What's inside this Creepy Abandoned Haunted Farm House? Let's explore together!

[@terryclouse6390]

you got be careful taking things from a house that has a ghost because some times the will go with some thing you take from there house to yours you take down there home they come to your home

You sound like my mom lol

[@jtarman70]

@terryclouse6390 What a load of crap! Anyone who believes in hauntings and ghost has mental problems or has been smoking too much dope! The only thing left behind or still lingering after someone is dead is their history! Unless written down, once everyone who knew them is gone so will the memory of their history, dead gone forgotten forever!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Cool old house. I would try to save the windows, doors, tub, furniture, any hardware and as much of the hardwood flooring as you can. Get that tiller out and running again, that is one classic machine.

[@royreynolds108]

The doors and hardware and flooring are worth salvaging. The cabinet on the 2nd floor was taken up the stairs in the vertical position at the top for room to clear the ceiling.

[@guytech7310]

Don't see how with a 1/4" clearing. How would you get your fingers out? Only way I could see it, if it had a removablel base or feet (not shown in the video). Probably assembled on the second floor

That old siegler Heater looks to be in good condition. AND, Could be converted to burn waste oil into fuel for heat for your mega shop. Lime for plants, to absorb smells, and the powder type for all before mentioned, and use to store and preserve potatoes.

Yep, doors, frames & trim and windows, frames & trim would be ideal for anyone wanting to restore any old buildings in the area. Even any new construction of log or stick frame cabins could utilize those items for the antique look. Just don't try refurbishing them as it would devalue the items for a potential buyer. When removing the windows & doors, just cut around them & remove as a whole unit to prevent any damage. Just a thought 🤔.

[@kathyh.8563]

Thanks Josh I really enjoyed this video. I too love the character of old homes. Would really enjoy more videos like this one.....glad you shared!

[@miraclefarm1927]

Love it!! Definitely around 1910- 1920 because it has many of the same features of ours. You will find the 4 over 1 windows will still have some wavy glass in them. That floor covering is an linoleum rug. Could possibly be a Sear's kit house of you found any lumber that was stamped. You are missing a real treasure though, those floors under those rugs can't be bought anymore. You will find they are 3/4 inches thick tongue and groove put together with square nails and probably heart of forest pine with is endangered here now. Just because some don't see the value doesn't mean it's not there. Blessings

[@guytech7310]

"Definitely around 1910- 1920" I would guess older since no gas fittings or electrical. My grandparents home was built in 1909 & had gas for lighting, The ran the electrical through the gas lines in the 1920s to convert it to electrical.

That house is more solid as it sits than any new house built today!!! I rebuilt my 1895 house that was in terrible shape and I am so happy with it!!! Talk about character! AND solid as a rock! I get so many compliments!

[@cherylsmith-bell6509]

Cool old house. Such a shame the leaking roof caused all that damage. All the window casings, doors and door casings and base boards are all good. That hole might be really be fixable. Everything in there is solid except where the damage is. I SAY Fix it!!!!

The lumber in that house is priceless. But a tonne of work to make usable. The 2x12s in the attic, fabulous!

The jack is a high quality bumper jack. The hook, hooked to the bottom of a car bumper. In those days ( pre early 70s ), bumpers were very strong, and used to raise a car.

[@brianhillis3701]

They are great for pulling T posts.

[@bcgrittner]

I say salvage what you can. Restoring that house would be a money pit. The four hole jack is an older style phone jack. They probably only had one phone. CreeEeeeeeek- “Good….evening”. Oh, man, it’s Boris Karloff. Now that would be a ghost.

[@cherokeechyld8444]

The floors are 4 inch. If not made of Oak, could they be heart Pine? If it is the hard wood of Old Pine, those floors are worth having removed and repurposed. Very cool. Great video. Wado, Josh.

[@KITDFOHS]

It's worth cutting the walls open to look for hidden stashes. Was really common for the depression era folks to do that and stash stuff in their closets inside of jackets and stuff. Some of the "boomers" may carry on some of that tradition too.

[@donnahays1534]

I would save as much wood trim and flooring and sinks tubs. You won't be surprised at what people will buy and reuse. That awsome stair case.

