Abandoned house in the woods with old cars

Always focus on the calendar on the wall of the old house. It usual tells how long it's been abondoned.

How Sad! This was once a very beautiful home and it makes you wonder about it's history ! Actually that would make a wonderful series on the history channel ! I would love to watch it ,anyone else ???

So sad. This was a beautiful unique home. I would love to see it restored.

I wish all these old houses came with a history printed in a paragraph so that we could all know what happened to the people who owned these abandoned homes and exactly why they had to abandon them.

Ugh how I'd LOVE to snoop through all of that vintage stuff. I smiled when I saw the fridge lmao

Purkz: Like the other guys, I just want to congratulate you on this video! I'm a camera guy and editor and just by accident stumbled upon your piece. I can see why well over a half million people have view the abandoned house! Excellent shots all around and bits and pieces that raise a lot of interest in who lived there and what they might have been doing. Keep up the great work! Burt

So sad, to see all these things that belonged to someone who died long time ago. I'm not an emotional guy, but watching this video I experienced a painful feeling of loss, thought of my long gone grandparents.

I GREW UP RIDING MY DIRT BIKE ON THOSE TRAIN TRACKS BY THAT HOUSE,I REMEMBER WHEN FOLKS LIVED THERE

Credit to the person who made this wonderful video with just the camera and the horse, unlike all the others with click bait titles and we saw/ heard a ghost. This is genuine and we need more content creators like you on YouTube. Thank you

This was amazing! Makes you wonder where the past owners went? Why everything was left there the way it was? In a way just kind of scary. Thank you for this.

Man! So many decades have gone by. I can feel laughter of better days running up the old stairs. I sense the sorrow of a broken heart behind the walls. Children were born here bringing joy. People also died here unleashing a sadness that never went away. Life! That’s all that is represented here, let’s be happy that it happened here. Nicely made video, by the way.

Wow, I would love to see what that house looked like in its prime. It must have been beautiful.

This is the Winderbourne Mansion. It was built in 1884 by Enoch and Mary Totten. He was a prominent Washington lawyer and Civil War veteran, shot four times at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House. (A minie ball passed through his right hand after ricocheting off his saber.) Mary's father was Timothy Howe, a senator from Wisconsin and the cousin and heir of Elias Howe, who perfected the sewing machine. All three of the Tottens’ children caught typhoid fever; contracted, it was believed, from tainted drinking water at Winderbourne. One died. A Totten daughter, Edith Totten, became a doctor and adopted a daughter of her own. This child was killed after sliding down — and, presumably, flying off — the long bannister at Winderbourne. Edith herself dropped dead at age 48 after delivering a lecture at Johns Hopkins University. Edward Pickrell Jr., inherited Winderbourne and stayed there until his death in 2004. Paxton Pickrell (now in his 70's) is the current owner. It has an offer pending on Zillow for $875,000. 15001 Barnesville Rd, Boyds, MD 20841. The legal description says "FRIEND IN NEED HARD STRUGGLE" whatever that means.

Wouldn't it be great to have the money to rescue an old beauty like this? I see all the rich people with their mini mansions all clustered together...just building more and more every day. If I were rich I would rather buy a very rural old home and restore it.

This made me sad....this house is full of sweet memories and now it is abandoned....

It’s so sad how such a formerly beautiful home could be just abandoned and left in such a state! 😢

This if probably one of the best videos I have seen on abandoned homes.  The house must have been magnificent in it's day.  I love the porches and decks.  I can't imagine the house is salvageable at all.  Thank you Purkz.

that house must have looked amazing back in the day

Who else feels sad after watch this..

I loved this video. Smooth and creative camera work with an inspiring, uplifting musical score allows my mind to fill in the blanks and relive the lives of the house’s inhabitants. Much better than our mental process being framed by a guide’s confining, repetitive remarks. I felt like the spirit of the people who lived there, swishing around from room to room, taking a loving look around the old cars I worked on, running up the stairs as children, and finally riding and getting an appreciative overview of the house, the property, the land. Just a wonderful wonderful experience. Thank you so much for creating this piece of art and for sharing it with us. Amazing!
