They Abandoned their Parents House ~ Home of an American Farming Family!

Exploring abandoned places is my hobby and finance it all out of my own pocket and the donations I get from the people who love watching the documentaries we make... A small donation would be greatly appreciated! ► / brosofdecay
Check out Danny his channel / @es.forgotten
For most, this is an old abandoned home, but through their eyes, it was a place they have always known.
Down in the south of the United States, we found an inconspicuous farm, that once flourished with life, now abandoned for almost 2 decades. The freshly married couple Sarah and Herman received this piece of land as a wedding gift from Sarah’s parents, on this secluded piece of land they build the house of their dreams. Over the course of four decades, they raised a beautiful family with no less than 7 children, ran a successful business, and made wonderful memories throughout their lives. Eventually, all the children moved out, and unfortunately, Sarah aged quickly causing him to pass away early when she was only 74 years old, this left Herman devastated.
But he kept working on their dream and lived at the farm until 2007 when he was in his late 90s. During this period he was not left alone, his 7 children and 13 grandchildren would visit regularly and their memories from this time can still be seen inside. The question remains, why did the children never show interest in their parent's life… Now we can only see a neat reflection of what it must have been like, everything is still in the exact same place as Herman left it behind almost 2 decades ago.
With the greatest respect, we will document their forgotten home, and bring their memories back to life for one last time.

I was looking at that first house and the woods surrounding it and I was like that place looks so familiar... when you started walking through the woods and hearing the morning songbirds and looking at the sun coming up between the trees I knew exactly where you were. That old house you stepped into used to belong to my Aunt and Uncle many many years ago. In fact, he built it and we used to visit in the summers and played all back up in those woods. I was thinking this just before you said "We're in Virginia" and I knew it was home. My gosh, I wish you had walked through their old house so I could relive some fond memories. It's so sad to see that it's just rotting away and soon will be swallowed up by time and no one will ever know that it was ever there and those who lived and raised their families there. It made me so nostalgic. Wow. A Blast from the past.

[@paulsmith8212]

Fantastic! Leslie you heard the lady. The first house you entered was a home a subscriber of yours grew up in. Now this is really fantastic. It’s to bad you and Danny are no longer in the area . I would have loved to hear the story behind that home . Leslie and Danny , how often does this happen? Ok - You guys are doing a swell job . Interesting place . Maybe a family member will get in touch . Stay safe…

[@patrawish874]

It had nice architecture:)

[@tjclarke4604]

That's amazing!

[@tessmcnamara9230]

the leaving of family photos speaks of a lot of hatred....so sad

[@patriciamariemitchel]

@@tessmcnamara9230, the pictures left behind speaks of hatred. How so? I'm curious. You don't have to answer. 👀

[@kelleycolvin5632]

I will never understand why relatives don’t take all the belongings out of the houses after loved ones passed away. It makes no sense

[@1Grandma62]

at least take the pictures

[@SJ-ni6iy]

There’s a house in front of me, that several people have tried to buy. The family did the same thing, after the owners died, they came and got what they wanted but left everything else.

[@QUEENofHEARTZ1973]

One would think at least the photos, & beautiful china & the china cabinets

[@wyattmoates]

Sometimes there are no relatives that are able.

[@laurawilson4641]

Because they don't want it. It's to much work..

[@tjclarke4604]

My Dad always had English Leather cologne. He and my mom sadly passed away 2 years ago, and me being the only child, was the one who went in to clean up the house, and Dad's English Leather was still on his dresser like in your video. I kept it, along with his other belongings. I didn't walk away from my parent's house though, I held on to it and will one day sign it over to my daughter when she is old enough. The memories that flood through you when going through the home of your parents can sometimes be overwhelming, it's a difficult experience.

[@kiethdeakin5927]

Has the house decayed anymore? Do you still plan to give it to your daughter at that point would it be worth it anything other than demolishing because of the decay?

[@tigerlillybell75]

I'm from VA. When you enter any house, especially a farm house, look up over both the back and the front door to check if there is a horseshoe hung up with the open end pointing up. It is for good luck. The thing about the freezer on the porch is that it is simply because no one wants to live with a freezer that size inside the house. The inside frig usually has a smaller freezer side or area. The one kept on the back porch is for storing all the meat when you kill one of your hogs or one of your cows. Also for freezing an storing all the vegetables you grow in your large vegetable garden, as well as the fruit you grew or picked. With a family of seven, raising veggies, your own chickens, pigs, and cows was important. Also, every farm had a milk cow. There was usually a smoke house for smoking your hams under hickory fire. If you were a hunter, you needed the huge freezer to store up the game meat, also -- all of which you ate on over the winter. Also, in VA, it is considered bad luck to open an umbrella inside, too! The saddest thing is that the children have not taken all the old family photos. Great video. Good work with the bird.

