The Beautiful Packed Abandoned Sprigg House in The Mountains of Tennessee *Built in 1885

[@susanjelleberg4485]

The bedroom windows went to the floor. Very cool.

[@JasonMax01]

i bet those houses would have been very peaceful before vehicles. Imagine just hearing the sounds of nature every day and nothing else.

[@oblivion5562]

Sounds to me like the old farmer that lived there never left!😂 I like how you stayed calm. Great job man

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

I hear sounds all the time in these places and a lot of the time it’s just animals who have moved in, with the absence of people! But have no clue what that was! Thanks for watching!! :)

[@MaryEss-lm4gf]

Sounded like footsteps. Not a bird. Hope they can salvage the doors and mantel at least.

[@BettyWhite-rr2wk]

The footsteps in the first sounded more like a person than a bird. You are very brave kappy!❤😊

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Yeah they were loud for a vulture I’ll admit that! Very strange, thanks for watching! :)

[@janedee6488]

Those footsteps scared the heck out of me. Sure sounded human. Thanks Kappy.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Yeah they startled me too!! My guess is some big bird but who knows! Thank you for watching!! :)

[@bridgetmuehlberger5141]

Damn, Kappy! Birds in the attic?!? If so, they must’ve been emus or ostrich! 😂 That one kinda freaked me out a little!! 😊

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Yeah was definitely a big vulture or something! Atleast that’s my guess! Thank you very much for watching!! :)

[@jameshaberkamp5927]

That sounded like the heavy footsteps of a person in the first house.

That is what I thought too. I'm now wondering not necessarily haunted but a soul that is not at rest and left behind

[@marishkaambrus8381]

it definately sounded like footsteps and loud bangs too at 7:34 till 7;54

[@desireejames1538]

I remember flowered linoleum from when I was a kid in mine & also my grandma's house in the 50s

[@brendatomlinson]

I didn’t know we were getting a haunted house exploration this morning but here we are!

[@brendatomlinson]

@@melissah4515 yes THAT is exactly what gave me chills!

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

@@brendatomlinson yeah that was definitely a mystery to me! My guess is just animals, maybe a big vulture! Thanks for watching!! :)

[@1927su]

Just a bird?? Umm sounded like some strong footsteps on my end… intriguing! What a cool old house, love those upstairs windows that reach the floor !

[@1927su]

Just jumped in! Love that beadboard ceiling!

[@twobrokeguyz1214]

Was that vulture from a Tex Avery cartoon? I mean, that thing must've been wearing a pair of size 12 cowboy boots!

[@1927su]

Whenever I hear loud traffic in the background, I’m reminded of that old Jethro Tull song with the lyrics “ looks like my farm is a freeway”

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Well said! And good song! That’s happening all over the USA! Thank you for watching!! :)

[@HanSolo-qd7wx]

Beautiful example of Timber Framed Carpenter Gothic. This is the house everyone wishes they had right now. Kept up properly these houses last hundreds of years

[@clairefunnell8481]

Beauties both houses. Sounded like footsteps in the attic, creepy. Love the old windows and woodworks. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ittybittykittymama7582]

I would've been making a new door about the first time there was a big thump from nowhere! The second one would've sent me out a window! The third, fourth and the footsteps would have required a change of underclothes! You're a braver person than I'll ever be, dude! Surely you know that was NOT a vulture?! So glad you didn't climb that ladder! That makes three definite ghosts you've disturbed, Kappy! Maybe you should start doing haunted house videos, too! Oh, not another one! Those thumps don't sound any better than the last ones! Run, boy, run!

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

A big vulture was my guess lol! Usually animals move in to these places, with the absence of people! Getting almost shot at a few videos back was more scary to me lol! I’ll take ghosts or birds over that any day!😅 thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)

[@RedheadLondon]

How do you know it wasn't just squatters, or some runaway living in an isolated house, assuming he'd never be found. Why assume it is ghosts every time you hear a sound?