Those sill plates will make nice 'barn beam' pieces (fireplace mantles, etc.). Those doors might be hardwood too like black walnut or something.

[@winknotes]

@@springsy6210 yeah I noticed the non-painted ones didn't look like anything special. Curious about the painted doors though. I also wonder if some of the floor is worth salvaging for other projects? A lot of work for what payoff?

[@revjohnvh]

Great find. I would love to be in an old house like this in harvest all the jewels that are in there. The hardware of the doors, the doors themselves the trim in the house is awesome. The beaded ceiling, the oak floor, save, if possible, not counting that old cloth foot bathtub. Great find hope you have a lot of fun harvesting the jewels from this house.

The old dried wood in that house is probably harder than woodpecker lips

[@rhondamurray2091]

AWESOME! So sad! Looks like my grandparents house. Shame you cant save some of that hardwood. Breaks my heart. That is a telephone jack. Not necessarily party line. Had those jacks in my home in the early 70's. Could use the tub to water livestock. That's what my brother used to use.

[@SupernaturalLostAdventures]

Very cool. I would love to come visit and check it out before you tear it down. Thanks for sharing!

[@TonyM1961]

Salvage those stairs if at all possible. When you shined your light into the little room under them, they are actually made from some absolutely BEAUTIFUL wood. Might not become stairs at the new location, but could easily be repurposed into furniture, molding, whatever by anyone with even a halfway decent wood shop. I also strongly agree that you need to go over the grounds with a metal detector to see what all old stuff got dropped and forgotten over the years. We had an old barn at my childhood home that we had to clean up inside and outside of the exterior walls to put a new foundation under it as the old one turned out to be old, rotten railroad ties. In the process of everything, we began finding old bits of US Cavalry bridles and stuff. Turns out that the building used to be the original livery stable for the town back in the 1800s. The amount of antique pieces we found in the underfoot dirt floor was amazing. We even found what had to be the original blacksmith anvil buried under a couple feet of dirt and manure. It ended up at the local museum that my great grandfather ran downtown

[@cindystevensdiy1932]

Yes on floors.. furniture is wood not pressed crap.. and they are nice designs .. yes on hard ware.. freezer I bet works great. Amana is a sturdy brand..

[@ddelano7408]

That is a phone jack in the second floor room. Be careful of the linoleum floor coverings. They probably have asbestos in them and need special care in their removal!

[@kman-mi7su]

Josh, you should pull that old tiller out and do a "will it run" video. If it does, a free good running tiller on a farm is a score!

[@1911Fan85]

Take your time and Save what you can brother

[@kathleendinicola9065]

Take all hardware, all the trim,doors and claw foot tub, there is some items to salvage. Good luck and stay safe

[@MsVan13]

There is a guy in Luling Texas who takes down houses. He keeps every thing. Takes it apart board by board. Taking out the nails. The old growth boards sell for more than new wood. He has a huge warehouse to house all the stuff. He takes the parts and builds tiny homes not to code. But some how is able to skirt the regulations. Video is Tiny Texas Houses’ “Willy Wonka” on making magic reusing wood by Kirsten Dirksen

[@Peaceful-Dez]

I would salvage the kitchen cabinet doors and that sink, the whole front door and side window panels, the interior doors, claw foot tub, all the hardware and the tiles from the bathrooms that pink and the blue/green and black trim. Many restoration places look for those things when people are trying to redo their homes and can not find the tile that is broken but want to keep it original. Salvage everything that can be including the stair posts and balusters/banisters. Any brick that can be saved and any wood that is not damaged from the attic and floors. So cool to see all of that history but very sad to see it gone as well. Also save all the different pieces of furniture, great stuff to clean up and donate or sell for extra money.

[@DanBeamer]

Not sure what I enjoyed most about this show the neat old house or the 6 foot giant trying to crawl through the brambles. LOL.

