet not certain for us why this place is given this name. Built in 1888, this impressive manor is sadly enough vacant now for more than a decade. Nature is taking over, leaving the property in advanced states of decay. Enjoy the episode, as we explore the interior of it in every little detail.

Man I wish I had your job I hope you make money at it but I don't know but you got a good job for your age I used to love exploring old houses when I was younger. I even lived in some I had no place to live but I didn't do that stuff Break Stuff in graffiti. I live near Buffalo New York one time it was 10 degrees below zero I found a cabin that was open with electric. And an oven. It probably saved my life. All I had was my clothes I was 16 and homeless well I had washed my clothes and hung my clothes a few feet away from a heater. I went to the hotel and somebody came in there and said your cabins on fire. And I said don't tell anyone what cabin? Yeah I had a tough life I don't know about you guys. I lived in a place with no roof under five feet of clothes to stay warm old nasty clothes. People's cars.

Was a lovely example of a French home. My granny was french, I loved her house so much. It was just beautiful. Everything thoughtfully decorated with love, beautiful colors, fresh flowers, chandeliers, beautiful paintngs, wallpaper with matching linen in the bedrooms. Thank you dearest for another beautiful home. Glad you protected your lungs. :)

[@bettynewton6160]

It’s incredibly sad, to me, that such a beautiful place was allowed to decay like that. Even if it was the black mold that caused then to have to abandon the home, why didn’t they save the furniture? (And all the other things). I just don’t know how people can walk away from something so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@onlawr]

I loved the rooms with the piano, you said it perfectly about the fake flowers making it feel a bit alive still. I agree that's the best chandelier. The edit and music you guys really show the love and respect for the owners. Much love and blessing what a beautiful life to travel and see through yalls eyes.

The beautiful house reminds me of the French quarter in New Orleans! I always love your videos! You do such a fantastic job of capturing the place. You also give us a look at how it was for the family that lived there. It’s a little sad to think that someone died that lived there and this is all the belongings that they left behind. But you have so much respect and capture everything without making us dizzy. Allot of urbex guys move the camera so fast that you can’t enjoy the video. Perfect camera work!! Will be waiting for the next one as always! ♥️

The wallpaper in the main bedroom - beautifully done. I don't know if you noticed but the color theme is following the hanging lights. Turquios/green Even the tile floors in a bathroom. I think that was another bedroom but the bed has been removed.

[@lynnebunning7273]

It never ceases to amaze me the number of homes, small to this size, empty, unloved. Whereas once there would have been laughter, love & the noise of a family going about there business. What would they think if they saw their home today. The fake flowers do give the appearance of life. The picture of the child looks like the 50s as smocking on the child's dress was very popular around then. Your genuine empathy for the family & home is very commendable. I've watch other videos like this & none show the compassion you both show. 🇦🇺🐨👍❤️❤️❤️ Australia

I have to admit I am addicted to you guys and all your explorations lately and I, unfortunately or fortunately have become addicted to both your explorations throughout Europe and most importantly your narratives...just knowing your enthusiasm and comments about all that you are discovering and appreciating . I am a most fervent fan from Canada. Time capsules are the best, aren't they? I love the way it is always a new experience and a surprise. I will always be a fan of yours. Best regards and keep up with your explorations. I hope you never stop to discover new places to keep us so interested in places and people of the past and ...who knows...maybe the present. Take care, sweet man. Your voice and accent...gives me peace. I love your curiosity, while discovering and reading the books. I often answer your questions, knowing the answer, but, of course you can't hear me. I am an old 70 year old woman...but I believe you wouldn't mind me appreciating your good heart and respect for exploring but keeping all as is with distinction and dignity. Thank you so much!

Hi Maureno, Explomo, Beautifully filmed! - Great start of the video with Lesley. - I liked your comment and the very sensitive way, how you pointed out the details of this really interesting mansion. - Of course there were not only highly valuable antiques visible. You could see therefore, that the people really lived there, and that it was not just a place like a museum. - My favourite room was the one with the beautiful old piano and the decorative and marvelous chandelier at the ceiling. I also liked the strong time capsule vibe of that room. Very well done. You also chose beautiful and very suitable background music, which I enjoyed listening. - I am already looking forward to your next adventure. Take care and stay safe. - Greetings also to Remon. - Peace and kindest regards.

I used to sell Avon and the little plastic umbrella in the bathroom was an air freshener. It contained scented wax chips and was to be hung in a closet to keep clothes smelling fresh. I liked seeing all the needle art; the needlepoint pictures on the walls, and the crochet doilies and the long runner on the fireplace mantel. Besides being a mansion it gives the feeling of having been a home that was enjoyed and happiness shared within. I loved the big beautiful chandelier too!

The little hanging ornament that looked something like a closed umbrella at the 28:18 mark is what I believe to be a pomander. It holds scented beads or potpourri. The little holes would let the scent out. Also, the urn that you were concerned held someone's ashes looked to have a little spigot (or tap) on it, making it a coffee urn. It's such an amazing and beautiful old home. It's sad to see it just rotting. I would love a home that amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