[@robinhumburg1400]

The basement under the farmhouse was a cold storage room for canned and dry foods. My grandma had one very much like it. The sounds were very like someone walking in heavy work boots or riding boots. Creepy but cool house. Sad to see it go.

[@priscilla5306]

You find the most beautiful old homes Kappy ❤

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

I really try my best! Thank you for watching!! :)

[@lorikrafft8197]

It makes me so sad to see these beautiful homes that just get forgotten and they deteriorate away what a shame I love old houses, especially old farm houses and these of houses are so pretty. I love the front porches. I love the trim the locks on the door the porcelain door knobs. It just breaks my heart that nobody cared enough to restore them until they’re too far gone.

[@RedheadLondon]

They are pretty but I think they are too big, and no-one needs a house this size these days. They are like mansions, and often in a field, so there will be no facilities or neighbours. I wouldn't want to be in the middle of nowhere.

[@seethrucrew4092]

Just think of all the memories those houses 🏘 hold.We Love going back in time with you. Great job kappy 😊

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Well said! Thank you for the kind words and watching!! :)

[@ameliagentry4452]

Those loud footsteps sounded like a person traversing stairs or walking heavily. Great video. Loved the houses and land and views.

[@krislange1186]

Another beautiful old house! Loved the simplicity of the mantel. I feel so sad for this home.

[@gaylewilliamson9183]

Absolutely love these old homes all the real wood and wallpapers,too bad they aren't well. Built these days,today's homes come no where near these old ones.also won't last as long either.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Chrisssy2112]

First house had some pretty solid doors, not the cheap hollow ones they sell now. And um, Kappy, I’m sure you don’t believe but the attic had a big footed heavy spirit, and not residual either as he answered you and said “no”. Thank you as always! You make my day every time you post 😊

[@Yzabeaux1]

Kappy, that was no bird, Dear Soul. It's a spirit. Energy left behind from previous owners. Glad you're not easily spooked.😁👍

[@JesusismyRock773]

No it's not. Spirits do not wear boots!!!

[@Yzabeaux1]

@@JesusismyRock773 It was wearing "Spirit Boots." 😁🙏🏻

[@jameswood9188]

Not only does that sound like footsteps but it sounds like someone coming down the attic 🪜, that gives me goosebumps😮 Beautiful old house though, great explore❤

[@perseverance5297]

Interesting that there's no bathroom. Did you notice an outhouse? Definitely sounded like human steps to me! Thank you for sharing this gem.

[@RedheadLondon]

There must have been. The family came from New York he said. They probably removed the bath and took it with them when they left, or someone stole it. I used to live in a Victorian house in London, and someone wanted to buy the toilet, cos it was an ornate porcelain square thing.

[@billstill1794]

[@2024Sanie]

I love admiring older houses, knowing they were built to last unlike most houses now days, and the beauty in an old porch. Thank you for this, and I do share so maybe others will appreciate times gone by.

[@l.l.2463]

These creeped me out more than your explores usually do. Definite footsteps in the first one. I grew up in a 2 story house that had those "footsteps" that would stop the second you started up the stairs to investigate. This went on for about a year. They eventually stopped. Other weird things happened in that house at around the same time.

[@angeltech1]

I am currently restoring a pre-civil mansion that was part of the Underground Railroad. I have absolutely experienced paranormal activity in that house. There have even been paranormal teams there to investigate before I purchased it. I don’t want to give the name of my house because it can be very easily found online. It has its own Wikipedia page, listed on Google Maps and also listed on the Registrar of Historic Places. Many people have had experiences at the mansion and property. The thing that makes it even more eerie is it is out in the country on 6 acres so you really feel the loneliness.

[@donnagagne3813]

I want the first house. Thanks Kappy. You never disappoint.

[@urbanexploringwithkappy1773]

Same I loved all the open land around it! Thank you for watching! :)

[@Sirshackleton]

Both of these had some strange noises. Scary! Thanks for showing them.

The second house, I wasn't expecting only 8-Years Abandoned. I was thinking late 90s.

