The x-ray images Lesley held up are of an older man. The procedure in the radiographs is called an IVP, or Intravenous Phylogram. It is done to show the kidneys and the renal system. A contrast agent is injected into the vein of an arm. The technologist then takes a series of images starting around one minute all the way up to fifteen or twenty minutes. It is helpful for diagnosis of kidney stones, disease, or tumors. Every hospital in America preforms two to fifteen of these exams during the week. The reason I know about this exam is because I'm a retired Imaging Technologist, or x-ray tech.

Wow! The roses are STILL blooming. How wonderful!

Lesley, tell your mom thank you for doing such a great job raising you!

I love that you guys never steal anything and don’t do graffiti on the houses and its amazing The work that you guys do because it reminds us of the people who died in that same house and u give us their story.

Another sad thing about Caroline, her parents, knowing how ill she was, continued to keep a large abundance of alcohol in the same home with her.

Your mother raised a true gentleman tell her thanks her son is so polite and respectful

Please don't call people insane when the help they needed wasn't available. Love you!!

Hi from Australia, Leslie I haven't been watching your videos lately I've been going through domestic violence I'm 62yrs and it's been very hard, but I've started watching the people that make me feel better and I hope you don't mind but your channel is great and you are a true gentleman with a very calming voice. Thank you Leslie. 🇦🇺

The 100 year old historic tractors should be brought to a museum together with the pictures of the agricultural machines !!! And 1932 newspapers - oh what a gem !! The Calvados bottle is unique - my late husband loved Calvados. The postcad written in 1919 - unreal. By the way, I adore it when you say "costume" looking at men's clothes: it is called "suit" - because "costumes" are for clowns for example :D It was again, Lesley, a great video you and your team put together. Very interesting history - it always amazes me how they are abandoned and many important documents and pictures of sentimental value are left behind.

The religious statue in the bedroom downstairs was not of Mary but is actually St.Therese of Lisieux, “The Little Flower”. Maybe that’s why there were so many flowers around. Amazing place, thank you!

I love how respectful you are that you shut the door to the bedroom of that poor unfortunate young Woman.I always look forward to these videos when you post a new one.This one is one of the saddest ones you have brought us and I hope the family was able to make the most of their lives after they left the house.I hope you are doing well here in America and as always we love you too guys.

I've been watching your videos for the last couple days and it truly is amazing to see what people leave behind. I'm a carpenter that specializes in historic restoration so I particularly love the content that you bring us. Thank you for your respect also. 👍☮️

My favorite part was the castle ending! What a fabulous place! The story of the daughter made me sad...most likely she was the victim of abuse judging by the description of how she suddenly let herself go. This is a way to try and get the abuser to lose interest. Wine and drugs were her only escape.

Here is a way to tell copper, brass, and bronze apart from one another. Copper has a distinctive reddish-brown color. Brass has a brighter yellowish-gold appearance. Bronze, meanwhile, is a duller gold or sepia color and will typically have faint rings on its surface.

sad to see many mansion, palace and castle abandoned..

I noticed three things: 1- The story must be older than 35 years old. The latest style you could find in that house was 80s style, so I guess that this house was abandoned in the 1980s, not in the 1990s; 2- I haven't noticed a single photograph of Caroline and their parents hanging around. That is really, really strange, because there are other family pictures there, and they didn't take them when they left; 3- Have they REALLY left? Some magazines, the 60´s wedding anniversay plate, pens and even a microwave show that this house - though frozen in time - still had people living in there. And the plate is proof that the couple lived there for many, many years after the death of their beloved child. However, if that is true, WHERE are the pictures? A really sad story with a lot of questions left unanswered. beautiful hommage, beautiful podcast, beautiful Bros.

