Why Did They Disappear? Mysterious Abandoned French Mansion...

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
In this week's episode, we explore the abandoned mansion from the French family Castello, they were a happily married couple, had 4 young boys and life seemed to be great for the family. But in a sudden night around the year 2002 everything changed, they suddenly disappeared and nobody knows their whereabouts. After asking numerous residents around the abandoned mansion for more information about what happened in this place, nobody could give us clear answers... So it was up to us to turn on our cameras and start to investigate this mysterious home.
Everything of the Castello family is left behind inside, it is just like they could get home tonight and start living there again, this proves to be a very interesting exploring, so let's waste no more time and let's begin this epic adventure!

[@celiaespinoza8413]

Thank you so much for exploring these beautiful abandoned homes for us! You are a Time Machine for your viewers, going back into the past. I would like to donate money to you, because I know that traveling to these abandoned places are costly, and time consuming. But unfortunately, I live on a fixed income and I barely make ends meet. The only thing that I can offer you is my prayers, to keep you and your loved ones healthy and safe. Thank you again, for letting us into your Time Machine!

There is a UT’er that lives in Britain and she said when she filed bankruptcy, she was made to move out and leave everything. When they finally let her back in a lot of her stuff had been taken by the cleaning crew. Like her Jewlery that had been her mother’s , tv ect. So it can be cases like that or maybe it had a mold problem and was to expensive to repair, so just left because mold spores can be in your furniture, clothes, toys ect.

[@beverlyensey8007]

Who goes into empty places and completely wrecks a place throwing stuff every which way? I can't imagine it was left like this by the people who lived there. I didn't see dirty dishes stacked up in the sink or on any surface. So, it must have been fairly orderly when it was abandoned. I don't really enjoy seeing a wrecked place like this with stuff thrown all around. But, for some crazy reason I sit through your exploration. Maybe it is just you I am fascinated with Lesley. LOL I do like how you do it!

[@babygremlins]

the more information you give about the story of the family leading up to the abandonment of the home the more interesting it is.

[@lissanne9769]

Thankx Lesley, for another great documentary. This place was fabulous but very sad also. These are my favorites. Getting to see homes from the past. It's to bad there wasn't more history to be found. What you had though was intriguing. Stay safe and stay happy. Lots of love to all .

[@lyncooper-reagan5874]

The other people that came to “explore” are very rude! Knowing you were filming they continued to laugh, talk loudly and it seems like to make as much noise as they could. Still tho, you managed to make another wonderful video of a forgotten and decayed house. Thank you Lesley and crew for that! ❤️

This is a pretty good place. It’s so weird to see mother nature growing into it, especially in the middle of a city.

Thank you! So much left behind. Sad chaos.

[@feuquegougueul1592]

In the 50's my granma had an older phone, with no numbers, but a lever instead of the dial, which you operated several times, then an operator answered you, asking you which number you wanted to contact as well as the city, and she put you in communication with your correspondent! The first answering machine I saw was in 1968, and it only took 10 messages on a magnetic tape, it was already an amazing progress. At that time in my city (about 100 000 inhabitants), the phone numbers had only 3 digits! You ask the (human) operator, "please, make me in touch with the 254 (for example) then the name of the city, you wait a few time before the number you ask , answers! Most of the phones were for trading, or rich people... My grand parents own a car driving school. Poor people use phone booth, or call from the nearest post office. It's not so far! Thanks for your interesting explorations, and be safe! From France, Charles.

[@nannyofmany8315]

Well, that was certainly an interesting find Leslie. Enjoyable and Huge family home. It does make one wonder why the children of the family have not come forward. Unless it is financially not in their interests to claim it! Such a shame that people just disappear. Here today - Gone tomorrow. Leaving their whole world behind them! I hope you are enjoying your travels still. X

[@Meriale46]

The fact that many people in Europe don't claim family homes is not that unusual. When your parents or other family members die without a Will the property can sit in limbo for years if not decades. If someone is willed an estate there are heavy taxes that must be paid in Inheritance tax. Properties need to be reassessed for their value and before you can claim it these taxes must be paid as well. It can be quite expensive and many people have no desire to move back to where they grew up. Homes are handed down with all the furnishings still in them and it's not strange in the least that when a property is sold all the furniture is sold along with it. This is one main reason why these homes are left to rot and ruin. Relatives may come and claim personal items but rarely will they take furniture and artwork.

