I love how he’s so respectful to everything around him
James
Being on video plays a huge part in that. None of us know what these explorers do when they aren't filming.
Kyle Smith ye true but sometimes they pass by it again even when they’re leaving and it’s fine
@@seanwade7240 I've noticed that but again the camera is rolling. There's also hours of footage edited out of these videos. I know I would be taking stuff out but that because I want to save it from being destroyed.
Just wanted to say that God loves you and he is always with you. Your made in his image and are loved deeply. You have a purpose and are worth it. He wants a relationship with YOU!! he is with you through whatever trial you are going through. He died on the cross for you so that is proof you can get through this trial/hardship. Have a blessed day/night my friend:)
Sometimes I wonder if the people who once lived in that abandon house watch Josh and say: "That's my house!"
Ogono Art Family I wonder the same thing. If they are watching, I hope they’ll speak up and tell us more!🙂 So interesting 🤔🧐
I grew up in this town.
@@Catskill_Cryptid really?
My dad own the dinner
Best Comment Ever💞💞💞
I like how you actually talk about the history behind things rather than just going there for a video
I used to drive through this town all the time when I was a kid. My dad actually lived not that far from that diner and we had dinner there a few times. Part of the reason that the town is so ghostly, is the fact that a highway was built through it. Ever since then, things changed and it is sad to see. That church they see in this video , is one that my grandma attended many years ago. I appreciate the fact that he and his crew are being respectful but make the video great to watch
Abandoned towns are always fascinating to me since they seem so common in america and pretty much unheard of where i am from
KiesgrubenNessi same, and since I live in Brooklyn, idk if there even any abandoned places near me to visit...... which sucks........🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😭😭😭😭😭
in california you can literally just drive and find one pretty much
nice u got a ❤ from josh
@@dariyabadra9804 look up letchworth insane asylum. It's a little bit of a ride but it's a good place to explore. I'm in westchester ny
Its sad tbh. After people leave a place we kinda just leave it there to rot and build somewhere new. Atleast nature will eventually take it back over.
I always find these places so sad. Imagine the memories that were lost here.
Memories remain. Place memory ;)
Nothing lasts forever. Someday people will be looking at our artifacts and wondering what kind of people lived here.
Very Beautiful Sentiment.💗
I'm from Parksville and it was always a small town. But when they rerouted the highway it became a true ghost town. The Best western (hotel) closed before the highway was built probably has been abandoned for over 25 years now. My daughter and I went there last summer and the place is so destroyed. Now the only people that go there are explorer's. And those how live there which is like a handful.
Parksville isn't completely abandoned. Lots of people live here, we just don't have a booming business community here and that's ok. 😁 Great film done by respectful young adults exploring a few buildings my husband and I haven't gone to yet, lol. Nice job guys 👍
Praying for it to bloom again.
@@teamdeleon6125 I'd be more than happy to move to this town if I was going to move to USA. Its peaceful and less than a mile from a highway is like next door compared to UK lol
Did people really leave bc of commerce? So much stuff left behind. It looks more like people were evacuated
@@karagraham9764 Most of these are summer homes. When the elder passes away the family doesn't come clean up and let it go to foreclosure. They sadly don't care. This is only a few places. Parksville is a beautiful town. Most of Sullivan County towns have abandoned buildings just like this :)
I passed by this town so many times when going to and home from college. Too bad we never stopped here for a break or fill-up and sad to see it in this condition.
Why no one live there anymore?
Following
Stop in. We are here!! Lol.
@@bethjohnston-groth4925 oh that's creepy actually
@@daddysenpai408 lol. It doesn't all look like that...well its a quiet town so the roads are empty. But it beats traffic!
it always blows my mind that as im sitting here typing this, all of this exists and is just sitting there, waiting for its next visitors in silence.
So what's your excuse? Get off your ass, be the visitor.
@@dangalf84 no f*cking money
danUFCscape exactly my mindset every time I watch his videos
@@dangalf84 yeah he will when you do it first.
@@dangalf84 leave him alone and quit being mean to him
I grew up in Liberty, NY and remember Parksville well. I remember going to Fiddle's for ice cream as a treat. I worked at the Arrowhead Dude Ranch and had many friends that worked at the Paramount. I was blessed to grow up when all the hotels were still booming!