Jacobean wall paper in the dining room. The speaker may have been direct communication with the kitchen staff. To move out of a home like this is a gigantic task, and many people stay rather than try to figure out where they should start, what to keep and what to let go. They use less of the home as they age, and their kids move out, until they are confined to a few rooms. We are married 47 years now, and closer than ever…but when one has gone and one remains…little matters as they wait to rejoin their beloved. This house has many memories of the lives lived out within their walls. Even now my century plus home, built in the Arts and Crafts period…filled with antiques, a library, and memories of the stages of our lives…and you can tell where we spend most of our time in, and which rooms get little use. I need to thin out some of the things we no longer use since we entertain on a much smaller scale than in the past. We have more original art than we can hang, and more bronze statuary than we have places for, art glass in abundance, and a Temple on the top floor dedicated to the ancient Gods and Goddesses. We also have items from my Mother’s death, and also from my Grandmother and Great Grandmother.I occasionally wonder what explorers like you will think of our home when we have passed and gone to our next lives. I think that odd curved wooden object may have been a two child teeter totter. As always…beautifully shown with empathy and sensitivity…thank you for this.🖤🇨🇦

hank you Bros of Decay for giving this old lady something to think about and much more pleasant than what's going on in the world today.

Hi Lesley, another beautiful property on a quiet Sunday afternoon, thanks you my friend!!

Хоть я и живу в России, мне очень нравятся ваши видео. Спасибо.

what a fascinating place, great video! it gives off really sad vibes though especially at the top floor with the bed rooms. i agree with some of the comments here, maybe she got abused by her dad or someone else and how that would explain why she would've stopped taking care of herself and got addicted to escape reality. teens are at a very vulnerable state when they develop. anyway, i feel sad for caroline, hopefully she's found her peace now :(

I’m sure after the passing of their daughter, the memories were to painful to stay in this house. It’s very sad that she was so sick

Possibly lead-based paint could have contributed to her illness, along with teenage rebellion and alcohol. Lead poisoning was very common in older homes. Also, Victorians were obsessed with vividly-colored wallpaper, though arsenic poisoning was in those brightly colored prints. Toxic for those in style homeowners who could afford the brightly colored wallpaper. As for the lead poisoning, dear Caroline had a few symptoms. Signs and symptoms of lead poisoning in children include: Developmental delay Learning difficulties Irritability Loss of appetite Weight loss Sluggishness and fatigue Abdominal pain Vomiting Constipation Hearing loss Seizures As a realtor, we still have to hand out lead-based paint disclosures. also arsenic poisoning symptoms, paper arsenic turned into powder and were inhaled by families. A person who has swallowed arsenic may show signs and symptoms within 30 minutes. These may include: drowsiness headaches confusion severe diarrhea many other symptoms.

This is such a nice distraction to what is happening with the world right now. Thank you. I wonder if the young woman was truly insane or merely an alcoholic. We'll never know.

This one was a contradiction, the newspaper is from the 1930’s but it has a microwave in the kitchen??? Your story said the couple left when their 20 something daughter died but they celebrated their 60th anniversary there? Something just doesn’t add up🤷🏻‍♀️

Lesley I am new to your channel. I am a former nurse and I wonder if the mechanism on the bed was to keep the sheets and blankets off someones legs and feet at night🤔. We of course use more modern devices now but this could be it. Thank you, I really enjoyed this explore, an amazing old home where I found myself wondering how much it would take to restore it and bring a happy joyous life to it. I wanted to trim the rose trellis and bring the garden back to life💓🇧🇪🇦🇺

Hi the big machine you saw is a threshing machine, you load wheat or barley in the top and it would separate the wheat from the rest of the plant. The picture you saw of a machine is a UK machine call a showman traction engine powered by steam and used for driving fairground lighting etc, thanks for some great videos.

Sounds like caroline developed schizophrenia. I have been an MSN, RN for 39 years and still working. Schizophrenia is the usual onset is puberty. She probably self-medicated with alcohol to try to stop the torture of this horrible disease. Very heartbreaking. Thank you great job loved this story .

Those old tractors look like turn of the century (Late 1800’s-early 1900’s) models. Perhaps the father collected them or the farm had been in the family for multiple generations. That chair looks like a old barber’s chair. That big cast iron pot (I would call it a cauldron) was more likely used for laundry than food. There were an awful lot of sewing machines in that house!

