Jerwmyy. we live in USA.freedom of speech.someone maybe gonna stumbled on ur pics or mine Yaa help others everything else going to leave here ya..
Shame on you for your blatant disrespect in reading personal notes and letters of condolence.
Jeremy I just found your channel. Your narration style, choice of words and music, details of the family and the mansion are so amazing. Thank you. You are definitely a great filmmaker.
@@veronicaterrell7317I think he wanted to do it with respect, saying something about these words are a great tribute. But I see what your point is. I think he said something about how amazing these cards are still there. I'm wondering why the family abandoned all their personal photos and cards etc. They are the ones who seemed to disrespect the cards and photos by leaving those items behind.
@veronicaterrell7317 I disagree because it helps to tell this family's story and no matter what happened there or to them they deserve to have their story told as long as no one has told anything different yet then I say let it be told and me personally I'm saying prayers for the family 🙏
Mrs. Palmer designed this house from a mansion in Africa. The white stone came from Africa. The room was a dining room with a glass top. The furniture was all designed to reflect the beauty of Africa. Mr. And Mrs. Palmer were very giving people. Really down to earth. ✝️
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate the amount time and talent it took to create all the stonework in that home.
Impressive indeed! I appreciate it a lot!
It's white granite😊
Living in America, I truly appreciate craftsmanship behind a home, this one’s gorgeous. I can’t imagine the heartache they experienced and this property is stunning. The stone masonry is amazing and I’d love the f-|< to live in this “flintstone home” it’s awesome
I certainly love it and would pay to see this place fully restorded.
Yo I'm the 200th liked. I HAVE POWERRR$
That house should have been preserved or sold at auction to keep its history of the owner alive 😢
The son who inherited the house is in prison.

I'm glad to see the beautiful marble walls are not spray painted
It always breaks my heart when the photos are left behind. It's something about leaving the only reminder of that event lost in time that is heart-wrenching to me.
And the poems… I don’t understand how they could have done that.
It's as if time just stopped...it's heartbreaking
Loved the unique beautiful house. I believe it was a grandson living with him since he didn't remarry. Wonderful to hear what he did for the children and young people of S.C. The scholarships and programs still going today. I would love it if someone became aware of it and to purchase and restore it to its former glory. The poems and awards should be precious to the remaining family and pictures too. Thank you for sharing this beautiful house. Looking forward to the FBI one!❤
Yeah it makes me sad that there’s no family member that would want them
I wondered what happened to their home, but I never thought to find out. Mr. Palmer buried my mom and I interacted with his son through boys and girls clubs as a teenager. I went to church with one of his assistants. They did a beautiful job with my mom❤❤❤.
Here's what amazes me about your videos ... Your narrative always borders on poetry. You insights are always compassionate and inquisitive. You always pay tribute to the lives that have passed, both through the house and beyond this realm. You never take anything. Everything is left to posterity, to perhaps help the next explorer unravel the lives that crafted the ruins you explore. You have a great reverence and a passion to know, and to share with all of us. As an explorer myself, I would like nothing more than to join you on one of your expeditions! Thank you for who you are and what you are doing.
Yesss.. thisss 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜
Your comment truly touches the core of why I make these videos. I’m deeply moved by your appreciation of the narrative style I aim for - that poetic touch is something I hold dear, as it helps to convey the deeper emotions and stories behind these places. It’s heartening to hear that the respect and curiosity I feel for these sites resonate with you too. And who knows... maybe one day our paths will cross in the pursuit of uncovering and understanding these stories of the past. Keep exploring, keep questioning, and let's continue to respect and honor the memories of those places and lives we discover. Thank you for being part of this journey and for sharing such thoughtful feedback. It means a lot and motivates me to keep sharing these stories with all of you.
Hi Frank - I hope you don't mind me leaving my comment below yours, for some reason I'm unable to leave my own separate comment. Btw, beautiful comment, deserves to be pinned imho. I missed the live but what an exceptionally well done video you have here, Jeremy. Your narration has an essence to it that I'm not entirely sure I can put into words, but I'll try. The music fits the mood of each room, each floor you explore. I can picture what you're seeing through the words you use to express your thoughts and feelings as you explore the home and tell more of Perry and Grace Palmer's story. I love the way that this home was built and I could picture myself living there - I was born in 1970 so that should explain why. I really like the way it's shaped, inside and out. It's a shame that looters and vandals discovered it and that natural decay has begun to reclaim it's place. It makes me angry and sad to see the incredibly disrespectful things that they've done to the home of such kind, thoughtful, generous people. Broken windows, graffiti, and lots of stolen items hauled off. Even a computer in the pool. I'm so glad that you are nothing like them. You take nothing and you leave it the the way that you found it. May all your travels and explorations be safe ones. Thank you again. As someone else said already, I'm exploring vicariously through you!
