I used to clean a bowling alley. After hours of course, sometime around 11 pm. It had a totally different vibe at night time. One of the creepiest places I've ever worked, i was always looking over my shoulder. All those horrid memories are flooding back

It must have been really spooky having an orchestra follow you around.

"Try not to watch this video before bed." *watches video, before bed.*

After years of overnight security at dead buildings, nothing I see on your channel actually scares me. However, there are so many safety issues I see in these places you go that I am concerned for your safety. Love the vids man, stay safe.

Weird to think that as we watch this video that that fan is still spinning.

I bet all the homeless people coming out of the woods were wearing bowling shoes.

Ceiling fan. NOPE.

Wow, never have I seen a place this destroyed with the power still on! Great vid, we might have to take some cues from your production quality also haha. What kind of rig/stabilizer do you use to film with?

Kept watching thinking there was going to be footage of the homeless people you spoke about..

God dammit Wii Sports, you did this!

Those ceiling fans really did it for me... Great vid bro.

This was the former Pike Creek Bowling Center in Wilmington Delaware. The place burnt to the ground in early 2017.

I am certain that the exploration of an abandoned bowling alley would be every teenagers dream.

Is this the bowling alley from Silent Hill? What the fuck is this?

I am literally obsessed with watching urban exploration videos. Your videos are really interesting and informative :)

My advice for you: don't ever go UE alone. Never ever. Always bring a friend or a group of friends. You never know what you might encounter in the dark.

The broken fan spinning around is the funniest & creepiest.

That wobbly fan gave me the creeps as did the walker, some older person who's long gone must have known every pin and tool on that wall , sad to see..

If you close your eyes, remain very still and quiet you can still hear the broken fan spinning far off in the distance....

Lots of good equipment in there still. Its a real shame to see it all wasted. Hate to see those scoring consoles wrecked like that.

The fan is still spinning! Love the video Dan. Always look forward to new ones!

I cannot stop watching this video! At 8:14 there are brand new pinsetter parts on the wall. Exploring that place would be beyond awesome! This is the best video ever, Dan!! Will you explore more bowling centers soon?

i absolutely love the shot at 1:58! keep up the superb camera work, and i love what you do

Wow, the power was still left on! That's crazy, reminds me too well of an abandoned hospital I once explored. At this old hospital, the power is only left on in part of the building, since a police station was built next door to it!

The power is on! How is that even possible? This place is seriously creepy, like in some sort of a twisted nightmarish way it's still open for business!

That fan spinning was a great shot with the lighting and music, great vid as usual Dan!

the ceiling fan is what sealed it for me personally. then again, those derelicts that you mentioned may have turned it on for absolutely no reason except to scare the hell out of anyone who may wonder in. Great vid as always! :D

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.

"Don't watch this before you go to bed" Thanks. I'll watch this in the morning instead :)

I'm not gonna lie, I would probably take that Pepsi clock.

Why is that ceiling fan me after I’ve worked my two job shifts back to back and my mom asks me if I can run to the grocery store really fast 😂😂😂

This place would be really cold to explore, also looks dangerous but the thrill of exploring is so satisfactory! New fan from Ohio!

As soon as he said, try not to watch this before you go to bed, AND I AM LIKE IN A COMPLETE DARK ROOM IN A BED WITH ONLY THE LIGHT OF THE SCREEN 😣😣😣

Brunswick A-2 Pinsetters...... great machine!

1) Those ceiling fans -- creepy af! 2) I never understood how power isn't cut to places like this. 3) Are you gradually becoming desensitized to the creepiness of abandoned places?

The thing that worried me the most was there's still electricity there, which makes it really dangerous in case there's some water on cables or if you touch damaged appliances that are still connected.

damn shame. bowling alley was most likely owned by an elderly individual/couple and HAD to shut its doors. i used to go to a bowling alley in chatham,ny when i was living up there named chatham lanes. a really nice old lady owned it named mrs.cross and everytime i see an alley nowadays her words from god has to have been between 1998 and 2000 echo in my mind: "i do not know how much longer i can keep this place in business geoff. things arent like they used to be. even 10 years ago (the 80s she was referring to) this place was BOOMING. this is the kind of things folks and the local teens used to do and was thier hangout. now thier hangout is on the internet or in front of the tv." its sad really. the jukebox in that awesome old stainless diner was where " bill and sally" and all of thier friends used to conglomorate. now bill talks to sally over the computer and goes to places like gaming conventions and to the phone store to buy the next video game thats hot. things will never be the same*sighs* i unfortunately was born in the current times with technology but i often wish i could just do the simple things that my parents and grandparents were accustomed to doing. killed a whole night and noone was bored lol.

More sad than scary. Such a sad waste of a place that represents a happier time. Thanks for the vid!

Omg I had that exact same fan in the dining room growing up. Same design and everything.

4:26, Guys not only the Landmark III was Going, One of the Nutone Haciendas Behind that Casablanca Panama thing, In between the 2 Tvs was also going. Look closley, so you can see what I mean.

Hey I did some digging and to answer some questions I think it's Mr. Bill's bowling alley in Columbus Ohio. It's about an hour from me.

Seriously, Dan, I used to be a master Brunswick mechanic for many years and there is a gold mine in that place. Yes, those are the ancient Brunswick A machines, with the hockey sticks for a triggering system, but the rest of the parts are basically the same. All those new parts in the Brunswick bags are worth money. Where is this place located? We really need to talk. I would love to meet you at these places and explore with you....