La natura riprende possesso di tutto. Così tutto ciò che è accaduto a questa povera ragazza e alla sua famiglia che ha abbandonato senza voltarsi questo luogo. Caro Lesley riesci sempre con la tua delicatezza a raccontare in punta di piedi, quasi sottovoce, anche una storia così profonda.

These people obviously didn’t leave when their daughter died. At a minimum they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in this house. Anyone want to go fix this place up?

I think the machine is an old combine. Grains went in to it. They had big belts that took grain through them and thrashed it from the stalk of the plant. There was one on a farm we lived at when I was a child. Awesome home. Incredible video. That room the girl died in was quite creepy I guess is the word.? What a story. Unbelievable

Every past has a story good or bad, and for these great olaces, life must have bin very different from the lives in the villages, but no less tragic or horribel, life is simply lived in so many different ways. Thank you for showing us around in yet another story from the past......

27:39 The large pot with the iron on top may be a copper. You would fill it with water, light a fire under it, then put your washing into the warm water with some soap.

Hello - from the Great State of Ohio. I’m so sadden to hear of another story on mental illness. This breaks my heart. I can’t help from thinking there is more to this story then the towns people knew. Mental illness has been breaking people emotionally and physically for years and years. Today we know more and help is readily available. Hopefully people who are affected with this disease can reach out for help as soon as possible. Stay Safe!

singer sewing machine.. there is always one of them..( those tractors are worth a fortune now )

Those sleds you called them are where you put between the sheets to put the bed warmers in. Fantastic documentary 🏰 all the rooms are beautiful. Poor daughter so sad. Farm equipment was very interesting since my grandparents both grew up on the farm. Lesley it was incredible documentary 🏰📸😍 sorry for late comment.

Wow what a find. Some members of my family restore old tractors but I have never seen one as old as the one with metal wheels and no tyre!

i could sit for hours looking at all these old farming equipment, tools, and furnishings. it looks like a beautiful place and feel the stories. i love it

Diamond Anniversary is 25 years. 50 is golden. 75 is platinum.

Hi Lesley another amazing find sending love Ann uk ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Lesley, gosh I love following your videos, your voice is so incredibly soothing. I love watching and listening to all your videos. And how you treat everything so respectfully. Just great, keep it up. Greetings from a big fan from Belgium

You have the most amazing soothing voice ..I listen to you fro my bed recovering from Covid 19 and now a lung infection ..but you make me feel so soothed .,thank you .from the UK 🇬🇧

What a beautiful manor ...

I think this one is the most creepiest history left behind of this family,this is a beautiful home

Good video but sad story.❤️

This was a very interesting place and very sad about their daughter, it must have broke their hearts. I did enjoy seeing their home. Thank you Leslie and please stay safe. Love ya

Was a treat to see the manor and the castle , two in one. Looked like a winery , a castle one, I am sure down among the stones it is still cool on a warm summer day. Always an interesting look into yesterday, I loved the carved furniture , brocade upholstery, the postcards of Versailles, should be in frames very beautiful. The garden area showed us a glimpse, and those beautifully shaped 🌹. Thank you for taking us along on another adventure.

Thanks for sharing this home and the tragic story behind it. I don’t know why but seeing the upstairs. I couldn’t help but feel there were some hidden explanation’s & sadness to Caroline’s short life than the local’s knew or saw.😢😢

So very sad that this happened but, I can definitely understand why they didn’t want to live there after their daughter died so tragically but k don’t understand why they just disappeared. I’d think that they would try to sell it to someone or something like that instead of just leaving it to leaving it to rot away 🥺

The roses by the door at the beginning are incredible! Another fabulous adventure. Thank you, Bros of Decay!

I always like when you do an intro as you enter. I know it's not always a good idea because it can sometimes give away the location or entry point, but I like when you're able to, it feels more like I am part of the group entering and discovering :)

Another wonderful and caring exploration! Thank you for showing us! Also the thing you thought may have been a sled was actually used under blankets to place the bed warming pan on to warm the bed. They used these frames to stop bedding catching fire or becoming scorched :)

What a magnificent place this was in its day. So sad to see the decay and someone's lives gone.

You are doing a great job not only because you show beautiful forgotten places but most importantly you know the history of home and family. Greetings from Poland !!

