I worked there as a security officer and manager in the mid 1990s. It was still called the White House Motel. The apartment on the second floor of the main building is where the owner's son resided. I've been up in that attic in the summer and you're right, it is hot as Hell in there. There used to be a clock tower above the attic. The main lobby was impressive before they ripped it out and turned it into a nightclub. The front desk was huge and there was a fireplace in the lobby too. It's a shame someone couldn't renovate it and make a decent business out of it. In the 60s and 70s, the motel was usually occupied by people travelling to Maryland to gamble. There were slot machines in the bar and lobby, but that was before I worked there. In the 70s, race fans would stay there to attend the car races at Budd's Creek raceway.

MrAkihiros well technically what he's doing is illegal. They don't enforce it, but abandoned places are still owned by people. The deed for the land doesn't just expire when the business goes down. So this is absolutely considered trespassing. Even if it's been foreclosed, the government still owns it. They won't enforce it on KZread and such social media sites, but if you were to make a commercialized TV show with sponsors, chances are you couldn't get away with doing illegal things as the premise of the show, even if they're harmless unenforced things.

"Our Unseen Guest" is a poem about God, written by Ken Brown. The exact print in this video is available on Amazon. ""Within this home each night and day We host a special guest Whose presence in so many ways Shows how we all are blessed. Not one, but every room is shared, And also every meal. Our Guest is part of every prayer Of thanks or quiet appeal. This humble home immersed in love Will now and ever be A little bit of Heaven above; Our Unseen Guest is God, you see." - Ken Brown

I think it's really sad that so many places like this are left empty and basically just left to rot. It could be turned into something cool. Places like this would be great to make into sleep shelters for homeless people. It would be nice to see something like that happen because there are way too many abandoned places that could be put to good uss

I love the weird sound effects you add to the video. It's almost like the sound effects they'd have in those 80s space movies to make you feel like you're out in the middle of nowhere... decades away from the nearest civilization.

I like how he laughs when he's scared 😂. I think everyone does that. It lightens the tension. I watched one his videos, where he said he was pretty brave, because he goes in these places by himself. Yeah that does take guts. We're just watching him at home now in luxury but, he's in those scary places. God bless him. Amen.

Looks like someone may had been living in that top room towards the end. Had a monster drink, power strip, bathroom with air freshener and stuff in it, etc. Looked like stuff that wouldn't had been left behind or is somewhat recent.

Thank you, Dan! I really enjoyed this trip back into history. You are very brave!

@X G that's so true. I care, but I'm not rich. If we taxed the top 10% properly, we could easily provide for the bottom 50%, in addition to whatever they could provide for themselves. That's why I'm Socialist. It's not a dirty word kids, it just means not letting the rich and powerful take everything. People can still get rich, plenty rich, but not to such an immoral degree that 60 million others have to do without some form of basic needs. It's sad that we have a sick political party (Republicans) that will fight to the death to defend this system (unregulated predatory capitalism).

@thisisdanbell , I stayed at this Motel close to 20 years ago driving back from Florida with my family. It was not a nice motel back then. (Pretty scary, actually.) When I saw this, I called my parents and I just mentioned the name and the video of watching it and my parents remembered it just by the name.

Why was it scary? Because of other guests or just the area?

I’m like Dan Bell. Brave in the face of supernatural. We don’t get freaked out easily, but when something is wrong, we know it.

The creepiest thing was those stairs outside. I could imagine you tumbling head first down them, and how that would look as the camera captured it all.

*Gate open, backdoor open, just walks right in* THAT'S THE START TO EVERY HORROR GAME/MOVIE CMON MAN! Also, you are incredibly brave. You get so much respect.

My grandma actually ran this place for a time twenty three years ago. We had so much fun there, It changed a lot over the years! Thanks for sharing.

I give props to all you urban explorers who go by yourself. I was an Urbex before anyone coined the term. I lived in Champaign, IL in 1986-1988 and the back roads and all the way to Indiana were a lot of abandoned house. Me and my g/f would go explore. I am a photographer, so the pictures were so great. Before video cams were prevalent. But I would have been scared to go by myself. I am brave and I am not scared of anyone or anything EXCEPT abandoned places and abandoned pools with water in them lol. Just because of the vibes and stuff. But I am an adrenaline junkie, so it is fun to go with someone else. One house me and my g/f went to, we walked in and it was just as if the family had vanished. Everything was still there. Dinner on the stove, it was so creepy that I knew something terrible happened there and had to leave. My g/f stayed and took pics but I had to leave the property and go to the street. But so many cool places we explored and I am babbling. My point was it takes a brave person to do that alone IMO. Thanks so much for sharing this way cool video!!!

Motels are so cool! They have a creepy old feel about it and the smells are unique!

If that loser was that interesting to people they could go waste their own time to look it up. Busy body people. Oooo look a criminal! Probably some serial killer!! Lol.

I respected the way you respect the building.

I just wanna take a minute to tell you thank you Dan for all your hard work making these videos. I love them.

Having worked in a semi abandoned warehouse I can probably say for certain that it was the wind closing a door. Sometimes the wind does it slowly, sometimes it does it quickly but usually it is the wind.

this building is in great condition

Watching these abandoned places videos are giving me the creeps!

There is NO way I would ever explore an abandoned place ALONE. I'm just too chicken.

Considering legal concealed carry is pretty much nonexistant in MD, and the police would immediately assume he's carrying for offensive purposes rather than defensive on the offchance he got caught, pepper spray is generally a smarter choice in this type of urbex situation. I'm almost positive he carries pepper spray (or something similar) for those reasons.

I'm really surprised that no one else has ever made the connection of the chandelier in the main section of the motel, and the box of crystal bobbles in the attic (that go with it). Worth quite a bit of money if it were cleaned and put back together (which isn't difficult). Proof that thieves and vandals are stupid.

I am an avid lucid dreamer and just realized that I may have very well been walking through abandoned malls, and hotels like this my entire life when I go to bed. And i'm being serious. So many places just like this with old hallways and junk laying around. Ill rummage through drawers and find pictures of people i don't even know. It's weird. Maybe that's why i like these videos so much???

I've driven by this motel. The "Shine Inn" is still there and apparently has been kept up (at least on the outside). I've seen several cars parked there, so either it's back in business or they're working on it. I've discovered that may of these old motels have become contractor lodging for transient construction companies to house their employees while working on extended projects in the area.

I'm glad you're doing this on motels. I too have always been fascinated by them and their wonderful history!
