- I wasn't expecting to see THIS on this latest Google Maps Adventure, but needless to say, it gave me a pretty good scare!
In this video I try to locate and identify my latest Google Maps find. This in a location that I've never filmed from before and although it's not extremely remote, it does seem a bit unusual for its location. Also, for those who stick around until later in the video, I will show a bonus item that I came across on my way to this location.
Did I find the item? What is it? Come along with me for this latest Google adventure!

Talk about an unexpected scary encounter... Don't forget to stick around for the BONUS location!

Why are you afraid of snakes? Learn to identify them and then you won't be scared. Most snakes are non-venomous and don't want anything to do with you.
@@IceLynne Yeah that was a harmless rat snake.
30:44 @JPVideos81 Please consider carrying a low cost respirator or a high quality face diaper. Seriously, I prefer your safety first, black-molded basement er-oh-um never, just saying.
if you didnt put that toilet paper on the holder in the restroom then someone else did recently that roll has no dust or mold on it like the rest of the stuff in the house. someones been there recently aside from you if thats the case
The green piece of equipment in the shed was a industrial-grade water pump made by The F. E. Myers & Bro. Company of Ashland, Ohio. The company was founded in 1870. By 1884, they had an extensive factory that covered several city blocks. The company held 125 patents on various pump designs and diverse products such as porch swings, bicycle stands, hay tools, store ladders, door hangers, etc. All of those products, at one time or another, were manufactured and sold by Myers. They are still making pumps today under the Pentair Myers brand. Today they make mostly submersible pumps, sewage pumps, and centrifugal jet pumps. Although now owned by the Pentair corporation, F. E. Myers Co. is still based in Ashland, Ohio, where they have 600 employees.
The pump seen in the video converted rotary motion into reciprocal motion to drive "sucker" rod up and down to operate a cylinder in the bottom of the well. This type of pump could lift water several hundred feet so, if it pumped from the pond, it could have potentially supplied users at a higher elevation. Perhaps the trail has a pipe buried under it?
As a 12" stroke model the pump was the largest size Myers made of the type. Starting in the early In early 1900's Myers began to design, build, and sell electric powered automatic versions. Prior to that, pumps like this would have been powered by internal combustion engines. The electric motors made them more dependable for unmanned usage.
The water filter and plastic piping seen in the corner of the shed is newer and likely unrelated to the big cast iron piston pump. Seeing that near the pond was that pipe described as a "spout" and the cover with electrical, I think I know what may be going on. The "spout" is actually an air vent for the covered chamber below. It likely has a small electric pump in it that pumps water from the pond up to those plastic pipes & filter in the shed. The other water-related items seen on the ground near the cover are likely associated with a chambered pump. The one with the "Sames Water" cover is for an underground shutoff. (These are commonly known as a 'municipal tap'). The valve is located below the frost level and would be opened or closed from that cover using a long tool. The other thing isn't a "valve" as noted but rather a cleanout. It may be associated with the supply pipe coming in from the pond.
I suspect that after the big piston pump was no longer needed, the smaller system was installed. If the house was relatively close by it could be the water system for the house or some other use close to the shed. I point out that nobody would use the big pump for a single house as the electrical costs would be ridiculous. It must have supplied something that needed much more water
@@rossmacintosh5652 Awesome comments, thanks for doing the research and sharing it here for the rest of us to see!
Still using a similar pump on a deep water well in southern Ontario. Not sure of the make

Showed this video to a friend who said they are pretty sure this was the sight of an ecological research program. He recognized the equipment for water sampling/filtering in conjunction with the overall health of the ecosystem.
5:23 somebody paid a LOT of money to bring those powerlines in there
Looks like a pump house. Definitely an old vintage well pump. Black rat snakes are harmless to people, not so to rats!
@@toordog1753snakes don't give people disease. Maybe the rats...probably not unless you're eating them or around them.
The weather description at the end of the first 2 minutes made me jealous. 60s with no humidity in August! That is my kind of weather.