I totally agree. Jeremy is the best narrator and story teller I have ever heard. Truly a gift from God. Stay safe Jeremy. Once again really enjoyed your explore.
Frank enjoyed your comment
The architecture of this mansion makes it a complete masterpiece! It was built on such a strong foundation! I would love to see somebody bring it back to life. You did such an amazing job describing the details and bringing out it's natural beauty. I am in awe!
You couldn't live there. The ghosts of the past would always be present . It's not a house to live in anymore. It would never be a home. That time has passed away into the fog of time.
@@jayr4857 Which makes it all the more fascinating to me... Lol
This is better than a Netflix doc
Qual o nome do documentário na Netflix?
It's much more factual with no influence or propaganda like everything on Netflix.
This is the first time I cried through watching an exploration. The emotions of how wonderful this family was and how much they were loved by the people who knew them were so evident!!! Thank you, Jeremy, for showing this home.
The sound of your voice is incredible. Your soft spoken tone and your descriptive narrative is just amazing. Wonderful video.
What a stunningly gorgeous house! So unique and such a shame that it's been left to rot away and been forgotten!
OMG, you didn't mention the sweet puppy dog she is carrying. Adorable🐶
Haha COOKIE!!!!
Hi Jeremy. You never cease to deliver on Every Video !!!! Like no one on KZhead you don't give a tour... You give a very detailed story of what we are seeing. If you ever quit KZhead you would be a Spectacular Story Teller ... Like none before you. Again, Thanks so much for all your hard work. God Bless, and all my best... Jim
Jeremy Xplores would you fufill my suggestion by visiting a abandoned farm house and see if you can find a john deere model a tractor that is good condition please and you are the sweetest kindest most talented artist on earth ♥️♥️
Agreed. He’s one of my favs 💜💜🥰💯 - his voice is perfect 😍
I agree- I love the stories 💕
Wow, your message truly made my day! Thank you so much for the encouraging words and for recognizing the effort that goes into each video (about 3 weeks of editing per video). Storytelling is at the heart of what I do, and I'm glad to hear you enjoy the depth I try to bring to each exploration. Your support means the world to me. Here's to many more adventures!
Well said Jim. I agree, Jeremy brings places and people back to life right before your eyes. I could see and hear the laughter and love that once filled that home.
Im sorry Grace and Perry that they have disrespected your place and Hope you rest in peace.
I don't know if this is true or not but my grandma told me once that building round rooms like this house is because part of one's spiritual belief possibly in the slave area..evil can not linger and hide in corners of a round room. Just a neat and interesting thought I wanted to share with you. Again I have no idea if there is any truth or facts to it but something else to think about. Thank you for you interesting and great videos!
Yes I’ve heard that. I was also thinking that they built that home into that rock they would’ve had to work with the earth. Could be both, even the pool and staircase have no corners. And he worked with the dead so he may have seen spirits in his life both good and bad, or whatever… so interesting!
Thank you. That makes every sense. I just started learning about demons and death. They had to keep a space like that, and no wonder that they've been putting us in boxes since WWII. Demons very much exist.
I too have heard that saying. I believe it’s true.
there is truth to that =) evil lurks in corners yes. this is why when we sage .. cleanse our homes.. we must always go to the corners.. makes sense !
It really makes me wonder where the children are and why the children have let this house get in this condition. I thank you for the wonderful explore and the story of such wonderful people. Thank you...
Dead people.
Dead people.
@@mosspatchouli631someone else said the son was in jail. Don’t know if it’s true. Are you saying all the kids are dead?
At the time of the father’s death, the daughter was married with several children. The son is in prison…don’t know for how long or what for…but in that note he was looking for a gun. Someone else in the comments said that it was the son that inherited the house….so maybe the daughter wasn’t even allowed to try to upkeep it or anything….and that’s sad because she could have then passed it down to her children…it’s on such beautiful land. But I guess the son is to thank for it all rotting away and everything left to get destroyed.