[@patriciashelton6644]

An earlier commenter stated the husband Herman died, then the wife, they had a son also named Herman. He died there in 1999.Must have been an only child, never married etc.

[@tonyaduvall49]

I would be so heart broken to know none of my children appreciated a family home of decades enough to keep it. I sure would have kept it!. Makes me sad for the Herman's. There beloved home they worked so hard deserved better just as they did.

[@bridgetevans2188]

That’s why you have to enjoy your home while you’re here!! Because most of the young family members won’t keep it or take care of what you work so hard for!! It’s sad,but true!!

[@twill1007]

I know ! When I pass houses like that I think of the memories it must hold, I k ow several families in our area that just let the family home sit 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@pamelamartin411]

I can see the children moving away, but keep the upkeep of the home just as much as the grass for reunions. Being secluded today like that or having the feeling of being stuck can play on one’s mind. I bet Mr Herman and Sarah have an abundance of grandchildren that unaware the original homestead is still standing with their valuables.

[@roxielugraf2944]

I believe the soiled cloth on the upstairs dresser, was a brown shoe polishing cloth. I saw that many times in my father's shoe polish kit. Wonderful home. Thank you for your respect and love to these homes. I especially love when you are with Danny!

[@vergerinesalone8853]

We need start keeping the houses our family leave behind, for wealth and the next generation

[@kimmanthe86]

I absolutely love the respect you show the owners and their property

[@kikibean2024]

The photos are amazing! It's like they bring the time they lived there to life. There's a lot of love in this home.❤

[@Marie-Artistic_24]

I adore your care and respect for the homes of decay. 💜

[@mycheleflemister18]

Blows me away why the family did not take such precious photos with them. Given the dates of the homeowners look like they would have been my grandparents. I would have renovated that whole house.

[@1432b]

Do you have any idea that would cost in 2020?? That's why it most likely didn't get repaired. 😥

[@blackdiamond696]

The some generations just don't care no more. Sad😢

[@patriciashelton6644]

The father Herman died, then some years later the wife died. They had a son named Herman also, he died in 1999. He must have been the only child, he lived there at his death.Reason why everything is left.

[@vickioldfield3203]

I'm 54 and have lived in Alabama my whole life - Apparently we have a lot in common with Portugal when it comes to umbrellas - All my life I've just always been told/known what a big no no it was to open an umbrella in a house - All I could think of while he was opening it was "Oh Lawd, please don't tell me one or both of these nice young men are about to fall through a flloor" -

[@francoamerican4632]

The reason it's bad luck to open an umbrella inside of a house is because it can hit someone in the head or knock something over.

[@judys6663]

I'm English and we never open an umbrella indoors , no new shoes on tables and don't walk under a ladder and if you do, you have to spit after , funny but yucky .

[@donotsupportterroristgroups]

I'm Puerto Rican and I've heard the same thing about umbrellas.

[@marialaing7130]

I love the music when the bird was flying around. The fast pace: the Bird Dance! So thoughtful of you guys to let the bird out! ❤❤❤

[@tmfrc18eighteen92]

The cans that were covered in fabric on top of thecupboard was a stool. Very common in the country, reuse everything. My grandmother and mother made them. I have one. Great episode as usual. Thank you. 😊

[@ruthbeck2050]

The large cans you found was a foot stool. Most are covered with crochet and very useful. Yes that with the Christmas cards was made to hold the cards they got. Interesting place, thank you Leslie and Danny

[@kathym2501]

They seem like a loving family. Maybe the kids didn't want to take their things out of their family home and ruin it. I love how you rescued the bird.

[@fancypants7706]

Freezers take up so much room that a lot of people kept them on porches, where they were convenient to get to. Very difficult to put a freezer in a basement.

[@MuirlySims]

at 15:35, that is a handmade footrest. My grandma had one very similar to the one in this video, only she crocheted the cover. If I remember correctly, the way hers was made was she took the clean, empty cans and partially filled them with sand to weigh the footrest down a bit. Then she covered the cans with old cloth from the legs of old blue jeans. Finally, she crocheted the covers over everything.