Humidity and temps are already back up
Not me, St Louis,MO Aug 27th, 102°F 95% humidity, this is my kind of weather, if it's summer it should feel like summer 😋
@@JPVideos81 yes, it is in the 90s where I am with 90% humidity. I am looking forward to the fall, it has been one hot summer this year.
“I’m not going inside” proceeds to go inside…😆
Pump house insulated to keep pumps from freezing. Probably agriculture irrigation.
Thank you. Saved me half an hour.
@@alexpervanoglu7420 But that's the fun of watching these exploration videos...
@@alexpervanoglu7420 ? what's the point in even caring abt these videos if you aren't going to watch the exploration?
Im my mind, the pump was to provide water to the house. The manhole may have been part of a septic system and that pipe coming up was a gas vent. The roof looks no worse than my 25 year old roof. Take the co-ordinates, figure out what town its in and you can go on GIS maps to determine the property lot number and pull up who owns it. My guess its been empty for no more than 20 years. The moisture in the basement is probably ground water that was controlled by a sump pump. The lack of much water damage upstairs makes me think those upper windows haven't been broken for that long. The lack of animals, bird poop, and other derbis makes me think it was sealed up very well until recently.
Yeah I could tell that was not a new roof, but I don't fault JP, not everyone can judge that stuff...
I've boight a lot of pre foreclosures..This would appear to be a foreclosed property. Often times when they revert back to the lender, theyll take measures to preserve properties. Board up windows, repair or re roof if the roof is in poor condition..clearly some water damage inside, so the previous roof was shot.. Theyll also winterize toilets and it appears someone has in house, otherwise the tanks would have been full at some point and a freeze would have shattered them. So in my opinion someone has protected the property from further water damages. And that someone is most likely a local bank or lender. Only thing that doesnt point in thst direction is a bank or lender or even the city will normally board up all windows and exterior doorways and not just one window. But... It also, as you moted, apears someone's been squatting in the property. So its possible boards may have been removed. They make for a quick and handy source of firewood if you need heat in a pinch.
The upstairs bathroom in our 1953 Cape Cod house has a bathroom like that. We tiled it, made a shower curtain rod, and a curtain to fit. We use it every day! Wish I could share pics here!
as a kid we had the exact same water pump at home, it was pretty noisy to say the least . the house sure would be a great place to live, probably take less money to remodel than a new home ..great video take care my friend
Yup, off grid living. Redo the roof. Add a outhouse somewhere? New door. You never know...
Perhaps a government safe house - way away from everything, but well able to know if anyone approaches.
OR - perhaps just a fun summer family residence?
Just some random thoughts.
You are very brave to go into these places- they give me the hebie jeebies! 😊😂
That's a lot of work for a tiny pond! If it needed monitoring there is something more going on. I'd look for mining activity or illegal dumping somewhere above that site that contaminated a natural spring or a larger body of water that feeds it. I bet the door would have signage lending more information to the building.
I don't know if the abandonment of the house is related or not because it's location in relation to the pond is not known.
Oh, ratsnakes love roofs and structure gaps. That's where the rats and mice are!
My guess would be that the pump house / water system was to supply water to the big house. Someone put a fair amount of work and money into setting this up. The mystery' for me, is why they abandoned this set up. Thank you for another enjoyable video.
A still maybe
@@SallyLaBaume I like the way you think, Sally, but I can assure you that it's not a still nor anything to do with a still.
That was my thought too. I figure it was a house that burned down some time ago. Or for the house he checked out. Depending on how far away it was.
Housing developments in more rural areas that do not have direct connections to pressurized muni water systems will often have "dry hydrants" for fire fighting that contain 10,00 gallons of water in underground tanks. Older farm houses and remote houses would simply have a pond that fire crews could always drop a hose in to fight any fires, and probably also for irrigation.