The blessing jar was actually so sad... I hope those people recovered and found peace within themselves
Don't tell anyone but you're my favorite abandoned explorer, I like how you respect the abandoned places you visit and not destroy whatever you can find, not a lot of 'explorers' do that clearly judging by the way some of the places look in some of your videos, but, I love your videos man and the way you do them with the back stories at the beginning. It really helps me visualize exactly how long the stuff you find in your videos have been frozen in time for. Keep up the awesome videos my dude!
Aww thanks bro !!!
GuitarGuy I agree I only watch his videos for those exact reasons
Hey, This is Jim and Eva from J&E Adventures. Want to say thank you for the shout out. That really means alot. But, Something that we have to make clear. The spray painted tag was not done by us. Whether it was some one being a jackass or a minor stalker. We dont know. We follow the 3 main rules of urbex. 1) Take nothing but pictures 2) Leave nothing but foot prints 3) And break nothing but silence. But again, Thanks for the shout out.. Ok. The other stuff. The Day Top Rehab. The building on the left as you walk up the driveway. That was living quarters. There was some one squatting in there while we were there. We could hear them run across the first floor when we were on the second floor. And the big building across the road with the pool. That was a rec hall.. Alot of cool stuff was in there. Pool table and such.. Other than that. You went to all the same places that we did.. Nice job as always.. Thanks again
U did that and u did everything in red paint also, cause u wrote it in .....red paint...that's how it works..
Sorry to burst your bubble.. but no, we dident.. we by far are not goofy teens.. Im almost 50 and my wife is 44.. we have much more things on our mind than juvenile things..
Tmac Kjr
J&E are actually my parents and I’ll tell you one thing; they raised me to be respectful of my environment around me, whether natural or in an urbex surrounding. We have gone on urbex adventures together for years, and even before they started their CZcams channel, they still followed the urbex rules. If they raised me to be respectful and to follow the rules, why would they do the complete opposite? Most people in the urbex community know the rules and unfortunately find ways to sabotage people that they see as competition or enemies. It sounds a bit dramatic, I know, but it’s happened to several urbex channels. Once someone catches wind of a “rule breaker”, suddenly they become the assholes of the urbex community and it can effect the growth of their channel. I know it seems biased, considering they are my parents, but they are outstanding people who live up to the rules of urbex.
Also, take a shot every time I say respectful, urbex or rules 😂
Do you guys have a video of your exploration in this town? I looked through a bit of your channel, but didn't see anything. I really enjoyed seeing this whole town and would like to see it from your view as well
@@TheOGNoName hey.. we have some of the town in pics.. havent posted those yet.. but look for best western hotel and day top rehab.. the rehab is the same place that josh did.. but ours is more indepth
Out of all the youtubers I watch and found in the last 5-6 years, Josh seems like one of the most genuine ones. I love his curiosity, his appreciation and respect for everything.
Me too. I really enjoy Josh’s channel and another CZcamsr named Mobile Instinct. Really awesome content.
I grew up here.... spent my childhood at that hotel. My mother and father both worked there. It is a trip seeing that place like that... fiddles had some of the best ice cream and hot dogs in all of New York. Thanks for sharing this
People need to actually pay attention to the town instead of just spraying graffiti all over it.
Some kids/teens don't care about history
I absolutely agree with you. Like there's places where graffiti can be admired and such, but just raiding abandoned places with satanic symbols and random graffiti is just absolute nonsense. It takes away from the almost "time travel" vibes you can get when exploring old abandoned places.
@@ayvafoust9257 more like crackheads and hobos instead of kids.
Nobody:
Josh, in almost every abandoned place ever in existence: it’s like Silent Hill
This is the real silent hill that the movie was made after. I live 5-10 minutes away from it.
DJ Con 420 it’s actually not the real silent hill is centralia Pennsylvania look up the history
Yes i realised that after I watched more of the video i apologize for the false information
@@djcon4208 exploring with josh has 3 videos on it on his channel
@@djcon4208 It's not really false info, it's just a mistake.
Hey guys, it's so crazy seeing my old home like that. It truly was an amazing place to live. Seeing that place brought back so many memories. Thanks for the video. It's Branden one of 5 that lived there.
Olsen Viking are you being serious if so 👀❤️
@@marleyrose1605 yeah I'm serious. Lol
@Olsen Viking (Branden) how long has your old home been abandoned? Tell us more about your house and the town.