[@denisewatson5295]

What a very nice house 🏠. You could tell that the house was filled with love ❤ Thanks for the explore 😀 😊.

[@carolroach6056]

Wow, I hope the family comes back and retrieve all the photos, they’re priceless.

[@Janadu]

I've recently subscribed to your channel and I have to say yours is my favorite of all the abandoned properties creators. You display such respect for the buildings, but more important I love how you respect the people who used to live there. I love how you weave a story as you go along. I can almost picture these families and their daily activities. Gathering at the dinner table. Cooking in the kitchen. Retiring for the night. I feel their spirits. Thank you. And I love your Dutch accent, too. You should do some ASMR type videos reading stories or something. I could listen to you speak for hours.

[@theseamstress6315]

The plant hanger is called Macramé it’s a fun craft to do.the furniture looks like 70’s style. Wonderful explore, nice story ? The house shows that there was love in this home.

[@lovelylady1966]

The second home they went into is very much savable it's a shame family could have gotten together and pulled resources and fixed it up and kept it in the family.

[@daphnepierre1038]

Ungrateful generation that is called

[@justingrind1908]

Sometimes the kids struggle to do anything with their homestead because they love the memories and not wanting to let go. It is still happening to my grandfather’s former business building and he passed 30 years ago. His kids just feel he is here because of it which is good and bad

[@greshlyntaylor3523]

The children should have renovated the house they grew up in and use it for family gatherings and family reunions. If those walls could talk I'd bet they would have some good stories to tell.

[@justineheinrichs2798]

Excellent explore. So glad you saved the frightened little bird. Looking forward to next time ❤

[@doloresm7396]

Don't know why but this home makes me very sad. Almost like he was still mourning his wife. Something very special about this home. The very first time I ever felt something like this during one of your explorations. Strange.

[@queenoftenthousandmoons8864]

Me too tremendous grief and loneliness like no one cared

[@ihearya4405]

After all the children grew and left, it was probably a lonely place for them both.

[@bettyG101]

Thank you for telling their stories, but mostly for always treating these places with respect. Everyone has a story and I love hearing about them. 💜

[@MariannaKatz17]

We don't open umbrellas in the house, either. We're from the upper midwest, America. Thank you for your videos and giving one last time to pay respect to those who went to heaven.

[@daphnepierre1038]

So true my carribean parents taught me not to open umbrella's inside the house also

[@francoamerican4632]

It's very easy to hit someone in the eye when opening an umbrella inside the house, dangerous!

[@ms.blurea3008]

This was so amazing to take us on a journey back to the past! This one actually made me very emotional and I didn't know the family but it brought me to tears by bringing back memories of my grandmother and her similarity to things left behind. I actually look alot like Sarah & her daughters. It made me think of all of our childhood pictures that were lost and sabotaged, and how we don't talk or have a relationship at all with my 8 siblings, we were so close up until about 2005, that was many years ago, it made me think of how many families grow apart and don't get together like back in those days it was very important to keep connections and visit & create memories, & let the children play in the yard & eat together at a big table. Things have changed & I'm realizing those were the best years of my life. Thank you for sharing!

[@fatenmohamed4235]

[@craftyourwaytopeace]

I'm always amazed at what's left behind. It makes me sad inside that no one wants to keep the pictures of their family. Do you ever enter a home & FEEL any sense of happiness or profound sadness? I'm so happy that you guys don't treat these relics in disrespect. You're always respectful & that makes my heart happy. God bless for many more SAFE adventures. 🙏 ❤️Those small "Handkerchiefs" Are also known as pocket squares.

[@1029tbarton]

3:48 year vehicle registration ends, so registration ended June 2000 5:05 thats a dirt dauber nest. They are similar to wasps but dont sting 22:06 thats macrame. It's a method of tying twine into designs. I think i saw another macrane piece hanging on the wall in the first room. 34:58 that card was signed by Christina, her husband David and their three children

[@patrawish874]

I really like how you celebrate the families lives, it is touching. What a beautiful, happy couple and a lovely, large family. The bird rescue was very sweet. How he left precious items around that were his wife's, ❤

[@27sparkle73]

This was one of my favorite places you have explored what a beautiful family.

[@Marie-Artistic_24]

We had a freezer on our farmhouse porch when I was a child in Southern Ohio

[@celiareginarogero55]

Hey Lesley! Good evening! I love farming family stories. Their customs are interesting and their houses have many different details!! Beautiful couple in the photo! ❤🇧🇷👏

[@slamrock17]

Herman and his family lived beautiful lives.