@@nicolaxoxo1. From what another commenter said…the son is the one that inherited the house….don’t know why the father didn’t give equally to the daughter but maybe he had something else he gave her…..and yes the son is in prison or at least was at some point. At the time of the father’s death, the daughter was married with several children…and it’s a shame she couldn’t pass this property down to her children. The son really ruined it by not being around to care for it. There’s nothing online about the children dying…so they are probably still alive.
You know the saddest thing about this house being in the state that it's in. Is that all the contributions that this family made to the community. The community didn't have enough gratitude to have the for thought to preserve this house for future generations to be thankful for. So. That's Gratitude for you.
The furniture in there is incredible rare… that first piece you showed was a rare 1960’s florence knoll credenza made from walnut. Worth thousands if saved. Smh its just sitting & rotting.
It hurts my heart to see these once-beautiful things left to decay, but these videos always remind me, “you can’t take it with you”.
,👍
The son who inherited the house is in prison. An explorer gave out the address and it was vandalized. They threw the furniture in the pool. The pictures before it was vandalized look amazing.
That explorer should have known better. I hate seeing these beautiful home vandalised.
@@MrG77yeah black folks can’t have anything, even in death their stuff is ruined and exploited. Sad.
What’s he in prison for? What about the other child(ren)?
@@KrystalHarrell are you sure ? Everyone has been posting about a son inheriting the house but he is in prison and also a daughter. I think the children were mentioned in this video
@@nicolaxoxo1 I erased my comment. I was incorrect. Brooks was the son…
I live in coastal SC and am surprised the bushes and trees haven’t reclaimed more than it has. Such a shame it was left to rot.
The way you express how amazing the late owner of this magnificant home was honored by so many as well as his wife. I am taken aback why all the organizations he gave millions to, being a black gentleman who was honored by many. The home should have been saved for posterity honoring this great humanitarian. In my eyes he is one of the greatest people that should read as a real part of history.
His son who inherited the house is in prison.
😢
That was not 90’s wallpaper. We had that and it was from the 70’s. Gorgeous!
Looks like a spaceship from the distance
Cool video. As a child of the 70's, I can tell you that the shiny silvered wallpaper is very much from the 70s. So was the woven grass wallpaper in the study where you found the plaque. Our house from the 70s had both of those features.
Thank you for the respect you have for the family that lived in this home. They were beautiful people, that shared their gifts with the community. I am saddened by the vandalism, but you showed the cycle of life continues 💕
Except for when the guy trying to put his foot through the floor. At 10:10.
@@MD-ky4hoyeah I thought that was very disrespectful. The house has been abandoned for 30 years, we don’t need a demonstration of the decay, dude. Tacky af.
YOU DID THIS BEAUTIFULLY! You nailed the storyline documenting his life with nothing but love, respect for him and you nailed the fact of his significant impact to Sumpter SC where my family is from ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ IM NEW here and I couldn’t be more thrilled with you taking the opportunity to do this. thank you.
"the quiet tragedy of abandonment." 😔
I never understand people wrecking and defacing (tagging, etc.) someone’s property, abandoned or not. When I was little, my grandmother used to take my sister and I exploring in old buildings, places we weren’t supposed to be. We’d walk through, making up stories about who may have been there, etc. We never moved, destroyed or took a single thing. This was a unique and special exploration, and I appreciate the care you took presenting it. You honored the family who lived there. Thank you.
We know Mr. Palmer as being a pillar in the black community! I know so many close friends whose family was comforted and buried by Mr. Palmer! Great man! I hurt me to see his mansion being abandoned and squandered! He deserves so much better! His home should be archived and restored! Thank you so much for sharing! I actually had to stop viewing after you showed the garage! I will share your video!
That was so very respectful of you guys, how you handled the photos and belongings of the home, even in the shape it was. God bless you all. 🦋
I love this wonderful home with every fiber of my being. It breaks my heart to see it sitting there when I would love, respect and preserve all the unique aspects this home has. Some people see houses like this and see a rundown, falling apart place, or people like me see nothing but potential and beauty for everything it was, is, and could be again.
It's such a solid structure I would imagine that house is not yet beyond restorable.
I think the same thing. It would take millions of dollars, if only someone with lots of money would be interested 😢
Poor roofing...