@@holdthewinds We left in 2005, reason being is the owner of that hotel, Fred, was also the land lord of that home. The hotel had a kitchen fire and he tried to rebuild, hence why it was being restored. But he ended up selling the hotel and moved to Florida and the new owners didn't want to rent the house out. So we ended up having to move. But that house sat on 254 Acres or so of land. And acually was haunted! But not in a bad way. Two elderly people lived there and died in that house. The old man in the red room which was the kitchen and the elder lady in that room with the table and chair, with the wall paint chipping. Which was the laundry room. You would hear foot steps going up and down the wood steps at night. See glowing white orbs go in and out of rooms. But the feeling you got when you seen this was warm and comforting. Fiddlers was a hot spot for teens to hang out. Right behind fiddlers was an amazing pizza parlor. Awsome wings and pizza. When I lived there it was still alive but not much went on in that town. But one cool fact is that Ron Jeremy, "porn star" acually worked at that hotel. And just so everyone knows we did not leave that home with all that trash laying about, yes few things but not the condition it is now.
Olsen Viking wow thanks for giving the history of your place. I bet seeing the house brought back a lot of memories. It’s so interesting but kind of sad. I have a similar story. We used to live in an old farmhouse on about 11 acres. House was also haunted, but I never could find out exactly what happened. Same thing, it wasn’t scary or evil type activity. I wasn’t afraid to be there or anything. Our landlord ended up selling the property to a landfill down the road. The landfill only wanted the land in back of the house which was just fields so they could expand. They let us stay another year and then we had to move out. The house sits abandoned. I actually only live a few miles away and drive by the house on my way to my sisters. I’ve actually gone back 2 or 3 times, to see the condition. The last time I went back there a huge sectional on the first floor that wasn’t ours so people have clearly been in the house. I don’t think I’ll ever go back again because of that. So sad to just see it rotting away. I had a lot of good times there. I am also 1 of 5 lol!
Thanks again for sharing, I love stuff like this.
Memories was a store that sold memorabilia type things. Daytop was a drug rehab facility. Parksville isn't completely abandoned, but it certainly has suffered over the years. I lived not too far from here as a kid.
"I'm gonna go in the basement"
*famous last words*
"You are safe now" We'll see about that
When you showed footage of the pharmacy, there was a bottle on the shelf labeled Rautrax. I looked it up and it was apart of a study between the 1950’s-1970’s where 28 patients were treated. It didn’t say what they were treated for or what it was doing in a random pharmacy in the middle of nowhere🧐
It looks like blood pressure medication
It is high blood pressure medication, all the ingredients are for high blood pressure
I stumbled upon a town similar to this one in upstate NY. It was close to the canadian border. The town died when the lumber mill and electricity shut down. 2 churches, a huge hotel, post office and at least 80 cabin & vacation homes. All just sitting there. Some were converted into hunting camps. This place reminds me of that town.
12:24 the flame means it's a united methodist church
Beat me to it lol.
The three flames stand for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost...
Yes but people mainly see the flames and think "oh that's United Methodist"
It is a United Methodist church. Just commenting on what the symbolism means. Lifetime Methodist, lol
Yes that's Methodist Church there's Methodist Church in Philippines too
Josh i miss your old crew. I miss the mini vlogs before that were so interesting hope to see you guys all together
Edwin Urena lmao
Edwin Urena LOL
That’s creepy I went through that town in the 60’s and it was operating people about business open I wonder when it went abandoned.
Makes you think how paranoid those ghost hunters are. See josh in his exploring just chilling, vlogging while those paranormal researchers make ghost outta every noise they hear.
You should come to my grandad's truck, tractor and buss graveyard in the forest next to his farm in the swedish northern forest.
Even I go to explore there, it's insane.
Seeing nature take over is so crazy, the old trucks has been standing so long the tires are sunken down into the ground and there's a truck with trees growing from it's wooden trailer.
It's so quiet and peaceful there only you in the forest surrounded by vehicles that used to help the economy.
Where is it exactly??
@@Kid98. private property if Josh would ever visit I'd have to ask for permission 😅
But yeah Västernorrland Sweden to put a region on the map 🤔
@@VichyGlitterGun Wow that's cool. I'll try telling Josh on Instagram privatr chat haha😁.
Oh and by the way, you got a great channel.
@@Kid98. oh wow that's dope!
It is like I said my grandfather's land, he owns a forest and a huge farm his uncle built.
