I worked there as a security officer and manager in the mid 1990s. It was still called the White House Motel. The apartment on the second floor of the main building is where the owner's son resided. I've been up in that attic in the summer and you're right, it is hot as Hell in there. There used to be a clock tower above the attic. The main lobby was impressive before they ripped it out and turned it into a nightclub. The front desk was huge and there was a fireplace in the lobby too. It's a shame someone couldn't renovate it and make a decent business out of it. In the 60s and 70s, the motel was usually occupied by people travelling to Maryland to gamble. There were slot machines in the bar and lobby, but that was before I worked there. In the 70s, race fans would stay there to attend the car races at Budd's Creek raceway.

Dust is mostly dead skin and such flying around so it makes sense I suppose

Mike Hunt is right! The dust you see in your house is mostly you and your families dead skin cells so you would see more dust in a occupied space. I learned that on 50 amazing facts with Matthew Sanataro or however you spell his last name. Lol

My father owned this motel in the early 70'S and it was a thriving business. He built the Bar with the padding, served dinners with great food . The bar was a busy place then, lots of Washington DC came to visit at times. The economy killed this motel. We had a pool then as well.It is a shame to see it this way. I do understand and was notified today the motel is being renovated as close to the 50"s as they can get it. Today is 8/25/2018, we can wait and see!

Great job. You could have your own TV Series. Seriously.

[@LikaLaruku]

But then it would be scripted, like all reality shows are. & there would be commercial breaks.

[@MrAkihiros]

You've got a point. It would degenerate into a predictable commercial wuss. Near the end there will always an unexplainable thud somewhere and our intrepid hero clumsily trips over refuse on the way out.

[@LikaLaruku]

I remember when the creators of Homestar Runner were explaining why they'd never make a TV version. The TV station funds you & you make money, but they take away all of your creative control & censor stuff. I think Jhonen Vasquez said that about working for Nickelodeon too.

[@nola1439]

MrAkihiros well technically what he's doing is illegal. They don't enforce it, but abandoned places are still owned by people. The deed for the land doesn't just expire when the business goes down. So this is absolutely considered trespassing. Even if it's been foreclosed, the government still owns it. They won't enforce it on KZbin and such social media sites, but if you were to make a commercialized TV show with sponsors, chances are you couldn't get away with doing illegal things as the premise of the show, even if they're harmless unenforced things.

[@thelittlepinkdino234]

Anna A company/production studio could ask permission before exploring the premise and maybe get a little background on the lot as well. I don't want this to become a tv show though, I like that Dan has free creative ability to do whatever he pleases.

[@bubba99009]

The only reason it was as preserved as it is is because apparently there must not be much of a homeless population in the immediate area or they would certainly have taken it over and destroyed it. That's why this hasn't been half burned down and had all the copper ripped out of the walls to sell like all the abandoned places you see in urban areas.

You're not going to believe this but I actually stayed there sometime in the late 70s or early 80s. It was still American owned then. I don't remember a whole lot about it except the diner that was in the motel was cheap and it used to have screen doors on it. It's funny what a person will remember when they see something like this about someplace they've been. I remember how unusual the lobby was for this type of place. Old neon lit court motels never had a grand lobby, that's why this one stood out for me. Haunted? You bet it's haunted. There is not a motel in existence that someone has not died in. I've stayed in motels that housekeepers have went in to clean a room and found a guy dead or in the last case this girl ODd on pills because she was facing time in prison. Her boyfriend found her, they were 2 doors down from me. I had a bit of a strange experience that went along with that, so yes, motels are haunted and I'm sure that one was no exception. But thanks for taking me back.

[@maryannanderson7517]

+Jason Phillips Paranormal, seriously? Paranormal is just wild imagination. If you are alone in an old and abandoned place anything can spook you. It is usually just the wind or you are disturbing objects and the building that hasn't been touched in years. Animals and squatters are also likely since I've seen a lot of birds and animals in places with open windows and doors. Not to mention it is probably very common for homeless people, drug addicts, or anyone looking for a place to hide to take advantage of abandon buildings for shelter or a place to not be found. This spoooooky ghost shit needs to stop.

I wasn't the only one who looked him up I see haha, came here to post my findings but wanted to check the comments first and you beat me by 2 years lol.

[@yippdogg9250]

I found a few of the people on FaceBook that were on the "Do Not Rent" list, send a message to Adam Quade, linked him the video, said he was kicked out for smoking weed in the room lmao.

[@edeneverly2573]

Yea big info anyone can find in less than five minutes. Why you bother posting it I don’t know since it’s not anything interesting about the space being explored, in other words, who cares! If that loser was that interesting to people they could go waste their own time to look it up. Busy body people. Oooo look a criminal! Probably some serial killer!! Lol.