I live in PA and that's Sasquatch/Dogman country where he's exploring and that house is abandoned for a reason. I'm sure if I scan this entire video there's something in the background that he had no idea was even there.
Awesome Google Maps adventure JP! At least the black snakes you ran across are harmless, folks around my parts call them Cow suckers, I used to catch them and play with them when I was a kid, I've been bitten by them several times when I didn't grab them close enough to the back of their head, they bring a little blood and leave a u shaped bite but nothing severe there teeth are like little saw blades. I have a couple that shed their skin in one of my buildings every year, I leave them alone because they catch mice I really like them. But spiders terrify me! 😂👍
Reaminds me of these small lizards by my house.they have a nasty jaw lock bite.😅
I can handle being surrounded by snakes, but a spider the size of a quarter will have me scream like a little girl and run the other way...lol!
@@ultra4e same here!😂👍
My speculation on the house. Elderly couple (or individual) retirement house. Had a late remodel and soon after they passed away. Kids, if any, weren't interested in the house. Most of the stuff inside would have been taken out and sold or distributed between any kids.
I live in eastern Colorado in cattle ranch / grain farms territory and as you travel around you can see many abandoned ranch/farm houses, most of them falling apart, from ranch families who grew old, passed away and any kids had already left for the big city. There is a section along I-70, between here and Denver where back in the late 1800s or early 1900s a ranch put in a telephone line linking several ranch houses and a couple of barn facilities where cattle were raised. Some of the wires are still stretched between poles. This would have been a wooden box phone system with the cranks for ringing.
You ought to look it up at the county property records and do a title search and see what that property was once used for. With those water lines, it may have been a camp ground at one time.
Where I live, there are remnants of abandoned Nike missile bases scattered across several counties.
Harmless rat snakes. Rarely ever bite, even while being handed. Definitely not something to be freaking out about.
Yep, harmless ol' black rat snakes. Great climbers they do love to drop hang down and scare people. A snake with a sense of humor. What's not to love about that? Do keep in mind though a snake about to shed is not in a friendly mood. They can't see well and that makes them very nervous.
Thanks for the confirmation. Maybe one day I'll get more comfortable around them.
@@JPVideos81 No worries… I’m absolutely phobic of bats. Everyone has their little phobias and people’s perception of said phobias never helps. Sorry if I was rude or judgmental.
Thanks for that but when I encounter a snake, I have to assume it is venomous and the type of snake you just don't wanna mess with.
Snakes will always be snakes to me and it they always freak me out.
No need to wonder about the empty house or the pond property. Go online and see if the county there has a GIS parcel map (almost every place does) and you can see the history of who/what owned the property, when it changed hands, tax and assessment history, etc. Same for the pond site - if a business, the ownership name may reveal the use type, or there may also be a property description that says what the land was used for.
Those maps are great for pre-trip planning. That way you know if you'll be on public land or trespassing on private property (just don't admit to having known ahead of time that it was private property).
Although having exact answers does help, sometimes it's more fun to use your imagination on what took place.
@JPVideos81 A Senior Citizen may have lived there and didn't want to leave their home so a remodel was tried. If the owner passed away in the house, they are very difficult to sell. I did not hear you say what part of The USA this is in bit there may have been a type of business or a ranch and when people/animals ho away, all that's left are the walls. I think it could be stripped and rebuilt or just refurbished but who is going to live that far from anything retail? The water in the pond may have been the source for the house but unless you look up it's history, it's hard to tell what it was used for. The scenery is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
@@ruthsawyer8867 in the Beginning he said Pennsylvania near New Jersey borderline
OH HELL NO. Yes that is the correct response. 🤣🤣🤣
I like the location of that house. I'd actually be interested in it. And you really should wear a respirator in those moldy conditions. You don't want that getting in your lungs. Be careful
Was not expected that house to be that nice inside.
I'm in Florida, so things might be a little different but usually when you find an abandoned house like that, it turns out to be in probate and family members are fighting over it. Parents die, didn't leave a will and the kids all think it should be theirs. Too bad because the houses usually settle into the ground while the kids fight.