[@jacksmedullaoblongata7659]

You are an extremely handsome man. Great voice for this work. Love your channel--- I predict no shortage of gorgeous young women in your future...👀❤😎

[@ramona_rami5643]

The kitchen taken over by ivy and vines has really amazed me! Absolutely stunning decayed beauty !!! The abandoned pictures of the children and their toys add sadness to the whole story! It's beautiful how you always shine light upon these forgotten places!!!

[@KapricornKary]

Seems to me to be a home of an old couple who once raised the 4 sons back in the 70's or 80's and perhaps there were lots of toys left behind by grandchildren. The furniture, appliances, and tv's seem very old. Not modern for, say, the 1990's or early 2000's. That makes me think the couple were pretty old, often elderly ppl don't keep up with buying newer things. Maybe they had to be taken to an assisted living facility or nursing home? The place looked pretty picked over, like maybe the relatives came and took valuable things and left alot of the crap behind. I find it interesting that homes and their things get left behind like this. In the US, when someone dies, as a relative, you have to go in and clean the place out, even throwing out the things you don't want, so that you can sell the house. I guess it's different in Europe.

[@Keiri12]

I agree the tv & appliances seem old. He mentioned in the intro that they couldnt find any picture of elder people. They can only find the couple pic when they were young. It seems weird it as if they didnt grow old there.

[@mariamaria2751]

Yeah it's weird. Why doesn't it get sold and new owners come in. Doesn't make sense

[@mariamaria2751]

Especially if it is in the middle of the city

[@kristensorensen2219]

#583💟👍 What kind of city allows an abandoned property to remain an eye sore and us less on the property tax roles?

[@Meriale46]

That place looks as if it was abandoned longer than 21 years. The decay and condition of the grounds and structure of the house starting to fall apart is a good indication that it's most likely been sitting empty for about 30 or 40 years. The clothing left behind tells the tale. It is an interesting place though. Not many photos to say what happened there but it looks as if the parents owned the house and perhaps died and left it to their children who might have lived there for a time but decided to leave it behind. I just wanted to add that the other group of people that showed up there were rude for being so loud. They knew you were recording and still got loud. Some people just have no respect for others. Sorry, but that's my opinion of it. Until next time... thank you again for showing us such an interesting place.

[@ranisrikumar5735]

Exactly you r right! This has been abandoned long time ago… the cobwebs and deteriorating condition says a lot.

[@missapk]

Here in the US it's easy to search property ownership records online; same w birth/death records, etc. Is that different in Europe? I enjoy your walk-thrus & presentation style; but in a case like this the mystery was more enthralling than the home itself imo, and left me wanting more info.

[@babygremlins]

i love the new format with the family history. it makes the video waaaaaayyy more interesting. you may want to consider helping the heirs, banks, or governments that own these homes to sell the properties also. you are showing the homes to so many interested people. if an eligible buyer contacts you, then you could refer them to the owners for a small advertising fee or sales commission (whichever may be legal).

It's hard to assume anything about what happened to them, but most probably something unfortunate incident happened like terrible accident or like people said homicide (though I don't wanna think like that, they seemed pretty good people with loving children, why anyone would murder them?) Though it's not right to judge a book by its cover, you never know how people deal with their personal life.. I only hope they're fine and doing well somewhere else.. It's so strange that our life is so uncertain, we don't know what's waiting for us in the next moment.. Still people get involved into envy, crime.. Unfortunately they can't take anything with them.. There are so many incidents like this,even after that max people don't try to mould their life for better causes.. That 2nd kitchen, I was thinking exactly the same that mother nature has regained it and tried to cook oxygen for her ignorant children.. 'Idiot box', that's what we call television and it seems very true to me always.. I never watch TV, rather I love to sit vacant and charge my brain 😆😆..If you've decided not to buy TV, it'd be one of the sensible decisions you'll have ever taken(or made).. I again saw the similar type telephone which I already talked about and today you were dialing numbers 😇😇.. Really this house was dangerous with big holes on the floor and other decaying parts.. Like you said they might have been involved in interior design, yeah that's a possibility.. So many wallpapers were there..Those paintings were really nice.. Everything was nice about the place, only we won't ever get to know what happened to them and keep on assuming things.. Stay blessed, happy and healthy.. 👍👍🙏🙏😇😇

So odd they left everything behind. It speaks of two things to me, they fled in abject fear of someone or something, or murder took place. But if murder, where ar they? Has NO one ever looked for them? Do the police know? Cups and saucers and soap, shampoo in the bathroom..........very very odd!