@@wmw3629 poor roofing...MEGA water damage...
As you know, location is everything so fixing this up only makes sense if the sales market supports the cost of doing so.
I think this is the first time I've seen your videos. I noticed how right away you have a lot of respect for the people who lived there, so I have a lot of respect for you. I feel like that in many ways when I'm at an estate sale. I have now subscribed to your channel and will be going back to watch all your videos and ones in the future.
I have seen other explorers take us on a tour of this property, but I have never enjoyed the explore as much as this. It means so much more when we know the background and the history of who lived there. Thanks for doing this explore so wonderfully!
Hi Jeremy, so glad you’re back. I loved this tour. So sad though. I feel like the cylindrical walls are indicative of the maze we call life, and kind of an homage to the knowledge that the is no end, just circular. The poem about Grace was so touching and is a reminder that just because someone has passed from this existence, they are never forgotten ❤
This one really stood out. The wonderful backstory, the once gorgeous house, and the heart felt commentary. What an adventure!
This home is amazing, but the family’s history and story is even more impressive. I really appreciate you sharing the history along with the architectural beauty ❤
Reminds us of how life changes so quickly. One day you have a beautiful and rewarding life. The next, you're dead and can't take a thing with you. Live each day like it's your last because it just might be. God bless.
Watching this reminds me that it doesn't matter what we create while we are here, it's all superficial. After death it has no meaning at all, as you say you can't take it with you and it means nothing to anyone else. It only matters to us.
When I helped settle an aunt and uncle's estate I thought how sad. We work for things and most of it eventually ends up in the front 😢 yard for an estate auction.
@@christinazerites3006 I look around at everything I have, everything I have created, the things I like and the things that connect me to my parents who are no longer around and I am saddened because I know one day it will all be thrown out or sold to people who probably don't care that much. I think we are cheated on this planet - life is too short.
I love how you can basically tell the story of a place by the remnants left behind. You are hands down top notch in your field. I look forward to your next video!!
Have to agree with the other comments. No other person doing this is as interesting as Jeremy. The content just keeps getting better and better.
Thank you for not acting like you hold some kind of top secret clearance regarding the locations. I appreciate that you tell us about who it belonged to and your obvious research on the location and the family. It gives more appreciation while watching the video versus not knowing crap about what we are looking at.
Voice is so relaxing. I listen to your videos when I fall asleep then I actually watch it in the morning!
You know, I know you’ve been through a lot of late, I so love your gift of writing. Of expanding upon the lives of the people whose houses you explore. Your tender attention to their details fill my heart. Thank you for your hard work and your sensitive writing, and applying yourself to really understanding the lives of the people whose homes you visit, and then sharing all of that with the rest of us. You are my favorite content, producer! Looking toward the upcoming year, I will pray for many blessings upon you and your family.thank you for your time.
As I have said before , you have a gift of story telling. And not just the research and the production value , but the passion for what you do. The quality is always there. The child like curiosity that I can relate 2. You always seem so emotionally connected to each story but this one you seem so jazzed about. You can see the respect for this family and excitement and appreciation for , what some would say dilapidated trash, you see the potential and the past and the glory of the good old days. Thank you for this content and for always being so respectful and authentic
Your voice is meant for telling these stories. Love how well spoken you are. Wonderful time listening, watching, these abandoned places unfold. Excited to subscribe❤ Thank you for sharing ❤cat x
Nice exploration of an interesting abandoned property. Thanks for taking us there. 👏👏👏😎
I love the quiet, subtle, dreamy music in your videos Jeremy. Nice touch!
It’s so incredibly sad that people can feel the history yet throw rocks to shatter the very windows that showed sunlight into their beautiful home. Your imagination can build it back up in your mind of a home that held years of memories. I truly enjoyed the tour and the fact that you can also imagine happier times in this dwelling. Your narration was so genuine and your words true poetry. Thank you for sharing your experience with me.
This was awesome to watch. Your calm respectul narration and personal thoughts takes it to another level. I don't do explorations like this myself but I totally identify with what you say inside the garage about spending hours going through papers, piecing together clues to get a better understanding of how life was for those living in that place. Abandoned homes are extremely fascinating, but there's always an underlying feeling of intense sadness when thinking about how it used to be someone's home - their place of comfort, joy and security - and now it's just empty, forgotten and slowly rotting away without anyone caring. There are obviously reasons behind why places like this are completely abandoned, but it always feels so hard for me to understand. The amount of personal stuff (like photos, diplomas and letters) left behind doesn't make it any easier to understand either.
