Too many homeless vets sleeping under bridges for there to be abandoned homes.

@@JubbyLandry as someone waiting for public housing there are to many people in general needing housing or wanting to own a home for all the empty homes and apartments abandoned or not to exist

@@hieithefox absolutely 💯. It's sickening how the elite are doing the poor and oppressed.

@@hieithefoxwho’s paying to remodel it? Not the homeless 😂

Herbs were hung to dry for spices. Would have been ground up , then stored.

that's not entirely true, it depends on the use...I'm Pegan and lavender and roses can both be hung for spell work and for drying out the plant!! I did the same thing for my honey lavender cookies!!

@@pubbychan3657 When you say Pegan, do you mean the hybrid Paleo & Vegan diet or did you just misspell Pagan, as in the religious beliefs? I'm confused because you mention both spellwork & food.

Bingo! My neighbor (an elderly woman from Yugoslavia) hangs herbs upside in her garage all the time. When I have my windows open in the summer it wafts nicely into my condo!

Lavender is not evil !!!! HERBS AND SPICES

Can you message me on instagram? 😊

I grew up in Lakewood NY.

Wow! Do you know the address??

​​​@@BigBankzdid you ever get the message? Schiller pianos are expensive, wow! Thats a few thousand dollars in its current condition. They are well known for being millionaires pianos. Got some hot spots for abandoned camps and mansions as well, but theyre all in maine. Bunch of em in my area though if your interested, its been a side hobby for 15 years, i find alot of em

😢😮

If I wasn't so old I'd love to buy and restore !😅

I also live in the South, and when I first saw the sage hanging up in the kitchen, I got a bad vibe about the house. It could have been used for keeping bugs out,, since it repels them. Like Annabelle said, the porches are painted lt. blue on many porches in the South. I wondered if the first family left because they thought it was haunted. Seeing sheets in the tub with dark colorations on the sheet? The next family also left a bunch of stuff in the house, like they were in a hurry to leave. Why? Weird! Thanks for showing this house!

I've heard that the ceilings were painted blue on porch/ verandas to keep bugs away.

@@maryellenshockYes. It’s to keep bugs away by making it look like sky so they won’t land and nest. Not sure how it would confuse ghosts, but always love a good ghost story!

@@maryellenshock Blue doesn't scare bugs away, you're eaten alive on the porch whether it's blue or cream or any color. Nothing scares away southern bugs. The belief behind Haint Blue is that ghosts are searching for a home, a roof over their heads. They get on a house's veranda and see nothing but blue over their heads, they think there is no house there and move on. If someone is especially afraid, they will also paint the foyer and hang sage and other fragrant herbs to ward ghosts off. It looks like a prior owner of that house was very afraid. Did you see where the living room paint was peeling and it was Haint Blue beneath the paint?

Have you been drinking?

Ooh, I would definitely not want to move in.

It is a beautiful old home. So elegant with the details and I love how it wasn't completely remodelled destroying the original features. Not hard to imagine a family or couple living in it. Back in the day it definitely would have had one or two servants as well. I've seen enough period movies shot in real houses to recognise some of the features and why things are set up the way they are with the formal dining room, sitting room and even the enclosed patio where a lot of iced tea would have been drunk lol Those stairs are too narrow and austere to be anything except to children's bedrooms or possibly servants quarters. All in all, a really lovely home, not one bad vibe was felt the whole video of Johnny exploring. Its a home too full of heart to be left to rot into nothingness. So sad.

I agree. I would move in tomorrow.

Doesn't look like sage.

It's been said so.

No, it’s lavender

It's most likely lavender however, Russian Sage does look a lot like lavender and it grows better in in certain locations. I can't grow lavender in my yard for the life of me but i can grow the biggest, best Russian Sage bushes like it's nothing at all.

Aliens took them.

@@Bluerose888 more likely project red, BLUE, green BEAM ! 😀

I wanna buy it

Floorboards upstairs are quite wide. It's old.

If you look at the door jambs in this house you will see that it is quite old and was probably built onto at a later date. I think the tax records indicated 1846.

We had high ceilings in the south in the older houses.

Old houses had high ceilings. Actually, 8' ceilings only became common during and after WW2 because standard studs were cut to 8' to save wood. Before that, they were cut to whatever the homeowner could afford. My Grandfather was a contractor. he built his own house with 10' ceilings on the main floor.

Explorers are simply not going to take the time to find out all the pertinent information. all they want to do is make a video and get it online so they can start getting paid. getting all that information takes time and they're simply not going to take that kind of time to find the information out.

@@jimmyelliott7473 Some exploers do research the history of the places they show. in fact quite a few do so.

That's a shame. @@jimmyelliott7473

actually theres a few that do so they can get the story of what happened@@jimmyelliott7473

​@@jimmyelliott7473Bollocks! Johnny often gives background details at the very beginning of the video about who and why and when. He does this kind of investigating after he's shot the video, though sometimes he knows the details beforehand if it's well known. He's one of the few urbex people who bothers. Go be negative and jealous elsewhere, or apologise. Your choice. But your energy, as it is, is negative and unwelcome.

See? Mr. B? Wha'd I tell ya!

The ledge was probably used for indoor plants and flowers.

The ledge was for the cats. 😹😹😹

If it's haunted , I'll take it as long as it's free or dirt cheap. I'll cleanse it first then slowly fix it up.

Isn’t that sage hanging from everywhere?

@@danevertt3210 I thought it was some kind of dried herb.

@@Bluerose888 sage is an herb

At 1st I thought it was lavender but now I'm thinking sage. Behind the fire place would be a great place to dry things like your herbs & beans etc.

Yes it's lavender hanging I still use them in my house beautiful smell

Or possibly Russian Sage. The 2 look very similar.

Yea I don’t like new houses. I like older homes with character.

I'm like you I want modernized ! When we bought are house the same family had lived in it for sixty years , they didn't have electrical outlets in the entire upstairs the walkway to the outhouse is still here so many things we're never updated I had to have electrical outlets!

The toile inspired wallpaper is a popular design element that often gains a resurgent popularity during historical anniversaries like the Bicentennial, for example. Not sure when this house was built, but it's possible they chose it during one of those events.

Heck yeah bro!

These abandoned houses should be made available instead of being neglected for so long. Too many homeless people out there.

Haha I can imagine a little girl running up those stairs and being admonished by her mother, or maybe the cook, that proper ladies don't run up stairs! Walk!

@@Tomeccho hehe for real! "Walk, and not run in this house" 😂