The upgrades are interesting, especially the roof, that's some money. The kids might have been smart enough to get together and put a roof on it before it was too late, even if they are still fighting over it.
I found a beautiful log cabin a few years ago, next to a river, just slowly disintegrating and when I researched the property, it had been in probate for over a decade. Sad.
The other is definitely a pumping station, probably agricultural because it isn't a well but pumping out of a body of water. The filters were probably for silt and sand, not to make it potable.
Great find!
Love the Google map adventures more than anything else! Keep em coming! Thanks!
The bonus find was a nice surprise ....love to go thru abandoned houses . Can't imagine why it has been left to rot . The google search was a beautiful location ...not a disappointment at all ..( can do without the snakes too ...LOL ) Always fun to follow you in your adventures ...Thanks for taking us along ..💙👍
I guess snakes is just part of the experience. Glad I didnt accidentally step on one. Hopefully that house gets a new life.
@@JPVideos81 I stepped on a snake when we were out walking one time ...yikes ..I did a little jumping around ...LOL...I still think of that sometime ..LOL...
"That is a big hell to the no," on seeing that big snake slithering into the roof. I'm right there with ya.
I've always worried about snakes in all the places you've explored. Thank goodness they are harmless. You did great in still exploring the inside of the building. I would have run for sure.
Thanks 👍
It's likely a hunting/fishing lodge. Not necessarily abandoned. The members of the charter that is the guardian of this property has probably dwindled off with no younger men to step up to the plate. Pump house would be primed and fired up on arrival, insulation protecting from harsh winters. Structures in pools probably mooring for a fishing dock either unfinished or collapsed. New work May be someone trying to revitalize and reclaim the structure. This is exactly what we are dealing with at our Fishing camp
Lovely little house in the woods.
😂
Once a year I check Google Earth pics of my property (mostly swampland). Earlier this summer I checked the map and discovered a wrecked hangglider on my property, but inaccessible due to the swamp. I called police to check for any reports of a missing pilot and they had none. So, as far as I know the hangglider is still there, 2 years later. I love Google Earth, you can find many strange things there.
Definitely a pump house, probably 1 of 3 things, Gov/Eco research monitoring site, Natural spring bottling site, or water source for growing ones "Herbs" without worrying about to many nosey neighbors 😉
Looks like a harmless black snake
Over a month now, i think I've watched every one of your videos.... I really enjoy the content you put out, I like the way you a mixture of different scenes.. Some of videos really was triggering my fear of hights and being in some deep dark hole...Thank you so much for what you do. Stay safe!
I’ve explored houses like this. My guess is that it was vacant a long time (judging by the old 60s furniture). Roof was probably failing. Someone new acquired it and attempted to fix it up, and either ran out of money or realized the restoration would cost much more than they were willing to spend, and gave up.
That abandoned house is a real mystery! Like, WHY??? 😮
What a shame!
Maybe that house is haunted, I don't know. But that house sure looks out of place given its isolated location. Just my thoughts. Excellent video.
I bet the vibes of that place are very creepy at night!
You know that pump house probably was the Main water feed for the house you found. I think you're probably fine they've been abandoned the same amount of time.
Thanks for the big laugh! As soon as I heard the “HOLY SHIT” and saw the snake…😂 I’m with you!
You can usually find the age of a home by looking inside the toilet tank or under the tank lid. Add 6-8 months to the date in the toilet and you'll come close to the date the home was built.
Dumbest thing I've ever heard 😂 so my 89 with remodel bathroom is a 2020 good to know
While I see lots in the comments taking about how harmless rat snakes are, I do agree, but that has nothing to do with the fear. My aunt, bless her heart. She is afraid of mice. That woman doesn't move fast. Get a mouse to come out and not only would her speed impress. But the fact that she can climb up anything with a quickness!
