The round thing on the door is a doorbell. You have never heard of Acme!? Have you never watched the Roadrunner cartoons? Back in the day Acme made everything. The sorrow I feel seeing old abandoned homes like this is beyond words. She held her people even in death. She is silent, sad, no children's raucous laughter, no one to polish her into beauty. The piano's silent. I'm sure she must have been a music teacher or played piano in church. She will stand till nature takes her home...

I love every single piece of Carol's and her husband's furniture!! Did they NOT HAVE HEIRS WITH WHOM THEY LEFT THE MANY ANTIQUES IN THAT HOUSE? I just wish like crazy that I could get permission from her remaining family members, probate court, or tax court, to travel up there and remove the white set, and the sleigh bed , the high back walnut bed frame, the china cabinet, the buffet and diningroom set, the dessert cart, and possibly a chiffarobe that i think i saw in one of the bedrooms. Yeah. A lot. I know. I would be so HONORED TO OWN THEM , BUT I KNOW ITS only just a dream.

It bugs me that these beautiful homes are left to rot like this. They don’t make homes like this anymore at all.

I am just in disbelief about how much was left behind. The family just left it all there to rot. It's not really very hard to call an auction house and have an estate sale. I find it incredibly disrespectful of her survivors to just let her things decay in such a manner. And unfortunately as you said it's not uncommon but I still can't wrap my head around it. Those pianos and furniture which I'm sure she loved could have been sold to people who would have been thrilled to have it.

When you're talking about large items like you see here it can be cost prohibitive because in today's market they are really not worth what you would think they may be. Otherwise yes, the place would have been completely cleaned out a long time ago. When the widow died the house and land were almost certainly sold for the back taxes to someone who might lease out the land it's on for hunting or farming. Kinda sad but sometimes the interest of a new owner is elsewhere than preserving old houses....

I gave most of her clothes away...I divided furnishings with a brother,sold the house,she passed debt free,no will was necessary. Everything can be taken care of before an elder passes. I agree with the other comment,it takes respect. We have more people in our society today that just don't care...only think of themselves...and they just don't have any time for that,excuses.

Most of it looks like 70s and 80s stuff. Not all that old or valuable.

The “gears” on the door is for a windup door bell. Originally it would’ve been covered with a round metal plate that would’ve been struck by a lever when someone rang the bell from the outside resulting in a ringing sound. It had to be wound up like a clock, it works similarly to a windup bedside alarm clock. I recall my family had one in the 1960’s on our front door & I remember watching my mother wind it up, it was very loud when fully wound lol..greetings from across the pond 🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧

Looks like an old Electrolux with sleigh runners instead of wheels. My grandma had one and she would pull us on it when she vacuumed

The cabinets are not made of tin. They are made of steel, which was popular in the 1920's & 30's. The small design reflects an Art Deco motif. The have com back in fashion in England & these old cabinets are being restored/refurbished for use in today's kitchens. They tend to discourage mice. The blood on the couch has the same pattern in the different places it appears. I venture to say the pattern imprints might very well be from her being in a sitting position or the possibility that she was quasi-reclining. There isn't enough blood to indicate she bled out.st She was bleeding from The item on the front door was the inner workings of a doorbell. The furniture styles run from the late Victorian era thru the 1970's? The sofa she died on has me bit stimmed because it is a classic style that has been made up thru 2023. Upstairs in the bedroom with the white furniture, there is a little table to the left of a window (Time Marker 22:25 / 23:05) Behind the picture is a Goofus glass vase that appears appears to be in excellent shape with none of the original finish having been removed, which more often than not happens. Goofus glass is pressed or mold-blown glass with cold-painted (not fired on in a furnace) decoration. It has very defined raised pattern in the glass often referenced as "blown out." The pattern can also be pressed into the glass from beneath the surface providing an intaglio effect Goofus glass is thought to have been produced from 1897 through the early 1920s. Goofus glass was made by a number of noteworthy glass companies, but the most prolific manufacturers were the Northwood, Dugan, Jefferson, and Indiana glass companies. Northwood and Dugan made Goofus glass prior to beginning production of their more well-known carnival glass pieces in 1908. According to an article by David Ballentine, Goofus glass was originally marketed by such captivating names as “Egyptian Art,” “Golden Oriental,” and “Intaglio Art,” On the white stool directly across from the white baby bed is what appears to be a linsey-woolsey woven comforter or bedspread. I can't see it well enough to say for sure. However with the age history of the house, that is a definite possibility.

