when you said "This old house" I was half expecting Bob Villa to step on to the scene and say hello.

"Yeah, it's fun. Ow ow ow ow... DAMMIT" - Dan Bell, 2016

I stayed at the Whispering Pines a couple of times with my parents around 1970-1971. It was a nice one-off motel. One of those times, we were in the original house part.

I swear - you're going to find a body someday in some ruins; it's just the law of averages...

Even the bed bugs left. Notice all the Crap Materials used, No pressure treated lumber... cheapest of everything. Nice Job.. on the video.

"Whispering Pines" - sounds like a place where some soft-spoken serial killers live...

To anyone wondering, this place was torn down in May 2019. There are pics online

Dan Bell balls of steel, skin of paper!

Oh my! The "wallpaper" in the hotel was the exact same as was in my parents bathroom! They had it in the bathroom until the mid 90's!! If I remember correctly, it wasn't wallpaper at all, it was paneling that was covered in the motif because the paneling also had textured grooves in the sheets. When I saw the design it was definitely a flashback moment.

That wallpaper reminds me of the color scheme from Bewitched. Groovy!

Looks cozy, warm , and a great place to stay.

This is Whispering Pines motel. This place has accommodated many young couples for their honeymoon. A couple of those honeymooners are in my family.

I wish Dan went into that house!

I'm so happy I found this channel.

In a video clip I watched on KZfaq, Charles Smith said that he set this particular fire, because he wanted to 'See flames'. He was eventually sentenced to 15 years total, and his fiancee Tonya Bundick was sentenced to 17 1/2 years total, for the more than 70 fires they started!

What do we think.. Fixer upper weekend project?

How did you not check out that two story house???

shout out to The Shining at the end there haha

I would NOT want to come up on this place at night time. It looks like the kind of place someone could get murdered in.

I love how nature is taking over the places you go to. Like all the plants are reclaiming everything.

There should be a "Come on Will, Don't Do That!" series.

I wish you'd still do this stuff. I miss it! :(

I'm LOVING the second channel Dan! Especially these long videos!

Dan Bell meets "Life After People". Maybe someday there will be an urban explorer who is at a location--and at a safe distance--just at the moment a floor caves in or a wall falls. On the first floor I saw what seemed to be an unbroken mirror in the back and one of the second floor rooms whose floor had fallen also had an unbroken mirror.

3:00 That's one tough tv!! These flat screens today wouldn't of survived that.

seems to me i watched this one when it was new. All those little red lines that should be here, aren't....watching some of these again and still love every single one. Thanks for existing, Dan and Will. ps...this looks like an ideal Another Dirty Room...lol

pretty wild how the trees are claiming their space back, would love to see in years to come.

For some reason the finding of rogue underwear always makes me laugh.

rooms looks like my room when I'm trying to find my keys

Dan, you are wonderful. Thank you for sharing these messed up vids.

Red Rum.....Red Rum....Red Rum....Red Rum.....

Great picture quality on this new cam.

Hi, i really enjoy your videos, and the way you present them. Love history and would love to explore

Will looks thrilled to be with you on this one. Lol.

I just love your videos. you and will are great...

It should be called weeping pines now lol

This should've been a Dirty Room episode

will makes your videos so much better!!!!

Oh my gosh! I just read an article about this and it mentions that there are 600 vacant buildings in that county where Whispering Pines is located...yikes!!!

I kept expecting it to pull a Poltergeist and fold up and suck itself into non-existents.

I think the pines stopped whispering at this joint a long time ago.

Wow Dan, what a find. From the postcards, it looks like it was a nice place years ago. Please keep the cool vids coming!

That ugly "Colonial Style" wallpaper was probably highly discounted by the time it was put up there, no later than the mid 1970"s,.

IT,S SAD REALLY IT LOOKED LIKE A NICE PLACE TO STAY

Too bad there wasn't a pool. I love abandoned pools, they are just so sad.

Love the wallpaper!! All they need is a couple of wagon wheels!!

So old the notices were typed on a typewriter. I recognize that wallpaper, my Nan had a cabin with very similar (in green). Predated electricity and indoor plumbing. Sadly, my uncle has neglected it for the last 20 years. Slowly decaying.

"this is the creepiest motel i've ever been in" you say that about every single hotel you go in lol

I really love your videos God bless everyone that hotel look so old look beautiful place but need alot repair i really love it all your videos

Watch the movie "CRASH". It's about this group of people who get off on auto accidents.

I thought this was the famous Pines in upstate N.Y. Its gone now along with all the other hotels from the old days.If you drive from DC/ Maryland to and thru Va.on hwy 301,you will see many little motels still standing and in good shape.There are many of them.

I recently passed this place on my way to Virginia Beach from Delaware & this place is still there... barely.

I'm really loving this second channel. Also, watch for thorns! XD

Some 409, duct tape and elbow grease should do the job. You'll be open in no time !

If there is a category past WORSE this would be it.

Oh my god. I LOVE YOU DAN BELL.

I'd say this was a beautiful spot one time, looks like it's at least a bit of the road

i love the film it stuff....its great.

thats a weird way to get your jollys off...

That seems to have been a pretty nice place some decades ago. Sad, that it's gone that way.

We had a Pines here in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, it looks just like that, it's being torn down.