There are sheds and old buildings but I'm not sure he would allow all to be filmed, there's a barn filled with stuff and even cars from the 60s, there are two busses beautifully abandoned, there is a shed in the forest with horse carriages from his parents.
This is on his land, like outside my house, well I moved but my dad still lives there for now haha there is two liveable houses on the farm land if that makes sense.
But anyway in the forest were he dumped cars and trucks everywhere is the good stuff, there's even an old tractor like super old, the trucks has to be like maybe 70-80s time there are old cars and scap metal everywhere.
On the other side of the main road there's a lake and my grandad had a cabin and own part of the land where we created a swimming area. The cabin is basically abandoned, a few years ago it stood completely untouched but since two years it's been used during summer again so it was cleaned a shame for explorers haha but anyway no one has been allowed to film there so Josh would be the first if my grandfather would agree but since he loves his scrap perhaps he would like to know poeple can admire his hoarding lol
Sorry for the essay but I feel like my old house is a explorer haven it just has never been explored 😂
Oh there's also an old military bike and bicycles.
He used to have a bus that was from the 30s but he sold it since he couldn't upkeep it it was a gem 😔
Threre is so many cool places in sweden.. Like all the asylums and old jails 😍
There is a asylum in rochester ny that is built like a skyscraper that you,should explore
YES, That place looks sooo cool!
Isn't that the one located in Victor ny
Jeremy Green naw, the Terrance building is like just outside the city in Brighton/Henrietta. But it’s got patrols from the u of r for security. Was a psych center, my mom had worked at.
@@WenchNightKIshi Yeah i had to look it up myself because i were thinking i'd come across something that looked like the asylum from the house on haunted hill remake but sadly no, and yep you must be talking about the Terrance Tower. Place has quite an interesting history.
Ah ok.. I thought maybe it was the one in victor it sits way up on a hill kinda near eastview mall I herd that was a Abandoned insane asylum not sure if that is true or not but it definitely looks creepy sitting up there
So sad to see towns deserted when there are so many homeless these towns could be a wonderful community for many
Amazing! When I first started following your channel a few years back, you only had about 30,000 subs. See where all the hard work, focus, positive attitude and rising above all the negative people gets you? What an achievement! Well done Josh!!! 👍
This town is about 20 minutes from me. Each time I drive through it gives me chills. The reason for it being abandoned is that the highway that is next to the town State Highway 17, once brought immense commerce to the town. Now State Highway 17 is on its way to become an interstate and Parksville was cut off as a result.
The problem is these business relies visibility from passer by to get business, with the new freeway bypass, despite having near direct exit, they are tucked inside virtually invisible, they made no effort or they lack resources to promote themselves. To make things worse, stiff competition from the nearby towns along the 17 such as Liberty.
Sorry to tell you, but you both are wrong......The town was abandoned because of the ongoing coal fires burning in the mine beneath the town and it just became too toxic for people to live there anymore. If you don't believe me, just look it up, it's well documented. I hope this helps you both understand the plight these people went through that lived there and hopefully you both will not post comments on subject matter you know nothing about, or at least you won't make up something especially when you both knew nothing about what really happened............
Just because you live 20 minutes from there doesn't mean you know the reason the town was abandoned, because I'm sorry to tell you, but once again you are wrong, just do some research and you'll see, as I said, it's because of the coal fires 🔥 that to this day are still burning in the mines under the town. So please, stop giving the wrong reasons for the towns abandonment.
@@Red196930 how can something keep burning sooooo damn long?
Michael L because it is a coal mine underneath, coal is all underneath the ground if it catches fire it continues to burn it does not burn like wood
I wish I would've known you were in this area. I used to work at Fiddles Dari King 20 years ago. It was a very busy place many years ago, when they made the highway everything went downhill. Very sad to see.
I lived in that town for 35+ years! Its sad what happened to it after they moved the highway, that one move killed that entire town! Had a lot of fun there growing up!
..."Tiger knick-knack" at 6 minutes is a lion's head.
Josh that cross and red like flames is a symbol for a Methodist Church.
Thank you so much. I am a Methodist and my dad is a Methodist preacher.

I think he thinks decay is spelt DK
Squicx yall leave Josh alone
Яed “STAIYBILETY”
I for one, have no idear what you're getting at.