One possible reason so many things are still in the house……my mother-in-law from Nebraska inherited her sister’s house in California. They were both in their 80s. My husband and his brother plus me & my sister-in-law had to fly in from Iowa and Montana to help my mother-in-law go through the house (first time she had been in it) so she could take what she wanted and ship a few things back to Nebraska. Two women had lived in that California house and the last to die left it to her sister (my mother-in-law). No other relatives lived in California so there you have a house filled with belongings from two women who bought the house in the 1940’s. Eventually a realtor sold the place and I have no idea what happened to all the furniture, etc. When relatives have to fly in from other states, obviously emptying a house of a lifetime of goods that no one in the family wants means it either stays with the house or is auctioned. There are also people who buy old properties like hoarders and never get around to doing anything with them.

Hi Rick, that sewing machine is a treadle, meaning you had to work the foot to sew. Each of my grandmas had one. That is what I learned to sew on.

When a person dies and is laying there, without being found, the body starts to decompose. Decomposition leaves fluids everywhere. This is probably what we are seeing on the sofa. Very sad Carol was not found sooner. 😢

I love the look of old houses so much detail on the outside love the big wrap around porches and Victorian homes are my favorite ❤

Lots of inaccurate descriptions in this walk-through. They built a log cabin & you show a wooden ancient barn. That's an Acme steel kitchen cabinet. These were popular before WWII but this one looks like 1948. The sink is probably American Standard out of Pittsburg. Frigidaire-made stoves & refrigerators -- I had one from the 40s where I kept my beer as a kid. The company was founded in 1918. House looks like it's been looted pretty good. The framed pictures over the upright piano are not family members -- they're actors. From left: Henry Fonda (not Jimmy Stewart), Tyrone Power & Bob Hope. What's funny is that house explorers (many) go through the rooms where there is black mold (dangerous stuff) without masks or gloves, move things around like disintegrating books filled with paper mites, breathe stale air -- and you caught in your video the atmosphere in that house with all the dust & spores airborne at 13:15 & toward the end of the video too. That's what you're inhaling RangerRick. Wear a mask, please. These items may not have been left behind. Someone is the caretaker of the estate. Someone pays the taxes on the plot of land. Someone boarded up the front door & windows on the second floor. Wrapped the wire around the old telephone. Maybe there are issues with the insurance settlement. Issues with relatives who may live in another state. The picture of the young boy may have been her son. If she died on that couch (it's not necessarily murder). She probably had a heart attack, died, and was dead for a few days or weeks. A body will expel fluids -- it doesn't all look like blood -- it looks like the beginning of decomposition. Blood is far darker than what you're showing & it's not centralized. It's scattered. It's where she had lain. The piano is a Brambach -- established in 1823. One of the earliest & largest piano manufacturing companies of the late 19th Century - early 20th Century. An old Baby Grand could go for $2500 today & Brambach's (though they manufactured many pianos often made a good product). This one needs total restoration. They weren't designed to stand the test of time. The company went out of business in 1957. Upstairs you say it's easy to squat (squatters being homeless people who move into abandoned structures). But what's dangerous is if it's a shooting gallery (where they buy, sell & inject drugs). If any evidence is seen I'd get out fast. Uncovering a nest of drug addict activity can be threatening. Good luck -- but take better precautions.

The gears on the door is a door bell. It’s missing its backing. From the outside you would turn or twist som sort of knob and it would make a unique sound to alert the occupants of visitors at their door. 😊

Looks to me like Carol died an elderly person's unattended home death and may not have been found for a bit - so the couch got a bit icky. Fluids and stains don't have to mean something happened that you have to figure out. That's just silly ol' drama mongering for clicks. Stop that. She was old. She died at home.

I am surprised no kids went in there and destroyed the house and put graffiti all over the walls. At least the poor lady's house was left alone.