I've watched your videos over and over. Nothing beyond compare how you narrate the story behind every abondoned places.
I am from SC, and my mother is from Sumter. I’m sure that this was a beautiful home in its prime and it’s very unfortunate that it has been abandoned. Thanks for this video, very interesting.
This place is extraordinary! And your commentary is spot on. Thanks for sharing!!!
Loved this. The way you narrate the tour we feel like we are there listening to the love and laughter this home encapsulated.
Oh I forgot to tell you I loved the baby frogs ! I used to catch them all the time when I was a kid and I also love to pay attention to the different animals and living things in places or just in nature in general bc everything is so amazing and I think we fail to realize sometimes just how amazing every living thing is. Like how ants,never have traffic jams ,or how a thousand birds fly in sync with one another and same goes for fish in the sea. I think I'm just a weirdo and am amazed at so much in life ,but I think your the only one I've seen that even mentions that and explains about how nature always finds away to take their claim back on what once was claimed by people.thank you again.i am in awe over you and the way you share abandoned places with us .
Hi from London, Jeremy. Always enjoy watching your videos 😊. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for the shout-out from London! I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying the videos. Your support means a lot to me, and it's what keeps me motivated to continue creating and sharing these explorations. Stay tuned for more adventures, and thanks again for watching!
Hands down the best explore channel. Always great to hear some history on the places you find
I know that house. I helped my uncles build that house in the 70s.
You did a good job
Nothing about this property is "retro", as retro is an imitation of past design. This amazing property is as authentic 1970s as it gets. Maybe "vintage" would be a more accurate way to describe it, and its features... Either way, thank you for sharing it with us! If I had the money, I'd buy and renovate every inch of it, and bring it back to its glory days. It's too special to waste away.
Edmund Perry Brooks died in 2010, his Son Brooks Naudin & Daughter Ema Pinn Palmer are on the funeral home sight they owned. It's sad they didn't get their stuff out.
Sad they let their home fall into ruin.
why is the reason to left behind all their father's documents? I don't understand, maybe his son is now in jail yet? daughter's Perry Brooks is now in charge of two funeral home.
@@teinvitouncafecitodekellys5894 I was just reading above that the son who inherited it is in prison, and that a previous explorer gave out the address which resulted in the home being vandalized.

Seriously some of the best cinematic scenes I’ve seen from abandoned places. Great work and great mindset when exploring. Love that how you appreciate the true beauty and history of these places.
I love the appreciation for the life that lived there before as well as the calmness of the video
Excellent video and Story as usual. I'm very glad I was able to catch it today.
absolutely phenomenal video .. beautifully produced.. beautifully spoken.. very gracious and respectful..
Hi Jeremy, I just discovered your site and have to say I love what you do. You give such good commentary as you go thru the houses, and I love the respect and reverence you show, to the house, but also to the families and their history there. Thank you so much. I look forward to watching more of the places you’ve gone to.
Wowza!! You are so freakin’ good at this. You capture all of this in such a unique way which makes your videos superb. The angles, the in-depth details about what it is you’re looking at, the passion and compassion in your voice. It’s really your canvass and its amazing. I never wanted a complete stranger to succeed as much as I want you to. I don’t have any preconceived notion of what that is. Only, the vision you have for yourself is where I hope this takes you. I’m going to pass some words onto you that I wish I knew as a young artist before I walked away from it. If it resonates, great and if doesn’t that’s OK too. There are two sides to this. The one side where you are vulnerable while creating. It’s coming out of you from a vision and given to us as a gift. The other side is the cut throat nature of the biz where you are required to have ‘thick skin’ as they say. It’s counter intuitive and usually difficult to have both exist in the same place. There are many that will have input into what you are creating. Some good, some not so good and more often absolutely brutal. Keeping in your minds eye about what it is YOU want is essential so resentment doesn’t build because it will effect everything you create if you let it. How to do that? My 2 cents… first, it doesn’t matter what anyone else says about what is ‘best’ for you. Only you know that. It’s maintaining that self awareness that you are very familiar with. It boils down to self care. Whatever that self care looks like for you. Use it. Always. And boundaries regardless of who you are talking to...family, friends, acquaintances, strangers… It’s your world. Now, you get to paint it. Safe travels, always. -Michelle
Your words have truly moved me. It's messages like yours that remind me why I do what I do. The thought, depth, and sincerity you've put into your comment resonate deeply with me. The journey of creating and sharing is indeed one of vulnerability- it's like putting pieces of your soul out there for the world to see. And you're right, it does feel like giving a piece of myself away, but in the most fulfilling way. Yet, as you so accurately pointed out, this world can sometimes demand a toughness, a 'thick skin,' that seems at odds with the artist's spirit. Navigating this dichotomy is an ongoing challenge, but your insights shine a light on the path. Your advice, coming from a place of experience and heart, is a treasure. It's a poignant reminder that amidst the noise and the critiques, staying true to oneself, to that inner vision, is paramount. The balance of maintaining self-awareness, practicing self-care, and setting boundaries is indeed the key to not only surviving but thriving in this space. Your wisdom on balancing vulnerability with resilience, on staying grounded in one’s own truth and vision, is invaluable, Michelle. I will carry your words with me as both a shield and a guiding star as I continue on this journey. Thank you for your belief, your encouragement, and your profound insights. Here's to painting our worlds with the vibrant colors of authenticity and courage. Safe travels to you too, always.
