It's sad to say these old style houses are disappearing too quickly. Pretty soon we're going to be left with trashy modern, copy and paste houses.

Our modern homes won’t even last 100 yrs, they are built quickly and cheaply 😢

Can you imagine what explorers will find in a 100 years time, houses will be void of life because it will all be on line. These houses you explore and this way of life will never be seen again, you’re keeping it all alive 👌

What a sad story about the child. I hope they got to be with someone who cared and had a good life. You are so kind in these places.

Those bottles had Avon in them. My grandmother used to sell them door to door. She had a bunch left at the house. She had all different designs.

My grandma did Avon too 😅🤣😭 we found 2 of everything..one for my dad one for his brother...10 huge totes of nothing but avon...still in boxes...soaps...perfumes...lipstick probably ext. It's crazy!

What an absolutely beautiful home sad it's left to rot

I have always admired the respect you have when entering these homes, take nothing but memories. Great vlog as always Dave!

The 2 shells you found on top of fireplace upstairs are 75mm artillery tank shells. They were primarily mounted on tanks M3 Lee and M4 sherman.

Back on the 70s and 80s parents were ashamed to have children with disabilities, more so mental health ones, some actually would put their children in orphanages . People looking to adopt children didn’t want the ones whom had illnesses such as autism, downs syndrome, deafness ext , those children would always be overlooked. No one wanted their friends coming by with their children and seeing theirs was different . Some parents also knew their children would be judged harshly and so sheltered them away from the world . I wish I could say times have changed but I’ve experienced enough to know that would be bs.

It was actually more common in the 1930-1940’s and prior that parents took their children to Psychiatric Hospitals and they lived their entire lives there.

@@tishgoss9259 in the 30/40s children were left in mental institutions. Prior to that , in countries like America they would be left on poor farms . The 70s and 80’s parents would put them in orphanages,put them up for adoption And so forth as I mentioned previously . The child’s upbringing was often very hard , parents didn’t understand the child’s “ not normal “ behaviour . Illnesses such as ADHD, ADD, autism , were not understood, especially when seen in females . The child would be viewed as “weird “ , “ extremely sensitive “ “ shy “ many other labels It is only now that it’s starting to be recognised more , further complicated by the fact that diagnosis is still from male perspective but autism, ADHD are vastly different with females . We mask very well most of the time and it presents differently in us . I type with experience and knowledge

I'm not certain how you know they had a special needs child, but as a clairvoyant, it may explain the feeling of conflict between a woman and a man that I picked up...defensiveness and misunderstanding. In one of the bedrooms I felt disdain from a sense of imprisonment but I assumed it was lady of the house, as if perhaps her husband was a jealous type, wanting to keep her to himself through isolation. I'm only able to pick up their emotions left behind so I am left with the assumption of the dynamics of it all. A special needs child would make sense of it even more. Now I feel like I need to watch the video again to see if I can pick up more. Thank you 😊

i dont know why you titled this... mother kept her family home like a prison... i saw none of that, she may have had a child with disability, perhaps who ran a muck now and then, we werent there to witness yay or nay, but i saw a gorgeous home. I loved the odd piece of history you found in some of the rooms, trinkets etc. loved this video.

It's called 'click bait'; they title it to draw people to watch when there's no real history of it.

One of these days an explorer will find a note that says "If you've made it this far, it's yours" with the deed and a key, lol! If only.

I am sure the money needed to make repairs would be massive and that's not even thinking about property taxes for a house such as this. Most of the time there are people who own the property but the family can no longer afford the maintenance and upkeep.

Wierd how it’s open to elements but no vermin signs, not that dusty either. Most houses open like that turn into nests. Abd spotless fireplaces! What a beautiful home.

The chandelier pulled down so that people could light it in pre-electric days You pulled it down, lit it and then raised it towards the ceiling.

Thank you for telling the story! It helps me imagine the home when it was alive with people.

Dave this is one of the beautiful homes you’ve done it is incredible,so sad it’s all just left to decay thanks Dave loved it Ann🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

I love the music you always choose for your video's and your photos are so beautiful, what a sad story for that poor child, I'm glad someone found and took the child away. I love the kitchen I bet it was beautiful. Thank you for taking us along on this trip it was incredible. Stay safe and take care.

Wow how sad that the mother was like that. Because it a beautiful blessing to have a child. And for the mother to behave like that. She should’ve been shamed of herself. You are so respectful and very kind in telling their story . Thank you for your videos. God bless you.🙏

And yet there are many toys and children’s books throughout the house, which indicates the presence of a nurtured and cared for child who was part of the everyday life of the family, so can we really believe the child was kept in the basement?