One can wonder how much love really was given and taken within the family and the community.

The stains look like the same basic patterns...I'm betting a medical issue at the end of life...😞

That thing with the gears on the door is an old doorbell. Had one on my old house that was also built in 1800's

Loved this. As I am watching your channel for the first time, I am pausing as you entered the back door into the kitchen. The ACME company made both porcelain coated steel sinks and cabinets starting in 1948. The house my father grew up in was built in the 1820's and sat on 1200 acres in the Sequache Valley in East Tennessee. He was the last generation of his family to live there. At our family reunion , just last weekend, I was looking at some old photos my cousins brought and in one of them, I saw the kitchen sink and cabinets, that I remembered my grandmother having in her kitchen about 25 years after they moved from the farm to town (after Papa Payne died). They were in a picture of the "old home place," on the farm. However, I remembered the exact same kitchen in the house where my grandmother lived, in town. I asked about the kitchen sink/cabinets and its exact match to her kitchen that I remembered so well. It turns out, my grandfather built this "new" kitchen for grandmama and when they moved into town, Daddy's brothers took it apart and moved it into the kitchen, that I grew up in, at their new place. It was an Acme kitchen. I almost cried when I saw the name on these. Until now, my grandmother had the only one I ever knew existed. You made my heart smile with this one. We washed many a ton of produce from the garden in that old sink. So to put this into context, the kitchen here post dates WWII but just barely. ❤

Kitchen cabinets, my in laws built their house in early 1950s. Same cabinets. So much furniture in this home is similar to in law’s home, had been inherited from their parents and grandparents. Many items appear to be from 1950s. They also had pianos and that vacuum cleaner. I had to clean out their house by myself. A daunting task. This encourages me to continue getting rid of my own old stuff so that my children don’t have to deal with it. I offer it to them now, explain the history and get rid of it if they don’t want it.

Yep , there were lots of new or remodeled homes with all metal kitchen cabinet and sink !

Thank you for the tour! The cabinets and countertops are made from steel. Acme was very popular post WW2.

I really enjoyed your video. I am new to your channel and I loved how you presented this home, and how you included the back story of this family. The music you included was absolutely perfect given the sadness and just the feel of the story. So I am looking for more of your videos, so well done and I just loved it!!

I would love all that furniture, its gorgeous

The guy looks at the old rotary phone like my grandparents had and all he can say is. There's a picture of a phone😂

I hope someone saves the stuff before mother nature ruins it all 😢💔

Hello Nancy how are you doing today

My neighbor had a sofa similar to that, it had fringes on it. He was born in the house in 1924 and it had all of his parents furniture in it. It's not far off from 1940.

All property owners, spirit or flesh have a natural need for privacy and total respect of property. Whether it is a rare time capsule or today’s Walmart is still all someone’s property, spirit, privacy. This video was done well and I liked the fact that it’s not a bunch of kids looking for free antiques to steal and sell, but rather older, mature folks filming. The very heavy vacuum cleaner in this video was called a bullet vacuum. Lots of elders leave outdated calendar’s on walls for several reasons, Broken pipes and floods in there a few times as well based on the wall in that bedroom.

I enjoyed your video. So sad to see someone’s life’s possessions and memories just sitting there.

Thanks I enjoyed it. One day my house is going to go that direction. I’ll be long gone by then.

The "gears" on the front door was the "doorbell" of the 1800s. The 1882 farm house I grew up in had one on the front door and the dining room door which were side-by-side.

That's why I don't buy much stuff because I can't take anything with me when I die 😞

I love old houses, and loved the stairs in this one.

MY. GOSH. I. LOVE THIS. STUFF. WHUT. A. GREAT. JOB. IM. NEW. HERE. !!!!!! OUTSTANDING. JOB. !!!

We bought a 150 year old farmhouse. It had been abandoned for many years. There was an antique metal Beauty Queen sink/cabinet. We restored it (had a lot of rust) and it now has a prominent place in my vintage kitchen replete with a working Kelvinator and O'Keefe & Merit gas range. So many treasures left behind here including a gorgeous antique clawfoot tub.