I love opening Google Maps and following along while I watch you explore these locations.
House looks like it might had been used for witness protection.
Shhhh... 🤫🤐😬
My guess is that from fixtures and furniture the house is 70's or 80s. Maybe the property owner passed away with no one to leave it to.
I agree, gas range puts it mid 70's maybe early 80's but by then gas was largely being phased out sadly. That thermostat as well is old style. The owner passing is also a common enough reason for those kinds of finds. I really like that house, it's odd like me.
I believe the National Park Service owns all that land as part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
I think owner has passed away and children's have moved far away and have already own homes.
Not sure didn't they find any who wanted to buy it or was there some child against to sell it.
Seen this kind situation near my old home where next "house" is almost falling apart because of that.
If it is National Park land, once the owner passes away, the house and land revert to the National Park system not the owners children. That happened in Boston twp. in the Cuyahoga National Park here in Ohio, there are several homes and businesses left abandon.
Most likely the pump house to an old farm house.
*You should come to Australia* --------- a home ain't a home --------- *unless it's got a few snakes in it* --- 😆
The spiders in Australia are HUGE! Bigger than any we have here in Texas.
I cant handle spiders at all
Not where I live in Australia.
Very Interesting Find JP, the snakes is a scary find. I think that could have been a pump house. Or it could have been a underground water well. That supplied water to the house, very interesting that house does look recently renovated. Wired to see it abandoned, in that condition.
Well, down south we call what you say, jumping frogs just frogs! All frogs jump my friend! 😅
Haha. Maybe leaping frogs
@@JPVideos81"Leaping Lizards" was the correct derivative of that interjection, me thought (or is it 'thought I? or thought me?)?
Alas, I knot no?
The motor should be mounted on top of the pump. The area you said was for an attachment is for a wheel. I Googled Myers self oiling working head. Scrolled to images.
Very well done.. Enjoyed this very much. Much better than most other videos about abandoned houses and places that are online today... I have subscribed... Keep them coming... Take care and many thanks for doing the video and providing the narrative... Will be checking more of your other videos.. God Bless and be safe out there..
Appreciate you stopping by
I like this one JP. Interesting area, interesting finds, nice house. Thanks.
That is a prefect example of why I do not do any kind of exploring this time of the year and stick to riding the e-bike and railfanning. Too many slithery creatures out there.
Hey JP👋, what a great find. Plus a abandoned house made the trip worth it. Thanks again for sharing!
Two for one with this one
The bonus location was fascinating! Great video!
Yes! With internet access, AC, & heat, I could live there happily
The house is abandoned because Bigfoot is in them woods! 😀
Good video!
😯
He was lucky to survive.
That's a pretty location. It puzzles me why a manhole cover would be so far out there....oh. Snakes are fine, I was afraid you ran into a PERSON......give me ghosts, bears, snakes.....it's people I'm most afraid of.
I hear ya
I believe it’s a preparation bunker under the manhole cover
That's what I thought seeing the pipe sticking out as well as that pipe with the opening facing down. Looks to me like ventilation piping @@dalebrigham6466
@@dalebrigham6466 I thought the same thing. Be interested to see what's under there.
Housing developments in more rural areas that do not have direct connections to pressurized muni water systems will often have "dry hydrants" for fire fighting that contain 10,00 gallons of water in underground tanks. Older farm houses and remote houses would simply have a pond that fire crews could always drop a hose in to fight any fires, and probably also for irrigation.
Wow what a adventure this was more questions than answers, and those snakes I feel the same as you.I DO NOT LIKE SNAKES!!!. Great job Jay👍👍
I was happy to show them on camera, but that's about it haha
@@JPVideos81 That was enough for me
Jay, I really enjoy your google finds adventures. The house was quite the surprise! I couldn't believe how decent of the condition it was in for being abandoned.
Please look up the location to find the address. You can find some information on the county tax auditors website. Epa has information about superfund sites which would tell you if contamination is the reason the house is abandoned. I’m interested on an update if you do find any information.