Thank you for posting a fabulous abandoned video, Dan. It looks like from the mold and the look of the bowling shoes that this bowling alley has not been professionally used since at least the mid 2000's, or even earlier than that.

I am totally addicted to your walkabouts! Just imagine if in each place you went back in time ....wonderful

Bowling Alley: ☐ Not rekt ☑ Rekt

2:54 i love that sound

Another cool video! It's crazy how the old ceiling fan is on and some lights!

I can't believe that the A2s are still there... They are in such demand, best pinsetters ever made...

This place closed down in the summer of 2009. Another local bowling alley picked up the lions share of the leagues and open bowling from here.

Damn that one shot of the bowling area with the fan shaking and half of the lights on was creepy af

The background music is eerie. Sets the mood!

Top notch quality and sound, definitely gonna check out your other vids.

Just recently stumbled upon your videos, and am enjoying them very much....interesting places with wonderful, very creative documentation. Thanks so much!

Why is there always a wheelchair or a walker? It's like they drop them off once a building is abandoned!!

Nice video, Dan. The ceiling fan was eerie!

this is my comfort video

Nothing really scary about this place. It's just like any other old abandoned place: OLD AND ABANDONED.

That old bowling alley in America 🇺🇸 sure looks creepy and the music from the beginning is also creepy as well. I have never seen any abandoned places in America 🇺🇸 like that before in my entire life. I think that vintage bowling advert probably from the 1950s creeps me out but it looks kinda interesting. By the way, that woman on the left side of the advertisement looks kinda really cute and pretty. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪.

That's so cool!! I've never seen the back of the bowling lanes before. Sad to see all the vandalism.

Hi! I really enjoy watching your vids. It gets me out of the house a bit! I like it better when you keep on talking as you walk thru the places - telling what you are thinking as you see stuff. I'll bet you others would agree :)

Humm I worked at a 24 lane AMF bowling center for 4 years and those machines in the back look like Brunswick pinspotters . I am truly surprised that the power was left on someone has to pay for the power . Please be safe out there .

That ceiling fan flailing around with its amputated blades was the creepiest thing of all, I think. That and the fact that the power was still on. WTF?

It was worth it Dan! Thanks for sharing your vids, I enjoy watching them very much. You do such a great job. I can't do what you do but I get to experience doing it through you. Thanks again!

Kubrick might envy some of this footage! Good job.

Something tells me this isn't even in Ohio... ;) nice work Dan. How do you find all these extraordinary places?!

I'll never understand vandalism, like what the hell is the point? Also why did that place still have power?

I can sit here and watch these videos all day. The ambiance you have in your videos is some of the best on KZfaq, keep it up!

the wide shot with the creepy lighting and wobbling fan is the most unsettling part of the whole video

Hey Dan, if your still in Ohio you should check out the Ashtabula Towne Square Mall it's in foreclosure and has only a couple of stores left in it.

Really enjoying your videos Dan :-) They are Interesting, scary, sad ,but Intriguing all at the same time! It never ceases to amaze me, how humans have to vandalise everything, it's like something from an apocalypse movie.The dead Mall series really fascinated me .I like the way you narrate and add the music too.

Hey Dan Bell I really appreciate the hard work that you put into your videos and the risk you take. A new Fan.

Nothing quite like abandoned places with power still on. It's extremely sad. It's like this building still alive with memories doesn't even notice that everyone is gone or see how hopelessly ruined it is.

Sad to see those old A2s rusting away.

tell us more about you getting chased off.

Terrifying, especially that broken ceiling fan and the creepy 'lift' music. You are a brave man.

I don't think I have seen a video where you said others have been where you are at. Creepy. But glad to see you are still doing these videos, even now, 2 years later!

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.

looks like the rubble was also vandalised

man, i always wanted to see behind the bowling lanes too. You sir, are amazing!

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?

All Ohio bowling alleys and bars suffered with the smoking ban. Lotsa alleys went bust...

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.

Wow!! why ist it Dan that your videos seem like a real Walking Dead scene in these places, keep them coming, I love it!!!

the retro kmart cart in the back wa cool also that fan was funny

All of a sudden I'm wondering how long it takes a bowling pin to decompose....

Im surprised that a salvage company didnt come in and take out the bowling machines and the lanes..Very cool video !

I grew up in a Bowling Alley in NJ..my Parents were on Leagues...it was fun back then...try you for showing us..i brought back fond memories!

52" Hampton Bay Landmark ceiling fan with a broken blade!

I realize they need extra pins but damn.. 500 extra pins really? lol

Ah jeez, I'm watching this while I'm in bed for the night, and I'm a little scared, but I just can't stop watching!

Yikes! Killer ceiling fan😵😱

And.....I am watching this before I go to bed lol.......

Dan, I think I can hear your fans coming. WE LOVE YOU DAN OMG DAN IS DA BEST AT EVERYTING DANS VIDEOS ARE AMAZING OMG I LOVE THE TOURS! In all seriousness thou I love your videos. Continue the great work.

This is great, creepy & very surprised that the power is on, awesome explore, thank you for sharing, the choice of music made it equally creepy ..

That was creepy! I liked the mangled fan and black lights over the lanes. Great video!

Why didn't you film the hobos chasing after you bro? That was the whole reason I watched this video till the end! Hahahahaha 👊🏻

I bowl competitively and I spend a lot on my shoes and balls. To see the shoes and balls just sitting there makes me sad. what a waste of money!

I did watch your scary 1920's apartment video before bed, heh had to turn my light on

Looks so much like the bowling alley of my childhood outside of Leechburg, PA.

I had a dream about being stuck in a bowling alley like this before i saw this video.