Idk why, but these videos of old abandoned houses makes me so sad. I mean, they're old houses so they were huge, and beautiful, and once full of life. Now theyre just forgotten and decrepit. Its just hauntingly sad. And knowing she must have had been on that sofa for a while for all the blood to be there. Its heart braking to know that she died alone.

EVERYBODY dies alone. When people die, they don't take other people with them. The experience is theirs alone. And no, it's not sad. Just part of life.

Anyone else notice on the Calendar someone wrote "Left Home" on the 15th and "Operation" on the 17th. Also the celebrity photos are Henry Fonda, Tyrone Power and Bob Hope.

The gears on the front door you were wondering about are what is left of a doorbell. That circular enclosure with the gears would have had a cover. On the outside of the door there would be a connected covered portion with a key head like crank that when turned would ring the bell inside the portion with the gears. It was on a tension system so you could ring as much as needed to get the residents attention. Hope this helps. A few of my friends from childhood had these on old doors in their homes. I am 67.

I don’t understand how the family or caretaker just left everything. Like someone said before me, how hard was it to have an estate auction to remove all belongings and then put the house up for sale? Sure is a big waste.

Exactly! Or at the very least, gather up all the usable stuff and DONATE them to some kind of charity/thrift shop? Would be a great tax write-off.

Hello Zoec how are you doing today

my grandma had a vacuum just like that one. It's an old school canister vac. You had to change the bag outside, because dust would fly everywhere.

Ah my goodness it gives goosebumps when you pressed the piano..the sound seems came from another creepy dimension.😏

You wouldn't want too , sleep overnight. On these abandoned homes. Very spooky indeed, especially the state of the homes, smells spirits, and earey and the set-up, of these homes.

What a great video. Thank you for sharing. It’s a shame to see that beautiful home go to waste.

Just subscribed!!! I been watching your program all day. A great job explaining everything.

Picturing somebody desperately ripping the panels off the walls to get to the other room creeps me out maybe more than the sofa's history.

Unfortunately, the stains on the couch are more likely to be due to decomposition. If the lady of the house wasn't seen by the neighbors for a few days, the most likely scenario is that she passed, and since she was not discovered for a bit, nature took it's course. And the "gears on the door" are a door bell 😅

🌷The beautiful furniture should be saved.

I've seen videos where people want their home decor to look very vintage and old fashoined and it looks pretty convincing until you see the big flat screen tv. I don't see any flat screens so this was a long time ago. As far as the vacuum goes, it looks like one of those kind the door to door salesmen sold to housewives. Maybe an old Hoover?🤔

I just found your channel & subscribed. I’d like how you give history of the house & owners . I enjoyed it very much. Great job.

It makes me feel sad to see the neglect of her memory. I would love to fix this home up, what a nice place to visit when you need a break from the stresses of your daily life. ❤

In his defense…I remember hanging TVs hanging from the ceilings in the ‘90s - typically in a corner with a great big bracket. Obviously not leaving behind the same faded shape of a picture though 🤣

The vacuum might be Electrolux. The fan, singer. I had to laugh when you wondered if the hung the tv on the wall above the fireplace. We used to have tv with big tubes in the back and before that they were in furniture called consoles. People would buy “console” sets that had candlesticks and maybe a bowl etc. I miss those days.

A lot of houses here in eastern North Carolina abandoned them and the people just let him rot it's a shame

Stains on the couch are probably fluids from decomp. sounds like she wasnt found for a while.

So beautiful

You've never heard of Acme?! It means the highest quality. It also was the name of a prominent grocery store! They were everywhere before giant. You're older than me and I remember them well. Even in old cartoons, weapons usually had the "Acme" logo. Like on anvils.....? Wow.

I believe that round thing you asked about by the front door is a door bell with parts missing. When you turn it like you did it would ding-a-ling-a-ling!!! Yes, that heart must've been at the funeral home, and brought back to take off all the cards and some give money, some just give condolences!

Hello Marie how are you doing today

Yeah with decomposition you’d of thought it would be a body shaped on the sofa but it depends how long she was left before being found.

This home was definitely a gem, they don't make them like before

I really enjoy watching, the history it amazing me. Thank you 🍀🇮🇪
