The Proper People Thanks, guys! As far as my rig...I use a movcam cage for sound, lighting and sometimes monitor. I attach a vintage vivitar handle to it and keep it as steady as I can.

This is Dan Bell. Yea I was just terrified that we weren't going to get off scott-free, and I thought if they saw us filming them it would hurt our chances. They came around the corner with guns drawn on us so it was a bit more of a tense situation than in your video. I'll have to look into getting a cage type rig now, looks simple enough to carry around while exploring and the results look great.
@ThisisDanBell9 жыл бұрын
The Proper People Yeah, my cops had flashlights drawn. Haha. Worst feeling in the world. I hate getting caught. The cages are good because you don’t have to fiddle with all your extras. You just have to set it up so it’s comfortable for you. That’s the main thing. Once you’re comfortable, you can concentrate on getting good shots. I do find it difficult sometimes when I’m riddled with anxiety in these places to concentrate on getting good footage. I have to stop, breathe and start again. This video wasn’t easy. I wanted to get the fuck out of this place so bad but knew the video would be great so I mustered through.
@TheProperPeople9 жыл бұрын
For us we try to focus an equal amount on enjoying exploring the place and on getting footage. Because as soon as getting the footage becomes too much of a chore, making the videos won't be fun anymore. So yea a cage would be great for allowing us to get better footage without it being more work to film.

This was the former Pike Creek Bowling Center in Wilmington Delaware. The place burnt to the ground in early 2017.
@railroadskater28962 жыл бұрын
Yes!! And the adjacent restaurant area was Charcoal Pit. Pike Creek was built in 88, and closed in 2009. Run to the ground by decidedly poor management. There are plenty of videos about it, the year it opened, on youtube channel Bowlers Gazzette. But by looking at them, the bowling alley looked old even then. Wooden lanes, hand-written score. IT was built with new masking plates, seating and ball returns, but the pinsetters and wooden alley beds were used.

@railroadskater28962 жыл бұрын
@@BLAZERWILD No but just the sheer fact the power was left on all that time (mind you, it closed in June 2009), along with the firm who owned it was known to be sordid and controversial (ie Dan's reference to the local bums who "guarded" it) suggests it was either intentional or negligence. Not only was the place deliberately run to the ground, they were met with community opposition when they wanted to demolish it immediately after closure and redevelop it as a grocery store. Of course none of this was brought up in the news coverage over the fire, but who knows if the resultant elimination of the alley will boost any redevelopment plans.

I have a weird fascination with abandoned structures like this, especially those that are still owned by someone (which they would have to be, because someone is paying to keep that electricity on) who just isn't doing anything with the place. It's kind of sad to go through these places and think about what they used to be and how much meaning they had for people before, but it's really exciting at the same time to see the little nostalgic reminders of the past that have been left behind.
@k.g.alatore3558 жыл бұрын
I guess it's also fun to think about how an entire format came and went. Like, small-town independent bowling alleys aren't home to the same kind of culture that they used to be, they used to be one of America's main middle-class social hubs, and now they're...not. Many of them go under like this one. Same with shopping malls, used to garner a lot of foot traffic, used to rake in a lot of money, but now they...just don't. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but they're usually nothing like what the previous generation grew up with. And in no way am I romanticizing the previous generation, but it would've been interesting to see formats like this during their heyday.

But some places are abandoned for decades and decades.

Was going to make a Roman joke, but more importantly, Dan got chased by a group of zombie-like vagrants? Jesus, you have more balls than I would even have, man.

How long has this place been abandoned? I was surprised to see a walker just sitting there!!! What happened to the person that was using it? Did they suddenly not need it anymore?

Thanks for sharing Dan. love the couple of fans still turning. Shame we didn't get to see you being chased. Not that it would of been funny, but would of added to the errie feel of the video. Have to say, the best bit for me was the facy you captured the back side of the machines. I haven't really seen that done before in these films. The guys/gals that worked behind there were un-sung heros in a way. Often taken for granted when we go bowling, on what it must take to keep all those alleys running smooth and the keeping the games and fun flowing. Nice job on that bit especially. I was amazed at just how many boxes and piles of skittles were still sitting back there. Keep em coming Dan. Best regards.

So?! It's an abandoned BOWLING ALLEY. Not a haunted house or even an abandoned hospital. There's no ghosts or anything, it's just a wrecked bowling alley. I'm watching this and it is currently 12:19am, and I'm 14. What, are you scared?! If so, grow up or click off this video.