[@samcolt1079]

This whole family grew up there and went on there way in the world. Mom and dad last time in there lives ended there. Looks to me like they might have had a tough time living there. I hope they had good lives and are happy where they are now. I know mom and dad are happy. May God bless them.

[@needlemeister8233]

Just love the way you show the houses, an the lives of the people. Very Respectful. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@inthisworld414]

I hope the grandchildren, who are probably in their 60's and great grand children get involved

[@haffohaffo]

من المؤلم حقاً أن يهجر منزل بعد أن كان مليء بالحياة . اتابعك من المملكة العربية السعودية

[@MuirlySims]

Judging by how the house is literally surrounded by freshly ploughed land, it looks like the land may be rented out to neighbouring farmers to grow crops on. Fields aren't usually that close to the farm house without barriers of some kind (fencing, hedges, etc).

[@theirmom4723]

I also noticed a road way in the background. I am wondering if some of the land wasn't taken for eminent domain to build a bypass road way.

[@jackn57]

Hey Lesley, such a sweet video. The patch of rug at 20:30 we used to make in school in art class. Also the pot hangers too we would make in art class in the 1970’s. I love the respect you show to the families and take a forgotten home and breath life into it one last time. Just goes to show we can’t take anything with us but our memories. God bless you and your crew. I’d love to see you come to San Diego California. If I learn of any abandoned places I’ll let you know.

[@debraellison6255]

The landing upstairs had 70s bedroom furniture. They may have used that as a bedroom. The record player is like the one mom had in the 60s. She would play records while she cleaned. Especially the kitchen floor. She had a bucket and scrub brush on hands and knees so listening to music made it not so much a chore. She had a beautiful voice and would sing along. The last thing you found on the bed was not a shower cap but a hat I'm guessing late 60s. There was five of us in one bedroom. Thank God for bunkbeds. We never knew what alone time was but we didn't care. We stuck to each other like glue. Thanks for the tour and nostalgia.

[@Phoenix_flying]

I so love the way you respect the history of the former owners/ inhabitants. You have such a lovely way of conveying the history.

Hello ,Lesley! It's always so touching watching so many prescious family memories forever forgotten in abandoned houses! I loved the story behind your exploration and your beautiful presentation! So kind of you to save the poor little bird!!🙂 You and Danny show so much care about the animals and nature wherever you go exploring! Thank you for this great episode!❣️

[@kelleennordquist5697]

Alot of people stored their big freezers on their porches...at least in the south and electric can openers are very NORMAL. The little glass bottles above the stove held spices at one time. The bird part was the BEST PART.

[@stupidphone2361]

The tin can footstool was popular among crafty people in the 70s and 80s. I remember family friends had them in their sitting room for us kids to sit on.

[@cherieamourofficial]

You are correct about the freezer. My grandmothers freezer was on her porch in the South. Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing this abandoned property.

[@Jollyjilly58]

Thank you Leslie and Danny. What a lovely house. It must be worth something or at least the land so it’s so odd it’s been left. I bet it was lovely when it was lived in

[@montymyahmolly]

I don't understand why the children didn't take special items like the baby slippers and those family treasures - those letters. I would LOVE for you to do a follow up video with the deeper story. Build, go deeper.

[@juanamorales97]

I know. The pictures. I don’t get it.

[@maebell7515]

What enthusiasm you had when you discovered the family photos! And it's true that they were really nice! The bird hunting sequence was very funny, and luckily Lesley was able to set him free! It was a very friendly exploration and a beautiful house!

Hey hey dear Lesley, This house is looking surprisingly idyllic and still in quite a good condition from outside. - The photograph, showing this beautiful couple and the broken glass has somehow a symbolic vibe after my opinion. - So I am already very excited to be once again part in your evening lifestream and seeing you and listening to the background story. - I very much hope to see you and Danny soon at my place and so wishinhg you all the best, peace and kindest regards. - Stay safe and take care, my friend.

[@jenniferdrake1210]

In the house I grew up in England only had three bedrooms and there were five of us. I always shared a bedroom with my sister, my kids are lucky, they have always had separate bedroom, how things change over the centuries. Jenny 🇨🇦

[@patriciascott8939]

Actually, that was a large and beautiful home for that period when it was built. The area where the bird was flying, was large enough to be a bedroom area. Also, it is obvious that the owners of both homes had money.