Your channel is my new favorite now btw.
I bet it was a lovely property when it was built, strange why it was abandoned, shame really, i liked it, nice find jp
House can be saved definitely, with time and money. Easily a three bathroom home..
Yeah those snakes freaked me out 😂
In the old image there was a second building that you can barely see that was later removed.
Abandoned house with repairs not more then 5yrs old. Covid is one explaination.
Where's the location of that house in the bonus section of your video?
I'd like to contact the county/city to get more information on the place and possibly look into buying the place.
previous comment said the beginning of the video indicated Pennsylvania near Delaware border
Cool find, I need to start looking at older satellite maps like you do. I've always liked looking at google maps for oddities.
As soon as you kicked that piece of tin roof that was on the ground my first thought was " don't look under there! There's gonna be SNAKES!!! " That water pump was probably feeding water to that house and one day a bunch of snakes looking for a place to hibernate crawled into the pipes and infested the house killing the inhabitants... The story was kept hush-hush by local authorities.🤔
Hahaha I like that story. Let's run with it.
@@benmcreynolds8581 😜😜😜
you’ve got a great imagination 😃
🤣
@@jagd1 👉🍕👈
That looks like a pump house. Maybe the pond is spring fed and was used for agriculture or municipal use. If spring fed the pond would replenish itself. Another good video J.P.
Seems like a well-maintained trail.
The pathway you're walking on looks to be somewhat maintained by someone.
Correct. It's a public walking trail.
Sounds like fun! Yes just got here by accident lol. Will check your otther vids definitely! Subed also that was the edit!
Black racer snakes. They get really long and scary-looking, and obviously they can move quite fast given their name, which also freaks people out, but they're mostly harmless and quite beneficial in that they keep the local rodent population down. Not poisonous, but it's safe to assume they WILL bite you if you mess with them, and you'll probably get a nasty infection from their teeth that are maybe not quite long enough to be called fangs.
I love that house. As a handyman, that's my dream home
Find out where it is and there's your dream project.
Loved seeing your reaction to the snakes! Great video; thanks for taking us into the abandoned home. Sad to see it going into reclaiming of nature. Beautiful area. Much appreciated; take care, JP! …….🌝
Holy shnit, Bullwinkle! I cracked up! Freaky find!😂😂😂
😁
I will never understand why people are so afraid of snakes.
Me either. I would have been ecstatic to find them. That's usually my goal when I go in the woods, find and admire the snakes lol
Because it’s the symbol of evil, and they are so creepy
I never had much experience with them. But I'm definitely not interested. Especially w the constrictors n poisonous ones. But that's all the more for you n others to enjoy for yourselves. 😊
I had snakes thrown at me as a child by cousins. Therefore they are terrifying to me.. they tend to be unpredictable and unless you know what snakes are what.. you don’t know for sure if they’re venomous or not.
@@Jennifermcintyre are you afraid of your cousins too?? Or just the innocent animals that just wanted to be left alone, that those brats harmed to scare you? Y'all always blame the victims, not the people who did it in the first place. the animals were just as much victims as you were, but you're scared of the wrong one. Bet the snakes didn't hurt you, your cousins gave you lasting trauma but I'm sure you're ok with them though.
Enjoyed this video! So, where was it pumping water to/from? It's a shame that house is just sitting, looks like it would be a neat little place to call home. I don't know how far the pond is from the house, but I've heard of homes being shut down due to encroaching wetlands......
Snakes and frogs, no problem. Black mold and ticks, problem. I would call that property Tick Camp.
You better check all your 2,000 body parts. Have a great weekend.
Tick free on this trip
@@JPVideos81, We deal with 5 different ticks in NS. Tick suit for me all the way!!😅
What a shame about the house 😢, it would have been such a cute little place once. I would have been so happy to have that when I was starting out.
Me too!