The red & white building is actually called Fiddle’s. It was an old ice cream stand. They just recently had to leave thanks to the highway going right over it. I am a local and have always gone since I was a kid. They had the ABSOLUTE BEST ice cream around. Now there aren’t many places that have good quality ice cream like they did. Blue Goo was what is called a “flavor burst” ice cream. And my little brother & I’s favorite! Tasted like cotton candy lol. Look it up sometime! It’s really surprising all the flavors they actually made lol. But thank you for doing this. Not many people even know about Parksville unless they’re local
for the people asking what happened: this town was actually SUPER popular when i was younger. it was basically the highway for the county. then, they started building the new state highway straight through Parksville which ultimately led to it being abandoned. There’s still a gas station and restaurant that are still open here!! it’s not completely abandoned lol. if you have any questions drop them below!! i don’t live too far from here so ik a lot
Lil Sammy T true I seen an episode on bates hotel (based on true story last holiday)we’re the mom had to take the council to court on making of the states highway tho it came down to a petition( as aussies call them paper with signatures on them 👍quick stence short it got over ruled an now a one horse town lol
Do you have a Boyfriend?
Crispy Beats yessir
I’d love to come check this town out sometime. I’m from Maine.
Do you know what the last building they explored was? Was it a community for recovering addicts?
The music you add in the background makes it even more magical and ominous.
It is actually music from Silent Hill games, I love that old franchise, used to be a kid when the first game came out in 99, I first finished the first game in 2008 being through a depression. The franchise and above all the music cured me from that depression. Peaceful.
12:35 that cross with the flame behind it means that the church was a United Methodist Church (UMC). I grew up attending, and still attend, a UMC church in Indiana.
I'm in UMC Philippines
UMC Texas
I grew up in Parksville. Like on the other side of the hill from that hotel. The "in and out diner" was actually a very famous ice cream stand called Fiddles. I used to go there all the time as a kid. And yes, the blue goo flavor was delicious. Breaks my heart what it has become. As others have said, that last building we a rehab facility. Up until a year ago one of the county's most popular restaurants was right down the road from the main intersection, but the couple who ran it retired. The town is hardly abandoned.
This channel is literally one of the only channels that you actually see how dedicated they are to what they do, I see you guys! Keep it up❤️
23:11 looks like someone's looking through the window my heart dropped when i saw it 😭
i think its some sort of vase but in the shadow looks like a head and neck
Yeah someone is standing.
It disappear like fuck
20:30 It's chilling how time has stood still.
I'm so glad you clarified that no all Ghost Towns are abandoned completely. Here in Idaho we have a few Ghost Towns that are inhabited, but since there's not many people left in them they're considered Ghost Towns. They were more popular in the Gold Rush Era, but soon they started dwindling and are more tourist locations than anything.
So many people think Ghost Towns have to be completely abandoned or it's not a real Ghost Town.
If anyone wanted to know the location, they’re at Parksville, NY. The house they visited at the beginning is 62 Tanzman Road, Liberty, NY. You’re welcome^
Lame.
@@everyhumandies aww thank you! 🥺
Not lame
most people around Josh`s age are glued to their phones but Josh.... no Josh is out there enjoying and savouring his life and uncovering Americas abandoned locations and i also love how respectful he is towards history keep up the good exploring Josh
Hey Josh me and my son love your videos . Also hello from Northern Ontario Canada. My son can't get enough of your videos he been so intrusted into your videos too the point he watch each video each night before bed. Take care Josh , safe travels .
First time watching you. I really love how you view everything with respect and wonder. You’re how urban explorers should be. Take nothing and only leave footprints. You’re outlook and tone. You love these places and it shows
Okay, I usually kind of roll my eyes at the intros of some of these 'spooky' ones, but this one struck such a major chord of nostalgia. Nice!
Never heard anyone refer to an attic as a “storage device” before. Now I have 5:07
Right 😂
That confused me for a moment. 😂 As he panned into the room I was like oh Storage room or Attic. 😂😂😂
That’s funny 😄
I was like whaat? He’s thinking about electronics 🙃
Split raven Me tooo! 😂 I was expecting a server room or hard drives.
"A tiger knick knack" Josh buddy I think you're getting your big cats a bit mixed up there
Happy Beebo 😂😂😂😂
It’s a lion
Clearly a lion
josh thx your music i love them so much and your adventure its so much of history i can feel like im going back in time
Its cool that yall give a little of the history behind these places/buildings. Awesome video!