@@JeremyXplores Coming to your channel for a momentary great escape. Just a perspective that the opposite of resilient is not weakness. It's rather a normal human moment which we all have. I'm in the middle of moving now and have had many moments which is why we have go to's like this channel for that break from the madness. Self care. I hope you are doing well in your transition. Took some big kahunas to do go out to LA.
this is one of the coolest house I've ever seen. Mr Perry and his architect designed this and the incredible concrete features. truly a wonderful place with so many features to mimick Frank Lloyd Wright designs from several of his homes. this home was of the highest quality money could buy. sadly family had some issues but the family business is still run by the perry's family. fucking great video and your cameraman is killer!! cheers
Name 2 FLW features.
It's repugnant, waste of money.
@@WinterInTheForest tastes very I understand that but if you had the money wouldn't you like to leave something spectacular as your legacy or have something outstanding for your kids to take me to be proud of I guess not that's a shame but everybody has their you know likes and dislikes. This to me is something extraordinary. And sadly Perry son had problems and the house was left to fall into disrepair and it's just a tragedy. It would probably be better if you kept such negative feelings to yourself so you don't infect anyone else
@@gregoryfranks7347 Sure taste is subjective. This is one of the ugliest homes I've ever seen, especially with the extravagant cost. Sorry for any negative feewings. Perhaps the son being in prison despite inheriting such wealth suggests poor genetics. As a result the only legacy left behind is a rotting mansion of ill design which nature is determined erase.
@@WinterInTheForestPoor genetics? Now why would you go down that route…..
Hey Jeremy. You do such quality content, and your narration is so articulate. Great episode, location is unreal. Your ability to bring these people to life for us, blows me away. It was cool to see your friends join you, and her reading of the 1984 condolence card was a great keep in the video, it was amazing it had survived. Thank you, sincerely, for sharing yourself with all of us.
Jeremy, your explores are always of such high quality, so heartfelt for the families and architecturally appreciative too. I also loved that the swimming pool has transformed itself into a pond and habitat for bullfrogs. It really brings an added sense of peace, in spite of the surrounding sadness and decay. 💗
Jeremy, just another amazing story and Explore! I appreciate all the time, amazing footage and narration of the story you continue to provide!! Thanks again for allowing us to share in the Xplore and enjoy the forgotten places you visit! Always watching, Michelle
I wonder why the children never collected the cards and the especially the poem.?
I can't wait for this exploration !! This I have a feeling is going to be awesome !! It looks like a great find !!
WOW!! What a house!! Sounds like a lovely family too. Beautifully unique home! The architecture was one of a kind. Thank you Jeremy!
Came back to see this a second time and to just say how touched I was by your care. The music was so touching and right on spot for this story 😢 The very best video I ever saw of explorations like this!!! Thank you.
Its cool to see and sad at same time to see these places in decay
Wow. This is a stunning video! I’ve just come across your work and it’s just amazing. The story-telling, documentary style approach works beautifully, with the added aspects of narration and music paint a picture in imagery. Your approach is sympathetic and empathetic, whilst being respectful of your surroundings. You’ve clearly put a great deal of time into your work, researching and framing these peoples lives. His would not be out of place on the discovery channel. It’s that good. Well done from Scotland.