I'm thinking the pump and pond (dug for that purpose) serviced the house or other houses that might have been around there. Your guess is as good as mine. lol Cool rat snakes. Probably a breeding pair and yes, the one is getting ready to shed. I so appreciate that even though you are afraid of them, you leave them alone. The house was a nice but puzzling surprise. If the shower head was facing straight down, no water would have went out the back. It was a really nice house at one time.
A shame it was left for whatever reason, especially seeing someone was trying to fix it up. Thanks for taking us along.
I'm glad I wasn't on their menu 😅
There was a previous joking comment about 'bigfoot'. I bet that place is completely different at night and possibly some cryptid ran off the occupants.
Not to worry. That was a beautiful, healthy rat snake, probably a black rat snake. you probably could have picked it up being very gentle without any scary moments. Also, you can be pretty sure that there are no rats in that building.
Yes they're very calm nice snakes for sure! I love getting to see them they're so beautiful!
Tasty on the BBQ too!
It is wonderful that you hike and search out obscure locations. I would not even get that close with the snake.
I really like that open path to walk to the destination. So peaceful and quiet a place. I agree with you on the snakes thing...I don't want to be anywhere around where THEY are! Funny there is no holding tank of any kind for water there in the shed. The water in the pond does look murky but not really stagnant so I'm wondering if there is a feed stream incoming somewhere. If not, the pond probably would have dried up years ago! And Tthat HOUSE!!! What a shock!!! Was it seen on Google Maps also or just a surprise find? It's a shame it is just sitting there unused. Enjoyed this video very much. :)
I didnt see the house on google maps, but it's in a different area of what I did find.
First time here and it was nice. Cool explore.
Looks like you found some sort of watershed. Would love to know the story on it. What really interests me is the abandoned house. There may be some information online in regards to it or the township may have records of its history. Looks like it would've been a really decent house when it was all fixed up. Such a shame
Thank you 🙏, I travel the world on Google earth atm I am visiting all the atolls I can find, from the safety of my kitchen, as an armchair traveler I really enjoyed this video and I look forward to seeing all your adventures ❤️ from 🏴
Rat snakes can creepy and get huge but harmless, they keep the rodents in check too. You were lucky to see them.
I'm sure the contractors had to wonder about what they were doing way out in the country. I'm sure they had a nice long driveway to plow
That water filtering system is strange just to he sitting there but as that house, maybe someone lived there and took care of that filtering system. Who knows, Jay? lol.
Seriously? That rat snake is about the most harmless thing you could come across in the woods 😂😂😂
Wow! Those are big snakes!😯
18:07 up and to the left of the cap he's trying to read, even more poison ivy. "Leaves of Three, Leave them be!"
If that House could Talk, it could probably Tell some Good Stories. Many things can happen to cause a Home like this to become Vacant, owners can Die, Move because of Job, etc...
Yes, that seems really odd that house was abandoned after a newer roof and remodeling had begun. Somehow, the owner may have lost the home, or something else. Really curious, now. Your videos always get the imagination going, Jay. That's one reason I love your Google map finds. Really gorgeous scenery, too! I hope you don't find snakes next time. Great video! Thanks so much!💙

It's not that new of a roof, it is in decent shape and is at least 10-15 years old. Maybe it has another 10 in it before a new one is needed. Sun fade proves it's not so new anymore. And it is odd that it appears to have been undergoing some light renovations, paint downstairs looks mostly new, unfinished drywall upstairs. Older fixtures say 50's or 60's to me as well as the old chair.
I bet there are some GIANT bass in that pond.
Nice big house in the middle of nowhere.
Definitely could be fixed up and updated.
Who knows what ever happened to the last owners.
Would need a good sturdy car, to live there.
Do you think the snakes were as equally freaked out by him lmao
I swear this guy looks like billstmaxx's long lost brother
That house looks like it could be fixed up very easy...lol JP i hate snakes tooooo, and here in aussie land we have the worst of the worst. Another fun video :)
You can keep em over there...