It's like going on adventures with the explorers but not leaving home .
Ur that lazy ud rather give ur life up instead of getting out into the life you was born into it and do it urself? That's pretty pathetic
@@ashtonmitch9969 ? No ... I dont have the priviledge to go anywhere to do this type of thing . I am not lazy . Nothing around me . They tore a place down before I could even get the chance to go explore. It was an old hospital
And if u got caught on the property. Guard dogs and jail time.. that's your opinion . I dont see u going out to explore .except sitting at your device typing this . U dont know me so u can say anything bad about me
@@ashtonmitch9969 That's rude and close-minded. Some people don't explore because of many reasons, not always because they are lazy. She/he legit means this video worked as a bridge for people who don't/can't explore to feel like one.
@@karimaanugrah2707 no I don't just mean explore I mean just getting out and about period this is why this world is doomed because everyone is stuck in the matrix instead of the real life we was born into
Maybe she does leave her home but not to go exploring, it's a costly mistake if you get caught
The real one actually exists and was abandoned due to an underground coal mining accident that happened under the town
He has a video of it. Centralia
Hey Josh , I just want to say you're really awesome, and I smile when I see you post new videos . I love diving back through all your old videos. They give me so much nostalgia. I've pretty much dove into dreams I wish I could experience , just because of your channel. ❤
Thanks to Josh and the whole crew! The atmosphere this town is really otherworldly. You asked a question about the flag with the flame next to it.
the United Methodist Church has a logo like that that you'll see on their churches or church signs.
I really do appreciate how all of you show so much respect for the people and their belongings.
I don’t live too far from Parksville the sign that said Memories on it was for a store called Memories that sold antiques and the diner was the I86 Diner which stood for Interstate 86 which is eventually what 17 is being turned into which is why this town became a ghost town 17 ran right through the middle of town and they built a new road and exit which routes the road around Parksville causing its demise.
The place. The music. I honestly think this is my favorite video you've done. I'm such a big Silent Hill fan.
Josh... you should explore Searcy in Mt. Vernon, Alabama. i’ve passed it dozens of times. It’s an abandoned mental hospital with about 4 large buildings and a dark history. there’s rumors of apparitions and ghosts that haunt the place, and even photos of “ghosts” in the windows. super creepy, everyone in this area wants to explore it!!
You should have talked to some locals! Having grown up in Parksville, I can tell you it is NOT Abandonded nor is it anything like Silent Hill. Alot of those business closed when Route 17 was moved to where it is now and bypassed Parksville completely. The Road you called Main St used to be Route 17 and there used to be a stop light in the intersection, on the 4 lane highway that ran right through there past Fiddles ice cream stand. The real Main St Parksville is the road the pharmacy is on. Daytop was the drug rehab center and closed shortly after they had a fire. The Paramount fire was an incredible blaze we could see from the next hill away and that which I believe started in the kitchen! (the area with the steel beams exposed next to the road was part of the rebuild effort).
I just want to say that I have so much respect for you. By far, one of the most genuine CZcamsrs I have seen. Been here since the beginning, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for giving us real content, Josh.
Thanks alot !! Real content is what I do xP
Thanks for fueling my “Abandoned Addiction” that i developed of winter break Josh
Look up "the proper people" as well they are really good explorers.. Also "shiey"
I use to drive through this town on my way to college upstate. Once they rerouted the highway in the mid 2000s, it went under, always wanted to stop by the memories store but never did. So sad to see it just wasting away.
Ye this town does have a Silent Hill vibe to it. I’m glad that I found this channel on CZcams, it’s great to watch you explore abandoned places
I wanna do something like this but there’s probs nothin in my area and I get scared of everything 😂
I thought Centralia was “the real Silent Hill”.... with all their coal fires and stuff.
Anastassiya G that was the real silent hill location; this is just being compared to it
He’s always reminded of the Silent Hill games when he’s exploring. He says it a lot in his videos.
Centralia is the true place of silent hill do your research
I'm imagining what everything looks like back then and i can say. That place is wonderful
So spooky. That house at the start literally looks like Dahlia's house we see in the opening of the first Silent Hill.
I didn't notice where there was any signs of any fire anyplace. Maybe there was just not enough business around there to keep anything afloat?
If you hear sirens and everything gets really gloomy run
Why
???