[@springsy6210]

i live in an old house like that.... id take the door hardware and leave the doors because they are probably warped... id take all the base trim and door trim and id probably see if any of the the beadboard ceiling could be salvaged. The oak flooring looked pretty solid, the clawfoot tub looked cool and resellable... the glass on the kitchen cabinets was awesome and the heater downstairs was still in good condition... sweat equity. ha.... but honestly the trim and door hardware would be the first stuff id salvage. love these old houses.

[@springsy6210]

oh.... and the newel posts would be coming home with me for sure.... too nice to just trash.

[@jimssurvival4994]

Check bottom of dresser drawers, old people used to tape money underneath drawers. My dad bought a old dresser that was oak at a auction for $20 took home and was taking it apart and underneath one of the drawers was a old $50 bill from 40s I think. So he made out good on that investment. That old jack looked like the ones they used under houses like basements to correct sagging floors. A old house the wife and I rented once here in West Virginia had one similar in our basement. Stay safe and watch for ghost 👻

[@DavesDoings]

The damage seems to be around the chimneys, it looks like there was alot of solid floors still, flipped a house one time with tons more damage, replaced entire first floor system

[@ericschwepker2906]

I would save what you can and then document as much detail as you could, plus take measurements before you tear it down. That way you could possibly rebuild it like it was when it was lived in. Yes it would be alot of work but it would be nice to save the history of the house and land.

[@duanejackson6718]

That house is totally awesome! Might consider trying to reuse it rather than tear it down, it seems daunting but the price of materials is pretty high.

[@kevindavis3841]

Tearing down any structure creates a vast amount of waste to be disposed of. Anything you can repurpose will decrease that load but horribly increase the time required to complete removal. Since you asked, that is what I think. But it’s your time; the value of anything repurposed lies in the hands of the holder.

[@bebebowen5366]

What do you want for the old brace and bit on the "R" side of the shed. As for the house, you have a saw mill. Electrical can be dropped down from the attic, without tearing out the plaster. Plumbing same way.

[@jeffmay6418]

All those solid doors would bring a pretty penny. Take them the tub the frosted glass and cast iron lid for your fee.

[@mariannahardin9473]

Doors and frames, Hardware, tub. Windows and frames, freezer if works of course, possibly kitchen sinks. Of course metal detect the area

[@bay9876]

Roof and foundation with condition of floors and ceiling will pretty well tells you it's a tear down. It was a Big house in the day and got oak floors as a feature. Bet you it has old oak beams supporting the floor since the floor looks level.Lathe and plastered walls really date the house with no electrical power into the kitchen. Knob and tube wiring if was wired up, but sewer system had ABS Plastic pipe and not cast iron and iron pipe water service. The copper pipe if any would be worth recovering for metal value.

[@MsVan13]

Old growth wood is so much stronger. Even with that hole and water damage you were able to get that close.

[@keylargo2001]

The house that I grew up in had very similar flooring. It was all hard wood through out. The house was dated to 1850. It had a room under the stairs that we used to store winter clothing in. There were 3 fireplaces in the house. One in the kitchen,, living room and one in the middle bedroom. The one in the kitchen had a Dutch Oven built into it. What was unique about the house was up in the attic. I have no clue how they got a 2 foot by 2 foot beam up there. What they did with the beam was they turned the beam to create a diamond shape. Which they attached the rafters to which created the pitch. All the chimneys in the neighborhood where all pitched slightly away from the northeast. The neighborhood is on Cape Cod. All our major storms have Northeast winds. The pitch eliminate down draft. With that old house salvage what you can. Because they don't make stuff like that any more.

It looks like new. Beautiful porcelain. I have absolutely NO idea how old it is but that was cool. She was something back in the day but now. sadly you just need to salvage what you can and move on.

That is a crying shame. If you decide to tear it down, make sure to take all the doors and jams, baseboards plus all that ornate furniture. I would be taking banister and stuff... To be honest, I would be restoring it. You may have to remove all the plaster and repair the windows, etc..but they just don't make houses like that anymore. I enjoy touring old houses like that.....makes one think about what went on when it was fist built and all the families that lived there.

Lime= getting rid of the bodies, or for preserving eggs. The windows and doors all look good. When removing the windows dont cut the counter weight! Door off the deck for the cabinet upstairs!
