Great back story on this one! As a young boy in Manitoba, my grandfather snared and collected gopher tails. The province had a bounty on them and paid a couple cents a piece for each tail as they were considered a nuisance animal back in the early 1900s.

Well, I suppose that explains why collecting them was one of his hobbies then. 😆 There certainly were a lot of signs of them in the area. Thanks very much for your comment!!

Cool old house. Must be difficult to live alone in such a remote location. The house had a cute design. Liked the shape of the roof and the little entryway/sun porch. Each room served its purpose. Quite a difference between this and the elaborate mansions that have so much wasted space. I wonder who was happiest in their home, probably not the mansion dwellers. Thanks James for telling the stories of this little ghost town. Makes it come alive.

I cannot imagine living alone in an area like that, I like peace and solitude but that's a bit extreme. Glad you enjoyed it Karrie and thanks a lot for your comment!!

I was chuckling at the gopher tail collecting too, that's a first, Must have been a quiet peaceful life living there and he must have loved it, to come back to check on his gardens. Sad when people aren't able to pass on at home. Love that fridge.

Back before they made scratching posts for cats, people would often put up carpet on a corner of the wall so that cats could sharpen their claws. Gopher tails, 😂😂😂😂 Great video James!

First, I absolutely believe that was a small black widow spider. I am 53 years old now and have lost all of my grandparents and a couple of aunts and uncles. There is nothing that I have found in my life that is as profound as the passage of time. It is the source of Joy and Pain all at the same time. The idea that such important people and important events fade until it's nothing more than old photographs and junk. Nothing makes me more introspective than an old graduation picture or an old wedding photo. It automatically puts everything into complete perspective. These videos I not only enjoy, but also receive sadness from. It really is just about what we do with our time in this world and what we leave behind

Hi James! Very interesting time capsule. I especially love it when they have vintage technology and appliances left behind. Really shows you how long it’s been abandoned. I saw a video years ago of one in Florida. Think it was called Paramore, or something like that. I love a ghost town!

I have a few that are filmed already and in the pipeline, some older like this one but also some "modern" ghost towns/neighbourhoods

Those were some extremely old hockey skates in the garage! Love seeing old bread boxes. Loved the living room curtains too. We used to have a hamper like that only ours was all white. Don’t like paneling but at least that one was a nice light color and didn’t darken the room. Quirky little paintings, make the house feel lively with family energy. I remember my grandma had a key holder like that. Of, back then she had at least 2 keys just for the car.😉 Those slide holders are awesome! I could definitely see myself using them in a craft! The corner rack in the kitchen looked to be in decent shape. What was that thing you said you had as a kid? I’ve never seen anything like that before! Cute old fashioned fruit basket. Really cool little house that was!

It was a coin bank, each of the towers held a different size coin, I think they were 5¢, 10¢ and 25¢. It also had a flimsy chain through the top to lock it. Glad you enjoyed this one and thanks so much for your comment!!

James what a wonderful look into the past, just so much to explore while watching this one, I just love the retro colors, clocks and chairs just so much. OK since this was a ghost town did you hear or see anything unusual, I had to ask lol, oh and gopher tails this was great at the end haha, thanks James!

Keith appears to have lived a very simple life, clearly with very little in the way of finances. From the age and condition of everything in that house and the overall signs of neglect and filth that reflect through the decay, I would say he was borderline of living homeless. That home was in need of attention long before 1977 when he moved in as the next owner. That house simply doesn't speak of a happy place to be by any means, even if the gardens surrounding it were flourishing.

@StaticSpaces

Ай бұрын

It's hard to say, because some people don't like to spend money on things, like updating etc, especially if they aren't likely to see a return on that investment. The fact that it's a ghost, means that people generally don't want to live in the area any longer. Also, I'm not sure how long this one has been abandoned but I'd imagine it's been several years, if not decades and unattended buildings degrade quickly without upkeep. Thank you very much for the thought provoking comment!!