@@jasminlohse-flynn480 Silent Hill reference
It does look like Silent Hill! And even the snow and fog, you even added music from the games! Its great to see this all, thanks guys
As always , another great exploration from Josh and company . 😊 . I envey you young people. The walking involved in these videos. My legs are not what they used to be . Loving these adventures . ☺🇺🇸
Something about these types of vid, all the memories those places hold.
Dude your videos are so inspirational
PS: didn't notice your earring until now
really loving the ambient music in the background, sets a really good tone. keep doing it!
ive been here once many years ago when on a trucking run the place was in much better shape and was not completely abandoned nice to see you preserve this part of history
Lmao I wanna make a supercut of Josh saying "the diet starts right now" cuz he's been saying that shit since the US roadtrip days 😂
Why do vandals have to ruin the joint.. these buildings could be used for homeless people 🙄
I dont understand why the towns abandoned anybody habe answers
But wow interesting watch
@@mistywilkins74 that's for sure..government psrties are corrupt. They don't wanna spend the money to fix the buildings.. which is BS when we pay taxes..at least it would be going to good use
Do you seriously think the government gives a fuck about the homeless?
Yeah fix them up n put drug using homeless in them..great plan..duhhh
@@user-zm9yc2kb8x yeah, cuz every homeless person is a drug addict. Man, I sure hope u never experience being homeless. I bet u wouldn't last a day.
@@strifedivine yeah but a good percent of homeless are bound to be on drugs.
You're right, "ghost town" doesn't necessarily mean abandoned. A lot of websites label them abandoned towns though, which suggests nobody lives there.
Like how josh always go somewhere and also he tell the story behind the place he visit. it gave me more anknowledge on history
I love when Josh gets a fright from another explorer.. I have to keep watching it over..
Hi...😜👍
I PASS THIS TOWN EVERYDAY OMG THIS IS SO COOL
Hey Josh I watch your show a lot and I really enjoy what you'll do. When y'all went to the Paramount in Parksville that was awesome my name happens to be Matthew Parks and Parksville was named after my great-great-great-grandfather. Keep on exploring and showing the world what we have forgotten.
I love the colors on the walls of the first house. Just beautiful!
14:10 a car drives by on main st lol
30% Ghost Town
Thanks guys had fun watching your video! 📼🎥 love the energy laughing 😂 and goofing off! Wish we all could do that! It's now November 2020😷😷😷 everyone in Maryland is still on lockdown pretty much! I guess everywhere? Be safe on your adventures, squatter could be there living! ⛺ this is the first time i ever watched your channel! 🏭🏰🏯🌆🌇🌃🏦
One thing I have learned from watching you is A the amount of destruction is outrageous why people got to trash everything and B the grafetti is every where but also that you respect the places you go to and care about them to learn the history
Very cool! It does indeed have a Silent Hill vibe to it and adding the music from the movoe made it great!
I drove through this town when I grew up in NY in the Catskills. A lot of places are abandoned because people moved to cities because there is no more jobs in these small towns. This is west of Kingston and Poughkeepsie area.
I get people move out and a lot of it gets left, but all of it. I would thinks some people would stay.
Also NY is losing residents pretty fast. Too many dumb laws and incredibly high taxes.
Currently live in parksville...its quiet...lol and the "religious summer camp" with the blessings box was DayTop drug rehab, i worked there in 2007. Supported the sobriety of over 100 residents at a time.. fiddles was the best spot to grab a quick lunch and ice cream!
Cool! You mentioned there is a place to eat?
@@lolag1078 fiddles... it's no longer.. the ice cream place they went in to... used to have food and ice cream
One day in the future when you hang up your exploring shoes, you should produce a book of all the places you've visited with photos, full descriptions and locations. It would actually be a sort of history book and would be a great seller.
Cool stuff! Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe!
It's crazy that we have so many homeless people in the country. We should have the people relocate to this town and fix it and make it livable again.
You do realise that would cost actual money right? A lot of actual money.
The intro was actually cool though, ngl.
Roblox player I see.
@@sonnyean1659 Oof, I'm late, but yee!
You kids are real cool. Most kids are sitting around playing games and smokin weed but you guys are actually doing something cool. God Bless you guys. Love you from an old Trucker.
I am blown away with the level of recording and editing, as you continue with this I am sure you will be able to learn more and more but seriously wow!