I really appreciated the compassionate approach you took to exploring this abandoned home and the wild life outside. Subscribed.
I love watching your videos. You always do a great job of giving info and details of the people who once lived there. And that makes the video even more interesting. Thank you!
The "Flintstone Mansion". This home was built in the 70's by a funeral home owner for his wife, who passed away shortly after. He died in 2010, and the property was handed down to his son, who is now in prison. It has sat abandoned since to fall into disrepair and vandalism.
why is the reason his son is now in prison?
So pleased there's another explore 😊😊
Soothing...💖 Thank you, Jeremy.
I came across your video and I now changed my algorithm after liking and subscribing to your video 😂 I appreciate the time and effort you take in sharing your explorations and researching the history of very special people who deserves to be recognized for their service in the community. And I commend your excellent Narration. Keep up the great work!
The son Brooks ended up in Prison?!? His accomplishments were incredible, especially his philanthropy! I don’t understand why this beautiful house would be abandoned to rot like this..his kids are younger than me, but in their 50’s..I just can’t imagine what could have happened.
How heartbreaking for all the awards, and goodness of this family, that such an amazing home, and property was just left behind to rot. What happened here that nobody felt it was worth doing something with. Donate it to one of the charities they helped to utilize someway, or something.
I was just reading above that the son who inherited it is in prison, and that a previous explorer gave out the address which resulted in the home being vandalized.
That was so heart felt. You sir , are a kind human. Keep being you. 💓
Your the second explorer I've watch do this property. I really like the deep dive on info, the mix of the audio of the video and narration thrown in. good job.
It must have been such a beautiful home. Thanks for sharing Jeremy ❤
What an interesting place. What a beautiful loving and giving family! It always breaks my heart and makes me angry to see how people show no respect and vandalize these homes. Thank you for these videos and your respect in each of your videos.
Well said, we love the stories and his voice telling the story is a fantastic combination. It's so so sad to see this amazing home so destroyed, but it's amazing seeing mother nature making it look better. Thank you so much for making these videos, we truly love watching them. Your CT & Maine fans
Wow, what an amazing intro with the history and background. Gave me chills. The writing and voiceovers just give an entire different dimension to the videos. Spectacular work.
Such a shame . I simply can't fathom why people feel the need to destroy things. Whoever did should be ashamed of themselves . They have gone out of their way ( this place is not exactly near a town by the looks of things) to get there and then destroy whateve they could . I also wonder why this place has not been scooped up and redone. Even though it would be a huge undertaking it has so much originality I believe it would be fantastic for someone with lots of bucks to do it back to its original beauty.
Its personality and history might actually be going against it in a way, but i agree it would make a lovely home as opposed to many of the soulless celeb mansions you see everywhere
This place was really cool. Ive missed you. Im glad to see you back. I so love youre videos. You are always respectful and bring the sites to life. Youre narration is spellbinding. I love your voice. Its smooth and captivating. Keep doing what you're doing cuz you're damn good at it Yvonne
This was my 1st video I stumble into by chance. Very 1st thing that became evident ro me Jeremy was the absolute level of care and respect you have for the families that created their
Thank you for the video, your story telling takes these abandoned properties to another level. Keep up the great work.
Jeremy you are very poetic and romantic at explaining things. You have a soothing voice. Thank you for the adventures. God bless❤
Where are his kids today? Just realized that he was born on my birthday. His, and his wife's obituaries were quite beautiful.
The son who inherited the house is in prison.
@@chawkins1963 Oh wow, not good. Thanks for the info.
Where is the daughter.
@@chawkins1963for what? What about the daughter? Were there grandkids? Surely he could have rented it out to have money to maintain it…..unless he wants it to rot
Where did you find the obits? We’d love to read them
Awesome account of exploration! Love your soothing voice! This place needs to be restored!!!!
Nice to see you again!!! This is so so good!! Thank you!! ❤❤❤
Great narration, camerawork and subjects! Love your explore! PS Hi to the dog in the bag😊
Amazing mansion... thanks Jeremy
I'm normally kind of skeeved out by old houses, but seeing you three (and the pup!) go through this house and point out the unique architecture; the vision; and the lives of the people who built the house, really changed my thoughts about it. Beautiful narrative!