The second motel is colonial style, and based on the interior trim it was built some time ago. The first motel was newer, so it was probably built later to accommodate more travelers. People driving cars on a large scale is what drove the motel and motor court business. Motels started popping up in the middle 20s when the highways developed and people took motor trips. Later, the interstate freeway system by-passed some of the areas previously served by the highway system, causing a lot of the motels to close. That's probably what happened here, because it's obvious this place had a lot of business at one time. Interior designs look to be from the late 60s to early 70s, which was probably when the newer part was built. The older part was probably remodeled at that time to update it. I found an article that says parts of the motel date back to the 30s. There's several videos on this site. www.publicsafetyreporter.com/2013/03/14/over-65-arson-cases-in-accomack-county-vacant-whispering-pines-motel-and-old-mallards-restaurant-latest-cases/ The last video has some history of the place. They also say there was a woman living in the far right unit of the first building at the time of the fire. Hard to believe anyone would be living in that wreck! The first room you went into or the one above it was where she lived. The couple torched the motel on I think April 12 2013 and torched the restaurant the next night. They were setting a fire about every other night in this area.

that is a tremendous amount of decay....incredible.The houses were cool tho...alot of structures in the vicinity. so sad to see it just waste away.

This would be a phenomenal movie!!! If backstories of others were developed as well. I'm sure some interesting ones are untold. I did Google and found just a quick read on it. And Tonya (oddly resembling Lori Daybell) was a attractive and fell in love w a drug addicted mechanic makes it interesting. The backdrop is located in what was one of the "richest rural counties in the nation until farming jobs disappeared, people fled in search of work, education levels fell and poverty levels rose" per Monica Hesse's book. This is a great true story

How many years ago did the motel shut down? $30 would have been a cheap room rate.

Something's whispering alright...and it ain't the goddamn pines! :P

(Commenting while watching, lol) Those two blue chairs look like possibly mid/late 70's at 08:55 That wallpaper is REALLY ancient. The yellow chair at 09:22 is definitely 70's

So sad to see in such decay! Why do they leave these buildings standing if they are so far gone??? Nice piece of land for maybe a new motel!

Looks like a awesome spot back in the day! Never find a needle under the beds back then,

Nice touch with the "The Shining" reference at the very end. Do NOT go in there!

Dan your commentary is hilarious.

That motel is totally salvageable. The main support structure, as you can see the cinder blocks behind the drywall, just need to take the trash and rubbish along with, yes, the intact parts as well leaving the bare cinder block. Get to work. Whole thing can be completed in a year.

Arsonists scare me. Not the ones that do it for financial reasons, but the ones that do it for sexual gratification. In nursing school Psych rotation they were called firebugs.

What I don't get is, someone owns this property....how can they just let it go like this ? Does a bank own it ? A private person ? If a bank why didn't they sell it and get ANY money for it instead of letting it fall apart ? If a private person, why wouldn't you sell it.....what am I missing ?

Damn! This has gotta be the most broke-up hotel you've been to! Been sitting open and vacant for quite a while, obviously. Place is done torn up. LOL

Will is so adorable. ☺️

Why didn't they just tear it down for crying out loud!!

Was this motel part of the arson? What would cause the motel to decay so much? It doesn't look that old.

Mother Nature definately checked in to that place! I am sitting here laughing at those walls because I could swear that is the same awful paneling that was in an upstairs room in my old house when I bought it... I'm going to look in a closet that I think it might still be in! Neat viddy :)

I love the bench covered in english ivy leaves at the end. And you are so right about the hideous horse auction wallpaper Dan. Maybe that is what gave the psycho couple the first initiative to burn it down.

If the wind pokes the motel it will fall over

Great video

you would think that they would have torn it down I hate to drive by places and they are either boarded up are not used it makes the town look ugly

This place is screaming to be demolished,although I like the tacky wallpaper.It is also one of your creepier locations for some reason.I like this one and the Pine Bluff one.Good stuff.

look at the face on the board @ 5:27

Dan, I LOVE this video! And here's why. Remember Twister? Well it's one of my all time favorite movies. It's an absolute classic. That's almost where this motel takes me. The absolute destruction of it makes it so theatrical in a way. I see why it's on Film It, rather than your main channel. But I appreciate it nonetheless. Great find!!

Loving these mini motel vids! Keep them coming.

It's not every day you get to see the 2ed floor on the first floor. I thought the difference between this & your main channel was the length of the video. That's why I'm surprised it was on this one.

Will cracks me up.😂

Only about 20 years abandoned and it's this bad. And while some of this is due to arson, even in places where the fire never reached there's massive decay. I'm thinking poor maintenance and construction. January 21, 2021 3:37 am

My lord, what a dump! I think the Big Bad Wolf could huff, puff, and blow that place down with little effort!

A classic triple D scenario around there: Decrepit, Depressing, and D-angerous.

Dan i found these pictures of what it was like back in the 1960s

Wills laugh brings me joy😂❤️

Why didn't you get the sweet old decrepit house in the back??

Awesome place

Love that shot at 4:00.

6:45 MAY BE 2 MOTEL'S BESIDE THE OTHER. MUCH OLDER IT LOOKS

My god that is insane you would think the fire department would do the world a favor and let that place just burn

Very cool. Thanks