Thank you Leslie ❤👍🏻💐🇮🇶

So sad.😪. Thanks😊. God Bless🙏 Be Safe😉 Cathy🌻 Ohio,🇺🇲

This was an absolutely beautiful place, very sad, yet there is peace as nature reclaims it. Thank you for sharing this w us. 💕💐💜

Memory Eternal, poor caroline,alcohol addiction needs specialist help but then of course if you don't want help.im a recovering Alcoholic and I'm so glad I'm not a slave to drink.

I said wow out loud when I saw the bedroom in the intro! It looks like someone just left it!

Thanks Leslie, that was an amazing explore. What a sad story, it sounded like the daughter was born with severe depression which led to her death.

Watching videos like these with such amazing historical items. Even small things no one thinks about like a hairbrish or something. I just want to ring the closest museum or something and tell them to get down there to save them from being lost forever

I believe that the little bed is a bench, still amazing video ❤️ the castle is amazing ♥️

As much as you love antiques you must be tempted to rescue some of them in those places that the roof is caved in and they are just ruining.

Nice exploration once again man

Oh my goodness that's such a sad story . Leslie you show such emotion when telling us these heartbreaking stories. I absolutely love what you do. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see these beautiful places. It breaks my heart to see them fall into disrepair after housing families and being full of life. 💜💜💜💜

Hi Lesley, wow those are very old tractors in that barn. Now I see a pretty iron table outside with such detail curls of metal as trim. Wow such pretty pink roses that still bloom after 35 yrs, in front of door to enter! Wow, amazing a 60 Anniversary plate of marriage! I love the French Doors! In the kitchen where the roof collapsed the 10 pots still hang on the wall! The tractor plaque from 1919 was unique & the mirror above is also unique! See the front door that can`t open, above you see a pretty trimmed with wood Transom glass window! So glad you didn`t fall thru floor when entering, the first bedroom, Lesley! Love the flowery clock on the night stand! The vase for the fake flowers, was made of shells this is unique! Love the glass blown airplane! Now a business office with books & papers & wow a dentist chair! Now the kitchen inside the house, it has a huge cooking pot, I never saw before! Utility room & big bathroom, but why a mirror above a Bidet, Lesley? Now going upstairs to the bedroom of the daughter who eventually died after drinking alcohol was the main thing that made her say things & they believed she was crazy but no not really, being drunk everyday is it! Wow how sad & now understand why parents wanted to leave this home from their only daughter who scream things out the window at people, that would be embarrassing & then to have this house as a reminder of their daughter for 24 yrs there! Now for next room Lesley you say 2 beds but there is a smaller bed up against the wall & a mattress on floor to the right , making it 4 beds?? I know in Europe or Belgium they call it costumes in closets, but in America we call it Clothes & costumes is for Reenactment or Halloween, Lesley! Love all the furniture thru out the Villa! As for the carving thing on the bed, Lesley I believe it is Gold...because it is more yellow color, where as Copper is more orange & is for pots, vases, coins. I believe parents kept the small crib type bed in hallway between bedrooms & in last bedroom is a small bed they were once their daughter`s beds. Huge winery barn! Nothing left to the castle, but was a great adventure with a twist of sadness for their daughter Caroline! Thanks so much Lesley, take care & love you too!!

Very sad energy there. They should have at least picked up their valuable items and photos.

I'd really like to know WHAT EXACTLY caused her so-called "insanity"!

What a fascinating explore. So sad about their daughter. It must’ve been so tragic for them. Thank you again Leslie for yet another wonderful find and exploration.

So many precious pieces and furniture left behind.

In This Silence I Hear Nothing Except The Beating My Heart! A.Nibley

Hello from California. This is the most fascinating tour I've seen yet. You have a great voice for narration. You sound exactly like the actor Jan Rubes. Fabulous..👏

Such an sad story. But an amazing place. Thank you so much

What an incredible background. Very sad. Beautiful old place though. Thank you Leslie!💜🤟🏻🍀🇺🇸🇺🇦

Thanks for sharing this little bit of history with us. It's so sad what happened to there daughter 😢. Be safe out there.