What a tragedy. Poor child 😢 This home is absolutely stunning...

I’m not entirely convinced the child was kept in the basement or neglected. There are beautiful toys and children’s books throughout the house which clearly indicate the household presence of a child who was nurtured and cared for.

The wallpaper in the entry hall is beautiful. So sad that the place is crumbling away bit by bit. Just think, if the child had been treated nicely this place would probably still be lived in and buzzing with activity.

Those car bottles are Avon cologne bottles.

That basement does not look like it was used as a cell for a disabled child. It was utilised. However there was a kid’s bedroom, toys, wheelchair, baby photos in the living areas. I don’t believe the story about them locking their child away in the basement. Within the house maybe.

I agree. Judging from the amount of “adult” magazines and tapes, I’d say a man was the last occupant, maybe post divorce. There were some more recent Polaroid photos with a younger looking man, and maybe his parents. The kids toys could have been his childhood things, and siblings.

My husband collected the old Avon cars, trains, ect cologne bottles. The couple you picked up he has. But, that house is amazing. I hope one day it can be restored. The story is so sad, that poor child.

Makes me so sad that there are so many abandoned properties, so many that someone would love and make home. Such a shame.

When you were in the basement I heard a man say ‘I’m here’ twice 😮

I heard that too. It was like a whisper and the second time was just after the first time (about 33:45). I normally don't go for all the ghost stuff that some likes to show but this wasn't one of them and he didn't even hear this voice it seems, as he doesn't say anything about it. My hair in the back of my neck stood up. I heard it a third time when he started to walk. He was standing still when I heard the voice the first time and the camera was pointed to the floor.

My Saturday is now complete. A Dave video. Great explore

Amazing find. Love to see these but always feel sad and confused that the families just walk away from their homes. Then this one has the story of the little girl with disabilities and being locked in the basement. Thank you for sharing this one. 😊

Absolutely stunning home. Wish they werent left like that. So sad.

Shocked, Abandoned, fully furnished & front door left open..........

I can only imagine how stunning this home was. Have you ever fallen completely in love with any of these homes? Paranormal stuff too😳

Such a sad story the poor girl 😢what a lovely place I can just imagine how it was back in the day beauty like this should be preserved x

I definitely heard human sounds not made by you or your fellow Explorers. Wondered about that. The backstory explains a lot. What a sad home.

These old houses over there seam to stand abandoned way longer than here in the states. They were built to last for 100s of years.

Wow what a beautiful house despite the decay. You are always respectful of other peoples property when you visit these places. Thank you for sharing.

Great explore. I'm amazed at how clean the fireplaces looked almost like a fire was never in them. So much left behind. I will never understand 😢why it seems the people just walk out the door and just never come back.

Wow! This house is truly Amazing. You can tell they lived there a long time, with the amount of belongings that are there.

That was once a grand Home. The owner had exquisite taste.

Lots of children’s toys and books and some baby photos. Some one was loved.

Again , GREAT find Dave ! Absolutely beautiful place , it saddens me about the chid 😢

Greetings from Ohio USA! I just discovered your channel today and this home is absolutely beautiful!

Lovely place so sad about the child hope she got the love she deserves no child should suffer what she did. disabled or not. Thankfully we are more understanding and loving, really enjoyed video .

I knew of a young mentally disabled man who had been kept hidden away from anyone by his parents. He wasn't discovered until his parents both had passed away. They hadn't abused him, other than keeping him a secret. He was taken in by neighbors of the couple , then by a distant relative and lived out his life.

Love your videos I've been following them for years. Not many are doing what you do anymore. I enjoy your genuine narration. The explorers that try to look like they know what things are and they do not, just rubs me the wrong way. Keep up the good work and the beautiful explores ❤

Hello Dave what an amazing house 😊thankyou for explaining about everything in it as you went round hopefully 🙏 the daughter ended up somewhere good 😌 it’s so sad that in them days what people done with their children it’s a shame people done that Thankyou so very much for sharing stay safe always 🙏💯

What an amazing house, with so much character. I was surprised to see the glass on the pictures was so clean, and there was almost no dust on any of the surfaces. ... until he went thru that one doorway...so sad.

What a beautiful home thankyou David

Amazing place. No words

I have a disabled daughter now age 27, I become infuriated seeing how the disabled were treated in past. From parents, caregivers even down to the Medical field. The Kennedy hide their disabled daughter away too! Eventually she was in a group living estate and there was SAed by one of the caregivers!!