[@josij7639]

I''m sorry all the memories were abandoned. This reminds me so much of my Grandparents home in the Carolinas - Freezer on the back porch, the old pictures,, the furniture, the furnance, letters and cards saved for momentos. Fortunately our family kept the house and a family member is restoring it so family can keep visiting down there. Thanks for treating their home with the reverence and appreciation it deserves.

[@darlalapole2943]

Yes, the cans sewn together were used as a pouf. The cans were covered in fabric and then connected together with stitching fabric around and on top and bottom.

My wife received her grandmother's jewelry box, and it is the EXACT same as the one in this video. We are in Virginia as well... it must have been a popular box or a sale at Penny's 🙂

[@florecita5059]

I can't understand that the children or the relatives who were left in charge of the house, leave everything to rot😵‍💫, they could at least keep the personal things like clothes, photos, have them, or give in charity because it is so sad to see how so many things that could be used have been left in oblivion😔, I could not leave a property that belonged to my parents in such oblivion and disuse, and the photos are something that should be something very precious🤗, how many memories must have been left between those walls, thanks guys for helping the poor little bird that was trapped there too...💗🐦

[@armandob.castenelli3525]

Very sad that the children didn't even bothered to collect any of these memorandums. Beautiful story of Sarah and Herman. May they rest in heaven.🙏 After seeing all that blood, I wonder if that is the reason why everything was left untouched. Hopefully you didn't opened a Pandora's box.

[@CrowSpirit1977]

It looks like the place could still be fixed up. Lots of great charm in those old farm houses. It's mostly likely haunted tho.

[@cheryls8460]

Thank you Leslie and Danny. As always that makes me feel very sad that their children never came back to clean and empty the house. I can just see them walking through the home and talking and laughing. The pictures are priceless...

[@ujona]

Hello brother Lesley! Wauw indeed. Seeing this video reminds me of my parents house in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Dad was notorious on never throwing out anything. We honor our parents who passed all within a year by holding on to heirloom cherry wood furniture especially mom's prized dining room table complete with China closet and her expensive chinaware. As Koreans, family always csme first regardless of our differences in life. Love how you honor these abandoned places as well as giving respect. I hope that you can do one for my family so we can cherish.

All of the children must have died to have left the house without taking the family pictures. Family pictures were very precious to African Americans because they helped to connect and preserve their past.

[@queenoftenthousandmoons8864]

That's exactly what I was thinking because pictures sometimes were all we had left

[@jaypees.8766]

I don't understand, many are homeless nowadays. Kids moving out chasing for their dreams and probably one day wanting to have a house to live in. But why neglect this beauty? If this were my parents or grandparents' property I would be so happy to treasure and present this home and pass it on to the next generation.

[@robertbelt5515]

I love the way you guys take such a personal interest in the houses that you are exploring, especially the way you explore, the details, the history of the houses that you try to find out about, the two of you make a great team, one doing the commentary on the history of the house, and the care of not doing any damage, you guys make the experience of the exploration of the house seem like you were attached to the home and it’s former occupant’s, the care of editing and the music you use, it just fits the story line, the care of making sure the former owner and the family members are mentioned with the respect or disdain they deserve, and that’s what makes it a truly amazing experience to see what you guys are seeing, you give each exploration a storyline that is a perfect fit for the house, Thanks for sharing these truly amazing experience with your subscribers, I’ve only recently discovered your channel and I’ve got my wife following you guys with a subscription, and I’m subscribed as well, I hope to be able to become a supporter of your channel, I know it’s not cheap to do what you guys do, and as always, keep up the amazing work that you’re doing, the content is amazing, and the passionate exploration of each and every house you film, the fact that the both of you are from different countries, that is a plus for exploring, the wealth of knowledge about the items that are left behind by these people, your knowledge of the names of the former occupants and the respect you have for them is truly amazing, peace to the both of you and keep the content coming 🙏✌🏼

The American farmhouse I grew up in burned down :( A nice approach-Thank you for going through Anna B's Aunt and Uncle's forest to get there. The first house looked interesting, too.

I remember when my mom died. Going through her stuff felt like an invasion of her privacy so nobody wanted to do it, so I can understand why the family left everything behind. You can see by the jewelry box on the porch they took the valuables and probably a few photo's with them, so those sentiments only go so far.

Your respect and care for decaying family houses is adorable

so sad that the family didn't go in and kept the pictures and passed those down to grandkids and great grandkids

That was an oven for pizza. That's a swim cap. It protects the ladies hair from getting wet while swimming.