[@lunayoshi]

You're my new favorite exploration youtuber, Dan. I've bipped around a few channels, but yours is the most interesting and LEAST SHAKYCAM of all I've found. :) I like being able to recognize what I see without having to pause the video and try to make out what's through that motion blur. Also enjoying your choice to narrate rather than comment on the spot. Kinda weeds out heavy breathing and sniffling and other obnoxious noises.

[@nihalanth]

Boy I miss these kind of videos from Dan. There is plenty of urbex out there but NO ONE does it like Dan. It's the wind ambiance added to the videos, slow movement and panning of the camera. Literally no one has picked up on that ambiance effect that makes these so surreal.

[@snugglecultmedia3819]

Dan says, "I'm rarely freaked out. I'm pretty brave." Except I have yet to watch one of his videos where he doesn't say "This place is freaking me out..." 😂

I'm really surprised that no one else has ever made the connection of the chandelier in the main section of the motel, and the box of crystal bobbles in the attic (that go with it). Worth quite a bit of money if it were cleaned and put back together (which isn't difficult). Proof that thieves and vandals are stupid.

[@christy76840]

being that we hear the wrong throughout the whole video and only heard those bangs at the very end and just a few times I'm going to bet IT WAS NOT THE WIND. YOUR INTUITION IS TELLING YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. The one thing I've learn in my life through the years is trust your intuition every single time it don't lie and it'll never let you down.

[@denellelloyd1280]

I respected the way you respect the building.

[@liveecarbme]

There used to be a similar hotel outside of Marfa, TX. Allegely built in the 1940s and in business until 1966. The whole place looked like the people just up & left. Rooms were fully furnished and the sheets were still on the beds. There were even brochures in the lobby, still. Very eerie cause the place was along a very deserted stretch of highway 90 heading to Big Bend. The sand and dust seemed to act as a natural mumifier for all the old stuff. As far as I know the place was torn down as of 2002. It even had a sand filled pool in the courtyard.

I just found your channel and subscribed, very good video. I had an unusual motel experience several years ago. I was doing a bicycle tour and came to the tiny town of Mt. Dora, NM, three or four houses well off the road and a six unit motel between the road and railroad tracks. The motel looked ready for guests but not a soul around it. A storm was approaching so I was glad to find shelter. The office was locked but none of the rooms. No water or electric so I rolled my sleeping bag out on a bed, spent the night and rode on the next morning, still without ever seeing a soul.

[@kikoonthemove]

I live in NM, I should definitely check that out.

[@Azure5005]

Considering legal concealed carry is pretty much nonexistant in MD, and the police would immediately assume he's carrying for offensive purposes rather than defensive on the offchance he got caught, pepper spray is generally a smarter choice in this type of urbex situation. I'm almost positive he carries pepper spray (or something similar) for those reasons.

You would be perfect for filming a POV Horror Movie, or something of the sort! The way you turn the camera sometimes has me on the edge of my seat! Keep doing what you're doing bro, You're fantastic at it :) Definitely earned my sub.

+Shill Bots was thinking the same thing while watching his videos now. I watch horror Movies almost daily. But this week, I'm on Dan Bells channel. It's not about jump scares. I know it's not "scarier" like a horror Movie. But I love the mood while watching these videos.I hope you continue uploading loads of these videos Dan!

[@markgentile9532]

yeah man this dude can make some videos creepy stuff

[@urduib]

Mark Gentile America has lots of creepy places :) i envy them for that. In my country buildings unused are not allowed, so they get demolished almost right away. Cost a fortune, but slum is not allowed in any form. So nothing to see here, if it looks abandoned, it is not.

[@Keliimaoli]

Good stuff as always Dan, thanks for sharing, and Yes that place was very creepy.

[@Todd82TA]

I love the weird sound effects you add to the video. It's almost like the sound effects they'd have in those 80s space movies to make you feel like you're out in the middle of nowhere... decades away from the nearest civilization.

[@hollisterpatricia]

Dan Bell, I love your videos. The almost liveable quality of this motel reminded me of one I stayed at when I visited my hometown on Long Island back in 1992. I think I may have been the only guest at the time. The owner was quite friendly i told him i missed Long Island and intended to visit until i got a job in Georgia. He gave me the me the room right next to the office. When I took a shower I felt very wary because the walls attached to the office. Not scared though. When I was leaving he told me two days later he told me to come back, even if I didn't have enough money. He said it would be on him. I never did go back. Years later I spent plenty of time in hotels, some really bad places. Life is not always a straightforward path, that's what I'm reminded of with some of your videos. Intriguing places. They hold memories don't they?
