Florida Roadside Attractions & Abandoned Places - Forgotten Buildings of Historic Brooksville
On the episode of Florida Roadside Attractions & Abandoned Places we explore the many abandoned, graffitied, & forgotten buildings of historic Brooksville, Florida, during a wicked haunting thunderstorm. Also, a revisit to the haunted May-Stringer House, Coney Island Drive-I (where ELVIS ate), and some filming locations to Deathedream (1974). So much ahead in this one!
My Deathhdream aka Dead of Night filming locations video shot in Brooksville:

Dear Jay, I know you don't know me. But I just want to leave this here for you and Chris. My husband of 35 years passed away today. But I know you and Chris will help me get through it. Your videos helped me get through needing and recovering from a recent hip replacement surgery. Y'all keep up the great videos. I know one day both of you will be able to quit your day jobs and do this exclusively. I love both of you and couldn't have been happier when I found out the two of you were getting married. Your fan Janet.

Love that this episode came through for you. Brooksville is a cool town. I lived there for 2 months with my sister and family in the summer of 1971 after my parents moved from Temple Terrace after I graduated from King and then in August I started a new adventure as a freshman at FSU. Met my husband of almost 50 years there in the line to get our ID pictures made.
Good to be a fan of you Tampa jay and Chris the girl waiting for hunts on
Next time I visit my dad in Hudson, I'm going to make a trip up to see the Brooksville area. So many interesting places up in that neck of the woods.
Love these type of videos! Sorry that you lost your footage the other day 😢I appreciate your channel and your adventures, just stay safe in the abandoned areas. Your channel rocks!

I will return to Wauchula. The more and more I think about that day, the more and more I remember. Everything, it was so weird.
always enjoy these videos a lot, making me hungry as well, good thing it is almost dinner time for me, and it look like an abandoned office park, that would have had law offices, health clinics an such, it as you said probably ran out of money and broke contract with the contracters is my guess to.

I was suprised to hear you haven't been to weeki wachee yet. It's a fun place. We have even popped over for car shows in the parking lot. Have you seen "Mer People " ? It is fascinating. I want to go to Mertailor next. If you do go, would love to see it. Thanks for sharing!
Careful at that first place, INSANE amount of ticks. Brooksville is very bad in general with ticks, but ive been to that place dozens of tiimes, got hella ticks without fail
These abandoned places are so interesting, love my new channel👍👍👍
That wasn't a bear, it was a Sloth! 😀
Follow that dream was filmed in 1962 or 1963. Mostly in Marion county. I know that for sure. I lived in Ocala. At the time. And seen Elvis and the cast filming several scenes.
the brooksville raid wasnt a huge battle but it did happen
14:06 i believe that was the house where death dream was filmed. Its a wierd horror movie shot in brooksville. You can watch it on youtube