Podia mostrar mais detalhes abrir gavetas as caixas que estão em cima dos móveis fico muito curiosa para ver tudo 😁🤔

Leslie, I know of a more terrible and sad/with the spiritual side of things active in a very creepy house that someone bought after it was abandoned for 28 years… a man bought it sight unseen /cheep, and when he moved in he didn’t take the old things out~ bathroom/kitchen, etc. The man brought his own horror story into this house and left things unbelievably bizarre. I came upon needing a place to stay… he let me use the upstairs. After awhile I noticed there was blood spatter on the wall in the kitchen, and smeared all over the under cabinet light over the sink. I moved the table….it had rusty dark material. At one point I talked the guy into sitting at dinner on the dining table~~ I turn my face to the wall and saw hair with , you guessed it, blood smears. I knew that the man did not hurt anyone, but he denied that any of that happened ~ it must have been before. BUT~ all that pales to what I found in the upstairs bathroom and experienced in the bedroom. The story of this man… who’s wife died 5 years earlier… too uncomfortable to write here-what he did.. he was not responsible for her death from cancer~ however, he was very creepy about how he wanted to ‘remember’ her, and after he started calling me by her name- I had enough and abandoned the place…later, he had died in the house- and the family went through all my things and took things of value~~~ and left his stuff downstairs in shambles~ abandoned. I had a key and went in to get the rest of what was left of my belongings upstairs, except for the boxes that held the stolen belongings the family took. I will get some of it back~ a woman said she felt compelled to keep my Bible…and so I will go get it soon.

Hi Leslie, The machine in the lean-two is a thresher that was used to separate grain from the stems which would become straw used for bedding for livestock. Threshers are now known as combines here in Canada. I love your videos.

I’ve been Binge watching the videos ever since I found your channel last week. I’ve even spent my sleeping hours watching these vids. Thanks so much, Lesly. I used to love exploring like this when I was a child, and thanks to you I can watch these vids and explore with you and your friends. Much love from WV USA 🇺🇸♥️

This was another great old estate. Thank you for the explore! There were still many wardrobes and bureaus that were once lovely. 💙🌙❄️

All abandoned places hold intriguing life stories you beautifully manage to present with so much respect and empathy ,Lesley ! Fighting a terrible illness is one of the worst things in life ! This story is so sad! I love the small study full of books, letters and postcards ! Thank you for another great adventure!

I am just starting to watch the video must say I love your adventures. Can't wait to see what is in-store. Thank you for taking us along!

I look forward every week to see what you were going to explore. I love your commentary you don’t skip over things you bring them all to our attention. You also have a beautiful voice that is just made for exploring. Take care

So many stories of people’s entire lives, then it seems one day..decided ‘leaving,’ ALL they ever worked for…! 🤔 Thank you for these intriguing stories!

The places you show us are so fascinating. There's a sadness too. Lives lived and gone. Makes you wonder. Thank you for bringing us along. 🙂

Thank you again Lesley for another beautifully done video. As always, I can't wait till the next adventure.

Awesome exploration, thank you.

Beste jongens van Bros of D, prachtig wat jullie doen. En met zoveel eerbied. Het aparaat in de tweede slaapkamer is waarschijnlijk gemaakt om je bed op te warmen. Je kan deze ook zien in de film van Fredorice Fellini "Otto e mezzo". Ga zo door, ben een fan. Groeten uit Amsterdam

Los lugares siempre hermosos, tu relato más que maravillosos, transportan a cada lugar que estás, gracias , saludo desde Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷

Hi Lesley, what a wonderful video and you are such an amazing person, I know your mom is proud of you! You are so awesome,I always look forward to your videos my friend. Continue to stay safe :)

Hey Lesley, brass looks similar to Gold but not as shiny and copper has a distinct reddish hue and is used outdoors or in kitchens. It turns that beautiful turquoise patina when outdoors

This video was amazing! The amount of stuff left behind is mind blowing! So very sad the circumstances of their leaving this place. Thank you 💖

Hi! I really like the way you do and explain your tours around this all mansions, and places in Europe! You and your crew are amazing!