Those footsteps sound creepy and both houses are beautiful it sad to see those houses just sitting there to rot great video kappy and have a happy 4th of July.

It's amazing on how these old houses are still standing. Things were made to last a very long time.

Completely agreed! Thank you very much for watching!! :)

[@anthonycoach4551]

These old houses just were built to last the wood all through the house is just remarkable how stuff was built back in the 20's and that paper you found from 1925 might be worth saving might have some value..

[@maryhall7464]

I love the old houses that still look original. 😊

[@terrigabriel582]

Could be in the 2nd house the smaller Staircase was a 2nd Exit in Case of fire... My Grandfather had a Fear of Fire so he built his House with Each Room having a Door to Exit the Outside, in just Case

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

What a pretty house! It's in remarkably good condition for being abandoned 50 years! 3:35 Would I ever love to have that mantle for the fireplace in our home! What a beauty! 6:10 It was common in these older homes to have the basement only accessible from an exterior door or trap door. The Victorian farmhouse I grew up in was like that. And the second house is even prettier with its gingerbread trim. I sincerely wish modern home builders would get back into using such pretty details. Homes now are so bland and they are completely lacking in personality. There sure was an awful lot of stuff left behind!

I have noticed in some videos you are revisiting a house after some years passed by. Do you ever go to one of those to find it has been purchased and renovated? A tour of a house with a new life with flashbacks inserted of the previous condition could show viewers what is possible with the right attitude and determination. These two houses are potential candidates for such a vision!

First house was charming old lady. Definitely sounded like footsteps.

Hi Kappy, Saturday is my favorite morning of the week watching your wonderful videos ! I know you shouldn't take things from abandoned homes, but on this particular video you should have taken the old newspaper from the first house. That is something that belongs in a library ! Kappy we do appreciate that every week you have an interesting video for us. Be safe❤

[@aprilfool8329]

After hearing all those strange noises in the upstairs of the first house, I was kind of hoping you would have climbed up that rickety ladder to see what was making the noise. But it could have been a large bird that may have startled you and caused you to fall off of the ladder and we wouldn't have wanted that. It appeared that the whole upstairs was "painted" with bird droppings so there must have been some big birds in there. Thanks for sharing another fun video!

[@jilldavis7229]

The first house had the most beautiful door & window casings!!! The unpainted, original stained doors were spectacular too!!! The second house made me sad as it appeared to me to be abandoned…wasting & letting the antique wooden furniture go to waste😰😞😢 Thank you Kappy for sharing these wonderful treasures!!! I loved them 👍🙏💕

[@susanfaulkner2304]

!. Beautiful old doors and mantels, as well as the window casings. This house felt too boxy and dark when you first went in, very constrictive in some places. 2. Those old door knobs and locks, gorgeous. This house feels lighter than the first. Probably due to the difference in paint used. I have a feeling this house had some squatters in its time. I really liked this second house.

Thanks for exploring these old places. There were some really old pieces of furniture. The 1926 paper may have been kept for certain articles usually deaths of families or friends. People use to save stuff like that. From it being ransacked could have come out of some of the dresser drawers. That was too human sounding for me!! I’d died right on the spot.

Both very interesting. The first loved the original features left. No traces of kitchen or bathroom. Strange. Second one crazy to think someone lived there until 2016! Those rooms that you have pass through to get to next room are a pain for bedrooms. Had that as a child. My brother’s room was like a pass through to our parents. Poor kid didn’t get to play in his room very much as our dad worked shift work. Lots of animal activity. Kind of scary. Thanks for sharing. ❤

Hi Kappy. Loved the house and all of the woodwork. Someone was totally walking around above you. I swear it sounded like someone walking with boots. I am not big into paranormal but I know exactly what it sounds like when someone is walking upstairs in an old house. And to top that off, as soon as you asked it went silent... The second house outright gave me the creeps. For sure looked to have been empty longer than 2016. Thanks for sharing.
